Rehr is stepping out
The news that David Rehr was leaving the NAB came as a surprise to everyone. Granted, you don't let anyone peak at the hand you want to play.
I met Rehr on several occasions. I'll give him credit for the direction of the NAB over the past 3.5 years. He is something of a showman, but I don't mean that in a bad way. He likes to talk to an audience with a wireless lavaliere and without a podium. He speaks with passion about whatever the topic is. I have watched him at receptions making the rounds where he has to repeat the same message 30 times to different small groups, but each time he has the same enthusiasm in his voice.
The NAB has had some interesting battles during his term. Some have been lost (satellite radio merger, which was a losing battle from the start despite the NAB's huge fuss over it). Some are still be fought (terrestrial radio performance fees). In general, I think Rehr has been effective at bringing the NAB into a more current view of broadcasting and its part of the current electronic media state.
There's no word yet on what Rehr is going to do next.

Measuring a teacher's impact on student learning can be challenging. After all, students start the year at different skill levels, and they all face different factors inside and outside the classroom that affect how they learn.
At its core, IVA is a way of dealing with these challenges. It helps us estimate the teacher's impact on student learning as opposed to the impact of other factors, such as students' prior skill level, the resources they have at home, any learning disabilities they may have, or their classroom composition.
In short, IVA helps us understand what the teacher did, apart from everything else.
DCPS uses value-added data as part of IMPACT, our system for assessing teacher performance. We do so because we believe that clear evidence of student learning is an essential part of being an effective teacher.
Individual Value-Added (IVA) applies to English language arts teachers in grades four through ten, and to math teachers in grades four through eight. These teachers are in IMPACT Group 1. IVA is restricted to these grades and subjects because they are the only ones for which we have student DC CAS scores from both the prior and current year, a requirement for value-added.
First, we calculate how a teacher's students are likely to perform, on average, on our standardized assessment (the DC CAS) given their previous year's scores and other relevant information. We then compare that likely score with the students' actual average score. Teachers with high IVA scores are those whose students' actual performance exceeds their likely performance. This process is explained in further detail in IVA section of the Group 1 IMPACT guidebook (see link below).
Please note that the value-added calculation process is quite complex, which is why DCPS has contracted with Mathematica Policy Research, a nationally respected research firm, to conduct the analyses. Mathematica's clients have included the U.S. Department of Education and many other federal, state, and local agencies.
In addition, independent value-added experts reviewed the methodology used to evaluate DCPS teachers, including Eric Hanushek of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, Jonah Rockoff of Columbia Business School, and Tim Sass of Georgia State University.

Henley's Sisters Family Reunion 09 by DiDI - about 5 years ago
"First annual family reunion. This was the first time we had all be together in about 3 years. We were at Earlywine Park in Oklahoma City. It was 105 degrees outside, despite that we all had a great time. The shirts were a big hit, they really looked good on everyone. I love the fact the I will have something to remember the occasion until the next reunion. CustomInk was just great from the beginning to the end of our order. They were even delivered ahead of schedule. The quality of the shirt is excellent, I highly recommend using them for your upcoming event. We will use them again next year. Thanks CustomInk for making our reunion a memorable one. The Henley Sister's family"

Re: Deductibility Threat Moves to House
When it rains, it pours. As you know, disallowing the federal tax deduction for prescription drug advertising is being discussed in the Senate Finance Committee as a source of revenue for healthcare reform. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel (D-NY) has recently been quoted as saying his committee is considering the option also.
It is very important that members of the Ways and Means Committee hear from the advertising industry that this option must be rejected. I urge you to call or email members of the committee and tell them you oppose any limitation on the deduction of advertising expenses – for prescription drugs or any other product. Please circulate this alert to other members of your advertising club and/or company, and continue contacting Senators as well.
A list of Ways and Means members, with advertising clubs in, or close to their districts is below. Contact information for the appropriate staff can be found here.
Thank you for your continued work on this important issue.
Limiting advertising deductibility of pharmaceuticals should be opposed because:
The Tax Code and its deductions should be applied equally to all ordinary and necessary business expenses. Even at the height of public criticism of the tobacco industry, Congress did not discriminate between the treatment of the cost of advertising tobacco products, which is fully deductible, and the cost of advertising other products. Some may recall that Congress "affirmed" a ban on television and radio advertising of tobacco products. But it did so after the industry elected to withdraw this advertising rather than face government sponsored antismoking ads. This also took place before the Supreme Court had enunciated the doctrine that protects commercial speech under the First Amendment.
The underlying goal of eliminating the deduction for advertising prescription medications is very straightforward – it is to make speech about the product more expensive. That will assure there is less advertising, and less advertising will result in fewer sales of the advertised prescription medications, particularly to Medicare Part D eligible patients. In other words, Congress would be taxing speech to save money on a federal program of spending.
The denial of the deduction would make this advertising 35 percent more expensive (assuming the top federal corporate tax rate). Assuming that the affected companies do not have wealthy uncles or unlimited supplies of spare cash, they likely will reduce their advertising by a similar amount, resulting in a loss of speech to consumers. Thus, the loss of the deduction is no more than a tax on advertising.
In Grosjean v. American Press Co., Inc., 297 U. S. 233 (1936), the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a 2 percent Louisiana tax on newspapers with more than 20,000 circulation per week. The 13 affected newspapers were critics of Governor Huey Long and sued to challenge the tax as an unconstitutional tax on speech. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed.
Section 162 of the Tax Code provides for the current deduction of all ordinary and necessary business expenses. This section applies to all such expenses – rent, utilities, salaries, and every form of daily business operation. Virtually all advertising costs are ordinary business expenses. Imagine the world of business however, if Congress were to pick and choose favorite products – products that would get the deduction and products that would be denied the deduction. What else might be on the hit list? For example, would generic drugs be entitled to the deduction, but not brand drugs? What about vehicles that cannot achieve the efficiency of 20 miles on a gallon of gas? What about a bank that fails its stress test?

As of Friday, September 14, 2012

FOREST PARK — Forest Park city council members said outgoing Mayor Corine Deyton's recent announcement to retire had nothing to do with an ethics complaint filed against her.
Forest Park Mayor Pro-Tem Sparkle Adams said it hurt her when she found out Deyton was retiring from office.
"We accepted Mayor Deyton's retirement with the same grace and dignity she put forth," Adams said. "Mayor Deyton's decision to retire had nothing to do with the ethics complaint filed against her. She served the city well for more than 15 years and we will truly miss her. The ethics complaint is currently under investigation by the city attorney."
Adams said the city council members have become like a family.
"When one hurts we all hurt," Adams added. "It is like losing a member of your family. I will miss seeing her smiling face. She always had the city's interest in the forefront of everything she did."
Forest Park City Attorney Robert Mack, Parker and council members declined giving details about the ethics complaint.
Councilwoman, Linda Lord said the city council members work together "to speak as one voice."
"We are saddened to see her go," she said. "It is with mixed emotions that we accepted her retirement, but she has made a decision she felt was in the best interest of the city and herself and we respect that."
The city council met for a special called meeting Friday morning. Council members Maudie McCord, Lord, Latresa Akins, and Adams along with city manager, John Parker and city attorney Robert Mack were on hand for the meeting.
Deyton, who is scheduled to leave office Oct. 15, did not attend the council meeting.
Adams said she wants the city council to continue working on projects to advance the city.
"I would like to see us continue with a good working relationship between the mayor, council and employees to move Forest Park forward. We want to continue to provide great service to our residents."
Adams cited the completion of the Fort Gillem project. The city is working to transform the former military base and bring 1,500 to 2,000 "good-paying-jobs" to the city during the $750 million dollar development.
"We want people to look at Forest Park as an economic engine for the south metro area of Atlanta," Adams added.
The mayor pro-tem said in 10 to 15 years the city's $350 million dollar Main Street development should be completed.
"We are redeveloping Main Street, because we want a community where people can live, work and play within the confines of Forest Park," she continued.

......Will these "good-paying-jobs" be rewarded to the residents of Forest Park, or to the residents of other counties ?

A new study from Boston University's School of Public Health adds to the growing collection of research that shows that coming out as gay, lesbian, or bisexual is good for a person's health, as is parental support when coming out occurs. After surveying 5,658 LGB adults in Massachusetts, researchers found that coming out was associated with better health for lesbian and bi women, but gay and bi men were more greatly impacted by their parents' reactions. Men whose parents did not affirm them were six or seven times more likely to face serious depression and engage in binge drinking. Women in the same situation were still five times more likely to develop serious depression and 11 times more likely to use illicit drug use. The study has significant implications for the way families and communities support gay youth and talk about LGBT issues with young people.
Another Study Confirms Importance Of Coming Out And Parental Support

Standard Vent. This top-of-the-line water heater includes automatic sediment clearing, a cross-link polymer dip tube, a factory-installed pressure-relief valve, and a glass lining that the maker says provides twice the corrosion resistance of competitive models. The 40- and 50-gallon Conservationist units each deliver 40,000 Btu per hour using natural gas (an electric model is also available) and recover 41 to 44 gallons per hour at a 90°F rise. Standard ventilation is required. The units cost $600 and $700, respectively. A.O. Smith, 800/527-1953, www.aosmithwaterheaters.com
Hot on the Spot. Continuous hot water on demand isn't a new idea — but it's a good one, given the right application. At a temperature rise of 45°F, the Pronto! RTG-74 claims a 7.4-gallon-per-minute flow rate, enough to supply one or two single-head showers without depriving the next person in line of hot water. The unit measures 24 by 133/4 by 95/8 inches, takes 3/4-inch water and gas (natural or propane) connections, and requires a 4-inch-diameter vent. Suggested retail price is $1,149; a smaller, 4.2-gpm unit costs $889. Rheem Water Heaters, 800/621-5622, www.rheem.com
Loop System. The D'Mand Hot Water Delivery System is a button-activated pump that kicks in to deliver hot water to an outlet in mere seconds. A point-of-use temperature sensor deactivates the pump when the hot water arrives. The system requires a return water line to the cold-water inlet at the water heater, and it is compatible with the manufacturer's proprietary cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing. Model 100 serves systems with tubing runs of less than 100 feet and costs $395; Model 200 handles longer runs and costs $650. Uponor Wirsbo, 800/321-4739, www.wirsbo.com
A Tankless Job. Thoughtful clients eager to conserve natural resources may worry that a tankless heater won't be up to the task of supplying more than one major outlet at a time. Fear not: The gas-fired GWH-635-ES heater is more than capable, says the maker, with a maximum output of 6.35 gpm at a 45°F temperature rise. It costs $1,200. Controlled Energy, 866/330-2725, www.protankless.com
Keep Out. EasyLock hardware discreetly prevents access to cabinets containing household poisons or prescription medicines. The magnetic card-actuated device is easy to retrofit or relocate, says the maker, and costs $32.60. Hettich America, 770/887-3733, www.hettichamerica.com
Wired for Efficiency. Drawers are arguably more efficient than shelves for storage, and drawer organizers extend that argument to the max. The 5389 and 5390 Series of heavy-duty chrome wire pull-out cookware and dinnerware baskets ride on full-extension slides. The wire is coated with a transparent epoxy to reduce contact noise. Organizers come in two sizes, for 21- and 33-inch-wide base cabinets, with a suggested installed cost of $315 to $395 each. Rev-A-Shelf, 800/626-1126, www.rev-a-shelf.com
Around the Corner. Can you use "hypocycloid" in a sentence? No matter — now you can use it in your corner cabinets. The Crazy Suzy is a three-cornered shelf with a unique rotation that allows it to extend out of the cabinet. This configuration also provides more usable surface area than a standard carousel. The shelf costs $129 and requires about 20 inches of clearance for installation inside the cabinet. Turn the Corner, 412/343-3305, www.turnthecornerllc.com
Metal Option. Whether you're making custom cabinets, ordering them, or just replacing the faces,the AF Series Aluminum Cabinet Doors are worth a look. The five tempered-glass options in this collection come with aluminum frames, which can be ordered in 1/16-inch increments and arrive fully assembled. Costs are competitive with those of comparably sized solid-wood doors, says the manufacturer, and there are no minimum orders. Element Designs, 704/332-3114, www.element-designs.com

JAKARTA, INDONESIA – The Government of Indonesia and Asian Development Bank (ADB) will develop sustainable alternative livelihoods in coastal communities, reform the country's social security system, improve households' access to financial service, and enhance financial sector governance and risk management with projects financed by the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction.
The ceremony today saw ADB Country Director for Indonesia Jon D. Lindborg, and Director of Funds from the Indonesian Ministry of Finance Ayu Sukorini exchanged letters of agreement for the four projects.
Grant assistance of $2 million is aimed at benefiting poor coastal communities in Berau district, East Kalimantan, under a pilot sustainable livelihood model. The area is part of a transboundary priority eco-region under the Coral Triangle Initiative. Held in coordination with other coastal area activities conducted in the area, the project is expected to reduce fishing pressures and improve the area's marine ecosystem.
In addition to its grant assistance, ADB will also administer three technical assistance projects. The first project of $800,000 aims to reduce vulnerability of the poor to sudden economic shocks through reforms to the social security system in line with the Government's National Poverty Reduction Agenda.
The second technical assistance project of another $800,000 will ensure that people in Aceh and North Sumatera have improved access to financial services. This will be done by providing support to provincial governments, local banks, and community-based producers to ensure sustainable and commercially-viable microfinance programs.
The third technical assistance project of $1 million will focus on enhancing the financial sector governance and risk management. By supporting Government's efforts in developing Integrated Financial Services Authority (OJK), deepening its capital market's services, and increasing the demand for domestic capital market instruments, the project will strengthen the financial sector and boost growth in capital markets.
"ADB appreciates the grant funding provided by the Government of Japan for these activities, which support more inclusive, environmentally-sustainable growth," Mr. Lindborg said in his remarks. "These projects will benefit from a community-driven approach and a focus on strengthened public financial management and regulation."

After a popular magazine dubbed the University of Minnesota campus one of the ugliest schools, alumni had a few things to say about the label that certainly isn't very Minnesota Nice.
"I think people underestimate the University of Minnesota. Not only is it beautiful, we have tons of first tons of discoveries," says Jason Schmuck. "We've got tons of really famous alumni."
That sort of pride is the main reason Schmuck and Ben Drawall are taking Travel and Leisure Magazines list of the ugliest college campuses so personally. Both used to be guides who gave tours to prospective U of M students. As alumni, Schmuck and his wife even had their engagement photos taken on campus.
"So when they called the campus ugly, it took a dig at our engagement photos too," he said.
Beautiful U of M photos: http://bit.ly/1h2YxUG
Travel and Leisure says they "consulted the Princeton Review, Unigo.com and other forums where students hotly debated all aspects of campus life." In the list of 15 schools, Travel and Leisure specifically calls out Coffman Union, saying "the only feature that could make it look more industrial would be the addition of smokestacks."
"I don't believe anyone was on the campus who made this judgment," said architect and U of M alum Ann Voda. "In fact, the photo to illustrate their point wasn't of Coffman Union at all. It was of the building behind Coffman Union."
Viewers flooded Fox 9 with photos aimed to prove the assessment wrong. Many of the photos highlight a campus with both brains and beauty, rich with history dating back to the 1800s. Northrup Hall alone was host to Martin Luther King, Bob Dylan and the Dalai Lama.
"Of course you have a few that were built during the Cold War," Schmuck allowed. "I think we have a really beautiful campus -- of course we have a few blemishes and rough spots. I think every university does."
Students soaking up views of the river and downtown have mixed reviews.
Eric Hsu said, "There's always construction everywhere, but it never ends up looking much nicer."
In the end, beauty may be in the eye of the beholder -- but ugly may be going a little too far.
"Are you serious? I mean, I beg to differ because I don't think it's the ugliest," Sam protested. "I mean, there are places that are prettier. It is one of the best schools I can say, personally."
University officials did not give an official response about the list, but they did send Fox 9 News a link that dubs the campus beautiful.

You can now enter to win a pair of the new FJ SuperLites - FootJoy's lightest shoe ever! Available as part of the new 2008-2009 line, FJ SuperLites were specifically developed to offer lightweight, comfortable golf shoes in two distinct looks: Hybrid and Traditional. Click HERE to enter the sweepstakes and click HERE to see the styles.
What makes these shoes so light? Read on...
The outsole is constructed using EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Ascetate) which is softer and lighter than PU (polyurethane) or thicker full TPU (thermoplastic urethane) outsoles. However, you still get the added traction and durability of the TPU outsole via TPU strips that have been strategically placed in the high-abrasion areas of the outsole.
The Hybrid models (58007, 58015, 58023, 58031) were engineered utilizing the 'competition last' which provides a fuller fore-foot fit and the toe design was inspired by the very successful LT Series line of shoes.
The traditional saddle styles (58049, 58055, 58064) were built on the Austin last, so those of you who have worn eComfort for years, can expect the exact same fit in the new lighter, more comfortable Traditional FJ SuperLites.
We caught up with Jim while in Pinehurst, NC for the FootJoy summer Sales Meeting. Check out the video below for Jim's thoughts on the meeting, the new 2008-2009 product line and playing Pinehurst #2, among other topics.

Duncan McCarthy is a FootJoy employee in the UK. However, this week he is also a competitor at Local Final Qualifying trying to earn a spot in next week's Open Championship. Qualifying takes place in the UK today and tomorrow over four courses with the top four finishers from each course getting a spot in The Open.
Click on the video below to hear how Duncan put himself in this enviable position, what a spot in next week's Open would mean, and what FootJoy and Titleist products he has in the bag.
Click the image of Duncan to start the video.
Ross Fisher capped off a terrific week by winning The European Open in emphatic style Sunday at The London Golf Club. Just days after going through qualifying to earn a spot in The Open Championship, the 27 year old Englishman, who began the tournament with a course-record 63, completed a majestic seven stroke win by holing a bunker shot on the last to close with a 4-under 68. Beginning the final round with a three shot lead, Fisher all but put the tournament out of reach with a 50 foot eagle putt on the fifth hole and finished the week with a 20-under 268 total.
As outlined in our European "Tour Insider," below, Fisher played 36 holes Monday to qualify for The Open Championship in two weeks. He considered pulling out of this week's tournament due to exhaustion but can rest peacefully now knowing he defeated many former, and possibly future, Ryder Cup veterans en route to victory...something he may add to his resume later this year after moving from 21st to 11th in the Ryder Cup points standings.
Fisher relied on Clasics Tour style #51315 shoes, FootJoy Performance Outerwear and ProDry Extreme Crew socks to overcome adverse weather conditions and a world-class field en route to his second European Tour victory.
"They say the second win is harder. I might have made it look easy, but it certainly wasn't."
Glorious sunshine this week at The London Club, where tired players and caddies arrived on Tuesday following 36 holes at Sunningdale for International Final Qualifying the previous day. We saw Ross Fisher (RIGHT), fresh from qualifying for this years Open, practicing in his Classics Tour early in the week.
Alejandro Canizares, who usually wears only Contour, collected a new pair of DryJoys Tech style #53502.
Peter O'Malley picked up two new pairs of ReelFit, style #53832 and #53859.
Alex Noren is trying a new pair of Classics Tour, style #51315. Up until now he has always worn Classics Dry Premiere, however heading into the summer season in Europe he is looking for a shoe which offers him the same support, but a bit lighter with some additional cushioning, to help with the firmer fairways.
Danny Willett, the former World #1 Amateur, visted the truck to pick up some FootJoy ProDry socks, and was proudly displaying his FJ alliegance with an FJ on his collar
Spikeless MyJoys are proving to be a popular choice of footwear amongst the caddies on the European Tour (See images below).

Would a separation of Science and State help or hinder Innovation and scientific discovery?
For my Bioelectricity class this week, we began reading the Spark of Life, by Frances Ashcroft, and a very interesting historical fact resonated with me: There was an acrimonious debate during the American War of Independence between those who supported Benjamin Franklin´s idea of a pointed tip as a lightning conductor and Benjamin Wilson´s (a British scientist) preference of rounded, low-blunted knobs. What had begun as a scientific spat quickly escalated into a major feud between the British knob and the American spike factions. The Royal Society carried out a series of experiments and concluded that Franklin was in fact correct; however, King George III ordered the Society to reverse its conclusions and to remove pointed spikes from Ordnance buildings. In response, John Pringle, the President of the Society, memorably said, "duty as well as inclination would always induce him to execute his Majesty´s wishes to the utmost of his power, but `Sire [...] I cannot reverse the laws and operations of nature.´"
As seen from this short anecdote, the political environment of the time can greatly affect the research and work of many scientists. We also learned that Max Planck, the father of quantum mechanics, as well as Walther Nernst, were vocal critiques of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. They protested the German treatment of Jewish scientists and helped their colleagues find positions elsewhere.
Today, President Obama has stated, "Whether it´s improving our health or harnessing clean energy, protecting our security or succeeding in the global economy, our future depends on reaffirming America´s role as the world´s engine of scientific discovery and technological innovations." Although a significant amount of scientific research is funded by political institutions, how do you, members of the TED community, feel about a separation of politics and science? Would a separation help or hinder scientific innovation?

Hadar CohenFeb 14 2013: Hi Ariel!
Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking question. I think that involving politics in different aspects of our lives is generally a bad idea. However, with scientific research, I think it is highly important that the government funds many different projects. Obviously this involves choosing which types of projects are selected which can get a bit messy as it might cater to certain politicians personal opinions. This risk of bias should not alter the government's decision to fund projects as a whole.
I think there should be a separation of science and state to an extent. Full separation is impossible and not beneficial. But separation in the sense where we do not allow our state to govern science is one that is much preferable.
Feb 15 2013: I agree Hadar!
Depending on the level of separation of Science and State, the disjunction can be either harmful or helpful. As seen in the example you quoted, Ariel, King George III attempted to disprove science in order to show prominence over America. When Science and State are connected to this extent, there are harmful consequences.
However, as Hadar says, funding is nearly the most important item for scientific research. Corporations large and small are always hesitant to fund research that does not prove to become a "money maker." This is where government funding comes into play.
There is obviously a fine line that must be drawn between science and state and perhaps the most important question is simply "where?"
Feb 19 2013: Jonathan Yellow,
I agree with you in that the most important question is where to draw the line between science and state. Our country's economy runs on capitalism; therefore, scientific research that can possibly yield profitable results, usually have no problem being funded by private corporations under the profit motive. Some scientific non-profit endeavors, however, often find hard times being funded by private organizations. In these cases I find it imperative for government funding to step in and provide a driving force for world-changing research on the basis of the greater good of mankind.
Feb 17 2013: I also think that it is beneficial to have the government fund scientific research to a certain extent. Although this leads to politically or economically driven research and projects, I don't think it is necessarily bad as long as the government tries to distribute the funds evenly to also support non-politically driven projects. I think politically or economically driven research has a value-- using science to make profit or to shape politics in a way it benefits the people seems like a good thing.

One of my favorite accessories for the spring summer 2013 has to be flower crowns. Whether you wear them with bold exotic colors to make a statement or for a more romantic look, either can be perfect for the warmer weather that is hitting the Valley. Soft, messy braids or beach-wave hair also looks great with flower crowns and could be a perfect accessory for a lazy day.
As a matter of fact, a few weeks ago during Coachella many of our favorite celebrities and bloggers sported flower crowns as accessories, which captivated all the attention. Now, it is your turn to be bold and beautiful.
But if you are asking yourself what exactly is a flower crown, well let me introduce you to the history of the cutest accessory you can make or buy this season.
Flowers are usually popular during the spring seasons, but this time around they are definitely making more news and will even be big during the summer. Here's their quick history: the tradition of making garland of flowers eventually turned into the making of flower crowns, which has been practiced by many cultures across time.
According to "eHow,"Flowers represent celebration, while crowns usually symbolize honor, so combining flowers and crowns is almost as natural as breathing. Does this spark any ideas?
Flower crowns have been used in the Catholic religion, which traditionally is celebrated by the coronation of flowers to the statue of Mary, the mother or Christ.
In weddings, brides have worn flower crowns since ancient times. Now however, they are worn by flower girls.
In the Greek culture lilies are used to represent maidenhood, prosperity, marriage and happiness.
As for the Romans, flower crowns were used for several reasons, some of which include the celebration of weddings, for social gatherings to offset the drinking of liquor and as a reward to estimable behaviors.
And finally here in the United States they are known as "Lei" in Hawaii. These flower accessories are not only worn across the neck but on the heads of dancers and brides. Leis are worn for celebrations, ceremonies and beauty. And in other cultures it is linked to ancient fertility rituals.
So now that you got a quick history lesson on flower crowns, are you ready to make one of your own?
Below is a DIY video I had the opportunity of working on with Daniella Diaz, one of the reporters for The Pan American.
I hope you enjoy it.
By the way, show us your beautiful creations by uploading your pictures on Instagram and tagging The PanAmerican, "@thepanamerican."

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian: Anna Popplewell[1]
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: Anna Popplewell
Susan Pevensie is a fictional character in C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia series. Susan is the elder sister and the second eldest Pevensie child. She appears in three of the seven books—as a child in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian, and as an adult in The Horse and His Boy. She is also mentioned in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Last Battle. During her reign at the Narnian capital of Cair Paravel, she is known as Queen Susan the Gentle or Queen Susan of the Horn. She was the only Pevensie that survived the train wreck (because she was not on the train or at the station) on Earth which sent the others to Narnia after The Last Battle.[2]
In Disney's live-action films, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) and Prince Caspian (2008), Susan is portrayed by actress Anna Popplewell. Actress Sophie Winkleman portrays an older Susan at the end of the first film.[1] In the book Susan is described as having black hair: "And Susan grew into a tall and gracious woman with black hair that fell almost to her feet and the kings of the countries beyond the sea began to send ambassadors asking for her hand in marriage. And she was called Susan the Gentle."[3]
Fictional character biography[edit]
Prior story[edit]
Susan was born in 1928 and is 12 years old when she appears in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. By The Last Battle, she is 21 years old, as the final novel takes place in 1949.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe[edit]
In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Susan is given a bow and arrows by Father Christmas, together with a magical horn which, when blown, brings aid. Susan shows her excellence at archery.
She and her brother Peter only discovered Narnia by chance when they stumbled into the wardrobe while trying to avoid Mrs Macready (the housekeeper of the house they were staying). However, Lucy had been there twice (she told Peter and Susan but neither of them believed her) and Edmund had also been there at the same time Lucy was making her second visit (which he denied had ever happened).
In the original novel, she is advised to stay out of the battle, however in the 2005 movie, she saves Edmund from being hacked by the White Witch's dwarf. Together with her sister Lucy, she witnesses Aslan's death and resurrection on the Stone Table. After the battle, she is crowned to the Radiant Southern Sun as Queen of Narnia by Aslan, and shares the monarchy with her brothers Peter and Edmund and her sister Lucy. She later becomes known as Queen Susan the Gentle. The period of their reign is considered the Golden Age of Narnia.
Throughout the book, Susan is the voice of caution and common sense, but is often too concerned with physical comfort. At the end, after a number of years in Narnia, she counsels against pursuing the White Stag, fearing the unknown transition she and her siblings all sense the pursuit might bring. Of all the Pevensies, Susan is the most content in positions of ease and comfort, and tends to advise the others to avoid anything unpleasant.
Prince Caspian[edit]
Susan's magical horn plays an important part in the adventures of Prince Caspian. The horn is an ancient relic given to Prince Caspian by his tutor, the half-dwarf magician Doctor Cornelius. When the Prince's life is threatened by King Miraz the Usurper, Caspian blows the horn and the Pevensies are magically transferred to Narnia from a railway station in England. Using the bow and arrows she has retrieved from the ruin of Cair Paravel, Susan proves her legendary prowess at archery by defeating Trumpkin the dwarf in a friendly competition. She is described as being enormously gentle and tender-hearted, being embarrassed to defeat the dwarf. Edmund, however, later describes her as "a wet blanket". She denounces Lucy's belief in Aslan's presence although she later admits to having known deep down that it was true. Aslan tells Susan that she has "listened to fears", but his breath soon restores her faith and she immerses herself in their adventures as deeply as in the first book. She later accompanies Lucy as Aslan revives the forest and river spirits of Narnia. By the conclusion of Prince Caspian, Aslan says that she and Peter will never enter Narnia again because they have accomplished what they needed to there.
In the 2008 film adaptation, Susan is seen in a brief scene (newly added for the film). Set in front of the Strand London train station before the children are drawn into Narnia by magic, Susan has an encounter with a boy who recognizes her and tries to chat her up. He comments on how he's seen her before and how she often sits alone. She replies that she likes being alone and gives the fake name "Phyllis" when the boy asks for it. Upon entering Narnia and meeting Prince Caspian, there is an obvious attraction to the prince and mutual flirtation ensues throughout the film, ending bittersweetly as Susan must leave Caspian and Narnia to return to Earth, but not before giving him a kiss and an embrace. Additionally, Susan has a more active role during the battle scene at the end of the story, being much more involved in the actual battle and is in charge of her own corps of archers. She demonstrates herself to be a capable combatant, slashing Telmarines with her arrows in between shooting them, as well as clubbing the Telmarines with her bow.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader[edit]
In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Susan accompanies her parents on a trip to America, while Peter is being tutored by Professor Digory Kirke, and Edmund and Lucy have to stay with their relatives, the Scrubbs. Susan is considered "the pretty one of the family", which makes Lucy insecure. Lucy is strongly tempted to recite a spell which she finds in Coriakin's magic book, which will make her beautiful "beyond the lot of mortals", and she pictures a plain-looking Susan jealous of her beauty - clearly hinting at a sibling rivalry not evident before. It is also mentioned that Susan is not very good at school work and acts old for her age (14 at the time).
In the 2010 film adaptation, Susan is seen in a few brief scenes (newly added for the film). She is first seen at the beginning of the film writing a letter to Edmund and Lucy. Later on in the film, Lucy steals from Coriakin's book the page containing the beauty spell, and one night recites the spell. Looking in the cabin's full-length mirror, she sees her self grown-up and beautiful, in effect becoming Susan. The mirror swings aside to reveal a society lawn party back in Lucy's world, and she steps through into the party to be joined by both Peter and Edmund, both of whom address her as "Susan". When she tries to remind them about Narnia, to her growing horror, neither of them seem to know what she's talking about or know anything about a younger sister named Lucy. Lucy then wakes up back in the ship's cabin and is confronted by Aslan about what she has done, Aslan instructing her not to judge herself by the standards of others, and reminding her that it was only her actions that resulted in her siblings becoming aware of Narnia in the first place.
The Horse and His Boy[edit]
In The Horse and His Boy, set during the Pevensie siblings' rulership of Narnia, Susan plays a minor part. She is described as a gentle lady with black hair falling to her feet. Shasta finds her to be the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. It is implied that Susan is quite close to Prince Corin of Archenland following the death of his mother, being a motherly or sisterly figure to him. As Queen Susan, she is asked to marry the Calormene Prince Rabadash. She finds him gallant when participating at tournaments in Narnia, but tyrannical and repelling in his own country. The prince intends to take her also by force; her rejection and subsequent escape from Calormen would lead the Prince to seek the secret approval of his father, the Tisroc, for his plan to attack Archenland, as a means of capturing Susan, and in the hope of conquering Narnia at a later date. Interestingly, in "Wardrobe" it is Lucy who is mentioned as being constantly courted by foreign princes.
The Last Battle[edit]
In The Last Battle, Susan is conspicuous by her absence. Peter says that she is "no longer a friend of Narnia", and (in Jill Pole's words) "she's interested in nothing now-a-days except nylons and lipstick and invitations." Similarly, Eustace Scrubb quotes her as saying, "What wonderful memories you have! Fancy you still thinking about all those funny games we used to play when we were children," and Polly Plummer adds, "She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age. Her whole idea is to race on to the silliest time of one's life as quick as she can and then stop there as long as she can." Thus, Susan does not enter the real Narnia with the others at the end of the series. It is left ambiguous, however, whether or not Susan's absence is permanent, especially since Lewis stated elsewhere that:
The books don't tell us what happened to Susan. She is left alive in this world at the end, having by then turned into a rather silly, conceited young woman. But there's plenty of time for her to mend and perhaps she will get to Aslan's country in the end... in her own way.[4]
In his Companion to Narnia, Paul F. Ford writes at the end of the entry for Susan Pevensie that "Susan's is one of the most important Unfinished Tales of The Chronicles of Narnia", but adds in Footnote 1 for that entry:
This is not to say, as some critics have maintained, that she is lost forever ... It is a mistake to think that Susan was killed in the railway accident at the end of The Last Battle and that she has forever fallen from grace. It is to be assumed, rather, that as a woman of twenty-one who has just lost her entire family in a terrible crash, she will have much to work through; in the process, she might change to become truly the gentle person she has the potential for being.
Fantasy author Neil Gaiman's 2004 short story "The Problem of Susan" depicts its protagonist, Professor Hastings (who strongly resembles an adult version of Susan), dealing with the grief and trauma of her entire family's death in a train crash, as she is interviewed by a college literature student regarding her opinion on Susan's place in the Narnia books.[5] Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling has also commented on the same issue:[6]
|There comes a point where Susan, who was the older girl, is lost to Narnia because she becomes interested in lipstick. She's become irreligious basically because she found sex. I have a big problem with that.
Since the publication of Gaiman's story, "the problem of Susan" has become used more widely as a catchphrase for the literary and feminist investigation into Susan's treatment.[7][8]
- In the 1979 Warner Bros. TV movie adaptation, she is voiced by Susan Sokol.
- In the 1988 BBC production, Susan is portrayed by Sophie Cook.
- In the 2005 Disney film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Susan is portrayed by British actress Anna Popplewell in child form and Sophie Winkleman as an adult. Popplewell reprised the role in the 2008 film The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. Her role in the movies are similar to the book, playing a somewhat pessmistic and at times over protective character. However, Susan is portrayed as a warrior queen, whereas in the books it was stated that she did not care for battles. Susan also develops an attraction to Prince Caspian in the film, and gives him a kiss before she leaves Narnia; this had not been included in the book or the BBC adaptation. Popplewell again reprised the role in the 2010 film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader for two scenes: one, in which Susan is seen in America writing a letter to Edmund and Lucy, and another in which Lucy, by reciting a stolen spell, has literally become Susan.
- In the 2005 audio dramatization, Focus on the Family Radio Theatre cast David Suchet's daughter Katherine as the young Susan, while Sally Ann Burnett played her as an adult.
- In Epic Movie, Susan is played by Faune Chambers.

Couples swooned on the dance floor and cuddled in carriage rides afterwards beneath a starry October sky. All In all, It was a perfect night (or the mysterious and hauting magic of love. OUtNN JACOBSONWf SIGNPOST ... ?JW QUiNN JAC06SON W SIGNPOST Wilderness conservation sparks heated debate Lecturer says wilderness designation could cost $ 13 billion and 33 WO jobs By Paul B. Johnson Managing editor of The Signpost As evidenced by the reaction of the crowd to a guest lecturer opposing additional federal wilderness designation, the wilderness debate is not out of the woods yet. One audience member accused A. Grant Gerber of telling "half-stories," while another shouted, "How many new Sequoias have come up?" before storming out of the room. Gerber, a WSC alumnus, represents Wilderness Impact Research Foundation, a Nevada-based group supported by ranching, agriculture and oil-industry interests. The lecture was presented as an Open Hour forum Thursday. "There's a conflict in American society right now between conservationists and preservationists," Gerber said. Preservationists, he said, include groups like the Sierra Club, Earth First! and Greenpeace, whose policies in affect advocate "no jobs" and "non-use of the land." Meanwhile, conservationists, such as the lumber and oil industries, provide a stronger economy and allow management of wildlife and environmental resources, he said. "In this room, if you look around, everything that you see and touch, everything that you use," he said, "were somehow provided by the people on the conservation side." Dr. Samuel Zeveloff, chair of the WSC Zoology Department, attended the lecture and said he felt Gerber's differentiation of conservationists and preservationists was inaccurate. "1 was unhappy with many aspects of Gerber's presentation," he said. "There are many Preservationist groups, such as the Sierra Club and Greenpeace, advocate "no jobs" and "non-use of the land." A. Grant Gerber Wilderness Impact Research Foundation conservationists who favor more wilderness ... there is no real separation."Zeveloff called Gerber's arguments "inaccurate and misleading" and "biased to begin with." Zeveloff is the co-editor of a book studying the impact of wilderness issues in the western United States. Gerber discussed current legislation under consideration that would set aside 150 million additional acres beyond the nation's existing 90 million acres of desig-, nated federal wilderness as much land as California, Nevada and Utah. One advocate is Utah Rep. Wayne Owens. Once land is designated as wilderness, there are strict laws against motorized travel, which includes outlawing the use of helicopters below 2,000 feet, as well as chainsaws or similar mechanical implements, Gerber said. In addition, agriculture and grazing use suffers, he said. "The federal government is buying land at an awesome pace, spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year to buy additional private land to put in the federal domain," he said. He read several affidavits (See GERBER page 12) Removal of food tax may lower state revenue By Donna O'Steen Staff writer of The Signpost Utah voters will decide on Nov. 6 whether or not they'll take the initiative to remove state food tax. Patrick Shea, attorney and former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and Michael Levitt of the state Board of Regents met Oct. 16 in Salt Lake City at the Cathedral of the Madeleine to debate the pros and cons of the proposal. "Guns are being held to the public's head," Levitt said. If a decision isn't made, then government officials "will blow up higher education," he said. "It's tax policy terrorism." Initiative A would remove tax on "any food product for home consumption except alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and hot foods or hot food products ready for immediate consumption," according to an August report compiled in part by the Utah State Tax "Guns are being held to the public's head ...It's tax policy terrorism." Michael Levitt Utah Board of Regents Commission. The report also estimates that the removal of food tax would result in a $1 13 million loss of revenue for fiscal year 1990-91 . In addition most higher education and state agencies, which are funded by the state General Fund, would lose revenue. The General Fund is primarily supported by state food tax. Levitt said he is opposed to the the initiative and would like to see the food tax removed for the benefit of the poor but not for others that the tax targets. Levitt contends that some people believe that "food tax is a way to pay education costs for families who have many children." "There is nothing more remediating for the poor than higher education," he said. Some, especially those without any children, consider this an unfair burden, he said. However, Levitt added that only less than four percent of Utah families have more than four members. Rather, he believes the sales tax is a fair tax because everybody pays. According to the tax commission's report, families who make $5,000-20,000 a year, 28 percent of the state population, bear 32 percent of the sales tax burden. The largest tax burden, 34 percent, falls on those with an income of $20,000-40,000, who make up 39 percent of the population. Levitt said that nobody wants to talk about taxes and somebody is going to be upset no matter what tax is advocated. "One hundred percent of the people will agree that there is something wrong with taxes," he (See FOOD TAX page 12) News 2 Clinic offers child care to students and faculty Sports O Weber loses Homecoming heartbreaker I I:

|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

text: Avon slips four places this year due to declining perception, while its sustainability performance was impacted by increased energy and water use intensity and less transparency about engagement with policymakers. Despite this, Avon's corporate responsibility efforts continue to advance, and it scored higher for increased disclosure around use of LCA (life cycle assessment) in product development, and for disclosing quantitative data around its green product portfolio. Determined to narrow its gap between performance and perception, Avon started a corporate responsibility blog in June 2012 titled "Avon's Calling," discussing topics such as deforestation and water conservation. The company is following through on its Green Building Promise announced in 2011 by opening LEED-certified buildings around the world. Its LEED gold certified headquarters in New York, which opened in 2011, exceeded targets set for the building, including a mandate that 15 percent of the construction crew be comprised of women. Avon opened a distribution center in Colombia last year, dubbed the "Avon Eco-branch," that is the first LEED gold certified building in the country. The company has also committed to the Avon Paper Promise, which sets a goal to produce its brochures using 100 percent recycled paper by 2020. Avon is well on its way, reaching 80 percent use of recycled paper in 2012. The cosmetics giant continues to foster the Avon Foundation for Women to fight breast cancer and domestic violence. Avon plans to publish a CSR report every two years and is due for a report in 2013. It will be interesting to see how Avon measures up to the goals it has set, and what plans the brand announces for its future in corporate sustainability.

'Women's Issues': A Dangerous, Insulting, and Sexist Message
Semper Quaerens
we give up too easily
i work as an ob/gyn nurse and daily treat young women with stds, worrying about whether they are pregnant or not and dealing /w the emotional upset over lost "love". it seems that so many teens go into sexual relationships not aware of the psychological and spiritual consequences.it almost feels that parents are saying "as long as the teens don't get pregnant, well, than what can we do? they're all doing it. times have changed" actually, times have not changed. kids are still not equipped to deal with the fall out of having sex so young. Birth control, and abortion are not remedies to this issue. Obama's ad clearly shows he has not consulted anyone who works in women's health (marketing for PP doesn't count) Excellent article, Anne !
If having control over one's reproductive organs includes the right to harm someone else, does that go for men too? Suppose I said, "You as a woman will never know what it's like to have to choose whether or not to rape someone, so mind your own business and leave that choice to me." I think you might respond that my assertion of such a "right" is leaving someone out of the equation: the victim.
Kat O, I think Anne is making the point that we women are so much more than merely our reproductive parts. And of course every woman has the choice to have sex outside of marriage, a right to birth control, and the privilege to pay for it all themselves: both the cost of the birth control as well as the consequences of intimate encounters without intimate commitment.
Why aren't men's reproductive parts huge campaign issues? They get prostate cancer and need prostate screenings. Why aren't they whining -- uh, campaigning -- for someone else to pay for these screenings and to pay for all the condoms they want?
what. the. flippin. what.
this is a really strange article... it's not like "women's issues" were something Obama made up. my reproductive organs and rights to control them have been debated a lot recently, which is why there SHOULD be a huge push for "women's issues." and they're called "women's issues" because men don't have to worry about getting pregnant or dealing with PMS. the right to have an abortion is A HUGE ISSUE, a women's RIGHTS issues, and there is a candidate threatening to take it away. to dismiss women's right to birth control as a way to encourage sex means you're turning a blind eye to women who make a different decision about sex than you. (not to mention that abstinence-only programs have been proven to be ineffective.) she's incredibly demeaning to women who do choose to have sex before marriage (OH NO!!!). and the FIRST thing i saw when i clicked on her "obama's women's rights issues" link was a video about EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK. and there are parts about expanded healthcare for women to include cervical cancer screenings, and mammograms, which men don't have to worry about, which is why they are called "women's issues." but she doesn't even mention ANY of that. i really find this article ridiculous and as a christian woman, i'm embarrassed of it. i'm not criticizing her decision to pick romney, just that THIS is the way she defends her candidate: belittling women's rights.
