Voter ID laws could swing states
At least 5 million voters, predominantly young and from minority groups sympathetic to President Barack Obama, could be affected by an unprecedented flurry of new legislation by Republican governors and GOP-led legislatures to change or restrict voting rights by Election Day 2012.
Supporters of these new laws — spearheaded in six swing states, as well as other less competitive ones — argue they are just trying to stop voter fraud and protect the integrity of the vote. But opponents, mainly Democrats and Obama's campaign, which is closely monitoring the daily warfare over the new laws, believe they are trying to change the face of the electorate in a way that benefits the Republican candidate for president.
Story Continued Below
( See also POLITICO's Swing State Map)
Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Virginia and Wisconsin, all viewed as important states this fall, each have enacted stricter ID laws. Florida and Ohio have cut back on early voting. And a whole host of other states have passed new ID laws as well.
As a result, millions of voters will find it much more difficult to vote on Election Day in November — some estimates, such as one from the Brennan Center of Justice last fall, put the number of those affected nationwide at more than 5 million. In Pennsylvania alone, the state's Transportation Department released figures showing that more than 750,000 registered voters in the state — 9.2 percent of voters there — do not have the required forms of ID to vote in November.
"Swing states are always much more likely to have these kinds of laws restricting voting," said Wendy Weiser, director of Brennan's Democracy Program. "To the extent that it's a political tactic to try and game the system, … it does make sense that that is where we see a lot of that because that is where it could make a difference to the outcome."
The laws tend to disproportionately affect young voters and minorities — key Obama demographics — so the new restrictions will have an outsize impact on Democratic turnout. In Pennsylvania, for example, 18 percent of Philadelphia residents, who voted overwhelmingly for Obama in 2008, don't have adequate IDs to vote in 2012.
Underscoring the measures' racial overtones, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder had harsh words for the voter ID measures more generally, calling them the equivalent of a "poll tax" at the NAACP conference in Houston earlier this month.
Proponents of voter ID laws, though, say they're actually making voting fairer and eliminating the chance for voting fraud.
"I just don't think it's too onerous to pass [these laws] — our vote is our most sacred expression of our desire for our country," said Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote, a group that advocates for more voter ID legislation.
Swing states that have passed voter legislation have seen strong legal pushback from Democrats and voting rights groups. For instance, the League of Women Voters and Rock the Vote have filed lawsuits against a handful of the stricter laws in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, as well as other voting provisions in Florida.
Perhaps an even bigger complication than the laws themselves is that so much of the voter legislation around the country is in flux, and could still be by Election Day. Ongoing lawsuits are one factor in the uncertainty; other states require pre-clearance before the law's implementation from the Justice Department under the Voting Rights Act.

Each of our career advisors specialize in a specific area based on school and concentration. For more information on which advisor you would see, visit the Staff Directory.
Career fairs provide opportunities for you to meet with a variety of employers for several reasons:
- To gather information about their companies
- To practice your interview skills: both "selling yourself" and asking questions
- To find out what jobs are available and what employers are looking for
- While many employers will be recruiting for openings that currently exist, some employers will attend to share information about their organizations and to collect resumes for possible future openings
See Loyola Career Fairs for a list of Loyola-sponsored fairs, as well as the employers who have registered to participate. Log-in to Handshake for relevant events produced by outside organizations in and around the Chicago area.
- Have a resume that you're proud of. Some fairs invite you to submit resumes in advance so that attending companies might have a chance to prescreen. This is to your advantage. You'll also want to bring numerous copies with you to distribute at the fair.
- Obtain a list of employers and identify which companies you would like to meet. This is your opportunity to prescreen. Research the companies and have a list of questions to ask the recruiter.
- Prepare a 2-minute speech describing who you are, what kind of work you are looking for and your qualifications. Your goal is to spark their interest in you for a more formal interview.
- Dress for success. It may be a cliche but it's imperative for making a positive first impression. Wear comfortable, professional shoes.
- Begin with a positive attitude. Expect long lines and hassles. Always be kind and considerate, since anyone you meet might be a recruiter you'll see later that day.
- Survey the room when you arrive. Make a list of the employers you want to meet. Try to meet with your top choices first because some recruiters leave early.
- Go to it! If someone is already at the company table when you approach, respect the other candidate's privacy and wait for him/her to finish. If there is a line, try to remain positive about the experience and wait patiently for your turn.
- Get the recruiter's business card at the close of your meeting. Ask how and when you should follow up.
- Take a few moments after each interview to jot some notes to yourself about the position, company and recruiter. These notes will be important later when you write your follow-up letters after the career fair.
- Reflect on how the interview went, what you learned, what you wish you would have said, mentally rehearse it for the next interview and move to the next employer on your list.
- Collect any literature from companies that interest you, even if you were unable to interview them. The literature will allow you to follow up with them more effectively. If a company is a no-show, contact the fair organizers for the name and address to write to request information or to send your resume.
- Relax, recover and massage your smile muscles.
- Organize all the material you received.
- Write thank-you letters. This is your chance to once again highlight your strengths, but this time you know what they're looking for. Your letter should demonstrate how you would be a "good fit."
- Make follow-up emails/phone calls. Depending on what the recruiter said regarding how and when to follow-up, email or call the recruiter to ask about the status of the search and if you might schedule an on-site interview.
Career Services sponsors a number of events each year, including career fairs, workshops and information sessions/tables. In addition, we publicize relevant events produced by outside organizations in and around the Chicago area. Check your Handshake account for additional events and registration details.
The Career Development Center uses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Strong Interest Inventory in conjunction with our Career Self-Assessment Workshop (C-SAW) and Career and Life Planning Seminar (UNIV 224)class. After meeting with a career advisor, students can take these assessment instruments and receive the interpretation in a career self-assessment workshop or in individual advising sessions.
See the Graduate Education dropdown under Students and Alumni. Information also is available in the career library about the application process to graduate schools and professional programs, and writing personal statements. In addition, career advisors can discuss options, critique personal statements and applications, and assist with the entire decision-making process.

Is Age Really Just a Number? Investigating Approaches to Employee Engagement
- Authors:
Publication Date:
July 2010
This Research Report and Key Findings provide a comparative case study analysis to investigate leading companies' employee engagement strategies and determine whether these approaches included a multigenerational lens. The companies studied were selected not only for their differing industries, but because they continue to remain committed to improving the employee experience in the wake of the economic crisis.
Specifically, the case study analysis was designed to consider two questions:
- What approaches do leading companies take to engage their employees so that they may achieve their business goals?
- Do these companies customize their approaches to focus on age/generation and/or other demographic differences?

The Workhorse W-20D/W-22D front-engine diesel chassis with its International MaxxForce 7 engine has taken a big leap in improving motorhome fuel economy, while providing outstanding torque for Class A motorhomes along with the quietest V8 diesel engine you might ever drive, according to a news release.
Independent tests at Bosch Proving Grounds in South Bend, Ind., had this chassis-engine match-up achieving up to 13.2 mpg, an almost unheard of figure for a Class A motorhome. The tests were conducted with a 32-foot Four Winds Serrano coach body and loaded to the maximum 20,500-pound GVWR. The Serrano has been drawing heavy consumer interest throughout 2009 and was named a "Best of Show" at the September Pennsylvania RV and Camping Show by RVbuddiesonline.com. The W20D chassis and MaxxForce 7 engine are both on display at the National RV Trade Show in Louisville this week along with the Serrano.
The latest version of the MaxxForce 7, V8 tuned for motorhomes generates 230 hp and 620 pound-feet of torque. "This high volume, rugged mid-range diesel engine is the heart of many International medium duty trucks. Now it is making its mark in the RV industry," said Tony Monda, Workhorse Custom Chassis Corp. vice president of marketing. "Coupled with the six-speed Allison transmission, our W20D and W22D front engine diesel platforms do not sacrifice power and performance in order to achieve better fuel economy.
"These platforms have incredible grade ability and pulling power. Our proprietary RV consumer research indicated that class A potential buyers still want power and performance — but they are also demanding better fuel economy and that is what the new W-Series delivers. Our strategy is to continue to integrate MaxxForce engines into Workhorse products where applicable, creating synergies with (parent company) Navistar(International Corp.) along with true market differentiation."
Quietest diesel V8
Drivers will also immediately notice that MaxxForce 7 is quiet. The noise level measured at 68.9 dBA in a low idle test. A high-pressure common rail fuel system, piezo actuated fuel injectors and a block and head design with a single-piece nodular iron bedplate are among the features that contribute to reduced noise and vibrations, a key to the MaxxForce 7's front-engine application.
Selling well
Presently, the Serrano coach from Four Winds International exclusively uses the W20D for both its 31Z single-slide out and 31V double slide out models. Four Winds Director of Marketing Jon Krider said dealerships with the product find that "it retails quite quickly. They're seeing consumers that traditionally look at diesel pushers and longer coaches. These customers are finding many features with the coach and chassis that they like, starting with things like storage and the whole aerodynamic look and contemporary feel of the coach. So instead of spending $200,000 to $300,000 for a bigger coach, they can get a lot of what they want at a much lower price point."
Regarding the W20D and Serrano matchup, Krider said, "Retail customers comment on how quiet the cockpit is for having a diesel engine right under their feet. We get a lot of comments about just how well the coach drives because of the 50-degree turning radius and being able to turn a short coach around in a tight area. And we get many good comments about the overall stability of the coach moving down the road."
For such reasons, Krider believes spring sales of the Serrano will be even better.
High performance technology
The series sequential EVRT turbocharger provides exceptional response over a wide range of engine speeds for impressive acceleration, grade climbing, towing capability and high altitude performance. The turbo is tuned to improve fuel economy while also making the vehicle very responsive to the driver. The MaxxForce 7 also provides unaided cold-starting performance from -20° F within four seconds. Routine maintenance is economical, with oil changes every 10,000 miles.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 12, No. 2 Fall 1985
Thomas D. Wood and
Anne J. Sylvestre UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH ALABAMA
The accounting profession has changed to meet the requirements of business, government and other economic influences. In particu-lar, standards of practice and principles to guide the selection of choices have been developed, modified, restated and fine-tuned over the past 70 to 80 years in response to the needs of an expanding American economy.
The common body of knowledge of accountants also has changed. The attest function grew in pre-eminence because shareholders and others wanted and needed accountability. The Internal Revenue Code demanded tax experts. Complex business and government operations and organizations came to need expertise in a wide variety of services, from systems design and installation to advice on other internal functions, sometimes called "management ad-visory services."
A framework of ethics was adopted (and amended) governing the attitudes and conduct of accountants in the course of their engagements. Independence and the strict adherence to standards and principles were considered as the foundations of ethics; ethics and a common body of knowledge, were the foundations of a profession.
Accountants wanted to be a profession, and advertising was believed to be unethical. This belief has also changed, and ac-countants have come full circle in the matter of advertising. His-torians may be prompted to recall that history does, after all, repeat itself, or perhaps to quote from the Book of Ecclesiastes ". . .there is not a new thing under the sun." The intention of this paper is to trace the history of advertising by accountants in order to answer the question: have accountants changed their philosophy about advertising in order to meet a change in the environment in which

When talking about Nvidia's 3D Vision active shutter glasses the usual association is with stereoscopic 3D gaming, but you should know that they can be used for professional purposes too. But in order to do that you'll need to have a professional Quadro graphics board instead of the consumer GeForce series of video cards. And besides the shutter glasses and the Quadro card you'll still have to use a 3D-ready display of some kind and then there is also the professional application that needs to support stereoscopic 3D mode… and that is something very important!
One of the requirements for the 3D Vision is to have a GeForce 8xxx series video card or newer, meaning that the 3D Vision driver uses the stream processors architecture introduced with this cards and thus cannot function on the older models. The consumer stereo 3D support for 3D Vision is currently limited only to Direct3D and requires you to use full screen mode, although it seems that Nvidia is working on improving things and removing some of the limitations. There is yet another one significant limitation and that is the lack of support for older Windows versions like Windows XP – the 3D Vision driver is available only for the users with Windows Vista or Windows 7…
On the other hand, when using Quadro graphics, you may have more options available to you depending on what model is your Quadro card. Now you have two options for Quadro and 3D Vision – too use the same mode as with the consumer GeForce cards with the same limitations with the help of the 3D Vision drivers, or to use the professional stereo 3D mode with the Quadro drivers. Have in mind that the Direct3D support requires you to have a more recent Quadro card based on the stream processors architecture and Nvidia lists only the following models as supported: Quadro FX 5800, Quadro FX 4800, Quadro FX 3800, Quadro FX 5600, Quadro FX 4700 X2, Quadro FX 4600, Quadro FX 3700, Quadro CX, Quadro FX 1800, Quadro FX 580, Quadro FX 380, Quadro FX 380 LP, Quadro FX 1700, Quadro FX 570, Quadro FX 370. But as I already said the D3D mode is the consumer mode needed in order to play games in stereoscopic 3D mode and you probably are not very interested to do that with a Quadro card, right? The other mode you can use with a Quadro is the one available only in the professional applications and it is called Quad Buffered OpenGL Stereo mode. This mode has been available for years and Nvidia and ATI support it for years in their professional line of products, but don't think you'll be able to lets say play OpenGL games with it – you won't, because this is a specific mode and not general OpenGL stereoscopic 3D support as with the Direct3D 3D Vision Driver. The advantages of the Quad Buffered OpenGL Stereo mode is that it is supported on much wider array of products than the listed above as it does not require you to have a specifically stream processors architecture GPU. Aside from that it can also work in applications in a window, there is no need to have the application in full screen mode to active the stereo 3D mode and it also does work with Windows XP with the respective Quadro driver. The reason for that is that the mode is integrated in the Quadro driver itself and does not need additional software like the 3D Vision driver, but if you have a newer Quadro (one of the above models) you can use both Direct3D and Quad Buffered OpenGL Stereo modes just by switching between the two drivers.
So even if you have an older Quadro video card you still might be able to use it with Quad Buffered OpenGL Stereo mode and the 3D Vision active shutter glasses in applications that do support it. You need to download and install a Quadro driver version at least 186.18 as this one was the first to introduce the support for the USB IR transmitter that comes with the 3D Vision glasses. So if you have an older Quadro with old video drivers you just need to update them to the latest version to get the new hardware support and you should be able to make things work. Along with the Quadro driver update, you'll have to install the USB driver for the IR transmitter that is now available as a separate package, but previously you had to get it from the 3D Vision package. Then you need to open the NVIDIA Control Panel, go to the Manage 3D Settings tab and select the right mode for Stereo Display Mode – Generic Active Stereo (with NVIDIA IR Emitter) or On-board DIN connector (with NVIDIA IR Emitter) if you are using the external 3-pin DIN connector for synchronization. And them you need to enable the Stereo – Enable by selection the ON mode in the respective place in the settings panel and that is it, you are ready to use the Quad Buffered OpenGL Stereo mode. Just don't forget to disable the 3D Vision driver if you have it also installed when using this mode and you can enable it again (if your card supports it of course) to use stereo in Direct3D when you need it.
There might be some issues if you are using a Quadro FX 1800 or Quadro FX 580 card. When you setup everything and try to run an application in Quad Buffered OpenGL Stereo mode and the display shows the right image (doubled), but the glasses refuse to start flicker in sync don't worry. This is most likely not a software issue resulting from you doing something wrong, actually it might be a problem with the Video BIOS of your video card, you need to check for an updated VBIOS and flash the card to fix it. You can see your current VBIOS version with a program like GPU-Z and then check the manufacturer website for an updated version or contact the support requesting such VBIOS if there isn't one publicly available. After reflashing the Quadro card with the latest VBIOS it should work just fine in stereo 3D mode.
If you have some of the higher-end Quadro models your card might be equipped with an external connector for cable synchronization with the IR transmitter of the 3D Vision glasses. This 3-pin DIN cable plugs in the Quadro and at the back of the IR transmitter and it cam also used by 3D-capable DLP HDTV sets. The problem here might arise from the fact that the European 3D Vision kit for example does not include this cable, but you might've received it with the Quado card, otherwise you have to buy it separately and it can be quite expensive, although it is nothing special actually. Just have in mind that even though your Quadro card might support the external cable synchronization that you may still use it without this cable by selecting the Generic Active Stereo (with NVIDIA IR Emitter) instead the one with the On-board DIN connector. This however might lead to some annoying flickering according to Nvidia in some rare cases, but I haven't seen this problem so far.
And one last thing at the end, even if you can only use the Quad Buffered OpenGL Stereo mode on your older Quadro graphics card you still will be able to use the 3D Vision for watching 3D movies and looking at 3D photos. What you need is just the right viewing software that does support the Quad Buffered OpenGL Stereo mode as a viewing method such as the Stereoscopic Player (not the 3D Vision stereoscopic player!) or the StereoPhoto Maker. So the only thing you will not be able to do is play games in stereoscopic 3D mode with an older Quadro…

Could Ari Gold be branching out into into sports on "Entourage" as the HBO show heads into its seventh season?
That was the very clear message from actor Jeremy Piven, who has racked up some serious Emmy awards playing the brash Hollywood agent.
"I love the way my character is evolving," Piven said. "This is a little bit of an exclusive, but he's looking to get into sports. He may go into some kind of sports ownership."
Appropriately, Piven was speaking on WGN during the rain delay of the White Sox game against the Mariners when he made the admission. Then he clammed up.
"I probably shouldn't say anything more."
This would also explain Piven's recent Twit-pic of himself on set with Dallas Cowboy owner Jerry Jones.
Ari Gold has the obnoxious personality to fit into the world of professional team ownership. And if he needed acting points for the part, Jones clearly was the guy to go to.
But this might be a leap too far for the character who has earned his cred from playing the ultimate Hollywood insider. We'll see June 27 when the new season premieres.

Recipe: Chimichurri sauce that tastes like Spring itself
This Argentine sauce tastes as green and fresh as Spring itself.
We make it for churrascos, the grilled steak sandwiches we used to eat when we lived in Chile. Oddly, we never had chimichurri down there.
Chileans use pebre, a tomato-based salsa that is one of the few spicy condiments they eat, contrary to the name of the country. (But that's another post.)
There are many recipes for this green sauce. Click below for mine.

The fifth commandment instructs us to "honor your mother and your father." Last time I checked, there is no social commandment instructing our elders to hide their gray. The veneration that our tradition gives to a person with gray hair is undermined by a nip-and-tuck culture. People in large numbers persist in trying to mask the natural effects of aging, which creates a false hierarchy of youth and communicates that those who are older are less valued.
It's time we got over it. The statistics are quite clear: We are living in a time when the oldest in our society are the fastest-growing portion of the population. And yet it is also clear that people over 85 are frequently marginalized, lonely and alienated from the larger community. Significant change is needed.
We tend to focus inordinately on children, teenagers and young adults. They are presented as our future and our continuity. But these populations should not be granted the exclusive focus of our collective energy and creativity. Ensuring our future — the future of every person reading this article — means guarding life such that each of us can continue to live meaningful lives up until the very end.
There are some obvious challenges we must overcome to help seniors remain vital members of our communities. Among them are improved access to senior health care, accessible communal organizations, supportive housing and support for caregivers. People should be able to choose to live in a community where they can receive supportive services, maintain friendships, have a rich spiritual life and easy access to health care and health maintenance.
How do we do this as a community? We should be designing and building affordable supportive housing integrated into our neighborhoods, with health services easily accessible and multigenerational communal life bubbling all around. We honor our elders by integrating them into our lives.
More than 50 years ago my grandfather, Dr. Milton I. Levine, wrote a letter to The New York Times outlining a foster care program for elders. His idea remains relevant today: Adopt an elder. Learn their story.
But to truly see the elders in our midst, we also need to stop denying our own aging process. Young and old—we are all in this together. It's time to see the beauty and value in each individual regardless of age.

Journos can tweet from UK courts: But who's a journo?
If you aren't a hack, you have to ask
Journalists will be able to tweet freely from courts says new guidance from the UK Judiciary, but members of the public will still have to ask the judge's permission to be able to use Twitter in a court-room.
Before yesterday, journalists had to be licensed before tweeting the proceedings of a trial. Now they can "Twitter as much [they] wish" as the Lord Chief Justice announced yesterday.
Tweeting is only allowed from court cases that are public, and are under no reporting restrictions - ruling out some Family and Criminal cases for example. Photography is still strictly banned. In what may be fiddly to enforce the guidance states that: "Any equipment which has photographic capability must not have that function activated". Sound recordings are also prohibited.
Those not tweeting or using their phone for "live text-based communication" have to turn their phone off. Texting, personal emails and phone calls are still strictly prohibited. And if too many people are tweeting and it's interfering with the court's own equipment, the judge may limit the number of devices allowed in court.
A member of the public can get permission to tweet by asking court staff to pass on their request the judge. The judge will make the decision based on whether the application may interfere with the proper administration of justice, the guidance states.
What is a journalist?
The guidance document offers no information on what the courts consider to be the distinguishing features of a journalist. Does the work experience kid on the local newspaper count? Student journos? Local bloggers? We have asked for some official clarification.
In the meantime, The Register understands that the new guidance is intended to increase the reporting of court cases in accordance with the principle of open justice. We understand that who is reading the tweet-reports would be relevant. If in doubt, the would-be tweeter should make a request to the judge.
Laws on contempt of court will be applied to the tweets as they would be to articles published about the proceedings regardless of whether the tweeter is a journalist or member or the public.
The use of social media in law courts is a hot area. A juror was recently jailed for 8 months for Facebooking an acquitted defendant in a case in June - and a furore over Twitter users breaking privacy super-injunctions drove the Attorney General to threaten tweeters with lawsuits. ®

NORTON, Mass. – Led by Duncan Smith's four goals and one assist the host Lyons of Wheaton College (Mass.) defeated men's lacrosse by the final score of 11-2 Wednesday afternoon Mirrione Stadium.
Along with Smith, David Schroeder also contributed to Wheaton's victory as he scored a combined three goals.
Netting one goal each for the Beacons was Domenic Fichera (Scituate, Mass.) and Cam Hanlon (Hanson, Mass.). Ryan FitzGerald tallied the lone assist for UMass Boston. Between the pipes senior netminder Anthony Fitti (Havertown, Pa.) had one of his busiest days of the season to date as he totaled a season-high 15 saves.
Fitti's standout play helped to limit the Lyons to just two goals in the first half. Unfortunately the Beacons were held scoreless through the first two frames. After the break Wheaton tacked on five goals in the third to take control of what was an even stalemate for the first half of the afternoon.
Fichera ended the Beacons scoring drought late in the third on an unassisted play. The goal marked the sixth of the year for him. The fourth period would see four more goals from the Lyons attack, while Hanlon drove home his third score of the year just minutes into the period.
Combined the Lyons outshot the Beacons 40-21, and also held a 35-19 advantage in groundballs. Eric Collins (Somerville, Mass.), Leo Ajemian (Walpole, Mass.), and Fitti each finished with a team-best three groundballs, while Wheaton's Harrison Bramhall led his squad with five pick-ups.
Lacrosse returns to action on Saturday when they face Plymouth State University at 1 p.m. on the Clark Athletic Center Field.

The freshman also qualified for the event finals in the 200m dash, placing fifth with a time of 24.52.
Junior Amanda Deller (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen), who was named the America East Most Outstanding Female Field performer two weeks ago at the conference meet, placed fourth in the shot put on Saturday, with a toss of 14.61m (47'11.25').
Classmate Chowan Brightful (New Market, Md./Linganore) also picked up a top-20 finish at the regional meet, tying for 18th in the high jump with a leap of 1.64m (5'4.5").
Down the road at Boston University, freshman Malte Bertram (Einbeck, Germany/Goethschule Gymnasium) sits in tenth after the first day of competition in the heptathlon with 2,682 points. Bertram picked up a fourth place finish in the long jump, leaping 6.5m (21'4").
Sophomore Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) posted a personal-best in the 800m, finishing 20th with a time of 1:52.92, and staying in second place all-time in UMBC's record book.
Senior Josh Hewitson (New Market, Md./Linganore) qualified for tomorrow's final in the 500m, finishing in 1:03.61.
In the weight throw, junior Cameron McDearmon (Owings Mills, Md./Franklin) placed 12th (17.56m, 57'7.5") while sophomore Chris Nash (Parkton, Md./Hereford) took 21st with a toss of 16.84m (55'3").
Both meets continue tomorrow, with finals in the running events, in addition to the conclusion of the heptathlon competitions.

Hilary Duff Shows Off New Haircut in Photosby Thomas Chau | PopCrush
Hilary Duff was recently spotted in Los Angeles sporting her new, shorter haircut!
Yesterday, the 26-year-old former 'Lizzie McGuire' star showed fans that she was chopping off her long, blonde locks in an effort to sport a short bob for the summer.
In an interview with Us Weekly, stylist Marcus Francis revealed that Duff texted him asking for the new hair chop and that she wanted it right away. "We wanted a bigger change for summer and just to feel healthier in general," he revealed.
Duff is keeping busy these days raising two year old son, Luca, and working on a new album. She recently signed a new record deal and revealed that she will be collaborating with Ed Sheeran on a track.

Mid-Season Swaps Explained
The following document is an explanation of the mid-season swap process and contains all the text below.
Information for City/Town Organizations Regarding
BAYS' MIDSEASON TEAM SWAP GUIDELINES– U9 to U14
The BAYS team placement process results in appropriate placements for the vast majority of teams. However, despite the fact that BAYS has a placement system that is heavily based on the judgment, input and evaluation of teams by those who know them best – the town organizations – there are times when a team is significantly misplaced. For those teams, BAYS has a mid-season swap process designed to offer relief to the most seriously misplaced teams.
How Does the Process Work?
BAYS Division Directors monitor the competitive results in their assigned sections. After the third week of competition they begin to review the results to determine if there are any teams that may have been seriously misplaced. If any teams are identified, the Division Director then examines the sections above and below that team's section to determine if there are any obvious swap partners. In most cases, swaps are initiated by BAYS. However, a town organization's President or Travel Director may also contact the Division Director or appropriate BAYS Vice President to request that a team be moved.
Once a team has been identified as a swap candidate, the Division Director will attempt to determine whether a swap is needed or warranted. The Division Director may review competitive play with the Section Captain, discuss the possibility of a move with the team coach and the town's President or Travel Director, and also try to identify a "swap partner." For every team that is moved down, a team must be moved up. A swap cannot be made unless an appropriate swap partner can be found.
Swaps are kept as simple as possible. Most involve two teams swapping sections. On occasion, BAYS may approve a three-team swap. All swaps must be approved by the appropriate BAYS Vice President.
The following BAYS Vice Presidents approve and implement the swaps:
The Second Vice President oversees U12 and above Divisions 1 and 2
The Third Vice President oversees U12 and above Divisions 3 and 4
The Fourth Vice President oversees U9 to U11, all Divisions
When Do Swaps Take Place?
Conceivably, a swap could occur at almost any time during the season. However, the vast majority are scheduled to be effective in week 6 of the playing season.
Are All Teams Eligible to be "Swapped?"
Again, this process is only intended to provide relief for the most seriously misplaced teams. BAYS will not engage in wholesale modifications to team section assignments except under the most extreme circumstances. BAYS rarely moves teams in U12 & U14 Divisions 1 and 2, which are MTOC-eligible sections.
What if I think my Team Needs a Section Change?
If your team is seriously misplaced, you should first contact your town organization's President and/or Travel Director. Swap requests that are initiated by a team will not be recognized unless they are approved and submitted by the town organization. The President and/or Travel Director should then contact your BAYS Division Director to request a swap.
What if BAYS has asked my Team to Swap with Another, but We'd Prefer to Stay in our Current Section?
Teams that are contacted to participate in a swap should carefully consider the request being made. A change in your competitive section may be good for the players, accelerate their growth and increase their enjoyment of the game. It also may allow you to make a better decision about their placement for the next competitive season. BAYS tries to craft swaps where both teams agree to the change. However, while you may certainly indicate that you would rather not make the change, you may not refuse to make the change if your Division Director indicates that it will be made. All section assignments are made by BAYS, and it reserves the right to change a team's section assignment where it believes that the change will enhance competitive play. BAYS' decision in this matter is final.
What Should I do if my Team is Part of a Swap?
First, any games that you were originally scheduled to play prior to the effective date of the swap must be completed even if they have been postponed to a date after the swap's effective date. Generally, this means that your team will complete its games scheduled for weeks 1-5 in its "old" section and will play the week 6-10 schedule in its "new" section. Similarly, games from the team's "old" section that were originally scheduled to be played after the swap effective date but preponed to a date before the effective date (for example, games scheduled for Columbus Day and Memorial Day weekends that you have agreed to prepone so that your team may play in a tournament) are no longer part of your schedule and do not need to be played. Second, you should immediately contact all teams in your new section, confirm your game schedule and provide your contact information, including cell phone numbers and email address. Make sure that your contact information published on the BAYS website is correct. You should let your new opponents know how field closures are decided and communicated in your town. Third, confirm your new schedule with your town organization and confirm that you'll have the field and referee assignments that you need.
We've Been Asked to Participate in a Spring Season Swap, but my Team is Leading its Section. Will the Team Still Receive End-of-Season Awards?
Awards are only given to section-winning teams during the spring season – none are given during the fall. If your team is asked to move during the spring and on the effective date of the swap it is leading its original section, the team will still receive the awards (tee shirts or trophies) that it would have received had it remained in and won its original section. Contact the Division Director of your original section by June 1 to confirm arrangements for the shipment of your team's awards.
If We've Won or Lost All of Our Games, Does That Mean That We'll be Moved?
Winning or losing your first five games, or having a very positive or negative goal differential, alone, is not enough to make your team a swap candidate. Division Directors recognize that swaps are disruptive and will take all factors into consideration before suggesting that a team be moved. The swap process is not intended to benefit teams looking to fine tune their section assignments. It's designed to provide relief for completely overwhelmed teams and to move those select teams that are completely overwhelming everyone else in their section.
When is a Team Swap "Official?"
Swaps are "official" when the updates/swaps are reflected on the BAYS website. Contact your Division Director if you have been informed that the swap has been approved but it is not shown on the BAYS website.
How Will I Receive Notice that the Swap has been Approved?
Generally, swap approvals are communicated to the involved coaches, club officers and other Division Directors by the Division Director who is most directly involved in the swap. Once the appropriate BAYS Vice President approves the swap request, notice should be sent by the BAYS website to the impacted coaches, their Section Captains and their town field and referee assignors. If in doubt, contact the Division Directors for your old and new sections.

A specially commissioned multi-media art work by Emmy Award-winning journalist, photographer, and artist Jay Schadler
A Little More began with a photograph of The Little's iconic sign by local photographer Jeffrey Mills (www.jeffreymillsphotography.com). The image was then printed on watercolor paper, allowing Schadler to work chalk pastel into the piece. The picture was then re-photographed and deeply saturated with various software techniques. Eventually-using computer brushes-Schadler "digs" back into the original photograph to bring back specific details. All of this gives the picture a multi-layered feel, enhancing the "retro" look so representative of The Little.
Jay Schadler is a two-time Emmy Award winning journalist, photographer and artist. Schadler has been a correspondent and anchor for ABC News for 28 years, reporting for all major platforms including 20/20, PrimeTime, Good Morning America, World News and Nightline. In addition he has contributed special reports to National Geographic TV, Discovery, Bravo and PBS. For more about Schadler and to view his online gallery: www.jayschadler.com.
There are only a limited number of these original prints available for only $150!
Once we recieve your order, a Receptionist will call you to let you know when you can pick up your print. Unfortuantely, shipping is not offered with this purchase.

Velco holds the sides of the tonneau cover to the truck bed and allows for one person opening and closing. To open, just release the tension lock underneath by opening the tailgate and roll it back toward the cab. To close, release the clips, roll it back, latch the lock mechanism underneath, which bonds the velco sides.
We offer a variety different brands of rollup tonneau covers. The Truxedo Deuce has a unique feature that allows the front hinged section to fold back for access to cargo behind the cab or it can completely roll up for full bed access.
Refer to the detailed tonneau covers pages for warranty terms, but most are lifetime. The UV resistant fabric tarp will stay flat and taunt for years to come.

NASCAR Images Caught In The "HD Crunch"
Back on November 13th, we talked about the on-going problems this season with several TV series being produced by NASCAR Images.
This company is the official TV production arm of NASCAR, and produces a wide range of shows from Survival of the Fastest on SPEED to Chasing Glory on ESPN2. They also produce the NASCAR programming from the SPEED Stage, including NASCAR RaceDay.
The column, which is linked here, summed-up the issues raised by the NASCAR fans who could not believe that "officially produced" programs from NASCAR were not exactly being truthful when it came to what viewers were seeing.
At issue were not the live shows, or the high-profile projects like the movie "Dale." Fans were angry about what is called "quick turn-a-round" shows. These series are shot on location, and then assembled into programs back at the NASCAR Images headquarters in Charlotte.
This type of series is called "post-produced," and the pressure is on the editors and producers to meet network deadlines for delivery of these episodes. Therein lies the problem.
Even before this company was called NASCAR Images, it specialized in producing weekly shows about the sport. Some older fans may recognize the name Sunbelt Video when Inside Winston Cup Racing was the big weekly show hosted by Ned Jarrett. Alongside of Ned was his young field reporter. His name was Bill Weber.
When The Daly Planet approached those connected with both Chasing Glory and Survival of the Fastest, it was clear that some "issues" had already been discovered by the NASCAR Images management team.
Basically, several editors and producers faced a couple of situations, and made the wrong decision. Both of these series have their new footage shot with film, but require a lot of older footage edited into the programs from other sources. Add in the fact that the TV networks require programs to be in High Definition, and problems pop-up pretty quickly. The bottom line is, the pieces don't fit.
You can't take older video and "make it" into HD. As the transition to this new TV format comes around, lots of producers find themselves having a tough time with the lack of older HD footage. What this means for NASCAR Images is that they have the current footage and sound all ready to go, but still have one little problem.
They need to "fill-in" the parts of the show that are not completely current with what is called "B-roll." That is the older footage used for reference in a show. The problem NASCAR Images ran into is that most of it is not in HD, and the networks will not accept it. That leaves only two choices.
First, shoot new footage to try and bridge the gaps. Second, take some old footage that is in HD and use it, hoping no one will know it is not "exactly" the right thing. Needless to say, the reason we are writing this story is because NASCAR Images made the wrong choice.
What they chose to do was take footage of the same team, or the same driver, or the same track and pretend that is was the day or week that they needed it to be for their story. They purposefully "mis-labeled" NASCAR footage.
In the year of the COT, it seems only fitting that the NASCAR Images producers were also handcuffed by the same thing making the teams crazy. With all the COT testing going on at "non-NASCAR" tracks, the availability of the drivers was at an all time low. Add in "The Chase" format, and the fact that no driver wanted cameras following him as he rose or fell in the ten race stretch.
The NASCAR Images mess only gets bigger when you consider they are waiting on their new offices and production facility to be built as a part of the NASCAR Hall of Fame complex in Charlotte. In the meantime, over one hundred production folks are jammed into a rented office and production facilities next to the highway that was originally intended for about forty.
Needless to say, they run the editing suites and the facilities three shifts a day to turn-out the volume of TV programs, corporate videos, and pre-production for the SPEED shows that has to be done each week. If you are a regular reader of The Daly Planet, you are familiar with the "ten pounds of TV in a five pound bag" theory. This certainly fits that bill.
Unfortunately, even with all this chaos going-on there is no excuse for trying to deceive NASCAR fans with announcer audio and added graphics put over top of footage that was months or even years old. Company policy at NASCAR Images should be put in place to end this practice by individual producers right now.
This issue has upset fans, teams, and even some drivers. Not a good idea to be shown on national TV with a "girlfriend" you no longer have happily having fun at the pool. It certainly is true that these types of production decisions in any TV setting can have consequences much further reaching than any editor or producer could imagine at the time.
NASCAR Images told The Daly Planet enough to let us know they are dealing with the staff members involved. ESPN and SPEED both had no comment. As usual, the mainstream NASCAR media was to busy with other "urgent issues" to even recognize this problem existed. I really don't think too many of them watch the NASCAR TV programs anyway.
Hopefully, our discussion of this topic in a public forum can push things along for next season. Several of the key NASCAR Images folks came to that company from NFL Films, as you can tell by the style of program they produce. Somehow, I just can't believe that Steve Sabol and company would have allowed even one second of mis-labeled footage to walk out of the door and onto the air.
With many TV viewers now questioning the integrity of NASCAR Images as a result of these incidents, the management team in Charlotte needs to use 2008 to re-build the company's relationship with the NASCAR fans.

Great story, great explanation, and great detective work. I'm sure NASCAR Images also appreciates your effort to be balanced in your story and not attack them, though you firmly point out this policy needs to be changed ASAP.
As a viewer who enjoys these programs: Thank you.

AHHH, But JD we are the NA$CAR fans, we roll over and play dead, so that the networks can feed us all the bs they can generate, and we are expected to accept all of the above as "gospel". Well from this die-hard NA$CAR fan, ESPN has lost me forever, and I'm not too sure about the rest of the ":networks" at this time. A NA$CAR fan since 1966...

JD-thanks for getting us answers on this problem. Glad to know that this was not a company-wide policy change. Hopefully, the quality will be back for the 2008 season.

That is still no excuse for such blatant lying about when these events occurred. I'm sure some of the drivers have complained personally to NASCAR Images because of those parts of their private lives that are no longer applicable.

Never considered HD was part of the reason old stuff was being used, but for me was the issue of trying to pass it off as current was the actual mistake, use it if you need to but identify it correctly. The end result for me is that when I see a Nascar Images piece that does not have a specific point that enables me to date when it was possibly taped and I don't remember seeing it before; I start to wonder how old it is instead of assuming it is new. I basically don't trust them and from what I've read I am not the only one. Hopefully it does not continue next season or their credibility may be lost forever. Thanks for tracking down the problem JD and I'll continue to watch but if it persists I won't go out of my way to find them.

Thanks for following up on this! What a tech-y explanation and very intriguing. I figured it boiled down to budget cuts as some people suggested, not an explanation like HD. Thanks again.

The two evaluations, which are nearing completion, come in the wake of new research indicating that the procedure has more health benefits than previously thought, including reducing the risk for getting the AIDS virus and contracting other sexually transmitted diseases.
Critics, however, are unlikely to be swayed in the emotionally-charged debate, and the battle is likely to rage on regardless of official outcome.
"People care way too much about this little piece of skin," said Mark Alanis of the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, who has written a history of circumcision. "At the end of the day, it's unlikely to significantly change your child's life for better or worse."
That said, does any parent want to feel she's either mutilated her child needlessly - or put him at risk for disease? And that's to say nothing of the religious and cultural implications! There's a lot more going on here than "a little piece of skin."

If you're new to time trialling then a set of clip-on bar extensions is the simplest way to get a more aerodynamic position on the bike. These Ritchey Prologue bars should fit the bill very well: they're a comfortable, adjustable system that won't break the bank, and aside from the extra weight that they carry they perform as well as other more expensive options. They also offer a useful extra position on training rides if you don't want to keep fitting and re-fitting them.
Fitting is straightforward, requires very little bar space (the clamp sits right next to the stem and is about 1cm wide; there's a shim for standard bars) and there's a wide range of variables that should allow you to find a comfortable position. The extensions sit below the bar with the armrests on top and the extension length can be changed, as can the armrest width (though I would have liked them a bit closer together than is possible) and angle. You can also rotate the extensions so the upturned end sections are pointing in or out; as you can see from the pic I'm more comfortable with them facing in. The fittings are good quality with only the bolts holding the armrests to the clamp giving me any trouble: I found them quite easy to round off and they need a bit of care.
Once everything is done up nice and tight they feel sturdy. The armrest pads are well shaped to hold your arm and the padding is nice and deep meaning that road irregularities don't throw you off your stride. I've ridden short ten-milers on the Prologues and also spent a three-hour training ride almost exclusively on the extensions to see if they'd beat up my arms over a longer ride but they were extremely comfortable, so much so that I'd consider having them on the bike full time to give myself an extra position; the only downside of doing this is that the armrests don't fold up, meaning you can still ride on the hoods but not the tops.
at 640g the Ritchey Prologues aren't the lightest option out there but as an introduction to time trialling they're good value and will certainly last until you start looking lustfully at disc wheels and teardrop helmets. Getting aero is the single biggest thing you can do to improve your performance in the race against time, and the Prologues score very well for comfort, adjustability and build quality.

The California Department of Water Resources protects, conserves, develops, and manages California's water resources. The department collects data on water supplies and water demands to develop plans to help meet the state's water needs. Operating and maintaining the State Water Project is also a departmental responsibility.
The department is mandated to consider all water management alternatives from a balanced statewide, regional, and local perspective and to operate a statewide flood forecasting, warning, and monitoring system to provide flood control workers in emergencies. And finally, it monitors the construction of dams and supervises the safety of the construction and operation of dams.

One of our recent forays was a "Bacon Party", which really was just an excuse to give our "Book Club" that never has a book nor discusses it, some meaning again. There were bacon-wrapped jalapeños, bacon chocolate chip-peanut butter cookies, piles of candied bacon, bacon vodkas, and a whole other slew of things I can't remember. Honestly, I couldn't even eat that much and I am still way overloaded by the thought of bacon - a perfect cure for cravings.
With the help of a few great websites (thanks Barb!) and a local game/hunting store (where I found my curing salts, go figure) I was able to cure my own bacon painlessly and quickly. I tried three types and brought them to the party with a vegetarian accompaniment on the side: a plain maple-brown sugar (candied and served with fresh, hot Beignets*), a Maple Bourbon (served with a cranberry, pie spiced sour cream dip), and a Jalapeño Tequila (served with a fresh guacamole). It was a smash and the Jalapeño Tequila was the first to go - the guys loved the subtle but building heat. Thankfully, we have plenty more dried jalapeño left from last year's garden. Christmas presents, anyone?
*Note: I make these beignets with butter instead of shortening with great success. They are divine!
While we were at the Bacon Party I passed along a gift to a dear friend who I so respect and have been continually inspired by, Erica. Erica is smart, grounded, and graciously humble - someday, maybe soon, she'll be a hands-in-the dirt farmer on her own property but for now she teaches others how to love and steward the beautiful world around us. I knew Erica's birthday was coming and I wanted to give her something that wasn't wasteful, that respected resources and encouraged her to love what she already has...I choose Wood Butter. Thankfully, it was the right choice, and Erica used it to condition her husband's homemade cutting boards (he's crazy talented).
Wood butter is a super simple, easy to make, cream-like concoction you can put on your wooden cooking utensils to treat, protect, and polish them. Since I make mine with food-grade oils and beeswax you can feel safe using it on spoons, cutting boards and the like. You may have also heard Wood Butter referred to as Spoon Oil and it has been kicking around the internet for a while - I think Wood Butter fits better and I have to admit to some revisions in my recipe. You see, I am very allergic to mineral oil, and most recipes call for mineral oil, so I substitute with olive or grapeseed oils. That said, if you choose to do this you must be diligent to dispose of anything that might smell off or rancid, as a rancid rubbed spoon is difficult to salvage. I also like my Wood Butter a bit more soft and smooth so I use a 5:1 ratio of oil to beeswax instead of a 4:1 ration recommended most places. It is easy enough to make and play around with so have a go at it!
For your gift giving ease I'm making a download of the labels I made for Erica's gift available here. Just print, clip, and in my case I punched a hole and tied on with twine. I prefer the wide-mouth, more shallow jars for this job - like these, not the ones pictures, but almost anything will work and old jam jars would be lovely and repurposed!
A run to the store and a few more eggs to finish the piece and here is the finished product. Total cost? $3.95.
Don't want an egg wreath? That's ok - I have another super fun idea coming your way with a download in the not too distant future! So hold on to those Easter eggs , there will be a any-ol-holiday you want reuse coming down the pipeline.
Hope you are enjoying some of the same glorious weather we've been having. It's hard to get any work done but so lovely! Perhaps you are making some useful re-purposed crafts as well?

Based in Washington, DC, Democracy 21 describes itself as a "nonpartisan" group that seeks to "eliminate the undue influence of big money in American politics and to ensure the integrity and fairness of government decisions and elections." In practice, the organization has restricted citizen participation in the political process by limiting the ways in which constituents can give money to the party or candidate of their choice. Democracy 21 has also helped the network of George Soros-led Shadow Party groups gain immense influence within the Democratic Party.
Democracy 21 regularly produces reports and press releases that it disseminates to the public and the media. These items contain data analysis focusing chiefly on the following issues:
Democracy 21 was founded in 1997 by Fred Wertheimer, who continues to serve as the organization's President and CEO. From 1981 to 1995, Wertheimer was President of Common Cause, an advocacy organization also dedicated to campaign finance reform.
A notable Democracy 21 Board member is Nick Ucci, the Executive Vice President and CFO of People For the American Way. Like Wertheimer, Ucci also worked for Common Cause, where he served as the organization's Senior Vice President for Management and Financial Planning.
Democracy 21 is a member organization of Fair Taxes For All, an anti-tax cut coalition co-chaired by AFSCME, Campaign for America's Future, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the National Women's Law Center, People For the American Way, and USAction. Other member organizations include: ACORN; the American Friends Service Committee; the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities; the Center for Community Change; the Center For Women's Policy Studies; the Children's Defense Fund; Defenders of Wildlife; Democratic Socialists of America; Earthjustice; Friends of the Earth; the League of Women Voters; the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund; MoveOn; the Ms. Foundation for Women; the NAACP; the National Council of La Raza; the National Council for Research on Women; the National Council of Women's Organizations; the National Organization for Women; the National Partnership for Women and Families; the National Urban League; the Older Women's League; Public Citizen; the Service Employees International Union; the Shefa Fund; the Sierra Club; and the Wilderness Society.
Democracy 21 has received heavy funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Joyce Foundation, George Soros' Open Society Institute, and the Pew Charitable Trusts.

IEA is a Brussels-based trade association representing producers of ethanol, produced synthetically or by fermentation of agricultural feedstocks for industrialuse in Europe. It is a not-for-profit organisation and complies strictly with Belgian and European laws.
Other associations represent agricultural ethanol only, particularly for fuel use, i.e. used as a biofuel blending component for use in gasoline (petrol). For further information please see Library and Links.
Current members are:
Note: VDAHV includes:
- Brüggemann Alcohol Heilbronn GmbH
- Kraul & Wilkening u. Stelling
- Berkel AHK
- Cargill Deutschland
- Leiber
- Baltic Distillery GmbH
In line with the importance of ethanol to society, IEA's mission is to:
- Provide accurate and up-to-date information about ethanol for industrial use, and to enter into dialogue with all stakeholders.
- Promote and protect the long-term future of the industry in Europe.
- Ensure fairness in trade and customs to support the above
The Association's purpose is to act as a focused voice for the European industrial ethanol sector, for ethanol produced by both synthetic and agricultural means. It provides a forum for industrial ethanol producers to meet and discuss European and global developments of a legislative and political nature relating to the production, sale, import-export, development and use of ethanol.
It provides its members with logistical support for the purpose of taking appropriate political action in defence of industrial ethanol at European and world levels, to ensure that relevant legislative developments take account of the need to maintain fair market conditions within the EU.
It aims to ensure that the industry using ethanol for industrial purposes is governed by suitable and fair standards in terms of health and the environment, trade, customs, competition, and state aid.
It provides a platform for sharing specific information about industrial ethanol and promotes dialogue with all interested parties.

Parents of 15-year-old model sue over sexually provocative image: but no objections to other sexualised pics
"If underage models continue to appear in these kinds of photoshoots, it is solely because adults have enabled them"
Parents of teen model Hailey Clauson are taken legal action against U.S. fashion label Urban Outfitters, along with photographer Jason Lee Parry, over a t-shirt featuring Hailey sitting "spread eagle" on a motorbike. Hailey was 15 when the shots were taken and according to her parents, permission was not given for use of the images. The Clauson's are asking for $28 million.
There is no doubt that, as the parents claim, Jason Lee Parry's photo makes "her crotch area the focal point of the image." In court documents they say Parry agreed not to release the images after Hailey's agent complained and that this agreement has been broken.
The agent accused Parry of working with L.A. boutique 'Blood Is The New Black' to sell t-shirts featuring the young model's image. That 'Blood Is The New Black' would leap at the opportunity to flog t-shirts with sexualised imagery is no surprise, given its history. Tees featuring images of women naked, bound and gagged here were also brought to you with comps from the same brand, stocked by Roger David.
But Parry claims Hailey's father was present at the shoot and Okay'd the pics.
A few things don't add up, as examined by Patty Huntington at Frockwriter.
Patty Huntington has located other sexualised images of the girl, including another spread-eagled photo taken when she was even younger – 14 – and published in 2009. She asks: "If Clauson's parents don't like their daughter posing in sexually suggestive' positions, then why have they allowed her to do so, over and over again, for two years?"
And why send her to do shoots with a photographer known for his provocative styling? Hailey is underage, she is not able to exercise informed consent. Someone is exercising it on her behalf. Surely the safest course of action would be not to allow such images to be shot in the first place? Once taken, it is too easy to lose control over where they end up, as we see over and over.
Huntington perfectly sums it up:
If underage models continue to appear in these kinds of photoshoots, it is solely because adults have enabled them. The buck stops with them. Not just photographers, stylists and editors but model agents and yes, parents.
Here are some brief comments I made on the issue on Channel 7 Sunrise yesterday.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
A team of first- and second-grade teachers at Lusher Alternative Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana, plans a year-end project that lets students show what they have learned in science, math, English, and the arts. Their classes work together to create an original, multi-arts performance based on works of art with similar themes: The Entry of the Animals Into Noahs Ark, a painting by Jan Brueghel, and The Flood, an opera by Igor Stravinsky.
Teachers Geralyn Broussard, Megan Neelis, and Paul Reynaud meet with principal Kathleen Hurstell Riedlinger to discuss what children will need to know to complete the project. They also organize each teachers responsibilities and discuss how the planned activities are geared to state standards.
In their classrooms, the teachers use arts-based methods to bring the project to life.
Members of the instructional team reflect on how the arts enhance instruction.
The arts let you learn through so many different modalities, says Broussard. It becomes so much more tangible and real to them that its almost a painless learning experience.
