can anyone give some insight on whether or not a Flickr Pro account is worth it?
I've been eating up my allowed space about halfway through each month which is kinda frustrating.
I just got a Rebel XSi and plan on stepping my game up alot. Should I upgrade or just be more selective with the shots I put up?

not my flickr, but something similar
What are the uploading limits to this? I ask because in a month, my PRO flickr account will expire because of "changes" in my AT&T Internet account..and I don't know if I want to pay the $24 to renew it.

BREVARD, N.C.-The Lenoir-Rhyne Bears (4-2, 3-1 SAC) opened the second half on an 11-2 on their way to a 78-65 victory over the Brevard College Tornados (1-5, 1-3 SAC) in South Atlantic Conference action in Boshamer Gymnasium on Wednesday night.
The run to open the second half broke a 36-36 tie at the break, and allowed Lenoir-Rhyne to maintain at least a six-point lead for the rest of the game.
L-R's Jarvis Perry and Matt Kunz led the way with 14 points apiece, while five different Bears finished in double figures. Perry notched a double-double, grabbing 10 rebounds and also dishing out a game-high seven assists.
Brevard started the game on a tear, jumping out to an 11-2 lead in the game's first four minutes. Miles Leathers and Darius Moose each had four points during the hot start, in addition to a three-pointer from Dominique Pickett.
The Bears answered with seven straight points to make it a two-point game, but the Torandos were able to hold the lead until a four-point play by Lawrence Miller gave L-R a 17-16 lead at the 10:37 mark.
Manzey Miller eventually put BC back in front 21-20 with a three-pointer with 9:07 remaining in the half, and the Tornados stayed ahead until Lenoir-Rhyne's Jarrick Brown tied the game at 36-36 with a tip-in just before halftime.
The Bears ended the first half on a 10-2 run to force the tie going into the half, and carried the momentum into the second half.
Moose dropped in a game-high 19 points while Pickett and Trevon Shaw finished with 17 and 13, respectively. Moose also distributed a team-high six assists.
The Tornados are on the road this weekend as they travel to nonconference Fayetteville State for a 4 p.m. tipoff from Felton J. Capel Arena on Saturday afternoon. The Broncos edged BC 69-67 in Boshamer Gymnasium last season.

Tom Petty show cut short due to overcrowding
Listen to Tom Petty on iHeartRadio
Tom Petty's still packing them in but it was a heartbreaker for fans on Saturday night when fire marshals decided to shut his gig down. "The Los Angeles Times" says authorities moved in to move out an over capacity crowd at the historic Fonda Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard.
Petty apparently informed the crowd a little after 10:30 pm that city officials told them about 100 people either had to move to the balcony or leave the concert because of overcrowding. When no one took the bait, Petty stepped to the microphone during an instrumental break and told his fans the show was over. Petty and his band, the Heartbreakers, then left the stage, triggering boos from the crowd.

RESULTS: Did You Vote This Year?
Coloradoans went to the polls on Tuesday, November 5 in the 2013 general election, making their voice heard on issues including whether counties should persue becoming the 51st state, fracking bans, marijuana taxes, a $1 billion tax increase for schools.
There wasn't as much noise around this election in Colorado, with no congressional, presidential or gubernatorial races. We asked in the KCOL Poll of the Week "Did You Vote This Year?"
The majority of our listeners did vote - with only 8% not voting since they only vote in congressional/presidential elections. Nobody responded "I Don't Vote."

Latent Variable Mixture Modeling
Girish Mallapragada
posted on Monday, February 13, 2006 - 8:45 pm
I am interested in comparing a 3 class SEM with a 4 class SEM.
However I noticed that the measurement model parameters vary across these two models unless I estimate them in a separate measurement model and hold them fixed across these two models.
Currently I am fixing the loadings and the residual variances of the items. Shoudl I also fix the variances of the exogenous factors to measurement model values?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, February 14, 2006 - 7:59 am
When you go from 3 to 4 classes, I think you would expect the parameters to change because some observations from the three classes are leaving those classes and moving to a fourth class. I would not fix any parameters.
Girish Mallapragada
posted on Tuesday, February 14, 2006 - 7:43 pm
Hi Linda,
I want the observations to be classified only based on the structural regression coefficients and not on the measurement model parameters.
If that is the case can I fix them?
posted on Wednesday, February 15, 2006 - 8:27 am
It sounds as if you hypothesize that your measurement parameters are invariant across classes. If so, these parameters can be held equal across classes, letting only the structural parameters differ across classes. However, even if you do this, your measurement parameters will have different estimates in the 3-class analysis and the 4-class analysis. To me, that is how it should be because you are applying different models. I may not understand the features of this particular application that would cause you to take that approach, but it sees strange to me to use estimates of measurement parameters from a 3-class analysis as fixed values for measurement parameters in a 4-class analysis - these fixed values may be far away from the best maximum-likelihood estimates that you would obtain if these parameters were freely estimated in the 4-class analysis.
Girish Mallapragada
posted on Wednesday, February 15, 2006 - 3:40 pm
Hi Linda,
Thanks for your comment. I want my classes to arise only due to the strutural regression coefficients.
I was trying to figure out a way to compare models on an even basis following suggestions by Anderson and Gerbing 1988's two step estimation of SEM models (measurement and structural parts to be estimated separately) and the Steenkamp and Baumgartner 1998 article on measurement invariance.
I really appreciate your comments.
Also, it would be very nice if Mplus allows more flexibility in constraining parameters to be positive only.
I need to constrain 10 parameters in my model to be positive in their estimates (based on hypotheses), the trick that you discussed in the message board sets the parameter at a certain value. It would be nice if instead of setting it at a value, one could just say that it is >= 0 .
posted on Thursday, February 16, 2006 - 6:19 am
Letting classes arise due to only structural regression coefficient differences will be accomplished when holding measurement parameters equal across classes. But, that may not be the best-fitting model - but you can check.
The upcoming version 4 of Mplus has the parameter constraint feature that you ask for.
Girish Mallapragada
posted on Wednesday, February 22, 2006 - 6:31 am
Thanks Dr. Muthen, that would be a welcome feature.

Dear Prof. Muthen
Is it possible to use BIC to compare two simple latent class models which are the same except for the configuration of the indicator variables.
For example, a latent class model that uses 3 categorical indicators and 1 continuous indicator to be compared with a model which for all sense and purposes is the same, except the continuous indicator has been been transformed into a categorical indicator (i.e indicating quartiles of the original measure)?
Many Thanks
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Friday, November 21, 2008 - 6:14 am
The BIC scale would not be the same in these two cases so BIC cannot be used to compare these models.
Alexandre Morin
posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 - 8:48 am
This question may potentially appears stupid. Sorry for that.
When we compare mixture models with a similar number of classes, those models can be compared with likelihood ratio tests (not applicable for the comparison of models with different number of classes).
In this case, are the observed loglikelihoods directly comparable or is it necessary to take into account the scaling factors (the default estimator for mixture models beeing MLR).
I'm asking since Mplus does not print any warnings on this subject (as it does for classical SEM and CFA models) estimated with MLR.
Also, I did play with some models and found out that MLR and ML estimates of mixture models usually converge on identical loglikelihoods (but different errors estimates, which is normal), but models comparisons do not converge on similar conclusions when scaling factors are taken into account.
In summary:
Do you recommend the use of the scaling factors in model comparions (MLR mixture estimation).
Thanks in advance.
Tihomir Asparouhov
posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 - 12:18 pm
I would always recommend using the scaling factor. The MLR estimator is a safeguard against heteroscedasticity, non-normality and complex sampling design effects. Using the MLR scaling factor will carry these safeguards even in the LRT testing. The LRT testing with the MLR estimator is described at
Alexandre Morin
posted on Wednesday, April 22, 2009 - 12:42 pm
As a follow up on my previous question,
In mixture models, it is possible to compare nested models, meaning models with the same variables and the same number of classes, with classical likelihood ratio tests (e.g. to compare a 3-class LCGA, with a 3-class variance-invariant GMM, and with a 3-class variance-varying GMM).
Will the same be possible if I wish to compare models (lets say GMM, all with the same variables and the same number of classes) in which:
(model 1) I predict class membership from X predictors;
(model 2) Model 1 + the predictors are also used to predict the intercept and slope factor;
(model 3) Model 1 + the predictors are also used to predict the intercept, slope and quadratic factor;
(model 4) Model 3 + the �i-s-q on predictors� regression vary across classes;
(model 5) Model 3 + the predictors also predict a distal outcome (which is already in models 1-4).
In other words, are these models nested ?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, April 22, 2009 - 6:03 pm
Yes on all.
Alexandre Morin
posted on Thursday, April 23, 2009 - 4:04 am
Thanks, I just wanted to make sure. It seemed logical but I never saw it used in conditional model comparisons (and never saw anyone take the scaling factor into account in any kind of Mixture models comparisons).

Miranda Kerr Out During Victoria's Secret Contract Rumors
Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom Spend Time With Flynn Amid Angel Rumors
Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom were out with their son, Flynn, today in LA. Flynn looked camera-ready while holding onto his mom's hand but played it shy when Orlando carried him out of a play center as Miranda followed behind her boys. Orlando was without Miranda last night, though, when he attended Coach's third annual Evening of Cocktails and Shopping solo.
Miranda's smiley family afternoon came on the heels of news that Miranda's $1 million Victoria's Secret contract may not be renewed. Despite various rumors behind the parting of ways between the Australian model and the lingerie giant, Victoria's Secret's chief marketing officer Ed Razek said the brand has no plans to stop working with Miranda permanently and that she has already agreed to walk in this year's fashion show. With or without her wings, Miranda has plenty to keep her busy, from her family and her KORA Organics line to her endorsement deals with both Qantas airlines and Audi, as well as a new fashion campaign with Mango.

Taylor Swift dresses up like Harry Styles for her new video
Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Taylor Swift may have insinuated during her biting Grammys performance Sunday that she is "neverever getting back together" with her ex, One Direction's Harry Styles. That doesn't mean she's forgotten him, however. Quite the contrary: She's even dressing like him now.
Swift chose an outfit for the filming of her newest video that mirrors her ex's fashion sense almost exactly. She nailed every detail of Style's signature casual look: baggy sweater, tight black jeans, ankle boots….and, of course, the knit beanie on top to cover those fabulous locks. Compare for yourselves!
Don't write Swift off as a crazy ex-girlfriend just yet, however. There does appear to be a method to this madness! The video, which was filmed in Malibu, California, is reportedly for Swift's song "22"--which contains the lyrics "It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters, and make fun of our exes." So, there you have it.
At any rate, Swift seemed to have a lot of fun while filming the clip. "Leaving LA now after the best day with my friends. Almost forgot it was a video shoot. Can't wait for you guys to see it.," shetweeted, after wrapping work for the day.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The Lindsey Wilson College
Theatre Program will give a new interpretation on a 600-year-old
play. The college's theater program will present Everyman
March 19-21 in V.P. Henry Auditorium, 210 Lindsey Wilson St.
Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. CT.
The play, whose origins are traced to late 15th-century England,
explores Christian salvation through allegorical characters.
"It's about salvation, it's about redemption, but it's about death
as well," said Lindsey Wilson Assistant Professor of Theatre Robert Brock.
The play is about the character Everyman, who has been summoned by
the character Death to make his reckoning before God.
"Everyman (the character) represents all human beings, and he is
called to a reckoning with death -- it's the process you hear about
death, and nobody wants to go alone and everyone wants to bribe
death to see if they can live a little longer," Brock said. "But
eventually you have to accept it and let go."
Although the Everyman has been around for six centuries,
its author is unknown.
"Historians think it might have come from a Dutch play that is
basically the same story, but before that they think it might have
come from a Buddhist tale," Brock said. "There were a lot of
Buddhist monks going around Europe in the Middle Ages, trading
stories. And there is a story the Buddha told about a man on his
way to death who met all these people and had to let go of
One of the play's premises is that a person's good and evil deeds
are tallied by God after death.
"The play is about Everyman discovering how he's squandered his
life, wasted time and didn't think about the things that were
important," Brock said. "The characters all represent something
more bigger than themselves. … It's a really interesting play that
I've wanted to do for a long time."
The Lindsey Wilson College Theatre Program will present

Since its founding in 1982, Adobe has grown into a global software company with more than 11,000 employees and a rich product portfolio for making, managing, monetizing, and measuring digital content. As we have evolved, so have the policy and regulatory issues — from accessibility and standards to security, education, and privacy — that impact us, our customers, and our communities. Adobe's Government Relations Team works directly with governments worldwide on these issues, offering timely information and providing expertise on the complex technical issues in the software industry today.
Some of the issues we care about
Adobe has a long-standing commitment to making its products and technologies accessible for all users and does not believe that technological progress and accessibility are a zero-sum game. We think governments should adopt globally accepted, technology-independent standards when developing rules for the accessibility of content on their websites. Learn more at the Adobe accessibility site and on the Adobe Accessibility blog.
The "cloud," meaning the shift to mobile devices and online services, is an important and growing form of computing. Entrepreneurs worldwide, some from countries that may have missed out on earlier waves of technology innovation (because of lax intellectual property laws, for example), have another opportunity to compete as a result of this shift. As Adobe's online services business grows, our ability to serve our customers is threatened by the adoption of trade policies that restrict cross-border data flows, set government standards for data storage or cybersecurity, or mandate that servers be located only in certain jurisdictions. Our customers want access to their data anywhere, from any device, and we continue to work to make this a reality in a global economy. Learn more about Adobe's cloud offerings: Adobe® Creative Cloud™ and Adobe Marketing Cloud.
Adobe has a long history of offering our products to students and teachers at a reduced price. Young people around the world need skills that will help them secure employment in the 21st century. Adobe believes there is no greater investment in our country than helping youth gain the skills they need to be competitive in the global marketplace, which is why we advocate for programs supporting the arts and technology in K–12 and postsecondary education. Visit the Adobe Education site for details.
Governments that adopt emerging technologies are better positioned to meet the needs of citizens. Adobe delivers solutions that help government agencies organize and evaluate the information and experiences needed to achieve their missions. Through content creation and management, secure business workflows, easy-to-develop forms, robust analytics, and intuitive collaborative eLearning, Adobe helps governments become more effective and efficient. Get the details about Adobe government solutions.
Adobe is recognized as one of the greenest companies in the world, in terms of our commitment to green power, water conservation, energy savings, and waste reduction — all of which go into the multiple U.S. Green Building Council LEED Platinum building certifications held by numerous Adobe facilities. In addition, Adobe works with governments and companies globally to automate business processes, eliminating paper when possible. Adobe Connect™ collaboration software also allows companies and individuals to meet virtually, saving transportation costs and reducing the environmental footprint. Learn more about Adobe and environmental sustainability.
Adobe's greatest asset is its 11,000 employees worldwide. Regardless of where our employees are based, Adobe is consistently ranked as one of the best places to work and has been included in FORTUNE magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For." By seeking to hire the very best and brightest, Adobe continues to be a dynamic place to work, and we encourage governments to adopt policies that support the needs of our employees worldwide. Learn more about Adobe's culture and core values. Type in some stuff!
Adobe values intellectual property rights, including rights dealing with copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. Strong intellectual property laws, vigorously enforced, are important not only for Adobe but for the global technology industry as well. As a software company, Adobe has a substantial problem with piracy, including Internet piracy. We aim to work with all parties toward balanced legislative and trade solutions that promote innovation, combat intellectual property theft, and allow the software industry to continue to provide good jobs and innovation that benefits economies worldwide. Learn more about Adobe and anti-piracy.
Much of the innovation in the 21st century is being driven by data. The analysis of data, in turn, drives customized content that benefits consumers and enables products to be delivered more efficiently. Adobe is a steward of customer data in both the Creative Cloud and Adobe Marketing Cloud businesses. We take these responsibilities seriously and are committed to designing our products and services with consumer notice and choice in mind. Read details about our privacy practices in the Adobe Privacy Center.
At Adobe, security is a key component of the software development process and one we take proactive measures to improve on. We believe that the market drives innovation, and as such, market-based solutions are the best tools to improve cybersecurity and data security. Learn more at the Adobe security site and on the Adobe Secure Software Engineering Team blog.
Adobe supports the adoption of a tax system that promotes investment, is fair and equitable when viewed globally, and gives government the income necessary to provide services critical to the functioning of our society.
Adobe belongs to or partners with a number of public policy assocations across the globe.

Sun Tea
> Unleashing an ancient remedy for the future of skin protection
Beyond cosmetic damages, such as wrinkles and age spots, exposure to the sun's ultraviolet light is the environmental culprit repeatedly blamed for the most common form of cancer—skin cancer, which the American Cancer Society estimates accounts for half of all cancers in the United States. Finding innovative techniques to guard skin against ultraviolet light damage is a focal point and driving motivation of physician-researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and University Hospitals Case Medical Center, who have zeroed in on what may seem to be an unexpected interest: the teakettle.
Legendary cure-all
Green tea has grabbed headlines for years for its antioxidant properties, which have been credited for its ability to lessen the risk of developing cancers of the breast, stomach, esophagus, prostate and pancreas. Green tea and its less-known cousin, white tea, have long been hailed by the Chinese for their medicinal benefits and more recently have been marketed as cures for everything from bad breath to arthritis.
Tea is abundant in unique catechin polyphenols, especially epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG—a chemical substance often cited as giving tea its healthy punch and the compound that makes it an attractive target for research.
"Tea's benefits have been known for many ages, but they've never been well studied in a controlled, randomized trial," says Elma Baron, MD, associate professor of dermatology at the School of Medicine and director of the Skin Study Center, a core facility of the NIH-funded Skin Disease Research Center and a joint center of the School of Medicine and University Hospitals Case Medical Center. "Ours is the first study to examine the role of white tea on sun protection."
Dr. Baron, the lead investigator of the study, explains that antioxidants play a major role in the prevention of damage caused by sunlight. Ultraviolet light emitted by the sun causes oxidative stress on the skin cells, which has been implicated as the cause of many diseases, including cancer. Antioxidants, which are plentiful in teas, citrus fruits and tomatoes, for instance, have the potential to counteract this process. Therefore, Dr. Baron theorizes, "If you look at botanical agents, like tea, that have the potential to counteract oxidative stress, you will find something that will be good for the skin."
Proven potency
The stage was set for a multi-faceted, multi-year collaboration between experts in the Department of Dermatology and the Estée Lauder Companies that examined two topical formulations—one with green tea and another with white—to determine if either could prevent the cellular damages caused by exposure to ultraviolet light.
"Tea in general has antioxidant properties, whether it's black, green or white," Dr. Baron says. "There have been studies that have demonstrated the benefits of drinking tea, and by doing so, you might derive benefits in other organ systems. For tea to make a difference in your skin's ability to withstand ultraviolet light damage, however, some studies have shown you would have to drink nearly eight glasses a day. That's why we're looking toward topical application instead of oral ingestion."
In the study, conducted from the Skin Disease Research Center and published in Experimental Dermatology, green and white tea lotions were applied to a group of healthy volunteers prior to, and immediately following, exposure to simulated radiation that mimicked a typical midsummer afternoon. Then, a biopsy was taken of all exposed areas.
"We found that the application of each green and white tea prevented the formation of 8-hydroxyguanine, a marker of oxidative damage to the DNA ," says Kevin D. Cooper, MD, professor of dermatology, chair of the Department of Dermatology and co-investigator of the study. "Both the green tea and the white tea were effective in reducing the evidence of sun damage to the skin."
The next generation
Dr. Cooper says this research revealed that tea extracts offer a deeper level of protection than simply shielding the skin from sunburn. "Sun protection factor—SPF—is a misnomer because it's really only a redness-protection factor," Dr. Cooper says. "We need to test for the bigger picture of damage to the skin."
Mary S. Matsui, PhD, is executive director of external research for the Estée Lauder Companies, which has partnered with the experts in skin biology and immunology at the School of Medicine since the mid-1990s. She says the organizations are collaborating on a three-year study to scrutinize the molecular changes that occur when skin sees the sunlight—going far beyond the visible redness.
"This way, we can better track the progress and the efficacy of products to counteract the negative effects of sunlight," she says. "It's a very big project and we're really digging deeper."
In the meantime, however, tea polyphenols are being considered among the compounds that can complement already well-known sun protection strategies, such as sunscreens.
"We did not test a final product that I can tell people, 'Go to your local drugstore and grab that one,'" Dr. Baron says, "but hopefully it will streamline our efforts and develop sun protection options that would truly be of help to consumers."

CBS News glossed over Bolton criticism
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
CBS News coverage of President Bush's March 7 announcement that he plans to nominate Undersecretary of State John R. Bolton as the United States ambassador to the United Nations did not include information about the strong criticism directed at Bolton's nomination. While NBC reported on Bolton's public disdain for the U.N., and ABC reported on bipartisan concern over Bolton's nomination and his past alienation of foreign leaders, CBS anchor Dan Rather noted only that Bolton "has often criticized the U.N. and its policies."
From the March 7 edition of the CBS Evening News:
RATHER: President Bush today nominated veteran diplomat John Bolton as the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Bolton, currently an undersecretary of state for arms control, has often criticized the U.N. and its policies. Today, however, Bolton said, and I quote, "Working closely with others is essential to ensure a safe world," unquote.
In contrast, on the March 7 edition of NBC's Nightly News, anchor Brian Williams noted that Bolton "has been a harsh critic of the United Nations" and "criticized the U.N. for not taking stronger stands against" Iran and North Korea; on March 8, NBC's Today highlighted criticism of Bolton by Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) and reported that "Bolton did once say if the U.N. building lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of a difference."
On the March 7 broadcast of ABC's World News Tonight, anchor Peter Jennings noted that Bolton has "long expressed public disdain for the U.N.," adding: "Some people at the U.N. today thought that President Bush was poking a stick in their eye." ABC's report also noted several of Bolton's past controversial comments and cited Democrats' -- and at least one Republican's -- concerns about his nomination:
JENNINGS: [Bolton] once said, "There is no such thing as the United Nations. There is an international community that occasionally can be led by the only real power left in the world, the United States."
JONATHAN KARL (ABC News senior foreign affairs correspondent): To say that John Bolton has been a critic of the United Nations is an understatement. In a speech he said the U.N. building "in New York has 38 stories. If it lost ten stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference."
KARL: For the past four years, he has staked out hard-line positions on Iran and North Korea, calling both countries evil and opposing direct talks with either of them. North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il refused to let his negotiators talk to Bolton, saying, "Such human scum and bloodsucker is not entitled to take part in the talks." Harry Reid [D-NV], the Senate's top Democrat, predicted a confirmation battle. And John Kerry asked, why would President Bush "choose someone who has expressed such disdain for working with our allies?" Republican senator Chuck Hagel [R-NE] sounded a cautious note.
HAGEL: The United Nations is critical to that. At the same time, it needs reform. It needs reform badly. And to just -- to go up there and kick the United Nations around doesn't get the job done.
KARL: At the U.N. today, several top diplomats said they are concerned about Bolton, but hope that his views will change once he gets to the United Nations.
Rather's report was the only mention of Bolton's nomination on either CBS' Evening News or The Early Show.

Zenato Amarone 2005
Other Red Blends from Veneto, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Amarone, the small jewel in our product line, is rightly considered the king of Verona's wines, produced from the best grapes of the Valpolicella Classic area, carefully selected and dried in trays until January. Showing deep ruby red, it releases intense aromas laden with rich spice and dried fruit; in the mouth it is a wine of superb richness and majestic flavors.
The perfect wine for all roasts and game,as well as for aged cheeses.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Wonderful aromas of black licorice and blueberry follow through to a full body, with juicy, round tannins. Luscious and decadent. Might be better on toast! A gorgeous wine, this is the real deal for Amarone. Why wait? But a little bottle age should really bring it together. Best after 2011."
Zenato Winery
Zenato is a company that possesses a strong link to the richness of its local history and culture, and continues to develop this connection today. The estate is based in a territory that surrounds Lake Garda, an area with an extraordinary microclimate that allows for an optimal growing season. The Zenato family is passionate in their dedication, vigorous research and innovation.
The company started with Sergio Zenato and his wife Carla as they began to produce quality wines from an indigenous varietal, Trebbiano di Lugana, and it has been passed down through the generations to their children. Currently, their daughter Nadia handles the marketing and promotional activity for the company, and their son Alberto oversees all aspects of production, from the growing of the vines to the time when the bottling process is complete.
Over time Zenato has explored another very important area of Italian wine production, Valpolicella, where they have dedicated endless efforts to the improvement and success of Amarone production, a wine of noble attributes and prestige. Zenato has entered into international markets and received the highest accolades from the wine industry's leading experts. Today, Zenato continues to look forward and make investments to develop projects based both in the area of Valpolicella and the area of Lugana. View all Zenato Wines
About VenetoView a map of Veneto wineries (vey-NEH-toe)
Notable FactsThe wine of Soave is most common white wine made here. Occasionally you can find an exceptional Soave, but for the most part the wine is easy-drinking and refreshingly pleasant. For the reds, the most popular are Amarone and Valpolicella – both made primarily from the good structured Corvina grape. While Amarone is always made in the recioto method (drying out the grapes to intensify the flavor), Valpolicella has a few different levels. Amarone is made from very ripe grapes, which are then dried and then pressed, producing an opulent, concentrated, full-bodied wine that has a distinctive and powerful taste that stays with you. Not for the lighter fare meal, this wine is almost port-like and delicious with cheese and/or dessert. Valpolicella can also be made in the recioto method, but it's more often found in a dry style – the wine goes up in rank, from Valpolicella to Valpolicella Classico to Valpolicella Classico Superiore. And finally, the bubbly of Veneto – Prosecco. Made from the same-named grape, Prosecco is less fizzy than Champagne and occasionally has a slight sweetness. It's absolutely delicious as a value aperitif.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

In large bowl, whip egg yolks and white on medium-high speed with electric mixer until very thick and pale, about 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, in small heavy saucepan, combine sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt; stir gently to combine. Cook over medium heat without stirring until candy thermometer registers 236°-240°F "soft ball" stage. Immediately remove pan from heat.
With mixer on medium speed, slowly add sugar syrup to the eggs down the side of the mixing bowl (Do not let the syrup fall directly into the egg whip). Continue whipping on high speed until mixing bowl has cooled enough to touch, about 5 seconds. Reduce mixer speed to medium-low; add butter, one chunk at a time, beating until butter is fully incorporated after each addition. Mixture will begin to look curdled, like it is separating, but will come back together as you keep beating in butter. Add vanilla and melted, cooled chocolate into the buttercream. Mix until incorporated, scraping down sides of the bowl. Continue whipping until desired consistency.
Use immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 1 month. Let buttercream come to room temperature and beat until smooth before using.
Makes about 6 cups icing

Lesbian and Gay Bands of America marched in Obama's Inaugural parade. Members were there from almost all of the bands that belong to the organization.
Great pics!!!
Lesbian and Gay Band Association marched in Obama's Inaugural Parade. Members were there from almost all the bands represented by the organization.
Great pics BTW!
I hope they will march in his next inaugural parade too! Thanks!
Yes, you are correct. Thanks for the clarification. I couldn't attend because of work. Chicago was well represented and I was very proud.
Love the Raging Grannies... lol
Me too. I tried to post pics for groups that were interesting or unusual in this context, such as the catholics and mormons. The raging grannie group was fun to watch.
Today is "Saturday in the Park" in my town of Vancouver WA. TSIP" is what passes for Pride here, and is usually a nice event. Vancouver is across the Columbia River from Portland - close enough for an easy bike ride. People regard the two as separate entitites. Vancouver culture regards Portland as urban, and somehow threatening, and not entirely white. That's even though many (most?) Vancouverites work in Portland. Portlanders regard Vancouver as Vanwhat?, semingly thinking it's somewhere remote, like Fairbanks Alaska, and consisting mainly of Medicare recipients who protest Obamacare while collecting their Social Security and picking up their subsidized diabetes pills. Certainly no one confuses it with the hip, gracious Vancouver B.C. Even so, it's pretty live and let live, slowly becoming more diverse, and reasonably LGBT friendly. Headed there now. We'll see if I can take pics.
A lovely setting for a great event. One day it will be common and welcome. 'Til then, enjoy!
Great to see all the strollers and kids.

After Georgia Kelley moved to Orange County from Connecticut, her husband, an airline pilot, arrived home one day in 1990 with a surprise – they now owned a restaurant in San Juan Capistrano.
The couple took over Mollies Famous Cafe, a breakfast, lunch and dinner place popular among locals. Her husband's interest soon faded, but hers didn't. Kelley continued on and now can be found there every day, whether in her tiny office or in the dining room or kitchen.
"We have one couple that come in three times a day," said Kelley, a Dana Point resident. "They'll get something different off the menu, but they're here every day. She told me basically that she doesn't have to cook, so why should she? We are happy to serve them three times a day!"
Kelley says she has a lot of phone numbers stored away so she can keep tabs on her customers' well-being. "If somebody doesn't come in, we call them and then we call their kids or we go over and check up on them," she said.
Recently a longtime customer died. Kelley recalled that he had been living on his boat in Dana Point Harbor when, at age 87, he became a little wobbly. His family placed him in a nursing home. "He didn't like the food," Kelley said. "We took him some meals a couple of times. … When he started coming in regularly again, we knew he had escaped to his boat. But then he'd be back to another home."
Finally, Kelley said, the family made an arrangement in which he would live on his boat with a caretaker. "He had the only boat in the harbor with a caretaker aboard and a wheelchair parked outside on the dock," Kelley said.
Kelley said she uses a computer to track what sells best at her cafe – what customers like the most. Changes don't necessarily come quickly, but recently her musings have brought waffles and fried chicken to the menu – on the same plate.
She also has a pork-chop sandwich with coleslaw and a marmalade-infused mayo spread.
Kelley says a technician set up three computers at Mollies for sending orders to the kitchen and tracking sales. "I had the bill to pay, but he told me don't bother," she said. "He'd take it out in meals!"
Q. What is the best thing about owning your business?
A. I meet great people every day and I get to make them happy. I really enjoy making Mollies a place for the community to come together. Also, we are a place that when someone loses a partner they can come in here and make new friends, and we get to be a part of that.
Q. What is the most challenging aspect?
A. Keeping it all together all the time – synchronizing and keeping it all rolling so we don't run out of food.
Q. What advice do you have for anyone opening a business?
A. You have to be prepared for anything. When I started with Mollies, it was a functioning business. I took some classes at Saddleback College geared toward business to get a better idea of what to expect. You really have to do whatever you can so you are prepared. If you are going to sell pencils, you have to know everything about pencils.

Infographics, such as the one opposite, are great visual tools for communicating large amounts of data. Breaking down large amounts of abstract data, they place the information in context and transform it into tangible and useful knowledge.
With a bit of personality and fun, an infographic can become a distinctive and charming way for the viewer to learn and access data. The most important aspect is the underlying message – the primary information that is being illustrated. All other elements should complement and reinforce the primary meaning to the viewer.
For this tutorial, we're going to be working with data I've compiled on images I found on Flickr.com. I chose skirt lengths and their wearers' locations as my topic and looked through 29 photos. Before I began sketching, I visualized how to best display the overall design and legends.
To contain my findings and various geographical locations, I opted for a clean chunk of land with a beach and underground train – a normal bar graph wouldn't have been visually dynamic enough to display such a range of information.

Hilda Alajajian presents "Finding Grant Opportunities: The Search Process"
Mid October represents a lot of things. The leaves are falling. Cooler weather is coming. It also marks the end of another great Funding to Publication series. Funding to Publication is a series of workshops that focus on different aspects of the research process such as tools for finding research, sources of funding, and publication strategies. This year 57 people attended one or more of the workshops, which represents an increase of 42% over last year's series. In fact, so many people signed up for two workshops (Advanced EndNote and Sources and Databases Beyond PubMed) that we had to add a third day to fit everyone in! Thank you to everyone who attended the workshops and for your help in making it such a great experience for everyone involved. If you missed any part of the series, take a look at its site, http://danaguides.uvm.edu/research2013, for class content and supplemental materials.
Although the Funding to Publication series is over, there are still lots of workshops being offered between now and December. For example, you can learn some new tricks on using images in PowerPoint in the "An Image is Worth a Thousand Words" workshop. Additional topics include EndNote, Google Scholar, The Cochrane Library, and a great session on creating posters. You can find a list of the workshops and when they'll be offered on the Schedule of Library Workshops page. How to Stay Up to Date: Alerts, Preparing Posters, and Introduction to Google Scholar are new selections alongside popular standards such as Advanced EndNote and Beyond PubMed.
Don't see what you're looking for? Please let us know. We're always looking for great ideas for future workshops.

According to botanists (those who study plants) a fruit is the part of the plant that develops from a flower. It's also the section of the plant that contains the seeds. The other parts of plants are considered vegetables. These include the stems, leaves and roots — and even the flower bud.
The following are technically fruits: avocado, beans, peapods, corn kernels, cucumbers, grains, nuts, olives peppers, pumpkin, squash, sunflower seeds and tomatoes. Vegetables include celery (stem), lettuce (leaves), cauliflower and broccoli (buds), and beets, carrots and potatoes (roots).
From a culinary standpoint, vegetables are less sweet — or more savory — and served as part of the main dish. Fruits are more sweet and tart and are most often served as a dessert or snack. Both fruits and vegetables can be made into juice for a refreshing beverage. Some fruits are "grains" or "nuts" or "seeds" — and are served accordingly.
Nutritionally speaking, fruits and vegetables are similar. Compared with animal products, they're generally lower in calories and fat, but higher in fiber. Fruits and vegetables also contain health-enhancing plant compounds such as antioxidants. And they're loaded with vitamins and minerals.
One serving (half a cup) of most fruits has a bit more calories than one serving of vegetables. Exceptions would be dense, starchy vegetables such as potatoes or beets.
One thing that is simple to understand about fruit and vegetables is that most people don't eat enough of them. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, you should aim for two or more cups of fruit a day, and two and one-half cups of vegetables. The usual adult eats one cup of fruit and about one and a half cups of vegetables a day.
In 2009 no state met the Healthy People 2010 targets for fruit or vegetable consumption. In fact, there's been a decline in consumption of fruit and vegetables. Between 1999 and 2008, the actual number of servings of fruit and vegetables declined by about 10 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
We also know that not eating enough fruits and vegetable plays a role in cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes.
Fruit or vegetable — the simple fact is we should eat more of them. However, doing that doesn't seem so simple. Something to chew on. What are your thoughts?

From Economy Professor a term coined by the Austrian economist and political theorist Friedrich Hayek (1899-1992):
1. A catallaxy is a market order without planned ends, characterized by the 'spontaneous order' which emerges when individuals pursue their own ends within a framework set by law and tradition.
2. Self-organizing system of voluntary exchange.
Etymology (from Man, Markets and Language): "Catallactics," Hayek says on the other hand, "was derived from the Greek verb katallatein (or katallasein) which meant, significantly, not only `to exchange' but also `to admit into the community' and `to change from enemy into friend'." Someone who studies the market process would be called a "catalactist" rather than an "economist."

Wandering Eyes
Should your boyfriend only eyes for you? Should he behave like a horse with blinders on? If you get upset when he looks at another woman, maybe it's your problem and not his. You should be confident that your man wants to be with you, that he wants to have sex with you, and that he's completely turned on by you. So what if he casts a glance at another woman? We are ALL visual creatures—both men and women. If we weren't there'd be no need for advertising which preys on our visual senses as do the products marketed by advertising (just look at how sexy the new white iPad is).
If you've watched even one episode of The Client List, a show targeted at the female audience, then you'll agree that women like to look at a sexy man as much as men like to look at a sexy woman. The entirely unrealistic character, Riley Parks, (played by Jennifer Love Hewitt) has a massage clientele comprised entirely of sexy 30 year-old men with abs of steel and chiseled jaws who look like they walked off the cover of Muscle and Fitness.

Whether fulfilled in the present or the future, karmic experiences have their roots in the five afflictions.
As long as the roots remain, karma is fulfilled in rebirth through class, span of life, and types of experiences.
Virtue brings pleasure; vice brings pain.
Man appears to be in the present, but that is only an appearance. Man lives in the past. Through the present he passes, but he remains rooted in the past. The present is not really a time for the ordinary consciousness. For the ordinary consciousness, the past is real time, the present just a passage from the past to the future, just a momentary passage. The past is real and the future also, but the present is unreal for the ordinary consciousness. Future is nothing but the past extended. Future is nothing but the past projected again and again.
The present seems to be non-existential. If you think of the present, you will not find it at all because the moment you find it, it has already passed. Just a moment before when you had not found it, it was in the future. For a Buddha-consciousness, for an awakened being, only the present is existential. For ordinary consciousness, unaware, sleepy like a somnambulist, the past and future are real, the present is unreal. Only when one awakes is the present real; the past and future both become unreal.
Why is this so? Why do you live in the past? - because mind is nothing but an accumulation of the past. Mind is memory: all that you have done, all that you have dreamed, all that you wanted to do and could not do, all that you have imagined in the past, is your mind. Mind is a dead entity. If you look through the mind, you will never find the present, because the present is life, and life can never be approached through a dead medium. Life can never be approached through dead vehicles. Life cannot be touched through death.
Mind is dead. Mind is just like dust gathering on a mirror. The more dust gathers, the less the mirror is mirror-like. And if the layer of dust is very thick, as it is on you, then the mirror does not reflect at all.
Everybody gathers dust. Not only do you gather, you cling to it, you think it is a treasure. The past is gone; why do you cling to it? You cannot do anything about it. You cannot go back, you cannot undo it. Why do you cling to it? It is not a treasure. And if you cling to the past and you think it is a treasure, of course your mind will want to live it again and again in the future. Your future cannot be anything but your modified past - a little refined, a little more decorated. But it is going to be the same because the mind cannot think of the unknown; the mind can only project the known, that which you know.

Hi all!
Trying to get BackTrack up and working on my Samsung X360.
If I start of by using:
airmon-ng start wlan0 6
it gives me "monitor mode enabled on mon0".
Now, if I just go straight on and try out aireplay-ng -9 mon0
it starts to inject properly and everything is fine.
Now, to the problem. I've searched and found information about that 4965 (As I belive is the one I use?) got problem with FakeAuth. Therefor I'm using wpa_supplicant, which works. But, after doing that and I try aireplay-ng -9 mon0 again it just won't inject properly.
Fresh install, havn't tocuhed the kernel nor drivers. I'm I missing something?

Need advice on Wireless upgrade of WiSM in redundant environment
We are planning software upgrade of WiSM in our WiFi environment. We have two 6500 series chassis loaded with 5 WiSMs' each. In that, 1 chassis is acting as primary and 1 chassis is acting as secondary. The WiSMs are fully loaded with access points. I need suggestion on whether to upgrade WiSMs' in redundant chassis first or the ones in primary chassis first.
- Lets consider, I finished upgrading WiSMs' in redundant chassis, when they are empty. Then When I upgrade Primary chassis WiSMs' and reload them, The APs will failover to redundant chassis's WiSMs. Then APs will try to upgrade them with new version. Meanwhile the Primary Chassi's WiSMs come up after booting with new image. AP fall back is enabled.
- Whether the AP will try to fallback to primary WiSM, when it is in downloading image stage in secondary chassis? or the AP will not fallback until completion of downloading and registration process in secondary controller?
Please suggest.
Madhan kumar G
From what version and to what version are you doing this?
I agree with Scott and George. This is also what I've been doing.
1. Upgrade the firmware and bootstrap of the secondary WiSM.
2. Move all the WAPs to the secondary. (Several ways of doing this. Primarily if you have WCS/NCS then this is the way to go. If you don't then either disable or BLOCK the allowed VLAN to your Management address from your primary WiSM chassis. This will forcefully send the WAPs to the secondary WiSM.)
3. Once you have confirmed that all the WAPs are fully accounted for, then upgrade the firmware and bootstrap of the primary WiSM.
4. IF you don't have WCS/NCS then enable the Management VLAN.
If you have "pre-download" option, then this will save you time.
Another thing is this: Newer IOS of the 7.0.X have the option to schedule the reboot of your WiSM. So maybe you can enable this option.
We had a case where a site didn't like it that we are going to bring the WAPs down due to firmware upgrades (because the network admin of that site would go "ape" about his precious laptops not joining) so what we did was enable EnergyWise and disabled PoE to the WAP ports. We upgraded the firmware and bootstrap and enabled the PoE ports 4 am in the morning. He didn't knew what "hit" him.
Here are a few things a learned.
1) Push the code to the controllers when there is less folks on the wireless. When the code unpacks on the WLC you will see some aps lose connection to the controllers. This is known (among people who pay close attention to their logs), but not widely if at all documented. The aps lose their capwap connection for a second or so. Its like a blip to the user
2) Do the predownload process hours before your actual cut over time. It can take a full wism 300 aps like and hour or more to predownload the new code.
3) Code Swap on the wlc and ap. Read my blog post carefuly.
If you dont have the software in the right position you could indeed cause the aps to download code again after your reboot.
So make sure you swap the ap code and the controller code correctly before reboot! Also if you predownload the code to the WLC and APs well in advance of the upgrade. Make sure you put the codes in the backup on the wlc and aps. If not, and a wlc accidentally reboots you will have a little problem on your hands.
4) Make sure you reboot all the WLCs at the same time. Use the config system reset at command in the cli or in the GUI. Make sure your wlcs all have the same time before doing this.
If you do all the above you will be out for only 3 minutes ..
Scott suggestion is one way of doing it. Thats how I use to do it actually.
But I use ap predownload. It saves a ton of time, since the WISM is limted to how many aps it can upgrade at a time. You can be sitting for a good bit waiting for aps to upgrade.
I have a large enviroment and i have 3000 aps down and up in 3 minutes with ap predownload.
If you push the code to the WLC you can then push the code to the APs. When you reboot the controller they will all come up with the new code. No need to wait for downloading. No need for templates.

St. Lucie's Familia continues to cruise
Prospect combines with Harvey to give Mets lethal 1-2 punch
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | April 23, 2011 8:24 PM ET
As in his previous three starts, Familia was every bit as good as the de facto ace of the rotation.
The 21-year-old right-hander scattered three hits while striking out eight over seven innings Saturday as the St. Lucie Mets kept rolling with a 7-0 blanking of the Jupiter Hammerheads.
While it was Familia's first win of the season, it lowered his ERA to 0.35. Through four Florida State League starts, he's allowed one earned run over 25 2/3 innings.
Twenty-four hours after watching Harvey improve to 4-0 and keep his ERA at 0.00, Familia was equally impressive. He worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning, set the Hammerheads down in order three times and retired 14 of the final 15 batters he faced.
"Familia is a young pitcher, but he is throwing the ball very well," St. Lucie pitching coach Phil Regan said. "He has very good poise on the mound, he has a good fastball and breaking ball and he commands all of his pitches well.
"I don't put ceilings on players, but he's improving with every start and he's making progress in everything he's doing."
While he waited four games to earn his first victory, the native of the Dominican Republic has pitched well in every appearance.
Familia, who pitched for the World Team at last year's Futures Game, yielded one hit over seven innings in his season debut against Palm Beach on April 8. Five nights later, he gave up one run on one hit and two walks in Fort Myers.
Facing the Miracle again on April 18, he allowed an unearned run on four hits over 5 2/3 innings.
Thanks to Familia and Harvey, the Mets boast a league-leading 2.22 ERA -- more than half a run better than the Daytona Cubs, who rank second. St. Lucie has surrendered only two homers over 154 innings.
"From top to bottom, this is one of the best pitching staffs I have worked with," said Regan, a 13-year Major League veteran. "We have good right-handed pitching, our starters have been doing very well and the bullpen has been great.
"One of the things that we really stressed in Spring Training was throwing strikes. We have put a big emphasis on that right now and it seems to be paying off."
Harvey has led the way, but Familia ranks second in the league in ERA, third in strikeouts and boasts the best opponents' batting average at .110.
Scott Moviel, Jeff Kaplan and Nicholas Carr provide depth, both in the rotation and the bullpen.
The 6-foot-11 Moviel, selected in the second round of the 2007 Draft, is 2-0 in three starts, while Kaplan is 6-for-6 in save opportunities with a 0.93 ERA in eight games.
"What can you say about Matt? He's pitched very well for us and his work habits are good," Regan said. "There are still some things he needs to continue to work on, but he will be really great.
"[Scott] has been improving and getting better every time he goes out there, too, but he is still learning to use all of his body to pitch. Kaplan has a good sinking fastball and a good slider and his makeup is very good."
Factor in Collin McHugh, a starter Regan described as "a strong pitcher and fast learner" and Carr -- who's 2-0 with three saves and a 1.04 ERA in six relief appearances -- and you can see why St. Lucie has raced to a 15-2 start.

After taking AP Physics in high school I thought that actually physics could be fun and maybe I should consider majoring in it. After taking University Physics, I found that I enjoyed learning about the way physics explains the world and knew I wanted to make it my major. The small class sizes, collaboration and dogs in the department has definitely enhanced my college experience. It has worked out nicely that my interest in mathematics could become a major as well since there is a lot of overlap between the two areas. For my senior year I look forward to developing an SYE that represents a culmination of my physics studies at SLU.
In addition to an enjoyment of numbers and physics, I have always enjoyed learning about new cultures. This semester, spring of my junior year, I am studying abroad in hopes of becoming acquainted with Spanish culture and becoming fluent in the language. It has been a great opportunity to add a new dimension to my college education. I have learned a lot, from how to use the metro to art history while looking at the actual painting in a museum.
During the summer of 2011, I participated in the Liquid Crystal Materials Research REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) at the University of Colorado. I spent the time characterizing liquid crystals produced by the Chemistry Department at CU by looking at thin films of the material under a reflective microscope. It was a great opportunity to learn about laboratory work and enjoy the beautiful Rocky Mountains. After graduation I hope to pursue graduate studies in Applied Physics or a related field of Engineering.

Lenovo's education research initiative aims to discover how schools can harness the power of technology
What is the best way to harness the power of educational technology in the classroom? Lenovo, in partnership with Intel and Microsoft, intends to answer that question through our global Education Research Initiative. ERI's mission is to gain a complete view of technology's impact on the learning environment. Its goals are to:
- Measure the effect of technology on educational experiences from first grade through college, using proprietary metrics designed for Lenovo by the RAND Corp.
- Produce research-based prescriptions for improvement.
- Provide outreach and educational programs at ERI's core sites.
- Improve learning outcomes.
- Increase operational efficiency.
Areas of Research
ERI's quantitative and qualitative research will help show what works and, equally important, what doesn't work in technology-assisted education. Critical research areas include:
- 1:1 Computing
- Professional Development
- Leadership Development
- Vocational Education
- Authentic and Academically Rigorous eLearning
- Multilingual Collaboration
- After-School Programs
Participating Institutions
ERI has core research programs at four global educational institutions:
- The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill's Center for Faculty Excellence in Chapel Hill, N.C., aims to provide holistic support to educators across the entire spectrum of professional development: instruction, research and leadership skills. Its resources are focused on professional development principles such as collaboration, mentoring and assessment.
- The Student Global Leadership Institute at the Punahou School in Honolulu aspires to develop a community of international youth leaders to promote understanding and action related to global challenges. The institute launched in summer 2010 with 30 students — half from U.S. schools, half from Chinese schools — who met at Punahou for two weeks of intensive study. Students will track their progress through an online community. Punahou plans to add students from Japan, Costa Rica and Africa to the program.
- The Bastow Institute of Educational Leadership in North Melbourne in the Australian state of Victoria was founded to help fulfill the government's commitment to developing educators' leadership capabilities. The institute is intended to respond to workforce capacity demands by fostering innovation, leading-edge skills and educational strategies that enable the advancement of children of all ages.
- The Tiger Woods Learning Center in Anaheim, Calif., aims to improve the quality of education and the quality of life for young people in underserved communities, readying them for a globally competitive workforce. TWLC invests in research-based assessments of innovative learning methodologies and programs for students in grades five through 12. It also provides professional development for the educators who teach these students.
Ultimately, ERI will connect hundreds of thousands of students, teachers and researchers from schools around the world to evaluate and quantify the use of technology to improve education.
