II. Privacy Policy
Respecting the privacy of the visitors using our Sites and those who provide data to EMKS in furtherance of our programs is a major priority for EMKS. The following statements will help you understand how EMKS collects, uses and safeguards the personal information you provide to us on our Sites.
Please note that this policy applies only to EMKS's Sites and not to any other organizations' Web sites to which we link. Remember that when you use a link to go from an EMKS Site to another Web site, EMKS's Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including Web sites EMKS links to, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please read those rules and policies before proceeding. EMKS does not make any representations about the practices and policies of any organization or Web site we link to and disclaims any liability or responsibility for such other Web site's content, rules, policies or otherwise.
Types of information we collect
The types of information that may be collected on any of EMKS's Sites include: (1) personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis ("voluntary registration"), (2) Site use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our sites, and (3) Site usage information tied to your personal information.
Voluntary Registration
Visitors to any of EMKS's Sites may knowingly choose to enter their personal information on the Site, for example in connection with creating an account, completing forms or information online to be considered for enrollment with EMKS, applying for a position of employment or notification or when positions of employment are open, communicating with EMKS or its personnel, or otherwise using the functionality that is offered by a Site. When registering, applying or otherwise providing information, visitors may be asked to provide their name, email address, telephone number, work address and other pertinent information.

As is true of most Web sites, our Sites gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, on-site bookmarks, on-site subscriptions, clickstream data and site navigation history. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather information about our user base as a whole. EMKS may collect this non-personal information even if you are not registered on any of the Sites.
We may also link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information. This information is tied to personally identifiable information to provide you with feedback about your experiences on the Sites and to provide you with information that you may find interesting or informative. EMKS may also link this information to a particular individual or combine it with personal information if EMKS has determined that it needs to identify a user because of safety or security issues or to comply with legal requirements. We do not share this automatically-collected data with third parties except those that provide direct services to us to facilitate the upkeep of and services provided thorough the Sites.
To enable us to offer you the best possible experience when you visit EMKS's Sites and to offer continually updated information, we assign you a unique identification number stored in a file on your computer called a "cookie." Cookies by themselves cannot be used to find out the identity of any user. This unique identification number automatically identifies your browser - but not you - to our computers whenever you interact and browse an EMKS Site.
The cookies automatically gather certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to EMKS's Sites and areas visited on the Sites. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our customers use parts of our Sites, so we can improve our Sites to ensure that they are appealing to as many people possible.
E-mail Tracking
When you sign up to receive information or mailings from EMKS Sites, we use clear gifs, web beacons or other such e-mail tracking devices to measure the activity of the e-mail, including your clicking on a link within an e-mail and your forwarding of the e-mail. This information is tied to your e-mail address when stored.
Information Use, Sharing and Disclosure
EMKS may use the information described above including any of your personal information collected by EMKS for (1) its internal purposes, including to contact you about the Sites , (2) to facilitate the activity for which you submitted the information (for example- enrollment at a school or application for employment) (3) to contact you about EMKS's programs (4) for other purposes you opt in to accept, and (5) for research purposes, provided any research results will be published in an anonymous form.
EMKS does not rent or sell any personal information about individual users to third parties for marketing or any other purposes. EMKS may disclose your personal information to third parties to operate the Sites, facilitate the activity for which you submitted the information (for example- enrollment at a school or application for employment), or to perform research, subject to the restrictions of this Privacy Policy. EMKS may also disclose your information to third parties in aggregated, anonymous form, including disclosing it to third parties for research purposes so long as such third parties agree to honor the confidentiality of the information and the research is conducted in furtherance of EMKS's charitable purposes.
In addition, EMKS may provide your information to the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and its affiliated entities, each of which is a 501(c)(3) charitable enterprise, which will use the information only as EMKS is permitted to use it under the terms of this Privacy Policy, including agreeing not to sell any information for marketing or any other purposes.
We occasionally hire other companies and individuals to provide services on our behalf, including packaging and mailing, answering customer questions about products or services, sending and tracking postal mail or email, processing data, facilitating employment decisions, processing enrollment applications and conducting research. We will only provide those companies and individuals the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
The information you provide to EMKS is also used to better understand the content needs of registrants to our Sites and participants in EMKS programs. Our goal in collecting personal information and monitoring visitor traffic patterns through use of cookies, log files, and e-mail tracking is to provide you with the best available Site experience.
EMKS reserves the right to disclose your personally identifiable information to respond to a subpoena, court order or other legal process, to defend EMKS against legal claims, or if EMKS determines it is necessary to investigate or take action in connection with activities that EMKS suspects are illegal, threaten the safety of any person or are in violation of these Terms.
Credit Card Information
If you choose to purchase products or pay for event registrations on EMKS's Sites, you may need to provide personal information and authorization for us to obtain information from various credit services. For example, in addition to the information above, you may need to provide a mailing address, billing address, credit card number and telephone number.
When credit card or other personal information is provided through any of EMKS's Sites, this will be accomplished by establishing a "secure session" using Secure Socket Layer (SSL), or Secure Electronics Transaction (SET) protocols. These protocols encrypt all information before it is sent. The information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches our Sites.
Other email communications may not be secure unless you are advised that security measures will be in place prior to you transmitting the information. For this reason, you should not send confidential information, such as Social Security number, through an unsecured email.
Your Consent
By using our Sites, you consent to the collection and use of information by EMKS as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

VI. Dispute Resolution
Governing Law
These Terms and the resolution of any dispute related to these Terms or the Sites shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the laws of the State of Missouri applicable to contracts executed and performed within Missouri, without giving any effect to any conflict of laws rules that may result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Daniel Garber will give the annual Roy Wood Sellars Lecture Thursday, March 4, at 7:30 p.m. in the Forum of the Elaine Langone Center at Bucknell.
The lecture, "Ghosts: Some Philosophical Reflections on Things that go Bump in the Night," is free to the public.
Professor of philosophy at Princeton University, Garber also an associate member of the program in history of science. He holds his doctorate from Harvard.
His principal interests are the relations between philosophy, science and society in the period of the Scientific Revolution.
The author of Descartes' Metaphysical Physics (1992) and Descartes Embodied (2001), he is co-editor with Michael Ayers of the Cambridge History of Seventeenth-Century Philosophy (1998) and co-editor with Steven Nadler of the Oxford Studies in Early Modern Philosophy.
He is working on two books: How Aristotle Was Refuted: The Pre-History of the Mechanical Philosophy discusses the rise of a new theory of nature in the 17th century, revolving around a small cast of intellectual characters in Paris from 1620 to 1650; and Leibniz: Substance, Body, and Force investigates a now-forgotten alternative pathway in the history of physics by looking at the 17th-century philosopher's views of the physical world.
The Roy Wood Sellars Lectureship was established in 1971 to celebrate both Roy Wood Sellars and W. Preston Warren.
For many years chair of the philosophy department at Bucknell, Warren was the author or editor of a number of papers and books on Sellars' philosophy. The first Sellars Lecture was given by Preston Warren, and the second by Wilfrid Sellars (with his father in attendance).
Professor emeritus at the University of Michigan, Sellars was instrumental in founding the Realist Movement in American philosophy.

Starbucks seem to be on every corner already, but apparently there's room for more!
The popular coffee chain plans to open 3,000 more stores in the next five years, with at least half of them in the U-S.
As of October of last year, Starbucks reported nearly 11,000 locations in the US and another 6,000 around the world!
China plays a big role in Starbucks' expansion plans. The coffee chain hopes to have 1,500 stores in China by 2015.

Medical Education Coordinator 1 - Psychiatry Fellowship Programs

Training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry emphasizes the importance of the biologic, psychologic, and sociocultural impact of life experiences during development of the individual. The rich interplay of culture, family, educational and social experiences, interpersonal and personal assets, genetics and biological development lays the foundation and framework for the emerging person. Recognition of the neurologic impact of learning (neurochemical and structural), and of the variability of that influence in different developmental phases and cultural contexts allows for a more comprehensive understanding of psychiatric illness. Recent rapid progress in the neurosciences and decades of progress in Psychology has produced effective treatments to impact on mental illness and psychological distress when they impinge on the lives of children and adolescents. Progress in the field of adult learning, and leadership in the ACGME, have contributed to our detailed and progressive curriculum and excellent training.
Our two-year fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), carefully integrates learning in clinical and didactic settings to promote exceptional training. There are four residents in each of the two years of training. Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, our main teaching hospital, was again rated in the top 10 best children's hospitals by Child Magazine. It is one of the busiest children's hospitals in the country and treats patients from all over the Midwest and beyond. The chief editors of the two main pediatric textbooks, Nelson's and Rudolph's are on the faculty at the Medical College and Children's Hospital. There are nationally recognized programs in epileptology, hematology and oncology, gastroenterology, feeding problems, and surgical correction of congenital heart defects. This is combined with our many affiliate sites that provide a broad range of clinical experience and learning Child Fellowship Rotations.

Hello Maangchi, I'm so happy to have found your site. I have been wanting to learn how to cook Korean dishes for a very long time but always found it hard because I never knew what ingredients to buy. I love to cook. My husband was adopted here in Canada when he was two years old by a Canadian family. He never knew his family in Korea. He always wanted to find them but it was very difficult. Just when he was about to give up, we got a phone call from a social worker in Korea who told us that they had found his mother. It was the happiest day of my husbands life except of course for the birth of our children and the day he met me!!Hee Hee.
A month after we found his mother, we bought four tickets to Korea and went to see them. It was an incredible experience not to mention very emotional.We had an awesome time with our new found family. Enjoyed the food, the people and culture. This Sunday I'm planning to cook a feast of Korean dishes for friends and family. Can't wait!!

Today's guest blogger is Danielle Evans. Like me, Danielle is a member of Grace Fellowship Church. Unlike me, Danielle is a graduate of Southern Seminary. When I asked if she would like to contribute a guest post, she decided to talk to Dr. Russell Moore to ask him a few questions about adoption. (You may also like to read my review of his book, Adopted for Life)
Dr. Russell Moore, author of Adopted For Life, shows why Christians are exhorted to take care of orphans and widows. He has first hand experience with adoption, as he has adopted two of his sons, Benjamin and Timothy. I had the opportunity to ask Dr. Moore a few questions regarding this important subject.
1.) Please share a little about your experience with adoption and how you and Maria decided to adopt.

A number of people I know as well as myself like MEDIASET which is an Italian Channel. Yet, FIOS only has RAI which is the most stale channel known to man. MEDIASET will appeal to many more of your Italian American customers, especially in the 18-49 group.
Can you please add it to your lineup?
Thank You.
Please add the Mediaset channel.Thank you
Please add mediaset italia. its an italian channel that has been in the states in the past year. Comcast and dish network have it. i really like fios but i love that channel more and i might have to switch with them if you dont have it by september. You are so advanced how come you cannot get it?
thank you!
I would like to have mediaset Italia added to my verizon fios bundle. Unfortunately this is not possible today. However it's always possible to switch to cable and watch it there.... Please look into that channel because a lot of people will switch just because of that...
You have 200 channels in spanish and just 1 in italian... WOW...
Please add Mediaset Italia! I've been waiting for a long time!
We are now considering to switch to cable. That is a must have channel for an italan!
We may have to go back to Dish Network to get Mediaset. What's it going to take for Verizon to get it? Any updates from the original post from April? Thank you.
I just found out that Mediaset is available in Nj but not with Verizon Fios. Please add this channel, there would be tremendous interest.
Is it possible to get an update on whether Verizon Fios plans on adding Mediaset Italia to the channel lineup? It has been over 2 years since the original post was submitted and acknowledged by Verizon yet no updates. I have called numerous times to get an update and yet no one can provide any answers. Will someone at Verizon please provide an update as to what the status is regarding the additions of new international content particularly new Italian channels and Mediaset Italia? Would it be possible to get an estimated time frame for additions? Thank you.

Welcome to NEC FUTURE, a comprehensive planning effort to define, evaluate and prioritize future investments in the Northeast Corridor (NEC), launched by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) in February 2012. FRA's work will include new ideas and approaches to grow the region's intercity, commuter and freight rail services and the completion of an environmental evaluation of proposed transportation alternatives.
The NEC, the rail transportation spine of the Northeast region, is a key component of the region's transportation system and vital to its sustained economic growth. Today, the 457-mile NEC—anchored by Boston's South Station in the north, New York's Pennsylvania Station in the center, and Washington's Union Station in the south—is one of the most heavily traveled rail corridors in the world.
CEQ Pilot Documents Posted
Did you know that NEC FUTURE is part of a federal initiative to improve the environmental decision-making process? Earlier this year, the FRA and the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) successfully completed a unique year-long pilot project designed to promote early environmental collaboration for efficient environmental decision-making. The CEQ Pilot was designed to help avoid the conflicts and delays often found in multi-state transportation projects, while still maintaining rigorous environmental protections. The pilot has provided the CEQ with insight into best practices for environmental collaboration during a complex, multi-state planning process. A memorandum summarizing best practices has been posted on the website. One of the practices identified was the development of a Statement of Principles to guide future environmental consultation for NEC FUTURE. Eight federal agencies have concurred with the Statement of Principles, which is now available on the website. View more information on the CEQ Pilot.
Preliminary Alternatives Report Now Available
The NEC FUTURE Preliminary Alternatives Report is now available on the NEC FUTURE website. The report presents the process used to develop 15 Preliminary Alternatives that represent a wide range of possible futures for the NEC. The Preliminary Alternatives are study concepts that will be tested and refined to form a smaller set of Reasonable Alternatives for detailed evaluation.
The Preliminary Alternatives are organized within four different program levels, each of which presents a different vision for the NEC. The levels vary from modest capital investment and service options to dedicated High Speed Rail and robust regional service. At each level the alternatives present different service options, including new types of service to increase frequency, minimize travel time, or increase the number of "one-seat rides" available on the system, as well as providing improved connections to off-corridor markets.
All 15 Preliminary Alternatives include improvements to the existing NEC spine. Several of the alternatives include concepts for new routes with off-corridor segments. These are representative routes intended for further study and refinement.
The FRA welcomes your involvement in the NEC FUTURE planning process. If, after reviewing the Preliminary Alternatives Report you have questions or wish to make a comment, please submit your question or comment via the comment form or firstname.lastname@example.com .
We hope you will return to this site often to learn more about NEC FUTURE progress and future public involvement opportunities.

Essential Info
Reinventing the Automobile
This book provides a long-overdue vision for a new automobile era. The cars we drive today follow the same underlying design principles as the Model Ts of a hundred years ago and the tail-finned sedans of fifty years ago. In the twenty-first century, cars are still made for twentieth-century purposes. They're well suited for conveying multiple passengers over long distances at high speeds, but inefficient for providing personal mobility within cities—where most of the world's people now live. In this pathbreaking book, William Mitchell and two industry experts reimagine the automobile, describing vehicles of the near future that are green, smart, connected, and fun to drive. They roll out four big ideas that will make this both feasible and timely.
First, we must transform the DNA of the automobile, basing it on electric-drive and wireless communication rather than on petroleum, the internal combustion engine, and stand-alone operation. This allows vehicles to become lighter, cleaner, and "smart" enough to avoid crashes and traffic jams. Second, automobiles need to be linked by a Mobility Internet that allows them to collect and share data on traffic conditions, intelligently coordinates their movements, and keeps drivers connected to their social networks. Third, automobiles must be recharged through a convenient, cost-effective infrastructure that is integrated with smart electric grids and makes increasing use of renewable energy sources. Finally, dynamically priced markets for electricity, road space, parking space, and shared-use vehicles must be introduced to provide optimum management of urban mobility and energy systems.
The fundamental reinvention of the automobile won't be easy, but it is an urgent necessity—to make urban mobility more convenient and sustainable, to make cities more livable, and to help bring the automobile industry out of crisis.
Four Big Ideas That Could Transform the Automobile:
- Base the underlying design principles on electric-drive and wireless communications rather than the internal combustion engine and stand-alone operation
- Develop the Mobility Internet for sharing traffic and travel data
- Integrate electric-drive vehicles with smart electric grids that use clean, renewable energy sources
- Establish dynamically priced markets for electricity, road space, parking space, and shared-use vehicles
About the Authors
William J. Mitchell was the Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr., Professor of Architecture and Media Arts and Sciences and directed the Smart Cities research group at MIT's Media Lab. He authored many books, including The World's Greatest Architect (2008) and Placing Words: Symbols, Space, and the City (2005), both published by the MIT Press.
Christopher Borroni-Bird is GM's Director of Advanced Technology Vehicle Concepts. His innovative projects at GM include the AUTOnomy, Hy-wire, and Sequel concepts and the current Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility (P.U.M.A.) initiative. He was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame as a Young Leader in 2000.
Lawrence D. Burns advises companies, governments, and universities on transportation, energy, and communications systems and technology. As Vice President of Research and Development at General Motors from 1998 to 2009, he was a major global voice for the reinvention of the automobile and the diversification of transportation energy, overseeing a series of innovative concept vehicles.
"The content is intelligent, well laid out, entertaining, understandable, and approachable...Often, works about the future of the automobile industry are just tools to express idealistic beliefs or anti-industry sentiments. This book is refreshing because the authors understand the whole package in terms of current problems, and their solutions, and succinctly present a glimpse of a future (and a present) that people can feel good about." — C.J. Myers, Choice
"We are at the threshold of a new era of urban transport. Reinventing the Automobile offers a breathtaking vista of the opportunities ahead. Mitchell, Borroni-Bird, and Burns combine their great engineering expertise, design skills, and practical experience to create a dazzling vision of a new urban transport system to support healthy, productive, safe, and environmentally sustainable cities in the 21st century. The book is consistently exciting, a wonderful chance to peer over the shoulders of masters as they sort through the complex terrain of energy systems, urban lifestyles, digital connectivity, and cutting-edge automotive engineering. This book will fascinate and inspire not only specialists in transport and engineering, but everybody interested in the new age of sustainable development."
Jeffrey D. Sachs, Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, Special Advisor to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon
"Mitchell, Borroni-Bird, and Burns have created a blueprint for sustainable urban mobility. Reinventing the Automobile will fundamentally change the way we approach transportation design. Every car company should take note: evolve or face increasing irrelevance."
David Kelley, Founder & Chairman, IDEO, and Professor, Stanford University
"Our American auto industry is at a perilous crossroadsit can adhere to the 'old ways' and perish or it can leapfrog the competition, reinvent itself, and lead the automotive world into 21st century. Many of the ideas set forth in this book just might serve as a blueprint for this much-needed and important change of direction. Who better to lead the way than our geek brethren from MIT?"
Tom and Ray Magliozzi, aka "Click and Clack," Hosts of Car Talk
"It isn't technological barriers so much as closed minds that are holding back the necessary evolution of the automobile; using calm and devastatingly inarguable logic, this is a virtual step-by-step manual that deploys an original idea on every page to show exactly how it can and should be achieved. If you care about cars, read this book: it opens your mind and lets the future in."
Bruce McCall, The New Yorker
"Finally, a book that addresses the problems of carbon emissions, sustainability, transportation, city planning, and traffic, by authors who understand what the automobile industry does notthat these issues are all interconnected and part of the same picture. This book has a great deal to offer to anyone who is interested in the green movement in architecture, in city planning, in traffic problems, in pollution, and in the challenge of making our planet more humane."
Frank Gehry
"In this book, William Mitchell, perhaps the greatest urban theorist and designer of the Information Age, provides a concrete alternative to the unsustainable model of urban transportation based on the traditional automobile, and paves the way for the transformation of the automobile industry as a whole. In this time of crisis Reinventing the Automobile is mandatory reading, besides researchers and students, for planners, industrialists, and governments searching for a way out for the car of the industrial era."
Manuel Castells, Professor Emeritus of City Planning, University of California, Berkeley

The Delivery Person: Who's Right for You?
Not only do you need to choose where you'll deliver your child, but just as importantly you must also decide who will be there to assist you. Yes, it is lovely to labor and deliver in the same room. And who can begrudge a laboring mom a room with fresh flowers, pretty wallpaper and original, signed etchings. But . . . none of this matters if you don't have a supportive team to help you through the birthing process. Here are your options: an obstetrician, a midwife, and/or a doula.
An obstetrician is a medical doctor who specializes in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. He or she is trained in all aspects of prenatal care and knows just what to do in case of a non-standard delivery.
Obstetricians almost exclusively deliver in traditional hospitals, so you need to be comfortable not only with the obstetrician you choose, but also with the hospital where she or he has admitting privileges.
If you have a high-risk pregnancy, an obstetrician is likely the correct choice for you.
There are a number of ways to find an obstetrician. For starters, ask your general physician and friends and family for recommendations. Keep these questions in mind as you begin to narrow your list of candidates:
- What is his or her rate of C-section?
- What is the policy on pain-relief medication?
- In what hospital will the delivery take place?
- How does he or she feel about having a doula or midwife in attendance?
- What is the rate of successful delivery?
For all your efforts to find an obstetrician who is the perfect match for you, there is always the possibility that it will not be the same one who delivers your baby. Many obstetricians are part of a group practice, with rotating on-call schedules. So plan on scheduling at least one prenatal appointment with each of the other members of the practice.

Autism Spectrum Disorders Health Center
Autism Sign May Appear in First Months of Life
By Serena Gordon
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 6 (HealthDay News) -- At least one sign of autism may begin as early as 2 months of life, new research suggests.
The study of 110 babies found that infants later diagnosed with autism showed a decline in the amount of attention they paid to other people's eyes beginning at 2 months and continuing until 24 months.
"We found that signs of autism are measurable and observable within the first months of life," said study author Warren Jones, director of research at the Marcus Autism Center at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
"These are the earliest signs of autism ever observed," Jones said, noting they may be associated with symptom severity.
Children with autism have impaired communication and social skills and often exhibit repetitive behaviors. Symptoms may be mild, as in Asperger syndrome, or severe, as in full-blown autism. It's estimated that one in 88 U.S. children has an autism spectrum disorder.
Despite the observed decline in eye attention, the researchers said infants later diagnosed with autism did pay more attention to people's eyes than was expected.
"This insight, the preservation of some early eye-looking, is important because, in the future, if we were able to use similar technologies to identify early signs of social disability, we could then consider interventions to build on that early eye-looking and help reduce some of the associated disabilities that often accompany autism," said Jones.
Autism therapies work best when begun while the brain is still developing. "This early developmental window may be an opportunity to intervene that we didn't know we had before," Jones added.
The findings, released online Nov. 6 as a letter in the journal Nature, need to be confirmed in larger studies before they can lead to changes in clinical practice.
Deficits in eye contact are a key sign of autism spectrum disorders, according to background information in the study. But it wasn't clear when such deficits begin.
Currently, autism is often diagnosed using a scientifically validated checklist designed for youngsters between 16 months and 30 months old, according to Autism Speaks.
For the study, the researchers enrolled 59 babies considered to be at high risk of developing an autism spectrum disorder because they had a sibling with autism. Another 51 babies were enrolled who were considered low-risk.
To see if they could pinpoint when lack of interest in other people's eyes begins, the research team used eye-tracking technology to measure the babies' focus when shown videos of caregivers engaged in normal behaviors.
The babies were shown the videos at 10 time points between 2 months and 2 years of age.
By age 3, just one child from the low-risk group was later diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, compared to 12 youngsters in the high-risk group. Because just two of these children were female, the researchers limited their analysis to the 11 male children diagnosed with autism. They compared them to 25 typically developing children from the low-risk group.

EXTRA!, May 2011: Jonathan Vanderweit
Interview by Vasi Hîrdo for Ceramics Now Magazine - Issue Two
Ceramics Now Magazine: Tell us who you are and what you do.
My name is Jonathan and I make photographs in Denver, CO, USA. I have been shooting for about ten years, but have really begun to focus on the craft of photography since early 2010. I also work as a videographer and creative director for a small nonprofit organization here in Denver.
What is your present photography project, what's its history and how do relate to it?
Jonathan Vanderweit: My work focuses on the exploration of the world around us with specific regard to the interaction between humans and the natural environment. This means finding areas where nature has begun to reclaim the world of people, which here in the US often happens in formerly industrial/manufacturing areas as well as at the fringes of cities and towns. I love finding where our maintenance crews haven't caught up or which taken on a kind of serendipitous equilibrium between the forces of creation and ruin.
My next two photo projects are extensions on this theme. One is a series of portraits of people who wear glasses or contact lenses. The photos will be displayed in pairs, the left a normal portrait of the subject in their glasses and the right will be a shot without them. The image on the right will have the focus corrected to account for the person's natural visual acuity, with a different effect for each person depending if he/she is nearsighted, farsighted, or has astigmatism.
The second project will use some of the locations I have discovered over the last year–walls, doorways, stairs, the urban features of Denver–as settings for exquisitely-dressed floating protagonists. These photos will explore the habitation of spaces that have previously been considered industrial or austere by inhabiting them with individuals bursting with style and weightlessness. Gven the labored past of many of these dwellings, one would expect that they be drab and deserted. In fact the opposite is proving true, homes in lofts and warehouses have strong draw for creative people and have become a highly desired place of residence.
How it all started? What was your first camera and what devices do you have now?
My first camera was an Olympus OM-1 with a 50mm lens, which was a gift from my father when I was around 15 years old. Today, I primarily shoot with a Nikon D700 and I also have a Nikon FE2 that I use when I don't feel like carrying much, as well as a Mamiya RZ67 medium format system which is huge and exquisite serves as a constant reminder of what a camera actually does.
The instant feedback of shooting digital has accelerated my learning curve and gives me loads of flexibility when processing my images, but I will continue to shoot film for the sheer fact that it feels like creating a real thing (which makes me shoot more slowly and thoughtfully), and that the look of many film types is hard to duplicate digitally.

CLINTONVILLE, WI (WTAQ) - Clintonville's city administrator will remain on leave after council members Tuesday night were divided about the next move in dealing with allegations involving Lisa Kotter.
Council members decided in closed session to refer a labor attorney to make the decision about whether Kotter misused city funds for family vacations while on work trips.
After the meeting, Kotter said she was disappointed.
"Yes, obviously, because I had indicated to them that it's been two weeks that they've been paying me to stay home and do my job. I'd like to do my job," Kotter told FOX 11.
"The motion was made to refer this personnel matter to the city's labor attorney for further action and that passed six to four," Jeannie Schley, Clintonville City Council President, told FOX 11.
Clintonville Mayor Judith Magee says to her knowledge, Kotter's trips had seemed legitimate.
"She's been here 17 years and she's been on eight trips. She could have gone on 17. And those are being misconstrued that she took her family on vacation, paid for by the city. And that is not true. We have all the receipts from the hotels and the convention centers," said Magee.
City officials say this investigation has cost about $10,000. Kotter has been on paid leave since May 13.

The Rouge takes a look at each team and poses their biggest question heading into the off-season. Today, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
It's the biggest question the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will have to answer this off-season and probably the biggest question of the entire winter in the CFL: Will Buck Pierce lead the club in 2013?
Pierce's concussion history is well documented. So too are the differing opinions on how the 31-year-old should proceed with his career. Some say he should call it quits, fearing for his future health, while others believe he can - and should - make his own decisions and as long as someone is willing to pay him to play football, he should be allowed to.
So the question perhaps now becomes: are the Bombers willing to continue paying Pierce to quarterback their team. When healthy, there's no doubt Pierce can be an effective signal caller in the CFL, but reliability is definitely an issue.
Pierce saw action in just seven games for Winnipeg last season and has missed 26 regular season games in his three years with the Bombers.
Should the Bombers choose to enter next season with Pierce as their starter, identifying and acquiring a backup they are comfortable with starting some games throughout the year seems like a requirement. Whether that backup is Joey Elliott or Alex Brink, or even Justin Goltz, is another question Winnipeg would have to resolve.
Of course, GM Joe Mack and head coach Tim Burke could consider Pierce himself as a backup moving forward. The energetic QB could thrive in a change-of-pace roll. And coming off the bench could help to keep Pierce healthier as well.
The third option would obviously be to move on from Pierce. After a 6-12 season in the 'Peg, off-season change is likely to come. Whether Pierce finds himself part of that change is yet to be seen.
The Rouge asks: What should the Winnipeg Blue Bombers do with Buck Pierce this off-season?

J.R. Smith followed with 13 points and seven boards and Raymond Felton chipped in 11 points and eight assists to help the Knicks bounce back from their first loss of the season on Friday against Memphis.
"I thought we were good throughout the whole game defensively," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "There's going to be nights when we struggle to score the ball. That's any NBA team."
Paul George led the Pacers with 20 points, while David West donated 14 points and pulled down seven rebounds for Indiana, which has dropped three of its last four games.
"We gotta get more shots," George said of the Pacers' offense. "We gotta get better looks, more attempts and take care of the ball."
Anthony carried the Knicks over the first 12 minutes of the game, pouring in 12 points in the first quarter to help his squad build a 21-18 edge heading into the second stanza.
The Pacers struggled offensively in the second, as they made just 3-of-16 shots from the field and turned the ball over seven times, leading to eight points from the Knicks.
Despite the poor shooting, Indiana trailed by just two near the midpoint of the frame, but the Knicks ripped off a 13-3 run to take a 39-27 lead with under two minutes left in the half.
New York carried a 41-30 advantage into the locker room and led by double- digits for most of the third quarter, but a Sam Young 3-pointer brought the Pacers within 63-54 with 3:27 left in the frame.
Rasheed Wallace answered with the Knicks' final five points of the quarter, then scored the team's first four of the fourth to press the lead to 72-58 less than two minutes into the final frame.
New York led by double-digits the rest of the way en route to the victory.
Game Notes
Knicks guard Jason Kidd received stitches on his head early in the first quarter, but returned later in the game. He finished with three points and two assists ... Indiana shot 39.4 percent from the field, while New York shot 36.7 percent ... Wallace finished with nine points and seven rebounds for New York.

Michael Dell's win comes at high cost
The latest, cozy deal between the founder and the board gives stockholders a little bump. But it's a loss for corporate governance as it buries concerns about taking the company private.
Michael Dell is going to get his way. Last Friday, the "independent" committee of the board of directors governing the company he founded signed off on a revised "going private" transaction that makes it highly likely he'll finally succeed in his months-long quest to buy out Dell (DELL) in conjunction with private equity firm Silver Lake Partners.
There are good reasons for both shareholders and bondholders to be alarmed by this transaction -- albeit, different reasons. Let's ponder the first, and most obvious objections to start with, because the considerations that stock investors care about have been most in the news.
The Dell/Silver Lake buyers have agreed to pay an extra 10 cents a share (or $13.75 a share) plus a special dividend of 13 cents a share. They also pledged to pay out the next regular dividend (another 8 cents a share) in order to win the de facto support of the independent board committee, which agreed to alter voting rules in Dell's favor. As long as shareholder abstentions were counted as votes against the proposed transaction, Dell and Silver Lake may have struggled to win approval for their proposed deal, especially given the opposition from some major stock holders and a rival bid from activist investor Carl Icahn.
The stock market seemed to be happy with the deal cut between the directors and Michael Dell's group. Shareholders may feel better as the value of their stock increases, but they shouldn't feel thrilled about what has happened. The agreement strikes many observers as a cozy little arrangement between the founder and his board, especially given that the shareholder referendum on the revised proposal is scheduled for mid-September, while Dell's annual meeting -- the first occasion that Icahn will have to effectively challenge Dell by presenting a rival slate of directors -- won't take place until mid-October.
The deal, then, is largely a fait accompli, but it's far from a triumph for corporate governance. When in doubt, directors should create a level playing field, not tilt it in favor of one side or another in this kind of dispute. Their role is to represent the interests of all investors, and the terms of the two transactions are close enough now to warrant offering shareholders a clear choice. Instead, the board committee has altered rules governing the transaction to make it more possible for Dell and Silver Lake to emerge victorious, even as the bidders have struggled to win shareholder support for the deal and postponed votes that they were likely to end up losing.
If corporate governance advocates don't squawk loudly about the special committee's decision to revise the terms of the transaction, perhaps bondholders will. True, Fitch Ratings came out with a statement saying that it doesn't believe that the higher cost of the buyout would have enough of an impact on the company's debt position to warrant any further warning. Fitch already has Dell on credit watch, though, and has warned it is likely to cut the company's current BB+ rating by a couple of notches once the final outcome has been determined. The final rating, the agency has said, "will depend on Fitch's comfort with Dell's long-term enterprise strategy."
Even if credit-rating agencies aren't worried by the sweetened offer -- which will result in more leverage being loaded on top of the $4.1 billion of long-term debt already on its books -- bond investors might well be irked by the decision to make the capital structure more wobbly. As Gavan Nolan, director of credit research for Markit, pointed out in a recent commentary, credit default swaps on Dell's debt saw spreads widen sharply before Michael Dell and Silver Lake made their bid. Back then, the market applied a lower risk of default to Dell's debt, even though the company had no clear strategy for extricating itself from the deterioration in its core business. Today, with both Dell and Icahn putting forth rival scenarios, the market is more anxious about the ability of Dell to survive and thrive.
Markit's analysts choose to view the Dell announcement as a hallmark of a bull market in which the interests of bond owners -- who rank senior to shareholders in a company's capital structure -- take a back seat to the demands of those shareholders. For my part, I think the message is a broader one: The risk for bondholders isn't just that a company might default on its obligations, violating a debt covenant or filing for bankruptcy. Rather, the recent mania for relatively high-yielding debt -- understandable in light of the rock-bottom yields on Treasury securities throughout the last four or so years – has resulted in the underpricing of an array of other risks, such as excessive leverage.
It's a timely reminder, as investors are in the midst of rediscovering their enthusiasm for junk bonds, dumping investment-grade corporate bonds and snapping up companies that -- like Dell -- are deemed by rating agencies to be at greater risk of heading into financial trouble down the road. The spread between junk and investment-grade debt was narrower in late July than it was a year earlier, in spite of the Fed's warning that it may taper off the monthly bond purchases that have kept interest rates so low.
Stock investors may be content, if not delighted, by the Dell/Silver Lake decision to sweeten their bid for the beleaguered company, but they shouldn't be thrilled at the manner in which this has been handled, given the message it sends to other boards about governance. Bondholders may be relieved that Fitch and other rating agencies aren't ringing the alarm bells about the sweetened deal, but may wonder at the willingness of the bidders to load a bit more debt onto the balance sheet of a company they have presented as being on its last legs. Michael Dell may have won his battle -- but the price may not be paid by him alone.

Please select Partners Against Pain for more information.
November is National Caregivers Awareness Month
Sending a big thank you to all the caregivers working hard to care for our beloved family members. I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to my aunt Peg for caring for my ninety-two year old grandma! My grandmother still lives in the home my grandfather built for her over fifty years ago all of this is directly attributed to my aunts hard work and dedication.
Me and my grandma before my pain was managed note the smile on my face shows pain.
We must remember no human or animal should suffer from horrific pain, this is not a quality life. I went over one year without having my pain managed not understanding that the pain was not going to go away like when we break our leg or something. Pain is a signal to say something is wrong and we need to get help I highly suggest reaching out and doing your homework when helping a loved one navigate pain management. Before my pain was managed I refused to eat much, suffered from insomnia as the pain would wake me up I found myself living a life in a deep blur this is not healthy.
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!
