Happy Pink Saturday, dear Lynn. I am excited about your coming news.
How appropriate that VW would have a home there. And, of course you would never tell us.
I would have had to turn into this store, too. Do tell where it is.

Love that shabby building! Who would've thought that turning letters could buy a house like that? Beautiful.

You know-you could probably re-create those ladies...they look like they are on plywood or something....and you have a picture. You could graph it out and then apply the graph principle to the plywood....just a thought.
I can't wait to hear what your new venture is...but I am guessing it is something to do with antiques or re-sale..that's my best guess.
Glad you have fun...it is always great when you come home and have laughed more than you have eaten...that's the perfect indicator of a wonderful trip! Hugs-Diana

Happy Pink Saturday Lynn Sweetie...
I just knew that you would be popping up with something spectacular from this drive down the coast. Oh my what a beautiful store. I too, think they should have parted with at least one of those gals for your home at the Vintage Nest. She would have been so happy there. Maybe you can get DH to help you make one of your own. You are SO talented sweetie, jump on this one like you do that old tractor of yours. I can see you now.
Vanna? Did you say Vanna? Oh my gosh, what a gorgeous home. I love it, and this is probably as close as I would ever get to it too. It is so elegant and definitely her.
Can't wait to see what else you have to share from this glorious trip, as I know there are many.
Happy Pink Saturday Sweetie. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

LOVE the Pink Lady (building and drink!).....DON'T keep us in suspense too long about your new venture!!
And to think, I spent years going to college....and all I would have had to have done was get a gig as a letter turner on a game show to have all of the money I ever needed! Just one little hitch....I'm not skinny or cute like "V" is!!!
Have a great Pink Saturday!

Yes Lynn, there is a cocktail called Pink Lady, it originated during prohibition. A trip would not seem right without getting lost. Too bad about the pink Lady, they are so cute, what a wonderful old building. Now that is some beach home, one a person can only dream of. Don't worry we will be checking back to see what you are up to. Have a nice week.

I haven't posted anything in a while - and the last thing was just part 1 of my life story (don't expect a sequel any time soon) so here I am.
Today I woke up early-early and thought about going to work right away, but I worked on my type-drawer-project-thing abit first. I like to get some creativity out before I start my day.
I drove to work. Not sure why, but I did. I ended up staying till 7:15 working on my 2008 Goals and Development plan - a bunch of silliness...Hard to believe it's already mid-year.
When I was at work, my cube neighbor, Rebecca, and I went to Target and the tailor. I worked on my latest super exciting project. Normal sort of day.
I stopped at Joanne Etc to get some stuff for my type drawer on the way home (I had 2 50% off coupons - woo!) I also went to the liquor store and for some silly reason, I got Mike's Light Hard Lemonade instead of my usual Smirnoff Ice. It is not good.
Got home, took Bailey potty, got the mail (a catalog I don't want, an issue of Mental Floss, my mortgage statement, and a coupon for Great Clips), and now here I am.
I've been listening to some new Podcasts lately - "The Daily Boost," "The Accidental Creative," "iProcrastinate," and "Stop Procrastinating Now." Nothing too fantastic, but they're interesting enough.
I'm very annoyed with my financial situation. Somebody got my credit card number and everything is messed up. Poop.
I may go see my grandparents in St Francis next weekend. My dad told me that my gramma says I have to. I said I wouldn't go there by myself b/c it'd be awkward. I love my gramma and step-grampa, but I've never been very close/comfortable with them. So, I guess Dad and I are going up there this weekend. Maybe I'll bring Bailey...

Directed by Lee Si-woo-I (이시우)
Screenplay by Lee Si-woo-I (이시우)97min | Release date in South Korea : 2018/08/29
Chinese restaurant owner Tae-hoon (Heo Sung-tae) is attracted to the salon owner Hye-ran (Kim Hae-na).
He's shy about it but he tells his friend Byeong-cheon (Jo Sung-hee-II) everything. Meanwhile, Byeong-cheon is attracted to Mi-joo (Ban Eun-se) who works at Tae-hoon's restaurant.
One day, the four of them get together for a so-called 'work dinner'. On the day of the dinner, Tae-hoon tries to close up quickly and leave but a novelist named Moon-sik (Seol Jae-geun) comes along and pisses him off. Is that a bad sign?
The dinner goes well but only for Byeong-cheon. Hye-ran keeps saying a person who 'holds back' is a good person.
How far can he hide his feelings? The words 'cigarette', 'dinner' and 'Jjajangmyeong' have been roaming around in his head.
Tae-hoon is confused. The dinner is a long one for him and Mi-joo gets drunk on him. The day Tae-hoon expected to be the greatest is not turning out so great.
Meanwhile, Moon-sik's friend Yoon-goo (Jung Han-bin) comes around and talks about Jin-wook (Guk Joong-woong) who is living in Cheong Pyeong with Bo-keong (Jo Young-ji). Will this be a great day for Moon-sik?

Illustrated Talk @ 7:30pm
Fred Watson, Astronomer at the Australian Astronomical Observatory
The announcement last February that gravitational waves had been detected for the first time was greeted with unbridled enthusiasm in the world of physics and astronomy. But it left hosts of ordinary people bemused, and not a little baffled. What are gravitational waves? How were they found? Will we find more? And, above all, why is it so important? Great questions all, and ones that this entertaining and fully-illustrated talk will answer. Join astronomer Fred Watson as he lifts the veil on everything gravitational to reveal why this is one of the most significant discoveries of our time.
Location E7B Mason Theatre
Topic: Gravitational Waves
Fred Watson says he spent so many years working in large telescope domes that he has started to look like one. He has been an astronomer at the Australian Astronomical Observatory since 1995, and his main scientific interest is in the use of novel technology to gather information on very large numbers of stars and galaxies. Until 2009, Fred was based at the AAO's telescopes in Coonabarabran, where he was Astronomer in Charge. He is now the Sydney-based Head of Lighting and Environment, working closely with state and local government and the Coonabarabran community to preserve the dark skies of the observatory.
Fred has adjunct professorships at the University of Western Sydney, University of New South Wales, Macquarie University, the Queensland University of Technology and the University of Southern Queensland.
Fred is well-known for his astronomy slots on ABC radio, and his books include "Stargazer - the Life and Times of the Telescope", "Why is Uranus Upside Down? and Other Questions About the Universe", (which won the 2008 Queensland Premier's Literary Prize for Science Writing) and the ABC's blockbuster, "Universe", for which he was chief consultant.
In January 2013, Fred launched his most recent book "Star-Craving Mad, Tales from a Travelling Astronomer" featuring many highlights from his recent journeys around the world, exploring points of astronomical interest, and in 2014, he launched a series of light-hearted science lectures called Fred Watson Presents.
In 2003, Fred received the David Allen Prize for communicating astronomy to the public, and in 2006 was the winner of the Australian Government Eureka Prize for Promoting Understanding of Science. In January 2010, Fred was made a Member of the Order of Australia for service to astronomy, particularly the promotion and popularisation of space science through public outreach.
Information about the many tour programs Fred leads is at Fred Watson Tours and Events.
Fred has an asteroid named after him (5691 Fredwatson), but says that if it hits the Earth, it won't be his fault...
Telescopes & Stargazing
Location E10 Car Park
Join Macquarie astrophysicists and local amateur astronomers and explore the cosmos using various telescopes from Macquarie University Observatory, local astronomy clubs, and individual astronomers. Look at celestial objects such as planets, star clusters, and nebulae, talk to members of your local astronomical society, and join in the action! Several telescope vendors will be present and eager to answer all your questions about buying your very own telescope.
Location E7B Courtyard and The Atrium
The Macquarie University portable Planetarium will be in operation this year! There will also be an additional two planetariums located in The Atrium. The three planetariums will be running in conjunction all night long, so there is plenty of opportunity to experience the wonders of the Universe through one of these fantastic domes. Entry to any of the Planetariums will be available for a gold coin donation, payable to the Planetarium staff on the night. Please note that this gold coin donation is separate to the general ticket price for Astronomy Open Night.
Short Talks
Location E7B Theatres T2 and T5 (Level 3)
The Macquarie University Astronomy Research Centre is pleased to present a series of short talks given by our astronomers and physicists. These talks are aimed at the general public and amateur astronomers and present the diverse range of interests that are present in our growing Astronomy Department.
The schedule of Short Talks will run as follows:
T2 Theatre
8:30 PM - Dr. Alex Arriola - On the Search for new planets in other Galaxies
T5 Theatre
8:30 PM - Dr. Caroline Foster - The Amazing Universe of the Backyard Astronomer
Aboriginal Astronomy
Documentary Screening: Star Stories of the Dreaming
Don't miss this special screening of the documentary Star Stories of the Dreaming, which will be run in a loop for the duration of the evening.
Location E7B Room 100
Synopsis Ghillar Michael Anderson is an ANU-trained lawyer who worked for the U.N. First Peoples program in Geneva for many years. He returned to Australia some years ago, and settled on his Euahlayi family's country on the Bogan River outside of Goodooga in northwest NSW. His Euahlayi heritage stretches back beyond written history, and he is the cultural keeper of knowledge passed down from grandfathers to grandsons for uncounted generations. In working with a research project that Bob Fuller* ran from Macquarie University into the astronomy knowledge of the Kamilaroi and Euahlayi peoples, he provided much previously unrecorded knowledge about the culture of these language groups and the relation to the sky. An outgrowth of the project was the development of a documentary by Eleanor Gilbert showcasing Michael's knowledge, and including some interesting conversations with Dr. Ray Norris, a CSIRO radio astronomer, and a founding member of the current research groups into Indigenous Astronomy.
Robotics Demonstrations
Location E7B Room 146
Come and drive one of the world-championship robots from the FIRST Robotics Competition. This program will allow all from ages 5+ to earn their Robotics Driver's License in a fun and exciting hands-on activity.
Kids Activities
Location E7B Room 163
Come along to see the children's activity room, suitable for all ages!
Vendors & Clubs
Location E7B Courtyard
Our indoor courtyard will be full of fun and exciting stalls from the local astronomical community, where you can chat about astronomy, science, studying astronomy/astrophysics/physics/photonics at Macquarie, getting in touch with your local astronomical society, what telescope to buy and much more! The following vendors and clubs will have stalls at our Astronomy Open Night:
Food & Drinks
Location Food Court (The Atrium)
There will be a number of food vendors open for the evening in The Atrium, where we will also be running additional astronomy activities. The following food vendors will be open for the duration of the event:
Light Years Ahead: Paula Dawson, Ian Milliss and Vernon Treweeke
Location Macquarie University Art Gallery, Building E11A
Light is intrinsic to our lives, it directs the way we organise our thoughts, ideas, living and working spaces. Its restorative powers are unmatched and paramount to our daily survival. Light Years Ahead explores the interplay between light, shadow, space and time, presenting artworks rarely seen on public display.
At the forefront of light as art are three pioneering Australian artists that have experimented with its properties since the 1960s. Ian Milliss experiments with the everyday equipment of gallery lights, transforming them into a medium for art practice, creating dramatic and cinematic effects of iridescent apparitions of shadow. His early practice with lights altered the way audiences participate within the museum space. Paula Dawson's powerful 3D holography effects establish a mirror to multiple worlds, building illusions of space and time, where light becomes the narrative of the past, present and future. Vernon Treweeke's black light paintings transport us on a mystical journey of psychedelic madness, where the works are "turned on" to glow and expand within the darkness. The experimental nature of the artists in Light Years Ahead highlights the infinite and interactive possibilities of the gallery space, reinforcing the synergetic intersections of art and science.
In collaboration with the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Faculty of Science

Skyline Drive is generally open 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.
Entering the Park on Skyline Drive
Skyline Drive runs 105 miles north and south along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Shenandoah National Park and is the only public road through the park. It takes about three hours to travel the entire length of the park on a clear day. You can enter Shenandoah at only four places:
Basic Facts about Skyline Drive
As you travel along Skyline Drive you will notice mileposts on the west side of the road (right side if you are traveling south, left if you are heading north). These posts help you find your way through the park and help you locate areas of interest. The miles begin at 0 at Front Royal and continue to 105 at the southern end of the park. The largest developed area, Big Meadows, is near the center of the park, at mile 51. All park maps and information use these mileposts as a reference. View or download maps of Shenandoah National Park.

In many practical applications of fuzzy methodology, it is desirable to go beyond the interval [0,1] and to consider more general fuzzy values: e.g., intervals, or real numbers outside the interval [0,1]. When we increase the set of possible fuzzy values, we thus increase the number of bits necessary to store each degree, and therefore, increase the computation time which is needed to process these degrees. Since in many applications, it is crucial to get the result on time, it is therefore desirable to make the smallest possible increase. In this paper, we describe such smallest possible increases.

A fellow artist approached me recently bemoaning that his drawing wasn't as he would have liked it. When I asked him why he didn't like his drawing he explained that it had been done using a photo reference rather than sketching it "en plein air".
In my opinion, drawing from a photo is certainly better than not drawing at all. But without the right approach it can be a sad experience with drawings and paintings that look flat, lifeless and soulless.
So how do you keep your drawing or painting from lacking soul? First, have a positive attitude and then an open mind. What are you feeling as you draw this? What senses are affecting you during the drawing process? What is it about this particular subject that you want to communicate to the viewer in your drawing?
Another thing to consider is what the photographer has already done in the photo. How have they already edited the scene and what can you do to make it your scene rather than just a repeat of what the photographer created? What else can you bring to this drawing that would make it fresh and spice it up?
Remember that your art tells your story and you get to choose what you want to say and how to say it. Happy creating. ♦

Unusual industrial looking cast iron radiators Radiators, Ref: 2754
Details of Victorian Radiators
Unusual industrial looking cast iron radiators
We've recently bought 15 of these radiators, good chunky industrial looking things. Many years ago there would have been coverings over the feet, but with one exception these are all gone now and they look just as good without. Should look great when all tested and re painted, which we can organise.

Hells Angels leader in S.F. shot dead in fight
SAN FRANCISCO Police investigate possibility he was killed after struggle with rival group member
The president of the San Francisco chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club was shot and killed Tuesday night on a Mission District street, police said Wednesday.
Mark "Papa" Guardado, 45, was shot at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday near 24th Street and Treat Avenue, about a mile from the group's clubhouse where he lived. He died at San Francisco General Hospital.
Witnesses told investigators that Guardado and the gunman struggled before the shooting.
"They had a wrestling match first," said Lt. Mike Stasko of the San Francisco police homicide detail. Then "the guy shot him, and he got on his motorcycle and left."
Police have made no arrests, but said one avenue they are exploring was that Guardado was fighting with a rival in another motorcycle group. "We're looking at all the options," Stasko said.
An attorney who was defending Guardado in a battery case in Sonoma County said that he was "absolutely devastated" by the killing and that "Mark was a wonderful human being."
"His friends loved him," said the attorney, Patrick Ciocca. "He really was an all-around good guy. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who are going to miss him dearly."
Members of the Hells Angels at the group's clubhouse on Tennessee Street in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco declined to talk about the killing.
At the street corner where Guardado was shot, across from a bar and a nail salon, there was a makeshift memorial where someone had written in large, black letters, "RIP Papa Frisco."
Nearby, others wrote "never forget" and "we will always love you." Five burned-out candles lay nearby.
Ciocca was unable to say how long Guardado had headed the local chapter. But he stressed that the Hells Angels had been unfairly harassed over the years by authorities who have raided the clubhouse in search of evidence that the group is a criminal enterprise.
"It's outlandish," Ciocca said.
The group's San Francisco chapter - or "Frisco," as its members call it - is the second-oldest Hells Angels club in the country, after Fontana in San Bernardino County. In 2004, it celebrated its 50th anniversary with a party that attracted about a thousand bikers from around the world.
The Hells Angels have long feuded with another motorcycle group, the Mongols. In 2002, a brawl between dozens of members of the two groups in a Laughlin, Nev., casino resulted in the deaths of three bikers and 13 injuries.
Sonoma County beating
Guardado had an assault conviction in Massachusetts and served prison time there in the 1990s, but had no significant criminal record in California. When he died, however, he was facing charges in Sonoma County stemming from a beating outside a bar in Petaluma earlier this year.
Police said the incident happened Feb. 10 at McNear's Saloon & Dining House. Guardado bumped a bar patron, who was not a member of a motorcycle gang. The patron fled the bar, authorities said.
Once outside, the victim was surrounded, beaten and kicked by several other alleged members of the Hells Angels, prosecutors said.
Guardado started the attack for no reason, said Sgt. Jim Stephenson of the Petaluma police street crimes unit.
"We can't determine any motive - it was just what they do," Stephenson said. "It's just intimidation."
Guardado was charged with battery in furtherance of a street gang. Jonathan Nelson, 31, vice president of the Sonoma County chapter of the Hells Angels, was charged with felony battery in the incident.
S.F. clubhouse raid
In July, federal and local authorities raided the Hells Angels' clubhouse in San Francisco, and Guardado was arrested on suspicion of possessing illegal mushrooms.
Ciocca said authorities had been looking for evidence to support the premise that the Hells Angels was a criminal organization. They seized documents and some posters, but nothing that backed their suspicions, he said.
"They found nothing, at all, to further the idea that they were a criminal street gang," Ciocca said. "They were turning it into the crime of the century - it's ridiculous."
Attorneys for Guardado and Nelson had filed a joint motion in the Sonoma County case in which they asserted that the Hells Angels organization was not a street gang. They were challenging a court ruling that barred the defendants from wearing Hells Angels attire to court hearings.
A judge ultimately barred the defendants and onlookers from wearing any Hells Angels jackets or clothing in court, but did not rule on the issue of whether the organization constituted a street gang.
'Extremely dangerous'
Guardado "was an extremely dangerous gang member," said Victoria Shanahan, the Sonoma County prosecutor in the Petaluma case. "I find it interesting the fact that they were arguing they are not gang members, but this appears to be a gang-motivated killing."
Ciocca said that his client had a "warm heart and an outgoing personality" and that he last spoke to him two weeks before his death.
"We are disappointed that he will not have a chance to clear his name," he said.
Bikers lose ruling
A federal appeals court has ruled in a free-speech suit that the Gilroy Garlic Festival has the right to bar insignia-wearing bikers because it is not a government-sponsored event.

Posts Tagged 'Engaging the reader within the first 5 pages is so much like hooking attention on a first date'
International plot consultant Martha Alderson reflects on the development of plot and structure for writers to achieve maximum reader connection and enjoyment. Home of: INTERNATIONAL PLOT WRITING MONTH: December AKA PostNaNoPlot Perfection
Martha Alderson's blog post: 17 August 2011
Watch your delivery of backstory ~ the story of what, in the past, made the character who they are today (in story time).
Dear Plot Whisperer Martha,
Your advice "Not telling everything makes the reader curious. Curiosity draws the reader deeper into the story world." is golden.
When I edit my hard-working clients' manuscripts, I see their desire to 'inform' (especially in the first quarter of the story); and I give them this analogy: "Engaging the reader within the first 5 pages is so much like hooking attention on a first date, the next five pages on a second date, and so on, and so on. Intrigue the reader, not overwhelm her/him."
Martha, I am so excited that your new book will be available in October! Lucky us writers and manuscript consultants!
Cheers to you!

Government and Heritage Library, 2017
See also: North Carolina State Symbols and Official Adoptions main page
In 2011 the Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival was designated the Official Shrimp Festival of the State of North Carolina (Session Laws, 2011-65).
Selection as State Shrimp Festival
The bill to designate the Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival as the State Shrimp Festival was sponsored by Senator Harry Brown of Onslow County. The bill recieved widespread bipartisan support, and was signed into law May 3rd, 2011.
About the Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival
The Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival began in 1971 to honor the fishing village of Sneads Ferry. It is held every year on the second weekend in August during peak shrimping season. In 1972 the festival committee was incorporated as a non-profit organization. The first Shrimp Ball was also added that year, held the weekend before the festival. The Shrimp Ball is now the largest community dinner and dance of the year.
In 1976 the organization purchased ten acres of land to serve as permanent grounds for the festival.
Today, the two-day festival includes musical entertainment, arts and crafts, and lots of food. Notable events are the parade, the Shrimp Festival Kings and Queens pageant, a shrimp heading contest, a car show, and several military exhibitions. Annual attendance is over 10,000 people.
North Carolina Session Laws
HOUSE BILL 173 *H173-v-3*
Whereas, since 1970, the Town of Sneads Ferry has held an annual shrimp festival to bring the community and surrounding areas together in celebration of the Town's coastal and aquacultural heritage; and
Whereas, the Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival has grown into a great marketing and promotional tool for the Sneads Ferry community, Onslow County, and eastern North Carolina; and
Whereas, the Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival should be adopted as the official shrimp festival of the State of North Carolina; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Maine UCEDD CAC Members Share Lived History of Disability with LEND Trainees
October 10, 2016
Two members of the Maine UCEDD's Community Advisory Committee (CAC) recently shared their lived history of disability with University of Maine trainees and faculty in the New Hampshire-Maine LEND Program, as part of a Leadership Intensive on the history of disability.
In lieu of the weekly two-state LEND seminar, trainees and faculty in NH and ME simultaneously, but separately, explored the trajectory of the disability movement in their respective states and nationally. A central exercise of the Intensive was to construct a historical timeline on developmental disabilities from 1900 to the present and to note how parallel developments in education, legislation and social attitudes intersected with and impacted the disability timeline. Maine trainees and faculty also examined the closing of Pineland, Maine's former state institution for people with developmental disabilities.
A generation apart, Community Advisory Committee members Avery Olmstead and Maryann Preble candidly shared their experiences of living with a disability. Avery, a 45-year old man with a graduate degree and cerebral palsy, spoke of parents who refused to institutionalize him and a mother who fought and sacrificed for his inclusion in public education in every location his military father was stationed. Maryann, a former resident of Pineland, went on to marry and now lives independently in her community.
The New Hampshire-Maine LEND Program is supported by a grant (#T73 MC00024) from the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and administered by the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD).

Two young men have been arrested while trying to sell the body parts of a woman suspected to have been killed for ritual purposes in Aba, Abia state.
According to the men, they met the victim via Facebook.
They were nabbed just as they were calling an Alhaji to inform him that they had body parts for sale, were stripped and tied by an angry mob after they were caught in Aba over the weekend.
When being questioned, one of the men, identified as Emeka said:
I'm from Ebonyi state. From Ukawu in Ebonyi state.
He denied knowledge of the murder and insisted it was the other suspect, identified by his nickname Million, that was responsible for the woman's death.
Asked how they killed the woman, Million confessed:
We chatted her up online, through message.
"Is the girl a prostitute," those present asked Million and he replied:
Yes, a prostitute. For Twenty five thousand.
Emeka can be heard in the background denying his involvement in the murder and saying:
Million, you won't tell these people that I didn't join you people in killing this person.
When asked how the woman was killed, Million said:
The woman's body can be seen on the ground, with a lot of blood on the floor, close to her head. Her bag was also recovered from the scene.
This is what they've been doing; kidnapping girls, closing their accounts.
This is what they're doing. When they get the girl, they'll close the girl's account, beat the girl, kill the girl, and do all sorts of nonsense.
The man added that they strangled the girl after gagging her to ensure she doesn't scream. They added that the men are ritualists and were caught trying to call Alhaji so they can sell the parts. They said they heard Million calling the Alhaji to inform him that they have a woman's parts.
As they were being led out, the suspect from Ebonyi state, Identified as Emeka, said:
Sir, it's this guy (Million) and my brother that are working together.
I don't know this guy.
When asked for his brother's name, he replied simply: "Chidera."

It's an exciting time for pharmaceutical companies in the oncology market. Not only are launches in the pipeline, but cancers once thought untreatable are now manageable, and biomarkers have the potential to revolutionize treatment.
But for all the potential and promise of these product portfolios, it's hard to sell them when you don't have access to detail oncologists.
According to the most recent edition of ZS's biannual AccessMonitor™ report, which examined call reports for more than 200 sales teams and examined interactions with approximately 325,000 physicians and prescribers, oncology is the most difficult specialty for pharmaceutical reps to visit. Oncology has been one of the most difficult practices for pharma reps to detail over the past two years, but the restrictions have become more severe and are getting worse over time.

Purpose of this special meeting - discussion of "timely adoption" of instructional materials
With advance Spring 2011 registration beginning November 8, the bookstore should have had lists of required textbooks and coursepaks from faculty by that date for compliance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008. Angel indicated at the October 28 ATI meeting, however, that the October 18 adoption date produced only 20% compliance. What's at stake? Federal financial aid and federal funding for grants.
Angel reports that the bookstore sends lists of last year's material to faculty members who were teaching last semester--to help with with their current selections.
Timely adoption of instructional materials also allows the University Bookstore to have accessible versions of most materials available to students on the first day of the semester. Section 508 requires that disabled students have usable material at the same time that other students have that access.
For this committee, the broad definition of "instructional materials" includes the following:
Any and all of this material would have to be accessible to comply with Section 508 and would have to be available for lookup by prospective students in a class. An issue arises with courses in which the instructor is not hired until the class starts. Who will select the instructional material for those courses in a timely manner?
Jeremiah seeks a resolution from this ATI Committee to be distributed to Provost Vogel, CIO Ron Bergmann, deans, and Irene Vasquez, chair of the Academic Senate. Following discussion of the draft resolution, the final form--CSUDH ATI Committee Resolution: Guidelines for Adoption of Textbook-Learning Materials [Word Doc] (41 KB)--was adopted by a motion by Farah Fisher, seconded by Marion Smith.
The Blackboard splash page now includes language about accessible material and the timely adoption of instructional materials. Version 9.1 of Blackboard, to go live in January, is reported to be Section 508 compliant.
Following the meeting, Munashe sent a link to Academic Senate Resolution EPC 06-06, "Timely Adoption of Texts," [Word Doc] adopted 2/14/07, to ATI Committee members. This resolution provides concise requirements for the timely adoption of texts.
Next meeting: TBA

I received a link to an article in Texas Lawyer from our friend, new PhD Bill Raftery at Gavel to Gavel regarding a public hearing held on April 5, 2016 at the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals regarding mandatory criminal case E-filing. The article notes that the court has already made filing mandatory for their cases. But they heard additional concerns that I will comment on:
First, if you can (registration is required) please read the full article (it isn't long) because I am going to quote the arguments presented below and respond to them with our experience in these issues.
1. Ms. Sherif Woodfin, District Clerk of Tom Green County said that "it would be a challenge to change the way that courts have operated for hundreds of years". She added that "not all court clerks have case management systems robust enough to handle e-filing". And last that the resources they have "are currently allocated to printing documents and making paper file".
My response is to point these courts to the E-Filing Return on Investment article that we published back in 2011 in the CTB. Of course they are spending money on paper files because it is almost six times more expensive to do it that way. So it should be worth the cost of conversion to an electronic world.
Further, it is now possible to with an internet connection to use a "cloud based" case management system to reduce costs. A group of California counties are doing this for example in order to share and reduce costs.
2. Williamson County District Clerk, Ms. Lisa David noted "that she had a meeting with district judges in her county and they resisted the idea of using the computer to look up their cases. She said she refuses to provide paper files for civil cases, in which e-filing is already mandated."
My response is that it is possible to have a case management system that links documents to the case numbers can automatically find and present the documents the judges need on that date, time, or proceeding when they are needed. I must also note that I doubt in most cases that judges are hitting the file stacks. So just like in manual systems, electronic systems can be used by clerk's and judicial assistants to organize the case materials.
One example is PDF Binders" that in turn can be delivered to the judge's tablet device of their choosing including the larger format Apple iPad Pro and the recently noted Sony Paper devices.
We can also reference an excellent recent blog post "Don't let eFiling turn into eFailure" published by Mr. Jon Rosen on March 25, 2016 on the OneLegal Blog. He notes several tips to make reading and working with electronic documents much easier.
3. Mr. Randy Chapman of the Texas Legal Services Center said he is concerned about privacy and public protection. He said that criminal cases all have sensitive information, and that people could be harmed unless the court creates safeguards.Chapman explained that if criminal case records are freely available online and data brokers or commercial users access them, it could destroy the life of someone who is trying to re-enter society.
Mr. David Slayton, Administrative Director of the Texas Office of Court Administration also commented that "there are no laws or rules that would stop a court clerk from putting criminal records online. Right now, different counties do what they want without any regulation".
My response is that the definition of public data and access needs to be studied in Texas. Several other states including Iowa, Utah, and Wisconsin have criminal case e-filing and they can serve as models for the Texas approach to this issue.
Further, as we have been following here on the CTB, the issue of commercial data provider's responsibilities for accurate data is starting to be addressed by legislative action. This too can be considered as part of the solution.
That said, during the initial roll-out the Texas Courts may wish to restrict access to the electronic criminal e-filing data for the public to the courthouse. This approach has been used by many courts across the country and it has the added benefit of not impinge upon the press's or public's right to the public record. It just reduces convenience.
In summary, it is possible to address these and other issues raised. One just needs to look at what other states and jurisdictions have successfully implemented to solve them and adapt them for your court.

Voonik also offers products from leading brands.
Additionally, Koovs follows a model where it does retail apparel and accessories from leading domestic and global brands but also has its own personally created fashion collection that is credited to its lab in London. StalkBuyLove, on the other hand, does not get into the brand game altogether. It is treading a brave and unconventional path towards being a niche online fashion label for women and creates all its accessories and apparel in sync with the latest trends and global fashion influences. This automatically gives StalkBuyLove an edge in our opinion. Additionally, StalkBuyLove is not just focused on discounting for the sake of it. There are special offers and rewards but the focus is more on the collections and the value they bring to the table. Also, you will find several unique facets of women's fashion here including culottes, palazzos, shrugs & ponchos, beachwear, dungarees and co-ordinates along with several other global fashion styles and outfits that are mostly to be found missing at other counterparts. While Koovs does have a comprehensive collection, the focus is diluted somewhat amongst both sexes. Voonik does offer fashion exclusively for women to a large extent but it is not as educational and movement oriented like StalkBuyLove.
StalkBuyLove has its own fashion magazine which is an absolute delight and also classifies products as per trends or looks which is an amazing way to simplify online fashion shopping. There are beautiful collections that have a distinctly global essence, something which you will not find anywhere else. Every collection tells a distinct story of creativity, innovation and experimentation that is a sheer delight to possess. StalkBuyLove lives up to its motto of new fashion everyday and the sheer pace at which new products and styles are made available here is something most other portals cannot match.
StalkBuyLove also offers comprehensive information on size, fit and fabric in order to minimize buying errors for its customers and also has a New Arrivals section where you will find the latest styles and products each day! With regard to logistics, delivery and customer service, let it suffice to say that all three portals are at par but StalkBuyLove again outstrips the other two in terms of a personalized focus on every customer and its mission to educate every modern Indian woman about the sheer array of fashion styles available to her instead of conventional brand splurging, something that the other two portals do in good measure to boost sales figures.
StalkBuyLove is not for the mass shopper. It is for those amongst us who appreciate quality over quantity, fit and finish over brand perception and true creativity and personalized craftsmanship over mass market retailing. StalkBuyLove creates its own garments and accessories painstakingly and based on deep research and insights. Each collection tells a story like we mentioned and is inherently global without losing its suitability for Indian tastes and climes. StalkBuyLove is an evolutionary movement, one that is not designed to simply facilitate mindless brand retailing like its other counterparts. It is this aspect which got us hooked to StalkBuyLove and we've been coming back ever since.

Top seed Garbine Muguruza continued her recent good form as she beat Ana Bogdan to advance to her second final of the year at the Abierto GNP Seguros.
The world number three was beaten by Petra Kvitova at the Qatar Open in February, but has had an incredible run in Monterrey, claiming her fourth straight-set win in a row by beating Bogdan 6-0 7-5 in the semi-final.
In a first meeting for the pair, the Wimbledon champion dominated the first set, hitting just four unforced errors and going on to make only eight across the 81-minute match.
'You inspire me' - Tennis world reacts to much-anticipated Kim Clijsters comeback
The Spaniard will now face fourth seed Timea Babos after the Hungarian fought back from a set down to beat Sachia Vickery 1-6 6-2 6-2.
After a disastrous first set, Babos found her form in the second, going on to hit 23 winners and five aces after a total of one hour, 36 minutes on court.
Babos is now aiming to secure her second singles title of the year after triumphing at the Taiwan Open in February.

Changing the future of spinal cord injury
Janice Ng
Janice Ng commenced her Nathalie Rose Barr funded PhD in 2018 at University of Leeds, working in the laboratory of Dr Jessica Kwok.
After completing a Diploma in Biotechnology in Singapore, Janice studied for her degree at University of Birmingham obtaining a BSc Hons in Biomedical Science with a focus on Neurotrauma, neuropharmacology, and cancer sciences.
Her PhD will investigate whether oral administration of a novel plasticity enhancer improves functional recovery after chronic spinal cord injury.
Oral administration of novel plasticity enhancer in chronic spinal cord injury
University of Leeds
In previous laboratory research, a small molecule called 'PNNi', already licensed for medical use, has been shown to reduce the growth inhibiting activity of perineuronal nets (PNN) in a normal spinal cord and, if given shortly after trauma, in acute spinal cord injury.
Researchers at Leeds University will now test if the oral administration of PNNi in an animal model is effective in
- decreasing PNN inhibitory activity
- enhancing axon sprouting
in chronic spinal cord injury when used alongside rehabilitation exercise to increase functional recovery.
Why neuroscience research in spinal cord injury is important to Janice
"What continues to captivate me about science is that it serves as a tool to provide sense into what might otherwise seem enigmatic - a prime example being the complex nature of our nervous system.
Research into spinal cord injury is of particular interest to me; despite its significant incidence worldwide, recovering complete motor capacity after such injuries remains out of reach for most patients.
Contributing to fundamental research on spinal cord injury could lead to major improvements in rehabilitation; and give hope to millions of patients around the world about the possibilities of recovery."
We can keep you up to date with our work, the latest research developments, and ways you can help change the future of
spinal cord injury.

The Importance Of Hydration During Workouts
We've all heard it before: a person should be able to consume eight glasses of water every day. However, should this amount be doubled when working out?
Dehydration is a workout enthusiast's dreadful enemy. A person's performance during sports or when working out decreases even with just a hint of dehydration. Amanda Carlson, a trainer, said that just losing two percent of one's body weight in fluid can decrease performance by as much as twenty-five percent.
Read my article
Hydration during workout is imperative not just for athletes but for everyone to get the most out of their exercise regimen. Exercising can lead to the loss of water and not replenishing that can result to feelings of dizziness, lethargy, and cramps.
Water makes the body function much better and smoother. Drinking enough water can help minimize the need for the heart to work hard in pumping blood to the body because oxygen and nutrients can be sent more efficiently to the muscles used during workouts.
One problem, though, is that even experienced athletes have difficulty in drinking enough water. It is important to know that hydration should not just be during workouts but before and after it as well.
See more tips
Taking a sip of seven to ten ounces of fluid every ten to twenty minutes of exercise is highly recommended to prevent dehydration. For those who work out for longer than an hour a day or for those who are taking on a particularly intense workout regimen, electrolytes may need to be replenished too.
Electrolytes are nutrients or chemicals in the body that affect major functions such as heartbeat regulation and muscle contraction for ease of movement. Calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, and chloride are the major electrolytes found in the body.
Check out these helpful tips
Calcium helps with muscle contractions, nerve signaling, blood clotting, cell division, and in the formation of bones and teeth. Potassium regulates heart contractions, helps keep blood pressure levels stable, and facilitate muscle functions.
Magnesium is necessary for muscle contractions, proper heart rhythms, nerve functioning, bone building and strength, decreasing anxiety, digestion, and in keeping a stable protein-fluid balance. Sodium helps maintain fluid balance and is needed for muscle contractions as well as nerve signaling while Chloride also helps with fluid balance.
The loss of electrolytes during workouts can be remedied by a sports drink or electrolyte enhanced water. It is also important to be cautious of overhydration which can lead to hypoatremia a condition characterized by excess water in the body that dilutes the sodium content in the blood.
Nausea, headaches, confusion, and fatigue are some of the symptoms of hypoatremia. In severe cases, it can even lead to coma and death.
If you prefer sports drink, check the label to see whether it can provide enough electrolytes for your body during workout. The best amount is fourteen grams of carbohydrates, which should come from glucose, sucrose, and/or fructose, twenty eight milligrams of potassium, and one hundred milligrams of sodium per eight ounce serving.
A day before working out, you should drink extra water and monitor the color of your urine. Ideally, it should be pale yellow since it means that one is properly hydrated.
Click the following page
Drink two eight ounce cups of water two hours before starting your working. This would give your kidneys enough time to process your liquid intake and give you enough time to empty your bladder before working out.
Before starting your workout, drink another five to ten ounces of water. An ounce of fluid is equal to a medium mouthful of water.
Read this page
Check your weight before and after exercise to know how much water you should take during your workout. Ideally, for every pound lost during activity, one should drink an additional sixteen ounce of fluid.
After working out, you should check how many pounds you lost and drink another twenty four ounce of fluid. In case you actually gained weight, you may have overhydrated and should remember to drink less water in the future.

You already know Miami is an awesome city. But you might have to share it with a lot more people in the coming year.
Lonely Planet has named Miami the number four city on Planet Earth to visit in 2019.
The top five – in order – on Lonely Planet's prestigious list are Copenhagen, Denmark; Shenzhen, China; Novi Sad, Serbia; Miami; and Kathmandu, Nepal. The only other U.S. city to crack the top ten was Seattle, coming in at number eight.
So how did Miami beat out a bazillion other places for this honor?
"Miami is a very unique city, and 2019 is a great time to experience it," says Trisha Ping, Lonely Planet's eastern U.S. destination editor. "Obviously there are the beaches, nightlife, and art deco architecture. But in recent years, there has been such a food renaissance. So many people are traveling to Miami to eat."
And our awesomeness doesn't stop there.
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to Miami New Times's mission. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Miami's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
"There is the art scene in Wynwood, too... it's popping," Ping says. "It's a city that is really coming into its own. And with [Brightline], it's now even easier to get from Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach to the city."
Of course, locals know that many art galleries that once called Wynwood home have moved on to other Miami neighborhoods due to rising real estate costs. But as long as tourists gather to take selfies in front of Wynwood's murals, you can bet they'll keep raving about its "art scene."
Lonely Planet's "Best in Travel" awards require quite a process; Ping says it's her colleagues' "biggest discussion point of the year." It all starts with nominations from the travel media company and guidebook's editors, researchers, locals, and influencers throughout the world. Destinations that emerge as favorites are ultimately ranked by a small, travel-knowledgeable panel of judges.
In addition to its Top Cities list, Lonely Planet also recently announced its Top Countries, Best Value Destinations, and Best New Attractions for Kids, among other picks.

Heads up toy collectors, Hulk fans and New York Comic Con attendees: Hasbro's bringing a green and red exclusive to the Big Apple!
Hasbro's Marvel Universe line expands at NYCC 2011--October 13-16 at the Javits Center--with the Marvel Universe Special Edition Compound Hulk figure. For only $11, you can get your hands on Compound Hulk, which was inspired by HULK #30 by Jeff Parker and Ed McGuinness.
What does HULK writer Jeff Parker think about seeing his and Ed's creation turned into a toy? "This is not surprising at all considering how big Ed factored into that character--everything he thinks of makes a great toy," Parker said. "It's very cool, and they better send us each one and not make us share just because it's two Hulks in one!"
Head over to Booth #302 at New York Comic Con, or HasbroToyShop.com, to get your own Compound Hulk! And stay glued to Marvel.com for more New York Comic Con 2011 updates as we get closer to fall's biggest pop culture event!
The official word on Compund Hulk, from Hasbro:
What's more powerful than Hulk and Red Hulk? The two Hulks combined into Compound Hulk! This 3 3/4" Marvel Universe figure recreates a memorable moment from this year's HULK #30, when the two hulking enemies were combined into one red-and-green behemoth! The figure is based on the artwork of superstar artist Ed McGuinness, and his artwork adorns the special edition blister card and outer packaging of this one-of-a-kind figure!

Sure, I'm a fan of football and basketball as well, but for me there are many things distinct about the game of baseball which make it like no other sport. The sounds, the smells, the history, and the anticipation that builds before giving way to the critical play all add to the richness of experience I take away from watching or more often recently, listening to, my favorite game.
It is only natural then that, as a father, I want to share these experiences with my son. I can even now envision the day when I'll be able to attend a game with him and a son, or daughter, of his own.
Lukas is 4 years old now, and now seems like the right time to begin taking him to more games to watch. Before now, with his nap and sleep schedule as well as shortened attention span, the time never seemed quite right to load up and take him to the ball park. The couple games we did attend before he was 1 were not for his sake, and frankly his being along made it difficult to focus on the game. So, since then we hadn't actually attended a big league game.
That all changed yesterday however, as Mrs. LIAYF and I took Lukas to the Mariners game against the Padres from San Diego.
We arrived early and entered Safeco Field through the Team Store. We entered there because as we were getting ready for the game - packing sandwiches, water bottles, fruit, and of course peanuts - we realized Lukas didn't own a Mariners shirt. That had to be remedied.
|Mrs. LIAYF, not a huge fan, first grabbed a Chone Figgins shirt. NO! I shouted.
After getting the Ichiro shirt, like any good baseball fans, we headed straight down to the field to watch batting practice.
|Seats here would have been nice.
Finally, as the game was about to begin, we made our way up to our seats. This is where I admit our tickets were free. They were ones I received because I enough of a regular at Starbucks, that I knew when they were having a customer appreciation giveaway.
As you might suspect, the tickets were in the nosebleed section. If you look closely you can see Ichiro running into right field in the picture below.
|That little white dot, centerish. Yeah, that's him.
|Smile at the camera and I'll buy lemonade!
Truth be told, he was squirming and ready to go by the third inning. But Mrs. LIAYF promised him that if he was patient and let daddy watch the game for another inning, we could go back to the real highlight of the visit to the ballpark for him.
He obliged, so we did as well.
|I'll admit, this was a pretty cool play structure
After another inning of playing in the kid area we were ready to head home, a win for the team, and also for team LIAYF already securely in hand.
How about you readers? What events do you enjoy taking your kids too?
