A word from Le Colonial - Chicago
Le Colonial transports guests to another time and place, vividly recapturing the beauty, romance and spirit of 1920's French-Colonial Southeast Asia. Le Colonial invigorates the senses with exquisite décor and savory authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Le Colonial offers two unique dining options: The first floor dining room is adorned with louvered shutters, woven rattan chairs, potted palms, slow-moving ceiling fans and nostalgic black and white photos of turn-of-the century life in Saigon. The upstairs lounge includes a spacious, fully stocked mahogany bar, plush couches for enjoying light fare, dining tables and a veranda, for keeping warm in winter and cool in summer. Complete with unique, delicately prepared Vietnamese cuisine, Le Colonial is the perfect setting for an after-work social or a romantic evening for two.Continued

- First Class All The WayDowntownVIPDined on 11/21/2014Everything about Le Colonial is First Rate -- absolutely superb in every regard. With so many restaurants in Chicago to choose from we continue to be impressed with the quality and originality of the food. The whole snapper is fabulous, as is the trout in banana skin. We love the salad with crab meat and the salad with scallops. The service is attentive without being invasive and we never tire of the wonderfully romantic decor. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 4th annual dinner with friends from medical schoolpetpringlesDined on 11/20/2014I get to Chicago only once a year for a conference and we've always had our rendezvous here. The ambience, the tasty and glorious food and the courteous service just adds so much to our get together. We are only a small group of 3 and no doubt of even thinking of a different venue as the location is prime and the setting just wonderful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!ScotticusDined on 11/14/2014Great food, fantastic service. I would recommend le colonial. Make sure you make a reservation!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- None at this time.FoodieDined on 11/14/2014ALways excellent service and food preparation. Would highly recommend this restaurant to friends and visitors to the Chicago area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Asian flairCathyLDined on 11/12/2014The service was excellent, very professional. Our waiter made excellent suggestions. The oxtail soup was fabulous . As were the appetizer rolls, and entrees. The dining room on the first floor was elegant and comfortable. We liked that they had a coat room.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Continually outstanding!ReduxDined on 11/5/2014You can count on the food, service and quality experience every time.Special Features:
- Always greatOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/4/2014We have been going to Le Colonial for many years. It is always great.Special Features:
- Business lunchMrbadger66VIPDined on 11/4/2014I've frequented Le Colonial for a number of years and it's a special place to take business guests. The "house" is lovely; the food consistently excellent; the service attentive but unobtrusive. Loop clients love getting away and especially enjoy the setting and the menu (although the number of choices can overwhelm, but that's a minor quibble). It's just a very nice, vey serene place ... an ideal setting for relaxed but productive discussions.Special Features:
- Not what it used to beWorldfoodDined on 11/3/2014Think these guys are living on their past reputation. Food quality was mediocre. Nothing special or memorable. Ambiance remains good but with the lake of energy on the food I would not go back!
- Le ColonialgastronomeDined on 11/2/2014This is a wonderful place to have a real, sustained conversation with friends, in a lovely setting. Upstairs is a great environment for a fine meal and a place to catch up with friends and family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MichaelAdmanVIPDined on 11/2/2014Great food and service get the bouillabaisse we come here everyone in Chicago.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A special spot...LucyVIPDined on 10/31/2014We had never been to a French Vietnamese restaurant, but once we tried Le Colonial, we always save an evening to dine there when we are in Chicago. The food is fresh, interesting and appealing. We love the atmosphere. May not be for everyone, but it's a special evening for us.Special Features:
- Delicious foodDeboChicagoVIPDined on 10/28/2014We enjoyed our recent dinner at Le Colonial. The food is absolutely delicious. It's true that similar food is available in Uptown for a much lower price but not in such an attractive environment or with such impeccable presentation. The only negative, and it's a mild one, was rather over-attentive service. This included waitstaff who decided to "explain" the menu by reading parts of it even though we said we'd been there before and other staff who were perhaps over- eager to remove our plates. Favorite dishes included everything we ordered: the fresh spring rolls, trout, lotus root salad, and scallop salad. Super flavors and fresh ingredients, with everything perfectly prepared.Special Features:
- Great place for a special occassionsharkyDined on 10/27/2014Went here for a 40th birthday dinner. Bar atmosphere upstairs is great. Small, intimate and very good service at the bar. Sat upstairs next to the windows. View is cool and the atmosphere is great. Romantic and intimate. Food is excellent and wine list is very good. Service at dinner was a little sporadic but I suppose one way to look at it is that they weren't overbearing. One of my favorite places in the city.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meh ColonialDeederVIPDined on 10/25/2014It was ok. The food was certainly not what I would consider fine dining, more like an overpriced PF Changs. Luckily, even at that rate, it was still not all that expensive for the Gold Coast. The pho was extremely mediocre, and that is almost unpardonable for a restaurant that claims to be authentic Vietnamese. The service was pleasant, but the joint was loud and cramped. I doubt I'd go back. There are street vendors that can do that same cuisine, and many do it better.
- Spicier food was great!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/25/2014The host was excellent about getting us a table when we were 20 minutes early! Appetizer needs to come with assembly instructions. :) I had a mixed veggie and chicken curry dish that was spicy and TASTY!! My husband had #29 - good but needed more spicing/flavor. Our son had a pork dish that was good. Our server was very efficient considering how busy she was. We were at a wall table which was trickier for seating (had to pull out the table to be seated and to leave). Overall, a good experience!Special Features:
- NicePatrickVIPDined on 10/24/2014Why wasn't it as great as we remembered? Food was good, but seemed like a lot more noodles than anything -- on rather expensive dishes. The ribs appetizer was really just OK.
- So good!ReebsDined on 10/24/2014The food is compilations of amazing fusions. The small plates are great to share and the drink menu is unique and delish!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

This was some of the best strong without being bitter, The food was good Love finger foods which you have to share. Tells you your comfort level with a person in a hurry. We had a great time.

- Very Pleasant ExperienceApotheosisVIPDined on 10/8/2014Like most Rush Street area restaurants, if you are driving, it might take a couple passes to find it and figure out the Valet parking available. Once inside it is well worth it. The Maitre'd was very professional, patient and our table was ready right on time. The food was excellent, the service outstanding. First time there, and I really enjoyed it.Special Features:

Amazing food, excellent service, great atmosphere - we've never been disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary dinnerMaksimDined on 10/2/2014Came here for wedding anniversary dinner. Service was pleasant, they offered us a nice table at the window at second floor with a street view, in a corner so we felt quite romantic and cozy there. Food was great, antipasti were very fresh, especially tuna tartar. Drinks looked exotic and were highly acceptable. There were few more people there but not too loud. I would definitely recommend this place for a romantic dinner tet-a-tet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

It ws so dark we couldn't read the menu and the server could have cared less. It was very cold upstairs and we had to leave our jackets on. Finally after asking another server if he could close the door to the patio we felt a little warmer.Special Features:

Diamonds Wine Tours are the very best!!!! "We do everything but squeeze the grapes"
The Finger Lakes is the largest and most well-regarded wine making region in the eastern United States, and it owes much of its acclaim to the lakes themselves. The plunging depth of the lakes (especially Cayuga Lake, Seneca Lake and Keuka Lake) moderates the effect of cold weather, and the steep slopes of the surrounding hills make for fortuitous air patterns that whisk away pockets of cold air, making it possible for a longer and more stable growing season. These and other factors make for top-notch viticulture in the Finger Lakes.

Things haven't been right with Yahoo for quite some time now. Everything could be coming to a head this Wednesday as a huge round of layoffs is scheduled to be announced. Domestic layoffs will be coming on Wednesday, with international layoffs to follow on Thursday. All of this is part of the restructuring efforts of new Yahoo CEO, Scott Thompson. Yahoo is definitely staying busy with it's lawsuit against Facebook over patent infringements, so we'll have to see if all of these moves payoff for Yahoo. [Source: Business Insider and Pando Daily]

Ergonomics for Interaction Designers
Understanding and applying physical fit in user interface research & design
Rob Tannen, IDSA, Bresslergroup
Driving Factors
Ergonomics is necessary for 3-dimensional, tangible product design where issues of physical fit
and comfort are critical. But for interaction designers in the 2-dimensional world of the display
screen, understanding physical ergonomics has largely been irrelevant. For example in most
cases, interfaces are designed for existing, defined hardware that are out of the control of the
interaction designer.
But the continuing convergence of digital interfaces with physical products is putting interaction
designers in a position where knowledge of anthropometrics, kinesthetics, and other noncognitive
human capabilities is valuable for creating effective design solutions.
There are several trends contributing to this, including:
1. The rapid proliferation of touch screen and other gestural interfaces which combine
"direct" physical control with digital interface design. If you want to design for a finger,
you have to know how a finger works.
2. The growth of ubiquitous computing leading to an increased range of scale and form
factor in devices that contain interfaces, from traditional computers and laptops, to kiosks,
tablets, phones, interactive video walls, electronic ink and consumer appliances (to name
a few). As a result, people are interacting with interfaces in range of positions and
contexts that go beyond simply standing or sitting in front of a screen. So beyond
fingertips, knowing how people can reasonably user their bodies to hold, view, reach and
interact is valuable.
3. Computing power and bandwidth across such devices now supports more complex,
involved tasks such as data entry, long duration reading and gaming, all of which can
lead to risks for repetitive motion injuries, or at least discomfort. Having a knowledge of
the types of interactions that can cause such injuries, and how to design around them, is
4. An ever increasingly diverse range of end-users are gaining access to interactive
devices, across age, and physical characteristics. For example, the One Laptop Per
Child campaign has produced a global, kid-sized laptop. In home health care, a market
of predominately elderly users, more devices contain embedded interfaces. And ADA
and similar legislation requires that devices are accessible to users with a range of
disabilities. In other words, you need to know your user, for it is not you - a given in
interface design, a necessity in ergonomic design.
5. Last, but not least - interest. Several of the factors described above are driving many
interaction designers to explore and study the world of physical product design. For
example, the IIT Institute of Design recently hosted a "thinkering" workshop specifically to
provide "an opportunity for interaction designers to get their hands dirty with electronics,
soldering, and wiring, and learn how to interface hardware artifacts with virtual
interactions." Just as it is important to understand the electro-mechanics of hardware, it
is essential to understand the relevant mechanical attributes for the users of such
What all of these trends have in common is a growing need to accommodate human physical
characteristics and constraints in the design of digital interfaces. For the most part, this skill set is
not part of the experience of interaction designers.

Evie finally became badass -which is freaking exciting for me. For her "boyfriend"? Apparently not so much. Although I don't really understand why is he so freaked out after everything they've seen... Okay, maybe a boy ripped in two behind Evie is a bit disturbing, but c'mon, she finally learned how to protect herself! That's what everyone wanted, right?

Staff Favorites: Matthew/Winters Park
If you're hoping to take your family our for a half-day mountain bike ride and picnic or just a quick after-work jaunt, Matthew/Winters Park is a convenient, scenic and fun place to bring your two-wheeled toys. Trails are a mix of double- and single-track, and vary in difficulty from easy to hard.
Village Ride (.6 miles, out and back from the parking lot)
The Village Ride is a short trail that leads from the parking lot to the Red Rocks Trail. Minimal elevation gain and loss, a nice picnic area and fun places to stop and see the Hogback and Red Rocks make this a great ride for kids. Be sure to stop and check out the historical Mount Vernon Townsite, as well.
Red Rocks (2.8 miles, out-and-back from the end of the Village Ride, or can be done as a shuttle/loop on Hwy. 93)
A harder ride, the Red Rocks Trail picks up from the end of the Village Ride and climbs up and through the surrounding rocks and hills. Connects with the Morrison and Dakota Ridge Trails.
Morrison Slide and Dakota Ridge Trails
These longer and more difficult trails may not be ideal for younger kids, but older children with more mountain biking skills and experience may enjoy the tight switchbacks, fast down hills and technical challenges. Dakota Ridge can be accessed from the parking lot or by taking the Red Rocks trail out and across Hwy. 93. The Morrison Slide Trail breaks off from the Red Rocks Trail.
Other Things to Do
The Hogback, the prominent ridge on the other side of CO-26, is a great topic of conversation with kids. The hidden, eastern side is home to the Dinosaur Ridge Visitor Center, and the Hogback name alone can be a great starting point for creating your own stories and myths. While you can pull over and have lunch in any number of places, the picnic area on the Village Ride and the plateau on Morrison Slide are two especially nice spots. Kids may also enjoy visiting the historic townsite of Mount Vernon.
Getting There
Matthew/Winters Park is located just off of I-70/US-40, north of Red Rocks Park. When heading south from Denver on I-70, take the CO-26 exit and drive south. The parking area to the west (left) accesses the Village Ride; the one to the east accesses Dakota Ridge.
Things to Watch Out For
If crossing CO-23, watch for traffic, as there may not be an obvious bike crossing. Sections of the Dakota Ridge Trail are especially rocky and difficult.

Every morning I tell myself that today is the day to finally sit down and write about Laurel. Today is the day to wrap my head around and put into words what happened. But, it's almost as if I don't write about it here, then it maybe it didn't happen. Then maybe it's not real.
Except it did, and it is.
And I can't avoid this space forever.
It's been more than a month now since Roth's mom, our sons' beloved GrammaLo, passed away. She died as a result of colon cancer that she battled as long and hard as she could for the last year and a half. She left this earth in peace, at home and surrounded by her closest family and lifelong friends. Some of her last hours were spent with Roth and his brother Lane, who held her hands and reassured her that it was OK to let go. Roth showed her pictures of Rowan and Milo on his phone, pictures that I'd texted him from earlier that same day. She couldn't talk anymore by then, but he said he saw a tear fall from the corner of her eye.
She was just 62.
Today she would've turned 63.
It's still unimaginable that Laurel got sick, let alone that she's now gone. She was one of the healthiest, most vibrant people on the planet. She did everything right, everything she was supposed to do in order to live well into her nineties, just like her mother and her grandmother before that. She never smoked, rarely drank. She exercised, ate a balanced diet, took vitamins. She never even had a cavity in her life. And yet, none of that mattered because somehow she still got cancer.
The cancer was already stage 4 when she was diagnosed. It had spread to her liver, but it was too risky to do surgery. She managed to fight it for many months with chemo. "Stay positive!" she always said in her Caring Bridge updates. And so we did our best. I never Googled the odds. I never let my mind wander into a world without her in it. For a while, she seemed to be doing pretty well. The side effects of the chemo were minimal, manageable enough that she could travel a bit. She went to Tucson and Hawaii, and she came to Seattle to be with us for the birth of her second grandchild.
But things took a turn after the Seattle trip. She started experiencing a lot of pain, and the side effects of chemotherapy returned. She lost more weight, grew weaker by the week. In early July we got a call from Roth's dad after a visit to her doctor at Stanford. He said it'd been determined that there wasn't anything else her doctor could do for the cancer, and he recommended shifting from curative treatment to pain management. It was a short phone call, but Manny's few words spoke volumes. We could read between the lines. We knew then that it wouldn't be long, so we started planning a trip down to California.
On the drive down, we told Rowan that his GrammaLo was very sick, which was why we were going to see her, and he seemed to understand, but nothing could really prepare any of us for those next few days. She was in a lot of pain, and the first two days of our visit were, according to Roth's dad, some of her worst days ever during her cancer fight. It wasn't an easy decision, but Manny finally agreed to call hospice.
There is definitely a stigma attached to seeking help from hospice. It can feel like defeat, I've heard, like throwing in the towel, but just a day after receiving care from hospice nurses, Laurel was more comfortable and feeling less pain. Hospice couldn't change the inevitable outcome, but I think we all felt relieved that her suffering had been lessened as she headed into her final chapter.
It was such a bittersweet visit, but I'm so glad we were able to see Laurel when we did. After she was set up with hospice, she had a couple of decent days, relatively speaking. She was able to eat a little, enjoy sitting next to Rowan while he played games on a tablet, and touch and feel Milo's baby feet and hands. A few times, I was able to put him down for a nap right next to her while she napped. Roth and I both chatted with her about everyday things, just as we would have during any other visit before.
But this wasn't like any other visit. We couldn't stay forever, and soon it was time for us to head back to Seattle. Before that, Roth's dad asked him if he'd come back "when things got really bad." Of course, he said, but later we talked about how it seemed like things then were already really bad. How could they get worse? I managed to keep myself together until we had to say goodbye. When it was Ro's turn to give her a hug, I lost it. She hadn't been able to speak much above a hoarse whisper during our entire visit, but clear as day I heard her say to him, "I love you infinity." Then Roth held Milo on her lap so she could look right into his face, and my heart broke into a thousand pieces. That was the last time Rowan, Milo and I would see her.
I've grappled with whether or not I want to write about the details of Laurel's last two weeks, and I think the answer is no. Not here. It's not my story to tell, I wasn't there in the final moments, and out of respect for the family, I don't want to make anyone relive that intense and emotional experience.
Roth did make it back down to see her one last time, and he was by her side — along with his dad and brother, her sister, and some very good friends — when she passed. I remember exactly what I was doing when I got the text from Roth. It'd been a very long and challenging day of solo parenting the boys. I was in the kitchen, frantically trying to get dinner on the table while Rowan complained from the dining room that it was taking too long for his noodles and Milo whined at me from the bouncer. I saw the text in the midst of making pesto, and my heart sank. Even though I knew that moment was coming, it was still a shock, and I instantly ached to see and hold Roth. As life chaotically swirled around me in the kitchen, a life had ended in a room just off another kitchen. It was all too much, and too soon.
Fuck cancer.
Roth is doing OK. His brother seems to be doing OK, too. Roth's dad is dealing, mostly focused on regrouping and reorganizing his own life after sharing it with someone for 43 years. He has plans to get away for a while, to go someplace warm, but now he's reeling again after the death of his own mom, who passed away a month and a day after Laurel. She was 90. I think it's high time the Universe give my father-in-law a break from all this sadness.
Life goes on because it has to, and it's what she would want for her family, but this is the sort of loss we'll feel in different and unexpected ways, for some time to come. Our day-to-day lives here in Seattle are the same, but it's the bigger picture that's still unclear. Grief sneaks up on me, in the quiet moments I share with Milo, or the conversations I have with Rowan. I reach for my phone, to send her a text or a pic of the kids, and then I remember. Roth said he listened to his dad make phone call after phone call to family and friends after she passed away, and he kept saying the same thing: her biggest regret is not being able to see her grandsons grow up.
That's the lump in my throat, too.
There's so much more to say about Laurel, more than the 330-word obituary I wrote for the local newspaper, more than the 1,300 or so words in this space. I'm thinking a lot about how I want to honor her legacy, how I want to ensure Rowan and Milo remember this amazing woman. There are photos and videos, of course, but there is the intangible, too. The way she loved her sons, and loved being a mother. I want my own sons to feel that same sort of love. I want to be the kind of mother to them that she was to Roth and Lane.
She was a daughter, a sister, a friend. She was a wife, a mother. She was a teacher, a mentor. She was a grandmother. She was GrammaLo.

Oh, Jen. My heart breaks for you and your family. What a beautiful gift you had in her, taken far too soon. I can't offer anything but my deep and lasting condolences that the pain lets up sometime soon.
I never met my mom's grandmother, but she shaped my mom's life in such a significant way that my mom talked about her so often and so emotionally. I have always felt that love so deeply, enough that I framed a photo of my great-grandmother on a wall in my house. I imagine what kind of woman she was often, as I walk by that photo. She is loved, even by a generation of people who will never know her.
Love and stories keep those gone with us always. And you have so much of both.October 10th, 2013 @ 11:59 am

Jen, I cried when I saw your original FB status about her passing. This beautiful entry you've shared with us? I'm wrecked on your behalf. You captured her spirit and your final moments with her in the most amazing way.
You, Roth, your sweet boys, and all of Laurel's friends and family are in my thoughts.
You know how colon cancer has fucked my family over, too. I hope to see an end to its reign before my lifetime is over.
Sending much love.

Jen, this is the most beautiful thing you've ever written. I feel the sadness and am now at my desk crying. I never met her, but after reading this, I feel like I've known her my whole life. You and Roth will naturally raise your boys just like she did–and they will grow up to be wonderful men, just like Roth and his brother are. Because people like her leave behind the perfect example of the way we should all be–kind, warm, generous and full of love. There's nothing I can say here to make it any easier for you, only time will do that. But no matter how much time passes, the memories you have of her will never fade. It takes a very special person to leave a mark like that…October 10th, 2013 @ 12:09 pm

Oh Jen, I just want to curl up in a ball and cry and cry. Lo will be missed for the rest of my life. She was like a sister to me for 50 plus years. She was the kind of friend that we search for and if lucky find at least one. I cherish all our memories. Just shocked about Manny's mom, but then again I knew she had many issues. She's with Lo and Manuel now just waiting for all her other love ones to join her. We'll give Manny a call in a few days to give him our love and support. His plate is full, but we know he will be coming to visit us in the near future, and that's when the big hugs will take place. Our love to you, your little men and of course Roth.

I always thought being there when my dad died would make it better, would make the loss more palatable somehow. Watching my grandfather (someone who'd been in our lives as often as my mother has always been) pass away this past February didn't lessen any of the grief. It felt real more quickly, I think, as we weren't waiting around for closure that would take years to arrive, but I think a part of me was surprised it didn't make it hurt less. It didn't make it make any more sense. I'm convinced nothing really makes any of this hurt less; nothing really makes it make enough sense.
I know you know that suddenly and to some stupid, incredibly rare, incredibly formidable strain of cancer was how we lost my aunt Anne, and how we lost Grandpa Ladish. I know you know I love you, we love you, so much, and all I can continue to hope is that while no amount of words and empathy can change anything, maybe it can somehow also change everything, even as the world can't stop, won't stop for you: Knowing there are others who grieve when you grieve and love when you love, and will always.
All of that to say: Laurel was beautiful, from her insides to her outsides, the way you are, and the way Roth is, and the way your boys are. I feel lucky to have met her, to have seen her smile and heard her laugh, and will always. She'll live on in the memories you both have, and in the stories you tell your boys. (We're excited for more stories, too.) Until then, and perpetually: So much love, so many hugs, piling up for you, beloved friend.October 10th, 2013 @ 4:51 pm

A lovely post, Jen. I'm glad you were able to write about it. We've had our own private correspondence already, so you know I echo your sentiments about cancer, hospice, death, etc.
It's so hard to know how to honor them while also making sure our children know who they were. Each day I can see I'm a lot like my mom, and so I hope my kiddos know her that way, while also feeling a little extra love that comes from the beyond. It's not enough, but it has to be.
My continued thoughts to Roth, you and the boys. I'm so glad Roth has you in his life. And even though I don't know him, my thoughts to Roth's father. These men (my dad included), who were taken care of for decades and who are now alone? They break my heart, but I know they'll be fine.October 15th, 2013 @ 5:53 am

|Federal Work-Study
Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a financial award which allows a student with demonstrated financial need to earn a portion of his/her educational expenses by working in a FWS position on or off campus. To determine eligibility or apply for FWS please contact the Financial Aid Office.
Students with Federal Work-Study can apply to on-campus or approved off-campus FWS positions. Employment is not guaranteed, and students are encouraged to contact or visit the Office or Student Employment for assistance in securing a position.
For more information about searching and applying to FWS positions, visit How to Apply.
Off-Campus Federal Work-Study (OFWS) Opportunities
Students awarded Federal Work-Study may be employed off campus in not-for-profit organizations which provide services to improve the quality of life for the community. Such services include tutoring, healthcare, childcare, mentoring and retail. If you would like to use your FWS in community service, there are opportunities to do so. Each year, Manhattanville College is in contract with several not-for-profit organizations that participate in the Off-campus Federal Work-Study Program, and they encourage interested students to fill the open positions listed in the Center for Career Development, the Duchesne Center for Religion and Social Justice, or online at Experience.
If you wish to use your FWS award to work at a non-profit organization that is not currently in contract with Manhattanville College, please encourage your supervisor to contact Manching Tom for more information.
Students who participate in this program are paid biweekly through our office, as with any other on-campus job. Free transportation or car-pooling may be available.
Reminders for Federal Work-Study students
Students with a Federal Work-Study award must first use this allowance before they can receive earnings from campus employment.
When a student is reaching the end of the FWS award, the CCD will notify the student and the supervisor.
A student may contact the Financial Aid Office to see if additional award is available. If yes, the student continues to be paid through FWS. The CCD and the Payroll Department are notified of the change in award.
If a student cannot get additional FWS award and the hiring department has a budget in Campus Employment, the supervisor may submit an authorization to switch the student's payroll type to the non-FWS budget.
If a student cannot get additional FWS award and the hiring department does not have a non-FWS budget, employment ends. If a student has used up all FWS award possibilities and is working in an Off-campus FWS Community Service position, the student may retain the position on a volunteer basis, otherwise employment ends.

By: Gordon Blackburn, PhD Director of Cardiac Rehabilitation, Preventive Cardiology and Rehabilitation Program
Cardiac rehabilitation (rehab) is a structured program of education and activity guided toward lifestyle modification, increasing functional capabilities and peer support.
The best cardiac rehabilitation programs are multidisciplinary, with doctors, nurses, exercise physiologists, psychologists and dietitians either on the premises or in direct contact with the program staff. A good program will study each patient's needs and design a program just for him or her.
The Cleveland Clinic Heart and Vascular Institute encourages patients and family members to consider twelve points when choosing a rehab program:

We were upgraded to the King room #5 with fireplace upon arrival, and the room was very nice- large and roomy. It is right next to the main office but it wasn't noisy at all. The bathroom was tiny but it was functional. The shower was excellent! We enjoyed the fireplace, and lit a fire on our return from dinner at The Flying Fish (which wasn't very good). The inn is in a great location for shopping, restaurants, and an easy walk to the beach for sunsets! The innkeeper gave us plastic cups so we could take a bottle of wine to the beach. There is a nearby store to purchase wine, cheese, groceries, etc. Innkeeper made restaurant reservations for us, too! Parking was on site and limited but you can walk everywhere easily. Be prepared to shop!!! Stores offer a variety of items, and there are plenty of places to get a drink or a meal as well. An excellent vacation spot!! Easy 45 minute drive to Big Sur, and close to 17 mile Drive on Pebble Beach as well. Thank you Monte Verde Inn for making our stay so awesome!!

Very disappointing. Room was tiny. Breakfast was an egg, juice, yogurt & wierd bread served at 8:15 a.m. If you want it sooner, too bad. Guess that's why they required full payment upon check-in.

I am so sorry to hear about your disappointment, though, judging from your unwillingness to pay for your room at check in, I am not completely surprised. I feel that your one star rating across the board was unfair, especially in light of breakfast and payment policy being your only complaints. Standard practice in Carmel is to pay for your room upon arrival. Many of us are small inns so that on busy weekends we turn potential guests away in order to hold your room for you. Additionally, we do have larger and nicer rooms available, though not at the discounted rate you chose to pay. If you had voiced your displeasure, I am sure we could have done something to make you happier. The only thing you complained about was the payment policy at check in, which did not give us a chance to address your other issues.

This Inn was wonderful and accomodating. Mom/daughter/pooch weekend away. Plenty of room (even an extra side room) with our own entrance. The room was rustic but clean/comfortable and had a wonderful higher end restroom/shower area. Again, this was one of their "dogs allowed" rooms so I didn't expect outtanding in all areas. I would try this again with or without the dog.:-) The other rooms look lovely. Also, you can't beat the locale to dining/shopping and the beach. They also have some on-site parking which most other inns do not.

This was our first visit to the Monte Verde Inn and it will not be our last. We were so pleasantly surprised by the quaint room that had just what we needed. We had a wonderful basket delivered to our door each morning with more than enough to get us started each day. The location was located in just the right area to enable us to walk through all the wonderful shops and eateries, or if we turned left instead of right it took us right to the beach, what could be better. From our room we had a great view of the beach and a quaint little table and chairs outside the door to sit and drink our morning coffee and enjoy our basket of goodness. Can't wait to return!

Best value we have found in Carmel! Friendly, helpful service; clean, cozy rooms (with attention to all the amenities you might need); wonderful breakfast basket delivered in the morning (great selection of goodies!); and perfect location. Love that you are dog-friendly, too. We will definitely be back!

Proposed Rules
Proposed Rule Information
Active rule proposals are listed in the table below.
|Federal Register Date
|Docket Number
|Public Hearing
|Proposes amendments to subpart W of the GHGRP that would add reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from gathering and boosting systems, completions and workovers of oil wells using hydraulic fracturing, and blowdowns of natural gas transmission pipelines. Also proposes reporting of well identification numbers for onshore petroleum and natural gas production and proposes confidentiality determinations for new data elements contained in this proposal.
Prepublication preamble and rule (PDF) (136 pp, 529K)
Fact sheet (PDF) (2 pp, 38K)
|None unless requested
|Proposes to establish chemical-specific and default global warming potentials (GWPs) for fluorinated greenhouse gases (GHGs) and fluorinated heat transfer fluids (HTFs) that are reported to the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) but that do not currently have GWPs under the Program. This would ensure that the atmospheric impacts of all fluorinated GHGs and HTFs are reflected in calculations and reporting under the GHGRP.
Preamble and Rule (PDF) (21 pp, 370K)
Fact Sheet (PDF) (1 pg, 45K)
|None unless requested.
|Amends subpart W of the GHGRP, including revisions to certain calculation methods, monitoring and data reporting requirements, terms and definitions, and corrects technical and editorial errors. Also proposes confidentiality determinations for new or substantially revised data elements contained in these proposed amendments, and proposes a revised confidentiality determination for one existing data element.
Preamble and rule (PDF) (68 pp, 937K)
Fact sheet (PDF) (2 pp, 37K)

Nothing Extreme About Compassion and Action
Sara Keltie
As long as the greater majority of the human populace are sitting idly by as atrocities such as the mass slaughter of whales are carried out, then those who choose to do something about it will indeed be considered different, and what a sad thought that is. Rather than sitting on our couches watching it on the news and feeling depressed, we have made the decision to instead pack up our bags and our lives and head to the furthest reaches of the world to take direct measures in opposing that which has no place in a modern, compassionate world.
We do this for one pure and simple reason: it simply needs to be done! The planet is in a state of extreme jeopardy, the oceans are at extreme threat of collapse, and the diplomats of the world have been extremely negligent of the need to protect the great whales of the Southern Ocean. Thus, the responsibility has this fallen onto us, the individuals who recognize these are extreme times.
I do take great comfort in my heartfelt belief that one day, hopefully not too far away, we will not be alone in this battle and that the fight to protect the whales, and consequently our oceans and our planet, will be the battle fought by all. A time will come when people will not be so amazed at the idea of a group of people taking time out of their own lives to weather harsh conditions and put their own lives at risk (unpaid and undaunted) in exchange for the protection of the lives of others. My solace is taken in my faith that this sacrifice and these priorities will become the norm. There will be nothing extreme about caring more for the greater good than for personal benefit, that personal action on behalf of the issues we care about will be a commonplace action. There will be nothing special or unique about a Sea Shepherd volunteer because our efforts will be a mere reflection of the actions taken by all others, all over the world.
The most inspiring thing about being involved with Sea Shepherd is that I quickly came to realize that my thoughts were not as unconventional as I once felt. There are more people out there who care about our planet and our co-inhabitants than I ever imagined, and meeting so many people with a likemind has been of great inspiration to me. On Sea Shepherd vessels there is nothing 'extreme' about being concerned for the health of our planet, nothing extreme about standing up for those who are defenseless, in contrast it is the considered the most normal thing in the world. Just as it should be!
We may number less than 100 on these three Sea Shepherd vessels, but we have plenty more brothers and sisters lining the shore who fight this battle with us, with equal measures of passion and determination.
The threat to our planet is a plight that affects all of us, thus the responsibility is equally shared between us all. These are extreme times, and they call for creative and compassionate individuals.

Innovation can happen anywhere. It shouldn't be solely entrusted to Cupertino or Mountain View nor should it be limited to self-styled visionaries in New Balance sneakers. But it does seem to happen in clusters. Why Silicon Valley? Why Waterloo? Because creativity is cultural. For the better part of a decade, the Martin Prosperity Institute at U of T's Rotman School of Management has been studying the complex web of factors that encourage and sustain innovation in regions around the world. First published in 2004, the institute's Global Creativity Index measures a nation's innovation potential, focusing on what it calls the Three Ts: technology, talent and tolerance. We used this index, but also dove deeper, to choose cities that are best positioned to nurture their creative edge into the future. "The GCI is really trying to help regions understand where they are," explains Kevin Stolarick, research director of the Martin Prosperity Institute. "Even when times are good, you have to worry about what comes next." Here are five cities —and some of their start-ups—that we think have very bright futures.
The entire population of Israel may only number seven million—smaller than New York City—but this Middle Eastern state spends more of its GDP on research and development than any other nation. And it shows. In April, 2011, Israeli software start-ups PicApp and PicScout sold for a combined $30 million (all currency in U.S. dollars) to Indian and American buyers, respectively. A month later, cellular company Provigent was snapped up by U.S. chip maker Broadcom for $313 million, while Google paid $70 million for app developer Snaptu. In September, eBay bought e-commerce site The Gifts Project for a reported $20 million. All are start-ups. All have offices in or near Tel Aviv. In the first three quarters of 2011 alone, 422 Israeli start-ups raised $1.57 billion in venture capital, and an estimated 250 multinationals maintain R&D operations there. What makes Silicon Wadi—as the coastal region between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem is known—so special? Some say that a service requirement in the country's famously high-tech military has given many young Israelis a technological sophistication that bolsters creativity and inventiveness. What we do know is that while Tel Aviv is small, it's one giant innovation engine. —Steve Brearton
"Here's how we form start-ups in Israel: A bunch of guys meet up, usually over beer; one of them comes up with an idea, everybody gets excited and, minutes later, there's a company," says Gil Hirsch, who founded Face.com in Tel Aviv with three colleagues. The idea to create a fast, highly accurate facial recognition platform—one that can identify faces in digital photographs, even at varying angles and orientations—grew out of a recurring techie meet-up that Hirsch led for several years out of a Tel Aviv auto garage.
"The most important piece was the technology," he says. Officially launched in March of 2009, Face.com's software spoke for itself when it was presented to early investors. A $200,000 seed investment came first, followed by $1 million in the company's first significant stage of funding. In 2010, another $4.3-million round of financing included a substantial investment from Russian search engine specialist Yandex.
But Face.com really made waves when Facebook integrated its site. Two Facebook-specific apps—Photo Finder and Photo Tagger—spawned calls from other developers eager to work with the technology. To gain market traction, Face.com offers its base API code for free, and currently has 30,000 developers using the platform, including an increasing number of mobile developers. Large-scale users, namely those who want to process more than 5,000 images per hour, pay a per-usage rate.
While Hirsch now spends about one week per month in California, the company's 10 employees remain based in Tel Aviv. "When it comes to things like facial recognition, Israel's engineering talent is huge, and the prices are sane," says Hirsch. "There's also no fear of failure here. Just a fear of not trying." —Andrew Braithwaite
When your city is the freeway hub for all of traffic-choked Israel, you'll find yourself stuck in your car with time to kill, often. In 2006, Israeli software engineer Ehud Shabtai decided that the pre-loaded navigation software in his PDA couldn't handle the demands of notoriously gridlocked Tel Aviv. So he hacked the mapping program to input real-time local traffic conditions. The results were halfway decent, and he decided to share the hack with others, who began contributing more data. When a cease-and-desist letter arrived from the software's manufacturer in 2009, Shabtai and a pair of friends launched Waze, a crowd-sourced GPS navigator.
As a free downloadable app running on mobile devices, Waze optimizes driving routes in real time. Drivers contribute their own live data simply by activating the program. Today, with $67 million in capital investments and eight million users across 45 countries, Waze has become a global "phenomenon." At least, so says its newly appointed California-based director of communications Michal Habdank-Kolaczkowski.
He may be right. The company claims that one in three Israelis have used the software. Since its arrival in the U.S. last year, two million users have begun contributing data, and Waze is now working to develop partnerships with broadcasters (who will feature Waze in on-air traffic reports) and auto manufacturers (with an eye toward in-car integration). In October, Chinese business magnate Li Ka-shing contributed a large chunk of Waze's most recent $30-million funding round, betting that China's booming population of drivers and smartphone users will be the firm's next market.
As Waze gears itself toward bigger things, the company's creative brain trust has shifted to Palo Alto, California, but 90% of its 65 employees remain firmly based in traffic-mad Tel Aviv. "On my recent visit to Israel, anybody who figured out I work for Waze was either trying to buy me a drink or asking me for a job," says Habdank-Kolaczkowski, laughing. "Waze is a way of life in Israel. It's a rock star." —A.B.
Herzliya, the bougie suburb just north of Tel Aviv, is one of Silicon Wadi's most important hubs. It's where you'll find the likes of Microsoft, Freescale, Matrix, Formula Group, HP and IBM, not to mention a large number of Israeli VC funds. Word is, 12-hour days are pretty normal for Tel Aviv's tech crowd, but if you're looking to find execs and entrepreneurs unwinding after the long workdays, head to one of the city's grill bars: The Whitehall Steak House and the Herzliya location of the Meat & Wine Co. are always packed after-hours. —Nancy Won
"In Israel, personal relationships aren't all that relevant to business. Israelis will do business with you within five seconds of meeting you. In fact, there's virtually no small talk at meetings. Nothing. Zero. They're very direct."
—Dr. Neal Naimer, CEO of Woojer, a Tel Aviv-based start-up. He's originally from Montreal.

The Bandage Which Saved a Life
Thank heavens United States Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords survived the horrific shooting attack back in January. If not for an innovative Israeli-designed bandage, her fate might have been less clear. Bernard Bar-Natan, a Brooklyn native who immigrated to Israel, is credited with the creation of a unique pressure-applying bandage. Used in armies around the world including the US, the county in which Giffords was shot began using the bandage in 2009. Whew.
Facebook Makes First Ever Israeli Acquisition
Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg. Heard of them? They're kind of a big deal. As part of their plot to take over the world, Facebook acquired the Israeli start-up Snaptu back in March for between sixty and seventy million dollars. We're not betting men here at Size Doesn't Matter but let's just say that while this was the first, it probably won't be their last acquisition of an Israeli company.
Better Place Sets Up Shop in Hawaii
We're double-dipping a bit here, borrowing April's Better Place story from our 2011 top 10 list. And why shouldn't we? This might only be the biggest technological innovation since, I don't know, the internet? Electric cars could completely change not just the auto industry but the energy industry as we know it. And from where I come from, that's pretty INNOVATIVE.
Israel Hosts Asian Physics Olympiad, Takes 6 Medals
A wise sage once said, "I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way." This past May, at the 12th Asian Physics Olympiad hosted in Tel Aviv, Israel's future became a little bit clearer as one of their students became the country's first gold medal winner since 2003. With countries such as China, Russia, and India also in attendance, the strong performance gives good reason to believe that Israel's technological future continues to shine brightly.
Waze: Download it NOW. (Trust Us.)
No doubt about it-using your cell phone while operating a vehicle is dangerous. Well…can you allow us to make an exception? If you seem to always be getting stuck in horrendous traffic jams, your life just changed. Meet Waze, the Israeli app which combines GPS with user input. By tracking drivers' locations, speeds, and more, Waze tells you the best route to your desired destination and keeps you updated on traffic accidents. You'll thank us later.
Israeli Device to Rid World of Dog Poo (or At Least the Bottom of Your Sneaker)
Ok, so maybe this doesn't rival putting a man on the moon, but for the lives of pedestrians who are tired of stepping in Fido's dinner from last night, isn't this a bigger deal, really? NUFAR Natural Products has developed a harness which attaches to your dog, eliminating the owner's need to…you know, shovel $#%&. Estimates for first year sales are around one BILLION dollars. If it's not the most innovative event of the year, it might just be the most awesome.
Tech Crunch Gives Israel Its Own Area at Conference
Tech Crunch is the most respected technology blog today. So when they decided to handle the increasing number of Israeli start-ups attending their Disrupt conference back in September, let's just say we noticed. With Israeli company Soluto winning first place in the 2010 competition and the unrivalled number of start-up companies coming out of the "Start-Up Nation", Tech Crunch gave these companies their own area at the conference, branded with Israeli flags and colors. Here's hoping to holding the conference in Tel Aviv next year!
Apple to Build R&D Center in Israel
If it wasn't official already, now it is: there's a whole lotta stuff happening here. Google…Intel….Microsoft….and now you can add arguably the most "it" technology company in the world to Israel with December's announcement that Apple plans to open a semiconductor R&D center in the Holy Land. When you consider that this will be the very first time Apple has opened an R&D center outside of California, well, consider us impressed.
Extreme Reality (XTR) Launching Gesture-Controlled Cell Phone
Microsoft got a lot of attention for its Kinect motion-sensing game device. Leave it to Israeli company Extreme Reality to take it to another place, combining cell phones with motion technology for, voila, a motion-sensing cell phone. Just last month, it was announced that one of Silicon Valley's heaviest hitters, Ron Conway, was behind the funding raised by XTR who scooped up another $8 million in the last round of funding. No more taking off your gloves in cold weather to make that oh-so-important phone call. One swipe and you're connected. Wow.
Israelis Develop Cancer "Cluster Bomb"
We may not yet have won the war on cancer but we're certainly putting up a fight. Just days ago, researchers at Tel Aviv University announced a new procedure to blast cancer tumors, reducing the risk of the disease returning after treatment. Working much like a cluster bomb, atoms disperse alpha particles not in one place but at increasing distances. In testing, those treated with this procedure had tumors reappear in only 50% of the cases as opposed to 100% when the tumor was removed via surgery. While cancer is nothing to smile about, these breakthroughs give us hope that we are in fact getting closer to wiping it out completely.
