The National Organization on Disability (NOD) is a private, non-profit organization that promotes the full participation and contributions of America's 56 million people with disabilities in all aspects of life. Today, NOD focuses on increasing employment opportunities for the 79 percent of working-age Americans with disabilities who are not employed.
With programs on the ground, we are demonstrating new employment practices and models of service delivery, evaluating results, and sharing successful approaches for widespread replication. We are conducting research on disability employment issues, including the field's most widely used polls on employment trends and the quality of life for people with disabilities. And our subject matter experts in disability and employment provide consulting services to public agencies and employers seeking to harness the unique talents that people with disabilities can bring to the workforce.
To achieve our goals, we work in partnership with employers, schools, the military, service providers, researchers, and disability advocates. Our current employment programs are benefiting high school students with disabilities transitioning into the workforce, seriously injured service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, employers seeking to become more disability friendly, and state governments engaged in policy reform.
Founded in 1982, NOD is the oldest cross-disability organization in the country. To this day, we remain one of few organizations committed to representing all Americans with disabilities, regardless of their particular condition or circumstances.

How long has government been trying to do this? At least three decades. I
remember signing a contract in 1979. The APR was in bold print and the monthly
payment was spelled out to the nth degree. How far can you dumb it down?
What we need is some way to explain things to Congress. We've got proof
that people were telling them in the late 1990s that GSEs like Fannie and Freddy
were on a collision course and needed serious revamping. But no one listened
and the system crashed.
Conventional loans were far more conservative.
It's when all the loans were packaged and sold hat we got into trouble.
The net-net is that some in government want everyone to have a house,
regardless of ability to pay. There's the rub.

Architecture critic finds no regrets
Everyone has had the experience of disagreeing with a critic, but do critics ever second-guess themselves? We asked Calendar's critics whether there are any reviews they regret. One in a series of occasional articles.
Regret -- nostalgia turned upside down -- is a strong word. For a critic, it's also a loaded one. My feelings about buildings have certainly shifted or deepened over time. But I don't know that I've ever had the experience of writing about a piece of architecture one year, then going back the next and finding that my feelings had changed so markedly that I had to look back on my earlier judgment with embarrassment -- or anything resembling shame, which is a close cousin of regret and maybe even a prerequisite for it.
What I've learned, instead, is that if there's one reaction to architecture that I know I can trust and that won't waver on later visits, it's a visceral rather than an intellectual one. A great building (or a really terrible one, for that matter) hits you in the gut. It provides a kind of aesthetic jolt that is essentially irreversible -- regret-proof.
Aside from certain postcard landmarks -- the Pyramids, say, or pretty much anything by Bernini -- the list of buildings that knocked me out on first viewing includes work by Louis Kahn, Alvaro Siza, Bernard Maybeck, Carlo Scarpa, Kevin Roche and a small group of other architects. (Sometimes that reaction comes as a complete surprise: Who knew Eero Saarinen's Gateway Arch in St. Louis, which I considered a simplistic tourist-route staple before visiting it a decade ago, could possess so much steely, leaping aesthetic power?) And almost always, revisiting those buildings has only strengthened my earlier reaction.
Order amid the chaos
For me, the idea that one piece of architecture is simply better than another -- more accomplished, more significant, more innovative -- is far from a way to express some vague arrogance about taste or to try to turn an elusive process into a quantifiable one. It's a way to grab a lifeline in a cultural sea that gets choppier by the week. The newspaper industry may collapse, economies may run off course, oceans may rise all the way to our chins. But we have our judgment, and we like to comfort ourselves by thinking of it as a constant.
To admit that we rarely feel regret, though, is hardly the same as saying we're infallible. Far from it. Unlike the eternally finished products of moviemaking or novel writing, buildings have moods. They change from day to day, depending on the weather, the season, the quality and intensity of light. Critics tend to fly or drive in, see an unoccupied and thus unfinished building for a few hours -- or on consecutive days, if we're feeling really committed -- and then pronounce judgment with a practiced finality. But a building in March, wrapped in fog, is not the same as in July, beaten down by the sun, or in late November, throwing long shadows. This is true even in Los Angeles, a city supposedly lacking seasons.
What changes from month to month, though, is not a building's basic achievement as much as the way it expresses the shades of its personality. In that sense, a piece of architecture is not so different from a theatrical script or a musical score in performance, where the product that a critic is asked to judge is dynamic and unsettled. If a play or a piece of music is made when it meets its audience, and can be expected to do so in a different way every night, a building is made in a series of mostly irreversible steps when its design meets the world and everything in it: physics, zoning, the indignities of ill-chosen furniture, wind, hail, earthquakes, terrorism. And, of course, the passage of time.
As fixed and eternal as a completed building can seem, in other words, architecture is actually among the most contingent of the arts. Compromise and change are built into its DNA. So is the path to ruin, the inescapable fact that buildings are foremost things, which fall apart.
A word about writing
When it comes to writing about architecture, what usually vexes me after the fact is phrase-making rather than ideas -- not the what but the how. (It must say something about regret that while I was waiting for this essay to appear in print, I went back twice to rework it.) Making a judgment is, for me, the easy part; expressing it in clear and persuasive language is where the real effort begins.
There's also that steady, low-grade anxiety about facts. Were those panels steel, as I wrote, or aluminum? Was that really a Vierendeel truss? Did I really use the same adjective in three straight sentences? Now there is shame.
In "Garlic and Sapphires," a memoir recounting her years as a newspaper restaurant critic, Ruth Reichl describes a similar worry keeping her up the night before her review of Le Cirque appeared in the New York Times in October 1993.
"It was 2 a.m. when I sat straight up in bed," she writes. " 'Sea bass?' I asked. 'Did I say it was sea bass?' Fear went shooting through me. . . . I had called the restaurant's signature dish sea bass instead of black bass, and it was too late to do a single thing about it. . . . Le Cirque was my seventh review in the New York Times, and it would surely be my last."
For the halibut
Notice that Reichl feels no need to second-guess her critical take on the restaurant, her sense that the "halibut with mushrooms on soggy rounds of potatoes" was "dull" and "forlorn," or that as a woman -- at least before she was recognized as the most important critic in town -- she was made to feel like a rube and an interloper in Le Cirque owner Sirio Maccioni's clubby, male-dominated realm.
Something similar holds true for architects. I know plenty who kick themselves about how a staircase or a facade turned out, but I've never heard one express regret for the concept or the goals behind a building. The problem for architects, as for critics, lies not in saying the wrong thing but in saying it the wrong way.
Actually, if we're being honest, even that second kind of regret is rare among particularly talented and self-involved architects (now there's a redundant phrase!). What they regret about a building is usually that some underling -- a young associate, a cabinetmaker -- screwed up some part of it. They regret leaving their vision in the hands of people who fail to execute it. The greatest ones regret only the fact that they aren't running the world.

Coconut Willy's Waikiki reopening in former Honolulu Hard Rock Cafe site
- Stephanie Silverstein
- Reporter- Pacific Business News
- Email | Twitter
Coconut Willy's Waikiki is set to open Friday night after a little more than a one-year hiatus that included a move to the former Hard Rock Cafe building on Kapiolani Boulevard near the Hawaii Convention Center.
Owner David Kenney had planned to reopen the restaurant in December, but he told me Friday morning that he didn't realize it was going to take four months to get the liquor license, and he faced delays in the permitting process, as well.
Kenney got the liquor license this week, as well as the other necessary permitting secured, and is putting the finishing touches on the restaurant in preparation for a 6 p.m. opening.
"We're dotting the I's and crossing the T's," Kenney said. "It's not perfect yet, we've still got some stuff to do, but that's the reason you have a soft opening, is so you can refine it."
Coconut Willy's Waikiki will have a grand opening celebration in two weeks, on May 10.
Kenney said he invested between $275,000 and $300,000 into the new location, which is a hybrid of a tiki bar, outdoor bar, beer garden, sports bar and night club.
"We've got something that fits everybody's needs," he said.
Coconut Willy's was located in the International Marketplace in Waikiki for 18 years. It then moved to Lewers Street, where it operated for four years before closing last February.
Kenney is subleasing the space at 1837 Kapiolani Blvd. from Hard Rock International, which holds the lease until 2016. Hard Rock Cafe Honolulu relocated to 280 Beachwalk in Waikiki about two years ago.

Beyonce at Tory Burch NYC Store Opening Pictures
Beyoncé Knowles Strikes a Pregnant Pose at Another Fun Fashion Week Event
Beyoncé Knowles stepped out in a cutout black gown at the opening of Tory Burch's new flagship store on Madison Avenue in NYC last night. The jersey and leather Michael Kors dress was worn by Leighton Meester earlier this year at The Roommate premiere, though Beyoncé had her growing baby bump hiding underneath. Beyoncé was joined by Brad Goreski, Serena Williams, Russell Simmons, and others at the celebration. It was a busy day for the pregnant star, who also attended a few Fashion Week shows. She sat front row with her sister, Solange, at J.Crew in the morning and later changed into a short dress to catch the Rodarte and Vera Wang presentations. Beyoncé's been on the go all week after being spotted in the stands with Jay-Z at the US Open finals on Monday.

Arriving at London Gatwick and staying in Wimbledon. Is there train service that would take us to Wimbledon without going into 1 of the main London stations and then backtracking?
If not, any recommendations on transfer services?
Gatwick to Wimbledon
1 Reply |
Report Abuse
No direct train, but frequent connections via Clapham Junction. It's about 25 minutes from Gatwick to CJ and then only 7 minutes or so from CJ to Wimbledon.
Clapham Junction is very busy with 17 platforms. Good thing is that several connections I check with on nationalrail.co.uk all show Gatwick train (on Southern) arrives on Platform 12, and train to Wimbledon (on South West Trains) depart from Platform 11. 11 and 12 share the same island.

The 10 best iOS games for iPhone and iPad
Michael Plant
Michael Plant is chief editor and writer of gaming ezine and blog GamesCatalyst.com, as well as editor of 'The Independent''s games review printed in the Saturday supplement 'Information'. Established in February 2011, Games Catalyst endeavours to bring its unique brand of fact and satire to the videogaming community and, in tandem with 'The Independent', hopefully turn a few non-believers on to gaming while we're at it.
Thursday 22 March 2012
Mobile gaming is fast becoming one of the dominant forces in the videogame world, and at the forefront of that advance sit Apple's iPhone and iPad. Whether you like the sleek devices or not, it's hard to argue against the impact they've had on the way we go about gaming. Here are ten titles that, if you own an iOS device, you should be playing right now.
Sonic CD
Price: £2.99
Developer: Sega
A port of an oft forgotten classic from back in the day when Sonic didn't have an embarrassment of friends clogging up his games. Sonic CD is fast and slick, and features the sort of split second precision that the hedgehog's more modern outings lack. It's easy to control, and there's a wealth of content that should keep retro fans and newcomers entertained for a good few hours. This is arguably the best version of the best Sonic game out there, and you'd be a fool to miss it.
Infinity Blade I & II
Price: £3.99-£4.99
Developer: Chair Entertainment, Epic Games
The first Infinity Blade made iOS gaming cool, bringing with it Epic's stunning Unreal engine and a style of play that worked with the limitations of the hardware rather than around them. A tale of swords, demons and retribution, it captivated hardcore gamers and more casual fans alike, and made a colossal amount of money along the way. Its sequel upped the ante, throwing in more bosses, a bigger world and some cringe worthy dialogue to boot. Whilst the original is a much more focused affair, Infinity Blade II boasts a bigger play time and some new fighting styles. Save yourself the bother of choosing, and just buy them both.
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
Price: £6.99 (for all episodes)
Developer: Capcom
Capcom's amazing puzzle game finds a comfortable home on the iPhone. It deals with death, murder and fate, whilst filling your screen with memorable characters, all cast in gorgeous cartoon graphics. Tasking you with solving your own murder, you work through the game preventing others from grisly ends by moving around pieces of scenery and other objects in the four minute window before they're shuffled loose this mortal coil. Far more ingenious than it sounds, this is a game that no one should miss.
Dead Space
Price: £0.69-£5.99
Developer: EA
Not a straight port, but a stand alone adventure set between Dead Space and Dead Space 2, this space based survival horror title sees you battling against Necromorphs in the Sprawl. It's taut and relentless, and whilst it is hampered a little by complex controls, it's still a worthy addition to Visceral's gory universe. The iPhone is slightly lacking when it comes to scary titles, especially ones as competent and thrilling as this. If you want to dismember terrifyingly mutated corpses on the go, then Dead Space is the game for you.
World of Goo HD
Price: £2.99
Developer: 2D Boy
A physics based puzzler that sees you manipulating blobs of slime to achieve various goals. There's a huge amount of content here, with five chapters to work your way through, each split up into a variety of fiendish levels. The game might not be an App Store original, but its creative, intelligent and a whole lot of fun. Plus, it's an introduction to a lot of the themes and styles of play that keep iOS gaming turning over. The perfect place for people who are just starting their iOS gaming odyssey to begin.
Jazz: Trump's Journey
Price: £1.99
Developer: Bulkypix
A unique, spellbinding platformer with a remarkable soundtrack and a sepia tinted look that perfectly captures its 1930′s New Orleans setting. Games like this wouldn't be possible anywhere other than the App Store, but it's still refreshing to see a developer taking a chance, and trying to create something unique. It borrows a lot of its basic ideas from other games, but weaves them seamlessly into its world, adding its own twists along the way. Well balanced, and with some clever puzzle elements, Trump's Journey is a joy, pure and simple.
Price: £2.99
Developer: Amanita Design
An iPad only release, Machinarium is a gorgeous point-and-click adventure that revitalises the genre with a unique style and some supremely clever puzzles. An endearing and entertaining story about robot overlords drives the action along, but it's the clever design that will keep you going to the bitter end. A lot of fun, and the sort of game that exercises your mental muscles as well as the dexterity of your fingers. Ipad owners should get this gem as soon as they get the chance.
Price: Free (deluxe package £1.99)
Developer: Indiagames
Is it a word game? Is it a puzzle game? Is it a turn based strategy title? It's basically all of those things and more. A remarkably clever mashing together of at least three genres, Quarrel is all about duking it out with words, taking over enemy territory and ruling the world. Presented in a charming, cartoon way, it's almost impossible to not like Quarrel, and when you throw in some catastrophically addictive gameplay, you're left with exactly the sort of adventurous experimentation that makes the App Store so interesting.
DrawRace 2 HD
Price: £1.99
Developer: Chillingo
DrawRace 2 improves upon its predecessor in every way possible – packing crisp visuals, a pleasing roster of cars and a huge array of challenging tracks set across all kinds of terrain types. While a racing game at heart, the real challenge here is in the preparation; the precise tracing of your car's line carried out before the race even begins all important. Sound effects give you an audible cue so you'll know if you've hit a corner too quickly, while once the race begins an accrued turbo gives you chance to adjust. Yet another example of a simple premise, perfectly executed, proving fiendishly addictive.
DoDonPachi Blissful Death
Price: £2.99
Developer: Cave
A garish, multicoloured shower of insanely tough death, Cave's shooter is a timely reminder that iOS gaming doesn't have to be cute, cuddly or simple. 'Bullet hell' titles have built themselves a stronghold on the App Store, and whilst it might seem odd, these projectile spewing, rocket dodging core games are a brilliant fit. Blissful Death is a hard as nails top down blaster that punishes even the slightest mistake with untimely, explosive termination. Like its stable mates, this isn't one for the faint of heart, but if you like your mobile gaming to be relentlessly cruel and spectacularly destructive, you could do a lot worse than buying DoDonPachi Blissful Death.
