Fargo, ND (Sports Network) - Terell Parks went for 13 points and 15 rebounds as the Western Illinois Leathernecks took care of the North Dakota State Bison, 49-36, in a low-scoring Summit League showdown at Bison Sports Arena.
Adam Link netted a game-high 14 points for WIU (19-5, 11-2 Summit), which has won three straight contests. Ceola Clark added 10 points and five assists for the Leathernecks.
TrayVonn Wright and Lawrence Alexander had 10 points each to lead the Bison (19-7, 10-4), who shot just 28.3 percent from the floor. NDSU lost for the second time in its last three outings.
NDSU went into intermission with a 22-17 edge after holding the Leathernecks to just 33.3 percent from the field in the first half.
WIU shot 58.8 percent in the second half while limiting NDSU to only three field goals in 22 attempts (.136). The Bison managed 14 second half points, their lowest total for a period this season.
WIU outrebounded NDSU, 35-28, and improved to 7-6 all-time over the Bison.

Following Info-communications Development Authority (IDA) of Singapore's conclusion of its review of OpenNet's Interconnection Offer (ICO), IDA has issued some specific directions regarding installation capacity and service activation periods among others. The IDA's directions on installation capacity are in-line with OpenNet expectations and consistent with the increases in installation capacity that OpenNet has been planning. OpenNet will increase the current installation capacity from 2,400 to 3,100 per week effective August 2012. This increase in installation slots includes a dedicated 40 slots per day for the non-residential segment.
In addition to its regular installation capacity and in response to market demand, OpenNet has also been increasing installation capacity on a temporary basis to accommodate the spikes in demand for fibre installation slots that occur around the quarterly I.T. shows. These seasonal increases in connection capacity will continue to supplement the new weekly quotas.
In conjunction with its increase in installation capacity, OpenNet will be rolling out a marketing programme to Service Operators to improve uptake of fibre connections in the non-residential sector. The programme includes an effort to leverage on the resources and relationships of Service Operators with the building management of non-residential buildings to secure access and fibre penetration into non-residential premises.
Since the announcement of our 100,000th fibre subscriber in January this year, OpenNet's subscriber base has grown by an additional 50%. In the month of June 2012 alone, OpenNet added over 15,000 subscribers to the Next Gen NBN. OpenNet expects fibre connections in Singapore to more than double from the January 2012 base by the end of this year.
OpenNet is committed to supporting the growth in demand for fibre services and will work closely with the IDA and all of its customers and stakeholders to continue to build Singapore's Next Generation National Broadband Network into a world-class fibre network.
About OpenNet Pte Ltd
OpenNet is responsible for building, managing and operating the world's first nationwide all-optical fibre platform, which is the key foundation of Singapore's Next Gen NBN. Next Gen NBN is designed to be an ultra-high bandwidth, resilient and scalable state-of-the-art optical fibre network that is capable of delivering speeds of 1Gbps and above to homes, offices and premises around Singapore.

What The Papers Say - 3 September
All the deadline day activity features in Tuesday's dailies.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
Tuesday's newspapers reflect on a frantic transfer deadline day, with much of the evening's activity taking place at Goodison Park.
Most of the nationals managed to file their copy soon after the Blues had confirmed the signings of James McCarthy, Romelu Lukaku and Gareth Barry as well as the departures of Marouane Fellaini and Victor Anichebe.
As such, today's editions are awash with the news from Finch Farm, with the likes of the Guardian, the Times and the Daily Express praising the Club's late dealings.
Elsewhere, the Liverpool Echo profile the new trio and talk in length about the comings and goings on Merseyside.
The Echo also report on Everton Under-21s' Monday night victory over Reading while there's the news that former Blues winger Robert Warzycha has been sacked by MLS side Columbus Crew.

my quest to become a better girlPosted: April 27, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
as my intensive job-searching has turned up nothing, (and by intensive job search, i mean sitting on the world wide web for 5 hours a day looking at pictures of cats and sending out, on average, two resumes per week, and when my mother asks me if i have found anything interesting, just being like "no, not really. i just want something creative, i don't want to be a secretary!") i have decided that maybe i'm among those who just weren't meant to work.
i wouldn't consider myself a feminist by any stretch of the imagination, and i don't think anyone who knows me well would either. some might even go as far to say i set us back when i open my mouth to speak. but i can't help it! i don't understand, who DOESN'T yearn for the days when nothing was expected of us?
i've been watching mad men recently (the first season, when it was still cool), and joan the busty redhead keeps being like, "oh, these men! i wish we were equal!"
STFU joan! you know what your "job" is? your job is to look smokin' and stand around an office. occasionally get drunk at work and deal with everyone making comments about how they would like to hit that. why can't that be my job? i would totally do that! i could be great at that! and peggy? that bitch gets to write copy! if she does well it's like, "oh wow, peggy, you really are a special girl." if she sucks it's like, "oh well, we should have known, back to the typewriter with you!" there is literally no pressure. no way to lose. and you don't even have to have a job! most chickadees are just chilling out at home waiting for their men to come home, cooking pot roasts and shit! where is that on monster.com?
i also present for your consideration my other favorite girly indulgence, downton abbey. those bitches don't have to do anything! they sit around in, essentially, a castle, and give orders to servants. so you have to marry some dude that you aren't totally in love with. boo-motherfucking-hoo. it is called maintaining a lifestyle, bitches, and you have to make sacrifices. why you gotta be a nurse? why you gotta learn to drive a car? just sit happily in your castle and do needlepoint you crazy wenches!
anyways, since i have pretty much determined that i will not do well in an office environment where they actually require me to work, i have decided to focus on my domesticity. i want to say that it is bad form to settle down and have kids purely because you are too lazy to do anything else and this seems like the easiest way out, but…i won't.
so, in my quest to become permanently stay-at-home-under-any-circumstances, i've decided to really focus on trying to become the person that i present myself as on pintrest. and i think maybe this really is making me a better person. i'm definitely more helpful around the house, because every household chore or problem is a way to show off. you've got too many scarves and need a practical yet creative way to store/display them? hmm, i think i have an idea!
so far i've cleaned out my whole room in order to make a "craft space" for the many creative and life-changing things i plan on doing in the future.
i've also covered all the light-switches and outlets in my room in washi tape. this was actually almost accidental. i read on a blog about a girl doing this to her laptop with washi tape. "THIS," i said to myself, "THIS is the way to make my macbook stand out once and for all during the next trip to starbucks!" riding on the wave of endorphins brought on by my own self-satisfaction of my personal creativity, i rolled over to target, only to find that they only had one variety. am i going to do my laptop in only one pattern? fuck no! then it doesn't resemble a charming quilt, see? it would ruin the whole vibe! now i'm stuck with this weird tape that was too expensive to use as actual tape. i COULD order some off of esty, but i just don't know if i'm ready to commit to that level of creative crafting yet. i don't know if i could handle actually having an esty account. but, i digress.
for my cousin's 21st birthday, i was put in charge of wrapping her gift. keeping with the new theme of my life, i wrapped it in brown packing paper WITH TWINE AND BUNTING DETAILS. really doesn't get more crafty-pintrest-esty-shitty-shit than that.

MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS Estate 2001‑2007
66 owner reviews for MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS Estate 2001‑2007
What a car!!!!
MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS C320 Elegance SE 5dr Auto (Review date: 18th March '14)
C320 elegance SE estate
Owned the car for approx two years now. When purchasing I went to the garage to view a C200 diesel but it had just been sold but then saw the 320 petrol at the same garage. It had all the extras but I was apprehensive about how much petrol it would drink. The car had very low miles and a full one owner history.
I returned the next day and purchased it, I'm so glad I did it has sailed through two MOT's and only required new pads during a service. It's so comfortable to drive and has munched through miles on trips to Europe. Yes it's not the most economical but as I've not had any issues with the car I can cope with that! If thinking about buying make sure it has a good history and we'll cared for and you'll have a luxury car with great performance for little money.
My best car ever
MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS C180K Avantgarde SE 5dr Auto (Review date: 29th January '13)
I've own this car for a few years and to be honest, it is by far the most reliable car I have ever had. It is my 14th car and no problems whatsoever (unlike my previous Saab 9-3 TiD), apart from normal wear like tyres, brakes pads and stuff like that. It is very comfy and it's so quite inside, sometime I wondered whether the engine was still running. The auto gearbox is definitely compulsory on a Merc, it doubles the comfort. If one day it comes to get a new car then I will go for another Mercedes, no doubt... If you are looking for one like this, go for the facelift model 05 on as the previous ones tend to rust. It is really worth the price I paid for it at that time even if I though it was a bit exaggerated compared to a Ford, but there is no comparison at all.
MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS C270 CDI Avantgarde 5dr (Review date: 15th October '12)
I've owned the Merc for 6 years now and I'm still not bored with it...!Build quaility is good ,Ive done 150k now and the dash still dont squeek, Performance is great, particilarly at overtaking speeds with fuel cons at around 43 mpg overall (computer says more but its a little optmistic I think. Only criticisum is suspension..allready replaced all the springs,and theres one gone again,however all the parts ive bought have been cheaper than bits for my last motor (peugeot)Overall a good motor,and when I swap ,it will be another Merc.........
very nearly a sports car diesel
MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS C320 CDI Avantgarde SE 5dr Auto (Review date: 4th October '12)
I think the Estate shape it is very pretty. Cubanite Silver is a great colour. Looks like silver under a Caribbean sunset.
Get it with the SatNav because the TV screen gives the cabin an upmarket feel rather than the plasticy looking dotmatrix readout radio you get as standard.
The Satnav also gives a readout about the junction ahead on the main dash board which is safe and useful.
Electric leather heated seats =yummy. The heated seats automatically reduce in temp after a while, assuming you have warmed up, then they turn themselves off.
Cruise control can also be set as a speed limiter so you can still use your foot on the throttle pedal but it restrict your top speed. Very useful on country lanes( when you're; dare I say, a bit tired).
Space is fine for adults in the back, and comfortable too.
Paddle shifts on an auto might seem like an attractive gimick, but very useful for changing down on single carriageway roads in preparation for overtaking.
I drive mine mainly on single carriageways and the overtaking is proper fast, shocks passangers that think they are being given a lift in a boring diesel. Even cold it does not sound like a taxi , which is nice. When in full shouting mode it sounds terrific.
Handling and ride seem good to me not too firm not too sporty.
Tyre wear is fine. Main dealer costs are acceptable. Difficult to work on yourself because there are no workshop manuals even from the States which is irritating, but DIY info can be found on Owner's Forums.
Lifetime mpg just shy of 34 and that is mainly on fast country roads.
Motorway trips can be as high as 50mpg.
Will only replace this car with something very special.
A driving pleasure
MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS C220 CDI Avantgarde SE 5dr Auto (Review date: 24th April '12)
I drove this car for three years and is the best car I've owned for the overall driving experience. It was a joy to drive on long journeys, particularly on trips down to the Alps and over to Le Mans. Economy was good for an auto, very comfortable and quite engaging to drive. Load lugging capability was impressive.
Running costs were reasonable for a car of this type and spares were generally not too expensive. The only negative point is that it seemed to get through suspension components too regularly. Given that the majority of driving was on good roads and motorways, there were too many times roughness and judder were tracked down to worn bushes.
Overall I really enjoyed my experience with this car.
Disapointing level of faults let's it down
MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS C270 CDI Avantgarde 5dr Auto (Review date: 6th February '12)
Lovely car to drive, especially on long motorway runs, but have been unlucky with faults. Had since new and had normal ware and tear attention e.g. discs, pads, etc, but many other faults:
- Several suspension bush replacements
- High pressure fuel pump failed (and took dealer 2 weeks to replace!!)
- Parking break continually sticking
- Excessive wear on front nearside tyre (had laser tracking a couple of times but was told "they all do this"
- Heater control flaps broken. Simple £30 part replacement but £800 labour cost so I'm living with no heater for now!
- Finally rusting quite badly now on wheel arches and several other places. It's never been in a prang so original build quality was bad
Economical & reliable for a good sized automatic estate
MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS C220 CDI Avantgarde SE 5dr Auto (Review date: 19th January '12)
We needed a comfy, relatively economical, roomy, reliable and practical estate, as my wife uses a wheelchair & we use a lot of luggage on holiday! This diesel Merc was exactly what we needed. It's a bit expensive to service and insure, but holds its value really well. We had to deal with some rust on the wheel arches and bonnet, but I think this is par for the course with this model/age.
I get around 38 mpg on average, which is great for an auto estate. We bought it at 117K (8 yrs old) and it's got to 134K with few problems. I love the extras like cruise control, electric seats and very smart auto lighting, and the smooth, powerful engine (despite the relatively high mileage).
Economical Luxury
MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS C220 CDI Avantgarde SE 5dr Auto (Review date: 19th January '12)
The Mercedes C class diesel estate is a class act, being thoroughly adaptable to whatever you want it to be.
About the only thing it isn't is a sportscar, but make no mistake it is no slouch having a 2.2 litre diesel engine and it will return 50+ MPG on a long motorway run, during which with auto gearbox and cruise control it is very easy to let the car take the strain.
I wanted a large estate to carry the occasional large or odd shaped luggage. The boot is huge and if that's not big enough there are the roof rails which take cross bars to increase the luggage capacity.
I wouldn't be without a diesel estate and the Mercedes Diesel Estate with Auto gearbox is at the top of the class!
Great car for long distance travel, economical on short trips too
MERCEDES-BENZ C CLASS C220 CDI Avantgarde SE 5dr Auto (Review date: 19th January '12)
I downsized slightly from an older 7 seat estate, but I need a car which provided good economy and was comfortable for long drives. On some weekends when I collect my daughters I have to drive 220 miles, each way, which is nearly 900 miles on a weekend just to see them and bring them home.
The car easily fits 4 adults plus luggage for airport trips, gets over 45 mpg on a fast motorway drive, and is extremely comfortable for driver and passengers.
The boot is not the largest in class, but meets my needs well. There is plenty of passing power, and unlike the E class it replaced, sets off very briskly from a stop. The sport option is very worthwhile - no roll going around fast corners and great braking, and if you want to you can play with the steering wheel up-down-shift paddles.
The main downside to the car? My wife wants to use it all the time instead of her Golf...

Citizen's guide to fancy pants coffee drinks
In the same spirit of the original coffee drink infographic from a few years ago, Plaid Creative describes the perfect pour, or as I like to call it, the citizen's guide to fancy pants coffee drinks. At its root, its a series of pie charts where each wedge represents the percentage of ingredient in a given fancy pants drink. But the subtle stylings make it look so much more delicious, from the pattern fills out to the mug-like border.
[via thisisnthappiness]
28 Comments
You are missing one crucial entry: Café Brutal – Coffee without cognac… ;-)
I think I prefer the style of graphic that shows the cups side-on, it can illustrate the relative volumes of some of those drinks more clearly. Ugly example here: http://www.eatallaboutit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/coffee.jpg
Oh, and as an Irishman I should point out that there's a bit more to an Irish Coffee than just coffee and whiskey – you need fresh cream and brown sugar too.
Really excited to note that there is a cup of YuaYang!. A Hong Kong original!
I know this is a little tongue-in-cheek, but I shall criticise it regardless.
1. I believe the guide would work much better with percentages rather than (super) complicated fractions, being basically a 'sexy' pie chart.
2. The units used must be consistent. I don't know hat a half and half is…
3. Define 'cup'.
Finally, are there *really* cups of coffee with alcoholic beverages in them?
Yannis, "half and half" is a dairy product and not a measurement. It's one part milk to one part cream, and in the USA one buys it in the dairy section of a grocery store.
My first response is to also want the recipes depicted from the side, so as to show a better sense of volume – as I did this same thing while working in a coffee shop right out of college. But if you think about it, In many cases it isn't necessary (e.g. if you make an Americano in a 4oz. mug or a 32oz. jug, it doesn't change the ratio). However, some of the recipes could arguably benefit (e.g.the Carajillo would need more than a single shot if you were to use a larger container and therefor a larger 'part' of espresso).
I also think there is some confusion between the written components and the illustrated in some examples (e.g. the Eiskaffee neither explains in the writing how much of each ingredient, nor does the illustration adequately explain which portion belongs to which ingredient; particularly the sweetener)
• I agree on the percentages over fractions, though I am willing to admit that it is partially a personal choice as I think…
• …the units are generally consistent. In as much as a 'part' can be consistent. Half & half isn't a unit, it's an ingredient. In the United States at least, 'half & half' is typically an equal mix of milk and cream, pre-mixed and sold in stores. Admittedly a possible issue internationally.
• Without any further clues, we could take cup literally, as a unit of measure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_(volume)
Lastly, of *course* there are cups of coffee with alcohol.
i like the graphics even though they totally ignore the size of the vessels that type is usually served in. which is highly irritating.
and the recipes.. i wont comment on those, because cooking is a very local thing. and coffee is even more special – just as a reference, here is what i call a Café Latte: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/grubernd/8030374 – selfmade and i usually have at least two of those per day. :)
There's yet another similar infographic about halfway down The Oatmeal's humorous "15 Things Worth Knowning About Coffee"
Wow, what a popular topic for such graphics!
This is an awesome idea!
One thing though, what you have down as The Cafe Latte is actually Cafe-au-Lait, which is entirely different.
A Latte is 1/3 espresso, 2/3 steamed milk, topped with foamed milk.
With a little work and a few corrections you'll make a fortune selling this as a poster…
Glad someone else noticed that. :)
If you're going to go to all the trouble of making the graphic look pretty, why on earth would you not check the spelling before publishing?
Either translate it all into English, or spell the Italian (e.g. "caffè", "triplo") correctly.
For all you pie chart haters… It's not a pie chart. It's supposed to be a coffee cup, see the handle. I do wonder how many people short-circuited to pie chart hating and disregarded the authors attempt. At first, I know I did, but I like the coffee cup attempt because we mostly see our coffee by looking down into the cup – like the graphic.
Sure, we don't see what it looks like, but I give the author props for trying.
On a different note:
I moved to Australia for a year and they do not have drip coffee/percolator coffee/standard American coffee except in a few places. They have an espresso machine w/ all the variations and The Long Black and The Flat White are the daily "coffee". One year later, I still didn't get over that culture-shock.
Great post! Now I have a guide when I go to coffee shops that has far too confusing coffee names. Sometimes the baristas are too busy to explain to me the coffee contents, so this is a big help. Time to put my cup coffee maker to rest and head out to Starbucks. Thanks for the help
A macchiato in this part of the world is a shot of espresso, 'stained' with milk (usually steamed).
They manage to break out two acute accents and a tilde, but they can't bother to put the rest of the accents in or fix "I part milk tea"? Do they take no pride in their work?
i want this as a big A1 poster to put on my wall in respect/adoration!!! for the artist, and for all things derived from our friend the coffee bean!!!
Ah, yeah, barista here, worked on three continents. The majority of the ratios/definitions here are wrong. I don't understand why – the research surely not hard to do, and the creator is clearly not untalented, so…?
It's also not a real logical way to do it, because the recipes of espresso-based drinks start with the espresso. 1 or 2 shots of espresso, and then various amounts of steamed milk/foam/hot water.
Alcohol is also usually measured in standardised shots.
all of which is a pity because the chart is pretty!
Also, I'm not sure what is meant by the fractions – eg. Americano: 1/2 espresso, 2/2 hot water? does that mean the cup overflows? Or that the first of two parts is espresso, the second of two parts is hot water – but then some of the others don't make sense…
New theory:
There are too many distinct types of mistakes for this to just be sloppy work: graphic errors, typographic errors, factual error—you name it, it's here. This must be a nerd snipe by Plaid Creative.
Thanks EVERYONE, we appreciate the corrections.
Several variations on recipes have been floated to us from all over. We will try to incorporate as many as possible into a happy medium soon.
Either way, thanks for the interest in our design, we'll be having them printed in the near future. You can check back with our blog if you'd like to see our progress or get a copy.

Pingback: Coffee Spoons › Coffee Flavoured Coffee
Wow, interesting. Just saw this on a design blog. But, as my comment still holds, a cross-post is in order:
As per the many comments on the site, there are quite a few errors, unfortunately. And it's pretty far from informative, as the same ingredient changes colors across drinks. Note the top-left three (Americano, Basic Black, & Caffe Latte) for an easy example.
Visually interesting, but doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
Pingback: Ideetjes « Hoe kan iks…
i mostly just browsed the comments, so if i repeated anything, sorry, but…
what is described as a latte, is actually a cafe aulait, what is described as a cappuccino is actually a latte, and pretty much so is the flat white. and a long black is described as an americano, but it's different. wikipedia can set you straight.

Are Mixtapes More Profitable Than Albums?
Wiz Khalifa
Wiz Khalifa is a superstar, but most of the fan base he enjoys today latched on to his movement based on hearing his mixtapes: whether it's the early Prince Of The City series, his How Fly collaboration with Curren$y, or his magnum opus free release, Kush & Orange Juice. Though the Pittsburgh rep has insisted that his Atlantic Records debut Rolling Papers was the direction he wanted to go in, many felt that it was a poppy derailment from his relaxed, smoke-hazed collections. Even now, his followers seem to flock to new tapes like Cabin Fever and last year's Taylor Allerdice.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I hardly ever find anyone less than 20 on horde side, and the few that are under 20 usually say something along the lines of "My main is a (pick an alliance race and insert here)".
I can see this post breaking down into pandemonium right now.
I feel like being a horde character does give you a right to feel superior. The alliance has an advantage given to low lvl characters in that they have 3 zones, beyond the starting zones, that are alliance dominated with no horde town whatsoever (Redridge Mountains, Loch Modan, Duskwood). On PVP servers, this gives alliance characters zones to lvl to around 30 in with little horde interference. The only zone similar to this for horde is Thousand Needles, which has a high-lvl alliance flight path right on the border with Feralas, and also the easiest path for alliance to take to get to Tanaris.
When a horde character hits 20, the zone with the best quests/rewards is hillsbrad, which on PVP servers turns into a ganking ground. On PVE servers, you still have to compete with alliance characters for quest mobs.
Then of course theres the population imbalance that gives the alliance a larger population on most servers. Larger populations mean a better chance of good players in guilds, which indirectly means they end up with better gear, giving horde players a further disadvantage when facing off in PVP.
I started horde because I had friends who played horde, and obviously, as a noob, I wanted their help. The few alliance characters I have started turned me off to alliance completely because the starting zones always seem to be overcrowded. And asking for help in an alliance zone usually ends with nothing but aggitation.
I'm happy to play horde, and looking forward to killing alliance on my new character on a PVP realm.

London Lovefest
The planets aligned for last night's launch of Opening Ceremony's pop-up shop in Covent Garden. It wasn't simply that it didn't rain. (Believe me, that is such a rare and precious moment in London this "summer" that it can't be overestimated). Nor was it the fact that this opening ceremony was exactly one week ahead of that other opening ceremony, which a global audience of one billion viewers will allegedly be transfixed by. No, the feeling of sheer at-oneness-with-the-world was all about the long-standing lovefest between Humberto Leon, Carol Lim, and London. It may be Paris—and Kenzo—that have their attention these days, but OC was promoting Britfash long before it reached its current boiling point, and a small army of local talent—Erdem, J.W. Anderson, Mary Katrantzou, Nicholas Kirkwood, Peter Jensen, Louise Gray, Henry Holland, Husam El Odeh, plus honorary Londoner Delfina Delettrez—turned out to pay its respects at the pop-up, the celebratory dinner in Chinatown, and the after-party at Madame JoJo's.
For designers James Long, Christopher Shannon, and Lou Dalton, Leon and Lim were their original ambassadors in the U.S., so they're like family. But the whole evening felt like a family affair, with Humberto's mom Wendy making sure everyone was seated and eating at the Golden Dragon, and his sister, nieces, and nephews taking in the mariachi band, and the hula-hoop goddess Marawa's eye-watering performance. London nightlife legend Jeanette m.c.-ed dinner in a rainbow of Meadham Kirchhoff sequins. Later, at Madame JoJo's, Manhattan's drag star and rapper Mykki Blanco performed. Exactly the kind of cultural exchange that makes Opening Ceremony so unique.
The pop-up lasts three months till the permanent OC outlet is ready a little further down King Street. Seventy-five percent of the stock is exclusive to this one store (there's one very fetching group of bandana-inspired Adidas sportswear), and 25 percent is Olympic-inspired.
Speaking of the other opening ceremony next Friday, Leon and Lim will be attending as guests of Adidas. But first it's back to Paris, where they've done seven collections for Kenzo in their first year. Is that all? No wonder they had the spare time to open their own store in London.

Programming | News
A company that sells a software development platform for non-coders--including students--is turning to project funding source KickStarter to generate the funds it needs to convert its code to open source. LiveCode, from Edinburgh, Scotland-based RunRev, allows a user to create applications by dragging components onto a canvas, scripting the application by attaching objects, and using English-language to define activities. Once the code is created, the company said, the program can be run on desktops, mobile devices, and servers running MacOS X, iOS, Android, Linux, and Windows. Company founder Kevin Miller said he was inspired to create the successor to HyperCard, which was his first programming tool before it was discontinued by Apple
The program is popular in K-12 computer classes because it requires no real programming background. For example, Cyril Pruszko, a science teacher at Prince George's County Public Schools is using LiveCode with his ninth graders in a daily computer class. According to Pruszko, after starting the students on "conventional" programs--Hello World and figuring out the area of a rectangle--he teaches them about how to create moving players, use graphics, detect collisions, and other activities they need to turn in a maze game by the end of the week. In four to six weeks, he reported, the students create a live action game with at least three levels of play, a splash screen, and instructions, and, he added, "it has to be fun, challenging, and playable."
LiveCode has also gained popularity in schools in Scotland. According to Steven Whyte: a computer teacher at Gracemount High in Edinburgh, "Since using LiveCode, we've seen a huge increase in the uptake in the number of pupils wanting to take computing."
So far, the company has generated £290,769 from 1,718 backers, with 57 hours to go to raise another £60,000. If the full amount isn't raised, the company can retry it with a different monetary goal.

Ken Liebeskind over at Clickz.com is reporting that CNN.com is testing longer in-stream video ads. On inauguration day, a 60 second ad for Starbucks appeared in a video featuring President Obama's speech.
It should be interesting to see the results of the test, especially for a news organization. The inauguration wasn't exclusive to CNN. About the only thing I'll wait for is an in-stream ad while I'm watching a TV show online. And that usually only happens on the rare occasion when I'm trying to record too many shows at the same time on my DVR, which can only handle two tuners at a given time.
But how should the results be interpreted? It's hard to imagine that a longer ad would increase conversions, but many advertisers might use in-stream ads as branding anyway, especially since that's what television advertising (the "other" video advertising) is primarily used for.
CNN is in prime place to conduct this testing. Last spring, they led the field in news video searches, beating Google (and YouTube), MSNBC, Yahoo and MSN.com.

Hard Times
We have an interesting match up today that can only lead to some intense sex as we pair up one of the South's finest men Brandon Lewis up with MenOver30's ultimate 'Man of Intrigue', Mr. Brenn Wyson. These two have quite the fan following. Brandon, the 26 year old with that Southern charm, amazing smile, and thick ol dick, and Brenn, the 38 year old with that defined bod, larger than life personality and the ability to register tremors on seismometers whenever he pounds ass. It just can't get any better than this. They have a lot in common, both loving music from the 90's and liking to go out and dance too. In recent developments, we are pleased to announce that Brenn has actually explored the art of receiving. �It's an every now and then hobby but it hurts; but if you're gonna do it, you gotta do it right� Hmmm. Who knows we may just get to see that for ourselves.

Food Assistance:
Readmitting Private Nonprofit Sponsors into the Summer Food Service Program
RCED-91-82: Published: May 23, 1991. Publicly Released: May 23, 1991.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed legislative provisions readmitting private sponsor participation in the Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Summer Food Service Program, focusing on: (1) the Food and Nutrition Service's (FNS) and state agencies' compliance with the legislative requirements; (2) private sponsors' program participation and compliance; and (3) issues that could present problems for the program.
GAO found that: (1) FNS issued the required implementing regulations and provided states and FNS regional offices relevant materials needed to train sponsors; (2) the two FNS regional offices and five state agencies that GAO visited carried out their required recruiting, training approval, and monitoring activities; (3) FNS monitored all 190 approved private sponsors in the 1990 program; (4) as of March 1991, FNS had not completed its analysis of private sponsors' compliance; (5) all of the 10 private sponsors GAO reviewed made errors, but their frequency and seriousness varied, with such errors ranging from failing to include required civil rights notices in sponsor advertising to recording meals without providing supporting receipts; (6) overall, FNS disallowed reimbursement for 8,700 of the 46,200 meals served, of which 8,400 failed to meet milk program requirements; (7) FNS believed that many errors could be attributed to sponsors' lack of experience, but it was too early to determine whether some sponsors consciously committed those errors; and (8) meal recipients' unusually low attendance, meal recipients' sustained low attendance, and sponsor overstaffing could result in financial difficulty or over-reimbursements.

Dayton Now Prepares To Govern Amid A Bevy Of Challenges
On the day Minnesota's overtime race for governor ended, the losing candidate, Republican Tom Emmer, came off as relaxed, playfully ribbing reporters and daring them to try out his backyard hockey rink. The winner, Democrat Mark Dayton, struck an almost somber tone, cracking just a few smiles as he talked in stark terms.
Maybe it has to do with the difficult task ahead for Minnesota's governor-elect: wiping out a projected $6.2 billion budget deficit with his main proposal already declared dead on arrival from new Republican majorities in the Legislature.
"I feel mindful of the awesome responsibility that has been entrusted to me by the voters of Minnesota," Dayton said. "It's a momentous day for me, and it's also the first day of now this undertaking that will be even more challenging than the last two years of the campaign."
Republican Tom Emmer's concession Wednesday officially makes the deficit Dayton's to handle. Emmer abruptly halted a recount process nearing conclusion and ruled out suing over the election that left Dayton with an 8,770-vote win out of 2.1 million ballots.
Behind the serious veneer, Dayton and Democrats were celebrating the return to an office that has eluded them for 20 years.
"His victory is all the more impressive when you consider that he won in a tough climate," said Democratic Governors Association Chairman Martin O'Malley of Maryland. The DGA spent $1.5 million on the race, steered through independent groups.
It all becomes more real for Dayton on Thursday, when departing Gov. Tim Pawlenty meets with him about the upcoming transition. A private tour of the governor's mansion is also in the works.
As governor-elect, Dayton will have access to a state office and a $162,000 transition budget.
Dayton lost a month for making key hires and orienting himself to an executive branch that he may try to reshape. While his transition team has been vetting possible commissioners, none has been formally selected and probably won't be for days. He said he aims to name a chief of staff by week's end.
"No excuses," he said. "We'll be ready."
The budget work will consume his first year, starting when the Legislature convenes in January.
Republicans hold the House and Senate for the first time in modern history. They have made clear they oppose the new governor's campaign pledge to tax the wealthy to solve the deficit.
Incoming House Majority Leader Matt Dean previewed the battle ahead, saying the upcoming legislative session is likely to be as challenging as the election.
"With fewer Democrats in both bodies, it's clear there is a firm bipartisan majority in the Legislature that will again reject job-killing tax increases," Dean said.
Dayton appealed for his new co-workers to commit themselves to finding common ground despite their political differences.
"You were elected on your platforms and principles; I was elected on mine," Dayton said of Republicans at his first news conference his victory. "I believe the collective wisdom of the electorate is that they want part of what each of us offers."
As Emmer stepped aside, he was giving up a fight that threatened to keep Pawlenty in office beyond the planned Jan. 3 inaugural. Emmer said he had no interest in dragging out a race he couldn't win.
"It's time to stand up and say we need to move on," Emmer said outside his house in Delano, adding. "I don't take it personal. For me, it's business."

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is losing one of it's most popular hellraisers. After five seasons of catfights, breakups, makeups, and births all in front of the Bravo cameras, Kim Zolciak is reportedly leaving the show.
According to Us weekly, the "Tardy For the Party" singer, who is seven months pregnant in current episodes, will exit mid-season. Her decision comes after an epic battle -- but not with whom you might expect.
"Kim has a total blowout with production," a source told the magazine. The argument began after costar Cynthia Bailey invited all the women to Anguilla for her vow renewal but the pregnant Kim was unable to attend. Her chat with production about it escalated into a huge fight. "Kim was furious," added the insider.
During a November 2011 interview, she had said, "I want positivity around me." Not much of that among her so-called "friends" on that show. "With these ladies, I feel like nine times out of 10, there's going to be an argument," she told Us. "They're not happy for me. They're not supportive."
I can't blame her for bowing out. From the start of the series, she has been in the middle of some of the nastiest fights. Whether her wig was being yanked off or her singing mercilessly ridiculed, it hasn't been an easy road for Zolciak. Her decision to leave is probably her smartest move yet. Finally she can stop being humiliated on TV - that is until she gets another spin-off.
Do you think Kim should leave the show?
Image via Bravo
She should have her own game show: How Many Times Can I Drop the F-Bomb? or Guess My REAL Age.
I really do think she is in her early 30's. She had Brielle when she was 18, and Brielle is just about 16 now. That's what smoking does to you.
I just want to know what the hell Kim does for a living to have had ALL the furniture in storage. 10 $5k Versache plate settings? Kroy only makes $1 million a year...
Yes her own show........."How to be a rich person with no talent, no education, no skills and no clue!"
I don't hate but you must admit if this woman fell into a barrel of dicks she would come out sucking her thumb! She has wealth from prior "sugar daddies" and for getting paid an assload of cash to be on this non-reality show, and she even made over $80K from that stupid song.
I stopped watching this show 3 season's ago when it was disclosed some of the scenes were re-shot and some were scripted. It seems Kim's new gig is pushing out babies for a soon to be retired football player that will not be able to support her.............we'll see!
Finally trash mouth is leaving and taking her diva attitude with her. No talent except for breeding kids. Poor Kroy!
I like said good bye KIM and I am so happy to see her leave. and I think we all will have fun wacth all those lady but need to go too
If Kim is leaving, this will free up another hour of my life each week. Kim is the only reason I still watch this show. B-bye RHWOA :)
your all just jealous haters wishing
The whole show sucks, and she has babies to take care of. Wish theyd just cancel this train wreck already!

Air pollution (Portugal)
Why should we care about this issue
- Topic
- Air pollution
Air quality is generally good in Portugal, with the exception of some agglomerations in the north and centre regions, Lisbon and the Tagus valley, where ozone and particle (PM10) pollutants represent an atmospheric pollution problem that needs to be tackled.
The Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning has worked extensively to improve air quality within the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA), in partnership with the Regional Coordination and Development Committees (RCDC) on the mainland and the Regional Environment Offices (REO) in the islands, in a joint effort between the various competent institutions in this area.
The state and impacts
Air quality evaluation in Portugal is compliant with Community legislation. The results are made available to the public on an on-line database (http://www.qualar.org/) using an air quality index (AQI) with a simple, easy-to-understand classification of air quality.
This index was implemented in 2001 and is calculated by area, using the average of the pollutants measured in the sites, including at least the following pollutants: nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3) and fine or inhalable particles measured as PM10.
In Portugal, the pollutants responsible for low and bad AQI were always PM10 and O3.
An analysis was made on the average number of days per site (urban and rural) in which air quality is low or bad according to the AQI, and it was noted that air quality has tended to improve in Portugal from 2005 onwards (Figure 1).
However, it should be noted that in urban areas with a higher population density and/or industrial installations nearby, the number of days on which AQI was 'Low' or 'Bad' remained high, whereas in 2008 there was a notable increase in the number of days on which air quality was 'Very Good' compared to previous years, in which this score was hardly ever achieved[1].

The ozone analysis, split between the urban and rural environment, was based on the progression of the average concentration relative to the long-term target by type of site from 2001, and showed values above 120 µg/m3 in both areas, with levels slightly higher at rural sites (Figure 2).

Annual concentrations of PM10 have tended to fall (Figure 3), in line with European levels, showing the effect of legislation limiting emissions of atmospheric pollutants[2].

Average daily PM10 concentrations in Portugal can be caused partly by transboundary movement of particles from natural events, particularly from the Sahara desert or forest fires.
Emissions of gases causing eutrophication and acidification phenomena in the atmosphere have fallen in recent years, reflecting Portugal's efforts to control and reduce emissions with a major impact on the natural environment.

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) gas is the main cause of soil and water acidification. Nitrogen oxide and ammonia (NOx and NH3) are the principal causes of eutrophication in many land and sea ecosystems, and also increasingly contribute to acidification.
A specific indicator called the Acid Equivalent is often used to evaluate the progression of acidifying and eutrophying substances. This indicator makes it possible to aggregate emissions of these pollutants, after each is assigned a specific weight.

An analysis of the National Inventory of Atmospheric Pollutant Emissions, published in 2009 and presented to the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP), shows the significant efforts made by Portugal to meet its commitments to reduce emissions of acidifying and eutrophying substances.
In 2007, such emissions fell nearly 25 % in relation to 1990 levels, mainly due to a 42 % reduction in SO2 emissions. This decrease, which was already evident in 2003, can be attributed fundamentally to the obligation to use low-sulphur fuels that came into force that year.
An analysis by type of pollution reveals that in 2007 SO2 and NOx were responsible for 39 % and 38 % of emissions of acidifying substances respectively, with the remainder caused by NH3.
The energy sector accounted for 31 % of acidifying and eutrophying substance emissions in 2007, followed by industry (25 %), agriculture (19 %) and transport (16 %). The waste and energy sectors experienced the most significant reduction in emissions compared to 1990 values.

The key drivers and pressures
The year-on-year increase in wealth production slowed down in 2000, although this was not accompanied by a proportional reduction in primary energy consumption. GDP then picked up once again in 2003. By 2007, GDP was 43 % higher than in 1990. Primary energy consumption fell from 2005 onwards, along with tropospheric ozone precursors. Despite everything, energy consumption in 2007 was 44 % higher than in 1990 (Figure 7).
The increase in GDP and primary energy consumption was greater than the increase in the tropospheric ozone precursor emissions indicator, showing a relative dissociation between wealth creation and the negative environmental impacts caused by such emissions (Figure 7).

Source: APA, 2009; INE, 2009; DGEG, 2009
This dissociation reflects the effort made to reduce these emissions. Nonetheless, it is vital to ensure implementation of the sectoral measures required to meet atmospheric emission reduction targets and to evaluate the impacts of the reduction measures on air quality as regards tropospheric ozone.
Tropospheric ozone is one of the pollutants that have contributed most to worsening air quality. One indicator often used to evaluate the development and trends in emissions of this pollutant is called the Tropospheric Ozone Forming Potential (TOFP). This indicator makes it possible to aggregate different emissions of these gases by attaching a specific weighting factor to them and measuring them in equivalent Non-Methane Volatile Organic Compounds (NMVOC) by mass (Figures 8 and 9).
Figure 8 Aggregate tropospheric ozone precursor emissions by sector of activity
Source: APA, 2009
TOFP indicator levels in Portugal have fallen in recent years, essentially due to declining NMVOC emissions. The sectors of activity that contributed most to tropospheric ozone precursor emissions in 2007 were industry (40 %) and transport (29 %). In the same year the contribution of industry and the waste sector to the TOFP indicator increased nearly 50 % in relation to 1990 with emissions from the energy and transport sectors falling most against the base year (Figure 9).

The 2020 outlook
The Gothenburg Protocol to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-level Ozone within the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) aims to control and reduce emissions of certain pollutants, for which emission ceilings have been established for 2010: NOx, NH3, NMVOC and SO2. It was ratified by Portugal in 2005.
The emission ceilings (in thousand tonnes per year) established under this Protocol for Portugal are as follows:
Emission levels in 1990
Maximum emission level in 2010
% Reduction in emissions for 2010 (Base: 1990)
-53 %
-25 %
+10 %
-68 %
The National Emission Ceilings Directive obliges Member States to develop a national programme for reductions of emissions of SO2, NOx, NMVOC and NH3. Decree-Law No. 193/2003 of 22 August 2003 set 2010 national emission ceiling targets as follows: 160 kt for SO2, 250 kt for NOx, 180 kt for NMVOC and 90 kt for NH3. The National Emission Ceilings Programme (NECP) was published in December 2002 to identify the measures to enable Portugal to meet the limits laid down by the Directive. The NECP was updated in 2006 and published in the Portuguese Council of Ministers Resolution No. 103/2007 of 6 August 2007.
The 2006 NECP estimates that the ceilings established for emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and ammonia (NH3) will be met. 2010 emissions are estimated at 133 kt SO2 (27 kt below the ceiling); 242 kt NOx (8 kt below the ceiling), 69 kt NH3 (21 kt below the ceiling) and 194 kt of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) (14 kt or 8 % above the ceiling).
NMVOC emissions are forecast to overshoot their established ceiling by 8 %. However, as this value is within the margin of error of the estimates, which are somewhat uncertain, no additional measures are considered necessary to guarantee respect of the ceiling.
Existing and planned responses
Air quality improvement plans have been drawn up in response to the results of the air quality evaluation, particularly in situations in which limit values are exceeded, and aim to apply sustainable options to achieve levels that guarantee the protection of human health and the environment in general.
Air quality improvement plans were approved in 2008 in the Lisbon and Tagus Valley Region and in the Northern Region in response to PM10 concentrations in excess of the tolerance level. These plans analyse the state of environmental air quality, identify sources of pollution and propose policies and measures to improve the situation by suggesting short-term actions to achieve the objective concerned.
The Portuguese Environment and Health Action Plan (PT-NEHAP 2008-2013), also approved in 2008, aims to improve the efficiency of policies to prevent, control and reduce environmentally-caused health risks, promoting the integration of knowledge and innovation, thereby contributing to the country's economic and social development, with air quality as a priority domain.
In 2004, the publication of the framework regulation, Decree-Law No. 78/2004 of 3 April 2004 on the prevention and control of atmospheric emissions, heralded a new scheme applicable to small facilities subsidiary to the specific legislation resulting from the transposition of Community Directives. These regulations, associated to the National Emission Ceilings Programme (NECP) and the National Emissions Reduction Plan (NERP) from Large Combustion Plants (LCP), led to the necessary actions/measures for implementing a consistent and harmonised strategy to combat atmospheric pollution.
Another fundamental instrument in this sector is the National System of Inventories of Emissions by Sources and Removal by Sinks of Atmospheric Pollutants – NSIESRSAP. This system is coordinated by APA, which is also responsible for drawing up the National Inventory of Emissions by Sources and Removal by Sinks of Atmospheric Pollutants (NIESRSAP) and for sending these to the appropriate Community and international institutions.
The legal framework for integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC) has also been updated. This establishes the framework for integrated prevention and control of pollution from certain activities (essentially large industrial activities) and sets measures to prevent or, failing that, to cut emissions of such activities into the air, water or soil, to prevent and control noise and waste production and achieve a high level of protection of the environment as a whole.

One of the best things about kids is that they're unpredictable and they have no filter. They don't play any games with you and instead tell you exactly what they're thinking.
One of the worst things about kids is that they're unpredictable and they have no filter. Yeah, it's kind of a blessing and a curse.
Whether they mean to or not, kids usually do a bang-up job of embarrassing their parents. I know mine do and I've heard plenty of similar horror stories from friends of mine.
You think your kids are being inappropriate when they refuse to go to bed or do their homework? Yeah, keep living in your parental paradise. I've compiled an appropriate list of 8 Inappropriate Things Kids Just Love Doing. Promise me just one thing, though. You won't let your kids read this article.
What inappropriate things have your kids accomplished?

My mom STILL makes me cover my mouth when I yawn. She thinks it's so embarrassing.
My husband's reaction 'Only 8?'
These REALLY get on my nerves. Especially #3
The worst I was ever embarrassed by either of my kids was when we were just starting home visits with our soon to be DD... She was 3 1/2 then and she and I were at McD's. She leaned over to the table next to us and asked the man sitting there, in an almost accusatory voice, "Are you a Jew?"
I don't know enough of her previous background to know what prompted the question, but the guy first stared at her, then glared at me obviously thinking I was instilling some kind of anti-Semitic hatred in an innocent young girl. He got up abruptly and left. I wanted just wanted to sink under the table.
My kids have done most of the things on this list over the years, I can look back and laugh, but boy that incident still, even after 12 years, causes me to shake my head.
One time at the grocery store my little brother asked some REALLY ugly lady "Where did you park your broom?" I grabbed his arm and ran, I didn't want her to use it.
A 10 year old should be old enough to not be rude. As for the rest of this list.

Boric receives World Cup boost

All Black lock Anthony Boric's World Cup hopes received a boost following the news he should hopefully be fit by mid-August if his recovery goes well.
Boric limped off during the Blues' victory over the Waratahs on Saturday with a mid-foot sprain. There were original fears the injury could require surgery and the 19-cap second-row could be out for six months, but team doctor Stephen Kara said the injury was 'moderate grade.' "Provided he is pain-free at the end of that period of time, then he will go on to a walk-jog programme, and aims to be back within six weeks," Kara said.
Boric will now be in a cast for two weeks, then in a moon boot and will definitely sit out the rest of the Blues' Super Rugby campaign. Kara refused to be drawn on Boric's World Cup prospects saying it would be 'purely speculative' at this stage. World Cup apart, the news of Boric's injury will come as a blow for Blues' coach Pat Lam.
Boric's injury adds to the long list of Blues' second-row casualties. Brad Mika, Liaki Moli, Filo Paulo and Kurtis Haiu have all succumbed to injury and Lam lamented their bad luck in the second-row department. "That's lock No.7 we've lost," said Lam. "It's a big loss. He's definitely out this week, and possibly longer."
Despite the bad news concerning Boric, Lam received some better news regarding his outside backs ahead of Saturday's Super Rugby clash with the Reds in Brisbane. Utility back Lachie Munro was injured in the act of scoring against the Waratahs, when he was charged into by Tahs' skipper Phil Waugh, but he should be back in full training by Wednesday. Joe Rokocoko looks set to return to training following a hamstring tweak and Rene Ranger is now over his hamstring complaint and will be in contention for Saturday's semi-final clash.
In other team news, Chris Lowrey looks set to partner Ali Williams in the Blues' second-row. Lam gave the 24-year-old his backing, despite Lowrey primarily being a backrow. "He knows the systems and everything. Lock is not his main position, but he will get in and do the job." Lam will name his side on Wednesday before the Blues depart for Brisbane.

The aerial walkways provided by interlocking tree branches provide a home for the rare and elusive hazel dormouse. In autumn they begin to prepare for their winter hibernation by fattening up on nuts and berries. Other than bats, they are the only other British mammal that truly hibernates over winter. When the temperature falls below 15 degrees Celcius, their metabolism shuts down and they find a secure, dry place to build a nest and sleep.

At LPA, sustainable architecture is our passion.
For more than 45 years we've been advocating the message that sustainable design can be achieved on any project, budget, building type and location.
Sustainability is the foundation of timeless design—design that transcends culture and trends.
This blog is a reflection of our approach—our approach to Integrated Sustainable Design.
Please submit post requests and/or ideas to ctarnow[at]lpainc[dot]com.
Peruse the latest edition of LPA Studies, a monthly magazine capturing the architectural design process from concept to creation.

Receiving one of the greatest individual honors from the American Institute of Architects (AIA), LPA Design Principal Glenn Carels, has been elected to the AIA's College of Fellows, joining President Dan Heinfeld, as the firm's second FAIA.
Spending his entire 29-year architectural career with LPA, Carels has racked up an impressive 54 national, state and component AIA awards for his design work over the years, in addition to serving the AIA's Orange County chapter in various leadership roles.
As a respected leader in the higher education sector, Carels is a well-known architectural design visiting critic, having served the University of Colorado, Boulder; California Polytechnic State University, Pomona; and California State University, Long Beach, to name a few.
"Glenn is sought after for his design expertise and commitment to higher education and is therefore asked by universities and professional organizations to teach and lecture about the importance of creating exciting learning environments that are informed by sustainability," states Heinfeld in his Fellowship nomination letter to the AIA.
"He's transformed outdated mid-century facilities into appealing destinations for today's digital learners," continues Heinfeld, "and garnered national awards from groups like the Community College Facility Coalition and the Society for College and University Planning (SCUP), in a sector with strict budget guidelines."
For example, Carels' design work on the Santiago Canyon College Library in Orange, Calif. – which features energy efficient Low-E glazing, skylights, perforated metal solar fins and the deep metal panel roof – garnered a total of eight awards, including a national AIA Committee on Architecture for Education Award of Merit, a national SCUP honor award, a National School Boards Association Citation of Excellence Award, and a couple AIA California Council/Concrete Masonry awards and AIA Orange County chapter awards.
More recently, Carels was recognized for his design of California State University Northridge's Student Recreation Center, Northridge, Calif., where he came up with an innovative approach to filling out a long and narrow site by reversing the typical stacking of spaces in order to enable the larger spaces, including the courts and jogging track, to benefit from daylighting and displacement ventilation up top. The LEED Gold facility was designed to perform 28% better than California's Title 24 energy code, and earned design awards from the AIA San Diego Chapter, Orange County Chapter, San Fernando Valley Chapter and the Pacific Coast Builders Conference.
"Glenn's rigor and personal commitment to providing the best our profession has to offer for these often unstudied programs and campuses is a powerful testimony to how design can change lives," wrote Heinfeld.
Reflecting upon his time with LPA, Carels relates, "it feels like a 'Greatest Hits' album, but I don't see this as the end, but truly the start of something even better. If I can learn more about this profession and be a better architect who serves the community that would be amazing."
Truly humbled by the honor, and desiring to share the credit with his colleagues at LPA, Carels will officially receive his new Fellowship distinction at the AIA's national convention in June.
"To have our clients and people who come to the buildings benefit from our ideas, is the goal" he says. "But to have my peers recognize my commitment to improving lifelong learning using sustainable design is the single greatest compliment I could ever ask for."
Glenn Carels, FAIA is a Design Principal at California-based LPA Inc. As the California State University system moves toward greener campuses, Carels has played a critical role in the implementation of their sustainability guidelines and initiatives. During his 29-year career, he's garnered 54 AIA awards for his design work in Higher Education facilities.
