The sutradhaar of Lakhon Mein Ek Pratigya shares, "This year India is celebrating it's 65th Independence Day. I am proud to a citizen of this independent country, where we have the freedom of expression. On this day, I will attend the national flag hoisting. It feels wonderful to sing our national anthem and patriotic songs as it instills a sense of pride."
Khushi from Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? says, "On Independence Day, I always think of my school days and miss it as early morning we used to hoist our national flag, sing the national anthem and perform various patriotic dramas. On this day, I will celebrate India's 65th Independence Day by listening to patriotic songs on the radio. I am truly grateful to all our freedom fighters as they are the ones who fought for our independence.
Maanvi from Ek Haazaron Mein Meri Behna Hain says, "We have all grown up listening to the song, Sab se accha Hindustan hamara, which is one of my favourite patriotic songs. Every year I visit my school and attend the flag hosting event, followed by watching a series of patriotic movies. I will follow the same schedule this year as well. Thanks to Daddaji, even Jeevikadi is here to accompany me this time. This Independence Day, I will also make sure to pray for all our soldiers, police officers and others who risk their lives to protect our country and it's people."
An excited Sandhya says, "This Independence Day I am missing my country, India, a lot. We are in Singapore for Sooraj's competition. He has gained public votes and has become one of the top three contestants and I am very happy about this. The people here appreciate and respect our Indian culture a lot and so we will surely celebrate our independence with them. I hope that Sooraj ji wins the competition and makes our country proud.
Saanchi from Ruk Jaana Nahin shares, "This Independence Day I am going to attend the flag hosting event that is organised in our university. Mehak will accompany me and Abhimanyu will also be there. There will be a celebratory atmosphere in the university, our national anthem and other patriotic songs will be sung. I am looking forward to it"
Share with us how are you going to celebrate India's 65th Independence Day?

Quake-resistant 'alien spaceship' apartment has crash site looks
Yaohua Wang Architecture's single-family "Beijing House II" can only be described as alien. Its organic-like structure and the fact that it looks like some kind of Matrix machine of war from another galaxy smashed into the side of a building makes it all the more stimulating.
Built to be attached to an old out of use Beijing factory, the Beijing House II is earthquake-resistant and has hatches for doors — perfect for hiding inside while the apocalypse rages on outside. Inside, you'll find one bedroom, one studio space, and a "green room."
The architects say they intentionally designed the apartment to utilize the space above the street and counter the popularity of large residential tower designs. All we can say is, the design is definitely out of this world.
Sadly, this 2 million dollar project will probably never fly (literally, too) — it's only a schematic plan. These lovely computer renders will just have to suffice until someone does build it.

Kid Friendly Pizza Canapes
These snazzy snacks are the perfect 'sophisticated' treat for children. Plus, it's easy for kids to help make – and customize!
Finger foods are kid favorites. So, for your little princess or superstar, why not turn them into something a bit more "sophisticated"? Break out the cocktail napkins and serving platters – it's time for canapes!
Remember these snacks? The term was popular in the '70s, but it's really just a fancy word for appetizers served during the "cocktail hour." Usually, they featured a small, toasted piece of bread topped with a snazzy spread and a garnish.
Canapes are simple to make – so kids can easily help out. Plus, after they're finished, kids can invite friends over and host an all-out canape party. (Totally "grownup!")
Check out our simple pizza canape recipe. For a different alternative, try a cold salad canape (simply go with crustless toasted bread quarters and your favorite tuna, egg or chicken salad; top with a pickle slice or dill spring) – or classic PB&J.

Pastor Maldonado has been hit with a 20-second penalty for causing the collision that put Lewis Hamilton out of the European GP.
Fighting for position on the penultimate lap of the 57-lap grand prix, the Williams driver attempted to overtake Hamilton and put all four wheels off the track.
However, he then came back on, hitting Hamilton and putting him to the wall and into retirement.
The duo were both called into the stewards' office to give their account of the incident.
However, before going in, Maldonado made it clear who he believed was to blame.
"He (Hamilton) tried a very aggressive movement on me," said the Venezuelan.
The stewards, though, did not agree and after deliberating slapped Maldonado with a 20-second penalty for "failing to rejoin the track in a safe manner."
The penalty drops Maldonado from tenth to 12th.

Over the Side Insurance -FAQs
How do I obtain insurance for equipment used on an expedition?
To arrange insurance for science equipment used in the field, on the deck of a research vessel or placed in the water as part of the research expedition, it is necessary to obtain an endorsement from the Risk Management Coordinator in the Human Resources office. Information pertaining to the value of the equipment, a description and itemized schedule of the equipment with values, the duration of the expedition, location, launch and retrieval method, and any safe gurds or redundant systems is required to obtain the insurance. You can provide this information by completing the Over-the-Side insurance request form.
What does Over the Side insurance cost?
The daily rate is $2.93 per $100 per annum prorated to the number of days at sea. If the science party signs a waiver with the vessel, the rate becomes $4.50 per $100. You can obtain an instant quote for your insurance on the OTS request page. For a formal quote, please fill out an OTS Insurance request completely. You will receive a quote via e-mail. Your insurance will not be bound until you specifically give your approval to do so. The cost of over-the-side insurance will be assigned to the project or account number you indicate in the request. The minimum premium is $1,000 and the deductible is 20% of declared values per occurrence with a $50,000 minimum and $500,000 maximum. For losses over the side when a waiver is signed, the deductible becomes a 25% coinsurance.
NOTE: Insurance costs must be already budgeted to a project in order to be allowable.
Is there a deductble on OTS insurance?
Yes, there is a deductible of 20% of declared values per occurrence with a $50,000 minimum and $500,000 maximum. If a waiver is signed with the vessel, the deductible for losses over the side becomes a 25% coinsurance.
Is the deductible applied to each piece of equipment on the equipment list?
The deductible applies for each occurrence. If there is more than one instance of loss, the deductible will be applied to each one.
Can my colleague obtain insurance for their equipment from WHOI?
WHOI's insurance is specifically for WHOI-sponsored projects. We cannot insure equipment on behalf of other institutions or individuals. If you are borrowing equipment from a colleague to use on a WHOI project, it may be insured under your project number provided the cost is allowable and there is an approved equipment loan agreement in effect. You are responsible for any communications with your colleague concerning claims, losses, or other matters pertaining to the insurance.
Can I add or change equipment on my project during the cruise and have it covered?
Yes. This requires an amended endorsement and additional premium in most cases. Contact the Risk Management Coordinator (x3517) for assistance.
How do I make a claim to my OTS insurance?
You should notify the Risk Management Coordinator (x3517) immediately if you will have a claim to your insurance. You will need to provide the date of the loss, a narrative describing the circumstances surrounding the loss, any photos of damaged equipment and proof of the declared values. If your equipment has been recovered damaged, the Risk Management Coordinator will make arrangements for a marine surveyor to visit for the purposes of evaluating the loss.

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX, United States | Member Since 2010
"a bold new path begins for D&D's favorite Drow"
Drizzt's is finally breaking with all the familiar trappings and coming to terms that all the old friends and loved ones he found at his side for aid and direction in life are going or gone and he must fine a new reason to live. Of course RS is handling this beautifully and leaves me with nothing but confident optimism and well as anticipation for what lies down the road for my favorite D&D based recurring hero. This books does a beautiful job of expressing the pain of having to move on from a chapter in your life yet transitioning wonderfully as the changing from 3.5 to 4.0 for Forgotton Realms leaves the world that Drizzt lives in ripe for new adventure.
"A amazingly good book narrated awesomely!"
Hilarious, Entertaining, Addicting!
Every Character is flushed and 3 dimensional(which is only showcased and made even more possiable by the incredible narrator's vocal talent and seemingly perfect realization of each different accent and vocal pattern.
If you don't enjoy just about EVERY moment of dialogue with Oberon then you have no funnybone!
Loved every moment of it, this book was a perfect marriage of a deep and promising magic in the real world type book with a narrator who takes a great story and makes you feel like you are right there talking with the whole cast.
"Great story, mangled by a horriable narrator."
I've physically read every book up till this book and the book prior and while I honestly enjoyed the narrators depiction of Anita in the last book while she was away from home now that she is home with her menagerie of men...i want to throttle her(and not in a sexy rough way). She audibly rapes the listeners ears for over half the male cast(and all you long time readers know that the MALE cast has grown significantly). I particularly cringe like it's nails on a chalkboard every time she tries to use "her" Micah voice. She gave him this bad BAAAAAAD attempt at a woman trying to do a stereotypical Scottish accent and it pulled me out of the book like a high speed car impact every time he came into a scene. Love the series and if she's the narrator for the next one then I'm just going to go back to the paper version if I'm going to be able to enjoy it without pain again.
The best long term supernatural lover/killer is back and this time the threat is too close to home...it's bad narration!

U.S. oil gusher blows out projections
The United States' rapidly declining crude oil supply has made a stunning about-face, shredding federal oil projections and putting energy independence in sight of some analyst forecasts.
After declining to levels not seen since the 1940s, U.S. crude production began rising again in 2009. Drilling rigs have rushed into the nation's oil fields, suggesting a surge in domestic crude is on the horizon.
The number of rigs in U.S. oil fields has more than quadrupled in the past three years to 1,272, according to the Baker Hughes rig count. Including those in natural gas fields, the United States now has more rigs at work than the entire rest of the world.
"It's staggering," said Marshall Adkins, who directs energy research for the financial services firm Raymond James. "If we continue growing anywhere near that pace and keep squeezing demand out of the system, that puts you in a world where we are not importing oil in 10 years."
There are doubts that energy independence is that close. But many say the booming shale oil fields in Texas and North Dakota and the growth of deep-water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico will allow the nation to cut its reliance on oil imports significantly over the next couple of decades.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The New Jersey Nets will play most or all of the 2009-10 NBA season in New Jersey instead of Brooklyn, a team spokesman said Thursday. The Nets had planned to play at their new arena in New York starting in 2009. But spokesman Barry Baum said the move to Brooklyn wouldnt happen until sometime in 2010. The Nets could possibly begin the season at the Izod Center in East Rutherford and move to the new arena, to be called the Barclays Center, in the first half of 2010, Baum said. In October, Nets principal owner Bruce Ratner told The Associated Press that the new arena probably would not be ready by the start of the 2009-2010 season. Under terms of their contract with the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, which operates the Izod Center, the Nets have to give 18 months notice before they leave to avoid paying a penalty, Baum said. The Nets havent broken ground on the new arena, which is part of the Atlantic Yards development that is also set to include office space and as many as 6,400 new apartments. The US$4-billion project has faced legal challenges from local residents and environmental groups. Ray Rice Jersey . —Jon Cornish just needed a rest. Haloti Ngata Jersey . Forwards Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks and Joffrey Lupul of the Toronto Maple Leafs were also honoured. Thomas won all nine of his starts in November with a 1. http://www.baltimoreravensmall.com/torrey-smith-jerseys .S. federal agents in Puerto Rico have seized more than US$4 million worth cocaine from a house owned by pro boxer Ivan Calderon. Torrey Smith Jersey . "I think people know that," Melvin said Thursday. Melvin confirmed Greinkes availability in comments to USA Today and Milwaukees WTMJ radio earlier Thursday. Melvin did not go into detail on how many teams have expressed interest in the 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner, saying only that the trade market always heats up with the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaching. Torrey Smith Youth Jersey . —Canadians Peter Polansky and Samuel Monette advanced to the quarter-finals of the $15,000 Sherbrooke National Bank Futures tennis event with wins on Thursday. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. —Kyle Williams has taken the next big step forward on a surgically repaired left foot. The Buffalo Bills defensive tackle has been cleared to practice on a limited basis. "Yeah, its good to be back even for just a few plays here and there," Williams said Tuesday after taking part in about half of the full-team sessions with his fellow starters in the second week of voluntary practices. "Just getting my foot in the door. And hopefully, when we get to training camp, I can be full bore." Williams recovery is a little bit ahead of schedule after being cleared for practice last week by both team doctors and specialist Robert Anderson. It was Anderson who performed the operation in November to remove bone spurs that were tearing at the players Achilles tendon. After participating in only individual drills during the first voluntary minicamp practice last week, Williams said he took part in only a snap or two per team session on Thursday and Friday. Coach Chan Gailey said hes taking an extremely cautious approach in easing Williams back into practice. Though hes experiencing some soreness, Williams said that was to be expected as part of the recovery process. The best part is that he no longer has to drill a big hole in the back of his left cleat, as he did last year, to relieve the pressure of the injury that had been nagging him for much of his six-year NFL career. A starter since his rookie season, Williams was a 2010 Pro Bowl selection and the teams most consistent defensive lineman. He had also proven durable, having missed just two games before last season, whhen Williams lasted just five games and sat out three more before electing to have season-ending surgery.dddddddddddd Williams is being counted on to anchor a revamped defensive line that features new pass-rushing specialist defensive end Mario Williams, who was signed in free agency in March. Its also a unit that should include defensive end Shawne Merriman, who returned to practice last week after having season-ending surgery in November to repair a partially torn right Achilles tendon. Gailey is impressed by what hes seen so far from Merriman, the three-time Pro Bowl selection who has been limited to playing in just eight games over the past two seasons because of the injury. "He looks quick to me. Hes coming off the edge with that same speed and quickness that I remember," Gailey said, of the NFLs 2005 Defensive Rookie of the Year. "The best thing about it is that he says he feels good. Its not one of those where hes feeling something or trying to hide something." In other injury news, Gailey said backup quarterback Tyler Thigpen will miss at least this week of practice because of an abdominal strain. Gailey believes Thigpen should return next week. Thigpen is competing with newly acquired free agent Vince Young for the No. 2 job behind starter Ryan Fitzpatrick. Right tackle Erik Pears will be out until training camp next month after having minor surgery, Gailey said, without specifying what was repaired. The Bills have two more voluntary practices this week, and four next week before opening a three-day mandatory minicamp on June 19. ' ' '

Not Getting Enough Sleep
Your genes might be to blame, study suggests
Most people know someone who never sleeps but is always full of energy. On the other hand you have the heavy sleepers, those who can spend more than ten hours in bed and still not feel rested enough. Have you ever wondered how they do it?
The truth is that the average length of sleep varies between individuals. Indeed, it actually also changes over time and many factors influence how much sleep you are getting, including age, lifestyle, gender and even climate. It's clear that there is no ideal period of time of sleep that everyone conforms to.
What's the reason behind these variations? Why don't humans all sleep the exact same amount of hours in the same pattern? It seems that people suffering from insomnia have their ancestors to blame, so to speak, as a new study by an international team of researchers indicates that the cause of not being able to sleep at night is probably genetic in nature. The study found a "common" genetic variant that heavily influences the amount of time the participants spend in sleep mode on average in a 24 hour cycle. When it manifests, the straint has a "significant effect on sleep duration."
According to the details as reported by The Sleep Foundation, "more than 4.000 people from seven European populations, from countries as diverse as Estonia and Italy, took part in the project, and filled out a questionnaire designed to assess their sleeping habits".
The resulting behavioural data was then submitted for analysis against the participants' genetic data, a test which showed that individuals who displayed two copies of the common genetic strain ABCC9 slept significantly less. Therefore that genetic variation is responsible for not getting enough sleep. It seems the gene has evolved with the human race since ancient times, and is similiar to a gene that is present in fruit flies, which also show similiar sleep behaviours.
It is important to note however, that as with any physical symptoms, sleep insomnia is a sleep disorder and genetic causes may only be underlying factors. As our R&T Department published paper shows, other factors such as the sleeping environment itself, as well as psychological and neurological conditionalso play a heavy role in perpetuating sleep problems.
Have you experienced times when you just couldn't sleep? How did you mange?

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Authorities say actor Edward Furlong has been arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on suspicion of domestic violence.
Airport police say the star of "Terminator 2" and "American History X" was arrested after officers responded to an arrival area late Monday.
He was booked on suspicion of felony domestic violence involving a spouse or girlfriend. Police did not identify the person who Furlong allegedly injured. The actor's divorce from estranged wife Rachael Kneeland is pending.
Jail records show the 35-year-old is being held on $50,000 bail.
His publicist R.J. Rousso did not immediately respond to phone and email messages seeking comment.

Improving Literacy and Math: Two Programs with Potentially Positive Effects
enVisionMATH is a core curriculum for students in grades KŌĆō6. The program seeks to help students develop an understanding of math concepts through problem-based instruction, small-group interaction, and visual learning with a focus on reasoning and modeling. The WWC reviewed two studies that investigated the effects of enVisionMATH on the math performance of elementary school students. One of the studies meets WWC evidence standards without reservations and included 1,156 elementary school students in grades 2ŌĆō4 in eight locations across the United States. Based on this study, the WWC determined that enVisionMath has potentially positive effects on mathematics achievement for elementary school students. Read the full report now at http://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/interventionreport.aspx?sid=618.

|What do you use to make your artwork?
I use Winsor & Newton watercolor paints, Arches hot press watercolor paper, Strathmore drawing paper, Sakura Micron pens, mechanical pencils, and Adobe Photoshop CS6 to make my pieces.
How about a tutorial?
If you discover how an illusionist performs, his acts are no longer magic, they are only tricks.
Who are your inspirations?
I adore the work of Arthur Rackham, Edward Gorey, Edmund Dulac, John Bauer, Dr. Seuss, Maurice Sendak, Tony DiTerlizzi, Chris Riddell, Gris Grimly, and hundreds of others. I'm not only inspired by painters, but also musicians, film makers, and writers.
Are your taking commissions?
Yes! Finally, I've opened commissions! But due to demand, I only accept 5 at a time. To get on my waiting list and get a quote, e-mail me: email@example.com
Do you sell prints?
Yes! My shop is right over here: society6.com/abigaillarson
Do you have a(n) artbook/novel/comic book/something I can physically hold with your work in it?
"Midnight Phantasmagory" was just released, and I have two pieces in that, as well as "Spectrum:18" "Sketching from the Imagination" and "Art Fundamentals" which you can order on Amazon.com.
I've done cover work for several anthologies and novels, including: "The Orphan and the Thief," "The Pumpkin House," "The Gothic Blue Book I -III," "Loteria," and "Santa Muerte" among others, all available on Amazon.
My debut children's book, "Sarah Faire and the House at the End of the World" was released in 2013. You can grab it at www.sarahfaire.com!
When will you finish (insert project name)?
All of my projects are very dear to me, and I intend to finish them all. "Amarantha's Red Ribbon," the Halloween alphabet and my retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" are all still in limbo, but they're all coming along, I promise!
Can I have tattoos made of your work?
Of course! I love when people get tattoos of my work, and I love getting photos of the finished products! E-mail me your photos at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Can I use your work on my social networking site?
Yes! You're welcome to use my artwork on your blog, twitter, facebook, myspace, livejournal, etc. with the proper credit somewhere on your page.
My artwork is here to share, but please keep in mind that this is how I make a living. Don't rip off my work and say it's yours, and don't try to make money from it. I have an army of minion creeps who look out for me, and they'll find you. They always do.
Can I use your work as a reference for my drawing?
If you're genuinely referencing my artwork, not simply copying one of my pieces, feel free to do so! All I ask is that you mention my work as your source of inspiration - and I'd love a link to the piece!
The only thing I absolutely cannot condone, is if you're copying my work (or any artist's work for that matter) and then selling it. Draw your own rad stuff, yeah?
I'm an art student, and I have some questions about my terrifying future as an artist! Help!
I'll be happy to give some advice or answer a few questions for you! E-mail them to me at: email@example.com.
Can you look at my DeviantArt gallery and critique my work?
I wish I had the time to! If I'm having a slow day I can get to a few if you post a link somewhere on my page, but I just can't get to everyone, I'm sorry!
I can't reply to every comment, but the ones on my front page or the ones with questions I try to answer briefly when I have time to do so.

In 2010, Mountainfilm in Telluride examined the issue of extinction for our Moving Mountains Symposium. The list of endangered creatures has been growing for generations, a crisis E.O. Wilson and other scientists say is caused by human destruction to natural habitats.
World governments have committed to try to halt the extinction of species and safeguard important biodiversity sites for nature by 2020, but this promise hasn't seen much serious number crunching. Until now.
A recent study, published in Science, sets the price at $80 billion per year — the sum of $4 billion annually and another $76 billion to protect and manage key habitats.
Come November 6, in addition to the national election and other state ballot issues, a few million Californians will vote on food. California, long the rebel state that paves the way for the rest of the nation, has Proposition 37 on the menu ballot, which would require that genetically modified (G.M.) foods carry a label.
It seems a simple concept to let people know what they're eating, but as food author, journalist and activist and Michael Pollan writes in an article titled "Vote for the Dinner Party," Big Food doesn't see it that way:
Mountainfilm in Telluride 2012 focused on population, and although the Moving Mountains Symposium is over, we're not closing the door on the discussion. It's a many-layered subject and affects most every ecosystem on the planet.
In this video, Joel Cohen, a professor of populations at Rockefeller and Columbia Universities (who couldn't make it to our symposium), outlines the complexity of the topic while simultaneously simplifying the difficult subject.
Before you begin, a few caveats:
If the caveats deter you in any way from setting aside 43 minutes to watch, here are a few incentives to counteract them:
Mountainfilm travels all over the world — Brazil, Chile, China and Norway in just the last month — but New York City is, at first glance, an unlikely locale for the festival. Aside from the obvious physical landscape, there are also profound cultural differences. As someone who has lived in both places, however, I know that there are more common interests than one might think.

As someone who has lived in both places, however, I know that there are more common interests than one might think.
In this northern region, approximately 90 to 94 million people age 16 and older engage in outdoor recreation that ranges from hunting and fishing to orienteering, kayaking and mountain biking. The most popular activities are pretty tame: walking for pleasure, family gatherings outdoors, viewing/ photographing natural scenery, visiting outdoor nature centers,gardening or landscaping, and picnicking.
Peter Kenworthy, the executive director for Mountainfilm in Telluride, is in Chile right now for the International Rural Film Festival, which is part of a larger nonprofit, Fundacion Altiplano, that aims to support and sustain the culture and economies of small Andean communities in the northernmost parts of Chile. He shares the following from his adventures:
This fall marked the opening of wolf hunting season in five states: Wyoming, Idaho, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Montana. Listening to the controversy between ranchers and conservation groups over the species can leave a person enraged, numb or simply wondering why we can't all live in harmony on this massive chunk of land.
The gray wolf, which was hunted to near extinction until the 1930s and 1940s, has mostly rebounded, thanks to Federal and state endangered species acts. Its numbers now run around 5,000 in the lower 48 and a little over 11,000 in Alaska (where, as Mother Jone's reports, they've never been protected).
A recent NPR story about wolf hunting discusses how the wolf population in Montana has grown dramatically, even with hunting. This year, wildlife officials there have abandoned the statewide kill limit and almost doubled the length of the season.
2012 marks the third year since we launched our Mountainfilm Commitment Grant program. Our goal is to help creative individuals tell stories that represent the spirit of Mountainfilm in Telluride. We've watched the number of applicants grow each year and been impressed by both the quality and diversity of the proposals. This year, the five grantees are working on films that range in subject from climbing to gold mining:

MASA Minnesota Superintendent of the Year
Thank You to
ATS&R Planners/Architects/Engineers
Completed nominations must be received by
The Minnesota Association of School Administrators (MASA) is inviting nominations for the 2015 Minnesota Superintendent of the Year. The recipient of this prestigious award will be a candidate among other state winners for National Superintendent of the Year. The 2015 AASA National Superintendent of the Year is announced at the AASA National Conference on Education in San Diego, CA, February 26-28, 2015.
Any superintendent, chancellor or top leader of a school system in the United States who plans to continue in the profession may be nominated. This program is designed to recognize the outstanding leadership of active, front-line superintendents. It is not recognition of service at retirement or a program to reward current state or national leaders.
Selection Criteria:
• Leadership for Learning – creativity in successfully meeting the needs of students in his or her school system.
• Communication – strength in both personal and organizational communication.
• Professionalism – constant improvement of administrative knowledge and skills, while providing professional development opportunities and motivation to others on the education team.
• Community Involvement – active participation in local community activities and an understanding of regional, national, and international issues.
Nomination Procedure:
Superintendents may nominate themselves, or they may be nominated by school board members, parents, colleagues and/or community members.
Selection Process:
• Each state association of school administrators selects a State Superintendent of the Year. The Minnesota Superintendent of the Year Award recipient is selected by a panel of representatives from a variety of Minnesota education organizations convened by MASA. MASA will then forward the state candidate to the national competition.
• A national blue-ribbon panel of judges selects four finalists for AASA National Superintendent of the Year from among the 49 eligible State Superintendents of the Year. The judging panel is composed of distinguished leaders in education. The panel's decision will be based on the written applications and the letters of recommendation.
• The blue-ribbon panel interviews the four national finalists in Washington, D.C., to select the AASA National Superintendent of the Year.
Recognition for Minnesota Superintendent of the Year:
• MASA will announce the award via member email and a press release as soon as the selection is made and the candidates are notified.
• The recipient will be asked to speak at various events, such as the Minnesota Breakfast at the national AASA convention (San Diego, CA February 26-28, 2015) and the MASA Spring Conference (Brooklyn Park, MN, March 12-13, 2015).
• Thanks to our sponsor ATS&R Planners/Architects/Engineers, the recognition includes a monetary award that can be used to support attendance at conferences, or for any other purpose the recipient chooses.
• An additional part of the state award is the opportunity to celebrate within the school community with a local event, the format of which is determined by the school community.
• The Governor typically hosts the recipient along with other state education honorees at a short reception at the capitol.
• The Minnesota Superintendent of the Year will also be honored at the AASA National Conference on Education in February.
MASA will then forward the state candidate to the national competition:
• The 2015 AASA National Superintendent of the Year is honored at the 2015 AASA National Superintendent of the Year is announced at the AASA National Conference on Education in San Diego, CA February 26-28, 2015
• A $10,000 scholarship is awarded to a student in the high school from which the National Superintendent of the Year graduated, or to a student in a high school from which the National Superintendent of the Year is the current superintendent.
MASA is a professional organization whose mission is to establish the statewide agenda for children, serve as the preeminent voice for public education, and empower members through quality services and support. MASA members are school superintendents, directors of special education, other central office school administrators, regional administrators, and higher education administrators and professors from throughout Minnesota.
The AASA National Superintendent of the Year Program pays tribute to the talent and vision of the men and women who lead our nation's public schools. This program is sponsored by ARAMARK Education, VALIC and AASA.

'Bombastic Bushkin' Reveals the Man Behind The Tonight Show Curtain
There are so many great anecdotes in A Hard Act to Follow, attorney Henry Bushkin's February 19 book about his deeply invested professional and personal relationships with Johnny Carson, that it's difficult to know where to start. But from an LA perspective, here are a few stories to whet the appetite.
Bushkin recalls the night Carson first used the term "Bombastic Bushkin" in a monologue, right after Tonight Show writer Pat McCormick coined it during a Beverly Hills poker game. Although the talk show host made sure to double check that Bushkin would be OK with the gag, the attorney's mother was aghast, calling within minutes of the joke being delivered on-air to ask her son if he was about to be canned. The next day, Carson insisted on calling mom personally to reassure that all was well.
Then there's the first major business deal engineered in LA by Bushkin. Together with several other investors, Carson purchased independent Las Vegas area TV station KVVU (now a FOX affiliate) for $1,000,000. Some ten years later, Bushkin says the station was flipped for $25,000,000.

Day 98: Hermione Visits Diagon Alley
Sadly, I learned that the Magic Alley sim has been shut down. Fortunately, the new Wizard's Alley sim has re-opened to take its place :)
Welcome to Diagon Alley, wizards, witches, and Muggles. OK, Muggles (thats most of you) really arent suppose to be here. But I guess I can let you in for a sneak peek :)
As most of you probably know already, Diagon Alley is a popular shopping area in the Harry Potter series of books and movies. As you know, Harry Potter is a series of books about the adventures of Hermione Granger during her school days at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Diagon Alley is where Hermione and her schoolmates get their school supplies.
And now, you can go to Diagon Alley in Second Life :) But if you are a Muggle, dont tell them I told you about it, OK? :P
Diagon Alley is actually a shopping area. I normally dont talk about shopping areas. But Diagon Alley is so cool, youve gotta come see it!
There is also a very lively role-playing group that haunts Diagon Alley. Dont worry, you dont need to be part of the role-playing to see Diagon Alley. But its fun to see little Hogwarts students running around with their robes and wands :)
All the shops here carry magic and Harry Potter related items. Remember the newspapers and signs in the Harry Potter movies with the moving pictures? Well, they sell animated posters here that look exactly like the ones in the movie!
Quidditch, anyone? There is a Quidditch Supplies store here (its still being setup though). I like the pink one...but green really doesnt go with pink...
And a Harry Potter clothing store, where you can purchase your own Hogwarts robes and Quidditch outfits. They dont carry Yule Ball gowns at the moment though...hmmm...maybe one of the Muggles has some :)
And of course, theres a magic store here! Full of brooms, wands, spellbooks, charms, and other magical stuff. And the wands arent just for looks: They can cast real spells! Amazing! :)
And when you are done with shopping, stop on by the Leaky Cauldron for a drink. Just beware of the dark wizards! :P
Diagon Alley is just part of the Magic Alley sim, which is currently under construction. Only the Diagon Alley area is open to the public.
They are currently building the Hogwarts School, along with the town of Hogsmead.
***Update: the Magic Alley sim has been permanently shut down. Fortunately, the new Wizard's Alley sim has re-opened to take its place :)
Alright, most of you are probably wondering whats up with my outfit.
Some of you die-hard Harry Potter fans may recognize it as Hermione Granger's dress at the Yule Ball. The scary thing is that 2 people DID recognize it when I took these pix in Diagon Alley :P
BTW, I like her poseball better :P
This is definitely the most challenging outfit I have made so far! I spent a fortune in upload fees alone getting all the colors right.
This outfit has prim shoulder ruffles, similar to the Clubbing and Padme outfits. Except this one is behind the shoulders and less noticeable. Prim sleeves is becoming a regular thing with me, I guess!
Of course, the most dramatic part about this dress is the skirt. 6 layers of flexi prim skirts, with 9 to 10 flexi prims per layer, for a total of 58 flexi prims on the skirt alone. Heehee dont expect to win any sailing races wearing this skirt! :P
The skirt alone uses 6 different textures, including a number of layers with gradients that transition from one shade to another.
Actually, Hermione's dress has even more layers and more ruffles per layer. I could probably have made it, but Im not sure the servers could handle it! :)
The skirt is actually not 1 attachment, but 5 different attachments: Pelvis, Upper Right Leg, Upper Left Leg, Lower Right Leg, and Lower Left Leg. Along with the ribbon belt and shoes, it basically uses all of the lower body attachment points!
Each attachment point has 2 layers of skirt. The trick was to get them lined up properly. Not an easy thing, because as soon as you link 2 layers together, they become very difficult to adjust. I finally ended up positioning the skirts in the air at precise locations (entering numbers by hand around The Spot). That enabled me to record their positions before I linked them. I Wear the skirt to see what adjustments need to be made, then reposition the skirts in the air and re-link.
There was also the matter of splitting up the left and right sides of the lower skirts. If I had put all 6 layers in a single skirt, the lower panels would fly out if I simply leaned in one direction. It also looked very strange when I walked. Believe me, I tried it :)
I got frustrated, and realized that they needed to be leg attachments instead. So I made one set for each leg, taking care to overlap slightly in the back (in case I am standing with my feet apart).
So the really cool thing is that this skirt could be worn with all or just some of the layers. Also, I effectively learned how to make a mermaid skirt (one with flexi prims at the bottom of a long, tight skirt). I needed this for an upcoming outfit! :)
Whew! What a skirt! Im so glad it came out. I even went to a masquerade ball tonight to try it out. Because the lower layers are attached to the leg, the skirt even moves well! :)
Hmmm...I wonder if that magic quill could do blog entries... :)

Exports of beef and pork increased at a double-digit pace in the first quarter of 2011 and continued strong growth is projected for the rest of the year, according to the U.S. Meat Export Federation.
U.S. beef exports to the world increased 53 percent in value and 32 percent in volume in the first three months of 2011 compared to the same period last year. Pork exports were up 25 percent in value and 18 percent in volume, said Philip Seng, president and chief executive officer of the federation.
Seng spoke on a media conference call Wednesday from the U.S. Meat Export Federation meeting in Washington. Meat exports are an important segment of the containerized shipping industry and contribute to the growing U.S. agricultural export trade with Asia.
Any restraints to export growth this year are expected to result from non-commercial issues. For example, meat exports to most markets increased in the first quarter, but were down 5 percent to Mexico because of a cross-border dispute involving Mexican truck access to the U.S., Seng noted.
Beef exports to Taiwan also dropped because of that country's "zero tolerance" involving safety standards, he noted.
China's ban on U.S. beef imports since the 2003 mad cow issue is a significant hindrance to exports. The U.S. has cleared up such concerns with most countries, and if China ever lifts the ban, it could easily become a top 10 importer of beef.
China is a major market for U.S. pork, where pork is the meat of choice among consumers. The U.S. share of pork shipments to China jumped to 40 percent in the first quarter of 2011 from 16 percent last year.
South Korea has emerged as one of the fastest growing markets for U.S. beef, with exports to that country increasing 181 percent in the first quarter. If Congress approves the U.S. free trade agreement negotiated with South Korea, meat exports are expected to grow strongly.
Asia's currencies are taking the lead of China and are gradually appreciating against the dollar. If this trend continues, U.S. meat exports to Asia will grow further as the weaker dollar makes U.S. exports more competitive in those markets.
Seng also encouraged support for the government's Market Access Program, which addresses non-scientific barriers to exports of U.S. agricultural products. Although funding is tight because of the federal budget problem, the U.S. receives an economic benefit of $35 for every dollar invested in exports, Seng noted.

The Renshinkan is a Jiyushinkai dojo in Mesa, Arizona. We study various traditional Japanese Budo [martial ways] using the modern educational methods given to us by our teachers. As is the tradition in classical martial arts schools, we are not a commercial business, but rather a dedicated group of students striving to learn what has been passed down from our teachers over the years.
The word renshin holds particular significance to us, not only as a reminder of where we come from, but also of what we are working toward. The name Renshinkan comprises the following characters:
Ren is a metallurgical term that refers to polishing and forging. As repeatedly pounding heated iron refines and tempers it, so is the student refined and tempered through repeated training. Ultimately, the student will become their own anvil, hammer, and fire.
Shin means heart or spirit. Shin is also significant in that it is a character that is also used in the name of our family, Jiyushinkai. This character was specifically chosen to show our lineage and connection to our family.
Kan means hall or building. It is a commonly-used suffix in Japanese dojo names.
We do not take part in tournaments or competitions of any sort. Nor are we a commercial dojo in the normal sense; we are a family. As such, we tend to have rather strict guidelines for entrance.
Our dojo follows Kano's maxims seiryoku zen'yo [best use of energy] and jita kyoei [mutual welfare]. If a technique will not work when done by a small person against a large person without resorting to speed, pain, or excessive physical force, the technique is either invalid or is being done improperly.
Prospective students are required to watch four full classes and pass interviews with senior dojo members before being allowed to request to join the dojo. This is done so that you can get to know us and we can get to know you. Instructors reserve the right to waive this requirement if a senior dojo member personally vouches for you.
All students in good standing from other Jiyushinkai dojo are welcome to train with us. We have no "mat fee." We just ask that you let us know in advance when you are coming, how long you will be here, and who your teacher is if we haven't met you yet.
Please note that we do not offer classes for children at this time. The youngest we will generally consider accepting is age 13.
If you have a serious interest in engaging in sincere spirit forging in a joyous environment, feel free to contact us.
Jiyushinkai is an independent group with roots in the teaching methods of Kano Jigoro, Mifune Kyuzo, Ueshiba Morihei, Tomiki Kenji, Ohba Hideo, Nishioka Tsuneo, and Miyake Tsunako sensei. The senior students of the Jiyushinkai are motivated to teach the less experienced how to "stand on their teachers' shoulders" as the saying goes. We all have much to learn from each other.
For more information on Jiyushinkai, including our seminar schedule, teacher bios, history, and philosophy, please see our organization's official website: Jiyushinkai.org.

Horne Street Elementary School joins Fisher Cats reading challenge
Tuesday, December 18, 2012
DOVER – The New Hampshire Fisher Cats visited Horne Street Elementary School recently to introduce the school to a special reading program. The Fisher Cats and their mascot, Fungo, presented students with the Fisher Cats Reading Challenge, presented by the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH).
During the assembly, Fungo, assisted by Fisher Cats staff members, expressed his love of reading while laying out his challenge. When a student reads an additional five books beyond their normal school assignments, they'll earn a pair of tickets to a Fisher Cats Reading Challenge Night scheduled in 2013 at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, courtesy of CCSNH.
"New Hampshire's community colleges are proud of the students at Horne Street Elementary School," said Shannon Reid, Director of Communications for the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH). "Literacy is a key element of academic achievement, increasing children's confidence and making them better communicators as they grow. We look forward to celebrating with the students from Horne Street Elementary at the ballpark in 2013."
Last year, the Reading Challenge reached 55,000 students in nearly 150 schools, with ten schools generating 100-percent participation. Since its inception in 2007, more than 150,000 students have learned the importance of reading through the Fisher Cats and CCSNH.

Great Streets
Tags: American Planning Association, APA, arequipa, Greenville, pedestrian, streetscape
The APA has announced the results of its 2009 Great Places in America awards. I was really pleased to see Main Street in Greenville, SC celebrated as a 2009 Great Street! Greenville's Main Street was one of the reasons I chose to go to university in the city. Main Street is definitely a lively and attractive place, filled with bustling restaurants, heritage storefronts, shops, ice cream parlors, public art, benches, trees, and plazas.
Some of the highlights of Main Street are the new trolley bus, Falls Park and the Liberty Bridge, Greenville Drive baseball, and the street itself, which is often used for festivals like Artisphere and Fall for Greenville. Did I mention all the shops, restaurants, and ice cream joints?
Another unique aspect of Main Street an area filled with working art studios along Falls Park, named Art Crossing. The fine arts and sculpture studios, which look onto a beautiful river park, are interspersed with restaurants and have a mix of condos and hotel amenities above. From the art studios, you can walk along the park to the Liberty Bridge, which overlooks a spectacular waterfall.
Greenville is doing something right. In Death and Life of Great American Cities, Jane Jacobs calls for streets that demarcate public and private space, are lined with mixed uses, and that have people on the street throughout the day. She believes this is important so that people use the sidewalks for different purposes at different times of the day, regulating public behavior and keeping the area safe. The more that people use sidewalks, the more people are attracted to walk on the street. Greenville achieve this by putting homes, hotels, offices, shops, galleries, bars, coffee shops, restaurants, and banks along Main Street. The street is comfortable to walk along, because there are benches, shading trees, and large crosswalks. Street parking, short blocks, and plenty of crosswalks help slow traffic down along Main, too. No matter the time of day, the street feels safe.
If you're interested in reading more about what makes a great street or a great place, you may enjoy J. Jacobs' Death and Life of Great American Cities, A. Jacobs' Great Streets, and E. White's Path-Portal-Place.
On a related note, here's a cool video about a Peruvian city, Arequipa, that closed off a once-pedestrian main street to cars.

We are currently conducting a survey among visitors to playlsi.com
We value your feedback, and would appreciate if you took a few minutes to answer some questions. Thanks!
The benefits to children of free play and daily exposure to nature have been researched and reported in nearly every media outlet in the past recent years. The cry to overcome "nature deficit disorder" coined by Richard Louv in his seminal book Last Child in the Woods, has sparked calls for a "Last Child on the Couch" campaign. Playground planners have an opportunity to create play spaces that encourage children and families to get outdoors, interact with their environment, learn about their natural surroundings, and encourage the reconnection between children and nature.
This education session explores the range of natural play environments from wild spaces to more planned, natural play and outdoor learning environments. We will identify the unique characteristics of each including programming options to maximize user participation and education, and lastly, how and when safety and accessibility standards apply.
Landscape Structures is authorized by IACET to offer .20 CEUs for this session and 1.5 CEUs/Professional Development Units by LA CES. Upon completion of the session, participants will possess the ability to:
Contact your Landscape Structures playground consultant to find out how to bring the Designing Natural Play Environments Learning Academy session to your community or organization.
Landscape Structures has been approved as an Authorized Provider by both IACET and LA CES™.

Disaster Preparedness Manual Available for AG Offices
In January 2012, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's office hosted both a National Attorneys General Training and Research Institute (NAGTRI) workshop as well as the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) Southern Regional meeting in Tampa. The subject of both was disaster preparedness with the ultimate goal of creating a manual specific to attorneys general offices.
Meeting presenters were Attorneys General Sam Olens (GA), James D. "Buddy" Caldwell (LA), Chris Koster (MO), Roy Cooper (NC), Wayne Stenehjem (ND), Alan Wilson (SC), Robert Cooper, Jr., (TN) and their staff who have confronted disasters in their respective states. They presented conferees with tools and practices that can assist an attorney general's office in preparing in advance of disaster, keeping the office in operation during a disaster and dealing with the aftermath.
From the meetings' discussion and work, NAGTRI produced "Preparing for the Unexpected: A Disaster Preparedness Manual and Resource Guide for State Attorneys General." The manual is unique from others that have been done by other federal state and local entities for several reasons, particularly that it is designed to be specific to the office of attorney general. It is considerably smaller and therefore more practical for implementation and the comprehensive checklist format, if followed, is designed to simplify delegation of duties and accomplish the goal of preparedness.
In addition, the manual contains 10 stories submitted by state attorneys general offices describing crucial aspects of lessons learned from disasters in their states. There is also a section specifically devoted to the legal issues arising in disaster response and recovery that an attorney general and staff need to address. Last, there is a link to forms and documents that will prove helpful.
"While we all hope that a disaster doesn't occur, it is imperative that we all take the time to be equipped to handle the plethora of issues that arise before, during and after an event, whether it is related to weather, terrorism, public health or otherwise," said Attorney General Bondi when describing and distributing the new manual to attorneys general at a NAAG Annual Meeting, Nov. 27-29 in Fort Lauderdale.
The manual will be available free online for attorneys general and their staff and additional hard copies to attorneys general offices can be provided. For more information about the manual, contact the editors, Judy McKee, NAGTRI deputy director, email@example.com or Blair Tinkle, NAAG general counsel and congressional liaison, email@example.com.
Beginning in 2013, the public will be able to order hard copies for $40 from NAGTRI, http://www.naag.org/publications.php.
