General Information
Degrees and Areas of Concentration
The School of Social Work offers courses leading to a bachelor of social work (B.S.W.), a master of social work (M.S.W.), and a minor in social work. The B.S.W. and the M.S.W. programs are fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. The programs stress the critical, empirical, and applied aspects of social work, incorporating a liberal arts perspective throughout the curriculum. There is a strong accent on community and agency field work as an integral part of the program. Professional social work education enables students to integrate the knowledge, values, and skills of the profession into competent practice.
Students must apply for admission into the B.S.W. and the M.S.W. programs. Undergraduate social work majors and Master's students should obtain a copy of the Student Handbook (available on the social work department's web page). BSW students must meet with a social work adviser for advisement each semester. Students in the B.S.W. or the M.S.W. program must set up an appointment with the practicum office one semester prior to enrolling in the practicum and attend a series of pre-practicum orientation sessions.

The waiver does not provide graduate credit; it is a mechanism for allowing elective courses to be substituted for required foundation courses.
Academic credit cannot be given for life experience and previous work experience, in whole or in part, in lieu of field practicum or foundation year courses.
Degree Requirements
The M.S.W. is a two-year program comprising a foundation year and a concentration year. All students are required to take the foundation year courses. These provide a common base of knowledge across all practice settings and populations. Beyond the general requirements of the Graduate School, the department requires a minimum of 60 semester hours of course work, of which 45 must be at the 4000 or 5000 level and 45 must be in social work or crosslisted with social work, including the following foundation courses:

A student must receive a grade of B or better in the first-year field practicum course in order to be eligible to enter the second year field practicum. S/U grades are given for the concentration practicum.
Part Time Status
Students who enter the program as part-time students complete the foundation year in two years and the concentration course work in an additional two years. All students must complete the M.S.W. in four years.
Career Outlook
The bachelor of social work program prepares persons for entry-level employment in social welfare agencies, schools, hospitals, correctional institutions, social action and community organizations, and day care, geriatric, or rehabilitation and residential centers. The master of social work program prepares professionals for advanced social work practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Individuals currently working in social welfare can develop skills and increase employment and job advancement opportunities with the B.S.W. and M.S.W. degrees.

With a healthy lineup at his disposal for only the third time all season, Baldwin boys' soccer coach Mike Palumbo made a tweak that helped turn the page on a frustrating opening half that saw the Bruins drop four of six games.
Though he provided an offensive spark, senior Peter Rafferty returned to the defensive side of the field Oct. 2 against visiting East Meadow. He switched spots with senior Malik White and still managed to score on a penalty kick in Baldwin's 4-1 victory. Rafferty's goal followed a hat trick by Isaiah Welsh, who scored off assists from Alex Baez, Jack Thibault and Pascal Bastien.
"This was a game we had to get," Palumbo said. "It was a tough September. We've been destroyed by injuries and we're better than our record shows. Now we've got everyone back and we still have time to move up the standings and get into fourth."
The top four finishers in the seven-team Conference AA-II will qualify for the playoffs. Farmingdale and Plainview-JFK, which sit first and second, respectively, defeated Baldwin by identical 1-0 scores. After grounding the Jets for their second win in three games, the Bruins were two points out of fourth with a record of 2-4-1.
"I'm proud of how we played against Farmingdale," Palumbo said. "We started moving forward and followed with a win over Valley Stream Central. We always seem to have a hard time with Hicksville, but beating East Meadow puts on back on track."
One of the biggest keys to the lineup, Palumbo said, is the return of sophomore Alessandro Garcia (broken toe) to center-midfield. His presence allowed the coach to switch from a traditional 4-4-2 alignment to a 4-3-3. "He has all the tools and connects our defense to the offense," Palumbo said. "He can control the middle and distribute."
Rafferty, who has five goals in seven games, is also prone to making runs from defense into the attack zone. "Peter's most comfortable on defense, and he has the green light to push the ball," Palumbo said. "He can really strike the ball, so he was also a good fit at forward. Hopefully he can stay healthy all season. He's a big piece of the puzzle."
Baez, Jeremy Hui, and Carlos Padilla are playing stifling defense, Palumbo said, and junior goalkeeper Jake Sable has made the most of his opportunity. Baez, a senior, usually draws the toughest defensive assignment but against East Meadow it was Hui who held Jets standout forward Billy Walsh in check.
Baldwin's offensive front can still be dangerous without Rafferty doing full-time work. White's blazing speed led to a pair of golden scoring opportunities against East Meadow, including one shot that clanged off the post. "Malik can run past anybody on through balls," Palumbo said. "If we need to, we can always drop him back on defense to give Peter or one of the other guys a breather."
The Bruins travel to Port Washington on Oct. 10 at 4:30 p.m.

The Foxwoods proposal is indeed impressive and could be a game-changer for Fall River, but Fall River must not allow itself to be blinded by this big, shiny proposal; there is much to scrutinize. Let's proceed with caution.
The plan outlined on Tuesday by Fall River Mayor Will Flanagan and officials from Foxwoods Resort Casino for a destination casino in the city has met with both cheers and trepidation around Greater Fall River.
Of course, this isn't Fall River's first time grappling with gambling. A previous proposal, unveiled in Flanagan's first term, fell apart because casino gambling had not been legalized in Massachusetts and the necessary questions had not been answered — significantly, if the casino site proposed for what is now the biopark, was appropriate and legal. After a legal challenge, by the "10 taxpayers" group, a judge ruled that it was not legal, effectively ending Flanagan's first casino quest.
This time around, Flanagan claims to have learned the lessons from his first try at the table — and he's demonstrated that in his initial steps by naming a casino site selection committee of community business and education leaders to locate a site that could house a resort casino with a 140,000-square-foot gambling floor, approximately 20 restaurants, a 350-room hotel, a "name-brand" shopping mall, an entertainment arena, a convention center and a spa.
When it comes to a controversial proposal like this, community buy-in is of utmost importance, not only because it must go to a vote, but because there remain significant concerns surrounding casino gambling and its potential impacts on communities. Voters in Milford rejected a similar proposal by Foxwoods recently.
Granted, the proposal for Fall River is not as large as the Milford proposal, and Milford's economic picture is different than Fall River's. But while everyone understands the need for large-scale economic development and jobs in Fall River, it's still unclear if the casino plan — while impressive — is the best route to take. It is, after all, still a gamble, and all the cards are not yet on the table.
Flanagan said that he wants to create a blueprint for how a community should go about siting a casino. Toward that end, he indicated that the casino agreement for Fall River should include job preferences for Fall River residents, as well as giving preference to local vendors for the complex. That could alleviate some of the concern about the casino diverting money from existing businesses.
Foxwoods itself has a solid track record with its world-class casino in Connecticut, which many local residents have seen for themselves. "Part of what we're doing is to design something that this community can be extremely proud of," Foxwoods CEO Scott Butera said. "Yes, we want to create jobs. Yes, we want to make money. But we also want to create something that when someone opens up their travel guide they say, 'Hey, Fall River, Mass. We gotta go see this place.' That's what we're talking about. We do everything at a five-star and six-star level. Anything else is unacceptable."
For Fall River, the city's potential for significant revenue from the casino, through a host community agreement, could be in "the tens of millions of dollars," according to Flanagan.
The Foxwoods proposal is indeed impressive and could be a game-changer for Fall River, but Fall River must not allow itself to be blinded by this big, shiny proposal; there is much to scrutinize. Let's proceed with caution.
If Flanagan wants to develop a blueprint for how a community should go about siting a casino, he must draw slowly and deliberatively, and include the community in every step before going all in.

Gravity Guy Review
In the grim darkness of the future, men and women are persecuted for…breaking the laws of gravity. Oh man. Somebody get George Orwell on the phone; this is heavy.
Gravity Guy is about a guy who is jailed for going against the will of gravity. He has escaped, and must outrun and out-flip his captors. To us ground-dwelling mortals, it seems pointless to go after someone who effs with gravity, as gravity is pretty much its own judge, jury, and executioner. But Gravity Guy lives in a world where down is up, up is down, and those who don't want to keep two feet on the ground at all times must run, run, run.
The game works a bit like a cross between Sonic the Hedgehog and the gravity-flipping stages from the Super Mario Galaxy games. Gravity Guy is constantly running at varying speeds. Your job is to flip him on and off the ceiling in order to dodge obstacles, and to keep him from flying into oblivion. If you're too slow, Gravity Guy gets zapped by the robo-police.
Running a topsy turvy world.
That's all there really is to the adventure. It's unbelievably simple to jump into, and the pace is guaranteed to make your heart quicken. Even the levels are delightfully streamlined: When you pass through one of the green barriers that marks a goal, your score is tallied– but that doesn't mean you're allowed to stop running. Go, go, go! For the good of the city!
Gravity Guy is a fun nail-biter of a game with lovely vector visuals. But it can only be endured in small mouthfuls. Each level registers as a mere speck on the overall city landscape; on average, they take about five to ten seconds to clear. Problem is, you often end up spending a half-hour or better trying to perfect that little ten-second run. There's no room for mistakes on Gravity Guy's run; you either get it right the first time, or you're sent back to the start of a level to try again.
It's electric.
Being forced back to the beginning of a level over and over again is not fun, regardless of how small that level actually is. That's not even taking into account some of the nasty tricks Gravity Guy throws at you: Dead ends that trap you, roads that drop into oblivion unless you've memorized the exact path you need to take, and more.
The game features a practice mode to help you get your bearings, but given that you're allowed to try a level as many times as you like without penalty, it's a bit pointless. However, the multiplayer function, which allows four local players to run at once, is intriguing, though a bit crowded.
If you adore your twitch games, Gravity Guy will stretch your hand-eye coordination to its very limits. If you prefer slower-paced games, Gravity Guy is your worst nightmare. The average player could do far worse than spend small portions of time with the game, though. When things get too frustrating, hang back and try again in an hour. Sometimes freedom must come slowly to those who run.

Docky is included in the official Ubuntu repositories starting in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). To install Docky on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) or later:
sudo apt-get install docky
There are two official Docky PPAs. One with our bleeding edge version built from Docky trunk and one including the latest build of the current Docky stable branch.
The Docky Stable PPA is https://launchpad.net/~docky-core/+archive/stable . Use this PPA for the current, stable version of Docky.
To use the Docky Stable PPA, for Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) and later:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:docky-core/stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install docky
The Docky Development PPA is https://launchpad.net/~docky-core/+archive/ppa and typically lags behind the source by about a day. Use this PPA for the most current, updated version of Docky.
To use the Docky Development PPA, for Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) and later:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:docky-core/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install docky
To update Docky, if you installed Docky as a package from either the official repositories or one of our PPAs, run:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
Docky is now included in the Fedora 14 standard repository. To install Docky on Fedora 14 run:
su -c 'yum install docky'
Docky is available as an Arch community package. To install (as root):
pacman -S docky
Docky is available in Entropy. To install (as root):
equo install docky
Building Docky from the latest source currently requires the following development libraries:
* bzr (>= 0.92) * dbus-sharp-1.0 * dbus-sharp-glib-1.0 * gconf-2.0 * gconf-sharp-2.0 * gconftool-2 * gdk-2.0 * gdk-x11-2.0 * gio-sharp-2.0 * glib-2.0 * glib-sharp-2.0 * gobject-2.0 * gtk+-2.0 * gtk-sharp-2.0 * gnome-desktop-sharp-2.0 * gnome-keyring-sharp-1.0 * mono-addins, mono-addins-gui, mono-addins-setup * mono-cairo * notify-sharp * libtool * mono-gmcs * rsvg-sharp-2.0 * wnck-sharp-1.0
There may be other dependencies not listed here. If there are, autogen.sh should complain about them (feel free to add these to the list!). Building from bzr also requires autotools & intltool.
Ubuntu, Debian and derived systems are fully supported by Docky.
For Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) and higher:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:docky-core/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install bzr libgio2.0-cil-dev sudo apt-get build-dep docky
For Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala):
sudo apt-get update sudo aptitude install automake bzr mono-gmcs libmono-cairo2.0-cil gtk-sharp2 \ libdbus-glib1.0-cil-dev libdbus1.0-cil-dev libgtk2.0-dev libnotify0.4-cil \ libgio2.0-cil-dev libtool intltool ca-certificates gnome-desktop-sharp2 \ libgconf2-dev monodevelop-nunit
gio-sharp (libgio2.0-cil, libgio2.0-cil-dev), dbus-sharp and dbus-sharp-glib (libdbus-glib1.0-cil-dev libdbus1.0-cil-dev) are included in our PPA for Karmic, Lucid and Maverick.
OpenSUSE is fully supported by Docky.
The dependencies can be installed with:
zypper in autoconf automake intltool gconf2-devel gio-sharp-devel\ gnome-keyring-sharp-devel mono-devel dbus-sharp-glib-devel glib gtk2-devel
Fedora isn't officially supported by the Docky developers and we do not accept bugs from users using Fedora systems. The reason is that Fedora isn't following freedesktop.org standards in areas that Docky needs and they have sub-par support for Mono.
The dependencies can be installed with:
su -c 'yum install mono-devel bzr bazaar automake intltool gcc\ GConf2-devel gtk-sharp2-devel gnome-desktop-sharp-devel \ gnome-keyring-sharp-devel mono-addins-devel dbus-sharp-devel\ dbus--sharp-glib-devel gtk+extra-devel notify-sharp-devel'
Fedora is still missing a packaged version of gio-sharp-2. So you would need to build it from source and install it!
There is an ebuild for docky-2.0.1 provided in the gnome-extra overlay. For docky-9999 to install the latest revision from trunk - there is an ebuild in gentoo-china overlay. Docky-9999 depnds on gio-sharp-2 which is not provided directly by any overlay yet. It only exists in the dev-zero overlay's git repo as an attachment. Installation:
Docky 2.0.1:
layman -a gnome-extra
emerge docky
Docky from bazar:
Get the gio-sharp ebuild. Add it to a custom overlay and merge it. For more information on custom overlays please follow the Gentoo documentation.
Add gentoo-china overlay and emerge docky-9999
layman -a gentoo-china emerge =gnome-extra/docky-9999
Once all the dependencies are installed, the Docky source can be branched by:
bzr branch lp:docky
and then built and installed system wide by:
cd docky ./autogen.sh make sudo make install
Or to install into the home directory of the current user:
cd docky ./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/.local make make install
The Docky binary will then end up at ~/.local/bin/docky
If you followed the directions above to install from source, run:
bzr pull
in the Docky source directory. Then to recompile and install the updated version, run:
sudo make uninstall ./autogen.sh make sudo make install

|Statement by Ms. Liu Ying of the Chinese Delegation at the Thematic Debate on Information and Cyber Security at the First Committee of the 68th Session of the UNGA
Mr. Chairman,
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) develop rapidly, which heralds an information era of "big data" and benefits people's life. In the meantime, the characteristics of cyberspace such as virtuality, transnationality and anonymity bring about severe challenges to information security. Cyber crime and cyber terrorism pose grave threats to the healthy functioning of a country's social and economic development. Some countries take advantage of its ICT and resources as a new tool to fulfill their political purposes and interfere in other countries' internal affairs. Some countries keep others from participating in the equitable distribution of information resources and enjoying the digital dividends by monopolizing critical information resources. Some countries are developing cyber military capabilities and threatening others with preemptive strikes, turning the information space into a new battlefield. Some negative incidents exposed recently indicate that many countries' data security and personal privacy were compromised and caused widespread concern of the international community.
Mr. Chairman,
Countries coexist with common interests and share weal and woe in information space. Cold War mentality and zero sum game theory is neither feasible nor tenable in information space, seeking win-win ends through cooperation is the right approach. To ensure one's own security, a country should respect and accommodate the security of other countries, and meet its demand for security through ensuring the security of the whole international community. Only by doing so can we build a peaceful, secure, open and cooperative information space.
Firstly, we should promote the concept of common security with peaceful development. To ensure a country's security by developing its cyber military capabilities and seeking military advantage is not only untenable, but is triggering arms race and increasing the possibility of conflicts in information space, which is against the common interests of the international community. China believes that countries should comply with the UN Charter and the basic principles governing international relations, not to use force or threaten to use force in information space, and settle disputes through peaceful means.
Secondly, we should adhere to the principle of balance between freedom and law. Information space is no "global domain". Countries should enjoy state sovereignty in information space. The governments are entitled to managing its network-related activities and have the jurisdiction over its information infrastructures within its territory. Under such premises, we should protect the freedom for all in information space. Countries shouldn't use ICTs to interfere in other countries' internal affairs and undermine other countries' political, economic, and social stability as well as cultural environment. Countries should not take advantage of its dominant position in information space to undermine other countries' right of independent control of ICT products and services.
Thirdly, we should promote the establishment of an equitable and democratic governance of the Internet. The Internet is integrated deeply into the development of all countries. It is the common wish of the international community to enjoy sharing of resources, shouldering of responsibility and cooperative governance of the Internet. Each country should have equitable participation in the distribution of resources, play an equal role in the elaboration of international norms and orders in information space and make joint efforts to address the common cyber security challenges, with a view to building a multilateral, democratic and transparent international governance of the Internet.
Fourthly, we should facilitate the cooperation that benefits all in information space. Informatization becomes an important engine in fostering economic development. Enjoying digital dividends is the new requirement of the UN Millennium Development Goal. All sides should bolster bilateral, regional and international cooperation and provide digital assistance to developing countries.
China believes that, in this context, the following measures should be taken to jointly realize a peaceful, secure, open and cooperative information space:
Firstly, develop a set of universal and effective international norms and rules governing activities in information space. China, together with Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, submitted to the UNGA "International Code of Conduct for Information Security" as early as in 2011. We welcome the co-sponsoring of the document by Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan this year. We are updating and improving the document based on the comments and suggestions of other countries. China is ready for dialogues with other countries on the code of conduct for information security with a view to reaching early consensus.
Secondly, make full use of the UN GGE on information security as an important platform to deepen mutual understanding and explore the international norms and rules. China welcomed last June's GGE report, which identified the principles of state sovereignty in information space and peaceful use of ICTs. China supports UN to continue to establish GGE and will participate constructively in its future work. We hope that the new GGE can achieve new consensus and make new achievements built upon the outcomes made in the previous sessions of GGE.
Thirdly, give full play to the leading role of the governments. As the main body to participate in the national administration and international cooperation, governments should play a dominant role in the area of information and cyber security. On the domestic level, Governments should lead all stakeholders, including private sectors, in addressing the network challenges and strengthen the legislation and institutional capacity building. At the international level, all sides should conduct cooperation in preventing and combating of cyber crime and cyber terrorism, protection of critical information infrastructure, as well as the maintenance of stable and secure functioning of information and communication system.
Mr. Chairman,
China firmly safeguards the information and cyber security. Over the years, China has made unremitting efforts in strengthening its own information and cyber security, protecting the civilian privacy and data security in accordance with its criminal law and other related laws or regulations, formulating orders in cyber space on the basis of law and purifying the cyber environment. China has supported the UN to play a leading role in the context of international security,by constructively participating in the UN GGE on information security, contributing to the adoption of the resolution "strengthening international cooperation to combat cybercrime" in the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, and supporting the positive efforts made by the International Telecommunication Union(ITU) to promote the equitable governance of the Internet. China, together with the UN Regional Center for Peace and Disarmament in Asia and the Pacific, is planning to hold an international seminar on cyber issues, with a view to facilitating communications and mutual trust between countries. Besides, China has actively taken part in the information security cooperation through the regional cooperative framework, such as the BRICS, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and etc. In 2009, the SCO reached on the Agreement of between the Governments of Member States of the Shanghai Organization on cooperation in the field of provision of the international information security, which provides a framework document for exchange and cooperation between its member states. Last September, the ARF workshop on measures to enhance cyber security, co-hosted by China and Malaysia made positive achievements. China has also launched bilateral dialogues and consultations with US, Russia, Germany, France and European Union on cyber issues, which deepened mutual understanding and consensus in this field.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Nokia's 'Silver Bullet' phone leaked online
Transparent OLED, self-raising keyboard...
Nokia may have designed a futuristic handset on a par with Motorola's wacky Aura or any number of Vertu's pricy phones, according to what's claimed to be a leaked internal video.
Can't see the video? Download Flash Player from Adobe.com
A CGI video mock-up of the phone – thought to be called Erdos – has been leaked online. The device's looks have already led many to speculate that Nokia has selected the handset as a replacement for its existing 8800 device.
For example, Erdos features the same pull down keyboard cover as the one found on the 8800. However, do this on Erdos and you will be met by a "revolutionary raising keyboard", the video states.
Erdos' screen 'appears' on the phone's silver surface – just above the keyboard. The video refers to this feature as a "Go-silver OLED display".
Quite how this works isn't yet clear. One explanation is that the silver surface above Erdos' display can transform into a transparent state, revealing the OLED screen underneath.
Team this up with "tap-sensitive controls" and a rear-mounted 5Mp camera, and Nokia may have designed itself a sure-fire seller to WAGs, bankers and company executives.
Erdos is rumoured to have 8GB of internal memory – yet no expansion slot. The video also shows the phone slotting into what looks like an oddly shaped docking unit with stick-out speaker.
Since Nokia hasn't officially confirmed Erdos' existence yet, a launch date or price isn't known. ®

SEO Judy necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 7 diseños de 1 diseñadores freelance.
I am a website developer & internet marketer developing this site for the client. I am hoping I can get a more exciting design by tapping the collective creativity here than I've been getting from using in-house designers. This is my first 99designs experience & I'm filled with excited anticipation!
I'll say more about the target audience & the site requirements below, but the client is in her 40s, has kids who compete in rodeo, and owns a physical store that sells southwestern jewelry, western jackets, purses, hats & boots, other clothing & home accessories with western flare.
I want to thank you in advance for your time & your creativity!
The target audience is primarily women. Younger women, maybe 25-40, purchase the lower end jewelry, while older women, roughly 40-70, purchase the higher end, one of a kind jewelry and other more expensive items in the store.
This genre of store is called "Western Lifestyle", and probably most of its followers live in the western US, including the southwest. Many may have horses or ranches, and attend rodeos or similar activities. The main target audience is really wealthy, retired women (and their gift-buying husbands).
This is a Magento Commerce website, and needs to incorporate specific elements for that (see details below).
My overall summary for the design is "clean, and looks like an ecommerce site, with gently western & a bit feminine overtones." The client has said "classy western, simple" and also suggested "Turquoise and leather with western scrolls (keep simple)". I don't want to go overboard with such design elements, if you know what I mean. I'm attaching an image of a texas star that I verified with the client is an acceptable example of more modern western scroll, rather than the traditional, older style.
The logo is attached as a jpeg. I couldn't get the original file from the client. The tagline is "Life is too short to wear boring jewelry!"
The client has suggested the use of a western font on the site, but I say that is too much western.
Desired actions on the site are (probably in this order) to buy stuff, sign up for the newsletter, add stuff to your wishlist, or at least bookmark the site.
We generally include images of smiling faces & happy people as they tend to make people comfortable with a site & increase conversions.
As mentioned above, the site will be a Magento ecommerce site. As such there are specific things we need. We have developed a best practices formula for Magento templates, and this is a good example of it, which I will refer to for the rest of this page details section: http://www.mybabybeddingshop.com/.
- logo (you may rearrange the text vs the logo icon)
- tagline ("Life is too short to wear boring jewelry!")
- phone number (575 754 3028) with invitation to call
- small set of credit icons (visa, mc, amex, discover)
- text to the effect of "Order online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!"

and the search box
I'm attaching a word document with the menu hierarchy. We want the top 2 levels of the menu exposed like they are in the example site. The "live support" in the example site is not necessary.
RIGHT COLUMN (see example site)
- mini cart
- "easy ordering" box
- "free shipping for orders over $100" box
- 100% satisfaction guaranteed graphic
- newsletter signup ("Sign up for our newsletter to receive exclusive discounts and notifications of new inventory")
- testimonial box
- No community poll
I have run out of characters so am attaching pagedetails.txt to complete.
The current website is http://thejewelryladyredriver.com/. The current site is badly organized, not ecommerce-friendly, and the design is over-the-top western & hokey to my eye. I hate the "old west" font and the wood grain background for some elements. It's unsophisticated, cheesy.
Gunslinger of Bandera (http://gunslingerofbandera.com - the html version): I love a lot of this website design but it's definitely over the top busy, and their design falls apart when you get to the cart. I love the textures, colors, dimensionality. I love the feminine-western end result. It's too busy, I think, for a real ecommerce site, which you can tell when you click into the "store" part of the site & it just looks terrible.
Crow's Nest (http://www.crowsnesttrading.com) is a very successful competitor in the western lifestyle space. I think this site design is too plain & I hate that pink-ish color that they use, but the feminine font in their logo is worth noting, and the plainness does not compete with the products.
Pinto Ranch (http://pintoranch.com/) is the most "traditional ecommerce" design, with some western overtones, and is probably closest to what we'll do. There's nothing overtly western about it, but you still get the western feel somehow.

Having the equipment in place by this summer may be possible but it is not feasible.
City Councilor Sue Jones was hoping for a fun summer in Garvin Park after the city received word that it has been awarded a $100,000 Kansas Department of Parks and Wildlife grant.
In January of 2012, the city had to remove the playground equipment from the park because it didn't meet state safety guidelines.
The city budgeted money to help fund a new playground in hopes of getting the grant. Now that the grant is in hand, Jones was hopeful that the equipment could be installed in time for summer.
Josh Shaw, Assistant to the City Manager, said he thought that might be too ambitious.
"We have the information for the grant," Shaw said. "We are trying to understand all of the stipulations. Having the equipment in place by this summer may be possible but it is not feasible."
Shaw said the plan included getting community input and working through the city's parks board.
"It would be nice to have an aggressive timeline," Jones said. "I would like to see something in place by next week. We need to put a stake in the ground and work toward it."
New name for club
Since last year's annual report to the city council, the local model train club has made a lot of changes for the better.
The group is now known as the Augusta Model Railroad Club. Despite the change in name and the addition of a website at www.augustamodelrrclub.org and several videos on Youtube.com, the group still meets in the old fire station adjacent to City Hall.
The club has paid its $800 annual rent and cut its utility payments significantly by insulating the east wall of the facility they use.
The club has 19 members and several prospective members.
Spokesperson Gorden MacPhail said the group is open to the public on Thursday nights and they also do tours when people request them.
"You have made a lot of great changes this year," Mayor Kristey Williams said. "I appreciate the name change, too."

See below for a recording of an online seminar and slide deck from RedHat and Correlsense that presents a technical session in order to learn how to gain deep insight and visibility into the performance characteristics of applications hosted on the cloud. In this online seminar, we cover:
OpenShift is Red Hat's open source platform as a service for both public and private clouds. With OpenShift, developers can upload their Java, Ruby, PHP, Perl, Python or Node.js code and leave the configuration, management and scaling headaches behind. Correlsense then makes it easy to identify where the application bottlenecks and tuning opportunities exist with an intuitive dashboard and no touch instrumentation. If you are a developer or system administrator looking to leverage the power of the cloud in either a public, private or hybrid configuration and at the same time gain deep visibility into application performance across multiple tiers in the stack – this webinar is for you.
View the recording or presentation slides below.
Thanks for watching.

Declining Standards at Michigan Universities
Reflecting a national problem, Michigan public universities are producing graduates who are unprepared for K-12 teaching careers and the business world. The demise of the traditional core curriculum, indoctrination in the classroom, and questionable teaching methods that emphasize emotion and subjectivity over rigor and critical thinking are to blame. The study documents extensive evidence cited by employers that college graduates lack crucial communications and thinking skills, and it finds a link between poor training of aspiring teachers and declining K-12 student performance. Analysis of over 300 undergraduate course syllabi reveal the dominance of trendy, politicized course content. 88 pages.
