ALL Technicians & Technician Supervisors
In order to meet Federal Employment Compensation Guidelines, it is mandatory that Supervisors and Employees use the following electronic process for submission of OWCP forms any time there is an injury at work.
Department of Labor requires that forms CA-1's and CA-2's be at OWCP within 10 calendar days from the date of notice of injury.
The following Guidelines MUST be utilized to submit Workers Compensation Electronic Forms CA-1's and CA-2's to HRO-ERS:
Note: If an employee needs immediate medical care, at the supervisor's discretion, issue a CA-16 prior to completing CA-1. Supervisor completes page 1 of Ca-16. Doctor completes page 2 of CA-16. Ensure employee gets page 2 of the CA-16 back from the doctor. See CA-16 Cover Letter (Attached Below) for more information on the CA-16. A CA-16 is not needed for military medical clinics for first aid treatment. We encourage the use of military medical clinics, but it is not mandatory. If you need a copy of the CA-16 please call DSN 608-562-0870.
The Supervisor & Employee should go to the below web site to complete electronic CA-1's and CA-2's.
Go to the CPMS Website: http://www.cpms.osd.mil/ICUC/ICUC_index.aspx, then click on "Filing Claims Electronically with EDI" (on the left). It will take a few minutes for the form to populate.
In order for link to work, you must have JAVA Plus Systems loaded to your computer (contact your Helpdesk for this program). In order for the Electronic CA-1/CA-2 to come up, you may have to temporarily allow pop-ups.
Enter SSN and DOB. Click Enter Claim. Name will auto-populate. Complete all tabs on the form. You must have JAVA Plus and a recent ADOBE version for this to work. Call your IT/computer help desk if you need help getting these loaded.
White fields are mandatory, yellow fields are optional. No dashes in phone numbers.
Periodically click in the zip code fields to prevent the claim from timing out.
It is recommended to input claims before Noon (Eastern) for faster processing times, as the West Coast is also using EDI in the evening.
Once the form is completed, click "print" and "submit to ICPA". Once the form is submitted it will be electronically sent to HRO-ERS to be reviewed and forwarded to OWCP. Please call HRO DSN 608-562-0870 to verify that the claim was received. HRO-ERS will e-mail a copy of the CA-1 to the supervisor and HRO Reps if applicable.
Supervisor and Employee should sign printed forms (CA-1, CA-16) and mail signed originals to:
New Jersey National Guard
HRO - Employee Relations, Benefits, & Services
3650 Saylors Pond Road
Workers Compensation Program Manager
Phone: (609) 562-0866
Fax: (609) 562-0845
Once a CA-1 is entered, if the employee needs medical care, supervisor at his/her discretion should issue a CA-16 to accompany technician to the doctor. (A CA-20 should be sent with employee to the doctor if the claim is questionable by supervisor or medical attention is needed later than 4 days after injury)
7. A CA-17 is recommended to send with the employee to determine work restrictions. The supervisor completes the left-hand side of CA-17. The doctor completes the right side. Please see attached Policy Memo stating that supervisors are required to provide light duty. Please call 608-562-0870 if you have questions regarding Light Duty or Continuation of Pay (COP).
The attending nurse/physician should complete their portion of the CA-16, CA-17, or CA-20 and return all forms to the employee and supervisor so the forms can be mailed to NJ National Guard, HRO-ERBS, ATTN: Worker's Compensation, 3650 Saylors Pond Road, JBMDL, NJ 08640 as soon as possible. Bills and claim may be denied if CA-16 is not received in HRO-EBRS in a timely manner. Make sure to tell the medical providers that the claim is a Federal Workers Compensation claim. The bills should be mailed to ACS, on Forms HCFA 1500's or UB 92's to US DEPT OF LABOR, PO BOX 8300, LONDON, KY 40742-8300. Providers can call ACS at 1-866-335-8319 for billing questions.
Please report injury to your local Safety Offices for reporting and prevention.
For more Workers' Compensation concerns contact the Human Resources Office.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes
09.27.09 by Jackie
Pancakes have an almost magical ability to turn anyone into a child again. There's something irresistible about waking up on a Saturday morning, stumbling into the kitchen and being greeted by the smell of batter and a mountain of fluffy pancakes just begging to be smothered in maple syrup and whipped butter.
Perhaps part of the beauty of pancakes is that they're so simple to make. My teenage sisters-in-law often make them on their own for the family. As with many simple dishes though, attention to detail is the difference between drab and delicious. Read on to learn my tips on making excellent pancakes every time.

Spring Surf Developer Tools are easy-to-use productivity tools for rapidly building Spring Surf applications in the Script/Java programming languages and XML configuration files. It allows you to build high-quality and high-performance enterprise web applications in just minutes. Best of all, Spring Surf Developer Tools works alongside your existing Scripting/Java/XML knowledge , skills and experience. You probably won't need to learn anything new to use Spring Surf Developer Tools, as there's no new language or runtime platform needed. You simply program in your normal Scripting/Java way and Spring Surf Developer Tools just work.
Spring Surf Developer Tools consist of two components, a standard Spring Roo addon and an Eclipse plugin for providing a Surf based Spring Template Project. Both components are fully self-contained within the Spring Surf Developer Tools distribution ZIPs/JARs. You can download Spring Surf Developer Tools from one of the download sites , or build distribution ZIPs/JARs yourself from our source control repository.
If you are upgrading from an existing version of Spring Surf Developer Tools, you should consult the upgrade notes for important information.
Before attempting to install Spring Surf Developer Tools, please ensure you have the following system dependencies:
A Linux, Apple or Windows-based operating system.
A Sun, JRocket or IBM Java 5 or Java 6 installation, with the
environment variable pointing to the installation.
Apache Maven 2.0.10 or above installed and in the path for use with Roo-created projects.
SpringSource Tool Suite (STS), which is Spring's free Eclipse-based IDE that provides a fantastic workspace for building Spring applications. You can of course only install Spring Roo (part of SpringSource Tool Suite) if you are only interested in using Spring Surf Roo addon.
We always recommend you use the latest version of Java (Java 6) and Maven (2.2.x) that are available for your platform. It is required to use Maven 2.2.x for generating Surf site documentation.
It is also highly recommended to set up MAVEN_OPTS with suitable parameters. e.g.
MAVEN_OPTS='-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m'
Once you have satisfied the initial requirements, you can install Surf Developer Tools by following these steps:
Install SpringSource Tool Suite to a directory of your choice which
will be known as
in the directions below. You can locate the Spring Roo home directory (e.g. roo-1.0.2.RELEASE)
right under the
$STS_HOME. This will be known as
If you prefer only install Spring roo seperately, you can unzip the Roo installation
ZIP to a directory of your choice which will be known as
$ROO_HOME in the directions below as well.
If using Windows, add
to your
environment variable
If using Linux or Apple, create a symbolic link using a command
such as
sudo ln -s $ROO_HOME/bin/roo.sh
Surf provides an addon for Spring Roo which allows you to quickly scaffold Surf pages and views on top of your Spring MVC application.
To install the Surf addon for Spring Roo, you need to start Spring Roo shell and run the following roo command.
addon install --url http://www.springsurf.org/downloads/1.0.0-RC2/spring-surf-roo-addon-1.0.0-RC2-roo-addon.zip
roo> addon install --url http://www.springsurf.org/downloads/1.0.0-RC2/spring-surf-roo-addon-1.0.0-RC2-roo-addon.zip Downloading http://www.springsurf.org/downloads/1.0.0-RC2/spring-surf-roo-addon-1.0.0-RC2-roo-addon.zip Received 355781 bytes Written to D:\Alfresco\dev\spring-roo\spring-roo-1.0.2.RELEASE\add-ons\spring-surf-roo-addon-1.0.0-RC2-roo-addon.zip Performing clean Roo home.....: D:\Alfresco\dev\spring-roo\spring-roo-1.0.2.RELEASE Add-ons dir..: D:\Alfresco\dev\spring-roo\spring-roo-1.0.2.RELEASE\add-ons Work dir.....: D:\Alfresco\dev\spring-roo\spring-roo-1.0.2.RELEASE\work >>>>> spring-surf-roo-addon-1.0.0-RC2-roo-addon.zip SAVED spring-surf-roo-addon-1.0.0-RC2.jar
Once it finishes, you should be able to use "addon list" command to view the updated addon list or "addon remove" command to uninstall the Surf addon if necessary.
Surf also provides a Spring template project which allows you to quickly scaffold Surf pages and views within Spring Tool Suites.
To install the Surf Spring template project, all you need to do is to install latest release of Spring Surf Dev tools in Eclipse. You can use the following update sites to directly install the devtools:
Note: the dev tool installation will require installation of Jboos FreeMarker editor
Next verify Spring Surf Developer Tools have been installed correctly.
For the Surf Roo addon, it can be done using the following commands:
$ mkdir surf-test $ cd surf-test $ roo ____ ____ ____ / __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / / / / / / / _, _/ /_/ / /_/ / /_/ |_|\____/\____/ W.X.Y.ZZ [rev RRR] Welcome to Spring Roo. For assistance press TAB or type "hint" then hit ENTER. $ roo> project --topLevelPackage surf.test Created D:\Alfresco\dev\spring-roo\sandbox\surf-test\pom.xml Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES Created SRC_TEST_JAVA Created SRC_TEST_RESOURCES Created SRC_MAIN_WEBAPP Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES\META-INF\spring Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES\META-INF\spring\applicationContext.xml Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES\META-INF\spring\log4j.properties roo> help surf install Keyword: surf install Description: Installs Surf artifacts into your project. Keyword: siteName Help: Specifies site name for your Surf project (last segment of package name used as default). Mandatory: false Default if specified: '__NULL__' Default if unspecified: '__NULL__' Keyword: surf install Description: Installs Surf artifacts into your project. Keyword: siteName Help: Specifies site name for your Surf project (last segme nt of package name used as default). Mandatory: false Default if specified: '__NULL__' Default if unspecified: '__NULL__' * surf install - Installs Surf artifacts into your project. ** Type 'hint' (without the quotes) and hit ENTER for step-by-step guidance ** $ roo> exit $ roo> cd .. $ rmdir surf-test
If you see the help message for Roo surf install command, you've installed and configured Surf Roo addon successfully.
For the Surf Spring template project, let us first start Spring Tool Suite by running the STS executable. We would recommend to start STS in clean mode if you start it for the first time right after Surf Spring Developer tools installation. It will flushe the registry caches (among other information), force the plug-in manifests to be parsed in order to regenerate the registry and definitely save you a lot of time and headaches.
sts.exe -clean
If things are all set, you should see the SpringSource splash screen come up.
From the STS menu, select File -> New -> Spring Template Project
In the New Template Project window, locate and click the Refresh button. In the updated project template list, you should see the option for Spring Surf project which indicates that you have installed and configured Surf Spring template project successfully.
Now that you have installed Surf Developer Tools, let's spend a couple of minutes building an enterprise application using Surf Developer Tools.
The purpose of this application is just to try out Surf Developer Tools. We won't explain what's going on in these steps, but don't worry - we'll do that in the next chaper, Beginning With Surf Developer Tools: The Tutorial. We will try to teach you about some usability features as we go along, though.
Please start by typing the following commands:
$ mkdir surf-app $ cd surf-app $ roo ____ ____ ____ / __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / / / / / / / _, _/ /_/ / /_/ / /_/ |_|\____/\____/ W.X.Y.ZZ [rev RRR] Welcome to Spring Roo. For assistance press TAB or type "hint" then hit ENTER.
Let's first setup a basic Spring project which allows us to use other features that Spring Roo provides:
roo> project --topLevelPackage org.app.surf Created /Users/drq/dev/spring/roo/sandbox/surf-app/pom.xml Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES Created SRC_TEST_JAVA Created SRC_TEST_RESOURCES Created SRC_MAIN_WEBAPP Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES/META-INF/spring Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES/META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES/META-INF/spring/log4j.properties
At this point you've now got a viable Maven-based project setup and you are ready to install Surf related artifacts.

This command installs all required Surf configuration files into your project with the Surf Quick Start application that consists of a few Surf pages, templates, components etc. At this point, we should be able to test the Surf app right the way.
Since a Jetty 7 server plugin has been installed and configured within the generated pom.xml, it is highly recommended to use this Jetty server for future development and testing.
Now let us open a new terminal or command prompt and change the directory to the surf-app project.
Run following maven command to package Surf application, start the Jetty server and deploy the Surf Application:
mvn clean package jetty:run
Once the Jetty server is started, we are ready to visit our new Surf application at http://localhost:8180/.
Please note that the Jetty server uses port 8180. It is actively scanning src/main/webapp folder which means any changes we make to the Surf application will be automatically picked up by the Jetty server.
Since the webapp contex of the current project is set up as "/" (root), we won't have the webapp name in the URLs.
At this point, all other Surf commands will be available to you. Try typing "surf" and then using the TAB key, the Roo shell will display a list of Surf commands.
surf addon install surf addon list surf component create surf component list surf component property create surf component resource create surf content association create surf page association create surf page association list surf page create surf page list surf report page surf site create surf template create surf template instance create surf template instance list surf template list surf template region list surf webscript list
Naturally in this short five minute test we've skipped dozens of features that Surf Developer Tools can provide, and didn't go into any detail on how you could have customised the application. We just wanted to show you that it works and you can build an application in record-time. The Beginning With Surf Developer Tools: The Tutorial chapter will go through the process of building an application in much more depth, including how to work with your IDE and so on.
Now that you've built your first application during the five minute test , you have a rough idea of how it works. To help you learn Surf Roo Commands we ship a sample script that can be used as samples for building your new applications. This sample script has been packaged into the Surf Roo addon jar. You can run any sample script by using the follow command:
roo> script surfquickstart.roo
As we draw to the close of this first chapter, you know what Surf Developer Tools are, why you'd like to use it, have installed it and completed the five minute test, plus you know which samples are available. You could probably stop at this point and apply Surf Developer Tools productively to your projects, but we recommend that you spend a couple of hours learning more about Surf Developer Tools. It will be time well spent and easily recouped by the substantially greater productivity Roo will soon deliver on your projects.
The next step is to complete the Beginning With Roo: The Tutorial chapter. In the tutorial chapter you'll learn how to use Surf Developer Tools with your preferred IDE and how flexible and natural is to develop with Surf Developer Tools. After that you should read the application architecture chapter to understand what Surf applications look like. From there you might wish to wrap up the recommended tour of Surf Developer Tools with a skim over the usage and conventions chapter. This final recommended chapter will focus more on using the Roo tool and less on the applications that Roo creates.
If you can't find the information you're looking for in this reference guide, the resources chapter contains numerous Surf-related web sites and other community resources.
We welcome your comments and suggestions as you go about using Surf. One convenient way to share your experiences is to Tweet with the #springsurf hash code. In any event, we thank you for exploring Surf Developer Tools and hope that you enjoy your Surf journey.

Although the collection was pretty and poetic, the designer's looks lacked the adventure of his fall collection and of Galliano, as WWD remarked, "Gaytten moved away from the founder's theatrics in favor of a cleaner, more architectural sensibility…" Bill Gaytten seems to be coming into his own at John Galliano with this romantic, though at times lackluster collection. Next season, I'm looking forward to a collection with a greater balance between quiet romance and the adventurous spirit of the fashion house.

text: SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC LIBRARY COMMISSION Minutes of the regular meeting of Thursday, January 16, 2003. (As approved amended February 20, 2003) The San Francisco Public Library Commission held a regular meeting on Tuesday, January 16, 2003 in the Koret Auditorium, Main Library. The meeting was called to order at 4:06PM by Vice President Steiman. The following members were noted present: Commissioners Bautista, Coulter Steiman, and Strobin. Commissioners Chin and Streets were excused. President Higueras' arrival was expected to be delayed. Agenda Items: APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE DECEMBER 19, 2002 COMMISSION MEETING BOND PROGRAM MANAGER'S REPORT PROP 14 STATE LIBRARY BOND UPDATE JOINT USE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT PUBLIC COMMENT ADJOURNMENT APPENDIX A AGENDA ITEM #1 APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE DECEMBER 19, 2002 COMMISSION MEETING Public comment: An anonymous member of the public commented that this person's Public Comment remarks as reported were a fair approximation of what was said, called attention to an editorial error in public comment on Item #6, and found lacking the reporting of Commissioner Coulter's comments concerning this individual's remarks about Martin Paley. Mr. Peter Warfield felt that the Minutes could be improved, citing a lack of details in branch renovation reports, and in comments he had made regarding changes on POE recommendations such as elimination of plans to bridge the 2nd floor. Mr. Warfield clarified his reported comments concerning the Library's broken promise of case by case consideration of interim branch services. Commission comment: Motion: Commissioner Coulter, seconded by Commissioner Steiman, that the December 19, 2002 Minutes be approved as amended. Action: AYE 4-0 (Bautista, Coulter, Steiman, and Strobin) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #2 BOND PROGRAM MANAGER'S REPORT Ms. Marilyn Thompson, Branch Library Improvement Program Manager informed the Commissioners that there would be no informational presentation at this meeting, then provided a detailed overview of her regular Budget, Schedule, Site Acquisitions, Active Projects, and Community Outreach Reports (see attached report) The Bond Program Manager called attention to the Budget Report dated January 16th that recapped Bond Program Budget activity to date reflecting the change resulting from Commission action on December 19, 2002. The Bond Program Manager then reported no changes in the Schedule since June 20, 2002. Ms. Thompson then updated the Commissioners concerning site acquisition activities related to the Glen Park, Mission Bay, Portola, Ingleside, and Visitacion Valley Branch Libraries, and the Support Services Center at 190-9th Street. The Bond Program Manager next outlined active projects at the Richmond, Excelsior, Noe Valley, Marina, and Parkside Branch Libraries as well as discussed recent RFQ's for professional services activities. Ms. Thompson then provided a schedule of recent and upcoming community outreach meetings and activities, reported the website up and active, and noted that the next edition of the Bond Program Newsletter should be released in February. Ms. Thompson reported that there would be no special report at this meeting. Public comment: An anonymous member of the public remarked that two items went by quickly, a report that program schedules would be revised as a result of a Prop. 14 strategy, that this person noted had not been adopted by the Commission, and second that the Excelsior Branch design discussion would be held next month. This person noted that previous commitments to discuss Excelsior Branch had not been kept after being announced at the neighborhood meeting and some views concerning the project might not be heard if people were unsure of when the Commission would discuss it. Mr. Peter Warfield complained that explanatory documents were not mailed with the agenda and not available until the meeting, finding this a disservice to the public. Mr. Ed Regan expressed opposition to the proposed new Glen Park Branch, preferring a stand-alone library, and also voiced opposition to any cooperative agreement with the school district at the Portola Branch. Ms. Sue Cauthen commented that she was concerned with possible reductions in branch book collections and suggested that neighborhood organizations were also opposed.Ms. Jeannene Przyblyski, Friends of Noe Valley, lauded the selection of Alice Carey, a noted historic preservation architect, for the Noe Valley Branch and looked forward to the proposed neighborhood design intensive. Commission comment: In response to questions by Vice President Steiman, Ms. Thompson reported that changes in various program costs would most likely result in no significant changes in overall budgeted costs for the Mission Bay Branch Library. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #3 PROP 14 STATE LIBRARY BOND UPDATE City Librarian Susan Hildreth presented a more detailed report and overview of the Prop. 14 State Library Bond Board meeting held on December 2 and 19, 2002 and what the selections might mean for the Library's future applications (copy attached) for Prop. 14 (State Library Bond) funds. Ms. Hildreth analyzed the trends apparent in the allocation of the first $150 million to be awarded and discussed the implications for the $110 million in Cycle 2, and the final Cycle 3 $90 million. Ms. Hildreth discussed the near success of the Excelsior Branch application, citing its strengths and noting that its only weakness was the site's lack of space to expand. The City Librarian then described the rankings and geographical distribution of selected projects and noted that projects located in districts represented by State Bond Board Members fared better than others. Ms. Hildreth then outlined the Library's aggressive planning efforts to participate in the Prop. 14 Cycle 2 applications, calling attention to the strengths of the Richmond Branch application and discussed the competitive merits the of proposed Ingleside and Portola Branch applications. The City Librarian noted that joint use agreements with local schools seemed to be a key element in successful applications and discussed the Library's ongoing efforts to work with the school district. Ms. Hildreth noted that while Glen Park could be competitive, the State Bond's requirement for completed planning approvals could impact project eligibility. The City Librarian then reported that Portola and Visitation Valley Prop. 14 applications would be submitted in Cycle 3 and that Bayview, North Beach and Ortega as well as several other branches might also be considered. Finally, Ms. Hildreth reported on efforts to put another $2 billion Library Construction Bond on the November 2004 Ballot noting that planning called for serious consideration for 1st priority funding by the new bond for unfunded Prop. 14 Cycle 3 applications. President Higueras joined the meeting at 4:40PM Public comment: An anonymous member of the public suggested that the Prop. 14 strategy should be placed before the Commission as an action item and addressed by the Commission. This person additionally commented on the highly competitive nature of the Prop. 14 funding process noting that the Library needed $10 in state funds to complete the Bond program. This individual cautioned against rushing into cooperative agreements with schools citing what they viewed as divergent interests. Mr. Ed Regan agreed with the previous speaker saying money with strings attached was not good and noted that cooperative agreements with schools would negatively impact senior's use of already crowded branches such as Parkside. Peter Warfield echoed previous speakers' concerns with the divergent interests of schools and libraries questioning their compatibility, and asking what the Library would give up to gain cooperation from the schools. Mr. Warfield also expressed concern with a possible loss of books from the Richmond Branch as a result of its renovation. Commission discussion: President Higueras pointed out that the Library Commission had originally requested a fully funded Bond Program, including $20 million more than was approved by the CIAC (Capital Improvement Advisory Committee), and that as a result of the Committee's decision the Library must compete for Prop. 14 funds to successfully complete the Bond Program as planned. President Higueras also strongly emphasized that cooperation with schools would organize service delivery, strengthen, and enhance branch libraries and improve services to all library users. President Higueras made it clear that the Commission viewed cooperation with schools as an opportunity to positively benefit the library system. Commissioner Bautista pointed out that schools have their own libraries and librarians and that public library cooperation with the schools would only enhance service for the entire community. Vice President Steiman recalled that it had been a longstanding wish of the Library Commission to be more involved in providing services to students and children even when there were no State funds to be gained through such cooperative efforts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #4 JOINT USE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT City Librarian Susan Hildreth described the yearlong process of negotiation with the SFUSD and school staff that resulted in the draft joint use cooperative agreement. Ms. Hildreth then presented the proposed cooperative agreement between the San Francisco Public Library and the San Francisco Unified School District for the Portola Branch Library to the Commissioners for their consideration and recommendation of approval to the Board of Supervisors (copy attached). Ms. Hildreth reported that Prop. 14 regulations required School Board and Board of Supervisors approval of such agreement. The City Librarian outlined and discussed in some detail the various elements of the proposed agreement governing and outlining the new relationships for Family Literacy Centers and Homework Help Center between the branch library and the Martin Luther King, Jr. and Taylor Schools. The City Librarian pointed out that both schools had libraries and that the agreement would only enhance library services. The City Librarian noted that the 20 year agreements did not call for any co-location of services and were designed to match criteria outlined in the Prop. 14 regulations describing such relationships. Ms. Hildreth commented that these agreements would be worthwhile even if there were no State funding involved but that the programming provided under the agreements would be contingent on the Library receiving State Library Bond funds. Ms. Hildreth then introduced Chief of Children and Youth Services Toni Bernardi who presented more details of how the proposed programs would work. Ms. Bernardi noted that the agreement would benefit children in the schools as well as neighborhood children, benefit the entire community as well as the children, not burden library staff or other users, and gain active reciprocity from schools by more active cooperation and participation by school staff. Ms. Bernardi then discussed how the new Family Literacy Center would function and benefits to the overall library programming that would result. Ms. Bernardi then discussed the Homework Center. The Chief of Children & Youth Services concluded her report by pointing out that this program responded to the American Library Association's longtime goal that every schoolchild have a library card. The City Librarian reiterated that these services would only be provided if State funding were obtained for the branch libraries. Public comment: An anonymous member of the public expressed concern that explanatory documents were not received prior to the meeting and found troubling approval of a 20 year agreement to provide services when Prop. E (Library Preservation Fund) had only 7 years remaining. Mr. Ed Regan commented that school libraries, citing Lincoln High School, were only open for limited hours and that this agreement would encourage more students to use branch libraries that were already not big enough, resulting in seniors being left out. Mr. Peter Warfield urged the Commission not take action on a 20-year agreement without having time to review the impact of any changes and increased costs. Commission discussion: Vice President Steiman noted that the Library was already doing many of the things discussed in the agreement, found the plan laudable, and should be undertaken. Commissioner Bautista corrected Mr. Regan's misapprehensions concerning school library hours and noted that many of these connections between the schools and libraries were already in place. Commissioner Bautista suggested that such agreements were long overdue, important for families, and an outstanding use of the new branch library faculties. Commissioner Coulter commended Ms. Bernardi and her staff for working to create the means to cooperate with the schools and emphasized that serving children was a very important role for the Library. In response to questions by President Higueras, Ms. Hildreth reported that there would be no cash cost, only allocation of staff and materials, and noted that these proposals largely continued existing efforts in a more organized fashion. President Higueras agreed that the agreement seemed to only make predictable what the library was already doing and inquired concerning what happened if the agreements did not work out. The City Librarian reported that she that as far as she knew, there would be no strict reviews or required reports. Ms. Hildreth suggested that the personalities at the schools and in the branches could largely determine how well these agreements functioned. Motion: Commissioner Coulter, seconded by Commissioner Steiman, that the proposed joint use cooperative agreement between the San Francisco Public Library and the San Francisco Unified School District be approved and recommended to the Board of Supervisors for its approval. Action: AYE 5-0 (Bautista, Coulter, Higueras, Steiman, and Strobin) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #5 PUBLIC COMMENT An anonymous member of the public continued a previous discussion of the Fuhrman Fund. Mr. Ed Regan suggested that Library public service hours be expanded from 6AM until Midnight 7 days per week. Carol Gee, a Parkside Branch user representing the Parkside Expansion and Renovation Committee presented the Commissioners with a petition and read a statement calling for the expansion of the Parkside Branch Library. A Parkside neighborhood parent commented on its need to expand, noting that children are the future, and that the branch library was a good safe place for children. Mr. Dan Ryan, a Parkside resident since 1969, noted that his children and grandchildren used the library. Mr. Ryan reported that the density and diversity of the growing neighborhood required that the library be expanded and indicated that the neighborhood was willing to work with the library to gain support for its expansion. Ms. Nancy Wuerfel remarked that the neighborhood had requested an expansion of the branch in September and called attention to the neighborhood's successful campaign for the Parkside Elementary School. Ms. Wuerfel urged the Commissioners to suspend plans for the branch renovation and form a task force to find the needed funds to allow for an expansion of the branch. Ms. Wuerfel, indicated that both Supervisor Ma and Assemblyman Yee were interested in and supportive of the branch expansion proposal. Mr. Peter Warfield expressed support for expansion, suggested that the Bond Program plans would reduce book collections, and suggested floor space was not the only issue. Mr. Warfield called for a reconsideration of the entire bond program and asked for an accounting of branch book collections. Ms. Louise Lee, Mercy High School student, requested a bigger Parkside Branch and could not see why this would be a problem. Ms. Annie Lee, a Parkside resident, asked that the branch be expanded, noting her school library was not open on weekends and the current branch was very crowded. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #6 ADJOURNMENT Motion: Commissioner Coulter, seconded by Commissioner Steiman that the meeting be adjourned. Action: AYE-5-0 (Bautista, Coulter, Higueras, Steiman, and Strobin) The meeting was adjourned at 6:13PM. Michael Housh, Commission Secretary 1/23/03 Please note: These are draft Minutes subject to change by the Library Commission.

Some games are all about strategy, planning and clever thinking. Others are about cunning, patience or storytelling. Some games, however, are about none of these things. Some are simply about observation and fast reflexes – and Jungle Speed is one of those games.
The basic rules of Jungle Speed are almost as simple as they come. Players take it in turns to turn over the top card of their deck. If their card design matches one already on show then a duel is triggered and those players grab for the wooden totem placed in the center of the table. The player who grabs it first gets rid of their discard pile (where cards from your deck are placed if nothing matched before play returns to you) to the loser/s. The winner is the first player to get rid of all their cards.
Of course, there is a little more to it than that. Some cards look identical at first glance but are subtly different – make a grab for the totem incorrectly and you'll be penalized with extra cards from the pot. Other cards (arrow cards) come out and change the rules: some turn the game from shape-matching to color-matching, some force all players into a duel together, and some trigger all players to reveal a new card.
Jungle Speed has been described as "the game most likely to cause physical harm" and it's easy to see why, as when cards are turned over the players instinctively grab for the totem without making any kind of judgment about the relative positions of other players' limbs. This is especially true when playing with young children or inebriated adults. If two or more players grab the totem at the same time then the winner is determined either by how many fingers a player has in contact with it – or, if this also matches, then by the player with their hand positioned lowest. Despite this rule I can imagine that in many households a totem-grabbing tie would easily result in some form of physical combat and as such I would suggest parental supervision at all times.
One of the great things about Jungle Speed is its portability. When we visit relatives these days we have to allow space in the car for a stack of board games, but Jungle Speed comes with a good quality printed canvas bag that can store all the game elements in a fraction of the space taken up by the box. The pieces are good quality too. The totem is nicely solid and made of wood with the game logo embossed on its top, and the cards are a good size – big enough for everyone to clearly see the pattern, but small enough so as not to be cumbersome. Even the rule book has some nice detail with a short section on the game's "history" as a traditional game played by the Abouloubou tribe to choose their next chief.
I'll be honest and say I didn't really enjoy playing Jungle Speed as an adults game, although this has a lot more to do with the fact that my reflexes are slower than downloading a movie on a 56k modem than with bad game design. I don't really stand a chance! My husband and I played together for this review and by the time my brain had cottoned on to the fact that my card was identical to his, he was already sitting across the table, one hand holding the totem and the other pushing a large stack of discards my way. Another strike against it for us was that both myself and my husband are quiet people with a tendency to slowly think things through; anything that involves rapid decision making and action is unlikely to be a hit with us.
All that being said, I did enjoy a version of the game that I adapted for my three-year-old, who spotted the brightly colored box and wanted to join in. The suggested age for Jungle Speed is seven plus, but by removing the arrow cards, revealing cards simultaneously on each turn and making the game purely about matching the colors, he was able to play a broadly similar version perfectly well. In fact he enjoyed the game so much he insisted on taking it to a friend's house during a playdate. Naturally, depending on your child you might need to slow down your own reaction times a little in order to give them a chance at grabbing the totem, but my son was able to win some rounds without me even trying to help, which again might say more about my slow reflexes than anything else.
Jungle Speed will definitely work best as a party game and possibly in more extroverted households. With a little work it's fun for little kids up to adult, but from what I've heard about flying totems I'd suggest removing anything fragile from the surrounding area and hiding the box if people have been drinking. Otherwise it makes a great, light-hearted addition to your games night – brilliant for when you're taking a break from complex strategizing and role-playing.
A copy of Jungle Speed was provided free for this review.

Shipping Items to Customers on Ebay/ Amazon-Resellers
- by Ty
I want to give a few tips when packing items to your customers. It may seem easy to just through an item into a poly mailer and seal it with an address label attached. But packing items to your customers is so much more. It shows your level of professionalism and knowledge as a re-seller. It doesn't matter if you sell on Ebay, Amazon, Etsy, Bonanza or etc. Your online business is a reflection on you. For fragile items like mugs and tea cups I like to use a small 8″x 8″brown box that I get from Staples. If you can get recycled materials from local stores or family members please do so. It will lower your out of pocket expenses. I also like to use the Duck Brand HD packing tape, it's durable without being sticky. And the bubble wrap I get when my son's school tosses it from when they order items. I take the mug and wrap it in the bubble wrap at least 3 times. Paying extra attention to the handle of the mug. Then I place it in the box handle side up. And fill with packing peanuts, brown craft paper , or air fill. Once the box is taped I place on the label and mark the package "Fragile".
When I ship clothing I like to use tissue paper to wrap the item in. Colorful paper is my fav, but you can use plain white. I do not do this for bulky items such as jeans or outwear. Try to make your standards stand out from other sellers to gain repeat customers and loyalty. For Lego's and small jewelry items I use clear baggies. The baggies are also recycled from my son's school or family members. For my shipping provider I mainly go with USPS (Unites States Postal Service). They seem to have the best rates for the items that I ship. It is so much fun selling items online and you want the customers to feel that same experience also. If you need more tips or have your own please comment below and share your tactics.

Department of Physics
Study in the physical sciences at the George Washington University has a long history, going back to the founding of the Columbian College in 1821. The Physics Department grew from the Department of Arts and Sciences shortly after the Columbian College moved to its present campus west of the White House in 1912. Our offices have been concentrated in Corcoran and Samson Halls since 1924, with additional research and teaching labs in various annexes, including the new facilities at the Virginia Campus. We invite you to find a place for yourself here!
Each semester, faculty members conduct classes in introductory physics and topical courses for all undergraduates; advanced physics courses for engineers and undergraduate majors; and graduate courses while we oversee programs and advise students working toward doctorates. Faculty members also conduct research in many areas including:
- Astrophysics,
- Experimental Biophysics,
- Theoretical Biophysics,
- Lattice QCD,
- Experimental Nuclear Physics,
- Theoretical Nuclear Physics,
- Nuclear Phenomenology (the SAID group),
- Physics Education Research.
Undergraduates and graduate students have an opportunity to engage in research supported on campus and at many of the nearby research centers such as the National Institutes of Standards and Technology, the Naval Research Laboratories, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Thomas Jefferson Electron Accelerator Facility. These activities carry on a long tradition of fundamental research in the department, firmly established by George Gamow, with a little help from his friend and colleague Edward Teller beginning in the mid 1930s. (Gamow is best known for developing the hot 'big-bang' model of our universe.)

Last Season: Padres finished last in the NL West, 23 games back of Arizona. If not for the Houston Astros, San Diego would have tied the Chicago Cubs for worst record in the National League. The club lost 17 of its first 27 games and never recovered.
The Rotation: The 2012 Padre rotation projects to be Tim Stauffer, Corey Luebke, Edison Volquez, Clayton Richard, and Dustin Moseley. On paper it looks like a decent rotation, but there are a lot of question marks with this group. Both Richard and Moseley are returning from season-ending injuries that required surgery. Richard is reported on-track after arthroscopic surgery to his left shoulder; his effectiveness during spring training is something to closely watch. Moseley also had surgery on his left shoulder, but at least it was his non-throwing shoulder. Moseley dislocated it twice last season while swinging the bat, so don't expect a lot of ferocious hacks from him this year. Edison Volquez, the newcomer obtained in the Mat Latos trade, had Tommy John surgery in 2009. In the three years since, he has not approached his 2008 campaign (138 ERA+). Volquez will benefit from pitching in Petco and should approach his 2008 numbers.
The stalwarts will be Stauffer and Luebke. Stauffer is expected to be the ace of the rotation, and has had flashes of brilliance during the last 2 seasons. He will have learned from the fatigue that plagued him last summer. Luebke gives the Padres 2 lefties in the rotation, and will look to build on a 2011 that saw him be the best starter (by ERA+) in the rotation. This is Luebke's breakout season; he will be very good.
Starting Pitching in the Organization: The Padres are loaded, having recently been rated the best farm system in baseball by ESPN. Both RHP Casey Kelly and LHP Robbie Erlin are legitimate ML prospects that could be in the majors in less than 2 years. San Diego has developed a habit of keeping their elite prospects in AA San Antonio rather than AAA Tucson, because there is so much offense in the PCL (lots of small ballparks at altitude). The Padres also signed journeyman Jeff Suppan to a minor league contract, giving them a veteran arm should they need a spot start – highly likely given that 40% of the projected rotation had surgery last season.
The Bullpen: San Diego signed free agent Huston Street to be the closer, replacing Heath Bell who signed with Miami. The Padre bullpen has been a strength for years but this is the biggest reconstruction effort they've undertaken since the middle of the last decade. Andrew Cashner, acquired in the Anthony Rizzo trade, projects to be the set-up man but could also move into the rotation. He hit 103.3 on the gun during his first spring training appearance. The gun was likely off a couple of MPH, but he's still throwing high 90s heat. Dependable Luke Gregerson will man the seventh inning and has the chops to pitch in the eighth (or ninth) if needed. San Diego's LOOGY will be Joe Thatcher, who has fought injuries the past 2 years but seems fully healthy now. The man to watch in this bullpen is Ernesto Frieri. Frieri has the stuff to close, but has yet to pull it all together consistently. If he can do that, the lights-out 'pen of 2010 will return this season.
The Corners: Chase Headley returns for a fifth season at third, and off the best offensive season of his career. He should reprise that production in 2012. That's the easy corner. First base is a lot more complicated. Currently San Diego has four men on the 40-man roster who can play first – Yonder Alonso, Jesus Guzman, Mark Kotsay, and Kyle Blanks. Based on his 2011 Guzman has to be the incumbent and favorite, however Alonso projects to be the long-term answer at first and Blanks' power remains alluring on a team starved for a thumper. Kotsay will spot-start throughout the year.
Up the Middle: Jason Bartlett and Orlando Hudson return for a second season by the bay. Both can't help but improve from their 2011 effort. Look for Bartlett to play better defense the first half of the season than he did last year, and Hudson to stay off the DL. Offensively Bartlett is what he is, especially in spacious Petco, but Hudson should see his batting average and on-base percentage rebound closer to his career averages.
The Outfield: The Padres signed budding star Cameron Maybin to a 5 year deal, so he will man center for the foreseeable future. Carlos Quentin, a San Diego native, signed a one-year deal with the club and will patrol LF after he returns from right knee surgery to fix a torn meniscus. Quentin's power projects well at Petco; 25 HR is not outside the realm of possibility. Will Venable will likely patrol RF this season. Venable is a plus defender athletic enough to cover Petco's spacious right field, but he is hit and miss at the plate. He seems to have connected with new hitting coach Phil Plantier, so perhaps he will finally tap all his potential.
The Backstop: Nick Hundley finally broke out during the second half of 2011 and should build on that production in 2012. If he falters the Padres are loaded behind the plate. John Baker was acquired from Miami in the off-season and will be the back-up. On the farm, Yasmani Grandal was also acquired in the Latos trade. The Cuban emigre has a major-league ready bat but needs additional seasoning defensively. He should begin the season in AAA. Top prospect Austin Hedges was the best defensive catcher available in last year's draft; although his offense needs additional seasoning and maturity, he's ready today to call games at the ML level.
The Bench: The aforementioned Kotsay brings a left-handed bat to the bench and some veteran leadership to the team. Chris Denorfia, the team's fourth outfielder, will see a lot of playing time in the lineup via the spot start and late inning defensive replacement, and is also a dependable right-handed bat off the bench. Back-up infielders are still being figured out. It is likely from a pool including Andy Parrino, James Darnell, and Everth Cabrera. Logan Forsythe was in the mix until breaking his foot early in spring training.
The Minors: Suppan will make at least 2 starts for the Padres. Third Baseman Jedd Gyorko is a highly touted prospect who is almost ready. Should the projected bench players falter Gyorko could spend a lot of time with the big club. He will eventually replace Headley at third.
Team MVP: Quentin
Team Ace: Luebke
Team's 2012 record: 75-87
Team's 2012 finish in the division: fifth.
Quentin is known for his work ethic. That, coupled with his pull-power to left, the most neutral of the fields for hitters at Petco, means he should put up the numbers he is accustomed to. Quentin's presence in the lineup alone should help the Padres win 4 more games than last season. Tim Stauffer is currently the team's ace, but Luebke showed flashes of Mat Latos-like brilliance during 2011. He breaks out and becomes a house-hold name this season. Heck even if he just repeats the numbers he put up last year he's the best pitcher on the staff.
The NL West is an interesting division. San Francisco is a year removed from being World Champs, and Arizona went from worst to first in 2011. The Dodgers, under stable leadership, should compete with those two teams, and Colorado should be better than last year. The Padres will improve but will once again inhabit the basement of this division. Challenging for the division title is still 2 years away.

Chicago Fire assistant coach C.J. Brown knows a little bit about competition at the center back spot.
During the tail end of the his run as the Fire's all-time leader in minutes and games played, the club brought in central defenders Bakary Soumare and Wilman Conde, each of whom have been named to the MLS Best XI since then, to compete with him.
Now, Brown and the Fire are trying to bring that same type of competition back to Chicago.
After Soumare (pictured) and Austin Berry started in the middle of the Fire back line for a large part of 2013, relatively unopposed, competition for the spot in 2014 has been heightened considerably after the club acquired two experienced center backs in Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and Patrick Ianni from Seattle.
"I think all you need is competition," Brown said before the preseason. "For the past few years, or last year at least, that back line didn't have competition. It was just that back line. Now, we brought in competition, so I think everybody's going to be raining hard every week, putting in the work that's necessary for the weekend. It's going to be a very hard decision for us to put a starting four on the backline."
During the first few preseason games, Soumare and Hurtado have started at center back, with Berry and Ianni playing in the second half. But head coach Frank Yallop said Ianni and Berry, who was out for most of the offseason after having shoulder surgery, aren't far behind.
"You never say exactly what you're going to do, but it feels like they will be a good pairing in our defense," Yallop said. "But again, things happen in preseason, there's injuries, there's lack of form, all of that. I would think [Hurtado and Soumare] would be starting the season together, and that's not to say Patrick and Austin aren't right there, knocking on the door. We have four very good center backs."

Hurtado, Soumare and Berry, who is six games away from breaking the MLS record for consecutives games played, all welcomed the competition early in preseason.
"It's good, having competition is good," Soumare said. "You don't get in a comfort zone, you always have to watch your back. It's also good when you're playing Open Cup and league games. Sometimes during the season you have three games in a row, and that's when you need the depth."
Brown said that when he was a player, he loved the competition, and it helped him thrive.
He hopes the new additions at center back play the same role.
"I felt like every year, they always tried to bring a center back in to take my spot, to push me," Brown said. "I think that's what we're trying to build."

How do you get your motor running for a big golf tournament? Well, this week some PGA Tour players did it by, literally, getting their motors running.
On Tuesday, Ian Poulter – well known as one of golf's greatest motorheads – hosted several of his colleagues at the Palm Beach International Raceway. At the small track near West Palm Beach, Poulter arranged for Ferrari USA to provide a stable of ''prancing horses'' for the players to test out.
Among the players who joined Poulter were Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose, Nicolas Colsaerts and Stuart Appleby.
Track officials didn't keep lap times for fear of stirring up the players' competitive juices – after all, the point was to have fun, not crumple a $400,000 machine up into a steaming wad of leather and carbon fiber. But word from the pit lane was that Poulter and Fowler were at the head of the pack.
That's no surprise, considering that Poulter is well known as an owner of multiple Ferraris (which he stores in his lavish new home in Orlando), and Fowler loves to put the pedal to the metal in his own collection of fast cars, some of which he runs at the Palm Beach speedway when he's not playing golf. Poulter even got one of his own cars, a spectacular Enzo Ferrari, out on the track for a few laps.
On Twitter, Poulter called the day ''Ferrari heaven'' and, judging by the photo posted above, taken by Stuart Appleby, shows how accurate that description is.

The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Tuesday that they have agreed to terms on a trade with the Houston Texans, giving up a fourth-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft for linebacker DeMeco Ryans.
The teams will also exchange third-round picks as part of the deal, with the Texans getting the 77th overall choice and the Eagles getting No. 89.
Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer had reported the pending trade earlier in the day. According to the Houston Chronicle, the deal depends on Ryans being able to pass a physical on Wednesday.
"DeMeco is a proven Pro Bowl linebacker in this league and we're excited to be able to plug him into the middle of our defense," Eagles coach Andy Reid said in a news release announcing the deal. "He's been the signal-caller and a leader on a very good Texans defense for the last several years. He's a tough, instinctive football player and he'll be a great fit for our team."
The team said Ryans will be introduced at a news conference at 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
Ryans, who will turn 28 before next season, was with the Texans for six seasons, making the Pro Bowl in 2007 and 2009. He has 636 tackles and 8.5 sacks since being drafted in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft.
Texans defensive ends Antonio Smith and J.J. Watt were on NFL Network's "Total Access" on Tuesday when news of the deal broke.
"I think that our defense is going to miss him," Smith added.
Watt echoed Smith's sentiment.
"I mean, DeMeco, far and away, is the most respected guy on our defense," Watt said. "So it's tough to see him go."
Texans general manager Rick Smith praised Ryans in a statement released Tuesday: "DeMeco Ryans contributed significantly toward helping us build the foundation we hope will bring a world championship to the city of Houston. His professionalism and leadership cannot be over-exaggerated. ... We appreciate all the hard work and effort DeMeco invested in our organization and wish him only the best moving forward. He is a class act."

FAIRFIELD, CT - Sacred Heart seniors Joseph Serrantino (Cromwell, CT) and Carly Bergin (Binghamton, NY) were named the Northeast Conference Golfers of the Month for October. Serrantino follows teammate Joshua Salah (Gloucester, MA) who won the award for the month of September.
Serrantino nabs NEC Golfer of the Month honors after notching a pair of top-10 finishes in the month of October. The senior finished fourth at the Connecticut Cup shooting an overall 217 in the three round event. Serrantino inked rounds of 70 and 72 followed by a 75 in the third round to help the Pioneers to a first place team finish. The Connecticut native also played well at the Yale MacDonald Cup carding a 71 on the first day of play. Although scheduled to play two rounds on Saturday, the event was shortened due to rain. Despite the wet weather Serrantino shot a 63 in the 18-hole round and finished a 4-over for the weekend to place 16th out of 74 competitors.
Bergin picks up NEC Golfer of the Month honors after an October filled with individual and team championships. The senior's 36-hole score of 148 at the ECAC Championship earned her a first place finish and the individual championship trophy. Bergin posted a 76 on the first day of competition, then took four-strokes off that score to card a 72, the low round of the day, to take home the individual trophy and help the Pioneers to a second place team finish. Later in the month the New York native carded a 167 (82-85) at the Sacred Heart Fall Classic to tie teammate Jennifer Clinton for ninth, helping the Pioneers to a first place overall finish.

New tool helps programs understand how they affect the prosecution of sexual assault cases in their communities.
Victims of sexual assault may suffer physical, emotional and psychological trauma as a result of their victimization. Providing them with sensitive health care in the aftermath of their assault is paramount.
Unfortunately, all too often, victims must wait long hours in busy emergency departments. They are not allowed to eat, drink or even go to the bathroom while they wait for a medical exam. And frequently, the physicians or nurses who perform the exams lack training and proficiency in medical evidence collection procedures.
To help improve post-assault care for victims, communities around the country have implemented Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) programs, which offer a multidisciplinary, victim-centered response. Through these programs, specially trained nurses provide crisis intervention and emotional support, health care, injury detection and treatment, and forensic medical evidence collection in hospital emergency departments or community-based clinics. More than 600 SANE programs now exist throughout the United States and Canada.
SANE programs not only provide sensitive care and support to victims — research suggests that these programs also may have a positive impact on prosecution rates in their communities. For example, two NIJ-funded studies found that communities' prosecution rates increased significantly after the communities implemented SANE programs.[1]
As promising as these findings may be, they should be interpreted with caution, because only a handful of the 600 SANE programs have been rigorously evaluated. We know little about the majority of SANE programs and their impact on local criminal justice systems. There is a pressing need for ongoing evaluation to determine if and under what circumstances SANE programs can positively affect criminal justice case outcomes.
To fill this need, Rebecca Campbell and her colleagues at Michigan State University received a competitive grant from NIJ to develop a toolkit that SANE program staff can use to evaluate how their program affects the prosecution of sexual assault cases in their community. The user-friendly toolkit walks practitioners through a six-step evaluative process. It also offers ideas for using the findings to improve practice and enhance a program's positive impact on the reporting, investigation and prosecution of sexual assault cases.
"Programs might be hesitant to take on an evaluation because they're worried it will be too hard, too complicated, too much time away from patients," Campbell said. "The toolkit streamlines the steps of evaluation into an easy-to-follow process. We designed it specifically for busy practitioners."
She added, "Evaluating the work of SANE programs — or any innovative program for victims of crime — is so important because it helps front-line practitioners know what's really happening in their communities. What's going well? What are our areas for improvement? What resources do we need to be successful? Evaluation is critical for funders and policymakers, too, as it identifies promising new programs and practices that merit further study and investment."
When planning an evaluation, a SANE program must make several important decisions, including what information to collect and from whom, how many times, and when and how to collect it.
The program also must decide what its overall evaluation will look like. The toolkit presents three evaluation designs:
"It's important that practitioners choose the right design for their program," Campbell explained. "The toolkit walks you through the pros and cons of each design. For some programs, a pre-post design just isn't feasible — maybe it's more useful to find out what's happening right now. The toolkit offers a variety of design options so programs can select the best design for their needs."

Once a program chooses a design, it is ready to get started. The toolkit provides a detailed how-to for the six basic steps of evaluating criminal justice outcomes for each of the three designs (see Figure 1).
Getting to the results is not the final goal of an evaluation — it is the first step in better understanding a program and its relation to prosecutor outcomes. Programs will need to think about how to
use these results.
Rebecca Campbell and her colleagues piloted the SANE program evaluation toolkit at six sites across the United States. The sites included community-based and hospital-based SANE programs in both urban and rural areas. The researchers found that as an intervention model, SANE programs are effective in increasing prosecution rates. However, the researchers note, work remains to be done, because the vast majority of reported sexual assaults are not prosecuted.
Read more about the pilot project (pdf, 145 pages).
The toolkit helps programs frame their thinking with three questions:
The toolkit offers some strategies for doing so. For example, it outlines a process that programs can use to develop a plan for change if they discover they are not having a positive impact on legal case outcomes. And for communities that do find evidence of a positive impact, the toolkit recommends strategies for strengthening and institutionalizing core practices.
"The whole point of evaluation is utilization — using the findings to create change, improve the program and help plan new initiatives," Campbell noted.
She added, "Six SANE programs worked with us in the toolkit project, and they all used their findings to create positive changes in their communities. Some were able to leverage new funding; some established a new sexual assault response team. The evaluation helped them set goals and create concrete action plans for improvement."

Dogs have been killing a good many sheep hereabouts, lately.
The electric lights were "out" last evening owing to breakage in the machinery and some of the merchants were compelled to rustle around for lamps. The streets looked dark, too.
Yesterday and before were quite cold and today the streets are full of teams, as if all the farmers had come to town to take in supplies for Christmas.
An effort is being made to organize a dancing club in this city and secure Prof. Tappen for an instructor.

While the concept of geometric, mathematical shapes often comes to mind when thinking about modern or abstract art, other approaches are also fulfilling. Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky is sometimes credited with being one of the earlier artists to paint an abstract picture, and yet, like Spanish surrealist Joan Miro, his images are at once complex, with curved lines a heavy dose of movement. Today, reproductions of some of Kandinsky's work can even be found in the IKEA catalogue. And Miro's work is forever imprinted on the minds of jazz fans and lovers of modernism for its appearance on the album covers of pianist Dave Brubeck ("Time Out"; "Time Further Out"). In fact, according to Brubeck, the music contained in "Time Further Out" was inspired by Miro's work.
Piet Mondrian and Mark Rothko are two other geometrically focused artists whose works are prized today for their simplicity in line, space, and color. Mondrian (Dutch, 1872-1944) is considered one of the pioneers of abstract art. He named his style Neoplasticism and described it as a style based on the absolute harmony of straight lines and pure colors. His most famous and characteristic works are known as the Transatlantic Paintings, which are unmistakable in their minimalist expression on white canvas—primary colors (blue, red, and yellow) and perpendicular lines. Rothko's work is geometric and understated, but in a different way than Mondrian's. For Rothko, it is about the simplest of all concepts: simple and understated rectangles of colors on canvas. One could do no better than Rothko, if you are thinking about using a grouping of smaller pieces from the same artist.
Different approaches to wall art would include modern-inspired weavings and tapestries, or even sculptures of metal, glass, or wood. "Weaving is a structure," says Kahn. "Strong contemporary weaving emphasizes the structure—and strong, contemporary architecture emphasizes the structure."
There are other objects that function well as art. For example, glass pieces made by the Murano factory in Italy are fabulous in Eichler homes, especially if they can be positioned next to a pane of frosted glass and affected by the light of dawn and dusk. A Murano can make a strong color and design statement. Still in production today, real Muranos may cost several hundred dollars, but some pieces—including copies—are quite affordable. Stores such as Crate and Barrel carry some lovely Murano-inspired glass pieces.
Architectural pottery is another art element that is harmonious with the Eichler design and provides a three-dimensional approach to art. Stark and often created in either pure black or white, with a matte finish, these pieces can be larger in scale than the typical vase or planter. As such, they work well on the floor in front of a fireplace, or in the entryway. Nagwani chose to display her Malcom Leland architectural pottery in a custom-built fountain located in her atrium. For choice examples of architectural pottery, see www.architecturalpottery.com
For some, the search for just the right art can be time consuming and complex, but it need not be. Some experts suggest that one begin by becoming familiar with the works of Bay Area artists from the 1950s and '60s. Two prominent books currently in print come highly recommended: "The San Francisco School of Abstract Expressionism" by Susan Landauer, and "Art in the SFO Bay Area, 1945-1980: An Illustrated History" by Thomas Albright. Whether or not your taste coincides with abstract art, the diversity of approach represented in these two books is quite dramatic. At a minimum, they can serve as guideposts, and better yet, inspiration for your own selection choices. Design magazines such as Dwell and Urban Living are other excellent sources for inspiration, especially since they routinely showcase entire rooms and houses dedicated to modernist design.
Another important consideration is color selection. Artist and Granada Hills Eichler owner Mary-Margaret Stratton suggests that if you are lucky enough to have your original Philippine mahogany paneling, begin with earth tones, which coordinate so beautifully with the wood. "If you put art on the wall that is harmonious with the paneling, you have a house that is linked," says Stratton. She also likes complementary colors. "I use a lot of oranges and rust. Some yellows. And I prefer warm undertones as opposed to cool undertones. I find that cool colors, such as ones with violet or burgundy undertones, are not as appropriate as the warm undertones." As Kahn puts it, "Color is a great source of expression that has been twisted and perverted into merely being decorative. I think that color speaks to content. And it matters as a fundamental component in expressive works."

MA Degree Requirements
The Master of Arts in Political Science is a 30 hour degree program. The coursework for the program involves 15 hours of core courses and 15 hours of courses in the student's area of concentration.
The five core courses include an introduction to the research methods typically used by political scientists and four seminars exposing students to the subfields of political science offered in our department. These subfields include American government and politics, international relations, comparative politics and political thought.
Students are required to develop a concentration in one of the four subfields we offer. Typically four of the five courses beyond the core will deal with the student's area of concentration.
Finally, students are required to complete a substantial research writing project. There are three options for fulfilling this requirement including a thesis, a report, or advanced seminar papers.
