College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Speaking and Listening
Speaking and Listening CCRA.SL.5
5. Make strategic use of digital media and visual displays of data to express information and enhance understanding of presentations.
Between the Internet, television, and advertising of all kinds, we've become an increasingly visual culture. Since we get so much of our information from looking at various displays, it makes sense to throw visual and multi-media displays into presentations. Not only do these give most of our audience the information they need in a way they're used to getting it, but they also help those who are "visual learners," or who absorb information best when they see it instead of merely hearing someone talk about it.
Example 1
Sample Questions for Use in Class
1. How Many Ways to Say It?
Have students read the passages below on various learning styles, and discuss the questions in a small group; then, have each group present its answers to the class as a whole. Students should be encouraged to use alternative ways to present the information that include each type of learning.
Visual learners primarily learn by looking or watching. Reading, viewing images, or watching someone do a task are all ways of learning that appeal to visual learners.
What are some examples of things you can use in a speech that will help visual learners follow your point?
(Possible Answers: graphs, charts, images, PowerPoint slides, writing notes on the board.)
Auditory learners primarily learn by hearing and listening. Lectures, music, and reading aloud are ways of learning that appeal to auditory learners.
What are some examples of things you can use in a speech that will help auditory learners follow your point?
(Possible Answers: speaking out loud, playing music, question and answer sessions with the audience, reading important information or having someone in the group read it.)
Kinesthetic learners primarily learn through movement or "doing things." Hands-on projects, writing, and games that require participants to move around are all ways of learning that appeal to kinesthetic learners.
What are some examples of things you can use in a speech that will help kinesthetic learners follow your point?
(Possible Answers: games, encouraging the audience to write down notes, having the audience participate in a project by touching sample products or building something while you give instructions.)
Example 2
2. Matching For Fun and Profit
Match each of the following types of presentation aids with the learning style they appeal to. Some questions will have more than one answer.
Learning Styles:
a. visual
b. auditory
c. kinesthetic
Presentation Aids
1. Writing on the blackboard (a; b, if you read aloud what you're writing; c, if you ask a student to do it or ask students to write it down themselves.)
2. PowerPoint or photographic slides (a; b, if you read or speak while you show the slides)
3. Passing around a sample (a; b, if you explain what it is; c)
4. Having the audience get up and move around to practice an activity (all of the above, if done correctly)
Example 3
Assignment 3.
Unless you're a bit of a geek, it's likely that your students will know more about digital media in all its myriad formats than you do. Get them thinking about creative ways to enhance their presentations and learn something about what's out there by using the following activity:
Split students into small groups and give each group a topic. You can have students draw these from a hat, or assign them at random. The topic itself can be nearly anything, since the point is to get students to think about the media available to present it. (You can, of course, use in-class topics that the students should be thinking about anyway.)
Have each group brainstorm five to ten different types of media they could use to present the topic to the class. These might include video clips, PowerPoint slides, photographs, animations, audio recordings of music or sound, computer-generated graphs or charts, interactive media like Web sites or video games, and so on. Then, have each group tell the rest of the class which media it chose for its topic and why. Let the rest of the class discuss the pros and cons of each choice. For instance, a group making a presentation on the Civil War may choose to use photographs, which are readily available, but may also say it wants to use videos from the war itself, which isn't possible because no video footage of the Civil War exists. (Videos of reenactments, however, are available and may be helpful.)
Example 4
Assignment 4.
1. What is this a map of? Who made it? How can you tell?
(Possible Answers: This National Weather Service map shows the number of severe thunderstorm warnings in the continental United States by coloring each county depending on how many severe thunderstorm warnings it had during the year.)
2. Which U.S. counties had the most severe thunderstorm warnings this year? Which had the least? How many did our county have?
(Possible Answers: The maximum, according to the map, was in Osage County, Oklahoma, which had 23 severe thunderstorm warnings in one year. Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas also had a high number of severe thunderstorm warnings. Several counties in the western U.S. had no severe thunderstorm warnings at all. The answer to the last question will depend on where you live.)
3. Say you have to give a presentation and you have to use this map in your presentation. What possible topics could your presentation be on so you could use this map to explain those topics to your audience?
(Possible Answers: Will vary. Many will have to do with weather, but other likely candidates include presentations on places not to live in if you're scared of thunderstorms, places where your homeowner's insurance is likely to be more expensive, or places in which you are most likely to be able to catch a tornado to Oz.)
Quiz 1 QuestionsHere's an example of a quiz that could be used to test this standard.
Quiz 2 QuestionsHere's an example of a quiz that could be used to test this standard.
For Questions 1-10, assume that you have been assigned to give a presentation on the American writer Ernest Hemingway, who died in 1961.

Courtney Love's memoir: 20 questions it should try to answer
Photo by Nick Vlcek
Late last week, word broke that Courtney Love is writing - or co-writing, or dictating, or bashing out in innumerable typo-strewn MySpace blog posts to be deciphered later, or whatever - her memoirs.
Let's hear you field these, Court.
1. Edward Norton: moaner or screamer?
2. In your spare time, do you dress up in a trench coat and fake mustache and stalk Christie McVie and Stevie Nicks around Los Angeles?
3. Are Korn groupies hotter than Faith No More groupies?
4. How much of the past 20 or 30 years or your life can you actually, honestly remember?
5. Fess up: have you ever used candid studio-session snapshots of Linda Perry to scare small children?
6. How much are you legally or morally obligated to leave out of this memoir?
7. Does it skeez you out to know that you used to sleep with a guy who eventually wound up servicing Tila Tequila?
8. If you get too close to a furnace, will your face melt? Has it ever happened before?
9. Do you ever wake up in a plush four-poster bed and believe for a couple minutes that you're actually homeless at the bottom of a dumpster off of Rodeo Drive?
10. Why is Michael Jackson's doctor's cell phone number still in your Rolodex? That dude killed MJ; he's on trial.
11. Trent Reznor's nail: eight inches or ten inches?
12. When will you launch your European fashion blog?
13. Were you higher when you agreed to appear in Trapped than you were while actually filming that piece of shit?
14. Have you ever screamed the lyrics to "I'll Do Anything" at the top of your lungs while at a BET Awards afterparty or Congressional Black Caucus meet-and-greet event while wearing nothing but a smile?
15. Does Francis Bean actually respect you? Really?
16. Does it bother you that the vanished-from-the-Internet photograph of you suckling a man in a fast-food establishment is in many ways representative of your ramshackle public persona?
17. Isn't it sort of ironic that you've invested so much time and energy and vigor in crusading for musicians' rights, but you're usually too drama-crippled to record and release much of anything yourself?
18. If someone got hold of one of your pre-cosmetic surgery photographs and had it advance-dated to correspond to your present age, and then had the advanced-date photograph blown up to 10-times life size and made copies and called in some friends to sort of picket your penthouse, with the signs, singing songs and chanting slogans, all "Occupy Wall Street" style, would you tell the crowd to fuck off or treat them to steaming mugs of Oxycontin-laced cocoa?
19. Do you ever ring Patty Schemel, just to, you know, check up on her, to see how everything's going?
20. Have you heard any good Nirvana jokes lately?

5 reviews | 4.8 out of 5
I bought this for my grandson - really for his mom - for his 1st birthday. She was so excited to get this. She has used it and is very impressed by all the features. She especially likes the height of it - no bending over to push. I would highly recommend this stroller!!
This product was everything I expected and more. I love the cupholder and all the compartments it has to offer. Especially the fact the sun shade actually covers my daughter when were in the sun (it is bigger than the average shade that comes with an umbrella stoller). It is extremely light weight and doesn't take up much space in the car. Paying a little more to have this verses a 20 buck stroller....definitely worth it.
This stroller is great! We bought for our daughter, who needed something more than a simple umbrella stroller. This is sturdy, has plenty of storage, is easy to push, and according to my daughter "is so COMFY, Mama!!" We all love it! The only drawback I've seen is the crossbar limits the amount of underneath storage.
This stroller does not disappoint! I love that is folds so easily like a traditional umbrella stroller but it has perks like a bigger stroller. My son loves it, too! He is so content to ride in his new stroller instead of his travel system stroller.
I absolutely love this stroller! I tested it out the day I received it..it handles rough terrain extremely well:) It's very lightweight and easy to stow in the trunk of the car.

All Rise...
This documentary helped Appellate Judge James A. Stewart with his travel plans. He's thinking chrysanthemum festival now.
The Charge
"Thrilling, detested, adored. This is the San Fermin festival."
The Case
As is pointed out in Running with Bulls, most American students run with the bulls vicariously through Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. Quite a few, apparently, actually go to Pamplona to be penned in on narrow streets with large, fast-moving bulls and hopefully not be maimed.
The tradition started because someone just decided to do it—and others joined that first runner. In 1923, Hemingway showed up to write it into his novel, and a lot of his readers showed up after reading it.
Sky News reporter Jason Farrell decided not just to show up, but to run and to cover the event from all angles. He starts by showing the bulls training for their all-too-brief careers. He follows runners, including veterans and five newbies from England, and matadors. Everywhere, you hear about the many injuries each year to runners and matadors alike. The run even begins with a tribute to a runner who was gored to death the previous year.
Although the risks are always quite clear in Running with Bulls, there were two times when I was actually shocked. One was when a woman was seriously injured, not in the running but in the revels surrounding the event. The other was a shot that showed a bull slipping on the Pamplona cobbles, giving me mental pictures of the bull just landing on someone, with more injury to the person than to the bull.
Farrell does a good job at showing both the obvious risks and the motivations of the people who take them. His documentary looks slick and exciting, but never takes on the glamorous sheen of an old-fashioned travelogue. It's well-shot and well-produced, for a good overview of the experience.
If, after watching and seeing how dangerous it is, you still are considering heading over to Pamplona and running (you can actually do it virtually at the local museum), there's a guide to the event, including one last-ditch escape route on the course (very important!). There's also a photo gallery set to music and a trailer.
Near the end of Running with Bulls, activists are shown protesting the event. The documentary isn't an animal-rights video, but just showing the run through the modern digital lens might do more to discourage viewers from actually doing this. By getting on the course and doing it himself, with cameras on ground level, Farrell presented the event as something that—while it can be thrilling to watch on TV, at home—is always dangerous.
The Verdict
Not guilty.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Running with Bulls a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

Conversation Between ak137 and CherryCherryBoomBoom
Showing 1 to 10 of 22My messages
Well, it's just that when I have a sub, I feel like I have to make the most of it by going on TSR as much as possible before it runs out. Whereas when I don't have a sub, I don't feel like that so much. Although, if I were someone with a permanent sub (ie, ex-mod), then I guess it'd be different.
Ah right lol.
Tbh, I think subbing doesnt really make a difference, well not for me anyway
I have no more essays to submit now
I do actually currently have enough credits, but I just don't feel like a sub at the moment as I'm trying to cut down on my TSR addiction a bit. Maybe in the near future I'll get one though.
Ah, I thought I was going a bit blind tryna look at your name to see if it was coloured and it wasnt, better to double check I guess
Better start submitting essays then
Are you still a sub?
Ah, i wasnt active that much in late 2010, so i wouldnt know .
Thanks .
I'd been wanting to use it for ages actually, but you know when TSR had all those big changes back in late 2010? Well, one of them was to only allow subs to have animated avatars, which annoyed me no end as a non-sub . But now I have it so it's all good
Your avatar is cute by the way
nice avy :P

Took this ring to a jeweler and was sadly disappointed to hear that I paid way too much for it. It had many inclusions and was very poor quality. Won't buy diamonds on the internet again. It really pays to buy from a jeweler so you can look and see what they are seeing.Read More
When I first ordered the ring, Overstock staff called to ensure the validity of the purchase, which I certainly appreciated. Verification was pleasant and took only a few minutes, and I was connected with someone almost immediately. The ring itself looks fantastic. It is absolutely brilliant. I'm no diamond expert, but there appear to be no visible imperfections. The color, cut, and clarity all seem top notch. This was confirmed when I took the ring to four separate jewelers and they all priced it roughly $500-$1000 more than what I paid for it, and had nothing but good things to say about the overall look of the stone. I took a risk by purchasing a product with no previous reviews, and I'm glad I did. Thank you Overstock! I will keep shopping with you until you give me a reason not to. To anyone thinking about getting this ring... DO IT! There's no way she'll say no to this ;)Read More

Kendra Wilkinson in Current/Elliott
Kendra Wilkinson was promoting her new book called "Sliding Home" in a pair of Current/Elliott The Skinny Cargo jeans. What do you think of her outfit here? I think she could have worn a dressier shirt and I'm not loving that belt at all…I just seem to like the cargos better when they are dressed up a bit I guess.
Here is an interesting tidbit, in a radio interview, Kendra was asked her opinion on the Montana Fishburne situation. She shared what advice she'd give to Laurence Fishburne to help him deal with his daughter: "has to be there for her. He has to say "F" all, "F" Hollywood. And he has to learn to be there for his daughter. "Just because she does what she does that porn, he has to get back down to earth and realize who my daughter really is. Is she a good person?" that sounds like some pretty sound advice to me!

Hilary Duff in Double Denim
Newlywed Hilary Duff was seen taking her dog to the vets in Beverly Hills, California before she picked up a sandwhich at Whole Foods. I hope her doggy is ok! Hilary was wearing a double denim outfit for the day which consisted of black denim leggings with a blue denim jacket which she paired with suede boots. I love those boots! Does anyone know the brand of them? They are so pretty!
The one thing that throws me off about this outfit is I think Hilary buttoned the jacket too high, for girls with a bigger bust it always looks better with the buttons a little more undone as it creates a more flattering shape around the chest area. Of course, wear a top underneath, I'm not saying go out showing your bra haha! I'd love this outfit so much more if the jacket was unbuttoned though, otherwise it's a gorgeous style.

Kate Winslet in 7 For All Mankind
I think this is as casual as I've ever seen always-chic Kate Winslet look! Kate and her son made a pit stop at a local gas station in Gloucestershire, England before getting into their black SUV. It looks like they're going somewhere fun (and dirty!) in their wellies!
Kate paired her Hunter wellington boots with a casual cardigan and rolled denim shorts. Her shorts are by 7 For All Mankind. She's wearing 7 For All Mankind's Roll-up short in Haze wash. You can buy Kate's shorts at Revolveclothing and 7ForAllmankind.com for $149.
LOOK BOOK: Goldsign Resort 2010
Here is the brand new Resort 2010 Look Book for Goldsign. The Look Book is a classic Goldsign style and I love the pairing of skinny jeans with the new style brogues. I love the denim dresses, the jeggings, the looser fitting pants, the studs… They have an eclectic selection of pieces. You can check out the images in the gallery below.

Rakia Naze
Senior Admissions Counselor
I focus on high schools in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District as well as in Illinois and Wisconsin.
What's your favorite spot on the CSU campus and why?
I enjoy sitting near the fountain right outside the Student Center in the plaza. It's a great place to enjoy sunlight, read a book, or socialize with friends or co-workers. It's also close to campus eateries such as the Viking Market Place, Chili's (coming soon) and Starbucks!
Why do you think that more and more students are choosing CSU?
CSU's campus is urban, vibrant, and diverse. You will get the chance to meet people from all walks of life. There are endless opportunities. Overall, you get the best of both worlds: strong academics and a great location! Students will have fun while preparing for their futures without even venturing too far away. Opportunities are literally in your backyard.
If you had your own Magnus outfit, where would you wear it?
I would wear my Magnus outfit to the Cleveland Indians' season opener. I've always wanted my face to be displayed on the big screen! I'm sure my outfit would be a crowd pleaser.
Describe a time when you felt the greatest sense of CSU pride?
During CSU's 50th Anniversary parade, I was amazed at the turnout of the campus community. Even alumni traveled to the city to participate in this wonderful event. There was a host of other activities throughout the year that attracted large crowds and allowed the world to see how CSU has transformed over the past decade. I am truly proud to be a part of the Viking family.
What advice do you have for students who are choosing a college?
The best part about choosing a college is visiting the campus. This is the time to explore, ask questions, try the food, and a take peak inside the residence halls. Most importantly, you get a chance to walk the halls and see how it feels to be a student on campus. After an awesome college tour of my three top schools, I finalized my decision on where I would call home for the next four years.
What's your favorite CSU fun fact?
CSU is famous! Well, we are if you consider the creation of the delicious "Green Turns Gold" pistachio and caramel ice cream flavor for our 50th Anniversary block party. Our very own upscale restaurant, Elements, served it on the menu for all to enjoy.

Grammys sidestep Britney Spears performance queries: Is she in or out?
Rumors are flying around the internet that Britney Spears will appear on the Grammys. As you know, Spears released "Hold It Against Me," the first single, to her March album yesterday and the world exploded. Well, not quite, but the song, which we reviewed here, shot to the top of iTunes download chart and set records for the number of radio spins, according to her label, Jive Records. In its first day, the song had close to 600 plays at Top 40 stations, thanks to some outlets, like LA's KIIS, which debuted the track, banging it 18 times.
Let the rumors fly says the Recording Academy, The folks who put on the Grammys. They coyly told Hitfix, when asked about Spears' possible appearance, "Until a press release is issued by The Recording Academy, there are no performers or presenters confirmed." When asked when the Academy will start putting out press releases about performers, the answer was "shortly." Uh, thanks.
[More after the jump...]
Here's our take on it: we understand completely that the Grammy Awards need the best ratings they can possible get, but most of the performances are, at least tangentially, tied to the nominations. To be sure, there are the salutes, like the one several years ago to the Clash's Joe Strummer that allowed the Grammys to get Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen and Dave Grohl all on the same stage, or more recently, last year's somewhat awkward tribute to Michael Jackson, but for the most part, the Grammys have a least pretended to not just pander to audiences by slotting in a hot name who has no other reason there but to boost ratings.
We fully expect—hope— that Lady Gaga will perform since she's going to the very obvious length to release her new single, "Born This Way," on Feb. 13, the same day as the Grammys. Someone please chime in if you're ever heard of an artist releasing a single on a Sunday. But she's also nominated for a number of Grammys, including album of the year. She gets to do whatever she wants.
As we mentioned, the Grammys will air on Feb. 13 live on CBS at 8 p.m. EDT.
Should performances be limited to nominated artists and their guests? What do you think?

Thanks for your work on this, Joe! Note that I've been careful in prior tests to strike both match and notmatch at the start, middle, end and beyond end of the string tested (Jeff had tripped over one such edge case), and it's probably worth repeating that exercise with these regex patterns. Unfortunately I've been exhausted of cycles to take this any further, so it's great to see others add on to the cases.

Report: Demand to Outpace Crude Supplies
Here's yet another report cautioning that conventional oil can't meet projected demand. This one, Facing the Hard Truths About Energy, is from the National Petroleum Council, an advisory group to the Secretary of Energy chaired by Lee Raymond (!), retired CEO of Exxon Mobil.
The report wisely recommends: "Moderate the growing demand for energy by increasing efficiency of transportation, residential, commercial, and industrial uses." But it unwisely calls for promoting liquefied coal and oil from tar sands, especially counterproductive from a report that actually acknowledges the future of growing carbon constraints.
Ah well, after five years working at the Energy Department in the 1990s, I can safely say that these reports typically are not very discriminating because they have members from all forms of energy. This one looks to be no exception.
Still, the warning that our current energy path is not sustainable is one policymakers need to hear:
It's a hard truth that the global supply of oil and natural gas from the conventional sources relied upon historically is unlikely to meet projected 50 to 60 percent growth in demand over the next 25 years.
Let's just hope policymakers are wise enough to forego dirty, unconventional sources of liquid fuel (especially liquid coal) and instead aggressively pursue efficiency, cellulosic ethanol, and plug-in hybrids.
One Response to Report: Demand to Outpace Crude Supplies
The default postion when faced with this reality is to push for use of unconventional oil and coal to liquid to make up the shortfall. But as Climateprogress has noted in the past, these sources produce twice as much carbon per unit of energy used. It would be interesting to know whether the IPCC factored in the GHG increases caused by expanding our reliance on these high carbon sources, and what impact that would have on their forecasts.

Campus Food:
Generally, after freshman year meals plans and options are great. Although it's nice that as freshman you can use your swipes and the Freeman Center instead of Marketplace. But it's horrible that you don't get that many food points to start with and you can only really eat in one place everyday. Also you have to miss two meals if you want brunch and dinner on weekends. After freshmen year you can have any meal plan size you want and there are tons of food options to select from. The only comment I really have with Duke Dinning, is that beyond Divinity there aren't that many healthy food options, and Divinity is no longer open for dinner.
Campus Food:
I would give it 5 stars, but MP takes it down 2 stars.
Campus Food:
Very, very poor and limited options. As someone who enjoys exercising and eating large meals, I cannot spend less than $15 other than at McDonalds.
Campus Food:
With my class schedule the options are very limited.
Campus Food:
As with most schools, the food is overpriced and mediocre.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
You'll hear plenty of complaints about the freshman meal plan, and many of them are justified. This meal plan requires freshmen to eat breakfast and dinner at the Marketplace every weekday, as well as brunch on Saturday and Sunday. On the one hand, this is very convenient; you can eat dinner with your friends every night and not have to worry about paying for overpriced fast food. On the other hand, although the food is really not nearly as bad as everyone will tell you, it really wears on you after a while. West Campus, however, abounds with places to eat and is able to satisfy pretty much every craving. And as of 2010, an all-you-can-eat meal at the Marketplace can be converted to $12 of credit at the Great Hall.
On the whole, Duke's food options are varied, convenient, and well liked, but students will complain anyway. If you can't find something you like on campus, you can use points to order from off campus establishments or walk across the street to Whole Foods.

Amid catastrophic loss, two people find themselves as Haiti bounces back from 2010 earthquake
It feels great, but for Kathleen it's not enough. She needs to be in Haiti. Finally, she stumbles on to something — a Denver-based company called Build Change is rebuilding homes in Port Au Prince to make them seismically safe and they're looking for a community outreach coordinator — a person who speaks Creole who can go in to neighborhoods and explain the program.
Kathleen immediately applies, and when she doesn't hear back she sends an email every couple days. "Hey, did you get my application?" she asks. Eventually she lands an interview, and the job, and she's on a plane to Port Au Prince.
When Kathleen arrives, frustration is mounting at the slow pace of recovery. There are stories of sanitation trucks stuck in customs; of shipping containers delayed at the harbor.
Instead of focusing on these frustrations, Kathleen turns her attention to what she can control. Build Change is part of a broader effort called Building Back Better. The idea isn't simply to rebuild homes and roads, but to restructure the underpinnings of the Haitian society itself, leveraging the $11 billion pledged by donor countries and financial institutions into roads, functioning hospitals, and a dependable power grid — in other words, the sort of infrastructure that would attract foreign corporations that would build factories and create jobs. Building Back Better means helping Haiti stand on its own.
The goals of Build Change are much less audacious but they are based on the same philosophy of self-reliance. The idea, in a nutshell, is to go into the neighborhoods most badly affected by the earthquake and partner with local homeowners to rebuild their homes to withstand future earthquakes. "Earthquakes don't kill people," Kathleen tells them, "badly built homes do."
They target three neighborhoods — Canape Vert, Carrefour, and Delmas 32 — blanketing them with posters, fliers and radio spots advertising the program.
As the months pass, the people begin to leave their tents in the LDS Church parking lots and go to temporary shelters the church is building for them. By November of 2011, the rubble slowly begins to disappear from the streets of Port Au Prince. A new government is installed (20 percent of civil servants were killed in the earthquake) and the aid bottled up in customs begins to flow through the city.
In a neighborhood called Villa Rosa, Catholic Relief Services begins an innovative program to recycle rubble in to cinder blocks. By May of 2012, the blocks have been used to build 1,500 homes. In other parts of the city, Sean Penn's JP/HRO charity helps nearly 40,000 people living in camps transition back to their neighborhoods. And in the foothills of the city, an American woman named Shelley Clay begins a business that turns trash in to jewelry, giving 220 artisans from the surrounding neighborhood jobs which enable them to build new homes and pay tuition to send their children to good schools.
Throughout Port Au Prince, there are dozens of similar programs in nearly every neighborhood, sponsored by private charities, churches and government organizations. To the aid workers who have been here from the beginning, it feels like things are finally starting to get better.
As the director of LDS Humanitarian Services in Haiti, Berthony's focus turns to finding jobs for those who lost them in the earthquake, and making sure the kids are in school. He works with LDS bishops to identify those who lost work because of the earthquake and makes sure they're going to the church's employment center, which offers classes on résumé building and interview techniques and tracks job openings throughout the city. They also offer small loans to entrepreneurs and send others back to school through a program called the Perpetual Education Fund.
He often thinks back to how he was saved. "I wasn't better than anyone else," he says. "But since I'm here, I have to do what I can to help others." He can't fix everything, but collectively small things make a difference, he believes.
It's spring in Haiti, more than two years after the earthquake. Kathleen is trudging up the muddy slope of a neighborhood in Villa Rosa, where Build Change is retrofitting a half a dozen homes.

Renowned Harvard scholar and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore has composed a strikingly original, ingeniously conceived, and beautifully crafted history of American ideas about life and death from before the cradle to beyond the grave. How does life begin? What does it mean? What happens when we die? All anyone can do is ask, Lepore writes. That's why any history of ideas about life and death has to be, like this book, a history of curiosity. Lepore starts that history with the story of a seventeenth-century Englishman who had the idea that all life begins with an egg and ends it with an American who, in the 1970s, began freezing the dead. In between, life got longer, the stages of life multiplied, and matters of life and death moved from the library to the laboratory, from the humanities to the sciences. Lately, debates about life and death have determined the course of American politics. Each of these debates has a history. Investigating the surprising origins of the stuff of everyday life from board games to breast pumps Lepore argues that the age of discovery, Darwin, and the space age turned ideas about life on earth topsy-turvy. New worlds were found, she writes, and old paradises were lost. As much a meditation on the present as an excavation of the past, The Mansion of Happiness is delightful, learned, and altogether beguiling.
About the Author
Jill Lepore is the David Woods Kemper 41 Professor of American History at Harvard University and a staff writer at The New Yorker. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Application Instructions
Please note that applications for accreditation that are not submitted and paid within 60 days are considered inactive and will be permanently removed.
Completing the Online Application
General Guidance Prior to Application Completion
- The online application is for new Verified-Accredited Wholesale Distributors® (VAWD®) applications only.
- Select the "Save" or "Next Page" buttons to save information in the application. Once the "Save" or "Next Page" button has been pressed, the information entered on that page cannot be changed. If a correction is needed, please contact NABP at email@example.com prior to moving forward in the application.
- Users may log out and resume filling out the application at the point of the last submitted entry.
- Prior to final submission, a verification page for application review will display. Applicants are unable to make changes to this page. However, should any errors be discovered, contact firstname.lastname@example.com and describe the needed change(s). NABP recommends printing this page for your records.
- You will no longer be able to access an application once it has been submitted to NABP.
- If during the accreditation process any information submitted on the VAWD application changes, NABP must be notified in writing within 48 hours. Submit changes via email to email@example.com.
If you have any additional questions about completing the VAWD application, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Application Completion
Create NABP User Account Page
- The NABP VAWD application requires the applicant to create a User Account. It is strongly recommended that the person completing the application is the individual who will serve as the facility's primary contact person during the accreditation process. This person may use his or her login to complete multiple applications and will be the steward of future applications for that particular company. Should the wholesale distributor (WD) wish to change the person charged with submitting the applications, please contact NABP directly via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Wholesale Distributor Information Page
- The Legal Business Name is the name under which the company files its tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the name included on the business's articles of incorporation.
- The Doing Business As Name (otherwise known as "fictitious name" or "trade name") is the name that the company uses that is different than the Legal Business Name. Typically, the Doing Business as Name is registered with the state, county, or local municipality, and the registration clearly connects the Doing Business as Name with the Legal Business Name.
- The Website URL (if any) must be the Internet address for the WD's home page and is the site address that will be used to display the VAWD Seal upon accreditation.
- The Physical Address of the WD Establishment is the commercial, non-residential location of the facility applying for VAWD accreditation and must be the same address used on the WD's state licenses.
Ownership Information Page
- Business Organization applies to any for-profit or not-for-profit legal entity, such as a partnership, corporation, limited liability company, or sole proprietorship that owns or contracts for the WD's services.
- The Name of Corporate Entity field automatically fills in from the Legal Business Name.
- The Corporate Address is the location where the Legal Business Name is registered with the IRS. This address may or may not be the same address as the Physical Address of the WD establishment.
Wholesale Distributor Information Page
The Contact Person is responsible for the following:
- Submitting the facility's application, supplemental documentation, and P&Ps
- Remediating any deficiencies discovered during documentation and P&P reviews and during the on-site survey
- Scheduling on-site surveys
- Coordinating the annual accreditation renewal
While not required, NABP strongly recommends that the contact person also have a working knowledge of the facility's P&Ps (and if applicable, how the P&Ps are shared across VAWD-accredited facilities) and the authority to make any necessary P&P revisions. This can help ensure a smooth process.
Designated Representative Page
- The Designated Representative (DR) oversees the day-to-day operations of the applicant facility. In most facilities, the DR is the warehouse manager.
- The DR Supervisor should be at least one level above the DR and the person to whom the DR reports. The DR supervisor must be actively involved in, and aware of, the daily operations of the distribution facility.
Facility Information Page
- Completion requires knowledge of facility operations.
Executive Officers Page
- The Executive Officers field refers to officers, directors, and other persons who are in charge of the operations of the applicant facility.
Major Investor Page
- Major Investors include silent partners, venture capitalists, and any person, partnership, or corporation who directly or indirectly owns greater than 10% equity in the ownership or controlling interest of the WD organization and/or greater than 10% voting interest in the organization.
Supplemental Documents Page
Completing the VAWD application requires the applicant to:
- Submit supplemental documents which facilitate an understanding of the applicant's business.
- Submit P&Ps which demonstrate compliance with the VAWD criteria.
All required documentation must be provided to NABP with the application or the application may be canceled. NABP recommends that supplemental documents be submitted using the online application's "Upload Files" option. (Note: This option is not available for all documents. The application will prompt you for eligible documents.)
NABP only accepts supplemental documents utilizing the "Upload Files" option during application submission. Documents not submitted with the online application must be submitted via email or standard mail. Whenever possible, items sent via standard mail should be submitted on a CD-ROM or USB flash drive.
- Name the documents sent in accordance with what NABP has requested. For example, our request for a brief description of a business model should be named, "Business Model Description." For P&Ps, the file name should include both the document's number and name. For example, "P&P 45.3 – Temperature & Humidity Control."
- Email the documents as attachments to email@example.com. In the subject line and body of the email, include the facility name, city, and state; or
- Mail a CD of the documents along with a copy of the application receipt page (issued following completion of the online application) via a land carrier to:
National Association of Boards of Pharmacy
1600 Feehanville Drive
Mt Prospect, IL 60056
When submitting documents to NABP, documents should be gathered and submitted at one time rather than individually, whether submitted online, via email, or via traditional mail.
If there is any delay in submitting the required documents, you must contact VAWD to request a time extension to avoid a cancellation of your application. Requests for time extensions may be subject to administrative fees and are not guaranteed. Failure to notify NABP of any delay may result in the cancellation of your application.

Application Documentation Not Eligible for Upload
Policies and Procedures
Applicants must complete the VAWD P&P Assessment and submit it with all referenced P&Ps. The P&P Assessment is a Microsoft Word document that enables an applicant to designate which of its organizational P&Ps fulfill the VAWD criteria. The document clearly lays out the P&Ps necessary to meet VAWD compliance requirements and enables the applicant to enter either the name or number and the page number for the P&P demonstrating compliance.The P&P Assessment also enables applicants utilizing shared P&Ps or that have business partners responsible for off-site processes relative to the VAWD criteria to provide a map of how their documents and processes are used and shared.
With the P&P Assessment, the submission of copies of operational P&Ps evidencing compliance, as set forth in the P&P Assessment, are required. P&Ps not submitted in accordance with the P&P Assessment will delay processing the application. P&Ps will be reviewed only after NABP confirms that all supplemental documentation is acceptable.
To help expedite the application process, NABP requires the following:
- Submit P&Ps as Microsoft Word files.
- Submit each P&P as an individual file; do not copy and paste multiple files into one document.
An on-site survey will be scheduled for all locations relevant to the application only after NABP confirms that all critical P&Ps are compliant with VAWD criteria.
Download the VAWD P&P Assessment
Supplemental Documents That May Be Required at a Later Date
