Today I'm excited to share with you one of my favorite Back to School Tips, How to create a homework station!

DIY Homework Station and Back to School Tips:
Let me first say that me and organized don't usually belong in the same sentence, but for 3 school years now this system has totally worked for me, so that's gotta say something.
I have 3 kids, one that is off to college and twin middle schoolers. Over the years we've evolved how we handle homework in our house. We have discovered that what works best for us is to have everyone working at the kitchen table together. Then mom and dad are close by if they need help and there are less distractions. (this post contains affiliate links)
This however created a problem in the kitchen. It seemed I always had pens, pencils and paper all over the table even after they were done. A couple of years ago, I got the idea to create a Homework Station on my kitchen table. Everything they need to be contained in one place and it's easily moved out of the way when needed.
This year to help with the back to school organization, Martha Stewart Home Office, with Avery sent me a box of supplies! I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them as soon as I got them. Pretty up that homework station!
How to Create a Homework Station:
Items Needed:
ONE: Magazine File
The first thing I did was add a file box to the station this year. I used a Magazine file and my VERY FAVORITE product the chalkboard labels to create a "Things for Mom to sign" box on the table.
You see we frequently lose important papers like field trip permission slips, school directories etc. This way all those items get put in the file, one folder of things to sign and one folder of things I've already signed. I also plan on putting some of our math help sheets in there too so they are close at hand.
TWO: Miscellaneous Items
- Pencils in Mason Jar
- Sticky Notes
- Paper Clips
- Mason Jar with Pens
- Scissors
- Erasers
- Post It Flags
- Ruler
The rest of the station has a variety of items, including pencils, pens, highlighters, erasers, and sticky notes. Also in the pile are the Color Coding tabs which are perfect to use to mark places in books, textbooks and binders.
The last addition I made to the kitchen for this school year was this Removable Dry Erase Weekly Planner. We have a stainless steel fridge so we've never been able to stick anything to it (magnets don't work). This planner has a removable adhesive that's safe for the fridge.
It went right on the fridge. We start it over each week and that way everyone in the family knows whats going on. As you can see they all like to add to it. It also helps me to know what time I need to have dinner ready each night (in case we're running out the door to go to an activity).
So here's the good news for you!! I've got a $50 Staples Gift card for one of you! Good for the Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery line!!
To enter (do one or both of the following):
1-Leave a comment on this post, tell me your favorite back to school organization tip
2- Pin an image from this post and let me know you did it by leaving a comment.
Giveaway goes until midnight eastern time August 24th. Full giveaway guidelines here.

Katy Perry suffered technical difficulties while performing at the NRJ Awards in France this weekend (14-15Dec13).
The pop superstar took to the stage to perform her hit single Roar, but had to stop midway through the set because she was out of sync with the audio and background screens.
Running onto the stage to alert Perry to the issue, the host asked her to "restart" because they "had a little problem", and added, "I'm really sorry to stop all your energy."
Despite the mishap, Perry had reason to celebrate at the prizegiving - she was a double winner at the ceremony, which was held at the Cannes Festival Palace in the south of France, as she scooped the International Female Artist of the Year title and landed International Song of the Year for Roar.

Greater Palm Springs Pride Announces 2011 Pride Honorees
Jean Harris, Gilbert Baker, John Palatinus,
Geoff Kors and James Williamson,
Dana Adkins and George Zander to be honored
Greater Palm Springs Pride will bestow its annual Pride Honors on the creator of the rainbow flag, a midcentury photographer, community activists and volunteers. The prestigious Pride Honors Awards are presented annually to individuals in order to honor the work they have put into furthering the causes of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals and their allies. The awards will be presented at a ceremony on November 4, at the Hyatt Regency Suites in Palm Springs.
Lifetime Achievement Awards will be presented to equal rights activist Jean Harris, John Palatinus, a Palm Springs octogenarian and midcentury beefcake photographer, and Gilbert Baker, the creator of the rainbow flag. Geoff Kors and James Williamson will be recognized as 2011 Spirit of Stonewall Special Guests for their activism, volunteerism and community service on behalf of the LGBT community; and proud advocates for LGBT causes George Zander and Dana Adkins will be recognized with the Spirit of Stonewall Community Service Award.
The Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to recognize an individual whose lifetime body of work has left a lasting major imprint on the LGBT community. 2011 recipients are Jean Harris (1944-2011), Gilbert Baker and John Palatinus.
Jean Harris was a political tour de force known for her spirited use of colorful language and down-to-earth style. She was a well-known aide in the San Francisco City Hall offices of former Supervisor Harry Britt, former Mayor Frank Jordan and former Director of Public Health Dr. Sandra Hernandez.
A community organizer she helped form the Lesbian Agenda for Action, the very first Lesbian Political Action Committee in the country and she lead San Francisco's first domestic partner's campaign in 1989 and organized the LGBT community to defeat a statewide discrimination measure (No on 13). She was the first executive director of "Basic Rights Oregon" and served as the executive director of The California Alliance for Pride and Equality (CAPE), which was to become the present-day Equality California (EQCA).
Jean was a respected field organizer and local, state and national campaign organizer. For over forty years Jean served the Democratic Party in leadership roles on numerous committees as well as serving as Chair of the California Democratic Party Lesbian/Gay Caucus.
Jean was 66 years old and died at home in Palm Springs, California. She is survived by her partner, Denise Penn.
Gilbert Baker is an artist and civil rights activist who in 1978, designed the Rainbow Flag, perhaps the most common symbol of LGBT Pride and most visible symbols of the LGBT movement.
Baker served in the U.S. Army from 1970 to 1972 stationed in San Francisco at the beginning of the gay rights movement. After his honorable discharge from the military, he taught himself to sew. He used his skill to create banners for gay-rights and anti-war protest marches. It was during this time that he met and became friends with Harvey Milk.
In 1994 Baker moved to New York City and continued his creative work and activism. That year he created the world's largest flag (at the time) in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots that took place in 1969.
In 2003, to commemorate the Rainbow Flag's 25th anniversary, Baker created a Rainbow Flag that stretched from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean in Key West. After the commemoration, he sent sections of this flag to more than 100 cities around the world.
John Palatinus is a revolutionary artist who was persecuted for his art in a time noted for its repression of gay men and women. As one of the first beefcake photographers of the 1950s, he pioneered a new genre of male art – known as physique photography.
In 1954, he began photographing young bodybuilders, using light and shadow to highlight the topography of the male physique – often using posing straps to carefully conceal genitalia. What John and his contemporaries considered art was viewed as profanity by conservative, pre-Stonewall authorities. As a result, US postal authorities and NYC Police raided Palatinus' studio, confiscating all of his photographs, negatives, cameras and equipment. John was tried and convicted. At 82, John now lives in Palm Springs, and may be one of the last living photographers from the 1950s golden era of physique photography. By today's standards his arrest is ridiculous. He has lived to experience the revival of his works. Some of his original work has emerged from the underground, resulting in shows in Paris, Berlin, San Francisco, New York and Key West.
Recognized as the 2011 Spirit of Stonewall Special Guest for their activism, volunteerism and community service, Geoff Kors and James Williamson are Palm Springs residents who have a long and distinguished record of service to the LGBT community. Geoff served as executive director of Equality California for nine years from 2002 until 2011, building the largest and most successful statewide LGBT rights organization in the nation. Under Geoff's leadership, EQCA passed more than seventy pieces of LGBT rights legislation, many of which he conceived and helped draft, and then developed and implemented the strategy to ensure they were enacted and signed into law. As a result, LGBT Californians today have the most comprehensive civil rights protections in the nation.
Kors served as a partner in an LGBT civil rights law firm and as director of the ACLU of Illinois Gay and Lesbian Rights and AIDS and Civil Liberties projects. He has served on many boards including the executive board of the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club where he originated the idea for, and helped orchestrate passage of, San Francisco's landmark Equal Benefits Ordinance. James has been extremely active in the LGBT community, volunteering for numerous organizations including the Shanti Project, where he served as an emotional support volunteer to people with end state HIV/AIDS, and as a member of the LGBT advisory committee to the San Francisco Human Rights Commission. In 2002, James joined the board of directors of the Asian Pacific Islander Wellness Center, where he served on both the executive committee and as the organization's treasurer. After two terms of service on the API Wellness board, James joined the board of the Horizons LGBT Community Foundation where he served as the organizations board co-chair. In 2009, James joined the board of directors for the San Francisco LGBT Community Center where he serves as co-chair. James' service to the community includes serving as treasurer for a number of candidates for public office, volunteering on numerous campaigns and supporting candidates and organizations who believe in full equality and justice.The Spirit of Stonewall Community Service Award recognizes an individual, couple or organization within the LGBT community that has made a noticeable and positive impact on the community. The 2011 recipients are Dana Adkins and George Zander.Dana Adkins is a multi-talented performer who has been singing, dancing, acting and hosting shows internationally for over twenty years and is one of the Coachella Valley's most recognizable, tireless and generous contributors to the local charitable benefits circuit, donating her time and talents to an impressive array of fundraising endeavors including AIDS-related causes, animal rights activism and women's issues.
Dana Adkins is perhaps most recognized as the host and producer of the Palm Springs entertainment magazine television show The Yellow Brick Road, Dana has been generous providing her talent for many charities including: AIDS Assistance Program, Desert AIDS Project, Save-A-Pet, Palm Springs Animal Shelter, Alzheimer's Organizations, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and San Francisco AIDS Emergency Fund.
She now lives in the Palm Springs area and continues to share her love of the performing arts as a permanent fixture on the local cabaret scene.
George Zander, sits on the Palm Springs Police Department's LGBT Outreach Committee and serves on staff at Equality California as the Field Manager for Palm Springs. He has been actively involved in the Democratic Party for many years. After moving to the desert in 1997 he helped found the Desert Stonewall Democratic Club in 1999 and became its chair in 2004.
Like many other political junkies, his community activism started in his school days. He was involved in the student body government council in high school and in student politics in college. After graduation, he joined the Peace Corps and worked in Micronesia for five years where his community organizing skills were toned.
George has worked on many campaigns that range from save an inner city wilderness area from being turned into a golf course to serving as the organizer of one of the few campaigns in the nation to defeat Anita Bryant's campaign against the LGBT community's anti-discrimination laws already on the books. George was also involved in the Dorian Group, a very early LGBT political organization, and he ran the coordinated campaign for Clinton-Gore in Seattle.
The Greater Palm Springs Pride organization (pspride.org) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community enhancement organization founded to promote the public education and public awareness of individual rights and civil liberties of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and to promote the history, diversity and future prosperity of the Greater Palm Springs LGBT community.
For 25 years, Palm Springs Pride has been a tireless advocate for equality and diversity. This year's Pride celebration theme is: "Justice Today. Equality Forever!" For information about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities visit the web site at: PSPride.org.
The 2011 Palm Springs Pride Celebration is November 1 – 6.

Ever since I hurt my ankle last year (see Torn Ligaments and Motherhood for more on that), I have been amending my shoe collection. Before the foot injury, I could basically wear whatever shoe I wanted. Things have changed! I now have two things that are of utmost importance: comfort and support. I need to be able to wear the shoe without my foot getting tired and sore. It has been more than a year, but a bad shoe day can still leave me limping the next day.

In December the Hartford Selectboard and town manager were considering a 10 % reduction in funding for the town's three incorporated libraries. As this would have a substantial and harmful impact on town-wide library service, we asked your support in voicing your concern to the Hartford Town Manager and Selectboard. Budget hearings coincided with our annual appeal. Responses have been significant and equally important. The benefits of being an incorporated library in an engaged community are clearly multi-fold. Ultimately the town manager recommended full funding of the library requests in the final proposed budget, which the Selectboard then accepted. On town meeting day that budget was approved. We are grateful for that decision and for the articulate and passionate support voiced by you. Our background page can be read here. for a fuller understanding of the Hartford libraries' history, organization, differences and services. Stop in often and enjoy the many resources you have helped to preserve and extend.

There are many different facets of successful logo design. Many people assume that it only has to look a certain way and that's it. There's a focus on going for whatever is "cool" and leaving it at that. You can see this in effect with a lot of band logos out there, especially the immensely illegible logos of death metal groups and the like. In fact, if you want an example of exactly how not to approach designing a logo, that particular source is one of the strongest.
Far above "looking cool," a strong logo design should be legible even in thumbnail form. It has to be identifiable immediately while also remaining unique. The best logos are often fairly simple in their appearance, allowing people's eyes to recognize their shape in an instant. This is the very essence of the saying "simple but effective."
Despite this, the process of actually designing a logo is anything but simple. There are a lot of delicate checks and balances that have to be put into place. There are several different bullet points a good logo must hit. Not only does it have to be immediately recognizable, it also has to work in many different sizes and in several colors, and it also has to match the tone of the product its tied to. For example, you wouldn't want the logo to a store like Toys R Us to be full of hard edges and angles, nor would you want a store like Hot Topic to have a logo offset by a rainbow and fluffy lettering. If the style of a logo can also lend itself to translation and work in different languages, it also doesn't hurt. There's so much that goes into all of this, and the end result still has to remain elegant and easy to identify.
It's truly staggering to think of the brilliance that it takes to create an identifiable logo that can connect with people immediately. The sad thing is that few will ever even consider all of the hard work that goes into achieving that. You shouldn't let that deter you however. In fact, that might even be what you strive for. If your logo does what it needs to do, it will be immediately effective and resonate with people despite them even realizing why. It may not often be appreciated, but there are many facets to successful logo design, and you'll be left with a logo that will truly stand for something when they're all in place.

Back in April, Nokia showed off the Nokia Portable Wireless Speaker, an affordable accessory that comes in this year's Lumia colors, white, yellow, orange and green. It's shipping now, so I grabbed one from the Microsoft Store. And if you travel with your Lumia and want something to pump up the volume, this is a neat little option.
To be clear, this year's rendition of the Nokia Portable Wireless Speaker is the MD-12. I've owned a variety of Nokia-branded speakers over the years, and have always been impressed by how the company—or rather its hardware partners—have been able to squeeze such amazing sound quality into ever-smaller packages.
I can't honestly claim the sound quality has gotten better as the devices have gotten smaller. Instead, it's fairer to say that the sound quality hasn't suffered that much but that portability has gone up dramatically. The MD-12 is so small and light that I'll throw it in my bag and use it in hotel rooms on my trips going forward.
Here's what you need to know about the Nokia Portable Wireless Speaker MD-12.
It's small. Roughly the size of a hockey puck, but far cuter, the MD-12 measures 38 mm high and has a diameter of 84 mm. It can fit right in your hand, though you'll want to put it on a surface, as explained below.
It's light. The MD-12 weighs 180g. By comparison, a Lumia Icon weighs 167g and a Lumia 1520 comes in at 206g.
It has great battery life. I haven't been able to verify this yet—though I am testing it now—but Nokia claims that the MD-12 can last up to 15 hours on a charge.
It's colorful. You can get the MD-12 in white, yellow, orange or green. I grabbed green to match the green cover I just bought for my Lumia 635.
It charges with USB. To charge the MD-12, just plug the bundled USB-based charging cable (which is quite short) into a PC or, using a charger adapter that is not included, to a wall socket. You can use the device while it's charging, of course, and this all works with the same USB-based cable and charger your smart phone already uses.
It sounds great. I've been using the MD-12 with both music (Xbox Music and Nokia MixRadio) and spoken voice recordings (Audible audiobooks and podcasts), and have been surprised by how good it sounds. Part of the reason is that its unique design utilizes the surface on which the speaker sits to produce bass and low frequency sounds. It sounds best on a table or counter top, I've found. (As opposed to couch.)
There are no volume controls. Unlike with previous Nokia portable speakers, there are no volume controls on the speaker itself, so all volume adjustment comes via your smart phone's speaker controls.
It's NFC compatible. Like previous Nokia portable speakers, the MD-12 is NFC compatible, which dramatically simplifies the pairing process with your phone. Assuming you're using an NFC-compatible Lumia or other device, that is, and of course I am. The NFC pairing point is, oddly, on the side of the device and not on the top as you might expect.
You can connect with Bluetooth or via an audio cable. You connect your phone to the MD-12 via Bluetooth (optionally with NFC, which simplifies things, or just normally via Bluetooth) or via a standard 3.5 mm audio connector (headphone-style, which is not included).
It has a microphone and can be used as a speakerphone. This feature is neat: There is a microphone in the top of the MD-12 that lets you use the speaker like a speakerphone. I've only tested this with Windows Phone 8.1 on the Lumia 1520, but Nokia says it works OK with iPhone and Android too. As long as the MD-12 is connected to your phone, it will be used as the speaker and mic during calls, and if you're playing music when a call starts, the music will fade out and then fade back in when the call is over. Yes, it sounds like speaker phone on the other end.
It has one button. On the front, you will see a single round button, which is described as a multi-function button. (This is found on previous Nokia portable speakers too.) You use this to turn the speaker on and off with a(n overly) long press, and can use it to pair the device via Bluetooth or end a phone call in speaker phone mode.
It has pretty lights. A power light comes on when the device is powered up. It's green when the MD-12 is fully charged and orange while charging. A blue light also appears indicating Bluetooth connectivity.
It has a grippy bottom. You can't stick it up on a wall, but the bottom is nice and grippy for a no-slip experience.
It can be managed with the Nokia Device Hub settings app. When you connect to the MD-12 via NFC/Bluetooth, you will see an Action Center notification related to Device Hub. From this settings app, you can manage the MD-12, check the battery and see the compatible apps on your phone and in the store. You can even pin the MD-12 Device Hub page to the Start screen and monitor battery life at a glance.
The Nokia Portable Wireless Speaker MD-12 is available now for $49.99 in the Microsoft Store. I wouldn't use this as a primary speaker at home per se, but it would be great for a college dorm room, in a bathroom (for you shower crooners) and, as noted, on the road. Which is where I'll be using it.

History of Hair With Heart
In 2007, after their daughter Charlotte was diagnosed with alopecia areata, Matthew and Rebecca Adamson established the Princess Charlotte Alopecia Foundation to raise awareness of the condition and funds to supply quality, human hair wigs to people with Alopecia.
In 2013, the foundation became part of the Variety family, becoming the Princess Charlotte Alopecia Program. Building on the amazing work of Matthew, Rebecca and their volunteers, it has continued to grow – granting wigs to children with Alopecia and accepting hair donations to make into wigs for those whose hair loss is due to a medical condition.

But he got better and his mommy and daddy came for a visit...and to see the new puppies. We got to babysit while they went and ran errands and went out to eat a bit.We got to see how fast Ryder could scoot across the floor....he has developed quite a bit more since I watched him at Camp Pawpaw...amazing.
And who would think of a 6 month old reading a paper...it is unbelievable what kids learn in daycare now.
He had developed into a child with hands that grab everything, the ability to crawl, even slow, across the floor to discover the other side...and on the peak of learning to walk...soon he will be running across the floor..with his parents and us quickly following...he will train us to respond to his many new discoveries.
"What...my folks..oh they let me do this all the time"...comes from just a look...
We enjoyed the time we got to spend with Ryder..he is a true enjoyment to have around..he entertains us and we try and entertain him.
We have a large assortment of toys, books and movies to keep him from boredom. He loves lights and sound..anything with both is amazing to him. And even with a week of illness and earaches he took the time to come visit us and fill our hearts with joy.
So Mr-Rolls-Alot has developed into a crawler and soon will be Mr Walks-Wherever...soon he will be leading us into a new world of discoveries...a world seen through the eyes of small child with a smile that is bigger than the mountains.
We were glad to see him and have his parents come see the puppies...we enjoyed the time we spent with him. We hope his woes leave him soon and he starts to feel even better..the hardest part of watching your children grow is watching while they are sick. You feel helpless not to be able to do anything to make them better faster, quicker, sooner...but it takes time to mend all wounds and time to end all illnesses.
Pawpaw's Wisdom is to enjoy lifes greatest gift..health...we don't know how good we have it until we lose our health..our ability to do things without feeling bad..if a small child can do it, why can't we...why do we always seem to be helpless when we are not. So go out today and enjoy the sun...run errands, go visit a friend, whatever...live life to the fullest...thank you for stopping by and now I have to go run errands..Nana and I are going to go live life.

In a 2011 census report, it was indicated that 20 percent of undergraduates and almost half of all graduate students worked full-time while in school. Although modern technology allows students to participate in online classes, many programs still require physical attendance and hands-on learning. If you must attend a traditional university during daytime hours, you may have to be more creative about finding full-time work.
Call Center
Call centers always need service representatives to answer phone calls and address customer concerns. Banks, credit card companies, utility and cable companies all rely on call center agents to interface with customers over the phone or by email. Many call centers offer 24 hour service every day of the week and operate several full-time shifts around the clock. You could work 40 hours a week in the evening or overnight hours and still have your days free to attend school as needed. Some call center jobs even offer benefits like insurance and a 401k, and reps can earn between $20,000 and $40,000 a year.
Food Service
Food service jobs allow you to work in the evenings and on weekends when most traditional universities do not require you to be in class. Although you're unlikely to find a position that comes with benefits in this industry, you can make a decent income and have fun interacting with patrons and fellow employees. Not all food service jobs give you a consistent 40 hour work week, but it's still possible to make full-time income. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the median income for food and beverage workers was about $18,000 in 2010, but wait staff and bartenders at busy or upscale restaurants can make even more with combined tips and base pay.
Security Guard
Security guards patrol the grounds of colleges, departments stores, office buildings and banks to monitor for suspicious activity and prevent theft or other criminal activity. Guards may be stationed at one entrance point and check visitors in and out as needed, while others maintain an entire building through closed circuit monitors and periodic rounds. Earnings averaged over $11 an hour in 2012, and many security guards work overnight hours. You could attend class during the day, and quiet nights on the job may even allow for some study time.
On Campus Work
If you're struggling to strike a balance between being a full-time worker and full-time student, consider finding a job on campus. By eliminating the commute between work and school, you can maximize the time you have for both. Also, by saving on travel costs, you can maximize your earnings. Some colleges and universities actually prefer giving open positions to students. You may find a paid position as a teaching assistant, student advisor, library assistant, cafeteria worker or janitor.

David Sullivan has apologised to West Ham's fans following the 3-2 defeat at home to Leicester.
The Hammers' joint-chairman gave manager Slaven Bilic a stark warning last week, following the 3-2 loss at Bournemouth, that they had to stop conceding early goals.
It seems the message did not get through, though, as they found themselves 2-0 down after just seven minutes.
Sullivan now admits West Ham's next three games are "vital" as they try to arrest their slide.
"I think all we can do after Saturday's defeat is say is 'sorry' to the supporters," he wrote on the club website.
" To be 2-0 down after seven minutes of any football match, be it in the Premier League or in your local Sunday League, makes it very difficult to get a positive result.
"In parts of the second half we were very good. But, we need to be good before we are losing.
"We have to find out why we are conceding so many goals and fix it because it is obviously harder to win games when you concede two or three goals in a game than if you keep a clean sheet.
"The next few games now become vital for our season. We go to Hull City, then to Arsenal, before we welcome Swansea City to London Stadium."
Goals from Riyad Mahrez and Robert Huth put Leicester in control and Jamie Vardy added a third after Manuel Lanzini pulled one back.
Andre Ayew made it a nervy finale for the Foxes but they held out thanks to two stunning saves from Kasper Schmeichel to thwart Andy Carroll.
Despite their troubles this season Leicester are the only side yet to drop a point from a winning position, and Huth admitted their first away win has been a long time coming.
"We were due an away win, so it's good to come back with the three points," the defender told Leicester's website.
"I always felt we just needed to get 1-0 up in a game. It's something we've done all season - once we go ahead, we don't tend to lose games.
"We made it a bit harder at the end and we were hanging on a bit. Perhaps we could have wrapped the game up earlier, but we got there."

Six Sigma programs work to:- increase customer satisfaction - reduce costs- create efficiencies- improve yield rates- increase qualityTypical Six Sigma training programs consist of one of more Black Belt practitioners guiding Green Belts to successful project completions. Black Belts receive extra training in use of statistical analytical tools along with project management. The QAI Black Belt Course Description Eight total training days in two, four-day training sessions. Pre-requisite: QAI Green Belt certification or equivalentPicking up where Green Belt training leaves off, the QAI Black Belt training class you'll learn the Six Sigma DMAIC in an intense two-week training environment. You will apply your knowledge to a project at your facility and you'll be guided all along the way by support from your classmates and our Master Black Belt instructor. You'll begin to save/make money for your company before you even complete the course.
Week one starts with four days of high level statistical analysis using the software tool of your choice. Each of the phases of the DMAIC model including basic problem solving is covered at a fundamental understanding level. Software and a laptop are needed during this and each subsequent training session. Students may use any statistical software that they prefer, however, class examples will be based on the use of MiniTab software. Students learn how the DMAIC model works and how they will apply DMAIC to each project. As the week concludes, students return to their organization to begin applying concepts learned so that they can prepare for the second week of Six Sigma training. Week two is usually 3-6 weeks after week one.
Four more days of training during week two, simulation and activities are used to help move the Black Belt student through the identified project and direct them to new areas and variables to consider during the running project. During the four days of training in the third week, candidates will begin focusing on their project for cost returns. Design of Experiments tools are taught and described in detail to help the student to include highest level analysis for this project. Students will test their ideas in class and will utilize classroom time to test ideas with student peers. Week Two : Four days of training includes more detailed analysis, team dynamics, project management summarized by a final presentation of successful results.
About the instructor and the course:Students will learn from Master or senior Black Belt instructors.
Graduates of the course will have developed, implemented, analyzed and improved a successful Black Belt project generating a positive return for their employer in the range of $25,000-$200,000 or more. Certificates are issued to candidates that demonstrate satisfactory proficiency in the classroom, as a member of a team, as a leader, demonstration of a project with positive payback or measurable improved customer satisfaction within six months of course end date, and by achieve a passing score on final examination.
Necessary Tools:Students will require use of a personal laptop PC. No specific type of software is required for this class but students should have at least one type of software to use for making sophisticated statistical calculations (example: a product like or similar to Mini-Tab ($1195) software or QI Macros ($129)). The course includes a short section on using Mini-Tab.
Typical Cost savings and improvement analysis associated to Six Sigma
Example: Long-term, competitive analysis tell us that the we can either move all labor intensive processes off-shore or we can begin to combat those costs now. Six sigma is our tool of choice.
Example: What is 1%-5% of total sales at your organization? Annual cost savings realized by successful Six Sigma programs will commonly deliver 1%-5% of the top line to your bottom-line. What company couldn't benefit from that?
Example: What is 7% of net profits at your company? Given proper training, management commitment, and resource availability a Six Sigma Black Belt can be expected to reduce costs by 7% of current net profits and, therefore, enhance profits by an amount equal to at least 7% of current company profits. That is PURE PROFIT going back into the company coffers. Would that amount of profit pay for your training dollars investment in this course? You know it

(KMOV.com) – Caseyville Police Chief Jose Alvarez remains off the job, but is still getting paid as he awaits a court hearing on disorderly conduct and battery charges following an outburst at a public meeting in Feb.
Alvarez and his lawyer are expected to make an appearance at the Caseyville Police Department Wednesday to turn in his equipment. But while he is currently not the town's police chief, he's still collecting his $70,000 a year paycheck. On Monday, city officials voted unanimously to pay him while he awaits his court date in late May.
It all stems from the outburst, which was captured on video by The Belleville News-Democrat and posted to YouTube.
In the video, Alvarez is seen arguing with Caseyville Mayor Len Black. At one point in the video, the mayor tells Alvarez "I'm sure you ought to be proud of the way you're acting in front of this crowd as our chief."
At one point, Alvarez chest bumped another officer.
The mayor has fired Alvarez twice, but he was rehired by the board both times. The outburst happened at a meeting where the chief was reinstated.

A general rule for Texas sage pruning is to wait until after the plants have bloomed. Leucophyllums bloom throughout the warm months so the best time to prune is in very early spring.
Synonyms: Texas ranger, cenizo, silverleaf.
You can remove as much as one-third of the foliage at this time without causing too much stress to the plants.
Avoid hard pruning (removing more than one-third of the top growth at one time) as plants may not recover well.
From spring through fall the Texas sage bush will bloom intermittently with splashes of color--some types are even fragrant.
If you prune during this period you will be removing the bud wood from which the blooms will be produced.
It is best not to shear Texas ranger. Instead use hand pruners to head back branches that have grown too tall and to remove broken or crossing wood. This type of pruning will result in a more natural looking bush and will remove less flowering wood.
If you like to shear plants into topiary shapes, this is probably not the best plant to use.
It will need constant trimming to keep it neat. It's easiest to let it assume its natural billowing growth habit.
If you "inherit" a Texas sage plant that has been trimmed into a neat little ball, you can rescue it--and yourself--from this fate by staggering the length of the shoots with hand pruners. This will take at least a full growing season to rectify and the bush will look a little funny during the transition. In the end, it will be worth it as you'll have a more natural, lower maintenance shrub.
If you don't have the patience for this, you could cut it to the ground and allow it to grow back into its natural form. The risk with this Texas sage pruning method is that it might stress the plant too much. You could lose it.
The main thing is to keep the plants dry. Leucophyllum frutescens doesn't like moist soil--especially in the winter. Overwatering will also encourage excess growth which will cause you to have to prune the bushes more often.
The other thing Texas sage bushes resent is shade. They grow and bloom most abundantly in full sun. Its tolerance of drought, extreme temperatures and wind make it a great desert plant.
Plant it in USDA zones 3-10.

Your initials decide your success: StudyNovember 15th, 2007 - 5:04 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Nov 15 (ANI): If you like your name then you should stop dreaming about being successful, for a new research has found that liking your own name sabotages success for people whose initials match negative performance labels.
The study, conducted by Leif Nelson at the University of California, San Diego and colleague Joseph Simmons from Yale University, provided striking evidence that the unconscious wants can insidiously undermine conscious pursuits.
In the first study, the team investigated the effect of name resemblance on batters strikeouts. In baseball, strikeouts are recorded using the letter K.
The researchers, after analysing Major League Baseball players performance spanning 93 years, found that batters whose names began with K struck out at a higher rate than the remaining batters.
Even Karl Koley Kolseth would find a strikeout aversive, but he might find it a little less aversive than players who do not share his initials, and therefore he might avoid striking out less enthusiastically, the researchers said.
In a second study, the team investigated the phenomenon in academia in which they reviewed 15 years of grade point averages (GPAs) for M.B.A. students.
Letter grades are commonly used to measure students performance, with the letters A, B, C and D denoting different levels of performance.
The analysis found that students whose names began with C or D earned lower GPAs than students whose names began with A or B.
Students with the initial C or D, presumably because of an unconscious fondness for these letters, were slightly less successful at achieving their conscious academic goals.
Interestingly, students with the initial A or B did not perform better than students whose initials were grade irrelevant. Therefore, having initials that match hard-to-achieve positive outcomes, like acing a test, may not necessarily cause an increase in performance.
After analysing law schools, the researchers found that as the quality of schools declined, so did the proportion of lawyers with name initials A and B.
The researchers also confirmed the new findings in the laboratory with an anagram test.
The result of the test confirmed that when peoples initials matched negative performance outcomes, performance suffered.
The study will be published in Psychological Science. (ANI)

No mouse click is superfluous and no key has to be pressed unnecessarily. Many working processes have been automated so that an examination can be made during the same time it would take using a hand-held dermoscope.The patient database can store all important information and allows for importing and exporting of images.
Complex documentations can be performed in only a few steps. The location related storage of images developed and used for the first time by Visiomed ensures quick and reproducible work. Images can be assigned in a practical manner on either a live overview taken of the patient or a pre-drawn graphic overview. The automatic follow-up examination is even faster. If another image of the same lesion is taken at a later time, microDERM® can automatically display the previous image alongside the new image for comparison during a follow-up examination.
After the image has been captured the integrated DANAOS expert system can calculate a classification value based on the world's largest multi-centre study for computer-aided early detection of skin cancer. Borderline lesions can thus be classified reliably and quickly by their dermoscopical relevant features using the ABCD-rule as well as self-teaching neural networks.
A follow-up examination using the microDERM® system can support modern medical care. Details can be magnified in steps and an automatic display comparing earlier findings with the current images allows the system to show even the smallest changes in the skin. The integrated DANAOS expert system is able to calculate changes of archived images.
Standardized dermoscopic images are the basis of an advanced image system. But the day-to-day requirements in a modern dermatological practice are far beyond that: aesthetic operations, laser treatments and the documentation of treatment successes require clinical images.
Only images in brilliant quality will guarantee reliability and convince the patient. The macro-function can be used to document even large skin zones without an inconvenient change to the optics. All essential steps can be controlled directly via the camera to save time and allow more attention to the patient.
In addition to microscopic images, the system can also provide clinical images in a brilliant quality, which can be archived for documentation purposes. The images can be sent by e-mail and can also be printed on high-quality photographic paper. It is also possible to export images to prepare lecture slides.
Images can be sent to colleagues and laboratories with the click of the mouse, using e-mail. It is also possible to discuss images with colleagues online in an Internet conference. The partners only need Internet access. Extensive coding and seamless integration allow extremely user-friendly operation with maximum reliability.
It's the details which make the use of the microDERM® system so efficient and convenient in every day use. Experience gained from years of development and the close co-operation with dermatological clinics and established specialists throughout Europe have resulted in a product that meets the challenging demands of modern dermatology. All components meet the stringent regulations governing medical products.
The microDERM® system can subsequently be expanded with the following components:

SAN JOSE � Defenseman Paul Martin is trying to not look too far ahead. It�s game day, he�s feeling good, and on Friday night, he�ll be expected to log significant minutes for the Barracuda in a rivalry game against the Stockton Heat.
In a season beset by injuries and disappointment, thinking about anything else might only add to the frustration.
�From this whole year, I�ve just learned to not expect anything,� Martin said Friday morning. �You prepare yourself, you work and you get back to enjoying the game. It�s been a good experience.
�The more I think about it or get impatient, the worse it gets. So (it�s about) what I can control.�
What he can�t control is if he�ll ever play in the NHL again, whether it�s with the Sharks or any other team.
There was some trade chatter right around the time Martin, 36, was placed on waivers by the Sharks last month. Martin�s agent, Ben Hankinson, told this newspaper at the time that although it was early in the process, �definitely at least a handful of teams have interest and we're trying to see if there's a fit.�
It�s been pretty quiet since. Before Friday, Martin had played six games with the Barracuda, and may need to play a few more leading into the Feb. 26 trade deadline to see if things pick up. There is also a chance that Martin would be recalled if any of the seven defensemen now on the Sharks� roster become injured.
Martin said Friday that Hankinson will �let me know if there�s anything. Probably wait until the deadline to see if anything happens, if there�s teams that need some depth. Just kind of wait and see.�
In the meantime with the Barracuda, Martin has been paired in games with either Julius Bergman or Michael Brodzinski, who are each 14 years his junior. Martin has played 859 games in the NHL. Bergman and Brodzinski have yet to play one.
�I can�t say enough good things,� Barracuda coach Roy Sommer said of Martin. �He�s not probably the greatest skater or the most physical guy, but his stick is real good and he just thinks the game real well. He makes a lot of little plays to get us out on the breakouts, the way he gets back for pucks and how he gets under sticks. That�s kind of what he does.
�He�s getting a little long in the tooth and I think he knows that. Overall, he�s been a great guy to have around.�
The Barracuda went on a 12-day road trip to finish January, taking Martin to unfamiliar places � at least to him � like San Diego, Austin and San Antonio.
Not on a charter jet, either. It�s Southwest Airlines all the way.
�It�s a neat experience. I try not to bug them too much,� Martin said of his teammates. �I�m 15 years older than most of these guys. But you just try to relate a little bit and make it fun for them. They work hard. They�re hard on themselves and sometimes they make it hard on themselves. Anything I can do to help them along the way, I try.�
Martin�s first preference, of course, would be to still be playing in the NHL.
Martin was injured for most of the first two months of the season before he went on a two-week conditioning stint in December with the Barracuda.
When he came back right, he was a healthy scratch by Sharks coach Pete DeBoer for seven straight games from Dec. 28 to Jan. 13, as first-year NHL defensemen Joakim Ryan and Tim Heed continued to demonstrate that they belonged.
On Jan. 15, Martin was placed on waivers by Sharks general manager Doug Wilson. He cleared the next day.
Martin would have at least liked to have had the opportunity to play a game or two with the Sharks to shake off the rust and �get it going. But what can you do?�
�If Pete�s making the calls to where he doesn�t see me playing, instead of sitting around, it�s good for me to get to a spot where I can play. Doug has been good enough to let me do that and play and see if anyone might be interested �
Perhaps his time in the AHL would turn out to be a showcase for other teams that might be interested in acquiring Martin, who has one year left on his contract that carries a $4.85 million cap hit. But at the very least, it�s given him another chance to suit up on game days..
�I�m actually good. Whatever happens, happens,� Martin said. �When I�m here, I don�t think too much about it. I haven�t been paying too much attention. Just kind of here with the guys, playing some hockey. The more games you play, the more comfortable you get.�

Co-presented with the Chicago Cinema Society
In a distant future wasteland, many years after an apocalypse wiped out most of humankind's history, a new religion has emerged. Random found artifacts of late 20th century pop culture that have been collected into a twisted spiritual narrative of gods and wonders. This is a land where a vintage Michael Jackson LP is a sacred object. Physically malformed Candy (the incredible Daniel Tadesse, a star in the new wave of Ethiopian film) is tired of his day-to-day routine, salvaging and bartering scraps from bygone civilizations. He embarks on a quest to conquer his fears and learn more about a mysterious UFO that's been hovering in the sky "since the beginning of the big war." His journey will see him crossing paths with numerous unexpected obstacles, including witches, Nazis and an emaciated and rather belligerent Santa Claus.
Ethiopia's first sci-fi feature also happens to be a post-apocalyptic black comedy, an eccentric love story and a brilliant blast of politically charged surrealism. The most jaded cinephile will be lit up by this intelligent and offbeat blast of Afro-futurism. It's an extraordinary feature debut for writer/producer/director Miguel Llansó, sumptuously photographed with widescreen panoramas the make potent use of Ethiopia's largely alien-to-Western-eyes landscapes, and staged with a bottomless sense of invention, poetry and wit. Llansó has created a hugely original futureworld oddity, where magic fuses with history, and religious faith evolves into something even more absurdist than the extremes of our current age — all fronted by a performer every bit as singular as the film itself. To state the obvious, CRUMBS is quite unlike anything you've ever encountered. - Mitch Davis (Fantasia International Film Festival)

U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense Andrew C. Weber recently visited the head of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons at the group's headquarters in The Hague.
Director-General of the OPCW Ahmet uzumcu met with U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Defense Programs Andrew C. Weber in order to give him a series of updates related to the global and U.S. implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention.
At the meeting, uzumcu commended the United States for its work in support of the CWC and the OPCW.
The CWC is approaching its 15th anniversary and the member nations are preparing for the Third Review Conference, to be held in The Hague in April.
uzumcu was recently in New York, where he spoke at a meeting of the United Nations convened to commemorate the convention's upcoming anniversary.
Weber is the principal advisor to the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics for issues that relate to chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons.

This proposal involving 10 luxury cars would be pretty hard to turn down
We can finally report a Chinese marriage proposal that worked, unlike the awkward surprise proposal where the boyfriend was stone faced, or the one where a beautiful woman was rejected despite offering her car and a house. Maybe it's because in this case, the elaborate proposal involved many expensive cars.
Recently in the city of Zhengzhou in Hunan province, a man named Jia arrived in an expensive car to propose to his girlfriend. He was supported by friends who also came in their expensive cars. There was a lineup of 10 luxury autos, including such elite brands as Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Mercedes Benz, parked at the fancy 360 Plaza in Zhengzhou.
While a crowd gathered to gawk at the expensive cars, the man came out with a bouquet of flowers. The huge LED screen overlooking the square played a video of his declaration of love. His girlfriend was so touched that she cried and accepted his proposal. Jia told the reporter that his girlfriend had no inkling beforehand and it was a total surprise to her. She was also given a Ferrari as a gift after she accepted the proposal.
Watch a 400-year old alien hunk fall in love with a beautiful actress in My Love from Another Star.
I can't even begin to wonder what would have happened if she had not accepted the proposal.

So, I've been reading a wondrous book on self-publishing (and don't let it fool you, it gives a number of great thoughts and ideas, regardless of how your books will be sent out into the wild) this past week, and just passed through a section on titles.
So, of course, Friends in Deed (the current title of my recently finished WIP) is now being thrust into a total free-for-all, taking on all challengers.
Will it retain its glorious honor of being the title? Will it be tossed out over the top ring rope?
Trick is, the major push of the story is that Aston comes across a pair of old friends who in the end, don't turn out to be his friends at all. So, for the longest time, the title always seemed to fit (plus, I liked the play on words (Are Friends in Deed Friends Indeed?))
Enter the latest WIP, currently titled Death Brings the Victory.
Because of things that happen in Friends in Deed (as currently titled), I began thinking that maybe Death Brings the Victory may be a suitable title for Friends in Deed (confused yet?). And perhaps I modify it up some (but still drop DBV as the title for the new WIP) and it could become Death Is the Victory (a play on the title of an old church hymn, Faith Is the Victory).
Or maybe Death Makes the Victory, because everyone loves the DMV...
And then again, maybe I should start from scratch on a title. As I mentioned, this book on self-publishing has a lot of good ideas, including ways to come up with a title.
So, we'll see what happens...
In the meantime, root for your favorite. I love comments...

Important advice is available in the 'Security' section on protecting yourself against phishing and malware delivered in an email.
In particular be very careful about opening attachments, or web links in messages, as these are a common way of spreading malware. Make sure that you keep your antivirus and other anti-malware software up to date (it is available free in the University) – however you should also note that such software may lag behind the malware. If you receive an attachment you were not expecting, even if it appears to come from a friend, do not open it until you have checked it with up-to-date virus/malware checking software. It is also a good idea to check with the sender that the message and attachment were sent intentionally.
Occasionally the mail may be more threatening or of a personal nature. If this is the case, then guidelines on what to do about harassing email are available.

Bayard Faithfull understands how young tennis players feel. They want to be like who they see on TV, like Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic.
In other words, they want to play singles. Doubles? That's not even part of the conversation.
But Faithfull has built his Beacon boys tennis program around strong doubles play – it's crucial at the high school and collegiate level. This year's Blue Demons first and second doubles might have been his most valued yet.
"Everyone wants to be a singles player," Faithfull said. "These kids have really worked to be good doubles players. It's a different game. It's a different set of skills. I'm proud of them for focusing on really good becoming doubles teams and becoming good doubles players."
On Tuesday, top-seed Beacon's doubles teams lost one combined set and the rest of the squad made it stand up for a 5-0 win over No. 3 Brooklyn Tech in the PSAL Class A championships at Flushing Meadows Park. The victory gave the Blue Demons a fourth straight city title and championships five of the last six years.
"I was confident we were going to get two wins from them," Faithfull said. "Having strong doubles puts so much pressure on the other team."
The all-freshman first doubles team of Lucas Pickering and Maxwell Smith defeated Ilan Korchmar and Justin Selig, 6-0, 6-0, and sophomore Daniel Segan and freshman Richard Sec beat Bert Bunyan and Justin Buyan, 6-1, 6-0.
The four underclassmen can look toward Christian Waldron and Jeremyah Schur as role models. The two Beacon singles players competed in doubles on previous championship teams. Waldron defeated Sami Chahi, 6-3, 6-2, at second singles and Schur knocked off Mikolaj Borak, 6-3, 6-3, at third singles.
"That's pretty much the ladder," Faithfull said. "You hope the freshman grow up and do that."
Then, of course, there was senior first singles Quinton Vega, who was recently named an All-American, an honor bestowed upon just the 35 best high-school players in the country. The unsigned Vega beat Brooklyn Tech's Jake Sosonkin, 6-4, 6-1, at first singles in his final PSAL match.
"For me the single biggest thing Quinton has meant to our team is he has really led by example," Faithfull said. "He's willing to coach. He's as much of a coach on our team as I am. He'll pull a kid aside. He'll teach a kid a stroke. The kids just have ultimate respect for him as a person, as a teammate and as a captain. That's going to be a huge void next year. Quinton Vega is Quinton Vega. He's a different beast."
The coach will have him for the Mayor's Cup, which starts June 3, unlike last year. For all of Beacon's success, it has just one crown at the event, which pits New York City's best teams from the PSAL, CHSAA and private school leagues. Vega was torn last spring with an outside tournament – the prestigious USTA sectionals – going on at the same time. His absence led to a semifinal loss to Cardozo.
"It's a little unfair to top players," Faithfull said. "Everybody wants him, but no one is willing to budge."
It shouldn't be a problem this year, though.
"I think we're all aboard for the Mayor's Cup," Faithfull said.
And with that doubles strength, Beacon might be just fine without him.
