Smash Hit
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know Smash Hit is a somewhat surreal physics-based action game in which the main object is to break glass panes and objects with metal balls. The game resembles a technical demo but is quite fun to play. Kids might ask their parents to buy the premium version so they don't have to start the game over from the beginning each time. Other than throwing balls at virtual glass, there's no violence, and there's no hard sell or interaction with strangers.

What's it about?
Users break glass objects in their paths, throwing metal balls at them by touching the screen. Although you start with a limited number of balls in your arsenal, you can collect more by smashing pyramids and diamonds that are frequently found along the game's ever-moving path. Also along the way are occasional power-ups, such as a rapid-fire unlimited-balls icon and the ability to temporarily slow time. When the player runs out of balls, the game is over -- and must be restarted from the very beginning (unless you buy the premium version, which restarts you from the last checkpoint).
Is it any good?
SMASH HIT is more than a fun game -- but make no mistake: It's a very fun game. It's also a therapeutic experience and utterly hypnotizing. The app takes a very basic concept, breaking glass obstacles to proceed on a path, blends that with soothing music and beautiful graphics, and creates a terrific mobile experience, one that's nearly impossible to put down.
By taking a minimalist approach, the game maker hits a perfect note, letting the player focus on the task at hand while still marveling at the lifelike qualities of the gameplay elements. And, whether you're smashing panes of glass, stone hammers with glass handles, or spinning blades of glass, you'll get a sense of satisfaction every time you've made it through an obstacle -- and you won't hesitate to start over when you've finally reached the end.
Families can talk about...
Families can discuss the nature of physics in games.
Families also can discuss the real-world dangers of broken glass -- and why kids shouldn't try this at home.

Fox Point — Village President Michael West on Tuesday was given the informal support of the Village Board on his intent to approve a proposed fire department funding formula.
West, along with representatives from the other six North Shore Fire Department member communities, meet next Tuesday at Shorewood Village Hall to vote on the proposal. In the meantime, River Hills, whose President Bob Brunner has been the one NSFD board member to openly oppose the proposal, meets Friday to deliberate and may call a vote.
The proposed formula, which determines the share of the total NSFD budget each community pays, would take effect in 2016 and replace a three-year formula set by the NSFD board in 2012. With the help of third-party mediator Public Policy Forum, officials and administrators from the member communities arrived at the new formula after 10 months of consideration.
And though policy forum President Rob Henken has said the resulting formula proposal gained consensus among city and village administrators, the same cannot be said of elected officials. In mid-October River Hills' Brunner called the proposal a "bailout" for Glendale and threatened to veto the new formula if a vote is called at the coming meeting. In response, Glendale Mayor Jerome Tepper said he would advise Glendale to separate from NSFD in 2016 if the proposed formula is defeated.
Last week Whitefish Bay Village President Julie Siegel called a vote on the matter at the Bay board, receiving a unanimous backing of her plan to approve the proposal.
After a brief presentation on the technical aspects of the proposal, West lauded the formula for the way it takes politics out of fire department funding. In the past, West said, NSFD board members were more likely to bargain among each other over their community's individual share of the fire department budget than let a formula establish their share for them.
"Any community that was adversely effected would never vote (for proposals in the past)," West said. "(The proposed formula) is policy based."
West added of the board's acceptance in 2012 of the current, three-year formula, which locked Fox Point's share of the fire department higher than it would have been under the department's original funding agreement from 1995: "This board, in my opinion, had the toughest decision of the seven communities, because of the data that was before us."
Though West didn't go so far as to call a vote of his own Tuesday evening, he did receive the vocal support of several village trustees for his intent to vote "yes" on the proposal next week.
"Getting away from that (formula) freeze is a very important accomplishment," Trustee Eric Fonstad said.
Added Ttrustee Douglas H. Frazer: "It's a huge improvement."

Study design is a crucial first step in clinical trials. Well-designed studies are essential for successful cancer research and cancer drug development. Innovative clinical trial designs can potentially require fewer patients, save resources, and accelerate cancer drug development. The broad, long-term objective of this research project is to develop new statistical methodology to address new and challenging issues in the design and analysis of cancer clinical trials. There are 3 specific aims in this praject.
The first aim addresses statistical methods for the design and sample size calculation for longitudinal data and joint models for longitudinal and survival data. Statistical methods will be developed for sample size and power estimation for the overall and direct treatment effect on survival, for the effect of the longitudinal process on survival, and for settings involving multivariate longitudinal and multivariate survival processes.
The second aim studies statistical methodology for the design and analysis of group randomized cancer prevention trials with survival and recurrent event outcomes. Empirical process theory will be used to study the asymptotic behavior of the test statistics and both asymptotic approximation as well as permutation test will be used to develop sample size formulas and power estimation.
The third aim addresses important statistical issues in the oncology drug development pathway. There are three sub-aims. The first sub-aim is in the area of targeted designs. Methods for alternative designs, including "enrichment" designs, will be developed, and the operating characteristics and costs of these designs to fully targeted designs will be compared. Valid and efficient statistical methods for these trials will be developed by applying a semiparametric empirical likelihood approach. The second sub-aim is in the area of phase 11 designs. New methods for phase II and phase 11/111 clinical trials will be developed and their operating characteristics, costs, and predictive ability for subsequent phase HI trials will be assessed. Information on both combination and non-combination therapies in phase 11 studies and subsequent phase III studies will be gathered to build prediction models using machine learning and other nonparametric classification methods. The third sub-aim is in the area of partially randomized designs. New semiparametric empirical likelihood methods will be developed for the design and analysis of such trials to adjust for selection bias and to improve efficiency. Our research will produce important new and efficient design and analysis tools for cancer research.
This research will provide valuable new design and analysis tools to cancer researchers and other biomedical researchers. These new and improved design and analysis tools will help to improve the quality and efficiency of cancer clinical trials. They will help to improve public health by enabling accurate and efficient estimation of sample size and power calculation for cancer clinical trials and by accelerating cancer drug development.

Understanding the twin deficits: new approaches, new results
Since 2002, the U.S. has seen the emergence of twin deficits—that is, a growing budget deficit along with a growing current account deficit, which reflects increasing U.S. borrowing from abroad. To some analysts, this situation seems very reminiscent of the early 1980s. In the earlier episode, there were significant tax rate cuts that were not matched by spending cuts, and between 1981 and 1986, the U.S. budget deficit went from 2.5% of GDP to about 5% of GDP and the current account went from being roughly in balance to a deficit of 3.3% of GDP. In 2001, there were tax rate cuts that were not matched by spending cuts, and the U.S. budget went from a surplus to a deficit that reached 3.5% of GDP in 2004; the current account deficit also soared, rising from 3.8% of GDP in 2001 to 5.7% in 2004. ; A number of factors may affect how much budget deficits explain current account deficits, and an extensive theoretical and empirical literature has emerged to evaluate them. This Economic Letter reviews several of these studies. The findings suggest that the relationship between the deficits may be fairly tenuous. And in a surprising result, one study finds that—in the short run, at least—budget deficits actually have a positive effect on the current account balance.

First we had Tony Blair's big tent. Now we have David Cameron's even bigger tent. At the start of New Labour's first full week in power the Chancellor, Gordon Brown, announced the independence of the Bank of England. Yesterday, at the start of the first full week of the new Government, George Osborne established the Office for Budget Responsibility. Goodbye to New Labour. Hello again to the politics of 1997.
There are of course epic differences. Cameron had no choice but to form his tent that bulges at the seams with Liberal Democrats. There was no surprise when Osborne announced his new body yesterday compared with the waves of excitement generated by Brown's unexpected declaration. The transfer of power is not as great either, although it follows the trend of the past two decades in which key decisions or influential advice are depoliticised and taken away from elected politicians. Voters will not be able to remove those who form the Office for Budget Responsibility in the same way that the Governor of the Bank of England is still in place after the election even though, perhaps to his relief, a Prime Minister and Chancellor have been removed.
The other most obvious difference is the context. Cameron and Osborne make their moves in a gloomy economic climate. Blair and Brown inherited a fairly buoyant economy, although they behaved as if it was one on the edge of an abyss, talking with insecure machismo about "tough choices" when the choices, compared with the current economic situation, were the equivalent of deciding between a holiday in Tuscany and one in Barbados .
Whatever the differences, Cameron and Osborne are still behaving as the heirs of Blair. They watched with awe as Blair formed his big tent in a way that threatened to destroy the Conservative party. Like Blair, both are more fascinated by the choreography of politics than policy detail. Even if the Conservatives had won an overall majority, Cameron planned to make eye catching appointments from outside his party.
After his election, Blair took the view, as Cameron has done throughout his leadership, that there must be no "no-go" areas in the media and beyond. In the early New Labour era Conservative-supporting editors and columnists were wooed assiduously. I recall sitting in the office of the editor of the New Statesman, Ian Hargreaves, soon after New Labour came to power, when he received a call from the right-wing columnist, Simon Heffer, who wrote for the magazine. Hargreaves had been pressing hard to get an early visit to the new Prime Minister. On the phone Heffer said that he was just leaving No 10 after a very fruitful meeting with Blair and offered to write up his thoughts, which would be highly positive. Hargreaves and I knew our place, and it was in a queue behind writers for The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail.
Now Cameron asks the left-of-centre writer Will Hutton to advise the Government on public sector pay and the Telegraph must wait. The invitation has a perfect symmetry. Hutton had high hopes of being the leading New Labour guide, but was dropped by the leadership before the 1997 election when his ideas were presented in some quarters – simplistically – as being too union-friendly. Hutton can recall Blair in his kitchen in Islington telling him that his big idea of a "stakeholders' society" would become New Labour's big idea too. The commitment lasted for a single speech that Blair delivered in the relative safety of Singapore shortly before the 1997 election. How neat that it is Cameron who stretches out a hand of friendship to the spurned stakeholder. Frank Field also climbs aboard as the anti-poverty Czar. Blair was constantly looking for Tories to play similar roles.
Building a big tent is clever politics but only for a short period of time. New Labour's big tent started to empty fast when big storms erupted around it and the inhabitants could not agree how to respond. By the end there were not enough exits to cope with all those who wanted to leave.
The length of time that the bulging canvas remains stable is determined by the response of those who are left outside. After 1997, the Conservatives played the role that Blair had assigned them with unthinking naivety. Part of the skill in managing a big tent is to put forward policies that are counter-intuitive. Famously, in Brown's early Budgets he stuck rigidly to the Conservatives' spending plans, the ones that the outgoing Chancellor, Ken Clarke, had described as "eye-wateringly tight". The reaction of the Conservative leadership in opposition was to describe these puny spending proposals as "reckless and irresponsible".
Without much of a shove the Conservatives moved to the wilder shores by opposing what had been their own rigid spending policies. A pattern was established. Whatever policy emerged from the big tent the Conservatives opposed, even if it was closer to their own beliefs. Michael Portillo began to address the destructive mindset when as shadow chancellor he declared his party's support for the minimum wage and independence for the Bank of England. Cameron developed the subtler approach by supporting Blair's schools reforms. Labour was more traumatised by support from the Conservatives than they had been by their opposition.
The first big test for Labour in opposition will be Osborne's emergency Budget next month. If Cameron and Osborne continue to follow the early new Labour model, the Budget will be reasonable and contain measures that meet the centre left's definition of "fairness", in the same way that Brown went out of his way to reassure the right about his prudence in relation to spending. Labour will fall straight into the old trap if it condemns the entire package. The same applies to a whole range of measures that will pour fourth in the coming months, from welfare to constitutional reform.
There will be much need and cause for genuine opposition to a coalition full of inexperienced policy makers and awkwardly matched ministerial partners, but like the Conservatives in 1997 Labour will be swept to the margins if it opposes indiscriminately. Selective support is much more likely to hasten the coalition's demise.

Master's Requirements
Did you know that 33 states require teachers to have a master's degree to stay certified in teaching?
Many schools of education now offer online MAT programs that provide increased flexibility by allowing aspiring or working teachers to attend class and complete coursework from any location that has an Internet connection. Online MAT programs are a practical option for students who have professional and personal commitments that make it difficult to obtain teaching certification through a full-time program.
The best online programs offer the same curriculum as the school's on-campus program and apply the same admission requirements. Providing students with the ability to communicate with instructors and classmates in a face-to-face online environment is another hallmark of a good online program. In addition, candidates in online MAT programs should be provided with the opportunity to complete student teaching fieldwork in the local community.
Click to learn more about getting your MAT online with our partner USC Rossier School of Education.
Arizona Teacher Prerequisite Coursework
All states require that certified teachers at a minimum have a Bachelor's degree. Additionally, some states have undergraduate credit hour requirements for certification in specialty areas. Arizona, however, does not have any undergraduate credit hour requirements.
Arizona Teacher Preparation

text: 000 FXUS63 KDLH 221746 AFDDLH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 1146 AM CST Wed Feb 22 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 1114 AM CST Wed Feb 22 2017 Increased precipitation chances and amounts for this afternoon/evening as a band of moderate to at times heavy rain showers move from west to east across the region, tracking along the Highway 2 corridor. Rain will changeover to snow as colder air moves in from the north this evening, and it is possible a brief period of moderate snowfall with some big wet flakes fall this evening before precipitation quickly comes to an end. The best chance for this quick transition to snow will be east of Grand Rapids, including the Twin Ports and parts of the north and south shores of Lake Superior. Just a quick few tenths of an inch expected, though a few isolated spots could see up to an inch. While some guidance does have a bit of elevated instability, the chance for a rumble of thunder seems fairly low, with the best chance across the I-35 corridor into northwest Wisconsin this evening. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday) Issued at 317 AM CST Wed Feb 22 2017 Patchy to areas of fog will once again linger through the morning hours today as sfc winds remain light, prohibiting boundary layer mixing. As of 300 AM CST, some thicker fog has developed along the southern periphery of our forecast area from Hinckley west to the Brainerd Lakes as dewpoint depressions appear lower there than locations along our north. Much like yesterday morning, there could be some pockets of dense fog. Dense Fog Advisory issuance is not expected at this time, but will continue to monitor through the early morning hours. The main short-term forecast focus for today will be a mid-level shortwave that is expected to enter the region late this morning and persisting through the early morning hours Thursday. The mid-level isentropic lift has shifted farther south compared to the corresponding model runs from yesterday, along with a very moist atmospheric profile, as indicated from the 22.00z GFS/NAM model soundings. Precipitation types look to be mainly a wintry mix across our northern counties, with rain for the afternoon before turning into a rain/snow mix later this evening. The Storm Prediction Center has general thunder mentioned across our southern counties for today, but inspection of the GFS/RAP soundings indicate very small amounts of elevated CAPE for the BRD and HYR areas, with amounts reaching as high as 20 J/kg. The NAM soundings indicated higher amounts, but the NAM typically has a high bias when it comes to CAPE amounts. Moreover, soundings are indicating broken to overcast sky cover for today at this time, so destabilization doesn`t appear to be likely. So, for now, left out mentions of thunder. Due to the increased moisture, the models have increased their progged QPF from previous runs, and I have adjusted the forecast accordingly. The majority of the QPF will fall as rain as any snow amounts look to be light. Through Wednesday night, only up to one inch of new snow accumulations are expected, with the highest amounts falling over the MN Arrowhead and Lake Superior snowbelt regions. Today`s highs will be a bit cooler than what we have had the last few days, with values in the lower 40s to lower 50s across most of the Northland. Thursday is looking quiet and dry as the mid-level shortwave moves off to the east, and a 850-600 mb dry intrusion moves in. However, Thursday`s highs will return to closer to seasonal normals after cold air advection occurs behind the departing system. Highs for Thursday look to be in the mid 30s to lower 40s for most locations, except for near freezing along the International Border. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Tuesday) Issued at 317 AM CST Wed Feb 22 2017 Model differences prevail for the potential winter storm Thursday night through Friday night. The GFS takes the surface low center into western Iowa Thursday night, through Iowa Friday, then through southern Wisconsin Friday night. The ECMWF takes the surface low center into northern Missouri Thursday night, then quickly through northern Illinois into western lower Michigan Friday, finally reaching Quebec Friday night. The GEM takes it into the Nebraska/Missouri border area Thursday night, southwest Iowa Friday, then develops a secondary low center in lower Michigan Friday night with the main low center in western Illinois. Will issue a winter storm watch for Pine through Price counties for Thursday night through Friday night as this area seems to be primed for greater than 6 inches of snow. Used a model blend to account for the model differences. A positively tilted upper level long wave trof will move through the forecast area Saturday night and Sunday. This will push a weak cold front through the region. Moisture is sparse for these features to work with and have chance pops. High pressure follows behind for Sunday night and Monday morning. Model differences remain quite large for Monday night and Tuesday and will use a model blend for pops to resolve the differences. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 1146 AM CST Wed Feb 22 2017 VFR conditions will deteriorate to IFR for a period this evening across BRD/DLH/HIB with MVFR conditions at INL/HYR. An area of rain showers changing over to snow will impact most sites, with a period of moderate rain/snow at BRD/HIB and likely at DLH. A short period of moderate snow is possible at DLH which could reduce visibility down to a mile or less early this evening, but as the precipitation quickly comes to an end ceilings should gradually improve towards Thursday morning. MVFR ceilings may stick around into the day Thursday at BRD/HYR, with a lower chance at DLH. There is a very low chance for an embedded thunderstorm late afternoon/early evening at BRD, DLH, and HYR, but these chances seem to low to even mention in the latest TAFs. Winds out of the north to north-northwest through the period, possibly breezy with gusts around 15 knots for a period late afternoon/early evening, then becoming light after midnight. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Punch: The Delights (and Dangers) of the Flowing Bowl by David Wondrich
Caribou Island by David Vann
The Petting Zoo by Jim Carroll
A Call for Judgment: Sensible Finance for a Dynamic Economy by Amar Bhidé
Since the 2007–2009 "WACK!" exhibition in Los Angeles and New York, there has been a passionate reinvestigation of feminist art. Amelia Jones, to give just one example, wonders in a recent X-Tra magazine essay whether feminist artists have regressed to a desire to "make money out of the bodies (and the bodies-of-work) of women." What better time, then, to publish Correspondence Course? This letter collection offers insights from many of the artists who started these debates in the first place, Carolee Schneemann in particular. Since the late '50s, her paintings, installations, and films have examined representations of the female body, simultaneously honoring its sacredness and grappling with its sexual allure (or abjection). One of her most notorious performances, Meat Joy (1964), placed writhing naked bodies on a stage strewn with raw fish, chickens, sausages, and wet paint.
Spanning forty-five years, this book includes exchanges with experimental filmmakers Anthony McCall and Stan Brakhage, choreographer Yvonne Rainer, poet Dick Higgins, and critic Carol Wikarska, among others. One expects fiery feminist missives from Schneemann, and on this front the book frequently delivers. Like her art, Schneemann's letters have a peppery charisma, one that imbues her correspondence with a brand of poignant and sensitive, but never quite vitriolic, militancy—not to mention a flair for free association and all-caps diatribes ("I AM ELECTRICAL VULVIC BOLT IN TIME I BLEED MY MONTHS NOT YOUR CALENDAR," she writes in a 1975 letter to poet Clayton Eshleman). The tension between feminist

CLOSED: The Orrery
15 Union St, Ryde, Isle Of Wight, England, PO33 2ER
Small vegetarian cafe situated in a lavish Grade II listed building. The menu is concise, serving snack type food. Cafe area has muralled walls and ceiling depicting the inside of a celestial globe, based on Alice and her famous trip through Wonderland. A giant planetarium is located in the ceiling. The rear of the building is a small museum devoted to the life and work of Donald McGill, King of the Saucy Seaside Postcard. 2.5 hours away from London Waterloo, you can get a train ticket which includes the ferry. The cafe and museum will close for periods when out of season, so please check both websites if you should decide to visit. OCT 2014 REPORTED SHUT BY HC MEMBER.

Friendly amazing place - Edit
I spent the long week end in Ryde and on Monday lunchtime I went to the Orrery. The place is literally amazing, especially if you like Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland, and/or you want to have a laugh with funny vintage postcards (there's a museum in the cafe).
You can have lunch in the Orrery (with panini, felafel...), and you can also have the standard cafe stuff. I also ended up buying a 70s postcard about rabbits, as I saw a lot of them walking around the island.
Pros: Friendly staff, Amazing place, Low prices
Cons: Small choice
Lunch at the Orrery - Edit
The 3 of us went for lunch midweek. We were served wonderful coffee with soya milk and falafel pockets with salad. It was the only vegan option. We had to wait about 40 mins for it, but was incredibly delicious. All came to around 20 pound which isn't bad.
The place is very interesting with a picture postcard museum and a spiral staircase down to the loos. There's plenty of information around about things happening on the island and local newspapers and magazines available for reference.
Don't miss the shiny ball outside of the building above the entrance!!
Pros: Interesting quirky place. , Nice wholesome meal , Nice service and reasonable value
Cons: Not a lot of choice , Little small
Vegan-friendly café on the Isle of Wight - Edit
We went to the Orrery about a week ago and had a nice time there. It's a sort of hip place with interesting interior explained by the fact that they're a museum at the same time.
All their three dishes of the day turned out to be vegan so we decided to try the hotpot (see picture above) and a toasted bagel with vegan cream cheese as well as a small soup (butternut pumpkin and white beans) which was all very tasty and not too pricy.
We both got a glass of orange juice and tried a piece of gluten-free vegan fruit cake (which was a bit dry) and two macaroon fingers. All in all we paid 17 pounds.
We wanted to come back the next day to try their jacket potatoes but it didn't work out unfortunately.
The two ladies working in the Orrery were quite friendly and helpful concerning vegan options. Confronted with the few options for vegans on the Isle of Wight I would certainly recommend this place to others.
They also serve coffee and hot chocolate with soya milk and have some small internet cafe as well as free wi-fi for guests.
Pros: many vegan options, interesting atmosphere

Caryne 22 Feb 2013 - I would suggest the above review is totally ignored. After several emails with the owner it seems that the above menu was served for only a few weeks and has now stopped. There is no longer any 'full meals' being served and though the snacks are vegetarian there is very little for vegans except a 'felafel in pitta bread' and a 'flapjack'. Sadly it seems the owners feel there is little demand for vegan/vegetarian meals to be served in this location.Perhaps it's up to us vegans/vegetarians to go there and prove him wrong?
22 Feb 2013 -
Maybe instead of just writing emails you should actually go and try this place. I went there less than a month ago so it's not very likely that suddenly the whole menu has been changed. Maybe the owner didn't write friendly emails to you - however, my partner and I were treated in a very friendly way by the staff and it might be better to get an own idea of what it is like and, as you have already said, raise the demand for vegan options.
When I was there, they didn't have flapjacks or felafel in pitta bread - strange. Sounds like, since you are closer to them, you should go and see and update us on it :-) It would be a shame if one of the few 100% veggie places on the IOW had changed in such a disappointing way.

Adobe Captivate, TechSmith Camtasia Studio, Articulate Storyline: Production Times
I Came, I Saw, I Learned
by Kevin Siegel One of the more common questions that I get from new eLearning developers is how much time it will take to produce published content. For instance, which eLearning tool are you going to use to produce the lessons? Is it Adobe Captivate? While there's a hot debate as to which of these tools is the best for eLearning, all three are capable. Here's another factor: how many minutes of eLearning playtime are you looking to produce? have extensive experience using Adobe Captivate and TechSmith Camtasia Studio.

Articulate Storyline vs. Adobe Captivate
I Came, I Saw, I Learned
A recent LinkedIn post asked eLearning developers: which tool is best: Adobe Captivate or Articulate Storyline? As However, PowerPoint, Storyline and Captivate are robust development tools and if you aren't trained, you'll quickly find yourself doing the "hunt and peck" shuffle as you learn on-the-fly. It depends mainly on two things: your budget to purchase an eLearning tool (are you a one-person shop buying a single license or are you part of a team requiring multiple licenses?); and the output you are trying to provide your learners.

Adobe Flash Professional is undoubtedly the most popular tool for custom eLearning development. With the help of its inbuilt programming language ActionScript developers can code interactions, communicate with servers, program animations etc. It has many new APIs and better performance which were not available in the previous versions of ActionScript [AS 1.0 & AS 2.0] and is well backed by a great Flash developer community that has contributed in developing many open source frameworks/classes/APIs. can load and play the files developed in AS 1.0

eLearning: The Origins of a Training Methodology
I Came, I Saw, I Learned
by Kevin Siegel I've been creating eLearning since the early 1990s. Back then, eLearning (or E-Learning, pick your style) was known as CBT (Computer Based Training). Then RoboDemo came out (RoboDemo later became Adobe Captivate) and I was quick to add that to my toolbox. As I mentioned above, I began developing eLearning 20 years ago.
eLearning: Determining the Best Size for Today's Lessons
I Came, I Saw, I Learned
by Kevin Siegel When developing eLearning lessons using any of the top development tools (Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, or TechSmith Camtasia Studio), you need to take the size of your learner's device into account. If you make your eLearning lesson too large (I'm talking width and height, not how many megabytes the lesson might be), learners with small displays may have to scroll to see your content. Because screen resolutions are higher than ever, developers are seeking an optimal viewing experience for learners.

The 47th Annual Merrie Monarch in Hilo, Hawaii: April 4th through April 10th 2010
Aloha ka kou! With the ending of Spring Break comes the busiest and most
prosperous time in Hilo, Hawaii and that is the Annual Merrie Monarch. This year
I will be dancing with my cousin's group. I will just say that we live on the same island.
I love this time of year because it perpetuates the Hawaiian culture in song and dance.
My heritage and my love for my people is evident when I dance and when I
smile. I will leave you with a song sung and performed live by one of my
cousins, the song is called, E O Mai.
Moanalani :)

Seafood Choices Alliance is an international program of SeaWeb that provides leadership and creates opportunities for change across the seafood industry and ocean conservation community. We're about synergies and identifying creative solutions to long-held challenges. By building relationships and stimulating dialogue, Seafood Choices is encouraging and challenging all sectors of the seafood industry along the road toward sustainability.
Back to top >
The ocean is in crisis, and regulation of the fishing industry alone has, thus far, failed to adequately protect our resources. More than 75 percent of the world's fisheries are already fully exploited or severely depleted. At the same time, demand for seafood is increasing. Aquaculture holds great promise for the future, but certain practices pose their own problems. Seafood Choices is helping the seafood industry to meet this demand and ensure a lasting supply of seafood for the future.
Seafood Choices was created in 2001 by SeaWeb, a nonprofit organization, working in collaboration with chefs, wholesalers, retailers and fishermen who shared a concern for ensuring a healthy ocean and a stable supply of seafood. Founding members include:
In 2005, Seafood Choices expanded its reach with the launch of its European program. Seafood Choices now operates offices in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom with activities that focus on the North American and European markets.
As of September 2008, Seafood Choices is no longer a membership-based program.
Since 2001, we have existed as a membership-based program of SeaWeb, engaging chefs, restaurateurs, conservationists, fishermen, processors, retailers and others in the seafood industry to help make the seafood market more sustainable. Seven years and nearly 4,000 members across over 70 countries later, it became clear we needed to adapt our structure in order to best service this collaborative work and to keep pace with the rapidly growing movement.
The breadth and diversity of the audiences we engage is just one example of how the market for responsible seafood has grown in recent years. Convening voices across diverse stakeholder groups, gathering intelligence and sharing knowledge is what you've told us you find most effective about Seafood Choices' work – and it's where we are focusing our efforts today and for the future.
Although we will no longer have "membership", we plan to continue to work closely with you. Through our expanded series of gatherings and events, we look forward to plenty of opportunities to deepen our work with you around the world or in your own neighborhood.
Your details will remain in our database so that we can keep you up to date about dialogues and convening opportunities, the Seafood Summit, Seafood Champions Awards and relevant outcomes and learning from our other gatherings. This information will be sent on an ad-hoc basis, in electronic format.
The removal of the membership title will mean something different to different people and we would be happy to discuss it with you if you have any concerns, but we do not expect you to notice any significant change, as our true relationship with you remains the same. It simply became clear that growing our membership was not nearly as important as deepening our engagement through targeted convenings with so many of you. You have been, and remain, a vital part of the movement towards the sustainability of seafood.
Seafood Choices Alliance works with a number of conservation organizations that provide consumer guides to assist in choosing the best seafood options, both from environmental and health perspectives. In the United States, these organizations include Blue Ocean Institute, Environmental Defense, the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program. In the United Kingdom and Europe, a number of guides are available from Greenpeace, the Marine Conservation Society, North Sea Foundation, and WWF.
For a more complete list of organizations that provide recommendations, please click here.
Yes! Seafood Choices Alliance, as well as many of our partners, has created a variety of tools to help professionals make smart sourcing decisions. A list of links to many of these tools can be found in Resources.
Seafood Choices Alliance recently released Le Guide des espèces à l'usage des professionnels, a French-language buyer's guide for European markets. This guide seeks to collate the information professionals need for responsible seafood procurement. It is the first of its kind to be published in France, Belgium or Switzerland and provides seafood buyers with environmental and scientific information on over 60 popular fish species.
New! Good Catch, a partnership of four organizations – Marine Conservation Society (MCS), Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), Seafood Choices Alliance and Sustain – has recently published The Good Catch Manual: A rough guide to seafood sustainability for chefs, restaurateurs and caterers. This guide is specifically designed to help restaurants and related businesses in the United Kingdom improve the sustainability of the seafood they buy, serve and promote.
Properly handling and preparing seafood are precautions that consumers, suppliers, retailers, and restaurateurs alike can take to ensure the safety of seafood. Much of the attention surrounding seafood and human health, however, has to do with toxic contaminants – most notably methyl mercuryand PCBs – present in certain seafood products before they enter the supply chain. These contaminants, largely produced through human activities, make their way into our rivers, lakes, and ocean, eventually finding their way into fish and other marine life. How much of these toxins accumulates in the human body, and the risks posed by this accumulation, greatly depends on the gender and age of the person consuming seafood, what types of seafood he/she consumes and the frequency of consumption. The most at-risk groups are young children, pregnant or nursing women, and persons with compromised immune systems.
The good news is that there are many healthy choices. Species that are lower on the food chain – such as sardines and oysters – contain lower levels of contaminants than do predatory species like bluefin tuna, swordfish and sharks.
