Always start by going through your closet for the perfect outfit and pair it up with some stylish shoes like a pair of Jimmy Chos or your newest pair of Manolo Blahniks. If you're indecisive, leave a few outfits and shoes out on your bed and make the final decision when you're ready to actually get dressed.
But before you do anything, make sure your purse is ready. Switch from your giant daytime bag to your glamorous much smaller nighttime purse. Fill it with all the necessities—gum/mints, cell phone, money, ID, make-up, condoms, keys and anything else you might need. Always make sure to pack as light as possible, though.
If you're in a rush, go for a shower. But, if you have a leisurely hour or two before you head out, opt for a luxurious bath. My favorite thing to do is to throw in a Sabon Lilac Bath Ball or a dash of Lavender Bath Foam—it's light and not overpowering and you can still dab on some perfume later. With a shower, you can use some hand-milled soap to smooth your skin and have a delicate scent—go for Bamboo, Grass, Green Tea soaps from Sabon. While you're drying off, wash your face with Aloe Vera Cleanser, apply Seaweed Cleanser to a cotton ball to remove the remaining dirt and put some Seaweed Moisture Lotion to your face and Eye Cream under your eyes. Brush your teeth, apply your makeup and you're done.
Once you've decided on the perfect outfit and have it on, add some jewelry and accessories like some faux flowers in your hair, a jeweled headband or a simple barrette. Understated is always best so everyone will be eyeing your clothes and more importantly your shoes. Dab a few drops of perfume on your neck and behind your ears, and you're ready for a night on the town. Check your purse one last time to make sure you haven't forgotten anything like your lipstick or eyeliner. And if you're going to be walking a lot, you might want to throw in a pair of flats.

To assemble a museum collection from scratch is a formidable task, and the wing has made gratifying progress toward this goal. The present collections attest to an unparalleled history of gifts and contributions from a devoted group of friends.
Today the ten curatorial departments of the art wing form four units, each with a number of departments with related subject matter and activities: the departments of European Art and Modern Art; the departments of Israeli Art, Contemporary Art, and Design and Architecture (including the Art Garden, Information Center for Israeli Art, and Ticho House); the departments of Prints and Drawings and Photography; and the department of Asian Art and the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas.
The wing presents a wide range of exhibitions annually and an increasing number of these travel abroad to venues around the world. For example, after opening in Jerusalem in 2000, Dreaming with Open Eyes: The Vera and Arturo Schwarz Collection of Dada and Surrealist Art in the Israel Museum drew nearly 500,000 visitors to two tour cycles, first in North America and then in Latin America. Double Dress, the first mid-career retrospective of artist Yinka Shonibare, was presented at the Israel Museum in 2002 and then traveled to contemporary venues in Helsinki and Milan.
More than any other part of the Israel Museum, the Edmond and Lily Safra Fine Arts Wing reflects the encyclopedic character of the Museum's collections. Its exceptional diversity inspires exhibitions, both permanent and temporary, that create rich visual and content-based juxtapositions that illuminate revelatory connections between widely varied cultures.

SAN FRANCISCO—At its public meeting on February 25-26, the Judicial Council voted to approve a plan that delays 11 more courthouse construction projects pending restoration of court construction funds in the state budget for fiscal year 2013–2014. (listen, 19 min)
The council approved the contingency plan in case no court construction funding is restored, but also agreed to request funding so that all active courthouse projects could proceed in the upcoming fiscal year if possible.
"Our working group feels strongly that efforts should be made to secure full funding for this year," said Justice Brad Hill, chair of the Court Facilities Working Group and Administrative Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal, Fifth Appellate District. "We are seeking the return of all or a portion of those funds that were raised from court users for the express purpose of building court facilities. We understand the difficult fiscal environment the state is in, but further delay will imperil our vital infrastructure and compromise the safety of those citizens who use our courts. At the same time, we realize that we must be very prudent and extremely careful with the public's money. Our ongoing, aggressive cost-reduction efforts have already cut $115 million from court construction budgets to date."
By fiscal year 2013–2014, nearly $1.5 billion of court user fees originally designated by the Legislature to be set aside for court construction will have been borrowed, transferred to the state General Fund, or redirected to court operations. The Governor's proposed budget for 2013–2014 would redirect another $200 million in court construction funds to trial court operations. It would also postpone repayment of a $90 million loan from the court construction fund. In the last 14 months, the Judicial Council has cancelled 2 projects, delayed 7 indefinitely, and at its January meeting, it adopted a plan to delay indefinitely 4 more projects pending resolution of the Budget Act for the upcoming fiscal year.
Other items on the council meeting agenda included:
Update of the Resource Assessment Study Model: The council approved the updated Resource Assessment Study (RAS) model parameters for use in estimating court staff workload, observing that the RAS model is not intended to set the funding needs for any courts, but is one tool to be used in the budgeting process. The updated parameters consist of new caseweights and new formulas that produce more accurate workload estimates. The RAS model was first approved by the Judicial Council in 2005.
Trial Court Trust Fund Allocations: 2 Percent State-Level Reserve: The council approved a supplemental funding request by the Superior Court of Kings County for costs related to replacing its case management system. The council also approved that the balance of the reserve fund be proportionally allocated back to the trial courts after March 15.
Remote Video Proceeding Pilot Project in Fresno: The council approved an application from the Superior Court of Fresno County to establish a remote video proceeding pilot project for traffic infraction cases under California Rule of Court, rule 4.220.
Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) Restructuring: Administrative Director of the Courts Judge Steven Jahr presented for council consideration three specific items related to the restructuring of the AOC. The council made the following decisions:
The AOC Restructuring Directives, as approved by the council on August 31, 2012, specifically directs the Administrative Director of the Courts to report to the council's Executive and Planning Committee before each Judicial Council meeting on every directive. This informational report provides an update on the progress of implementation efforts for all of the directives.
The meeting agenda and reports considered during the meeting are posted on the California Courts website. In addition, an archived audiocast of the meeting will be posted early next week.

Harkaway, Nick. Angelmaker
All his life, Joe Spork has been caught between the legacy of his grandfather Daniel, a brilliant and honest clockmaker, and his father Mathew, a vivacious and larger-than-life criminal mastermind who ruled London's underground world. As a child, Joe ran wild in Mathew's world as Crown Prince of Crime, learning the hidden ways of the gangster. But after his father's death and his mother's retreat into a convent, Joe took up Daniel's legacy, becoming a clockmaker and running the store he inherited from his grandfather. When an old friend of Joe's brings him a client with a fabulous piece of antique clockwork needing repair, Joe's quiet life is disrupted with explosive consequences. The clockwork device is no toy, it seems, but is actually part of a weapon of mass destruction developed by a French genius a generation before but never deployed—until Joe repaired it and turned it on unknowingly. Now Joe is caught between shadowy governement agents, a strange group of cultists calling themselves the Ruskinites, an old enemy from Britain's past, and a now-elderly former spy named Edie Banister, all of whom want control of the device—the Angelmaker. And Joe must embrace parts of himself he'd thought long in his past if he's going to not only survive, but save the world in the bargain.
This impressive, intriguing, and complex novel is impossible to categorize. Part steampunk romp, part espionage thriller, part gangster adventure, with dollops of romance and philosophy dropped in for good measure, the only thing one can call this novel for sure is great fun. You might not know quite what you're reading, but you're going to love it all the same. Muscular prose, endless inventiveness, and truly engaging characters put the icing on this particular cake.

This year the Solar Decathlon expands beyond houses. For the first time, the event shares the Orange County Great Park venue with The XPO, an exposition so eco-conscious and energy-efficient, it doesn't need the "E". With an eye for innovation and education, the XPO includes such activities as the SunShot Innovation Pavilion, showcasing manufactures and products, the Transportation Zone for those interested in hybrid and electric vehicles, and workshop-oriented Farm + Food Lab for kids and adults.Over on Decathlete Way, the collegiate teams are also expanding their thinking beyond the walls of their solar-powered houses. Mirroring a growing desire among students and designers to tackle social and climate-related issues more profoundly, several teams have taken on a greater mission with their projects.
Hailing from Vermont, an area hit hard by direct and indirect economic impacts of Hurricane Irene, Norwich University's entry is designed for affordability and to raise the standard of housing in the New England region. The team's website cite a statistic stating that in 2010, 47% of renters and 38% of Vermont homeowners paid more than one-third of their income for housing. So Norwich positioned its project, The Delta T-90 House, to serve a family earning 20% less than median income. From a design angle, the house is somewhat limited, since it is based on the specifications of a factory-built home in order to keep costs down. However, the façade features a cedar rainscreen made to resemble a Vermont barn and cozy insulated walls with R-values over 50.
Team Kentucky/Indiana is a joint project between University of Louisville, Ball State University, and University of Kentucky. Their entry, The Phoenix House, is intended to be a permanent solution for disaster relief housing. The design was inspired by the EF-4 tornado that hit Henryville, Ind., in March 2012. The house is super-structural, employing a steel chassis, durable SIP panels, and roof trusses that enable the structure to withstand tornado speed winds. In fact, the bathroom doubles as a safe room.
Clair Ainsworth, who is finishing her masters in sustainable design at Catholic University, led me through the tour of Harvest House, by Team Capitol DC: The Catholic University of America, George Washington University, and American University. As she walked up the ramp made of reclaimed wood, she pointed out the abundant herbs, vegetables, and flowers that surround the house. "We want to heal through all senses: sight, taste, smell, touch," she told me.
Healing is crucial to Team Capitol DC's design; after the Solar Decathlon, the house will be donated to Wounded Warrior Homes, a nonprofit organization supports armed forces vets with traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder, and installed on a property in Vista, Calif. The entry features bright green passively activated sunshades, non-off gassing materials, and is ADA accessible.
Faculty advisor Bill Jelen, who runs the School of Architecture's design collaborative outreach program at Catholic University, explains that the ideas behind Harvest House came directly from the students: "It is my job to use the talents of the university to help students learn through design, and do good."

GSA Survey Provides Guidance to Federal Agencies
July 2, 2007
Contact: Diane Merriett, (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – GSA today reported the results of its 2006-2007 Government-Wide Assessment Survey (GWA Survey) of Citizen Service Activities conducted to identify how the federal government can improve customer relations and the quality of service provided to the American taxpayer.
"Americans are increasingly turning to the web for information, questions, and comment. Advances in web-based technology are fueling this phenomenon as citizens are more and more likely to get the results they are seeking on their own without relying on federal government staff", said Martha Dorris, Deputy Associate Administrator for GSA's Office of Citizen Services. "As a result, and in keeping with the President's Management Agenda, our government is working diligently to meet this increasing level of sophistication citizens expect when they have complex questions and need assistance from their government."
The GWA Survey, conducted by GSA's USA Services, studied more than 200 federal offices within 35 departments and agencies to understand where and how citizens interact with government agencies, and analyze the day-to-day issues agencies face in providing service to citizens.
Survey questions sought to discover what challenges federal agencies face in providing citizens with customer service, such as decreasing budgets, adopting new technologies and increasing awareness of the services offered to citizens.
Among the survey's recommendations:
• Promote consolidation of citizen service activities within agencies
• Promote consolidation of data sources
• Promote professionalization of customer service
• Establish an Interagency Customer Service Work Group
• Develop customer service guidance
• Foster increased awareness of service availability
The survey, available at usaservices.gov, is an expanded follow-up to the Budget Data Request conducted by the Office of Management and Budget in 2004. USA Services will evaluate the results to drive the development of new products and services to help agencies and their customer service professionals.
USA Services is a Presidential E-Gov initiative residing within GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Communications.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 205,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and e-travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? USA.gov received more than 84 million visits during the past year.

Did you know...
- People are spending more time than ever before at work, resulting in our worksites playing a large part in our overall health?
- Many women return to work shortly after giving birth, however, a majority of workplaces do not offer accommodations for breastfeeding women to express milk at work?
- The Children's Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative provides companies that advertise foods and beverages to children with a way to shift their advertising so that they encourage healthy food and beverage choices?
- An unhealthy workforce impacts employers' bottom lines?
- Poor health among workers is associated with workers being absent, being less productive at work, and costing employers more in health care costs.

ShapingNJ Strategies
All agencies and organizations are worksites or businesses and can encourage or participate in activities that make healthy food and physical activity easy for New Jerseyans.
Encourage New Jersey businesses to accommodate breastfeeding women.
- The Business Case for Breastfeeding, a resource that educates employers about the benefits of worksite programs, including providing a space for women to express milk, should be distributed widely.
Encourage the food and beverage industry to engage in advertising that promotes healthy eating for children, in partnership with the New Jersey Food Council, the New Jersey Better Business Bureau and others.
- Expand participation among New Jersey companies in the voluntary Children's Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative of the national Better Business Bureau.
- Create a customized initiative for New Jersey that covers all forms of advertising and targets local and regional food retailers who have a significant presence in the state.
Disseminate model worksite wellness policies and programs to the business community.
- Promote health screenings, increased options for healthy food and physical activity and weight loss counseling in the workplace.
- Highlight improvements in employee health and financial benefits for employers.
Highlights and Accomplishments
ShapingNJ is working to make healthy food and physical activity accessible in worksites and business. Some highlights include:
- NJ ONF partnered with researchers at Montclair State University in 2011 to conduct a survey of NJ hospitals to collect baseline data about lactation support programs.
- Cooper University Hospital created a lactation support room in the hospital for employees and hospital visitors to use.

Harrison Ford Gossip
Harrison Ford gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Star Wars has a stupid title
W8 Media/ Splash
There's an epidemic in Hollywood, a rash spreading through production offices like a bad case of pink eye, and it's the trend of dumb subtitles given to franchise pictures. My #1 stupid title punching bag is Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which I call Superhero Face Punch because that is clearly a better, more to-the-point title. Full Story
Elderly person breaks leg, internet melts
A couple weeks ago, Harrison Ford, who is seventy-one, broke his ankle when a door on the Millennium Falcon set fell on him. At first it was made to sound like no big deal, but over the last couple weeks, rumors have swirled as to the true extent of his injury—maybe he hurt his hip as well, or broke some ribs, or shattered into hundred thousand pieces like glass. Full Story
There will be a "young Han Solo" movie
All your nightmares are coming true. In a move that surprised no one, Disney chief Bob Iger announced that not only are they continuing Star Wars with Episode VII, but they'll also make spin-off films of popular characters. EW is reporting that two of the projects are centered on the origin story of Han Solo and a "bounty hunter adventure" starring Boba Fett (the guy who hands Han over to Jabba the Hutt at the end of Empire Strikes Back). Full Story
I've been staring at her side breast...
For at least 15 minutes. So long I have to stop, it's giving me a headache. And I don't feel at all pervy about it either. I don't think you wear a dress like this, or design it to begin with, without wanting people to wonder about that delicate sheer and how it's covering up the side breast. Full Story
Daniel Craig:Cowboys, Aliens, Dream House & Pants
This is the new cover of Entertainment Weekly in advance of the release of Cowboys & Aliens which I want to see so badly. But...I'm not loving the way that Daniel Craig's pants are not hanging on him here next to Harrison Ford. You? Cowboys & Aliens is the first of two expected massive box office hits for Daniel this year. Full Story
Rachel in Spain
Loved what she wore the other night in London at the UK premiere of Morning Glory – click here for a refresher – and LOVE what she's wearing today in Spain at the photocall. Except for the shoes. But a smock? Or at least the illusion of one? For me it's a win every time. Full Story
Rachel just barely
Rachel McAdams was in London tonight for the UK premiere of Morning Glory. I LOVE THIS DRESS SO MUCH. And she's just the right size for it. Meaning… she has modest breasts, which are the only breasts that can keep it decent. Otherwise it's oozing all over the place. Mine would be oozing all over the place. Full Story
Morning Glory lady wood
For Rachel McAdams. How hard are you for Rachel McAdams? Gorgeous Rachel McAdams quivered everyone at the NY premiere of Morning Glory last night. I mean, Michael Sheen didn't have a chance, did he? For those of you asking, far as I know, as of 2 weeks ago, they were still happening. The way she looks here, it's probably still happening. Full Story
No Bond at Comic-Con
As you know, Bond is on hold because MGM went broke. But that doesn't mean he's not working. He is working a lot. He's working on Cowboys & Aliens with Harrison Ford, directed by Jon Favreau, and they panelled this weekend at Comic-Con. Am told the script for this is amazing. Scheduled for release at the end of July 2011, Cowboys & Aliens is one of the most highly anticipated features next summer, and even Harrison Ford made an appearance to tweak the Nerd Herd.

Sustainability by the Numbers
Assessing our progress towards making our campus a more sustainable place to learn, live and work often involves a lot of number crunching to see what quantitative reductions we've made in any number of different metrics. The goal of this Sustainability newsletter is to share some of these numbers to show the progress we've made and some of the challenges we still face.
Paper Use – We use less paper and better paper
Paper use on campus has decreased substantially over the past several years due to an increased reliance on electronic communication and access to appropriate tools to reduce paper use (copiers that allow scan to email; Moodle; PeopleSoft, tablet laptops etc.). As shown below, we use 33% less paper now than five years ago, and we've transitioned to buying and using paper that has more than 75% post-consumer recycled content. The info graphic shows the impact of our paper use in terms of readily understood systems. The smaller numbers for 2013 shows that we are saving a lot of trees and energy with the paper changes we have already accomplished!
Yearly SAVINGS - 2013 versus 2008
Saving paper can be hard. We learned through the recent Print-Free Day that paper based homework assignments are still demanded by most instructors and there are paper intensive operations for which electronic approaches do not exist. But Print-Free Day did have an impact! Printing on the networked library and computer room printers was 60% less than the average daily paper use for the rest of the work week. Although it is acknowledged that there were some computer queue snafus that helped reducing the amount of printing, many people commented on their successful efforts to find alternative means to accomplish their tasks without printing.
We generate a lot of waste!
Trash on the Lawn Day on October 23rd really showed the amount of waste that we generate on campus. And most of it is related to Food. Food packaging, to-go boxes and cups, and food waste comprise a very large fraction of our campus' waste stream.
But we need to eat! You can all do your part by participating in the new re-useable To-Go boxes, bring your own coffee cup, or re-fill your water bottle with healthy water rather than buying a soda. And most importantly, food can be eaten rather than tossed out! The amount of food waste found in the trash was substantial – over 1/3rd of the total weight of material sorted.
Anaerobic Digester – Can help to reduce impacts of food waste
Food waste can have some value when we use it to feed our anaerobic digester. Food from the Cheel Kitchen is feed daily to the digester to produce methane-rich biogas. The digester was feed an average of 138 lb/d of food waste in October. It is rated to handle 650 lb/d, so there is substantial capacity to divert more food waste from the landfill-bound trash to the digester. This will not only reduce cost and environmental impact associated with the landfill, it will also enable sufficient biogas generation to effectively make electricity and heat for the system. Students continue to work to find better ways to collect and transport food waste to the digester, operate the digester in an efficient manner, and convert the biogas to electricity and heat energy. Lots of learning and systems management is needed to make the most of the digester as a great campus resource.
Energy Efficiency Measures Make a Difference
The Campus Facilities Department under the Direction of Ian Hazen and now with the help of University Engineer Mike Tremper has been working hard to improve the efficiency of energy and water use in our buildings. We have added building area over the last several years, but the energy use has remained fairly constant. Improvements to the housing and lighting across campus have reduced our electricity use on a per square foot basis by 19% between 2007 and 2013. Water use has decreased by 32% over the same period! More efficient washing machines, low flow shower heads and sink aerators have all helped to improve the efficiency of our water use. The low flow sink aerators were installed by members of the SYNERGY Club, with the support of a grant from the Sustainability Fund and the NYSP2I Go Green on Campus competition.

text: PHYSICAL MAKEUP: DJ Fluker presents as a big, thickly built offensive tackle. He has a wide trunk and thick legs, both of which suggest success anchoring down and holding his position against NFL defensive linemen. Fluker measured in at the Senior Bowl at 6'4 7/8 and 355lbs. He won't be the tallest tackle in the NFL, but he meets the minimum height requirements for the position. He's a bit on the heavy side for what you'd like to see at either right or left tackle; his mearsureables (ht/wt) are more in line with what you'd expect from a guard. Fluker's not sloppy. He's got some excess beef around the midsection, but he doesn't look soft. The most impressive thing about Fluker's body-type is his length. His arms measured in at an astronomical 36 7/8 inches long. When Fluker gets a quick jump off the snap and uncoils his punch, there's not a defensive lineman in the country that will get into his body. His arm length is a major asset that will set him apart from similarly graded prospects. STRENGTH/PHYSICALITY Fluker is a mauler. He's a physical player who sticks to his assignment and gives 100% effort at all times. He possesses adequate to above-average strength for the position, and will fare well on the right side of an NFL offensive line. When Fluker has his hands in the power position, he drives the bus with ease. Rarely does he display inferior strength vs. his opponent. Fluker displayed solid technique and mechanics on a game-to-game basis. At times, Fluker's base can get too wide (beyond shoulder width) and it leaves him vulnerable to the quicker, lighter-footed defensive end. Fluker seems to rely too much on his strength, and as a result, he gets sloppy with his footwork and falls behind the defender. He doesn't project as a player that will mirror well on the next level; he is going to have to be quick off the snap and get his hands on his opponent early in pass protection. If not, he will get beat to the edge. MOVEMENT SKILLS/ATHLETIC ABILITY Fluker is a big, husky player. It's not surprising that it takes him a while to get moving. But the most concerning part of Fluker's tape is that on several occasions, he's one of the last linemen to move off the snap. That's a big red flag, as an NFL DE will be by you in the blink of an eye. Fluker is able to make up for a slower kick step with his long arms, checking the defender long enough to regain good position. However, there's enough concern with his initial movement to suggest he will struggle vs. speed rushers in the NFL. http://firstroundgrade.com/2013/01/30/scouting-the-ots-dj-fluker-alabama/

Gamecock Guarantee makes college accessible, affordable
A University of South Carolina program that covers tuition for its neediest in-state students is making college dreams a reality for more than 200 undergraduates in the program.
Established as the Gamecock Guarantee, the program is the only need-based scholarship plan of its kind in South Carolina. Two classes have been admitted since fall 2008. The program guarantees that students from the state's lowest-income families and who meet the entrance requirements of the university will have their tuition and technology fees covered for four years of study.
"The Gamecock Guarantee is helping to remove the financial barriers that have kept many South Carolina students from being able to attend the University of South Carolina," said Scott Verzyl, assistant vice provost for enrollment management. "The program enables students to earn a high-quality education and a degree from the state's premiere research university regardless of their financial circumstance."
A total of 211 students have enrolled at Carolina because of Gamecock Guarantee, which places students in one of three programs to ensure their academic success and adjustment to college life. The programs include the Opportunity Scholars Program, Capstone Scholars Program and the South Carolina Honors College.
Jordan Addison, a freshman and a graduate from Stratford High School in Goose Creek, said the Gamecock Guarantee has lifted financial burdens and allowed her to be a successful member of the campus community.
"When I think about the Gamecock Guarantee and the support that the Opportunity Scholars Program has provided for my first semester at USC, I feel blessed," Addison said. "I have been brought into a community of loving and caring professors, advisers and fellow students. There is a sense of community and a common bond that have been created by all involved in this program. More than anything, I am thrilled that, because of this program, I do not have to add any financial or emotional burdens to my mother. I have not had to ask her once to help me out financially with anything regarding paying for school. It is such a relief to know that because of this program, I can continue my dream of being at the University of South Carolina and continue to make my mom proud by accomplishing all that she has ALWAYS told me that I could."

LISTEN: Krewella - 'Alive' (Hardwell Remix)
Listen to Krewella on iHeartRadio
Krewella has been blowing up over the past year, and their single "Alive" has definitely proven their talent. But now, the song is getting a very big remix, from a very talented artist. Hardwell has put his spin on Krewella's hit with his remix, which he recently debuted at Coachella.
In an interview with Krewella, Hardwell says, "I love to do remixes of original tracks I really love. And I was already playing Alive." He goes on to say, "I love the vocals. I love the chords. I think the song is perfect. I fell in love with the song when I heard it for the first time."
His remix still preserves the mesmerizing Krewella vocals, but then kicks it up with a massive drop and a booming beat. The track is out now on Beatport.

- Family Dispute Resolution Fact Sheet
- Statewide Map of Mediation & Child Custody Recommending Counseling
Most California courts have a family court services department through which mediators and other professionals assist the public. These departments have been expanding their services to include families who are disputing custody or visitation in family and juvenile court, as well as other disputes involving guardianship, marriage between minors, adoption and so on.
In addition to training and the specific projects listed below, the FDR Unit works with trial court staff in these ways:
Faculty Development Project
The Family Dispute Resolution Court Exchange Visit Project
The Family Dispute Resolution unit is overseeing a project that facilitates and supports the collaboration among family dispute resolution (FDR) programs across the state.
FDR Statewide Educational Institute
This annual conference, budget permitting, brings together more than 400 California FDR directors and supervisors, mediators, and evaluators for mandated continuing education under rules 5.210, 5.225, 5.230 and 5.518 and other requirements under rule 10.474 (Trial court personnel) of the California Rules of Court.
Institute for New Court Professionals
This training is for newly hired child custody mediators and evaluators in the trial courts and provides a portion of the required training under California Rules of Court, rule 5.210, supplementing the orientation and training that local courts provide when a new staff person is hired.
FDR Regional Training
These one-day events are held in various regions throughout the state and are designed to address diverse regional interests and current needs or concerns. The FDR Unit partners with local courts to set up these local events.
FDR Directors Training
Annual training is provided for trial court family dispute resolution directors, managers, and supervisors. The annual training is provided at statewide events and/or regionally, depending upon budgetary resources.
Training Approval ProcessFor Program Providers:
For Participants:
To receive approval for an upcoming training or one already attended, and the training provider did not seek approval by the Judicial Council, the participant may submit a form with accompanying documents to the Judicial Council requesting approval for the training.
There are 4 types of training approval request forms:
Court-connected mediation supervisors and directors (CRC 5.210):
Court –connected child protection/dependency mediators (CRC 5.518):
Court-connected child custody evaluators/investigators (CRC 5.225):
The purposes of mediation, under Family Code 3161, are as follows:
Courts in California make available professionally trained mediators to meet with parties at no cost. Parties who obtain a private mediator outside the court will be responsible for all costs.
When parties reach an agreement through mediation, the mediator helps the parties draft the agreement for the parties, their attorneys (if represented), and the court. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement through mediation, the next step varies according to local court procedures. Some courts ask for more information from the parties during the court hearing; some courts require a report, with or without recommendations, regarding custody and parenting plans; and, other courts refer the parties to evaluation services. Parties can contact their local court for information about family court services programs.
Family Mediator Qualifications
Mediators are required to have a master's degree in a behavioral science substantially related to marriage and family interpersonal relationships and at least two years of experience in counseling or psychotherapy. They also are required to participate in annual continuing education training.
Juvenile Dependency Mediation
In California, juvenile dependency mediation is a confidential process conducted by specially trained, neutral third-party mediators who have no decision making power. Juvenile dependency mediation provides a nonadversarial setting in which a mediator helps parties reach a fully informed and mutually acceptable resolution that focuses on the child's safety and best interest and the safety of all family members. Juvenile dependency mediation is concerned with any and all issues related to child protection. California Rules of Court, rule 5.518 establishes mandatory standards of practice and administration for court-connected dependency mediation services.
Each program has a policy on who participates in mediation, but when possible, the parties should be directly involved. If the attorneys are not involved in the mediation, they must be given an opportunity to review and agree to any proposal before it is submitted to the court.
Participants may include child, parents, legal guardian, representatives from child protection agencies, attorneys, guardians ad litem, Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteers, other family members, other involved persons, professionals or support persons.
Juvenile dependency mediators do not make recommendations to the court. Mediators may draft agreements reached during mediation for submission to the attorneys and court.
Full Custody Evaluation. This is a comprehensive examination of the health, safety, welfare, and best interest of the child.
Partial Custody Evaluation. This is an examination of the health, safety, welfare, and best interest of the child that is limited by court order in either time or scope.
In California, evaluations can be conducted either by court staff or private professionals, depending on the local court's resources and structure. California Rule of Court 5.220 governs the purpose, responsibilities, scope and ethics of custody evaluators. California Rule of Court 5.225 addresses appointment requirements for child custody evaluators.
Domestic Violence Protocol for Family Mediation
By law, in cases in which there has been domestic violence, court-connected child custody mediators must meet with the parties separately at least initially (and in appropriate cases, such as where a request has been made, throughout the case) when any of the following circumstances exist:
Additionally, mediators may decide that separate sessions are appropriate and necessary in any case. They may also decide that a joint session must end and that mediation can continue only in separate sessions.
Support Persons
Courts must advise the party protected by a protective order of the right to have a support person attend any mediation orientation or mediation sessions, including separate mediation sessions.
Parties who are unsure whether separate or joint sessions are appropriate for their case should contact their local family court services unit or assigned mediator. Family court services personnel are trained to be sensitive to issues pertaining to domestic violence and to respond as needed.
Family Violence Protocol for Juvenile Dependency Mediation
Juvenile dependency mediation programs must have an intake process that screens for and informs the mediator about any restraining orders, domestic violence, or safety-related issues affecting the child or any other party named in the proceedings. A protocol for conducting mediation in cases in which violence has occurred is required of all programs. This protocol should include the following:
Parties who are concerned about their safety are strongly encouraged to contact their local juvenile dependency mediation provider to discuss their concerns. Juvenile dependency mediation personnel are trained to be sensitive to issues pertaining to family violence and provide accommodations as needed. Additional resources regarding domestic violence can be found here.
Domestic Violence Protocol for Child Custody Evaluation
When there has been a history of domestic violence between the parties or when there is a protective order in effect, at the request of the party alleging domestic violence in a written declaration under penalty of perjury or at the request of a party who is protected by the order, parties shall meet with the court-appointed investigator separately and at separate times.
Parties who are concerned about their safety should notify their court-appointed evaluator. Additional resources regarding domestic violence can be found here.
Domestic Violence Training Requirements
Family Mediators
Family court services mediators are required to complete 16 hours of advanced domestic violence training within the first 12 months of employment and 4 hours of domestic violence update training each year thereafter.
Juvenile Dependency Mediators
Juvenile dependency mediators are required to complete 40 hours of training within their first 12 months of employment, part of which includes training on family violence. They are also required to complete 4 hours each year after on issues of family violence.

text: Haleakala – is the fourth collaboration between kiho`alu (slack key) guitarist and GRAMMY® winner Jeff Peterson and internationally famous shakuhachi Grand Master Riley Lee. Like their best selling CD, Maui Morning, the Valley Isle of Maui inspired this recording. The shakuhachi (bamboo flute) is ideally suited to Hawaiian music, with its ability to play the soft melodies and rich harmonies, and the slides, bends, and other ornaments, with an expressive quality rivaled only by the human voice. Featuring refreshing interpretations of many of the most celebrated songs from Hawai`i, Haleakala also includes four original pieces inspired by the beauty and majesty of the Haleakala Mountain and the Haleakala Crater. Haleakala's soothing nahenahe (sweet) music calms the spirit and invigorates the soul.

When architect Michael Winstanley built an oceanside home on Provincetown Harbor, he called first and foremost on memory—specifically, his childhood recollections of summers spent in Provincetown, Mass., when the last bits of Cape Cod's seafaring industry still remained. "At one time, piers, fish houses, and sheds lined the harbor," says Winstanley. "When we were kids, half were gone and the rest were falling down. My brother and I used to play in the abandoned ones." Provincetown is no longer the fishing village it once was, but with its old harborscape still fresh in his mind, Winstanley designed a house that honors Provincetown's seafaring past.
The home's massing and lines are clean and contemporary, yet the forms recall those long-gone seafront shacks and storage sheds. The detailing invokes the past, too. The half-exposed fir piers that hold up the house were lathe-turned to resemble wharf supports. Exterior walls of board-and-batten red cedar are reminiscent of ship hulls and shack siding, while cedar cross-beams might remind you of a ship's mast and boom.
"Another thing that made a big impression on us as kids was that Provincetown was where the painters came to work," recalls Winstanley, referring to the town's history as a haven for artists. "The reason they all came out here is that with so little landmass, the light is incredible," he says. "In the morning, you get spectacular blues; in the afternoon, amazing reds and oranges. It was important that the house allow you to feel the light the way that painters do." To take full advantage, there are floor-to-ceiling windows, many transomed, on almost every wall of the house. Winstanley's wife, the photographer Jessica Marcotte ("she sees light better than anybody"), worked with him on the design.
Building a house on a sand dune poses specific demands, especially when the home has so many windows. The structure needs to be suspended on piers so that tide surges, wind, and rain can blow beneath it. And then there's the aesthetic challenge of making sure the propped-up house relates to the ground it sits on. By its nature, a pole structure is unstable; factor in hurricanes, and plenty of lateral reinforcement is essential. Two concrete walls perpendicular to the water provide most of the home's shear bracing. Windows at the home's west end are cross-braced with stainless steel rods, which let light in while offering protection. They're also a nod to P-town's industrial past.
You might assume that Winstanley is a sailor, given his reverence for the ocean and the waterfront. But he's simply an admirer, albeit a discerning one. "Boats are great design objects," he says. "I designed the house as an architect, but with a lot of thought about boat building."

More Affordable Health Insurance
If you or a family member has lupus, you already know how difficult—if not impossible—it can be to get appropriate health insurance coverage because the illness is deemed a "pre-existing condition."
Taking care of lupus often drains and even destroys family finances.
But thanks to recent measures taken by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, that's about to change.
As of July 1st, many people with a chronic "pre-existing condition" such as lupus who haven't been able to get insurance coverage for six months or more will:
In more than a third of states, the cost to be insured under the plan will plunge 40 percent. In some places, you will no longer have to wait for an insurance company to send you an "insurance denial" letter so that you apply for the special coverage.
Find out more about what you might be eligible for in your state today through this link:
You Helped
"Members of our Lupus Research Institute National Coalition of state and local lupus organizations are very pleased to see that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has taken these important steps to further reduce barriers to affordable health insurance for people with lupus," said LRI President Margaret Dowd.
"It's something we've fought for on Capitol Hill for several years, and are proud to see enacted on behalf of the 1.5 million Americans with lupus as well as millions of others with chronic illnesses."
The PCIP program lasts until 2014, when the new Affordable Care Act requires that insurance companies accept all applicants—regardless of their medical history.

haha nice, but thell smart up soon. nice to have that next door though, mines a 20min drive. have a good time with your free paint
haha nice, but thell smart up soon. nice to have that next door though, mines a 20min drive. have a good time with your free paint
i have touch and prismas... Touch markers suck, the middle of broad tip is dried out, so outside is thick, inside has no color... as well as the fine point dried out. ive only had them for like 3 months, and i dont really use them that often, and yes the caps were always on.,
prismas work great, smooth fills, perfect.
and i use paint markers to make light reflections, and black colored pencil for shadows on top of marker.
and i use highlighters alot too, theyre nice bright colors for quick fillins, tryin new styles. nice and easy and cheap.
jackpot, found em laying around my house
workes prety good so far
How the hell do u use prismas to blend n shit. It always comes out dark or some shit to me.
Touch markers suck IMO..
I racked quite many Sakura Permapauque markers, those work nice...
Dick blick is the fucking shit, i have one 3 mins from my house. That preffered customers and coupons shit is the best, I save so much fucking money. I wish they carried better sketchbooks for markers tho, I've used the 2 diff types they carry and they both shitty in different ways and the binding pisses me off so much, each page rip out.
Regardless of what I post I don't condone any illegal graffiti, although I stayed at a holiday inn once.
@zen permapaques are good just a little light and the white sucks
if ur lookin fo really high quality, yea id suggest copic cuz prismas will smear pencil lines. U have to erase every trace of pencil if u want ur piece to look really good with prisma. Myself, i use Marvy brush tips. not the best, but descent quality & pretty cheap.
I'm worse than all 7 deadly sins!
Cause i'll kill ya off wit tha speed of hurricane force winds!
i just stay simple an use sharpies an bics for fills an elmers paint markers for outlines. somtimes i use decos or prismas but i only have the basic packs. my favorites are the metallic prismas. stinky but super raw
I use Decos and painty's.... decos have a better tip so the fill is cleaner but paintys have more colors...
touch twins are pretty decent but a 12 pack will run you about 30 bucks which is about the same price as the new otr's and they're pretty sick too. If you're having problems with your markers bleeding get a better book. paper quality makes all the difference and black books tend to last longer than your markers hence, a smarter investment
You've officially been bombed!
i mainly use copics, hell lot of shitty markers, small poscas & for higlights a whiteout pen.

Prisma,elmers paint, decos, sharpie all work fine.
I suggest like a 70-80lbs paper, acid free. anything lower will bleed the slightest of inks.
should i ask for those otr markers advertised on the bs website for christmas? are they any good? do they tend to bleed through paper?
markers dont bleed through acid free paper? what kind of bbook should i get then?
or should i just get prisma markers?
Last edited by gunsofbrooklyn; 11-26-2008 at 06:32 PM.
sharpie paints, these ZIG brand 2 tip outliner, touch markers, chalk markers are nice for outlines, myni prismas (brush and chisel tips) and these water colour brushes that you squeeze.
Prisma and touch twin...i jus got some touch there ok now but ppl R saying they suck...
"Put it on their trains, on the lines they take to work, on their rooftops, on their highways, on anything just to make some people realize that culture isn't lost and that, at the very least, a small group of kids is fighting to keep it alive."
no lie and highlighters
I like both.

The number of convenience stores, now staple locations in some markets for bulk, skill crane and kiddie ride vendors, grew to a record 149,220 outlets last year. A survey by the National Association of Convenience Stores and AC Nielsen showed a modest increase of 1,094 stores last year, almost 1%.
This is good news for operators who have seen other high-traffic retail segments decline in recent years through store closures necessitated by a difficult economy. According to Nielsen, convenience stores account for 34.8% of all retail outlets in the U.S. That figure is significantly higher than the total number of other retail channels, including drugstores (40,727), supermarkets (33,192) and dollar stores (24,075).
"Our continued growth shows that our core offer of convenience resonates with customers, whether a fill up, quick snack or drink, or for fill-in groceries or take-out meals for time-starved consumers," said NACS chairman Dave Carpenter, president and chief executive of Denver-based J.D. Carpenter Companies Inc.
The convenience retailing industry continues to be dominated by single-store operators, which represent 62.9% of all c-stores (93,819), an increase of 0.7% over last year. There is also bifurcation within the industry. The only other company size that experienced growth was stores owned by companies with 500-plus stores. That total is now 21,738, an 8.9% increase over 2011.
Although the growth over the past year was relatively modest, industry officials point to the long-term advances over the past three decades. For example, at the end of 1982, the number of stores was 76,200, which increased to 100,800 stores in 1992 and to 132,400 stores in 2002.

2009 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Brian Cushing, OLB, USC
On talent alone, the USC product is just a notch below the more hyped Aaron Curry. Cushing has good size and strength, taking blockers very well on the second level and has the ability to shed them with ease. He closes hard on ball carriers at all points of the field, while maintaining containment. He is a very fluid athlete outside, with better football speed than the 4.68 he is listed for. Cushing possesses an unusual burst -- his best asset is his pass recognition ability. Seldom getting caught out of position, Cushing excels at covering backs and TEs. He is a ball hawk once the football is in the air, is very agile and fluid and has good sideline-to-sideline range. However, he is not a polished pass rusher. Cushing lacks technique and is somewhat rigid and too intense sometimes. He tends to over-pursue. His productivity at USC was not what one would expect from a player of his immense talent. One of the most talented players in this year's draft, Cushing is very versatile. Cushing can (and has) played defensive end, inside linebacker and even a little at safety. He is viewed as a strong side linebacker by most NFL scouts. A sure first rounder, he might possibly go as high as number 12th; it would not surprise many if Cushing turns out to be the best LB (inside or outside) of this draft. He is a playmaker with tremendous upside.

Prediction: 4th Round
Despite his good career, I can't understand why such issue is been thrown to the rookie player Brian Cushing. He was accused of using steroids and had been suspended until October, and had his rookie of the year title stripped from him. He's preserved his innocence throughout the whole ordeal, but should you look as some Brian Cushing before and after photos, you would unquestionably see a difference in size that is beyond any ideal weight gain. Whatever reason, he violated an important rule and he deserves to be suspended.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College athletic department and head coach Shannon Reid are pleased to announce that Mount Airy High School senior Taylor Hiatt signed her national letter of intent to play for the Tornados on November 10, 2010.
Hiatt is from Mount Airy, North Carolina where she plays under the high school head coach Howard Mayo. The two-time All-Conference award winner is a 5'9 frontcourt player, who has played all three frontcourt positions for Mount Airy High School and will bring a versatile inside and outside threat to the Brevard offense.
Hiatt is a two-time first-team All-Northwest Conference selection, with similar statistical averages of eight and a half points and six and a half rebounds for both her sophomore and junior seasons. She is also an 80% free throw shooter, and led the Mount Airy Lady Bears to a 27-3 record last year, all while advancing to the Elite Eight of the North Carolina high school playoffs.
"We are very excited to have Taylor join our Brevard Family. She is a hard working athlete that brings an aggressive style of play to our system. Her ability to defend, rebound, and score from different positions will allow her to make an immediate impact in our program. I look forward to her future as a Tornado." Coach Reid.
Hiatt not only excels on the court but takes pride in her responsibilities within the classroom, carrying an exceptional grand point average. She was being recruited by Pfeiffer University, Lees-McRae College, North Greenville University, and St. Bonaventure before deciding that Brevard was the choice for her.
The Brevard College women's basketball team continues their season on Saturday when they open their South Atlantic Conference schedule with Anderson University. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. at the Abney Athletic Center.
