Administrative Rules of the Unified Court System & Uniform Rules of the Trial Courts
Rules of the Chief Judge
|PART 44. Court Appointed Special Advocates Programs
|Downloaded from Mckinney's New York Rules of Court
|Updated February 17, 2009
44.0 General
Recognizing the vital role that a Court Appointed Special Advocates program ("CASA program") can perform in aiding Family Court efforts to further the health, safety and well-being of children, and the need to insure that each such program has adequate resources, this rule is promulgated to standardize use of CASA programs in the courts of this State and to establish a program of State assistance under the direction of the Chief Administrator of the Courts. For purposes of this rule, a CASA program shall mean a not-for-profit corporation affiliated with, and in compliance with, the standards set forth by the National and New York State Court Appointed Special Advocates Associations.
A CASA program may be appointed by Family Court in its discretion to provide assistance to the Court in cases regarding children in or at risk of out-of-home placement. The CASA program is not a party to the proceeding. To be eligible for such appointment, a program must meet regulations promulgated by the Chief Administrator of the Courts. Such regulations shall insure that each CASA program is capable of regularly providing thorough information about the health, safety, well-being and permanency plans of children and their families to the Court, the parties and law guardian; monitoring Family Court orders; meeting with children in the presence of, or with the consent of, their law guardians or as directed by the Family Court; working with legal and service providers assigned to their cases to facilitate collaborative solutions; and helping to promptly secure safe, stable homes and nurturing families for children so that they may thrive.
The Chief Administrator of the Courts may by rule establish a program for the provision of grants of State assistance to individual CASA programs within appropriations annually made available to the Judiciary.

Rich Marshall, Career Advisor – Thoughts on Inclusive Excellence
Inclusive excellence is a term that has received a lot of recent visibility around the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh campus. The Department of Student Affairs, in addition to a number of other departments on campus, established committees to focus on implementing inclusive excellence programs within their divisions. Through my role in Career Services, I have served on the Student Affairs' Inclusive Excellence Committee for the past several years. Despite the increasing visibility of the inclusive excellence term, it appears that uncertainty exists as to the definition and ways to incorporate inclusive excellence into our personal and professional development.
Inclusive excellence stems from a more familiar term, diversity. The reality is that we all come from unique backgrounds and cultural perspectives. From the definition offered by the UW System, diversity is a term that reflects the ability to include individual differences (i.e. personality, learning styles and life experiences) and group/social differences (i.e. race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, country of origin, ability and political, religious, cultural and other affiliations) in the process of learning. Inclusion is the active, intentional and ongoing engagement with diversity in ways to increase one's awareness, knowledge and compassion for those with different perspectives and cultural backgrounds.
In simpler terms, diversity acknowledges and embraces the fact that differences exist in our personal and cultural backgrounds, values and perspectives. Inclusive excellence begins with the belief that these differences bring value to the greater community (educational, social and professional). It solidifies itself with a personal plan to increase one's awareness and understanding of the cultural experiences and perspectives of others. These personal plans require stepping outside of one's own reality and comfort zones.
I grew up in a rather non-diverse environment that embraced a very white and middle class perspective. I did not discover the existence of different cultures and perspectives until I entered college. I did not truly start to embrace and appreciate the differences in others until I started to step outside of my reality and comfort zone. College provided an excellent avenue to increase my experience and awareness. I attended speakers, events and student organizational meetings to interact with people from different backgrounds.
The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh offers an avenue to put inclusive excellence into action. Many student organizations and campus departments host multi-cultural events and speakers. OrgSync and university announcements are great ways to stay connected to the plethora of opportunities that exist right here within our university community. In fact, the InterTribal Student Organization is hosting Ariel Luckey, a nationally-known speaker who merges storytelling, spoken word poetry, dance and hip hop music into narratives of personal and political transformation, next Friday, November 18, at 6 P.M. More information will come out via university announcements next week.
I encourage each of you to look within yourselves, embrace diversity and put inclusive excellence into action.

Growing success: Multicultural engineering program director named the best
LaVerne Bitsie-Baldwin proves good things come in twos and that collaboration can bring multiple benefits.
Bitsie-Baldwin, director of Kansas State University's Multicultural Engineering Program, has received the 2010 Outstanding Director Award from the National Association of Multicultural Engineering Program Advocates Inc. The award recognizes her efforts to increase the K-State program's enrollment 160 percent from 2008 to 2010.
In addition, Bitsie-Baldwin is chair of the association's Region D, which received the 2010 Outstanding Region Award. The region includes engineering schools in Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, South Dakota and Texas.
Both honors were presented at the association's national conference Feb. 23-25 in San Antonio. The association is a national network of educators and representatives from industry, government and nonprofit organizations who share a common commitment to improve the recruitment and retention of African-Americans, Hispanics and American Indians seeking degrees in engineering.
K-State's Multicultural Engineering Program has grown from 150 students in fall 2008 to 390 students in fall 2010. This growth includes a 146 percent increase in freshmen who identified themselves as black, Hispanic or Native American. Freshmen in the program represented 14 percent of all engineering students in fall 2010, compared to just 5 percent in fall 2008.
"I've received a lot of support from the College of Engineering, particularly from the dean, John English. It's allowed me to take on more challenges and seek more opportunities for the Multicultural Engineering Program to grow," Bitsie-Baldwin said.
"The accomplishments of our multicultural efforts in the college have been absolutely outstanding under the leadership of LaVerne Bitsie-Baldwin," English said. "She couldn't be more deserving of this award and recognition.
"And of course, this growth in enrollment and retention has certainly benefited as well from the collaborative efforts of Associate Provost Myra Gordon and the tremendous financial support of industry partners Dow, Cargill and ConocoPhillips."
A key factor in the program's success has been collaboration, Bitsie-Baldwin said.
"Our enrollment increase really has been because of a collaboration spearheaded by Dr. Gordon, associate provost for diversity and dual career development," Bitsie-Baldwin said. "She helped build a collaboration with the colleges of Engineering, Agriculture and Business Administration that focuses on multicultural student recruitment and retention."
The collaboration includes using the diversity and recruitment programs already in place at K-State and leveraging resources to create additional ways to recruit and retain multicultural students. "We've been able to triple our reach through these collaborations," Bitsie-Baldwin said.
For the Multicultural Engineering Program this included using retention programs like Scholars Assisting Scholars and Connect; a block grant from the National Association of Multicultural Engineering Program Advocates for scholarships; and $200,000 from the College of Engineering for multicultural engineering student scholars to serve as mentors to incoming multicultural engineering students.
"Support from these three sources over a five-year period has had an impact," Bitsie-Baldwin said.
The collaboration also led to the expansion of MAPS, which stands for Multicultural Academic Program Success. The summer bridge program is for incoming multicultural freshmen in the three colleges. MAPS students can earn five to six credit hours by taking key courses in the six-week program; they get to connect to peers, mentors, faculty, staff and administrators; and they receive personal and professional development opportunities. MAPS was made possible through grants from Dow Chemical, Cargill and ConocoPhillips. Since it was launched in 2007, 86 percent of its engineering student participants have been retained.
"Our next goal is to increase our freshmen retention rates, which have averaged between 80 to 85 percent," Bitsie-Baldwin said. "With our increasing enrollment the challenge has been how to serve more students with the same services. We've had terrific support from our faculty and our student mentors in this regard. We're also always seeking donors to support our retention programming."
Collaboration also played a role in Bitsie-Baldwin helping Region D earn the best region award. The award is presented to the region that has been exemplary in its support of the association's goal of enhancing the recruitment, admission, retention and graduation of traditionally underrepresented minority engineering students. Region D was cited for the increased enrollment in K-State's Multicultural Engineering Program; networking activities to get more corporate members; connecting with the National Center for Women and Information Technology to increase the number of women multicultural faculty members at the region's engineering schools; and promoting research opportunities for undergraduates.
Bitsie-Baldwin joined K-State in August 2004 as interim director of the Multicultural Engineering Program, becoming director in 2005. She has a bachelor's in mathematics from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colo., and a master's in mathematics from K-State. She has been active in the National Association of Multicultural Engineering Program Advocates since 2004, holding a variety of offices.

PCMan has added a new branch named lxpanel-xkb in the LXDE Repository.
svn co https://lxde.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lxde/branches/lxpanel-xkb
It's a new applet for lxpanel which will be a keyboard layout switcher. The original one in lxpanel is broken, and will be removed. The new one will be based on libxlavier, a good library handling xkb. However, we're from Taiwan, and we don't know how keyboard layouts work. So help is needed. If you're a developer living in Europe or some other places requiring switching between different keyboard layouts, please help. (PCMan)

Bartley Barnacle by King Unicorn
No sudden movements.
There's a fairly frightening creature near my desk.
His golden Dagon adornments confirm my suspicion he's connected to Innsmouth and make me ill at ease, as do his claws and teeth.
And that stare.
He got here by way of Georgia. I don't know yet what he wants. Or if I can use his arrival to my advantage.
For now, we both wait. And watch.
This is a beautiful piece, gorgeously detailed and painted. Double wow!
I felt compelled to bookmark King Unicorn's web site after seeing this. I think Chthulhu made me do it:)

Bread Machine" came into our lives, in 1986, from Japan. Yes, the self-proclaimed "Gadget Queen" (that would be 'moi') bought one of the first ones (and it was expensive, as I recall). I marveled that I could simply dump flour, yeast, powdered milk and water, press a button and walk away. A short time later, I'd have this funny looking square loaf of bread. I felt like I had conquered my fear of bread baking. Then, the machine died. I bought another one, which lasted just over a year. Then, it died. I decided it was time to quit buying bread machines.
That's when it dawned on me, that I had a perfectly good Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer! I quickly fell in-love with being able to let that machine mix my dough-- and then, I began to enjoy the feeling of working with bread dough... by that, I began to love the feel of bread dough, and shaping the dough into bread rolls, or loaves of bread. I got better at it, and more confident. Who needs a bread machine?
The internet is loaded with plenty of information on how to work with yeast. One of my favorite resources is King Arthur Flour. My pantry is full of their products, because they work. Their recipes work, too and love their clear step-by-step recipes with plenty of photos. Plus, they have a toll-free Baker's Hot Line, that I have used plenty of times.
sour dough starter. I was scared that I'd kill my starter-- and I really didn't understand what to actually do with it. At first, my sour dough starter was kept in a glass mason jar, loosely covered with plastic wrap and a rubber band. Eventually, I bought this special crock pot-- and I will say that I love it. I can easily spot "the beast" in the back of my fridge.
Classic Baguettes, that turned out really well. I can say that I've conquered another fear. I can assure you, that my sour dough starter has been sadly neglected for weeks, and still, I managed to revive it and keep it going. (You can learn all about Sourdough starters by clicking here and here.)
The Classic Baguettes that I made were so good (as my family will attest to). Still, I love a sour dough bread that has a bit more tang to them. I used King Arthur Flour's recipe for Extra-Tangy Sourdough bread, which requires one cup of "fed" starter...
Sour Salt/Citric Acid". I added 1/2 teaspoon (you can't go hog wild with this, or it can cause deterioration of the crust). I have no idea exactly what that means...but I decided not to go there.
One Hour Dinner Roll recipe, you need to allow anywhere from 2-5 hours for the dough to rise. I decided to shape these into sandwich rolls, to make a Slow Roasted Beef sandwich. Once again, it takes anywhere from 2-5 hours for them to proof, before baking. (My total time was 2 hours each time).
If you still can't view the recipe card, all of my recipes are stored on Key Ingredient, by clicking here.
If you still can't figure out how to view the printable recipe card, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I am happy to help.

My little monster Kate has suggested that she may need Growth Hormones to catch up. She turned 4 years old last Saturday (12/13) and she's a tad on the small side.
The doctor said that she was small for her gestational age (36 weeks, 17 inches long). She's been growing, despite the steroids (inhibit growth) she took most of her first two and a half years, just very slowly. She needs to catch up.
Kris was told by the doctor that this could cost anywhere from 15 to 20K per year. Naturally insurance doesn't cover it. But we will appeal.
Seriously, Kate's not getting college money or wedding money from me.
Being salaried, I can't earn any more money at work. So I'm asking all 12 of my usual readers if they have any work or know of anyone looking for a fairly rounded Oracle type like me. Strong developer skills, juniorish DBA skills, strong (if rusty) ApEx skills. I'll even throw a little Java in there (keyword, little).
Twenty to thirty hours a month if possible.
Any leads you could throw me would be great too. I'm actually very delightful in person. Especially if I can tell the tales of woe in regards to Kate (don't think I won't pull out the sympathy card). ;)

CX-3000 Transmitter From Sensorex Monitors Parameters Over Extended Range
MUMBAI, January 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Transmitter Displays and Controls Conductivity, Resistivity or Salinity for Process Monitoring
Sensorex's CX-3000 Transmitter monitors changes in process fluids, displaying conductivity, resistivity or salinity, along with temperature, for process control in water, chemical, electronics, food production, environmental and waste-water applications.
Photo: http://halmapr.com/sensorex/CX3000.jpg
The CX-3000 measures one of three critical process parameters: conductivity, resistivity or salinity. A simple push button interface enables user-programming on-site for desired monitoring, with a password protection option for added security. The CX-3000's dual output design, with a dedicated (0)4 - 20mA output for temperature measurement, eliminates the need for a separate temperature transmitter. Its large backlit LCD screen displays selected parameter and temperature simultaneously.
Conductivity is measured over an extended range of 0.000uS/cm - 200mS/cm for extreme applications. The resistivity measurement range extends from 0.00 - 20.00 M-Ohm/cm; salinity measurements cover from 0.0 - 70.0ppt.
With a NEMA 4x, IP65 enclosure, the CX-3000 can be wall, panel, or pipe-mounted for easy integration in most installations. The line powered unit meets 100-240 VAC power requirements for use internationally. Two adjustable Hi/Lo relay contacts deliver results to automated process control systems.

When Aly Spaltro began writing music, she was literally the girl next door. After recording 12 solo songs with her 8-track, she left a stack of free CDs on the counter of the local record store next to the DVD rental shop where she worked in Brunswick, Maine. Nervous about the public's reaction to her music, she chose to remain anonymous and only put her email address on the label.
"These songs were written when I was 18, 19," Spaltro tells NPR's Audie Cornish. "But they really are from a place of being young and heartbroken, or in love or nostalgic for an unrequited love. And so, in that, they're very pulpy. They're very much about being young and being full of feelings and just very emotional."
Five years later, at 23, Spaltro has grown into an artist known for her powerful live performances. She's taken on a band moniker, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, and recorded a full-length studio debut titled Ripely Pine. Recorded in a professional studio, the album features full-band arrangements of some of her solo work.
"[The song 'Aubergine' is] a little over the top, which is actually why this particular arrangement is a little poppier and maybe more accessible than the song is on my own," Spaltro says. "I really wanted to take some of the whining out of what I did with the song solo, and open it up to be maybe a little danceable, even. I wanted to make something that people could really enjoy listening to and not feel like it was too brooding or too depressing."
Spaltro continues to experiment with the juxtaposition between lyrical content and musical accompaniment as she embarks on a tour in support of Ripely Pine.
Lots of singers air their dirty laundry in song. Aly Spaltro may be the only singer who has recorded songs while actually doing her laundry.
ALY SPALTRO: So it's about 2:00 in the morning, and I'm sitting in the corner of my very dark and very freezing basement, in my coat and scarf, might I add, waiting for my clothes to dry.
CORNISH: As a teenager, Spaltro gained a following in Portland, Maine, with her simply sung tunes. That those songs were home recordings only added to their charm.
CORNISH: As the washer-dryer whirls in the background, Spaltro pulls out her banjo and starts to sing.
CORNISH: From the laundry room to the recording studio, Aly Spaltro is now out with her debut album. She records under the name Lady Lamb the Beekeeper. It's a name that came to her in a dream at a time when she would wake up in the middle of the night to write down her dreams.
SPALTRO: And that was written in my notebook when I woke up one day and saw it all scribbled in my cursive in a big lump. It was exactly at the time that I wanted a moniker for the 12 songs that I had recorded so that I can share them at the local record store without giving away who I was. And that's why I put that on the album, and it just stuck, and it's been a good five and a half years now.
CORNISH: So these home recordings you actually kind of packaged them yourself and kind of brought them to the record store from the trunk of your car?
SPALTRO: Yes. Because I worked right next door to the record store. I worked for four years at an independent DVD rental store. And my town was small enough that everyone knew me by name, and I was so nervous about this new endeavor of making music. I wasn't sure how it would be received at all. So I wanted a way to share it while remaining mysterious. So I put 12 copies at the counter for free at the record store.
CORNISH: When Aly Spaltro joined me in the studio, we talked about one song off of her album, one that shows off the big sound she's achieved away from the washer-dryer. It's called "Aubergine."
CORNISH: Is the song about someone in particular?
SPALTRO: It is, yeah.
CORNISH: How much can I get out of you?
SPALTRO: Probably not too much.
CORNISH: It does feel a little bit like a breakup song.
SPALTRO: Yeah.
CORNISH: And I don't know if you could talk a little bit just maybe about that part of your life when you were writing it.
SPALTRO: Oh, sure. I mean, these songs were - I'm 23 now. These songs were written when I was 18, 19, most of them. But they really are from a place of being young and heartbroken or in love or nostalgic for an unrequited love. And so in that, they're very pulpy. You know, they're very much about being young and being full of feelings and just very emotional.
CORNISH: This line in particular.
SPALTRO: So young and dramatic.
CORNISH: That's true at 18 or 19 to talk about being unborn.
SPALTRO: Yeah. Very - a little over the top, which is actually why this particular arrangement is a little poppier and maybe more accessible than the song is on my own. I really wanted to take some of the whining out of what I did with the song solo and open it up to be maybe a little danceable, even. You know, a little...
CORNISH: Did you say whining?
SPALTRO: A little whining, yeah.
SPALTRO: You know, I wanted to sort of weaken the whininess a little bit that comes out in the solo performance and make it more - just make it more fun, really.
CORNISH: Do you feel like you're getting that rap a little as you're starting off in your career?
SPALTRO: I - honestly, I didn't feel like I was getting the rap. I think that was just sort of a pressure I put on myself sort of like, oh, you know, I'm so brooding all the time.
CORNISH: Like I'm a woman with the guitar in a coffee shop and...
SPALTRO: Yeah, yeah. And, you know, I enjoy music that I can dance to that might have maybe introspective or dramatic lyrics but don't take it too far that you're just depressed about it, you know?
CORNISH: It's the most joyful song about heartbreak that I've heard in a while.
SPALTRO: Right. Yeah. And, yeah, it reminds me a little of this - of Cher, "Believe," you know?
(Singing) Do you believe in life after love?
That song is so, so sad. But the beat, you know, it makes it sound so happy. And I actually covered that song and slowed it down. I kind of made it as sad as the lyrics are, and that made me really realize that I can do something like this to "Aubergine" where I could take something that was sad and make it a bit happier musically.
CORNISH: Well, Aly Spaltro, it was a really fun song, and thank you for walking through it with us, getting us kind of the story behind it.
SPALTRO: My pleasure. Thank you so much.
CORNISH: The song is called "Aubergine." It's from Aly Spaltro's debut album, "Ripely Pine." She records under the name Lady Lamb the Beekeeper.
CORNISH: You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Ronnie at the office often brings in a variety of TV dinners for lunch. He doesn't seem to have any preference for any type of TV dinner whether it be a Healthy Choice TV Dinner, Lean Cuisine TV Dinner or the classic Swanson's Hungry Man TV Dinner.
When it comes to TV Dinners though, Hungry Man is really the quintessential TV dinner. I mean what comes to mind when you purchase and consume a TV Dinner anyhow?
- Apple cobbler desserts?
- Convenience (i.e. laziness to cook)
- Fried, Greasy pieces of meat (mystery or other varieties)
- Being an absolute bum on the couch watching late night TV
- 5 mins in the microwave for soggy food vs 45 mins in the oven for crispier chicken?
Hungry Man TV Dinners are all about large portions of food without any notions of being healthy. After all do 'hungry men' actually care about calories, carbs or fat intake?
Hungry Man TV Dinners – What about the taste?
Well unless you have a craving for stale airline food or like to eat meat with shards of ice crystals, you really can't expect an ultra gourmet meal out of a Hungry Man TV Dinner. It's just a quick fix to get you food while you veg in front of the TV.
This Hungry Man TV Dinner had 2 white meat chicken steaks with mashed potatoes, a side of corn and a chocolate brownie.
Except check out this brownie on this Hungry Man TV Dinner:
It's got chunks of corn inside the brownie!!! What a sick joke by the people of Swansons.
Haha!!!! I Love it!!!

European Commission - Press release
Digital Agenda: Commission consults on massive expansion of LED lighting in Europe
Brussels, 15 December 2011 – The European Commission today adopted a Green Paper and launched a public consultation on the future of LED-based lighting. LED lighting is one of the most energy-efficient and versatile forms of lighting - saving up to 70% energy and money compared to other lighting technologies. Faster LED deployment will ensure the success of Europe's lighting industry and help reduce energy use from lighting by 20% by 2020. But Europe also faces a number of challenges and more input is needed from citizens and businesses to refine the policy. To this end a consultation will run until 29 February 2012 to collect feedback on the Commission's ideas.
European Commission Vice President Neelie Kroes said: "Expanding LED lighting is a 'no-brainer'. It means more money in your pocket, and a healthier planet. Please give us your ideas on how to speed up its deployment and maximise the number of jobs and savings Europe can gain from expanding the use of LED lighting."
LED lighting faces a number of challenges in the market: high purchase prices because it is a more sophisticated technology compared to the alternatives, lack of familiarity among potential users and a lack of common standards.
Key questions for the public consultation include:
Boosting energy saving LED-based lighting is a key objective of the Digital Agenda for Europe (see IP/10/581, MEMO/10/199 and MEMO/10/200).
With the phasing out of the sale of traditional light bulbs in the EU by September 2012, in the next few years about 8 billion incandescent lamps in European homes, offices and streets will need to be replaced by more energy efficient lighting solutions. These include LED and organic LED (or OLED) lighting technologies also known as Solid State Lighting (SSL).
SSL offers both high quality light and visual performance and increasingly good design options.
SSL can drive innovation in the lighting and construction sectors and offers tremendous opportunities for our businesses – many of them SMEs – leading to jobs and growth in Europe.

I own a floral shop in Green Bay, WI and need to extend a huge thank you to Nathan for assisting myself and my customer on a very important order. He made a recommendation for a more appropriate gift for the occasion than what my customer was initially requesting, even though this alternative would definitely mean more work and less profit on his end. I was so impressed with the extra time and care he took to make sure that my customer was happy! Thank you!

Nathan was a fantastic florist for our wedding. Honestly, going into process of planning our wedding, flowers were not very high on our list of priorities. But after meeting with Nathan, and talking with him one-on-one, he got us very excited. And, boy, did he deliver!!! More on that in a second. But as far as our shopping-around-process was concerned, we found Nathan's prices very competitive. It was fun going down to his shop. He has such a sweet mother working with him at the office, and an awesome bird. We also liked Nathan's demeanor. Talking with him one-on-one, we could really appreciate his passion. Apart from a few things that we knew we wanted (I knew I wanted lilies for my bouquet), we went in not having any real vision for our flowers. He really helped us go through the options and pick out a wonderful set of arrangements. Indeed, the flowers for our wedding day (as well as the rehearsal dinner the night before) were fantastic. He got us these cool little blue orchids that were really nice. The roses for our mothers were very sweet. And the bouquet – my goodness!!! Word's cannot describe how beautiful they were. All in all, we were really happy working with Nathan, and couldn't have found a better vendor. Highly recommend!!!

facing the challenge
It is time to shift our vision of what constitutes cities of the future. Nowadays, cities should focus on integrating resilience into urban planning and development. This can be done via new and smarter technologies. Resilience refers to the adaptability of cities to survive and thrive regardless of shocks and stresses they may face, creating safer, and more sustainable and more resilient cities.
Cities are economic, political, and administrative hubs. They bring together millions of people, businesses, ideas, and foster innovation. Over 50% of the world's population currently lives in cities, and this urbanisation will only intensify in the coming decades. It is expected that by 2050, around two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities, and cities will become ever larger. Increased urbanisation may bring opportunities, but it also brings risks.
Cities will face greater challenges in the upcoming decades due to population growth, climate change, and resource scarcity. They must be able to effectively respond to these challenges, while simultaneously ensuring the well-being of their citizens, economic growth, and sustainability. To be able to meet the challenges of the future, cities have begun focusing on 'smart strategies', merging urban infrastructure and digital technology. These 'smart cities' rely on the Internet of Things and data analytics to develop solutions to urban problems, increase the efficiency of infrastructure and services, and improve citizens' quality of life. For instance, sensors can be deployed throughout cities, collecting a variety of data, such as air pollution levels or water levels. Cloud computing allows large quantities of data to be stored, which can then be analysed with data analytics. Consequently, apps can be used to transmit this information to the general public, also allowing feedback. The collected data and feedback should be taken into account for future policies and urban designs that improve the quality of life of citizens. While the development of smart cities is a step in the right direction, it is necessary to go further than that, and to embrace resilience.
From Smart to Resilient: Harnessing Smart Strategies for Resilient Cities
Resilience is defined by the United Nations (UN) as "the ability to resist, absorb and accommodate to the effects of a hazard, in a timely and efficient manner". Thus, resilient cities are those in which their citizens, businesses, and infrastructures have the capacity to withstand, adapt, and recover in a timely manner from any kind of hazards they face, either planned or unplanned. Resilience strategies do not focus on individual and isolated risks, but rather adopt a comprehensive approach that focuses on all types of risks, from chronic stresses such as unemployment and endemic violence, to acute shocks such as natural disasters and terrorist attacks. They focus on anticipating risks and developing pragmatic and localised solutions that can best manage these risks. In this manner, cities can continue effectively performing their functions in both normal and difficult times. The key aspect to the development of resilience cities is the need to involve local society. Citizens should be included not only in decision-making processes, but their quality of life should be at the centre of all strategies developed.
Hayley Kiyoko's ambitious debut is at its best when it's barbed and confrontational, but the former Disney star is still trying to hone her budding pop star identity.
There's a lot riding on this. Hayley Kiyoko, the 26-year-old former Disney star, is one of pop's few openly gay female artists, whose fans have taken to calling her "lesbian Jesus." It's tongue in cheek, but speaks to the hunger for representation among marginalized fandoms—the hoards who flocked to Kiyoko's early music videos, which offered rare representations of relationships and flirtations between women. Kiyoko now has to balance their interests against her own budding pop star identity, plus the demands of the mainstream that she (and label Empire/Atlantic) evidently want her to break into: Expectations seems like a particularly loaded title.
For her part, Kiyoko seems ambitious. The album comes with a kind of conceptual architecture: opening with the "Expectations (Overture)," and containing a pair of two-part song suites, plus an interlude called "xx." The sound of the sea and distant birds sometimes color the edges of the songs, giving a rough sense of a contained world, but not much more than that. It doesn't seem like a leap of faith to guess that the elegant storytelling of Melodrama was an inspiration here, though Expectations doesn't really use its structure for neat narrative or stylistic tricks in the way that Lorde did.
For one thing, it lacks that kind of songwriting consistency. The obsessive "Wanna Be Missed" has the breathy luster of a forgotten cut off the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack, although Kiyoko's ecstatic crescendo lands with a thud on the blankly intoned line, "I've never felt nothing like that," as if waking up from dental anesthesia. "Let It Be," the song that closes the album, and puts a lid on the tempestuous relationship that courses throughout, is as stompy of feet and jingly of bell as the Lumineers. "Palm Dreams," a cheap postcard to Los Angeles life, sounds oddly dated and features a refrain ("Party with us") that sounds swept from Justin Timberlake 's cutting-room floor. It's the only song here featuring anything close to a blue-chip songwriter, in " Boom Clap " co-writer Fredrik Berger, which may indict the resources and priority levels afforded to this album.
Those are the most disparate parts of a truly enjoyable if rarely remarkable record, one that lacks the budget of high-end pop but aspires to its trappings. Kiyoko isn't yet a particularly distinctive vocalist, but "confrontational" is a mode that really suits her. Single "Curious" has a similarly choreographed shuffle in its chorus to Dua Lipa 's "New Rules," and contains a few pin-sharp barbs worthy of Lorde: "Did you take him to the pier in Santa Monica?" Kiyoko taunts at a girl who's dropped her for a dude. "Forget to bring your jacket/Wrap up in him 'cause you wanted to?" Plus it has a perfectly turned kiss-off: "I'm just curious," she sings, with icy mocking: "Is it serious?" (That and a textbook pop pause pre-chorus: one of those brilliant, tiny spaces that feels like taking a breath before a giant leap.)

COLUMBIA – In one week, everything changed for South Carolina's football team.
In a dominant, 52-7 blowout at Arkansas, the Gamecocks put together their best game of the season. Then they got help from everyone else in the SEC.
Florida lost to LSU. Georgia lost to Missouri. Missouri lost starting quarterback James Franklin for at least a couple weeks, including Oct. 26 when it hosts USC. Clearly, South Carolina was the big winner over the weekend.
It's amazing how quickly things change in college football. Last week was about Jadeveon Clowney and controversy. Now, the questions change. No longer is USC's star defensive being asked about his commitment to the team. No, the inquiry on everybody's mind is if, on one perfect Saturday, the Gamecocks became favorites to win the SEC East.
Join South Carolina beat writer Ryan Wood for a live chat at 3:30 p.m. Monday to discuss the Gamecocks current position in the SEC East race, as well as any other aspect of USC football. Get your questions answered. Make your voice heard. Log on this afternoon and participate.

text: In this speech, Dr. King addresses the Civil Rights Movement and the use of nonviolent demonstration tactics. He distinguishes between civil disobedience, which involves breaking laws that one does not agree with, and nonviolent demonstration, which involves using one's right to protest. He states that nonviolent protest is inherently American, citing examples from the Civil War, the Suffragettes, and the American Jewish Committee's own lobbying from the early 20th Century.

Originally published September 18, 2009
In anticipation of the final ratification of 802.11n on September 11th, VeriWave last month released the latest version of its wireless testing solution, WaveAgent 2.0.

Industry Insiders: Sanjit Biswas, Meraki CEOby Jeff Goldman
Originally published June 23, 2009
Sanjit Biswas is the CEO and co-founder of Meraki, the California-based Wi-Fi networking startup which has experienced explosive growth since its founding in 2006. Our mission is to bring down the cost of access, to change the economics of access, and to bring access to people who haven't had it before," Biswas said at the timeand while the company itself has grown enormously, those basic principles remain.
We spoke with Biswas earlier this month, not long after his company announced its expansion into the enterprise market. What follows are highlights from that conversation.
On ease of use:
We try to keep the customer experience really simpleand I think were going to see more of that, where things like automatic RF planning, continuous system optimization, these sort of features, become more important as the complexity of these systems grows. It needs to be managed, because you have only a finite number of IT professionals heading this stuff up the really smart systems that are out there will end up having really simple interfaces, just so people can set it up and not worry about it.

Peter Curnow-Ford may never be a household name in the wireless industry, but its guys like Curnow-Fordbackroom boys, movers and shakerswho help push the industry forward.
A player in the IT-telecoms space for over 30 years, on both sides of the Atlantic, but mainly in the UK, Curnow-Ford has worked for big guns, such as Nortel Networks, Fujitsu, and Logica (consulting). He launched and ran his own enterprise messaging business. For five years, he worked with 3G-focused dot-coms in the U.S.

And he is a non-executive director at SafetyPay, a U.S.-based company developing solutions that will let mobile workers and merchants accept and securely authenticate credit/debit card payments anywhere.
We talked to Curnow-Ford recently about the companies hes working with, the role WiMAX will play in an evolving wireless world and the very different approach to municipal and publicly-funded wireless in the UK.

Industry Insiders: Bob O'Hara
by Lisa Phifer, July 14, 2008
When 802.11 pioneer Bob O'Hara retired from Cisco this February [2008], he planned to kick back and enjoy some well-deserved time off. After 16 years in the WLAN industry, O'Hara looked forward to surfing the Web from the comfort of his couch and dabbling in charitable activities. But a phone call from a former Airespace colleague changed that. Last month [June 2008], Bob O'Hara joined the Advisory Board at start-up Aerohive Networks, where he hopes to continue making history.
O'Hara literally helped to write the original 802.11 standard back in the 90's. He co-founded Airespace in 2001 to create the industry's top-selling WLAN controller product line. In 2005, Airespace was acquired by Cisco for $450 million, widely seen as a move that re-wrote the entire enterprise WLAN landscape.

Industry Insiders: Ron Sege
by Naomi Graychase
Ron Sege, Tropos Networks CEO, is optimistic. Not just because Boston College, where two of his children are enrolled, is having a miraculous football season; and not just because, when we spoke in late October, the Red Sox were well on their way to winning their second World Series in 90 years. Ron Sege is optimistic because outdoor Wi-Fi is doing welland his company is leading the way. With more than 500 deployments in the U.S. alone, and bragging rights for both durability (Troposs solution famously survived Hurricane Katrina) and performance (Novarums on-the-ground testing ranks Tropos at the top of the pack), his optimism is well-placed.
Sege (pronounced, Seggy), whose companydespite his Boston sports fan leaningsis based in Sunnyvale, California, is one of a handful of industry leaders with a uniquely valuable vantage point on the wireless market. On October 25th[2007], we spoke about where the industry has been, where it is, and where its going.

Industry Insiders: Ruckus Wireless CEO, Selina Lo
by Gerry Blackwell
Meet Selina Lo, Wi-Fi billionaire.
Okay, we dont actually know where Lo ranks on the list of the worlds richest people, but her bio at the Ruckus Wireless WebsiteLo is the companys president and CEOsays she sold the first entrepreneurial venture she was involved in, Alteon WebSystems, for $7.8 billion, to Nortel.
Now Lo is at the helm of a Wi-Fi company with an impressive, if short, history, and by all indications a very bright future. Founded in June 2004 by Bill Kish, its CTO, and Victor Shtrom, Ruckus is backed, to the tune of $40 million, by heavyweight investors, such as Sequoia Capital and Motorola Ventures. Its here for the duration.
The company sells its Smart Wi-Fi products around the worldover a million units to date. They feature a high-gain directional antenna system that uses patented software-based beamforming (BeamFlex) and quality of service (QoS) technologies to extend range. Ruckus claims it can deliver two to three times the coverage of competing products at very low cost.
Lo, a marketing visionary, is also known as a straight shooter who doesnt duck controversy. Thats the way she comes across on the phone: smart, articulate, opinionated. Our conversation ranged from the economy to Wi-Fis role in an increasingly crowded wireless landscape to the future of that much maligned phenomenon: muni-Wi-Fi.
