"The Many Faces of Goya" Film and Discussion Series Begins October 23
For Immediate Release
October 09, 2008
"The Many Faces of Goya" film and lecture series at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute begins with Goya's Ghosts on Thursday, October 23, at 7 pm. Each film in the series will be preceded by an introduction about the artist's life; following the screening is an opportunity to discuss the artist and the film. Admission to the series is free.
In Goya's Ghosts (2006, 114 min., rated R), director Milos Forman tries to recapture the Hapsburg magic of Amadeus, turning his attention to Spain in the same era, and portraying Goya as eyewitness to the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition and the Napoleonic occupation. Stellan Skarsgaard plays Goya, whose role as painter gives him an inside view of history in the making, with the changes embodied in characters played by Javier Bardem and Natalie Portman. Michael Cassin, director of the Center for Education in the Visual Arts at the Clark, will comment on the portrait of the artist.
The series continues with Goya (1971, 134 min., in German with English subtitles, not rated), presented in cooperation with the Center for Foreign Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at Williams College, on November 6. The film will be introduced by Barton Byg, teacher of German and film at UMass Amherst and founding director of the DEFA Film Library. November 20 will conclude the series with Goya in Bordeaux (1999, 105 min., in Spanish with English subtitles, rated R) with Mark Ledbury, associate director of the Research and Academic Program at the Clark leading the discussion.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Lecture capture and presentation recording
University of Montana faculty, staff and students may use Camtasia Relay to produce multimedia recordings of lectures and presentations. The Camtasia Relay Recorder software, downloadable from the website, allows the presenter to capture the computer screen, along with vocal narration. The recording may be saved as a podcast or videocast depending on which profile is selected. Camtasia Relay is installed in UM's multimedia classrooms but can also be downloaded on individual computers.
Recordings may be placed automatically in iTunesU (recommended) or used manually in a number of different scenarios. iTunesU is recommended for the storage and presentation of your academic recordings - especially if you are new to screen recording / videocasting. Recording in Camtasia for a UM iTunesU account provides the most automatic, hands-off approach. Camtasia does the processing and uploading for you and iTunesU monitors whether only enrolled students or the public can see the recordings. (Other options are discussed in the Advanced section.)
Complete steps for lecture capture can be found on the Camtasia Relay setup page and for iTunesU course page editing on the iTunesU pages.
For additional assistance or information, please contact Adam Carroll at 243-4875, Janet Sedgley at 243-5452 or Randy Gottfried at 243-2857. (Additionally or alternatively, if you wish to create screencasts or videos with high production values, you may wish to consider the work of UMOnline's team and their Innovation Studio.)

Several campsites and cabins are closing down in areas thought to be at greatest risk for falling boulders. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
Yosemite National Park is shuttering cabins, campsites and other structures in areas found to be at greatest risk of boulders crashing down.
In a statement released Thursday, the park said it made the decision after a new study for the first time delineated "a rockfall hazard line" in the Yosemite Valley.
Eighteen more cabins will be off limits in Curry Village, where in 2008 the equivalent of 570 dump trucks of boulders from the 3,000-foot-tall Glacier Point hit 18 cabins and sent visitors fleeing for their lives. The park closed 233 of the 600 cabins in the village after the scare, and later relocated 125. The 18 closed Thursday will be relocated to safer areas as well.
Other areas impacted include:
- Two employee dorms and parts of three others will close, forcing the park to move 30 staff and worsening a critical housing shortage;
- Eight campsites at Camp 4, a $5-a-night bargain near El Capitan used mainly by climbers, will be relocated nearby;
- The LeConte Memorial, which includes a library and educational site, as well as the Curry Village Amphitheater will host fewer programs.
The park expected the decision would "reduce the overall risk ... by 95 percent."
Park spokesman Kari Cobb emphasized to msnbc.com that the park is "fighting against" erroneous news reports suggesting that park areas are being closed off to hikers. It's the structures and campsites, not the recreational areas, being impacted, she said.
National Park Service
Rockfalls confirmed in the Yosemite Valley between 1857 and 2009.
The greatest rockfall dangers are within 180 feet of the base of the cliffs, the study concluded, while adding that there is also a 10 percent chance a potentially deadly boulder will fall outside of the zone every 50 years.
The Yosemite Lodge and the Ahwahnee Hotel are not located in the danger zone.
Laser mapping was used to create the first detailed look at the valley's towering cliffs, which ultimately could lead to identifying which ones are most vulnerable to rockfalls.
After the 2008 fall, the Associated Press reported that while Yosemite officials were aware of earlier studies showing Glacier Point was susceptible to rock falls they did not warn visitors and repaired and reused rock-battered cabins.
Cobb noted that damaged cabins had been repaired since the park's early years and that since 2006, when Yosemite's first geologist was hired, "we have never intentionally left open cabins or other high visitor use areas that we know to be susceptible to higher probability of rockfall."
"It is impractical to put signs at every location that may pose a risk to visitors," she added. "We are surrounded by 3,000 foot granite cliffs that actively experience rockfall about once per week at different locations. The most we can do is educate visitors and provide them safe accommodations while they are staying here."
Aug. 27, 2009: A tourist captured video of a rockslide in Yosemite National Park that forced the evacuation of the Ahwahnee Hotel. No injuries were reported.
Rockfalls in and around Curry Village have killed two people and injured two dozen since 1996, the AP stated. Since officials began keeping track in 1857, 15 people have died throughout the valley and 85 have been injured from falling rocks.
More than 900 rockfalls have been documented at Yosemite, the park stated.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

"This Way to Better Media"
"This way to better media," read the floor sign directing people through a skyway to the Minneapolis Convention Center. Thousands of people gathered there for the fourth National Conference for Media Reform, hosted by freepress.net. They came from all walks of life and all ages to address a central crisis in our society: our broken media system. I was one of the invited speakers.
"Obama Strikes a Chord With a Disaffected Republican"
David Iglesias is an evangelical, Hispanic Republican—yes, that one, the former U.S. attorney for New Mexico—and he has positive things to say about Barack Obama.
"Utah Phillips Has Left the Stage"
"Utah" Phillips died this week at the age of 73. He was a musician, labor organizer, peace activist and co-founder of his local homeless shelter. He also was an archivist, a historian and a traveler, playing guitar and singing almost forgotten songs of the dispossessed and the downtrodden, and keeping alive the memory of labor heroes like Emma Goldman, Joe Hill and the Industrial Workers of the World, "the Wobblies," in a society that too soon forgets.
"Presidential Race Ignores Arms Race"
As the U.S. presidential race continues, so does the arms race worldwide. People—civilians, children—are being killed and maimed, on a daily basis, by unexploded cluster bombs and land mines. Thousands of nuclear missiles remain at hair-trigger alert. The U.S. government rattles its saber at Iran, alleging a nuclear-weapons program, while at the same time offering enriched uranium to Saudi Arabia.
"Whistle-Blower Points to Target List in U.S. Attack on Hotel"
A veteran of Army intelligence has shed new light on the military's 2003 shelling of the Palestine Hotel, a Baghdad home to many journalists, including two who were killed by that attack.
"The U.S. War on Journalists"
Sami al-Haj is a free man today, after having been imprisoned by the U.S. military for more than six years. His crime: journalism. Targeting journalists, the Bush administration has engaged in direct assault, intimidation, imprisonment and information blackouts to limit the ability of journalists to do their jobs. The principal target these past seven years has been Al-Jazeera, the Arabic television network based in Doha, Qatar.
"Ticker Tape Ain't Spaghetti"
Food riots are erupting around the world. Behind the hunger, behind the riots, are so-called free-trade agreements, and the brutal emergency-loan agreements imposed on poor countries by financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund.
"The Single-Payer Solution"
As the media coverage of the Democratic presidential race continues to focus on lapel pins and pastors, America is ailing.
"The Orangeburg Massacre"
Sen. Barack Obama is clearly a bad bowler. But it was not too long ago that African-Americans were not allowed in some bowling alleys. In Orangeburg, S.C., three young African-American men were killed for protesting against that town's segregated bowling alley.
"A Torture Debate Among Healers"
The American Psychological Association is in the midst of its own heated presidential campaign. The central issue is whether APA members should be banned from participating in "harsh interrogations."
"Where Do We Go From Here?"
It has been 40 years since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., while standing on the balcony outside his room at the Lorraine Motel. King was there to support striking sanitation workers, African-American men who endured horrible working conditions for poverty wages. While King's staff was opposed to him going, as they were scrambling to organize King's new initiative, the Poor People's Campaign, King himself knew that the sanitation workers were at the front lines of fighting poverty.
"Body of War"
We just passed the grim milestone of 4,000 U.S. military members killed in Iraq since the invasion five years ago. Still, the death toll climbs. Tomas Young was one of those injured, on April 4, 2004, in Sadr City. Young is the subject of a new feature documentary by legendary TV talk-show host Phil Donahue and filmmaker Ellen Spiro, called "Body of War."

"Winter Soldier Marches Again"
Last weekend, in the lead up to the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, a remarkable gathering occurred just outside Washington, D.C., called Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan, Eyewitness Accounts of the Occupations. Hundreds of veterans of these two wars, along with active-duty soldiers, came together to offer testimony about the horrors of war, including atrocities they witnessed or committed themselves.

As Goes Vermont
While the Iraq war is off the front pages, and Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama embark on what may well be a scorched-earth primary battle against each other, let's keep our eye on where the real scorched earth lies: who profits and who dies.
Clinton proclaimed in her victory speech in Ohio on March 4, after winning three of the four primary contests that day, "as goes Ohio, so goes the nation." She should take note, however, of how goes Vermont. That state might be a better bellwether, especially concerning the U.S. quagmire in Iraq.
Hours After Jeremy Scahill Exposé, Clinton Proposes Military Contractor Ban
Hours after Democracy Now! correspondent Jeremy Scahill revealed Barack Obama would not "rule out" using private military companies like Blackwater Worldwide in Iraq, Hillary Clinton announced she would co-sponsor a measure to ban the use of Blackwater and other private military firms.
Taxi to the Dark Side
On the Sunday following Sept. 11, 2001, Vice President Dick Cheney told the truth. On NBC's "Meet the Press," he said regarding plans to pursue the perpetrators of that attack: "We have to work the dark side, if you will. We're going to spend time in the shadows."
The grim, deadly consequences of his promise have, in the intervening six years, become the shame of our nation and have outraged millions around the world. President George Bush and Cheney, many argue, have overseen a massive global campaign of kidnapping, illegal detentions, harsh interrogations, torture and kangaroo courts where the accused face the death penalty, confronted by secret evidence obtained by torture, without legal representation.

This even-keeled moisturizer is designed to keep your skin balanced (read: not too dry, not too oily). Ideal for all skin types, the all-natural formula hydrates without clogging pores, and it dries to a matte finish (so you don't have to worry about break-outs or forehead shine).
Purchased the full sized products after the sample ran out (although slightly overpriced). Can use liberally without causing the oily sensation provided by some thicker face creams. Great, subtle smell as well. Definitely recommend.
I got this for my bf for xmas, and he actually uses it everyday! He is as low maintenance as they come...so I highly recommend if for anyone with a quick, simple routine who needs a good moisturizer.
Benta Berry Super Moisturizing Face Cream for Men is my night and day cream. I apply it at night and in the morning for that smooth skin feeling.
I appreciate the fact that you don't need very much of this lotion to hydrate your face: a small dab will do. Moreover, the lotion doesn't go on oily which is a huge plus because I really don't want a shiny face. I'm also a huge fan of the all-natural ingredients in the lotion.
One downside: I wish this product had a touch of sunscreen for those bright, sunny days.
The texture of this moisturizer is very similar the nuxe I use. It is a good moisturizer for your face that does what it's supposed to.
I loved every aspect of this face cream, except for the fact that is just sat too heavily on my skin for day use. Certainly hydrating, but felt very thick and greasy. Because of that, perhaps it would be better suited as an overnight cream?
I have to admit I was a little hesitant to try this product as I assumed it smelled like berries. Was I ever wrong! It has not scent that I notice and is the best thing I've ever put on my face! Seriously, I can instantly see a difference and my face looks smoother and definitely feels softer. Exactly what you would want in a facial moisturizer.
This moisturizer is not too greasy or oily and spreads evenly. It didn't cause any breakouts or acne and seemed to do a nice job on my dry skin. The only thing I didn't really care for was the scent, which seemed a little musty.
I love this moisturizer - it's really light, it dries quickly, and the smell is delightful without being overpowering. Keeps my skin from being dry without leaving it shiny.
Keeps my skin balanced, smells great as well! I use both day and night. I have oily skin and it keeps it matte. It will be interesting to see if it keeps up nice summer comes.
This moisturizer by Benta Berry is excellent! It perfectly balances my skin, which is combination. It does take a while for the product to get absorbed, but it is not too heavy and you can feel it moisturizer your face all day long. Will definitely purchase. Thanks Birchbox!

Cover Story: Pump Talk
Look who's talking now... the gas pump?
"We wanted to make a system that was hands-free and could deliver as much information to fleet management as possible," he says. "To do that, we needed a system that ties in directly to the vehicle's onboard computers and provides the same fueling services the fleet is accustomed to."
As a precursor to the upgrade, the City of Madison system began with an in-house hardware installation for each of the vehicles in the city fleet. City maintenance personnel installed electronic rings inside the fueling port of the vehicle. Attachments to the ring tie directly into the vehicle's Onboard Diagnostic Computer.
Following completion of the vehicle installation, E.J. Ward's technical department arrived in Madison in early May 2007 to complete installation of the hardware suite to each the city's four fueling stations.
According to Michael Price, field representative for E.J. Ward, the new hardware in wired directly into the existing fuel pumps, and draws power from the existing power supply. In the case of Madison's Badger Road fleet fueling station, the result is a shiny new metering unit grafted onto a somewhat battered old gas pump. Despite the strange appearance of old mixed with new, there's a purpose to this type of installation.
"They stopped making these pumps over twenty years ago," Price says, "but we can put our units on just about anything. If you've got a solenoid and a pulser on it, we can control it.
"This saves the customer from having to run conduit and dig up the ground and trench everything out," he explains. "It's wired into the pump's power, and then we use radio to relay the information to the server."
"The fueling nozzle has a 'black box' that interfaces with the ring installed in the vehicle," explains VandenBrook. "Information stored in the vehicle's diagnostic computer is transmitted to the computer in the nozzle and then is uploaded to the maintenance computers via an Internet connection."
Price adds that the system can work even without a radio connection to fleet's central server. He recalls an installation for Caltrans, a northern California transit service, that involved a single isolated fuel pump that was miles from the nearest fleet facility. The reader that E.J. Ward installed on this pump stored all the vehicle information on a flash card, and technician from the nearest maintenance facility drives out to the pump and swaps out the card every week. Once the card is back at the shop, the vehicle information is downloaded and put to use.
A typical fueling process begins as the operator pulls the vehicle into the service station. While the vehicle is running throughout the day, data is constantly being uploaded to the vehicle's onboard diagnostic computer. When the vehicle is shut down and the nozzle is inserted for fueling, the ring in the fuel port downloads information from the vehicle's computer and transmits it into the 'black box' on the fuel pump.
"The ring in the fuel port authorizes the correct fuel to flow from the pump and will stop flow once the desired quantity is reached," says VandenBrook. "For us, the biggest benefit is that the operator doesn't have to fumble with magnetic cards or try to remember mileage. The operator just has to pull up to the pump and gas up the vehicle."
"Information transmitted to the pumps includes engine time, idle time, oil levels, diagnostic codes, fuel consumption, engine faults and engine mileage," notes Featherston. "The data is then directly fed into the maintenance system and if problems exist with the engine or if the vehicle comes due for any periodic maintenance; the system will alert the fleet management real-time to the condition."
According to VandenBrook, this instant access to information, transmitted to fleet headquarters via an automatic e-mail, could prove to be invaluable if a serious maintenance issue exists.
The City of Madison is convinced technology of this sort will greatly ease their operations in the future. But the overlap of technology still has the potential to have its glitches, however small.
For instance, not all vehicles in the fleet have Onboard Diagnostic Computers compatible with the new system.

text: About a year or two ago I set out to make a mmo-ish third/first person role playing game after my favorite game of that type (believe it or not) went down. I've gone though countless races and settings. My latest design basically takes place on an alien world and the main races are human, robotic, and an odd alien race I personally made up. I'm all out of ideas so does anyone else have a few? I don't plan to use any directly but I need a bit of help getting started on a better race set and basic setting. I have the programming tools, the engine, the modeling software, and the network library I want to use and I have about siz years of mmo specific knowledge under my belt. Plue I'm not aiming for a AAA game here. I just need an idea.

Bromelioideae (bro-meel-ee-oy-dee-ee) This sub-family contains the largest number of genera. All members of the Bromelioideae have two distinguishing characteristics that, together, help distinguish them from other sub-families. They have spines on the margins of the leaves, they vary in size, and all have a fleshy fruit (berry) that remains on the plant for a long time.
Tillandsioideae (til-land-see-oy-dee-ee) This sub-family contains only seven (7) genera, but it accounts for almost one-half of all known bromeliads. The most common genus, Tillandsia, has over 400 species; Vriesea has more than 250 species. These bromeliads are spineless and have soft leaves (most vrieseas and some tillandsias). Seeds are appendaged with silky feather-like parachutes, enabling them to be disbursed by wind. These seeds are slow to germinate.
Pitcairnioideae (pit-cairn-ee-oy-dee-ee) This sub-family contains the oldest and most primitive forms of the family. Many are terrestrial or saxicolous (growing on rocks), spiny, rugged plants, sometimes thriving in barren soil or on bleak mountainsides. Flowers are spreading or tubular and seeds are winged. The most popular members of this family are Dyckia, Hechtia, Pitcairnia, and Puya.
Click here for a photo album of bromeliad genera in cultivation at Selby Gardens.
DEVELOPMENT OF PLANT NAMES: Latin being the international language in the early 1700's, it was decided that every plant should have a universal Latin name. A generic name (genus) it put first, and a specific name (species) follows it. The genus name corresponds to a person's family name (Jones) and the species name to his first name (John). Example: Tillandsia utriculata.
POTTING: Epiphytic bromeliads need to be potted in a porous mix, because their roots are used primarily for holding the plant upright. Good aeration and drainage are vital. A sample mix could be one part each of:
- cypress mulch
- pine bark mulch
- peat moss with trace elements added
Terrestrial bromeliads can be potted in almost the same mix, with a small addition of gravel or sand to prevent the roots from becoming too wet. They do well planted in the garden area, too.
PROPAGATION: A pup or offset that is four inches tall or about 1/4 to 1/3 the size of the parent plant is a good size for removal. A plant produced in this manner will be very similar to the mother plant. Crossing two plants of the same species to produce seed is the other method of propagation, and crossing two plants of different species (when possible) will produce hybrids.
WATERING: This is an important part of growing plants and the most difficult one to generalize about. Humidity, potting media, air circulation, and temperature play important parts in the watering cycle. Plants having a cup should not be allowed to become empty. Roots need water, too.
FERTILIZER: Use a mimimum of fertlizer on most genera, very little on neoregelias,and a moderate amount on vrieseas.
LIGHT: Most bromeliads thrive on filtered light. Some will do well in light shade -guzmanias, nidulariums, and vrieseas. A few grow best in direct sunlight.
Anther - the pollen bearing part of the flower
Banded - marked with crossbars or horizontal lines of color
Bigeneric - a cross between species of two different genera
Bract - a modified leaf associated with the flowering part of a plant, often colorful
Clone - plants derived vegetatively from one individual
Dioecious - male and female flowers on separate plants
Discolor - of two colors, or of a different color
Epiphyte - An air plant; a plant that grows on other plants, but is not a parasite
Farinose - covered with a mealy powder
Genus - a group of related species
Glabrous - smooth, glossy; without hairs or scales
Glaucous - covered with a removal waxy or powdery coating that gives the surface a whitish cast
Hybrid - a cross; a plant obtained by putting the pollen of one species on the stigma of another
Inflorescence - the part of the plant that holds or contains the flower or flower cluster
Offset - an offshoot; a plant arising close to the base of the mother plant; also, the plant that develops at the end of a stolon not rooted in the ground
Scales - minute flat absorbing organs through which many bromeliads obtain their water and nutrients; sometimes called "scuff"
Serrated - toothed; with teeth pointing forward
Species - subdivision of a genus; a set of individuals that are closely related by descent from a common ancestor and can reproduce with each other
Stolon - a shoot that bends toward the ground, developing a new plant at its tip; if it touches the ground, it takes root and starts a new plant
Terrestrial - plants growing in the ground
Xerophytic - growing in a dry situation and subsisting with a small amount of moisture

MANOR, Texas -- A violent threat at a Central Texas school has put one student in jail.
The Manor ISD says they take any threat very seriously, especially after the tragic school shooting in Connecticut. The 19-year-old Manor High School student was supposed to be suspended on Monday, but he showed up at school anyway. Staff told him to leave and he did, but then 15 minutes later, he came back and made some serious threats to administrators.
Deputy Superintendent Russell Wallace says the Manor ISD staff are trained in emergency procedures on a regular basis.
"We have plans and procedures in place, and we feel good about that," he said.
Those policies came in handy on Monday.
"No doubt about it, we take it very serious, very seriously," Wallace said.
Juan Becerra, 19, was arrested by a Travis County sheriff's deputy after causing a scene in the school cafeteria and yelling profanities at the staff. In the process he threatened the assistant principal saying, "You lucky I don't have a gun, and I'll come back and kill you."
Wallace said the situation is rare and any threat is always taken seriously.
"Everybody sits and thinks there is no way that will happen here. What happened in Connecticut proved that it can happen anywhere," Wallace said. "I'm not foolish enough to believe it can't happen in Manor ISD as well."
That's why Wallace is reviewing safety policies, and he plans to visit every Manor ISD campus in the coming months to revisit procedures with the staff.
"As an educator I can tell you the events prior to the holidays really hit home," he said. "If nothing else, it was an eye opener for the entire nation."
After their own situation Monday, Wallace says the district won't take any violence lightly.
"Even prior to school we have teachers assigned to monitor different positions, different places along campus. At this point in time we had a lot of people out, and we acted in a very quick manner."
The district says they have two resource officers from the Travis County Sheriff's Office that are on campus at the high school as well as hall monitors that are stationed throughout the school.
Becerra is currently being held at the Travis County Jail on a $15,000 bond.

The Third Place
Customers are always looking for places beyond home and work where they can go to escape or socialize—the so-called "third place." Retail venues such as restaurants and coffee concepts satisfy for the "third place" in many non-commercial operations. FSD takes a look at several successful examples of restaurants and coffee shops.
KU Dining at 30,100-student University of Kansas in Lawrence took advantage of a commercial restaurant moving out of the Kansas Union to get back in the "restaurant" business.
"When the restaurant decided not to come back, we weren't expected to fill the space, but we felt it was necessary," Alecia Stultz, assistant director of retail, says. "Spring is when a lot of instructor candidates come on campus. We felt they should have somewhere professors could take a candidate to talk without having to leave campus. So we started thinking about it, came back from winter break and in about a month we opened a restaurant, hence the name Impromptu Café."
Impromptu Café has 44 seats and features artwork by a local artist. Stultz says the concept is a casual dining experience that focuses on local produce, including herbs from the Union's rooftop herb garden.
"Lately we've featured a lot of local products, especially produce like tomatoes, green peppers and jalapeño peppers," Stultz says. "Impromptu's menu was developed completely by our executive chef. We have small plates such as a chipotle chicken cheese dip with tortilla chips, sandwiches such as a triple-decker club named after our campanile, salads and entrée-type items such as Caribbean chicken with mango-pineapple salsa. Then we have daily specials, which are usually the items that feature the local produce."
Stultz says the café is only open for lunch, but it's proved to be very popular with students, faculty and staff. Stultz says it was important to keep the price point down so the café would continue to attract students.
"We always try to bundle items and keep the feature of the day as a pretty good value," Stultz says. "You're able to go in, have a good meal and still get out of there spending $7 or $8."
Several of the KU Dining team came from restaurant backgrounds, which helped with the restaurant's quick turnaround.
"We were very lucky to have experience," Stultz says. "I come from a restaurant background, as did our executive chef, so we had an idea of what it was going to take. We knew we wanted to keep it small, but we wanted to make it diverse. As for advice I would say start small. Figure out who you're going to target.'"
Pub grub: At 4,200-student University of Richmond, dining services runs a successful pub called The Cellar, complete with table service, wine and beer. Dee Hardy, director of food and auxiliary services, says it was created to give students a late-night social space.
"We've had The Cellar for about 10 years, and when we first opened it was contrary to the trends to open a pub," Hardy says. "We serve pizza, gourmet burgers, sliders, wraps, paninis and pasta—all made to order. We are very residential and the majority of our students live on campus. Primarily 80% of our business is tied into the board plans, which are excepted at The Cellar. We also have a debit card on campus where the funds are not restricted to foodservice, they can be used anywhere, so we take that also."
Hardy says all on-campus retail venues, including The Cellar, run weekly promotions geared toward demonstrating value to students. Hardy says she has noticed a change in spending in the past year.
"I really think families are saying, 'you have this plan, you need to use it,'" Hardy says. "I've had calls in the last year that I've never had before— parents who are asking when and where we serve breakfast and where we are located compared to such and such because their son says it's too far to walk to breakfast. We've got consumers who are very concerned with value."
What's old is new again: Value is also a huge component of the new Café 4 at 329-bed St. Clair Hospital in Pittsburgh. Chris Vitsas, general manager for Cura Hospitality at the account, says keeping prices down was very important because the café was replacing a diner/snack shop that was known for its cheap meals.
"We had the old diner style in the past so [Café 4] is definitely modernized and updated," Vitsas says. "We have received a lot of great compliments from our external customers. Every weekend, the old snack shop was full of people from the community that just came for breakfast, and we still get a lot of those customers. The bottom line is we have a soup and half sandwich combo for $3.69. Where can you get that anywhere? Our pricing itself is what drives a lot of our sales."
Café 4 is right off the main entry of the hospital and Vitsas says it was designed to be place where hospital visitors could relax or get some work done while waiting for friends or family.
"The thought was this could be a place where someone could say, 'I have to come take my mother for a test so I can drop her off and grab a cup of coffee,'" Vitsas says. "We have a soft seating area with a Wi-Fi connection available, so they can get some work done."
The new café, which seats 32 and has an outside patio, features made-to-order options.
"The concept is everything fresh and made to order in front of you," Vitsas says. "If you go to the 'Salad by Design' area we have 27 salad toppings. You tell us what greens you want, whether its iceberg, mixed greens or romaine. Then from that point, you pick your own toppings and dressing and we put everything together for you. We also have a few pre-designed salads you can choose from. Then we have our fresh, housemade stock soups that rotate every day. We also have a deli sandwich area that features a few predesigned sandwiches such as a classic New York corn beef sandwich or a hot Italian panini. Or you can create your own sandwich from our fresh-baked bread, five different meat choices, cheese, condiments and choose whether you want it served hot or cold. It's a really nice area, and for people like me who might be a little picky, you can make my your own soup and salad or soup and half sandwich combos. We also serve pastries and breakfast sandwiches in the morning."
URBNMRKT: At the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, the last few years have seen major developments in restaurant options for the 33,000-student campus and the larger USC downtown community. The newest addition to USC's portfolio of restaurants, URBNMRKT, just opened this fall in a building a few blocks from the main campus. Kris Klinger, director of USC Hospitality, says despite the tough economy, the department decided to go ahead with the opening.
"URBNMRKT is basically sandwiches, salads, hot items and breakfast in a really unique space," Klinger says. "In light of the economy we still decided to move forward with the space and it's doing very well. You walk through and order your food and sit down. All items are made fresh to order. It has seating as well as being equipped for grab and go."
Some sample composed menu items from URBNMRKT include: an Asian noodle salad with stir-fried vegetables; a leafy greens salad with tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella; barbecue pork shoulder with crunchy slaw, mustard-glazed salmon with quinoa pilaf and herb salad; and a grilled vegetable wrap with sweet peppers and hummus. Klinger says his department hasn't been able to judge how the economy has affected its restaurants because they are all so new. However, the university recently had its first football game where all restaurants were open and Klinger says they had a successful day.
URBNMRKT is the newest in several successful restaurants USC has opened. The university's Restaurant Row consists of three restaurants in an area adjacent to campus [for more on restaurant row, see FSD of the Month, June 2009].
"We think one of the most important pieces of developing a restaurant is to really utilize the brand to help maintain those concepts and execute them at the highest level," Klinger says. "I think sometimes we forget to do that and then we see things drop off after a few months and we're not sure why. In this type of economy, it's critical that the brand is executed to the best of our ability. With retail, you really want to be aware about what's available to the students while they are at home. You want to provide something that they're familiar with but then also create signature items at each venue that folks will want to come back for. That's something we're trying to do with all our venues here."
Coffee is king: Even though high school students may have limited funds, students at 8,300-student Canyon (Texas) Independent School District still regard coffee has a necessary indulgence, according to Ken Robinson, foodservice director for Aramark at the district. A reality that the district's two high schools' Java City—Aramark's coffee concept—locations are happy to cater to.
"Most customers live within an allowance or budget, but they're going to be here every day and they're going to still have their favorites," Robinson says. "When you talk about the economy being in a downturn, it's the big purchases where you see a difference. We haven't seen drop off because of the economy, but we have experienced challenges because of Texas's stance on nutrition. Now our pastries are nonfat and we've implemented smaller portion sizes, which economically is an advantage to the customers."
The high schools' Java City locations function as full-service coffee shops. The menu includes hot and cold espresso beverages, fruit smoothies and pastries. During the meal hours, they offer salads, sandwiches, wraps and fruit parfaits.
"We took a section of our operation that was not being used and implemented a full-service coffee shop," Robinson says. "We turned it into another access point to serve our customers during high-volume times. It's been a great service for our customers. When implementing these locations, administrators and parents welcomed us with open arms because we educated everyone up front about how this was something the students wanted. Outside of school, students are hanging out at coffee shops, so having one at school is a cool thing for them."
Robinson says the two locations offer some value-based promotions to attract customers, such as a coffee punch card where if a student buys 10 items he or she get the 11th item for free. The locations also offer gift certificates for students or parents to buy if they want to give a special thank you to a teacher. Also, Java City often offers specialty drinks such as a cinnamon roll latte or a pumpkin latte.
"The biggest challenge for us is nutrition guidelines," Robinson says. "In Texas, they are getting tighter and tighter with how many grams of sugar per 100 calories they'll allow. We also have restrictions during the school service day that after the bell rings, we can only serve certain sizes of beverages. That's not as much of a problem because we have the short size, which is 12 ounces or less. The students only want to purchase the short during the school day anyway because it's hard to consume 16 ounces or more when you're trying to get to class."
Dare to drip: At 1,900-student Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Beth Gentry, general manager for Bon Appétit, says the campus' Colorado Coffee location noticed students were favoring regular coffee rather than espresso-based drinks, so they decided to start stocking a greater variety of drip coffees.
"I think it was more a drop off in customers that were faculty and staff," Gentry says. "The students still line up in the morning. I think they are going more for drip coffee. I've heard from people who say, 'I love my lattes, but now I only get it on Fridays as my treat.' So we're bringing in different kinds of drip coffee. We started seeing the move toward drip coffee in March so we expanded the kinds we had available from two or three to five. We try to use the place as an education tool to teach people about coffee and what happens in the coffee business."
Colorado Coffee sells coffee from a local roaster by the same name. The concept also features fruit smoothies and grab-and-go food options that change throughout the day.
"I think one of the things that has really made that location successful for us is the focus on coffee in the morning but also transitioning during the day," Gentry says. "Offering grab and go at a coffee location, you really need to know that timing is of the essence. In the morning, you have to have enough people to make coffee as quickly as possible and then at lunch it's more focused on sandwiches and salads. Being very time- of-day conscious is important."
Perks that work: At 4,200-student Lee University in Cleveland, Tenn., Sodexo's Jazzman's Café offers a Jazzman's perks card for frequent customers that offers discounts and surprise treats for guests.
"To be eligible for a frequent customer card, you have to buy one of our combos such as a coffee and a specialty muffin," Mike Nagorka, general manager for Sodexo at the university, says. "We feature a variety of different perks. We'll offer things like a free drink when you join, free syrups in your drinks, 50-cent refills or a free beverage if you buy ground or whole-bean coffee to take home. We just started this promotion this year so we currently have about 60 customers. One other thing we offer as a promotion is we have an improv creations board, where the baristas post their favorite beverages for that week as well as student-inspired drinks. We offer discounts on those items to push them, especially the barista favorites because they might be uncommon."
The Lee University Jazzman's Café is set up like an Internet café with Wi-Fi, eight computers and a printing service. The menu features the standard hot and cold beverages, smoothies, Chai teas and hot chocolate and freshly baked pastries such as muffins, scones and turnovers. There is also a deli case that offers freshly prewrapped sandwiches, salads, wraps, parfaits and, in the morning, an assortment of breakfast sandwiches, which are made fresh daily.
Coffee as art: At Pulse, the coffee concept at the University of Kansas, Stultz says they are always trying to come up with innovative promotions.
"We do a lot of things for Pulse," Stultz says. "We do a lot of buy a coffee, get a half-price pastry or vice versa. One cool thing we started was latte art. We had people asking if we could do foam art but it's hard to do a Jayhawk in foam. So we made a stencil of a Jayhawk head and our official KU logo. We use the stencils to make the either design with cinnamon or cocoa powder on the latte's foam. We have special events where between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m., every cup that comes out has latte art."
Stultz says they are also considering starting a coffee club where anyone could join and they would offer specials, but also use it as a way to gain feedback. Pulse has four locations on campus, all serving coffee from a local roaster made especially for Pulse.
"We did a cupping and engineered it ourselves," Stultz says. "We've tweaked it a lot. We've ended up with a pretty good medium roast, but it's not your average mass-produced coffee."
Another new initiative is a mini-catering program called Pick Me Ups.
"We were trying to answer a hole in our service for people who wanted catered items but didn't necessarily want all the bells and whistles associated with full catering," Stultz says. "So we decided to offer small catered items out of our Pulse locations. We offer things like a dozen bagels and cream cheese, coffee, muffins, etc. We started it last winter and it's been pretty successful."

Great Job!
Floral Essence Save the Date Cards So happy!! I would definately recommend this site!!1
nice cards
Floral Essence Save the Date Cards im happy with the product. Easy to assemble. Came with nice think envelopes lined with silver.
Beautiful Sets of Stationary
Dramatic Roses Save the Date Cards I loved being able to take a template design and make it my own with my wedding colors and favorite fonts. The quality is great, and was very impressed with the final product. I loved how they also sent me some sample cards and a color card. The color card is very helpful, as a lot of times the colors on the computer screen don't show up as the exact color that it would be on paper. I also loved how you could ask for sample cards in the template design you are most interested in, as it gave me a great idea of what to expect for the specific design I wanted. I also think it's great that MagnetStreet has many templates that have coordinating sets (save-the-dates, invites, thank you's, favors, etc). So far I've only ordered my save-the-dates, but will be ordering the invites, thanks you's enclosure cards, etc very soon!
Simplistic Rose Save the Date Cards I used this template to create a "Christmas" themed save the date and it worked out wonderfully!
Beautiful design and happy with my purchase
Antique Rose Save the Date Cards I'm so glad I went with MagnetStreet! We decided on the Antique Rose collection and it was more beautiful in person than I'd imagined. The colors are bright, and the paper is very study, so I have no worries about bending in the mail. Also, my delivery time was very short! I cannot say enough about this company and my elegant Save the Dates. I was also very happy that personalizing my cards was very easy as I am not very computer savvy.

"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and I am very happy with the result! The Ecru paper is very high quality and durable, and the thermography is so beautiful! I did my research by ordering a few samples first to figure out what paper and font I wanted, and I ended up with the perfect invitations!"
"This is a beautiful invitation. The design is simple and elegant while the paper stock was heavy enough to be formal and the thermography made the lettering and design slightly raised. I ordered these invites in a rush shipment and the they arrived within 1 week. I had navy blue printing which looked great on the invites and response cards. I also removed the line about the reception and replaced it with 2 lines referring to our wedding website - it worked perfectly and the designer made sure it all fit without being crammed. I highly recommend this invitation."
"These invitations exceeded my expectations. The quality is amazing! Such understated elegance. I highly recommend these invitations, and all other products on WeddingPaperDivas!"
"I would highly recommend using Wedding Paper Divas for several reasons; excellent quality (heavy paper, clear print, etc.), excellent customer service (assisted us to add parking and hotel information to reception cards), reasonable prices, delivered on time, easy to place order on line, great variety to choose from! We were thrilled to receive them...nicer than expected, and stunning in dark purple ink. When we ran out of envelopes (recommend ordering 25 extra!) they were happy to send us an additional ten envelopes ASAP and at no charge!!! Who does that? Enough said. Place your order with Wedding Paper Divas...you won't be disappointed!"
"we love our wedding invitation - they are simple, but very elegant! customer service was amazing and the delivery (to switzerland) super fast! thanks a lot!!"

Wednesday, April 23, 2014
Last week I picked up what I expect will be my last load of kindling for the cold season slipping away.
I loaded up at the local finish carpentry shop, where they let the unused, clean white strips of wood go for free, took the 8- to 10-foot lengths that could have served as barrel staves and snapped them across my leg into small enough pieces to fit in the back seat of the car. After five minutes, I had enough and hauled it all home.
Just planning for contingencies like days of rain and the cold damp.
But, like most people, I find my hopeful and more forgiving side emerges when the full warm sun of spring lingers into the evening and filters in through the curtains the next morning and again the morning after that -- like a promise that fails to materialize finally comes through.
I piled the yard-stick-like wood pieces on the wide step to the shed and thought simply, "There." I might have been thinking, "There, I'm done with this chore for the winter," or "There, I have enough kindling to hold out till the firewood is used up," or "There, I can't possibly need more than this before June."
But "there" alone was enough for a bright spring evening, and behind it was the comfort of knowing the heating bills would recede like a tide and the necessary concern about wood could be confined to the replacement pieces for the deck. It was the end-point punctuation for what turned out to be a long, battering winter now in retreat, though it's only been days, really.
A friend confessed last week that she hasn't recovered from the hard winter she put in up north on the coast in Washington County. "I still need more rest," she said, as though reading the sentiments in my own mind. But hers was an easy enough exercise in clairvoyance; I've been exhausted since the weekend it snowed for 42 hours straight before stopping and leaving behind a stilled, silent world of white.
I find my spirits are lifting, though, with the early signs of spring life -- the mayflies dipping into quirky circles of flight, fluttering erratically in the lightest wind; the first golden spiderlings swinging across my path to the cabin, landing and stopping only for a split-second before hurrying off on whatever mission it is that requires eight legs to complete; the dog distracted in the half-light and dust of day's end, intent in the brush and lawn again, hunting not prey but soft green grass like lettuce.
Everything is priceless in the fleeting season of the spring ephemerals, the woodland flowers that bloom for a minute or two in May and surrender their space at last to that enchanted Cinderella of the frail perennials, the lady's slipper, in June. Their names are mantra, anywhere, everywhere, across the continent, wherever folk suffer winter and long for spring: hepatica, wild lavender, white and yellow violets, wild strawberry, trout lily, bloodroot, marsh marigold, wood anemone, bluet, spring beauty, red and painted trillium, starflower, Dutchman's breeches, squirrel corn and jack-in-the-pulpit.
A friend from Michigan emails each spring to tell me when the trillium have emerged in her part of the Midwest, a phenomenon that is a more variable phenology since climate change has placed a stranglehold on nature's sense of timing and survival. But we will hang on to this tradition as long as we live, I know, because flowers are fate and faith for us, the resurrection of the dead and the life everlasting.

How to Apply
Policy & Law
Ticket to Work
If you receive SSDI or SSI, you will get a Ticket from the Social Security Administration. If you want to go to work, you can use this Ticket to get employment services from DVR. The goal of Ticket to Work is to help you go to work so that you will not need SSI or SSDI.
The webinar/video below is about an hour and a half long and is put out for Ticket to Work holders to understand the Ticket program better.
Work Incentives
Below are common work incentives that SSI/SSDI beneficiaries may qualify for if they are receiving SSI or SSDI due to their disability. However, eligibility for these incentives varies. If you have questions or want to know if you would qualify for one or more of the below incentives, please talk to your DVR counselor about receiving a benefit analysis.
PASS Plan
PASS stands for "Plan to Achieve Self Support". This program, if approved by Social Security, would allow you to save money from other incomes beside your SSI/SSDI check to pay for things needed to achieve your employment goal. View the links below for more information regarding the requirements and limitation of this work incentive.

IRWE stands for "Impairment Related Work Expenses". This program allows qualified individuals to subtract out work expense related to their employment from their wages before the wages are counted towards their benefit payment. Refer to the links below for more information regarding the requirements and limitations of this work incentive.
BOND stands for "Benefit Offset National Demonstration". This program is a trial program put out by Social Security to determine how to treat beneficiaries' cash earnings and to determine what level of benefit counseling appears to be most helpful in allowing beneficiaries to reach their highest level of independence. Please refer to the link below for more information regarding the requirements and limitations of this work incentive.

Long Beach, CA - January 15, 2013 - Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske today urged Long Beach City College Board of Trustees (LBCC) to continue to offer the Aviation Maintenance Program, which is scheduled for discontinuation this month.
"There are four major airports besides the Long Beach Airport in the area and approximately 40 smaller airfields in the region where graduates of this valuable program may find jobs from this training," says Schipske. "In such a difficult economic climate, it's critically important that our schools train people for good paying jobs such as aviation maintenance. If it's discontinued, I believe the majority of the program's students would have no alternative program."
The highly rated Aviation Maintenance Program at Long Beach City College is one of only seven offered in the entire state of California. The nearest programs available have two-year waiting lists or do not compare to the quality of LBCC's program.
"We have to think seriously about the types of jobs for which we are training our workforce. With the Long Beach Airport here, and our important place in the nation's aviation history, it makes sense that we maintain this highly ranked program." Schipske emphasized.
Long Beach City College District Board of Trustees meetings are held at the Liberal Arts Campus T Building, Room 1100, 4901 East Carson Street in Long Beach. Schipske encourages residents to contact the Board of Trustees or Superintendent Eloy Oakley.

Hip-hip. . . . Hip-hip. . . . Hip-hip . . . HOORAY!
Count 'em, that's six hips — the total number of hip replacements among three top folks at the College World Series.
In baseball lingo, each pulled off a double play — both hips. And yes, all three are cheering the results.
"We all wish we had done it earlier," said Dennis Poppe, 65, the top NCAA official at the series.
"I feel 20 years younger," said Kathryn Morrissey, 57, executive director of CWS of Omaha Inc.
Public-address announcer Bill Jensen, 66, joked that he feels so much better with his new hips that he has to remind himself there are still limits.
"You have to be careful not to do certain things," he said. "Like bungee-jumping and parachuting."
They all can laugh now, which is a big difference from last year's College World Series, when each was hobbled. In their pain, they comforted each other by joking that they would run the bases at TD Ameritrade Park after their operations.
So on Wednesday, at a mostly empty stadium, they met at home plate and jointly headed down the first-base line.
OK, they didn't "run" the bases, but they made the circuit, celebrating the medical home run they felt they had hit.
A wag in the press box wrote in lights on the giant scoreboard: "The Bionic Hip Club."
It's all so much better than last year, when the three did some consulting with each other to see how things were going.
"It was more like commiserating than consulting," Denny said. "I had lived with pain for some time and thought it was part of the aches of aging."
Kathryn said her pain worsened over seven years, and she rode around in a cart at last year's CWS. Bill said that for part of the 2012 series, he walked with a crutch.
Dennis, who lives in Indianapolis, had his surgeries in July and October. The Omahans had theirs locally by the same surgeon — Dr. Sam Phillips.
Cracked Bill: "We call him 'Sam the Butcher.'"
The term is playful, and in one sense it's not far off — Sam the Surgeon is the "pitmaster" for tonight's smoked-meat feast for players, coaches and other invitees.
This is the 13th year he and Phil Davidson of Omaha have headed a crew of about 25 volunteers who call themselves "Last Year's Champions." They started smoking some of the meat at midnight.
"There's a lot of scrambling to cut up 1,500 pounds of meat," the doc said, wryly adding: "Patients I've operated on come by, or those who might be considering surgery. It's probably not the best scenario to show my skill."
The annual behind-the-scenes barbecue on the night of opening ceremonies at TD Ameritrade Park is only for the eight teams and invitees — part of Omaha's warm welcome to the universities whose ballclubs qualify for the national championship tournament.

Surprisingly good food! – Our large party waited over 30 minutes for a seat. We thought to give up but people exiting the restaurant implored us to wait. Glad we did. Most in our party had the buffet. Really good food there...although because the food is served to you they give you smaller portions. Really not a big deal as it IS a buffet.
I had the 8oz filet. It was SO delicious! Melt in your mouth good! My husband had the Cowboy steak, which he also raved about.
And our waiter was VERY attentive. Excellent service despite it being somewhat crowded.
We would definitely visit Angelo's again and wait as long as necessary to get a table!
