When you are making meme's online, and they're hilarious or perfect for your current situation or can be used in a twitter war or Facebook fight. Generally, being meme sauced results in blowing up your Facebook friends' news feeds with an abundance of memes (which they enjoy, thoroughly).

Messrs. Plato, Aristotle, Kant and Hegel, step aside for a Real Philosopher. Yield way to the only man in the 20th century whose aperc¸us are quoted as often as those of Winston Churchill.
Who's that? you ask. Tsk-tsk. The sage and seer Yogi Berra, of course, the thinker about whom the late A. Bartlett Giamatti observed, "Talking to Yogi Berra about baseball is like talking to Homer about the gods." Who else, indeed. For shame.
To coincide with the opening of the baseball season, Yogi and his family have just published a collection of his more sapient mots, entitled The Yogi Book: I Really Didn 't Say Everything I Said (Workman, 127p., $7.95). In it Yogi himself provides context and circumstance to illuminate many of the brilliant observations that have since floated free in our nation's consciousness. Perhaps it is merely his sop to scholarly pedants, but it also offers a welcome service to those who have cited him far too casually, unaware of the existential moment, so to speak.
The most famous quotables are all here: "It's de´ja` vu all over again" and "It ain't over till it's over" and "A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore" and "Ninety percent of the game is half mental" and "Slump? I ain't in no slump.... I just ain't hitting" and "You can observe a lot by watching" and (after being asked about a very popular restaurant in St. Louis) "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
Some resonate with that ping of profundity that even Ludwig Wittgenstein would envy, such as: "If the world were perfect, it wouldn't be" or "The future ain't what it used to be" or (about Carmen, his devoted wife of 50 years) "We have a good time together even when we're not together."
Carmen and their three sons contribute some Yogisms that are not yet in general circulation. One night, after she had induced him to see the opera "Tosca," Carmen asked him on the way home what he thought of it, and Yogi replied, "I really liked it. Even the music was good." At another time, when Yogi was driving the family to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N. Y., he got completely lost but assured Carmen, "We're lost but we're making good time." On another occasion, they were invited to dinner at the White House by then-President Ford. Afterwards, Yogi complained that "it was hard to have a conversation with anyone; there were too many people talking."
The Yogi Book also manages to capture many of the genuinely nice and generous-spirited qualities of his character and upbringing. Once a reporter asked him, "What would you do if you found a million dollars?" Yogi answered with complete sincerity, "I'd see if I could find the guy that lost it, and if he was poor, I'd give it back." One day at home, his son Larry called to his father who was taking a shower and told him, "Dad, the guy is here for the Venetian blinds." Yogi called back, "Look in my pants pocket and give him five bucks."
Yogi also remains unabashed about some of his quirks. Once his teammates were ribbing him about the decrepit, frayed luggage he always carried, and Yogi told them, "Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel." On another occasion, a teammate asked him the time, and Yogi replied, "You mean now?" Once during spring training when the team traditionally was fitted for new uniforms. Yogi was asked, "What size cap do you want?" He responded, "I don't know. I'm not in shape yet."
But let's end with a quintessential Yogism: "Always go to other people's funerals; otherwise they won't go to yours."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) � A.J. Burnett has been tough on the San Francisco Giants no matter what uniform he wears. For seven innings, he was doing it again.
Ryan Vogelsong, who has not pitched particularly well against his former team, did Burnett one better Sunday, tossing eight sharp innings and leading the Giants to a 4-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Burnett allowed more than two runs to the Giants for just the second time in nine career starts, giving up all four on eight hits over his 7 1-3 innings. He walked three and struck out six.
"You've got to tip your hat to their pitcher," Burnett said. "He came in and shut us down."
While Vogelsong faced just two over the minimum, Burnett wasn't giving into the Giants much. With the exception of a two-out rally in the third, Burnett was having his way with the Giants until Pablo Sandoval tripled against him to drive in a pair of insurance runs.
"I came after him in that situation," Burnett said. "It was a decent pitch. He pulled his hands in and put a good swing on it."
Pirates manager Clint Hurdle had just visited with Burnett a batter before and felt good about leaving him in.
"I have a lot of confidence in A.J. where we were right there," Hurdle said. "I figured he would find a way to get out of it and he didn't. He got three ground balls in the eighth inning and one that could have been a double play."
The Pirates finished a 16-game stretch in which they played 13 on the road with a 6-10 mark. More importantly, they still have a share of first-place in the NL Central with the St. Louis Cardinals losing to the Atlanta Braves.
The Pirates return home to host the Milwaukee Brewers for three games before hosting the Cardinals in a three-game series next weekend.
Vogelsong (3-4) allowed two hits, struck out five and walked one in his first win since May 20 against Washington. The right-hander used his longest outing of the season to lower his ERA to 2.55 in four starts since coming off the disabled list on Aug. 9.
Burnett (6-9) fell to 2-3 in 10 starts since returning from the DL.
Sandy Rosario finished the three-hitter for San Francisco's 11th shutout. The Pirates have been shut out nine times this season.
Vogelsong, who recorded his first decision since coming off the disabled list, faced just two over the minimum, retiring eight of the final nine batters he faced.
"It just seemed whatever we were looking for, something else came out of his hand," Hurdle said. "We just didn't square him up a whole lot throughout the game. We just had a couple of opportunities. We weren't able to adjust or complicate things for him."
Burnett was nearly as good until running into trouble late. He retired six straight after Posey's RBI single and then retired six straight again before Posey's single in the eighth.
NOTES: LHP Jeff Locke (9-4, 3.01 ERA) gets the start for the Pirates when they begin a series against Milwaukee on Tuesday night. He's 1-2 in seven starts since the All-Star break. ... Pirates OF Andrew McCutchen has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games against the Giants. ... The Pirates are 5-0-2 in series of at least four games. ... The Giants finished 11-23 against the NL Central, the second-worst record of any NL team against that division.

Weekend Cat Blogging - Klara
Klara, eight months old
I know many of you have wanted an update on Klara, the kitten we decided to keep last summer. She's gone from a tiny, squealing, constantly hungry little thing to a very pretty and quite substantial cat. She's eight months old, and really rather large for her age, at about 3 kilos already.
Klara, three weeks
And I can't resist re-posting this one...
My absolute favorite photo of Klara, at nine weeks

A witness in New Jersey has suggested that mass abduction by manipulative extraterrestrials have been occurring in the region.
The witness talks about possible communication with alien beings on 20 May, 2013 at 12:00 AM. This report has been obtained from a testimony included in the database of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), published on 22 May, 2013.
The witness tells us that he has always been sceptical about aliens and then he describes what he saw.
"I've always been a skeptic of aliens and UFOs, up until two nights ago, and I feel lost and confused, that's why I am here. I would like to start off by telling you that about 3 weeks ago I saw an unidentified flying object that looked like a fireball in the sky."
The witness describes how he was abducted by aliens and found himself tied in a metal bed.
"Two nights ago as I was about to go to sleep I saw something in my room through my peripheral vision. I don't remember going to sleep, but I do remember waking up in a metal room and I was lying on a metal bed and I was restrained."
The witness describes how he found that many other people, along with his sister, were also lying unconsciousness on metal beds.
' I struggled to turn my head and I saw many people lying in these metal beds just like mine and I focused on one in particular which I realized was my sister, it seemed that everyone was in some state of unconsciousness."
The witness describes his reaction to the situation.
"At that point I realized that something was very wrong and I was conscious of the scary situation I was in. I started to panic and tried to free myself."
The witness talks about being surrounded by aliens.
"At that point I realized that I was surrounded by short beings, they were grayish in color and seemed oblivious to the fact that I was trying to fight my way out of the restraints."
He describes how another, taller being, appeared out of nowhere.
"Suddenly out of nowhere came a bright light and another being appeared, this one was taller and had a more oval shaped head with indentations in it and it was almost tan in color."
The witness further describes how this alien communicated with him and told him about how they were looking into our DNA.
'It communicated with me telepathically and I asked it what it was doing to us and it said "We are looking at your DNA."( Same thing had been told to me during mine abduction, when i resist and told them they can't abduct me against my free will - UFO-Blogger.com Author) I asked it why it was doing this to us and it replied "All humans have alien DNA, but not all humans have the same alien DNA."
The alien informed the witness that they come from Sirius.
"I asked it where they were from and it said "We come from Sirius" and it also told me that they have been coming to me for a long time."
The witness finally tells us that the alien disappeared and he found himself in his bed.
"At that point it disappeared and my fear returned and I started screaming from the top of my lungs, the next thing I remember is jumping up from my bed screaming waking up everyone in the house. I haven't slept for 2 nights now".

OK fine. it's a provocative title. But hear me out.
Most non-cave-dwelling luddites have heard about the new Apple tablet (aka IPad). The simplest (and most misleading) way to describe it is as a gigantic ipod touch, with all the multitouch goodness of the ipod/iphone, as well as the numerous app store apps.
There's a vigorous debate going on over the merits and impact of the IPad, and while it's clear that it's not a work laptop/netbook replacement, it's probably the first internet appliance with some mojo.
The word 'appliance' is chosen deliberately. The IPad essentially behaves like a completely sealed off appliance - you can't hack it or customize it directly, and are only allowed the interface that's provided to you by Apple and the app store (also controlled by Apple). This is viewed (correctly, on many levels) as a feature, and not a bug. After all, most people don't care to know how their large and complicated computers really work, and all they want is a way to check email, surf the web, watch movies, etc etc.
But here's the thing. As long as the computer has been this complicated, hard to manage and yet critically important device, it's been easy to make the case for computer science as an important, lucrative discipline, and one worth getting into. Even in the past few years, with enrollments plummeting (they seem to be recovering now), there's been no argument about the importance of studying computer science (even if it comes across as boring to many).
And yet, how many people enroll in 'toaster science' ? More importantly, how many people are jumping on the chance to become automotive engineers ? As the computer becomes more and more of an appliance that we "just use", the direct connection between the person and the underlying computing engine go away.
Obviously there'll always be a need for computer scientists. Those social networks aren't going to data mine themselves, and someone needs to design an auction for pricing IPad ads. But it's quite conceivable that computer science will shrink dramatically from its current size down to a much smaller discipline that generates the experts working in the backend of the big internet companies (Microsoft, I'm not optimistic about your chances of survival).
This cuts both ways: a smaller discipline with more specialized skills means that we can teach more complex material early on, and are likely to attract only the dedicated few. However, it'll be a "few": which means that for a while, till we reach a new stable equilibrium, there'll be way fewer jobs at lower salaries.
I make this observation with no great pleasure. I'm an academic and my job might disappear within 10 years for other reasons. But along with rejoicing in the mainstreaming of what appears to be fairly slick use of technology, I'm also worried about what it means for our field as a whole.

The Moughty family came from a little town on the border of Westmeath and Longford. I wrote a blog when I first launched my site in 2007 describing my first trip to Ireland with my daughter. When we first arrived in Ireland, Sarah sent a note to two Moughty's she found in the phonebook explaining that she was flying home after a week, but her parents would be staying in Dublin at the Berkeley Court the following week. Both individuals called us, but Jack Moughty insisted on driving to Dublin to meet us.
On the appointed day, the concierge called us to say that Mr. Moughty had arrived and would meet us in the pub. My husband Brian, went down first. He, of course did not know who he was meeting, but when he entered the pub, a gentleman was just turning from the bar and as he explains it, "the hair stood up on the back of my neck." The man at the bar looked just like his father (who had been dead for over ten years). There was no doubt that he had met Jack Moughty.
When I tell this story, people frequently ask how we are related. The answer is, I don't know. I've never been able to get back far enough to discover the relationship, however I have no doubt that it is there. Perhaps on my trip next year I see if Jack will agree to a DNA test.
On a subsequent trip, Jack was able to clear up one mystery for me. I had researched all of the Moughty's that had come from the registration district of Ballymahon, and had put together an entire family group. James Moughty had married twice...his first wife died shortly after the marriage and there were no children, but he and his second wife, Maria Duggan, had ten children. I had discovered a number of the children had emigrated to Buenos Aires, Argentina . I couldn't, however, make a connection with the family.
Jack took us to the cemetery where Brian's great grandfather and great uncle were buried. He said he remembered attending both their funerals. The headstone was one of the largest in the cemetery, however the names on the headstone did not include Bernard and Jack (Brian's ancestors) but James, his wife Maria, two of his daughters and his father, also Bernard). When I asked Jack how Brian's great grandfather Bernard was related to this James, he said they were brothers! He also said that Bernard (James and Bernard's father) was the son of Patrick who had been evicted from his land at Barnacor in Longford. Both James and Bernard named their eldest son Patrick.
Confused yet? One of the most difficult issues in Irish research is sorting out the large number of individuals living in the same area with the same name. Although not a hard and fast rule, it was not uncommon for the eldest son to be named after the paternal grandfather, the second son after the maternal grandfather and the third after the father. Here, both James' and Bernard's first sons appear to be named after the great grandfather. James goes on to name his second son after his father, the third after his father-in-law, the fourth is named Michael and the fifth, James.
Because of the uniqueness of the Moughty name, I'm hoping there is a hint here. Jack Moughty's father was Michael, his grandfather James, and his great grandfather Michael. The repetition of all of these names (besides the obvious resemblance <g>) has me speculating that possibly Jack's great grandfather, Michael, and Brian's great great grandfather were brothers. Church records appear to go back to the 1830's in the area so I'm hoping for a breakthrough. Stay tuned! Although Brian's grandfather, Patrick said the name was "always" spelled MOUGHTY, I've found a number of variations on the name. In Griffith's it spelled Muchty and I've found church records as Muchy and Mooty. In fact, my father-in-law's birth certificate from New Rochelle, New York is spelled Moody! According to Jack, there is also a protestant line of the family (converted during the penal laws) that changed their name to Auchmuchty.
Happy Hunting!

04.09.13: For the second year in a row CCRI women's basketball standout Jahira Smith (Brooklyn, NY) has been named Second Team All-American by the NJCAA for division II women's basketball. This is the second All-American award for Smith this season after being named 2013 WBCA Junior/Community College Coaches' All-America Team. Smith was chosen to the 10-member team was selected by a vote of the WBCA national selection committee. In all Smith has earned three All-American honors over her historic record-setting career as a Lady Knight.
Head Coach Kate Lynch commented about her talented sophomore "Not only is Jahira a fantastic player, but she is an even better young lady. 'Jah' brings joy to everyone around her. She was our engine over the past two years. Though she can score at will she looked to get her teammates involved which is why she set so many records here at CCRI. We are very proud of her earning her second All-American honor this year. She has truly earned it."
Smith is a two-year captain of the Lady Knights and two-time All-Region XXI (New England) selection. Recently, was named WBCA All-American as she helped lead her team to the "Elite Eight" this year at NJCAA National Tourney. Smith led nation is steals with 126 averaging 4.3 assists per game. In addition, she is the CCRI all-time leader in: Scoring with 1,058 points surpassing Amanda Ward who scored 956 career points; Assists with 315 surpassing Nicole Girard who had 274; Steals with 259 passing Denise Scott who had 162; and made free-throws with 186 surpassing Jerilynn Johnson who had 183. Smith was also honored as the Kevin McNamara Award as DIII/CC Women's Player of the Year by Cox Communications.
As a freshman Smith was the top scorer with 502 total points averaging 16.2 points per game where she is ranked No. 41 nationally, rebounds with 217 averaging seven rebounds per game, Smith set the single season record for assists with 183 total and 5.9 per game, blowing away the former record of 156 by Nicole Girard in 2008-09, she is also ranked No. 14 nationally in assists nationally. Smith recorded an impressive 11 double-doubles and one triple-double in her 31 games played. In addition, she tied the single-game assist record when she recorded 14 versus Orange County CC on January 21st, a record she shares with Jessica Aldrich in 1994 and Jen Rado in the 2001-02 season. Lastly, she crushed the CCRI steals record out of the water with 110 steals so far averaging 4.2 per game ranking her No. 8 in the Nation while crushing the former record of 93 held by Lauren Harrington in the 2008-09 season. Making Smith's numbers even more impressive was that she played on a very young team with only one sophomore and she moved from playing shooting guard to point guard mid-season and did not miss a beat.
Coach Lynch added "Jahira has had a wonderful career at CCRI. Jah has rewritten history for the women's basketball program and I am so proud of her. She deserves every accolade out there. It has been a privilege to coach such a great player and a fantastic young lady. We are going to miss her."
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

CALGARY — A University of Calgary study has found that the percentage of people using social assistance is lower than it was four decades ago in every province, except Ontario.
Ron Kneebone and Katherine White of the School of Public Policy looked at social assistance data for people under the age of 65 from all of the provinces between 1969 and 2012.
Kneebone said he was surprised to find the rate had fallen in every province but one.
"The reliance on social assistance in Ontario is now higher than in any other province, except Newfoundland and Labrador. In every Maritime province, it's lower than it is in Ontario," said Kneebone.
The percentage of those receiving assistance in Ontario in 2012 was 7.6 per cent, up from the four per cent it was in 1969.
Newfoundland and Labrador's social assistance rate was nine per cent in 2012, but half what it was in 1969 at 18 per cent. Alberta had the lowest welfare rate in 2012 at just 3.2 per cent, down from five per cent in 1969.
Even Quebec, a province with a similar size and economic force as Ontario, has also seen its rate fall to seven per cent two years ago from just under 10 per cent in 1969.
The study doesn't look at the reasons for the disparity.
But Kneebone said the Ontario case begs the question of whether policy missteps have played a role in the province's high social assistance usage rate. He said the question is whether its social assistance programs are too robust and encourage individuals to go on welfare as opposed to pursue other options.
"Social assistance is a provincial program and everyone has a different set of rules and regulations that determine if you can collect social assistance and for how long," he said.
"What someone needs to do is go through and figure out how Ontario's rules differ from what is done elsewhere."
It has not been a straight downward trend in the provinces over the years. During recessions, the numbers have risen dramatically but dropped off once recovery starts to take hold.
During the economic downturn in the 1990s, Ontario's social assistance rate hit nearly 15 per cent, while both Quebec and Nova Scotia were closing in on 13 per cent.
British Columbia was also near 12 per cent in the 90s, but Kneebone said its number dropped to 4.7 per cent in 2012.
"What drives people on and off of social assistance is the business cycle," said Kneebone. "We run into recessions and people go on. There's recovery and it goes off."

Matsushima (松島; [1]) is a small town in Miyagi prefecture, northeastern Japan.
The town faces Matsushima Bay, famous for some 260 tiny islands (島 - shima) covered in pines (松 - matsu) — hence the name -- and ranked as one of Japan's Three Great Views.
In 1689, Haiku poet Matsuo Basho visited Matsushima on the trip recorded in Narrow Road to the Deep North. A well-known poem often attributed to Basho claims to record his reaction, signifying that nothing more could be said:
Get in
The town is only a short distance from prefectural capital Sendai.

Most visitors arrive on the JR Senseki Line (仙石線) connecting Sendai (25 minutes by express train or 40 minutes by local) and Ishinomaki. The most convenient station is Matsushima-Kaigan (松島海岸). The Matsushima station on the JR Tohoku Main Line is located a fair distance away from the seashore.
From Tokyo, the Shinkansen (新幹線) runs to Sendai for connection to the Senseki Line. The total one-way fare is ¥10900 using the fastest, all-reserved shinkansen service, and the journey to Matsushima-Kaigan lasts around 2 3/4 hours. There is no charge if you use the Japan Rail Pass.
By boat
Another popular choice is to take the train to Hon-Shiogama, connect to a sightseeing boat to Matsushima (viewing some of the famous islands along the way), then return by train.
Get around
Matsushima's seaside attractions are within walking distance of the train station and ferry pier, but the best views are from mountaintops not so easy to reach on foot. The most spectacular views are from Saigyo Modoshi no Matsu Park, a ¥660 cab ride up from the station. It is covered with cherry blossoms in the spring, but the food available there is nothing special. Other overlooks are Sōkanzan, a promontory that juts out into the bay, and Ōgitani, a hill across the coastal highway from Sokanzan.

An Outstanding Rosé Champagne
Every once in a while, you taste a wine that really makes you sit up and notice. There are many reasons for this- perhaps it's the aromatic profile or maybe it's the balance, persistence or structure. I find it often has to do with another factor - the wine is delicious! I recently tried the Benoit-Lahaye Brut Rosé from a small grower-producer in Champagne and from the first sip, I knew I had found a new favorite.
Benoit-Lahaye is located in Bouzy, a town very famous for its Pinot Noir. In fact, it is so famous that when you start to research other producers of Champagne to discover where the Pinot Noir for their Rosé was sourced, more often than not, it's Bouzy. However, most growers make their rosé with Pinot Noir vinified as a red wine; this is then blended with Chardonnay for the final wine.
Benoit-Lahaye however makes their rosé Champagne according to an approach known as saignée. This process, which is also known as "bleeding," is one in which the rosé is made from free run Pinot Noir juice which has been macerated and bled from the skins after the grapes have been destemmed. This is a more "pure" manner in which to make top-quality Rosé Champagne; it is however, an technique not in use by the majority of producers. Benoit-Lahaye by the way, labels his Rosé Saignée as Rosé de Maceration.
Everything about this wine is impressive, from the deep strawberry color to the beautiful fresh strawberry and currant fruit aromas to the notable richness on the palate and finally to the lengthy finish. The bubbles are ultra-fine and persistent, the mid-palate is quite generous and the acidity is lively and perfectly tuned. The complexity is dazzling and the overall balance is flawless. I basically have run out of words to describe this stunning wine; this is simply one of the very finest Rosé Champagnes I have ever tasted.
I was not familiar with Benoit-Lahaye, so I did a google search and noted that several bloggers who write about Champagne mention him as a grower/producer that everyone is talking about. It's nice to see that confirmation from other Champagne lovers as well. Not that I would have changed my mind about this wine if I had read opposing opinions for some reason, but it's clear that this is one of Champagne's very best!

We welcomed Sonny Knight into the studio this morning in the 11:00 hour to talk about his live debut with The Lakers. You'll hear more from Sonny Knight and The Lakers in the future—he let us know some recording may be underway in not too long. We also gave tickets away to Sonny's show and Carrie Rodriguez, and heard brand new music from The Boys n' the Barrels…
The pledge drive edition of PWB brought guests Ellen Stanley of "Womenfolk" and Al B. Ware of "Songs of Praise" to the morning's festivities, as well as a call from a Walker Church-era volunteer, Scott G. Hansen. It was fun to hear form him in honor of the pledge drive as the station looks at its 35th anniversary: Scott was one of the last people to broadcast from the church's belfry so long ago.
A BIG kiss of joy to everyone who helped KFAI beat the pledge drive goal on Friday, April 12th! Thank you for supporting Radio Without Boundaries! Today on PWB we heard new music from Ana Popvoc, Carla Bruni, Simone Dinnerstein, and some guys, too! The Bills have a new album, "Yes Please," on Red House Records that I am sure I will spin more from—yes, please!
This Earth Day-ish date meant a rather obvious start to the show with Dramarama's "What Are We Gonna Do?" but it was fun to hear that cautionary song, now a couple decades old. We also heard new Iron and Wine, Charles Bradley, and something from the new compilation dedicated to Nick Drake, "Way To Blue."
Guided by Voices, Sawtooth Bluegrass Band, Beausoleil avec Michael Doucet, Fatoumata Diawara and The Valdons were just some of our soundtrack this morning. We went many places to bring new music to our Monday and set us up for a busy week in the clubs. RIP George Jones.

Welcome to Lake Washington School District!
Lake Washington serves about 29,000 students in 52 schools. Our students live in Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish and portions of Bellevue, Woodinville and unincorporated King County. The following steps will provide you with all the information and forms you need to register your child.
Steps to register new students (grades 1-12)
- 1. Determine your neighborhood school
- 2. Documents to bring
- 3. Forms to complete
- 4. Additional information for families
1. Determine your neighborhood school
Students must register at their "home" or neighborhood school, according to the attendance boundaries. Go to school and bus finder for information on what your "home" schools are, including elementary, middle school and high school, based on your address. If you need assistance determining which school your student will attend, please contact the Lake Washington School District transportation department at 425-936-1120.
2. Documents to bring
Schools require the following to register:
- Proof of child's birth date, such as a birth certificate or passport
- Proof of residency (such as an energy bill with your current address, lease agreement, or mortgage statement)
- Records of Immunizations — students must meet state immunization requirements. Bring proof of immunization from your family physician or a local health department. The parent or guardian then transfers this information to a certificate of immunization and signs the certificate to verify its accuracy.
- Emergency card — the parent or guardian fills out this form during registration. Bring information such as the student's birth date, address and home phone, mother and father's employer and work phone numbers, name and phone number of emergency contacts other than parent/guardian (ideally this person or people will live near the student), student's doctor's name and phone number, names of any medications student takes and any medical condition student may have.
- Consent for Exchange of Information (if applicable) — If a student is transferring from another school, the parent or guardian must give their consent to transfer records from the student's previous school. It is helpful if the parent brings the name, address and phone number of the previous school.
- Transcript or Academic History (if applicable) — Students transferring from another school should bring academic records. The school may also ask if the student has been in any special programs in their previous school such as English Language Learner, special reading program, etc.
Schools enroll students based on age. For example, according to Washington State's uniform entry age, a child must be six years of age as of midnight, August 31, of the year of entry to be entitled to enter first grade.
Some schools may have additional registration requirements. For further information, call the school directly. Some schools, particularly high schools, require that parents or students phone ahead for an appointment to register.
3. Forms to complete
You can print and complete the following forms to bring with you at registration:
- Student Registration Form (Spanish)
- Certificate of Immunization Status (Spanish)
Certificate of Immunization Exemption Status (Spanish)
- Nurse Alert Form (Spanish)

Kindergarten Registration
Learn how to register your child for kindergarten.
Home-based instruction (homeschooling)
Declaration of Intent to Provide Home-Based Instruction must be filed annually
If you are a family who intends to provide your child or children home-based instruction in lieu of attendance or enrollment in a public school, an approved private school, or an extension program of an approved private school, you must file an annual declaration of intent to do so. Download the Declaration of Intent to Provide Home School Instruction here, or visit the district's Resource Center (third floor) to obtain a copy.
If partial Home School Instruction is requested, please also fill out the Request for Part-Time Attendance form. For additional information, please contact Pam Brown or Rick Burden.
Attending a school other than the assigned neighborhood school
Students who live in the district
Students who live within the district can apply for a variance to another school, if there is space available at that other school. See the Closed Schools List to determine where there is space available. For more information about transferring between schools within Lake Washington School District, contact your neighborhood school.
Students who live outside the district
If a student lives outside the district, they may attend Lake Washington School District schools, if those schools are open. A Choice Transfer application (also known as between district transfer application) is required and space must be available at the school the student wants to attend. If the desired school is listed as open, the Choice Transfer application must be obtained and turned in to the home district in which the family lives to initiate the process. A student living in Lake Washington School District may also attend a different public school district if space is available there. Both types of transfer require the Choice Transfer application. For more information on transfers between districts, contact Pam Brown at 425-936-1283. Learn more about between district transfers here.

An Accountant prepares and maintains the financial records of a business. With more training than a bookkeeper, an accountant has a larger responsibility, including preparing financial statements using the data recorded by the bookkeeper.
Here are some warning signs that embezzlement might be occurring:
* Unusual bad-debt write-offs could be covering up a fraudulent scheme.
* Profit declines and increases in expenses could be a sign that cash is being siphoned off illegitimately.
* A decline or unusually small increase in sales could mean that sales are not being recorded.
* Bounced business checks could indicate that funds are being siphoned out of your bank account.
* An increase in overall sales returns might mean a concealment of A/R payments.
* Inventory shortages could indicate fictitious purchases, unrecorded sales, or employee pilferage.
* Slow collections can hide embezzlement.
An Accounting System refers to the entire process of keeping track of all a business´ financial transactions and financial controls. Some basic elements of an accounting system include the Payables and Receivables systems, Inventory Tracking, Payroll, and Sales.
Bonding is the process by which an employer can be indemnified for the loss of money or property sustained through dishonest acts of a "bonded" employee. This can cover many types of unlawful acts including embezzlement, forgery, larceny, theft, misappropriation, or other dishonest acts committed by an employee, alone or in collusion with others.
Accounting Controls allow a manager or business owner to keep track of and control a company's assets. A major control is the Inventory Control System which essentially tracks inventory levels, increases, and decreases so that a manager can determine what may need to be re-ordered or what is or is not selling well.

The library provides a dynamic and interesting work experience for students. Student employees have a variety of work opportunities and a chance to develop many different skills.
Schedules are determined each semester that allow students to earn all of their grant money. In return, students are responsible for working their assigned hours. Circulation students' schedules are set up with the expectation that they work their regular number of hours during exam periods. Arrangements are made with the supervisor to accommodate time for studying and exams.
Students are required to report for work promptly at assigned times and be prepared to begin working immediately.
Students who cannot make it work due to illness should notify their supervisor as soon as possible or have a friend or roommate make the call.
Other Absences/Substitutions
All student workers are advised in advance of their schedule for the entire semester, so there should be no absences (other than illness) without prior approval. If a circulation student worker is unable to work on a particular day, they must:
1 – get permission from the supervisor of the shift that will be missed,
2 – contact co-workers to find a replacement and give the name of that student to the supervisor,
3 – or if a replacement cannot be found, the student must work or get permission from the
supervisor to be absent.
Make-up time
Students who need to make up time must arrange this with their supervisor.
A paper timesheet is filled out by all student workers. Only timesheets that have been filled in, initialed by a supervisor, and signed and dated can be processed for payment.
Annual Raises
Eligible students receive a pay increase at the beginning of their 3rd, 5th, and 7th semesters of working in the library.
Public Contact
Most positions in the library involve some contact with the public. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a polite and helpful manner and to uphold library policies and procedures which are available on the library website. Students should familiarize themselves with these policies to ensure that information given to patrons is accurate. If there is a problem with a particular patron get assistance from a library staff person.
Under state law, all transactions are private and confidential. No information about accounts or transactions may be given out for any reason. If a student receives a request for such information, he/she should notify the supervisor on duty immediately. Any breach of confidentiality may result in immediate termination.
Dress Code
Although there is no specific dress code, students are expected to dress in a manner appropriate to their position.
Work Area
Student employees are not permitted to work in unsupervised offices or outside of the normal working hours for their area of employment. Since normal working hours are different in each department, students should clarify this with her/his supervisor.
Students are not permitted to use offices or office computers for personal work.
If a student is deemed negligent in any of her/his responsibilities, the supervisor will discuss this with the student. Should the problem persist, warning letters will be issued. The third (3) warning letter a student receives within one academic year, will be her/his notice of termination from Library and Information Services employment.
Grounds for immediate dismissal include but are not limited to dishonesty, falsifying timesheets, breach of confidentiality or conduct that is unethical or injurious to the college or to members of the college community.

Salsa teacher Rita Maldonado will be on hand to teach "the kind of salsa that comes from the heart," organizers said in a news release. Maldonado has been a salsa teacher for six years and dances and teaches "a number of Latin rhythms that are currently the rage on both coasts," organizers said.
"Watching her dance," says Rob Kerchen, "awakens the kind of excitement, ... well, you begin to see what dancing is really about."
Maldonado's passion for music and movement grew from her cultural roots in the Dominican Republic, the birthplace of Bachata. She even dances the popular upbeat reggaeton.
"Rita is the real deal," said Moab resident Candace Butterworth. "I can't believe someone like her is actually here in Moab."
The first hour of the event will feature a group lesson on the basics of salsa, followed by an evening of dance. Those who attend will have the opportunity to learn salsa dance, merengue, some bachata introductions and perhaps a bit of Latin-style cha cha, organizers said.
The Moab Salsa Club will also offer a series of salsa classes in the coming weeks, according to the news release. The classes will be open to the public.

To celebrate the 20th International Bog Day on Sunday 31st of July, we are highlighting some of the amazing species that call the beautiful bog their home, and why they are such important habitats to preserve. They may have a bit of a bad reputation, but bogs are important ecological sites sustaining a unique array of species.
Adaptations to a nutrient-poor habitat
Bogs are often low oxygen, high carbon dioxide environments leading to acidic conditions. High acidity prevents nutrients being available to plants in a useful form and this has led to plants turning to more grisly methods to get the nutrients they need. These plants are able to break down and absorb nitrogen and other nutrients from animals, usually invertebrates such as insects. The sundew (Drosera anglica) lures insect prey to sweet sticky secretions on tentacle-like leaves. When an insect such as this common blue damselfly becomes trapped, the leaves slowly curl up and the sundew secretes enzymes which then digest the helpless insect.
Also found in boggy areas, the fanged pitcher plant (Nepenthes bicalcarata) produces nectar which attracts invertebrates to the brim of its pitcher. When stepping on the slippery, waxy surface the invertebrates will often fall into the depths of the pitcher. Unable to escape, they drown in the pitcher fluid and their bodies are broken down by digestive enzymes.
The common butterwort (Pinguicula vulgaris) is yet another example of a carnivorous boggy plant, attracting insects to its leaves with a sticky sweet substance. Once trapped, the leaf slowly curls up and the insect is digested.
Safe Haven
The Critically Endangered bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) inhabits swamps, sphagnum bogs and marshy meadows of the eastern United States. Finding safety on muddy ground, the bog turtle will burrow into the mud when alarmed. Perhaps this species is the inspiration behind the sewer-dwelling Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Wealth of colour
Contrary to popular belief, bogs aren't dull and dreary. Prevalent on peat bogs, sphagnum mosses provide a carpet of colour. For example the Baltic bog moss (Sphagnum balticum) can form large floating mats of green and orange. The bog asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum) is another vibrant bog-dwelling plant. It has bright yellow star-like flowers which were once used as a hair dye. The bogbean (Menyanthes trifoliata) can be found throughout most of Europe, with it's delicate white flower brightening boggy areas.
So why is there a need for an International Bog Day? Boggy habitats are becoming rarer and rarer as they are increasingly being drained, dredged, filled or flooded, for urban development, agriculture, and pond and reservoir construction. Bogs are an important habitat for many specialised species, and they certainly deserve protecting and a day of recognition.

Poor Watson, a smart guy fated to look dim next to his brilliant best friend, Sherlock, and often underused on screen the way Robert Sean Leonard is as Wilson on House (as the series' creator has often said, Wilson is Watson to House's Holmes). The bright twist in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is that Jude Law's devoted yet savvy Watson is at least as important as Robert Downey's smartass Holmes.
Guy Ritchie's sequel to his 2009 hit Sherlock Holmes can't bring the same surprise, but it is every bit as much fun, mirroring the formula that worked so well: a popcorn detective movie in Victorian clothes, with high-tech action and a splash of droll humor. This time the bromance is so prominent that when danger arrives on Watson's wedding day, it's Watson and Sherlock who go on the honeymoon.
The plot – never much more than an excuse in action-buddy movies – has the pair traveling the world and shooting at villains like proto-James Bonds. They begin in London, where Holmes hosts a misbegotten bachelor party for Watson. (Of course the party's pathetic; why would Sherlock celebrate something he dreads?) At the club, they encounter a gypsy played by Noomi Rapace (the original Girl With the Dragon Tattoo), whose ties to anarchists lead them on to France and Switzerland, by train, horse and pony, grabbing every opportunity to swing from chandeliers, toss people from moving trains, take deadly gunshots at close range and from a distance.
The ultimate villain here is Moriarty (Jared Harris), whose plan for world domination intentionally echoes contemporary blood-for-oil schemes and Wall Street power grabs. The 21st century frisson has always been a key to Ritchie's reinvented Holmes, but the sequel has fewer contemporary lines, which makes them even more distracting. "No pressure," Holmes says about his chance to save Western civilization from Moriarty.
The villain is smart enough to know that the way to hurt Holmes is to go after Watson; Sherlock must defeat Moriarty to save his best friend. But it is the sheer glee of their last shared case – surely Watson will settle down as a married man – that gives the film its emotional underpinning. Downey and Law play this effectively as Holmes and Watson against the world, like Butch and Sundance but with more explosives and a few Sherlock-invented toys.
The franchise depends, of course, on Downey's brilliantly sly portrayal, dragging Sherlock into the present and winking without seeming to wink. One of Sherlock's clever inventions is the "urban camouflage" suit, a painted bodystocking that lets him fade into the Victorian potted plants or flowered upholstery. It's Downey's arched expression when he steps away from the background that makes this more than a creaky sight gag.
And Law lets Watson come to the forefront – challenging Sherlock's obtuseness, playing action hero himself, displaying a strong-willed yet likable personality – without letting us forget that Watson knows he's there to help his more-brilliant partner.
As this company reimagines the characters, they get great support from Kelly Reilly as Watson's wife, Mary, who is even more patient with Sherlock then Watson himself. And best of all Stephen Fry delivers a thoroughly delicious performance as the other Holmes, Sherlock's supercilious diplomat brother, Mycroft. Among other improbabilities, the film gives Fry a (thankfully comic) near-nude scene.
Through it all, Sherlock Holmes never slows down. In a season loaded with portentous awards-bait, it is a joyful and sparkling escape.

text: Allison Kuklok named Assistant Professor of Philosophy News Home 08.08.13 By: Buff Lindau Allison Sara Kuklok, who earned her doctorate in philosophy from Harvard University in June of 2013, has been named Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Saint Michael's College, starting this semester. Kuklok, a resident of Winooski, wrote her dissertation on the British philosopher John Locke whose work is said to lie at the foundation of modern philosophical empiricism and political liberalism. Her dissertation title is "Conceptualism and Objectivity in Locke's Account of Natural Kinds." Her areas of specialization are Early Modern Philosophy, as well as Kant, Metaphysics, and Moral and Political Philosophy. Kuklok earned her bachelor's degree in philosophy, summa cum laude, from Wellesley College, where she earned a 3.9 GPA and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. Academic & Teaching Awards Kuklok was awarded the Graduate Society Dissertation Completion Fellowship at Harvard, 2012-13, the Martin Prize Fellowship from the Harvard Philosophy Department, 2011-12, the Andrew Mellon Fellowship in Humanistic Studies, 2002-03, and First Prize, Three Generations Writing Competition, Wellesley, 2000. She was twice the recipient of the Bok Center Teaching Certificate of Excellence and Distinction in Teaching, Harvard, 2008, 2009. Kuklok was teaching fellow for 11 different Harvard courses from 2006 to 2010. She gave five refereed presentations in 2012 in Bucharest, at Princeton, Dartmouth, Dalhousie University and at the American Philosophical Association, Eastern Conference. Her topic was "Strings, Physies, and Hogs' Bristles: Objective Kinds in Locke." Liberal arts colleges provide a unique community focused on student development As a Wellesley student, Kuklok came to believe in the liberal arts. "That experience was transformative," she said. "I think the small liberal arts college is unique, as a community devoted to your personal, intellectual, and spiritual development - I like being part of that community," she said. As a Harvard graduate student, Kuklok was also a Resident Tutor (in place of any RAs) in a cooperative residence hall for 32 undergraduates. "I got to know Harvard students who were developing as people, and got to know them intellectually. At a liberal arts college, that's what you do - help them develop in lots of ways." "In my research, I'm interested in the general question of the reality or mind-independence of the categories we find in natural language and the sciences, categories like human being, mammal, gold…do these categories reflect mind-independent facts, for instance, do the things we group together under a common name share the same essence? Contemporary philosophy," she said, "is skeptical about the notion of an essence, and skeptical that these categories are anything more than artifacts of language and the way that we happen to organize our knowledge of the world. In my dissertation I consider one famous answer to that question - John Locke's - and argue that Locke believed that things do share common essences, and independently of how we categorize the world." Other interests Kuklok, an avid fan of mystery novels, is also delighted that she is now able to have two kittens as pets - Mars and Margo. She also enjoys running, biking and hiking, and plans to get back into skiing. And she plans to increase her cooking expertise, now that she is no longer living and working in the residence halls, where meals cooked by students were provided.

Don't bring logic to the table with Wilson backers.
Everything good that happens = Wilson did it.
Everything bad = His OL, Darrell Bevell, the WR's, the temperature of Lake Washington, etc etc etc.

The impact felt at the ground-level from our troops involved in same-sex marriages is gaining some high-level attention. On Friday of last week, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. issued this controversial letter to House Speaker John Boehner in response to the lawsuits filed this October in my home state of Massachusetts by the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. The letter serves to notify Congress that the Executive Branch has determined the provisions excluding same-sex spouses from receiving military benefits to be unconstitutional.
With the state-level advances towards marriage equality we've already seen this month – New Jersey's State Assembly and Washington state, who both passed bills in favor of gay marriage, as well as the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that declared California's "Prop. 8" unconstitutional – there are some who believe the DoD might be the key to achieving the same results nation-wide, and they might be right. The importance of marriage equality resonates especially deep with gays and lesbians in the military. In addition to these victories, another case has been filed by former Army SGT. Tracey Cooper-Harris and her wife Maggie. If that name sounds familiar, it's because Battleland covered an earlier chapter of her story this past summer.
The lawsuit involving former SGT. Cooper-Harris – a decorated veteran who served honorably in OEF and OIF then separated from the military in 2003 – has been filed against the VA. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which has been linked to her service in the Army. Traditionally the VA will extend additional benefits to married couples for patients like Cooper-Harris, to help ensure the financial stability of the veteran and his/her spouse. In this veteran's case the marriage entitlements were denied.
The target of the Cooper-Harris suit is to declare the Defense of Marriage Act (commonly referred to as DOMA) unconstitutional. The law has outlined the federal definition of marriage as the union between one man and one woman since it was signed in 1996. In the eyes of the US Department of Veteran's Affairs, the federal law trumps any state-recognized same sex marriage and as a result they are unable to extend these two the same spousal benefits offered to other married couples, despite the fact that they are legally married in the state of California.
In a statement released by the Alabama based Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), who is representing the couple in court, former SGT. Cooper-Harris stated:
"I dedicated 12 years of my life to serving the country I love… I'm asking only for the same benefits the brave men and women who served beside me enjoy. By refusing to recognize our marriage, the federal government has deprived Maggie and me of the peace of mind that such benefits are meant to provide to veterans and their families."
Prior to the repeal of Don't Ask, those in favor of keeping the ban on gays serving in the military in effect argued that personnel issues would arise, and in a way they were right – albeit not in the manner they had originally anticipated. The foretold mass exodus of irate ground troops never happened (in fact military recruiting actually went up in the Oct-Dec quarter) and there has been no spike in sexual harassment. The only hiccup resulting from DADT repeal has been figuring out how to treat these men and women in uniform – at the risk of sounding redundant – uniformly. In the "one team, one fight" culture that exists within the military, it's odd to see one group treated different than another, and it usually doesn't go over well when that happens. Fixing a DoD-wide imbalance is a complicated process, especially when the letter of the law doesn't allow it.
Since the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, couples can now participate in state-sponsored same-sex marriages. The lack of federal recognition puts the couple in a difficult spot, especially if both partners are actively serving in the military. Normally, a married couple can apply for a "join spouse assignment", which greatly improves the couple's chances of being stationed together. Since the average military member experiences a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) approximately every three years, this offers a level of stability for families, especially those with kids. Without this option, it is nearly impossible for a military couple to PCS to the same geographic location.
For couples involving one military member, and one civilian, the hardships are just as harsh. Civilian spouses without a dependent's ID card can't get on base, which causes further complications for military members who are required to live in on-base housing. They are also excluded from enrolling in the military's Tricare program as a dependent, the way other spouses can, which means the responsibility of finding and paying for a parner's healthcare rests on the family.
The list of less obvious impacts digs even deeper below the surface. There have been instances where a close family member of a civilian spouse has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and the military has approved a humanitarian PCS for the entire family to be reassigned to a base closer to the ill family member in order to help care for them and be with them at the end of his/her life. A same-sex couple would not have this option if the ill family member was on the civilian's side of the family.
The hurdles of "separate but not equal" treatment faced by same-sex couples all across America are all too reminiscent of the now unthinkable discriminatory sentiments and policies faced by other minorities in the mid-1900s. The lack of options to help same-sex couples has the hands of commanders everywhere tied, and places a substantial burden on the shoulders of our troops in addition to the duties they already perform for this country. Heroes like SGT. Cooper-Harris have done their part to keep this country safe, and I don't think it's too much to ask for us to treat them with the same dignity and respect extended to the rest of our men and women in uniform.

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
Continue Reading Below
U.S. equities ticked up on Tuesday as traders eyed upbeat auto sales data and put a partial government shutdown behind them.
Today's Markets
As of 2:00 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 49.2 points, or 0.33%, to 15179, the S&P 500 gained 10.7 points, or 0.63%, to 1692 and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 34 points, or 0.9%, to 3805.
After a string of late-night legislation punting between the Senate and the House, the government officially went into shutdown mode at 12:00:01 a.m. ET. The Republican-controlled House would like to repeal or water down the Affordable Care Act. However, the Democratic-controlled Senate has little interest in changing President Barack Obama's hallmark legislation.
The partial shutdown was the first since 1996, and will furlough up to one million workers and halt a slew of non-essential services. The mood across world trading desks was a frustrated calm. Analysts were broadly uncertain about when exactly the government would open its doors again -- but also confident that the economic impact would be fairly minimal.
Peter Boockvar, chief market analyst at The Lindsey Group, pinned the muted reaction to two reasons: "1)The market believes the subsequent shutdown will be temporary and the eventual agreement will be wrapped up with a debt ceiling deal in the weeks to come and 2)the Fed won't be tapering any time soon with the now GDP risk (however moderate) from the partial close of the government."
Still, Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG, told clients the market maker is becoming "increasingly nervous" about the prospects of breaching the debt ceiling on October 17.
"As is commonly accepted, the budget debate is small potatoes when compared to the seriousness that is the debt ceiling and the ramifications if that debate is not handled in a more orderly manner," he warned.
Wall Street also got a stronger-than-expected report on the manufacturing sector and broadly upbeat auto-sales data on the day.
Ford's (NYSE:F) U.S. sales jumped 6% in September, compared to expectations they would remain unchanged Chrysler saw its sales rise 1% in September from the year, surprising analysts who were expecting sales to dip.
The Institute for Supply Management's gauge of manufacturing activity rose in September to 56.2 from 55.7 in August, surprising economists who expected the metric to fall to 55. It was the highest reading since April 2011.
The Commerce Department won't send out the construction spending report due to the government shutdown.
Elsewhere in corporate news, Merck (NYSE:MRK) said it plans on slashing 8,500 jobs by 2015 in the process of cutting $2.5 billion in expenses.
In commodities, U.S. crude oil prices fell 37 cents, or 0.35%, to $101.97 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline slid 0.7% to $2.61 a gallon. Gold slumped $23.80, or 1.8%, to $1,303 a troy ounce.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 gained 0.49% to 2907, the English FTSE 100 dipped 0.41% to 6436 and the German DAX climbed 0.46% to 8634.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 gained 0.2% to 14485.

Hi everyone...
In the AntiOnline Member Photo Gallery, there a is a bar with links from #-Z at the top of the page, which enables a user to browse member photos in an alpha-numeric process.
However, whenever i click on a particular letter, i am taken to the original page that i started on (which is a page that displays the photos of !^-PREDATOR-^!, (V)/\><, etc.) Clicking on for example 'C' or 'T' should have taken me to a new page with members whose username starts with 'C' or 'T'.
Does anyone else experience this problem?

Mazen Fahme needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 66 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
Australian College of Arabic
The Australian College of Arabic is the first institution of its kind in Australia. For the first time ever in Australia, people can learn classical Arabic in a professional, structured environment. Launching in January 2011, our teachers are very qualified and will be flying in from all around the world to take part in the establishment of such as unique project.
We are trying to make the Arabic language very accessible, and the most innovative, professional and exciting methods of teaching will be used. Our campus will be very modern and suitable for a learning environment.
There is a very big market in Australia! We are targeting two types of people:
1. Arabs who have lost their Arabic tongue and would like to regain it
2. Non-Arabs who will like to learn a new language
Our target is adults. They are generally people who are busy with work, families and study.
Our target is looking for professionalism and quality education.
We are looking for an exciting logo. We want to look professional, but we don't want to look like a bank or accounting firm. We want to be unique.
The name of the company is "Australian College of Arabic". It is abbreviated as "ACA", but we would rather use the whole name because it is a new organisation.
A really excellent logo for us would actually have the arabic name as well. This is not a must, but it would be a bonus. What is more important is that it looks clean and unique.
The arabic name is: الكلية الأسترالية لتعليم العربية
We are not fussed about colour.
Thanks so much for working on this brand. We look forward to your designs.
