Last week the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed new guidelines designed to curb the rampant over- and misuse of antibiotics on factory farms: 80 percent of all antibiotics bought in the United States are purchased to give to farm animals, primarily to speed their growth and prevent illnesses that would otherwise spread like wildfire in their unsanitary, crowded conditions. Daily doses of drugs are propping up an inhumane factory farming system and contributing to growing antibiotic resistance among humans, threatening people's lives as well.
The FDA now acknowledges that antibiotics should not be used to make animals grow faster, which is important, but the new guidelines are voluntary and the same drugs can still be used for "prevention" of illness. Factory farms wouldn't need to prevent disease so much if the animals were kept in better conditions. But pharmaceutical and agricultural industries have an economic interest in producing as much product, as cheaply as possible, often at the expense of animal welfare, and routine doses of antibiotics are perpetuating this sick system.
As an example, most of today's chickens raised for meat spend their lives in giant, windowless sheds where they have less than 1 square foot of space each by the time they are full grown. Breeding for disproportionately large breasts and excessive body weight means they struggle to stand or move. Essentially immobilized in their own waste, chickens raised on factory farms could be at higher risk of carrying Salmonella and other foodborne illnesses. Antibiotics stand in for these birds' compromised immune systems and allow the meat industry to continue to cut corners dangerously. Farm animals and consumers alike need stronger action from the FDA.
The ASPCA joined forces with a number of animal welfare organizations to issue a statement on the announcement. Learn more about factory farming and what you can do to help improve the lives of billions of farm animals by checking out our web pages and joining our advocacy brigade.

Michael Schumacher was at a loss to explain why he lacked the pace needed to make it into the pole position shoot-out in India...
Michael Schumacher was at a loss to explain why he lacked the pace needed to make it into the pole position shoot-out in India.
The seven-time World Champion, who is bidding farewell to F1 at the end of this season, will line-up 14th on the grid at the Buddh International circuit.
However, his lap time in qualifying - a 1:26.574 - left the German perplexed as it was only a tenth quicker than his best from FP3 despite it being set on a low fuel load.
"We had a tough qualifying session today and I cannot yet really explain why, particularly when I compare the times to what I did this morning," he said.
"In practice, we were able to run similar lap times with much more fuel in the car but, for whatever reason, we were unable to get the tyres into the right working window and generate enough grip this afternoon.
"That means I am starting from quite an unpromising position tomorrow, but it also makes our tactics much simpler: we have to look forward and battle hard."
But while Schumacher didn't make it into Q3, his team-mate Nico Rosberg did, although the German did not set a lap time.
Explaining the decision not to run, he said: "In terms of our strategy for the race, it was better for us not to run in Q3 as it should give us a better pace tomorrow with fresh tyres.
"Of course it's not a nice feeling to be waiting in the pits and watching the others out there however.
"It seems that the race will be tough on the tyres with very long stints, so I should have an advantage compared to the cars in front of me.
"I'll be able to tell you tomorrow if it was the right decision but I'm reasonably happy today as we looked like we have made a small improvement here."

Midwest Living Review
The love affair with Ike still flourishes in his central-Kansas hometown of Abilene, where townsfolk lined the streets whenever their war hero and president returned and flanked the route one last time when Ike was buried here in 1969. The Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum stands testament to what Abilene meant to Ike and what Ike meant to Abilene and the world beyond. Self-guided tours of the 22 grassy acres and five buildings, four built of Kansas limestone, should start at the visitors center and its orientation film. It's a short walk to the Boyhood Home, a 19th-century house on its original shady site, where Dwight, his five brothers, parents and grandfather all lived. Galleries at the Eisenhower Museum tell this small-town boy's remarkable story, from his Abilene days to his military heroics to his presidential legacies. Artifacts include a desk given by the Shah of Iran, submachine guns in his Army's arsenal, the D-Day planning table and other items representing a life once unfathomable to the family living in the simple house next door. The Eisenhower Library is a working research library, with no general admittance to research areas but with spaces for impressive temporary exhibits. A bronze statue of Eisenhower in his familiar World War II jacket stands in the center of the grounds facing the Place of Meditation, a limestone chapel where Ike, wife Mamie and a son are buried. Plan to spend two hours to see it all. Admission charged.

Drama, Musical
For this film adaptation of Peter Shaffer's Broadway hit, director Milos Forman returned to the city of Prague that he'd left behind during the Czech political crises of 1968, bringing along his usual cinematographer and fellow Czech expatriate, Miroslav Ondricek. Amadeus is an expansion of a Viennese urban legend concerning the death of 18th-century musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. From the vantage point of an insane asylum, aging royal composer Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) recalls the events of three decades earlier, when the young Mozart (Tom Hulce) first gained favor in the court of Austrian emperor Joseph II (Jeffrey Jones). Salieri was incensed that God would bless so vulgar and obnoxious a young snipe as Mozart with divine genius. Why was Salieri--so disciplined, so devoted to his art, and so willing to toady to his superiors--not touched by God? Unable to match Mozart's talent, Salieri uses his influence in court to sabotage the young upstart's career. Disguising himself as a mysterious benefactor, Salieri commissions the backbreaking Requiem, which eventually costs Mozart his health, wealth, and life. Among the film's many pearls of dialogue, the best line goes to the Emperor, who rejects a Mozart composition on the grounds that it has too many notes. Amadeus won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor for F. Murray Abraham. In 2002, the film received a theatrical re-release as Amadeus: The Director's Cut, a version that includes 20 minutes of additional footage.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Miley Cyrus's new cover art for 'Bangerz.' alt=
The "We Can't Stop" singer revealed the cover art for her much-anticipated album, "Bangerz" on Saturday night via Twitter and captioned her tweet, "you know the vintage YSL don't stay on for long."
In the cover art, the 20-year-old songbird is standing with her back turned in a black romper and is rocking red lipstick and her signature slicked-back hairdo. She's posed against a palm tree-filled background with a peach, pink, and purple haze and the words "Bangerz" emblazoned in a pink neon sign. The cover art definitely pays homage to the '80s and almost resembles Pat Benatar and Blondie in their early days.
Later, Cyrus barraged her Instagram account with photos of her new album. She even took a snap of the album sitting alongside a teddy bear in what looks like her seat at the MTV VMAs at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The popstar is set to perform at the awards show tonight.
Her new album, which hits shelves October 8, is already available for pre-order on iTunes and is clearly a big hit with her fans. Her latest single, "Wrecking Ball" just topped iTunes charts this morning according to Cyrus's Twitter account.
#WreckingBall is #1 on US iTunes!!

Video – Concannon Conservancy Crimson and Clover with John Concannon
3 Responses to Video – Concannon Conservancy Crimson and Clover with John Concannon
This is the wine that introduced me to your winery. So very fine! Bought a case right away. I appreciate your heritage and stewardship of the land. I have visited CA 2 times and love it! I adore SF/Muir Woods/Nevada City/Sequoia Nat.Forest/Yosemite, and much more. Protecting this fragile and lovely ecosystem(s) is a passion of mine. Now, so is your wine! Missouri has NOTHING like CA! Love, Peace and Conservation,
Crimson and Clover is delicious blend. Nice body but not overpowering at all. A great effort . Keep it up!
This is my favorite wine. My previous favorite was another red blend, Menage a Trois Red from Folies a Deux. An employee at my local wine purveyor, Haskells, in the Twin Cities, expressed it perfectly: "Yes, Crimson and Clover is like Menage a Trois Red, except richer and smoother." I met Jim Concannon when he visited my local Haskells in Bloomington, MN several years ago, and I still have an autographed bottle of Concannon 2003 Syrah that I'm saving for a very special occasion.

How animation educators see things
For a long time I've had strong feelings that what students are learning at many of the top animation schools / programs in the country are all about prepping their prospects for opportunities in the studios and pretty much nothing else.
Work for hire is the overall mentality behind these programs with little to no attention on the things going on outside of the status quo system.
My suspicions have been well founded as of late. I'm part of a large group of educators nationwide that receive communications from each other concerning news and topics of interest relating to teaching animation. Some very distinguished individuals in the field have been sharing their views about how best to prepare students for the studio based job market.
In all the discussion, there has been very little to no attention paid to anything outside of this paradigm.
I'd like to share some of the communications I've received. I won't be identifying the authors nor the schools they're at, but it will give you a good idea as to the mindset of the contemporary educators community and how they see things in terms of preparing their students for professional careers.
I'll follow up soon.
Re: How animation educators see things
Here's where it starts...
Hi, all,
I would be interested in opening up the discussion here to see what your thoughts are. Pres. Obama has created a score card for American universities that grades us for cost, graduation rates, loan defaults and job opportunities. Are colleges and universities outside of the US under the same pressures?
Should we be focusing on making sure students get that first job to pay the loans or build the creative capital to be directors, or award-winning artists one day? I suspect most of us walk a fine line trying to reach a balance between industry and art in our curricula. I'd like to hear your approach.
Are the pressures of employment affecting how we teach? Some animation programs focus first software and current skills while others stress lifelong learning. What is the best balance?
Re: How animation educators see things
This is among the first responses and the only one that even mentions something outside of studios...
If I can, I'd like to suggest the question be broadened a bit, or enhanced.
In addition to "first job or last job," we should also be asking should we be training students for studio jobs, or for the plethora of animation jobs that exist outside the studio system? Should the education be oriented toward traditional studio jobs, or have a broader focus, allowing animators to earn a living doing what they love without ever setting foot in a feature studio?
Re: How animation educators see things
Here's a follow up at length...
My experience has shown that you teach the highest level of the industry and allow the students to follow their career paths from there.
While in Ireland coordinating / teaching at the European School of Animation, we had the greatest successes when we taught at a feature animation level and then let the students "filter" down into their animation careers be it feature, TV, interactive, independent, etc. The Don Bluth Studios bought the curriculum from Sheridan and developed it from there.
Of course, the reason we took this tack was because the unemployment rate was at 33% and our brief was to train people for jobs.
Now Ireland has a thriving animation community embracing all areas of of animation - feature, TV, interactive and independent films in 2D, CG, Flash, stop-motion, etc. Their work was showcased this year at the Annecy Animation Festival and their TV work in May by Animation Magazine. Everyone in Anim. Mag. was a former student from the school.
You start with the artistic and animation fundamentals and build from there. The Gobelins School in Paris is the best current example of a program. They learn the fundamentals and layer the software on top - not the other way around.
I have also found that incubator studio projects where students are "cast" according to their skill levels have been very helpful for the participants to learn the pipeline and gain valuable experience and confidence.
The Brits still have a challenge with this concept their over 200 animation programs and only 4 or maybe 5 are actually geared toward professional skills.
Re: How animation educators see things
Here's another response...
I suspect that whether we train students for the first job or their last, we should teach them the skills that will allow them to succeed in the field and industry of animation.
For community colleges that means giving students the foundational information (the principles of animation) for being good animators; using both traditional methods and modern CGI, software based fundamentals. The secondary job of community college is to give students a taste of specialized jobs and software. Allowing them to become familiar with the more advanced, specialized parts of the animation industry.
For 4 year institutions it should mean continuing that specialized knowledge and giving the students the touchstone into the industry in the form of internships.
In my mind, whether I am teaching students for their first or their last job is irrelevant. I am teaching students to tap into their potential to be the best animators they can be; regardless of when or where their life journey will take them.
Re: How animation educators see things
Here's another thoughtful contribution to the discussion...
When in doubt, I think about my professors, who, I believe, taught to the last job. It's kind of like what ... said, "...teach them the skills that will allow them to succeed in the field and industry of animation." Period.
For-profit schools like the one where I currently work are four-year schools that tend to have a community college population, so it is a little frustrating sometimes to have students who lack skills and who may be in school only because their parents want them there (therefore also lacking passion for the field.). Nevertheless, when they're in my classroom, I expect them to create the kinds of work that will get them studio jobs when they get out. I don't like to watch people throw tuition money down the drain.
Re: How animation educators see things
A rare insight into some of the behind the scenes politics of animation schools...
The school where I teach, as some of you know, is kind of the culprit in all of this -- the reason for the scorecard that has been created by the president.
The issue went something like this: Admissions reps would sell student loans to people who didn't quite know what they were getting into. The corporation who owned the student loan company also owned the schools. Students who barely made it through high school get into these for-profit schools that have virtually no admissions requirements. (No art portfolio required, only a 2.0 GPA, no SATs required...). These students would skim through their programs, graduate by the skin of their teeth, and of course not be able to get any kind of job even closely related to their field, and would default on the loans, and that burden fell upon the taxpayers. So the government sued Education Management Corporation (owned by Goldman Sachs.)
Now this school is telling students to write their congressmen and tell them to not pass the Gainful Employment law, saying that the government is trying to take away students' choices, when really that law protects students from the above-mentioned practices.
And of course the school's way of cutting costs is to lay off all their full time faculty and rehire them as adjuncts, which does hurt the quality of the education. (Undermining the morale and loyalty of the faculty.)
A bit off subject -- forgive me -- but thought y'all might want to know the reason for the pressure.
Re: How animation educators see things
As I reviewed the comments I posted above I realize that there's more topical activity in regards to alternatives such as being independent, but not much is expounded in that direction. But progress is being made judging from some of these educators' thoughts.
At my school, The Animation Academy in Burbank, our discussions are very balanced in terms of studio employment, work for hire situations, developing a client base, and taking advantage of the crowdfunding phenomenon in regards to personal projects and launching original content. In many ways we are and have been way ahead of the curve in addressing issues and situations that other schools delve into lightly or not at all.
In any case, I hope you find this interesting and helpful. If you're a student at an animation school and you feel you're not getting all the info you need to make solid decisions about your career and the paths that are available to artists today, consider challenging the conventional thinking with some non-conventional discussions. You'll be better for it and I'm sure your colleagues will appreciate the incentive.
Good luck to all and of course... Keep Creating! That's the ticket to success no matter where your journey leads you.
Re: How animation educators see things
Thought I'd add some new comments that have come in concerning the topic of how animation educators see things...
I think the question is:
How do we prepare them for their first job?
How do we give them the skills that will allow them to keep current and employed through their last job?
I agree that good drawing, design, storytelling and animation skills are essential. But what is difficult is getting their technical skills and 3D animation skills to a high enough level to get hired. Teaching them to research, find the relevant online sites and self train will allow them to keep jobs. (as well as learning to be a nice person.)
Steve Hickner has a great section in his book on the ideal employee - high skill, low maintenance. How do we teach to that value?
I'm not sure the industry is changing as quickly as it used to, but I think, upon the ability to generate "reality" and the increasing complexity of the images, the question is how do we get them (the students) there in the same brief time that they have in school. That to me is the harder challenge. That and an increasingly older, experienced and talented workforce available to compete against.
I still say that if we continue to teach them good drawing, design, storytelling, and animation principles, they can adapt to software changes and general changes in the industry.
Re: How animation educators see things
More viewpoints from educators...
First jobs are the first step on the ladder--and they are never the last. If students are only taught to minimum standard, they will never achieve more. It is best to have the training for the future.
There is of course this annoying issue that without a first job, there will be no others. But yes, we should definitely avoid teaching only button pushing which almost ensures that the first job will be the last.
I hope this essential discussion will be well documented for people unable to attend this years conference.
(Thanks to AN it will)
I don't think teaching just button pushing is ever and educational goal for me - but I guess there are places out there that do that. To be honest, there was a time that would get you your first job but not anymore.
I think we should always be teaching the art of animation, not a specific method or software.
Re: How animation educators see things
Educators' comments keep on coming...
I could not agree more. Here at our college we teach the fundamentals of animation; both traditional and computer. In the short 2 years a student is with us we want to make him or her a lifetime learner of animation. We hope to infuse the passion to create; not just what a student can learn from a DVD or web tutorial.
Re: How animation educators see things
The conversation continues with some of the top animation educators in the field...
I am approaching my 39th year anniversary in the industry. I can tell you that students who do not learn animation/artistic skills are hampered from the start. Software is not that important. Studios teach or update software all the time. They do not teach animation or art. They will offer classes to keep skills sharp but that's it.
Some folks talk about how important it is to be creative... a person with more artistic/animation skills is in a much better position to be creative.
Another comment from an educator...
The only studios that teach software anymore are the ones that have proprietary tools in their pipeline. The industry is no longer like it was 20 years ago, where if you had animation skills a studio would hire you and teach you Maya/Max/Softimage/whatever. There are too many good artists out there who also have the technical/tools skills, and students schooled only in traditional techniques are at a disadvantage. The best programs strike a balance between teaching animation technique and skill and software skills.
I've had plenty of students who had completed "art skills only" programs and were phenomenal artists, but couldn't find a job because they didn't know how to use Photoshop, or Maya, or Flash, or whatever. Heck, even using a Wacom tablet is a necessity these days.
A tools-only program also doesn't serve the student well - knowing which button to push doesn't help you at all if you don't know when or why to push it. But any program that doesn't train their students to be at least minimally functional in the software tools they will encounter every day on the job is just as big a disservice to its students.
Re: How animation educators see things
More shared thoughts from educators...
You are right... there should be a balance in their education. A teacher/ school should always examine industry practices and needs and then determine how to proceed (if they want their students to get jobs).
The Gobelins School in Paris is probably the best example of an extremely effective 2D program that has morphed in the best CG program. They teach the student 2D/ artistic skills and then layer the CG on top. This approach allows the students to learn how to animate, embrace and internalize the fundamentals before learning technical aspects.
Re: How animation educators see things
There's a lot of official talk about being an employee. The use of the word "balance" is ironic considering the utter lack of balance of perspective.
I get it too. Old programming is hard to get rid of...without the "proper training"...hahaha
More independent thinkers will lead the way. People who want to fight for this new employee go for it...Seems like they are setting us up for even more abuse...Hey man, there's always more people to take your place. Lets keep those monopolies in place. More desperate people means more competitive bottom lines. Win Win for...well, not everyone....for a few no doubt. Getting the students ready to kiss their toes.
Re: How animation educators see things
Tends to be one sided doesn't it. I've noticed that for a long time. The educational influence is heavy on getting a job within the system. Not much there in terms of developing an Independent Economy or taking advantage of alternative approaches to content creation and revenue generation.
A lot of people are succeeding in ways other than work for hire situations.
On the other hand, salaries in general at the studios here in town are at an all time high. Artists are making big bucks working as employees. A friend stopped by yesterday and told me what his new gig is paying. I can understand why artists would want to go that route.
Still, the one point perspective in the halls of academia are not entirely serving the best interests of their students. Check out what a group of teenage artists were able to do with a crowdfunding campaign that wrapped up just a couple of hours ago...
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/grim ... card-game/
While their contemporaries are hard at work trying to get that studio job and dealing with massive student debt, they're already creating on a professional level and making money.
If a 17 year old artists is this successful with their own property through a crowdfunding campaign imagine where they'll be at 25.
The artists being trained for work for hire will come knocking on their door looking for a job.

A developer is going back to the drawing board for the third time after the county rejected its plans for Gaithersburg's Towne Crest community Tuesday.
The developer, Towne Crest Apartments LLC, has presented plans for the redevelopment of the 8-acre parcel off Washington Grove Lane in Gaithersburg.
About 100 townhouses and apartment units, built in the 1960s, occupy the site now. Developers are seeking to build more than 300 units on that space, but need the parcel to be rezoned first.
The developer requested in 2011 and 2012 that the parcel be rezoned to a higher residential density, but community opposition and planning board concerns defeated their applications. In January 2013, the current plan was presented.
The County Council denied the plan June 27. The developer asked the council to reconsider their vote, but also sought to withdraw their application retroactively. The developer could not be reached for comment.
The plan came before the council at a Tuesday meeting, where they decided not to revisit their decision.
Jeffrey Zyontz, a legislative attorney with the county, had cautioned the council that reopening the topic for consideration might set a precedent.
"If this type of post decision 'do over' is allowed, it will be requested again in the future," he wrote to the council.
County hearing examiner Lynn Robeson wrote a letter to the council explaining the developer's rationale.
"The request is not in the public interest because it does not ask the Council to 'reconsider' its decision on the merits; rather, it is made solely to avoid statutorily mandated waiting periods on re-filing a zoning application," Robeson wrote in a July 3 letter.
Towne Crest Apartments LLC, represented by law firm Linowes and Blocher LLP, wrote to the council that circumventing the 36-month waiting period between zoning applications "would better serve the public interest" because the property is in need of "revitalization."

Employers have long recognized that conducting due diligence on new hires is a mission critical task. Firms cannot afford to be sidetracked by employee problems such as workplace violence, theft, false resumes, embezzlement, harassment or trumped-up injury claims. Employers can be sued for negligent hiring if they hire someone they should have known, through the exercise of due diligence, as dangerous, unfit, dishonest or unqualified.
In this week's episode of The Proactive Employer, we'll be talking with Les Rosen about the top 10 trends and best practices for 2013 when it comes to background checks and safe hiring. We discuss the use of social networking sites, the EEOC approach to the use of criminal records and credit reports, international background screening, resume fraud, dealing with temporary workers, privacy and off shoring of personal data, and tools to protect against workplace violence. We wrap up the conversation with some legally compliant best practices to keep businesses productive and out of court, as well as steps businesses can take immediately to avoid a bad hire.

Interpretive Handbook
9278 :
Centromere Antibodies, IgG, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Centromere antibodies occur primarily in patients with the calcinosis, Raynaud phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasis (CREST) syndrome variant of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). CREST syndrome is characterized by the following clinical features: calcinosis, Raynaud phenomenon, esophageal hypomotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia.(1) Centromere antibodies were originally detected by their distinctive pattern of fine-speckled nuclear staining on cell substrates used in the fluorescent antinuclear antibody test.(2) In subsequent studies, centromere antibodies were found to react with several centromere proteins of 18 kDa, 80 kDa, and 140 kDa named as CENP-A, CENP-B, and CENP-C, respectively.(3) Several putative epitopes associated with these autoantigens have been described. The CENP-B antigen is believed to be the primary autoantigen and is recognized by all sera that contain centromere antibodies.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluating patients with clinical signs and symptoms compatible with systemic sclerosis including skin involvement, Raynaud phenomenon, and arthralgias
As an aid in the diagnosis of calcinosis, Raynaud phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasis (CREST) syndrome
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
In various reported clinical studies, centromere antibodies occur in 50% to 96% of patients with calcinosis, Raynaud phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasis (CREST) syndrome.
A positive test for centromere antibodies is strongly associated with CREST syndrome. The presence of detectable levels of centromere antibodies may antedate the appearance of diagnostic clinical features of CREST syndrome by several years.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Centromere antibodies have also been described in some patients with primary biliary cirrhosis, and may occur in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or lupus erythematosus.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
<1.0 U (negative)
> or =1.0 U (positive)
Reference values apply to all ages.

NEW YORK — On the second day of the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) conference, the delegations of several European nations seemed determined to prohibit the government of any nation from violating any regulations imposed as a part of the ATT.
Switzerland took the lead on this effort to revise Article 3 of the proposed gun control agreement. The Swiss delegation was joined by several cosponsors in attempting to re-write the current version of Article 3 so as to more rigorously regulate the transfer of weapons that could be used for attacks on civilians.
As readers will understand, such vague terms as "weapons that could be used for attacks on civilians" could easily be interpreted to include nearly every variety of firearm whose ownership is protected by the Second Amendment.
When confronted about this potential infringement on the right to keep and bear arms, U.S. officials at the conference are quick to point out that Secretary of State John Kerry has committed to refusing to ratify any agreement that constricts the sphere of the Second Amendment's protection of gun rights.
As the negotiations on the revision of Article 3 wound down, the Canadian delegation was arguing for the status quo, insisting that the current version of the provision is likely as comprehensive as possible to still garner ratification by a majority of member states.
As the negotiations and presentations proceed, it becomes evident that many of the articles being drafted (or revised) contain provisions that would require the governments of member nations to track the transfer of weapons and ammunition within their sovereign borders.
One crucial step to implementing such tracking is the creation of a registry of gun owners. Without such a registry, it would be impossible to monitor weapon transfers effectively because governments can't track weapons exchanges and transfers unless they know who has them to begin with.
Americans need to be aware that the trajectory toward the mandatory compilation of a gun owner registry is in the works here at the United Nations.

To our creative users,
At Adobe, we believe our customers are some of the most influential people in the world. You are storytellers. You capture and relate the human experience — be it through a Hollywood blockbuster, an interactive iPad app, or photos from your child's school play. For decades, building the tools that shape those stories and the world around us has been our passion.
We believe that the creative process is going through dramatic changes. As our world becomes more connected and mobile, we have grander aspirations for how we create and interact with others.
Today's tools and services are not living up to the creative community's expectations. Assets are difficult to track across computers. Mobile devices aren't integrated tightly enough into creative activities. There is a continuous struggle to find effective ways to collaborate. And creative processes do not fully embrace the benefits of the broader creative community.
As the world changes, so must the tools and services we use to create. This presents a unique opportunity to re-imagine the creative process.
Just under a year ago, we launched the first phase of Creative Cloud, which provided Adobe's full set of creative applications as a membership. In the year since, we built the infrastructure to store and share files in the cloud, and acquired Behance®, a thriving social network used by millions of people to connect, showcase their work, and discover other talent.
This first year has been more successful than we could have imagined, with over half a million premium members and counting.
Our plans for Creative Cloud are much greater than the applications themselves. Our vision is to remove friction from the creative process and make it more productive and connected.
At Adobe MAX we unveiled the next step of this vision. We announced the next generation of our creative applications — with hundreds of new features — and demonstrated how the applications are deeply integrated with a host of new services within Creative Cloud. Together, the new applications and services provide a workflow where:
We also announced that given the focus on deeper integration between our creative tools and cloud services, we are changing how we refer to our creative applications. CS is now CC, the next generation of our apps integrated with Creative Cloud. Our new CC applications, such as Photoshop® CC, Illustrator® CC, and InDesign® CC, incorporate an increasingly integrated set of creative services that let you work where and how you want and connect you to the people you collaborate with as well as the larger creative community.
You can view a complete overview of this release and how Creative Cloud enables this new creative process at http://max.adobe.com/sessions/online.html
We believe that Creative Cloud will have a larger impact on the creative world than anything else we've done over the past three decades. It is our single highest priority to enable deep integration between our tools and services. One of the implications of this is that many of the new features in our CC applications require access to Creative Cloud, as will many of the updates we are planning for the future.
In order to accelerate the rate at which we deliver new features and services, and to ensure that we do so with the highest level of quality, we are focusing all of our efforts on Creative Cloud.
Given this, the CC applications will be available only as part of Creative Cloud. We will continue to sell and support Adobe Creative Suite® 6 applications, and will provide bug fixes and security updates as necessary. We do not, however, have any current plans to release new versions of our CS applications.
You will continue to install and use the creative applications on your desktop just as you always have, but the apps will increasingly be part of a larger creative process centered on Creative Cloud.
Within Adobe, we have challenged our teams to make bold changes that serve the evolving needs of the creative community. We know that such change often leads to uncertainty and apprehension, but we passionately believe in a more connected creative process. We understand that many of you probably have questions depending on whether you're an individual user, part of a team, or working in a large enterprise or government organization. The links below should help address any questions you might have.
We want to thank you for your support and enthusiasm. We're honored to provide you with the tools and services of your trade and hope you'll join us on this journey. We can't wait to see what you create.

It strikes me that the world your daughter is in could use a more universal solution. Instead of designing a ramp for one situation and doing it all over for another one, how about concentrating on a design of something that is adaptable to most situations.
Joist hangers come to mind. They do the same job no matter the length of the board that they support.
If you could come up with a support bracket design that is flexable enough to 'round the corners' and 'follow the grade', all that is left is the length of material between them.
You could spend a weekend making a ramp for someone, or provide a host of volunteers like yourself with a 'system' that makes them more productive and helping a lot more people.
If the ramp needs to be removed, the user can keep the hardware and use it in a new location with boards cut to fit the new situation.
Just a thought........
Sounds like Boat dock hardware would be very suitable. I see pipe legs that are adjustable, connector plates like docks have, and a number of standard panels that can be attached together depending on the specific site. Maybe even a 90 degree left and right section where turns are needed. A couple of plates at either end to get on and off and you are good. I'd make the it in 4 foot sections so they are easy enough to handle and store. Probably use 2x2 angle for the frames - turned up on the sides, down on the ends - with a plywood deck with outdoor carpeting.
aluminum ramp
Hey 6010, hows your ramp project coming along? have you gotten any good ideas for what you want? I was ready your post and just to let you know I did some work for a company years back and we made aluminum ramps for the handi-cap and portable school class rooms that were very usable for several apps and quiet sturdy. We did some that you could fold up and carry or put in the trunk of a car and not take up alot of room (4'x36")open (4'x16")closed see what i'm getting at, if you would like I could get you some phone numbers and names for you? But also you could check on the web under handi-cap ramps or portable entry systems you should come up with some info on that. if you want more info on this shoot me a line and i'll be glad to help out.

SignWave , safetydave, Big_Eddy ,AnotherDano
Thanks for the ideas and offer of help. I hope to be starting this project soon. My biggest impediment at the moment is getting my lazy rear end out of this computer chair and getting to work.
I am researching all the applicable building codes now and will get the local inspector to sign off on the project before I begin. After finishing a house this spring, I think this is how to start off. The house took me almost a year and an half and was by far my biggest Black and Decker project to date. If I hadn't gotten the 2003 International Residential Building Code on CD ROM I would probably still be working on it.
I have a friend that was once one of my vendors. He owns a big metal company now. I think if I convince him what a worthwhile humanitarian project this is he would probably cut me a deal on the metal. Especially if I told him we could probably get a picture of the finished project in the local paper with his name and his contribution, maybe even his picture standing beside it. Well, I think he would go for that. That is just the kind of guy he is. I think some people call it a " good businessman. "6010
If I had know I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.

Recipe by Gitano
"This recipe was handed down by my 'Baba' (Ukrainian for 'grandmother'). She originally just made a chocolate and plain pinwheel cookie, but I adapted it easily to create a very colorful variety that my kids and husband adore at Christmas time!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

4 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1/4 teaspoon
baking soda
1 teaspoon
1 1/3 cups
1 cup
packed brown sugar
2/3 cup
white sugar
eggs, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
1 drop
red food coloring, or as needed
1 drop
green food coloring, or as needed
These were pretty good and my kids really loved them. My only issue was that the recipe tells you to roll the dough out and place one color on top of the other after adding the food coloring, but there was no way that was going to happen, the dough was far too sticky. I had to refridgerate the dough overnight and then roll them out and put them together. Then I had to return them to the refridgerator again overnight to get a clean slice and nice looking cookie. This whole process was slightly time consuming, but otherwise they tasted good.
I had a really hard time with the dough. It was so sticky to handle and I added more flour and refridgerated them overnight, but my batch was unsuccessful! Mine didn't look like any of the posted pics at all. The taste wasn't all that either. Not very sweet. I will NEVER make these again. A total waste of my ingredients.

I loved these, although I suspect the brown sugar is what made them difficult for others, therefore I only used white sugar. I rolled the dough in between wax paper, layed them on a cutting board and stuck in the fridg. for 10 min. before putting the 2 doughs together and rolling. Then I froze the roll for an additional hour before cutting into slices, and baking. They turned out fabulous!
This is my recipe, yes, it is a time-consuming one, but well worth it. I split it over 2 days, make the dough one day and bake the next. As for the other baker's difficulty in the stickiness of the dough, I have never had that problem. Add more flour to the dough if it sticks as it should roll out like a dense pie dough. Also, AR said to add one drop of food colouring (not what I had submitted), you need half a bottle to get the desired shades of vibrant green and red!
I like to mess with the flavors according to the time of the year. During Christmas I like to do a Chocolate and Peppermint mix. Valentine's Day I like to do a Chocolate and Strawberry. You get the idea. Just use what flavoring you like for the "White" side of it or do a vanilla and an orange.....that is a orange cream twist. oh lala.......Great recipe. Thanks
I made this cookie for a cookie ex-change, so I made 4 batches across three days and tweaked it a little each time. Findings: 1st batch, I made it exactly as called for in the recipe. I tried to make red and white. Dough was sticky and because of the brown sugar the white was actually tan. 2nd batch – I ditched the brown sugar for white, used only egg whites. White was white this time, Green looked brighter as well. I couldn't tell when the cookies were actually done before they turned brown on the edges and then it was too late. They didn't look as pretty with brown edges. Batches 3 & 4 - 1. No brown sugar – use white 2. No egg yolks. 3. One batch - Green / One batch Red. Added food color before flour. 4. Refrigerated the dough before rolling it out. 5. Divide each color in to three equal balls of dough 6. Rolled out dough between pieces of wax paper. 7. Reshaped the dough while rolling so I got 8" squares. Did this by rolling out the dough in to a round shape, drawing the largest square possible on the rolled out down. Folding the rounded edges back into the dough squares and re-rolling. 8. Laid the two squares of rolled out colored dough on top of each other and rolled to make the spirals. Refrigerated as directed. (I only did 4 hours). 9. Sliced dough to ¼" thick or 5 mm. for cookies. 10. Cooked only 7 minutes.. did not rely on visual queue of doneness. Just took them out at seven minutes. Does not yield 72 - more like 48
I am pinwheel cookie challenged. So I thought I could roll these like my pie crusts. After colouring the dough, (I cheated and used some kool aid to get the colors darker, though they don't show up dark in the picture) I rolled the dough out on flexible cutting boards. I could easily set the colours on top or each other to adjust size. I used a dough scraper to even off the edges and make square corners. Then I flipped the dough onto the other colour and peeled back the board, did this 2 times. I used the bottom cutting board to aid with rolling, similar to using a tea towel to roll a jelly roll. Wrapped in waxed paper and left to cool. Delicious cookies and will be fun to play with the colours according to the season. Next time I will leave the dough in the cutting board and wrap with elastic bands. This way the dough will not get a flat bottom as it cools. Thanks for the recipe Gitano-it's making the Christmas goodie list in my house.
I used Wiltons concentrated paste for these cookies in the Halloween theme. As you can see from my pic, mine didn't turn out that well. Not as pretty as the other posted pictures. I found the dough sticky, I added some more flour as mentioned and I refrigerated it over night, but it softened quickly. The cookies seem to taste better, more buttery the next day. I love the idea of this pinwheel cookie ( especially for halloween)and the taste is pretty good. My daughter loved them and her friends from school really enjoyed them as well. THX.

1 (16 ounce) package

1/4 cup
vegetable oil
1 teaspoon
lemon juice
1 teaspoon
dried basil
1 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1 teaspoon
garlic salt
tomatoes, chopped

sweet onion, chopped
cucumber, coarsely chopped
1 cup
black olives, chopped
I love this recipe...although I've made a few slight changes to it. I use spiral pasta (tri-colored if available) and add 8 oz. feta cheese. It's best to get the block kind of feta and break it up into big chunks b/c when you mix the whole salad, it'll break up the feta. Already crumbled feta breaks down too much. Also, try olive oil instead of veggie oil and 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar instead of lemon juice or half the lemon juice and a little red wine vinegar. I sometimes sprinkle garlic salt instead of regular and a little oregano.
I found this salad very bland. I even added feta and some oregano but still I found it rather tasteless. I would not make this again.

Big hit at my last BBQ-
Very nice salad, however I did add more seasonings than called for. To make it a little more Greek, I also added feta cheese. Thanks!
Wonderful and delicious! I doubled the recipe for our 4th of July party and used "Absolutely Fabulous Greek Salad Dressing" from this site as dressing. I did add a cup of crumbled feta cheese, some sliced pepperoni, and about 2 cups brocoli florets blanched a few minutes. Will add to my summer salad list!
I made this salad for a potluck. Everyone was very impressed, although it was probably the easiest thing to make. I also substituted olive oil and added a little bit of fresh garlic. I love this recipe!
This was nice but nothing that wowed me. I liked the advice of adding a splash of red wine vinegar, which added a bit of sweet and I also added a dash of Italian seasonings and also some crumbled feta. I think grilled chicken might make a nice addition but I can't say that I'd make this again to try it. It just wasn't one of my favorites.
I made this salad the night before a party I was attending and it was wonderful.

Armstrong Alumni Association
Notable Alumni
When we celebrated our 75th anniversary in 2010, we also launched a new campus tradition: Armstrong Notables. This program provides a way to recognize and reconnect with Armstrong alumni each year. Armstrong Notables represent the different sectors of the community, government, nonprofits, the business world and various departments of the university. Students, faculty, staff, Armstrong Alumni Association board members and past recipients of the award are asked to nominate alums who have distinguished themselves in their professions, through community service or a combination of both.
Students, faculty and staff from across the campus, as well as members of the Armstrong Alumni Association are asked to nominate notable alums. We are proud to present our 2014 Notable Alumni below. Click here to see photos from the 2014 reception.
