Today was my 1st day back since finding out last week that I had a missed m/c.
One of the first things I did when I arrived was talk to my boss and explain what happened...and I must admit I had a little melt-down in the process. But she was really understanding and told me I could take as much time as I needed, even to escape the office and hide out in a meeting room for a breather. I managed to stop the tears and we headed back to our office...where lo and behold my coworker was in the midst of announcing her own pregnancy to my other coworkers! I felt the wind go out of me...but I put on my happy face and walked over to her and gave her a hug. I think it was just the grace of God that allowed me to remain my composure.
She's due June 7th...I was supposed to be due June 10th. I really AM happy for her as I know they had been trying for over a year, but my heart still ached with jealousy. It was just bad timing, you know? I hope this doesn't make me a horrible person I feel awful...
BFP #1: 12/2009 m/c 1/2010 BFP #2: 6/2010 m/c 8/2010
BFP #3: 10/2011 ectopic 11/2011 (right tube removed, learned left tube was probably nonfunctional due to scar tissue from infection after m/c)
3 failed IUIs, IVF #1: 18R, 12M, 10F, 3 poor quality 5d embryos transferred= BFP #4!!!!!
Betas: 9dp5dt: 64 ~14dp5dt: 91 (expecting miscarriage, doubling time of 236 hours) ~16dp5dt: 200~18dp5dt: 500
First Ultrasound at 6w2d revealed two sacs, only one with a heartbeat
Laura Kate arrived after 42 weeks on August 14, 2013! Beautiful, healthy, and happy!
I can understand where your coming from. My SIL is pregnant and announced her pregnancy the same week we found out we lost ours. We were due days apart from each other.
She has been very supportive and understands our heartache. As I understand she is still going to have her baby.
It's going to hurt a lot, I am just hoping I can be pregnant before her LO is due.

WellPoint Raises 2014 Financial Outlook
WellPoint, Inc. (NYSE: WLP) today raised its full year 2014 earnings outlook and provided detailed financial guidance for the year in conjunction with its Investor Conference taking place in New York City. The Company now expects full year 2014 net income to be greater than $8.20 per share, driven by growth of 1.0 to 1.3 million net new medical members and mid-single digit percent increases in both operating revenue and operating gain. Additional details of the outlook are included in the financial guidance summary table.
"We are building on the positive operating momentum we've achieved across the organization over the last year. While it is early in 2014, we are encouraged by results thus far across our businesses and we believe Exchanges are tracking our general expectations. As such, we are raising our 2014 earnings outlook from 'greater than $8.00' per share to 'greater than $8.20' per share. Our updated outlook reflects solid growth in membership, revenue and operating earnings. Our outlook also remains prudent in light of the dynamic nature of the marketplace, and we believe this is a point from which we will grow in the future.

Supplementary information:
|2014 amounts reflect the conversion of 1.1 million New York state account members to a self-funding arrangement. This is expected to unfavorably impact 2014 Operating Revenue by approximately $2 billion.
|Changes in the Benefit Expense Ratio, SG&A Expense Ratio and Effective Tax Rate from 2013 to 2014 are expected to be driven predominantly by the introduction of the ACA insurer fee in 2014, which is non-deductible for federal income tax purposes.
|Operating Gain is a non-GAAP measure and defined as Operating Revenue less Benefit Expense and Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Operating Gain is used to analyze profit or loss primarily on a segment basis.
|Quarterly EPS seasonality is expected to change in 2014. The Company expects 2014 EPS to be relatively evenly spread across each of the four quarters, with the first quarter slightly lower than the 2014 quarterly average and the third quarter slightly higher than the 2014 quarterly average.
|Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to page 4 for a reconciliation to GAAP EPS.
|2014 Operating Cash Flow is expected to be unfavorably impacted by approximately $500-600 million due to the New York state account conversion and ACA-related timing issues.

CAM – Official Website
Hailing from Spencer, Oklahoma, Cameron Dukes, simply known as Cam amongst family and friends inspired to be an R&B singer with relentless dedication. While in pursuit of his dreams Cam met Jesus Christ and his life was forever changed. He is now an ordained minister, and married with one child. He and his wife have founded a non profit organization name "We Care" a sickle cell foundation organized to help those who struggle financially, while they or their loved one is in the hospital recovering from one of the many complications they may suffer. His desire has gone from being in the national spotlight, to sharing the Word of Jesus Christ through music. Cam's debut album "Just Listen" is filled with the message of purity, hope and God's love. On his sophomore project "The Platform" Cam touches on subjects such as discipleship, righteousness, modesty and faithfulness, inspired by the truth of Gods Word, and challenges you to stand on your platform whatever it may be. On his current project entitled "My Eyes", Cam wanted to continue to make music that encourages people to strengthen their relationship with God. He also wants to show how he (a believer in Christ) see's the world, and the ONE who created it. Cam's prayer is, as you listen to this CD it will help you reflect Gods goodness, and overcome some of the many challenges you may encounter in life, and see the world through as lens of redemption.

Laidlaw ruins homecoming
Late drop goal gives Edinburgh the win at Arms Park
Related links

Greg Laidlaw's late drop goal ruined Cardiff Blues' return to the Arms Park as Edinburgh ran out 21-19 winners in the RaboDirect Pro12.
The Blues had spent three years plying their trade at the Cardiff City Stadium but sparse crowds saw them cut short their 20-year lease to return to their spiritual home.
It was a move welcomed by supporters and they duly showed their approval by turning up in droves - the crowd of 7,800 was over 2,000 up on their average attendance last season.
On the pitch, the home side initially failed to rise to the occasion, falling behind to a Tim Visser try after the two sides had swapped early penalties.
The metronomic boot of Leigh Halfpenny ensured Blues reached half time with a 9-8 lead but it was not until the second half that the game really caught fire.
Edinburgh nearly retook the lead as Visser chipped through only to run out of pitch as he attempted to ground the ball whilst at the other end Tom James was unlucky to slip as attempted to cut inside following a sensational break out of his own 22.
The home side eventually made the breakthrough after Edinburgh's Greig Tonks had been yellow carded, Alex Cuthbert slipping in underneath the posts and Halfpenny kicking the extras (50).
However, a Blues' yellow card for Josh Navidi allowed the visitors to ratchet up the pressure and they were rewarded with a penalty try on the hour mark.
A further Halfpenny penalty preserved the slenderest of leads for Cardiff and they were within two minutes of victory when Laidlaw struck to give Edinburgh their first win of the season.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Outselling BF3, Beta Begins September
Battlefield 3 is falling behind in the pre-order race, unconfirmed reports say DICE is "kinda depressed, but mostly confused"
By Alex Gralski on 7/27/2011
The good folks at DICE and EA may have done a more impressive marketing job with Battlefield 3, but it seems word of mouth and the Star Wars brand have made good on their massive potential. According to EA President Frank Gibeau, pre-orders for the upcoming, BioWare-developed Massively Multiplayer Online Space-Knight-Wizard Game (or MMOSKWG) are outselling those for DICE's highly anticipated multiplyaer shooter.
This is despite the impending release date for Battlefield 3, and it's also in spite of the total absence of a release date for Star Wars: The Old Republic. However, the recent announcement that "beta-test weekends" will begin for selected players (who have signed up here, of course) in September may have something to do with that. Additionally, according to a conference call EA will also finally announce a release date for SWTOR in September. So, looks like it'll be a big month for Star Wars fans with an MMO-shaped hole in their lives.

you do realize that every mmo that is worth its salt has a monthly fee associated with it. Especially if its popular the demand on the servers costs $ and they get that money from part of the fees.

I really hope I dont have to pay $15 a month for this. That is the only reason I stopped playing WoW.

If I have to pay a monthly fee to play...then they better be giving away the game for free. Just like WoW.
ehynes4 on July 28, 2011
They dont give away WoW for free. you have to buy it.

You mean psuedo-free? The free version of WoW is pretty paltry compared with the actual, full version.

Gossip Girl Sneak Peek: Blerena Backlashby Steve Marsi at . Comments
It was obvious from the moment it happened that the fallout from last night's unexpected Dair kiss on Gossip Girl will be severe and wide-ranging. After all, how many relationships were effectively torpedoed?
Not only the romantic intentions of Serena (who loves Dan) and Chuck (who considers Blair the love of his life), but the friendship of Blair and Serena, and to a lesser extent Dan and Chuck, will be shaken up.
In this clip from next Monday's episode, we see just how bitter Serena is at her BFF, who she feels betrayed her. Does S have a right to be mad? Or was she delusional about Dan wanting her back in the first place?
It's a complicated situation, to say the least, but Dorota is determined to force these two to make up. Watch Blair's loyal servant / confidant take charge of the situation in this amusing sneak preview clip ...
For a complete breakdown of "Crazy Cupid Love," follow the link above. Also check out a couple of promos for "Cross Rhodes" if you haven't seen those. Then discuss all things Dair, Blerena and Gossip Girl below!
Are Dan and Blair soulmates?

Anonymous you are right. But in this episode is not about the connection between C / B, but about the end of the story between the S / D. I am a fan of S / D and I regret that the producers now killed their relationship. Those who support the C / B can hope that sooner or later they will be together again. And in this episode D is cheating S, B does not cheat C because it is already married to L. The wedding B / L is copy of the wedding Lily and Bart, we can expect that in due time the marriage will end like L / B in season 2. B will be then free to decide with whom to be, but it is my opinion that she would never marry a poor boy from Brooklyn, because she is a snob.
Oh and I'm so sure when they reveal that Diana is Chuck's aunt, they'll do it when embracing ("Thank you for saving my life with the transfusion, Aunt D") and Blair will see that and run away thinking Chuck found another love. Another dumb lame brained obstacle.
By the end of season 5 the relationship between D and B will crystallize, it is a possible link between C and S. This would close the circle, because in the end all five characters were in relation to one another in the series. This all leads to the possibility that, if will be the 6 season, the story of the series start from scratch. But one thing is certain D and S will never be together, because the story is repeated as in the 1 season when N cheated B with S, and now D is to do the same with B. S and B be forgiven and will remain friends, and S will never forgive D (because B did not do to N) and he will eventually be left alone (V and C said to him , because the writer is always standing by and watching events , alone).
Dair is cute and interesting (and DIFFERENT) but can't go anywhere. What happened to all the intrigue? Where did Rufus and Lily's love child (Aaron?) go? I thought he would be back to stir something up. Even Georgina doesn't have the spark she used to have. She seems dumber & sillier than what I remember.
And the rest of the characters who could be so interesting, they let languish and turn into Losers (with a capital L). Serena is supposed to be rich and gorgeous and kind of smart, and all she's doing is some lame blog and pining after a Muppet. Nate started out so well with becoming an editor of his own paper but now it's back to him being a hornball chasing tail. So boring! Blair is finally a princess on the international stage. I'd love to see a scene where she uses her rapier Queen Bee skills to beat some dictator into submission, she always wanted to be a powerful woman, right? We don't see her telling anyone off anymore, do we? I can't believe she let the Grimaldis get her btw.
Who cares about this show anymore. I like both Dair and Chair but what has been going on this season is beyond pathetic. I used to be so excited to see what would happen to all the characters and now it looks like everyone is going nowhere. The writers don't know how to handle the Moonlighting problem where it all gets boring once Chair is together for good. So they keep making up dumb reasons for them to stay apart.
im sorry but i keep on reading that blair is not like her season 1 self when she was queen b.....ewrrr how many years ago was that??? how old were they? i believe about 16/17 no? from what i know that puts that age right into the teenager bracket. the characters are now about 21ish. no one on this comment post can tell me they are the same person as they were when they were 16/17!!! blair has turned into a sophisticated, educated woman. if your beloved chuck bass has been able to redeem himself and change, how come the other characters on the show cant. stop being hypocrites.
@Anonymous That's what Chair did around Nate in Season 1 and he just slept with Dan's PR woman after he supposedly 'changed', how romantic. @Amandine Chuck tried to force himself on Serena in the pilot and he slept with Nate's girlfriend Blair behind his back and they were friends. Of course Blair has been terribly pathetic with this whole Louis problem. @gemsiibear Many Chair fans got fed up, so they either left altogether (and many are still leaving the show) or jumped ship to Dair.
@lin Blair didn't really hate Dan, she was kind of snobbish and she looked down on him a few time but both of them have moved on from then. @dellio Dan didn't want to hurt her feelings, but Serena should've understood Dan's feelings since he did run away from her with Blair. Serena had her chance, but blew it last season.
@dellio - THANK YOU! YOU SAID EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING. Love DAIR! Can't wait for new scenes. I'm still hoping for Chuck/Eva, Serena/Carter and Nate/Jenny or Nate/Ivy. Hope we get more Lily/Rufus too.

These miniature previews of The Walking Dead mostly just confirm what we already know: there will be zombies, and they will be scary. But every little taste of season two only heightens our cravings for tasty, tasty brains.
The Walking Dead, sans original showrunner Frank Darabont, returns October 16 on AMC. Expect even more zombie-fighting action as the gang heads away from Atlanta and into the country. Because there's nothing like a nice camping trip surrounded by the ravenous zombie horde.

|Theo James, Kevin Alejandro, Chi McBride
Framed by fleeting flashbacks, the show features the youngest police commissioner in NYPD history, just as he's becoming a homicide detective with a group of wary colleagues.
As for filling in the seven-year span between then and now, that's the high-class problem CBS would like to have.
Based on previewed episodes and compatibility with the network's crimefighting Friday lineup, it just might get its wish.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — DNA samples would be taken from people arrested on felony charges under a bill introduced Tuesday in the Nevada Senate. It's the second attempt to pass "Brianna's Law," a proposal that died on the last day of the 2011 session.
SB243 is named after Brianna Denison, a 19-year-old college student who was kidnapped in 2008 while sleeping on a friend's couch in Reno. Her body was found weeks later in a vacant lot. She had been raped and murdered.
James Biela, an ex-Marine and pipefitter, was convicted in 2010 and sentenced to death. He was also convicted at the same trial for raping two women in 2007, just months before Denison's kidnapping. All the crimes occurred at or near the University of Nevada, Reno.
Denison's family and backers of the bill say Denison might be alive today if officers were allowed to take Biela's DNA sample after a previous arrest in 1996. They argue he might have been identified sooner.
The bill is sponsored by Sen. Debbie Smith, D-Sparks, and Assembly Minority Leader Pat Hickey, R-Reno. The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hear the bill Thursday.
During testimony last session, concerns were raised over civil liberties and whether it would infringe on the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
Under existing law, DNA samples for a database are obtained upon conviction.
The bill includes a provision requiring DNA information to be purged from criminal databases if there is no conviction.
The bill also imposes an additional $2 assessment on anyone convicted of a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor or felony to help defray the cost of obtaining DNA samples and conducting the genetic analysis.

Introducing myself and my journal
About Me:
Greetings from Malaysia!
I have had great experiences in my very fortunate life, although, I have also experienced discrimination (colour, gender/sex, race). As I am surrounded by wonderful people who dearly love me and whom I love, these issues have not deeply affected me.
Throughout my life, I have recognised and have personally seen other women around me who have not had a good life at many levels for various reasons. Why? Was my star luckier than theirs? I don't know. But in the practical world, I need to do my best to create a space where women can have positive experiences in their lives. I have to do my part to remove barriers such as social, cultural, economic, civil and political discrimination and inequalities that women face. They deserve their rights and access to opportunities to have a good life in this amazing world (of course it has its ups and downs!).
One of the ways to achieve this is by creating change in the (not like-minded) people around me - their thoughts and actions.
Writing is not my forte but I believe it can be strengthened. Through this excellent initiative, I hope I can achieve that. I believe that social and popular media is the way to go and with the increased access to the internet by the day, so many people can be reached out to.
xx Gaya :)
My Passions:
Women's human rights - specifically migrants, refugees/asylum seekers, TIP

For many small businesses, the week before Christmas can mean big business. But in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, many of them are struggling to survive if they've been able to open. NY1's Natasha Ghoneim visited a Brooklyn shopping district that's hoping the customers come and filed the following report.
Paul Randazzo says he's sworn off clams, for now. You might find that surprising, coming from the owner of Randazzo's Clam Bar. But Randazzo blames Hurricane Sandy. Since the hurricane damaged his landmark restaurant floor to ceiling, he says he won't eat clams until they're served from his kitchen.
"I know it's coming. I'll be eating calamari Thursday at the latest," Randazzo said.
No one's shucking clams in the kitchen just yet. Crews are still rushing to finish repairs for a Friday re-opening.
"I'm still not fully restored. I still have no register. I might be working out of the cigar box. As long as there's money coming in and the doors are open. I just got my credit card machine," Randazzo said.
Some of Randazzo's neighbors on Emmons Avenue are still struggling to get the registers ringing in holiday sales. The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce has been going business to business across the borough offering a life preserver of up to $25,000 in loans and $10,000 in grant money.
"There are still a lot of businesses closed. Even businesses that are open may not be at full capacity, they may not be fully staffed, they may not be fully open. So there is tension, but this is a tough neighborhood, this is Brooklyn. It's a strong place and people are really rolling up their sleeves so we're seeing slowly another business reopen, another place come back on board," said Carlo Scissura of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.
Randazzo considers himself lucky that he'll soon be turning on the clam bar's signature outdoor lights. But he knows other small businesses may never recover.
"It's going to be dark and scary here for a while," Randazzo said. "All my neighbors are saying, 'Please get open. We want the lights.'"
The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce has distributed more than a million dollars in loans so far and has processed applications from 600 businesses that are looking for help to survive.

Marlon Jerrard Byrd (born August 30, 1977) is an American professional baseball outfielder who is currently a Free Agent. He has played for the Philadelphia Phillies, Washington Nationals, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, and the Boston Red Sox. Byrd is a 1995 graduate of Sprayberry High School (Marietta, Georgia), and won All-State honors in baseball and football. He played on the 1993 State Runner up team as a sophomore, and was part of the 1995 State Championship team. Marlon played baseball at Georgia Tech. After a major injury, he transferred to Georgia Perimeter Junior College where he earned an AS Degree in Business in May 1999, while rededicating himself to baseball. The injury was to his right leg in which he sustained muscular damage and an infection which cut off the circulation to his nerves. He had to undergo three operations to correct the problem. Many doctors had wanted to amputate his right leg, but Byrd refused and underwent a two-year rehab process. During the rehab process, Byrd reached up to 300 pounds. Once he reached the big leagues in 2003, Byrd had an outstanding season. He came in fourth in the Rookie of the Year voting, batting .303 with 86 runs scored, 28  ( Wikipedia article )

Earth Task Force Curbs Consumerism with Clothes-cycling
November 25, 2014 by Madeline Bachner
Filed under Earth Task Force
On Thursday, November 13th, 2014, a student led environmental action team at New Vista High School called the Earth Task Force (ETF) implemented a Clothing Swap event during the school's hour long lunch. ETF worked a couple weeks prior to the event to create a comedic promotional video to grab the attention of the students at New Vista. The Clothing Swap Team then brought some of their own used clothes to kick off the event. The Clothing Swap was very successful, multiple students brought in their used clothes of good quality and took home wonderful new finds.
ETF held the clothing swap to promote and practice the recycling of valuable resources and materials. In this generation, shopping is a concept that entails ONLY buying new clothes. Often our society gets stuck in a cycle of consumerism, constantly buying new things and throwing the old in the trash. ETF wanted to break this cycle and promote the underrated sport of thrifting by doing it at school!
There was a calm before the storm, then the school swarmed the gym embracing the concept of new, and free clothes! A good number of students showed up to the event. ETF was ecstatic about the great community involvement. Some brought clothes, and some didn't, but either way clothes were swapped. By the end of lunch period, there were two trash bags of clothes left. These were donated to Goodwill, a thrift store that provides used clothes and other objects at cheap prices.
ETF is very grateful to those students that brought in clothes and those who showed up and supported the event. A special shout out to the video teacher, Andrew Pfouts, for lending ETF filming equipment, and to his students that helped to edit the promotional video. We hope that the students and staff will continue to support future recycling of clothes.

Earth Task Force Hosts Bike Repair Day

Filed under Action Projects, Earth Task Force, Program News
On April 22nd 2014, to celebrate Earth Day, the Earth Task Force (ETF) hosted a bike repair day at the front of New Vista High School. This event inspired more students to bike to school, and provided a free opportunity for people to get their bike repaired or tuned up. Many students also enjoyed the music and hula-hoops! The purpose of the event was to teach the New Vista community about biking to school instead of taking the bus or a car. The event also raised awareness on bicycle safety. In recent years the city of Boulder has created a new campaign called Heads Up Boulder that reminds bikers, walkers, and runners to pay attention to what cars are doing especially when crossing the road. In future years, ETF hopes to gain even more popularity in the New Vista community and influence other schools to host a similar event.

2014 Ripple Effect Awards Honor Cottonwood Institute Students Making A Big Impact
May 5, 2014 by Madeline Bachner
Filed under Cottonwood Institute News, Earth Task Force, STRIVE Prep
The 2014 Base Camp Bash was an incredible success for the Cottonwood Institute. We raised critical funds for our programs, met some amazing supporters, and celebrated the impact our students are having in the community.
One way we honor our students is through our annual Ripple Effect Awards. The Ripple Effect Award is given each year to two outstanding students and is all about celebrating how our smallest actions, even those we can't immediately see, can ripple out into the community to have an even greater impact.
This year Cottonwood Institute honored Robert Harding from New Vista High School and Estrella Damian from STRIVE Preparatory Schools Excel Campus. Both of these amazing young people worked hard to lead their peers to make change within themselves, their schools, and their communities.
Estrella participated in the Mini-Community Adventure Program (Mini CAP) at STRIVE Excel Campus this fall. She helped lead her peers during their Action Project to tackle food waste at their school by designing and implementing a worm composting program for their school. The fertile compost they generate will be donated to two school gardens in their neighborhood. It has been so successful that they are building a second bin to keep up with the composting demand! Throughout their efforts, Estella showed strong leadership and a great work ethic to help design their project, acquire supplies, and share it with the STRIVE Excel community.
Robert has been involved with the Earth Task Force (ETF) at New Vista High School for the past 3 years, with unparalleled dedication. As his senior year draws to an end, we have been consistently impressed with his ideas, hard work, and follow through. From helping to organize their annual Local Lunch to the recent Fracking Panel, Robert has shown how much he has grown and learned from his experiences with ETF. We are excited to keep in touch with Robert to see what he accomplishes in college and through his future career.
These two are great examples of what students can and are accomplishing in our programs and beyond. Thanks to all of our students for making what Cottonwood Institute does really matter!
"We never know how the impact of our actions may ripple out. We never know who may be touched. That's one more reason why, although the fruits of our labors can't always be seen, they matter immensely." – Paul Rogat Loeb
A special thanks goes out to local artist, Bryan Buikema from Cracker 8 Projects, graphic designer Amber Selzer, and Piranha Woodcraft for designing and building these beautiful awards, which will be displayed at each winning school for 1 year.
Earth Task Force Hosts "Bring Your Own Mug" Day
April 10, 2014 by Katie Craig
Filed under Action Projects, Earth Task Force, Program News
This past March, students from New Vista High School's Earth Task Force (ETF) hosted an exciting community event called Bring Your Own Mug Day (BYOM). The purpose behind the event was to encourage students and staff to use their own reusable mugs, in place of taking advantage of disposable cups. Reusable mugs are an important tool in today's modern world, which is why ETF is so eager to maintain the tradition of Bring Your Own Mug Day. According to recent statistics from coffee-statistics.com, Americans dispose of 14 billion paper coffee cups each year. Instead of encouraging this waste, students from ETF hosted BYOM on Thursday, March 20th to reward people who use their own mugs.
With the invaluable help of Ozo Coffee, four cambros of coffee fueled the energy of New Vista's staff and student body for the rest of the day. Ozo generously donated all the coffee for the event, and responses from students and teachers were overwhelmingly positive.

Earth Task Force Students Host a Clothing Swap
February 20, 2014 by Katie Craig
Filed under Action Projects, Earth Task Force, Program News
Last month, students from the Earth Task Force at New Vista High School in Boulder, CO hosted a clothing swap. The purpose of the event was to encourage peers and staff to pursue their fashion interests in a more eco-friendly manner. Due to the money and materials that are invested in the purchase of new clothing, shopping encourages disposable consumerism that harms the planet and exhausts buyer's budgets. For example, 41% of teenage girls bought 10 or more items of clothing within six months in 2012 (source). This is only a demographic for a young female population, so one can imagine the scale of shopping effects in general. ETF hosted a clothing swap to save resources in a fun and cost free way. ETF members filmed a humorous advertisement to catch the attention of the school's population, then moved on to setting up the event. It was hosted in New Vista's gym, where tables were arranged and a clothing line was strung between them. The ambiance was positive and lively, about 30 students walked away with new digs, which didn't detrimentally affect the environment.

Local Farmers + Local Food + Local Action = Local Lunch
September 25, 2013 by Madeline Bachner
Filed under Cottonwood Institute News, Earth Task Force, Learning Garden
The Earth Task Force (ETF), a student led environmental action team at New Vista High School (NVHS) coordinated an annual event that provides a locally sourced lunch to staff and students. For the fourth annual Local Lunch, The Kitchen, a Boulder restaurant that works with local food producers, collaborated with ETF to create a gourmet menu and coach students on culinary skills. Students within the action team reached out to local farms to get donations of ingredients, and with the help of the culinary resources at The Kitchen, prepared the food. This locally sourced lunch was served to the NVHS community free of charge on Friday, September 20th, 2013.
The driving reason behind organizing the Local Lunch was to educate student peers and the community about the impact of local versus non-local food on the planet: eating locally reduces carbon emissions, fuels the local economy, lets you know where and who your food comes from, and gives eaters a chance to connect with growers. By making this a free event and having the students and staff bring their own plates and utensils ETF not only created an educational experience about local food, but also encouraged people to reduce their trash. This was a truly zero waste event.
Donations for the lunch were received from many local farms including Cure Organic Farm, Munson Farms, Haystack Mountain Goat Cheese, Oxford Gardens, and Red Wagon Organic Farm and for the first time this year NVHS used many ingredients from their own Learning Garden! The meat was provided by Cure Farm and Locavore, a delivery system that procures local meat from surrounding farms and sells it to customers in the Boulder area. Various other locations, such as 63rd Street Farm, offered to donate food, but were unable to due to the violent flooding of their location during the county's recent wet weather. Despite the huge difficulty it presented to the providers of the local food, the aforementioned farmers still donated. The event would have been impossible without their help. It was an incredible opportunity to combine the voracious appetites of adolescents with delicious local food, farmers, and chefs in order to create an educational and fun experience.
The Local Lunch event was held on Friday, September 20th, 2013 from 12:05pm to 1:05pm for students and staff at NVHS. The local farmers who contributed to the meal were also welcome to come and enjoy the product of their donations. The sunny weather allowed the community to congregate on the grass by the NVHS Learning Garden, where students and staff sat on blankets eating the food served to them by ETF. The atmosphere of the event was amiable and relaxed, and the local food was well appreciated. Despite the evident lack of reusable plates brought by students, many individuals could not refrain from eating their lunch and so were served food on their binders and ultimate frisbees. Overall, the 2013 Local Lunch was a successful event and brought the community together through the delight of eating delectable local food.

And The 2013 Ripple Effect Award Goes To…Camille Lauer!
June 5, 2013 by Katie Craig
Filed under Cottonwood Institute News, Earth Task Force
On April 20th at the Base Camp Bash, Cottonwood Institute awarded Camille Lauer with the 2013 Ripple Effect Award! The Ripple Effect Award is awarded to an outstanding Cottonwood Institute student each year. Local artist Bryan Buikema created the beautiful award piece, which will be displayed at the recipient's school each year. Below, take a look at a video of the award ceremony and read a transcript of Paige Doughty's heartfelt speech to Ms. Lauer.
One of the best parts of Cottonwood Institute's programs is that they not only give students experiences in the natural world and in their communities, but they also give students the opportunity and support to take and make informed action in their communities.
No program more so than the Earth Task Force (ETF). As an adult mentor of the ETF I help facilitate a lot of difficult discussions about complex environmental and social issues that don't have clear answers, or simple solutions.
As a result teachers and mentors in the field of environmental education often use a metaphor of a small stone thrown into the middle of a pond. "Your actions," we tell students, "are that stone, and the ripples that it makes when it hits the surface of the water, even when the stone is long gone from view, are the effects of your action. The effects of your actions echo out into the world in positive ways you don't even know about."
This is how the Ripple Effect Award came to have its name. It is an award that is given to an outstanding student and passed on to the next outstanding student from year to year. In 2013 the Ripple Effect Award was given to one of ETF's leaders and most loyal members, Camille Lauer.
This young woman has dedicated countless hours of her time to organizing sustainability event and projects. She has helped create and serve all local lunches at her school in order to educate students and staff about the connections between the industrialized food system and climate change, she has arrived early at school to check her peers in for Transportation Transformation, a student-run program which rewards people for using alternative transportation, she helps facilitate student retreats and that's just the beginning!
During the 2012-13 school year Camille Lauer took the lead with five other Colorado schools to organize plan and execute the "Ban the Bag Rally" in Denver on April 13th. If you were walking on 16th street Mall that day you may have seen 40+ students performing an anti-plastic bag flash mob performed to "Gangnam Style!" This coalition of youth groups has been writing letters to city councils and congress to encourage Denver to implement a bag ban or fee on single use plastic bags. Camille was one of the leaders of this action and event.
Camille's spirit of fun, passion for life, and ability to inspire others motivate everyone around her. The Cottonwood Institute is so pleased to honor her with the 2013 Ripple Effect Award!

Graveyard Poetry, Pre-Calculus, and Shoveling April Snow For May Flowers In The Learning Garden
May 28, 2013 by Ford Church
Filed under Earth Task Force, Learning Garden
Although snow covered much of the compost when students arrived at school earlier this spring, but that didn't stop a brave and motivated group of New Vista High School advisory students from shoveling and moving compost, clearing our gardens out of a foot of snow, digging weeds and spreading compost over all of our gardens! Just in time to take advantage of the moisture brought in by the next spring snowstorm!
Many beautiful vegetable and herb signs were designed and painted by students in Marco Demartino's Advisory Group. The signs will be proudly displayed in our Learning Garden as well as in our "Garden Against Hunger." Our Garden Against Hunger is a collaboration with the Boulder Food Rescue and we will help tackle their mission to put an end to hunger by growing and providing food for those in need in our local community.
We launched the New Vista Gardening Club that met once a week on Thursdays for the last month of school. Members helped prepare the Learning Garden beds for planting and they later planted one of the beds with colorful varieties of carrots and beets.
One of the intentions behind the Learning Garden was to develop an integrated curriculum across all disciplines at the high School level. Martin Park's Pre-Calculus class brought this vision to life. Martin designed an exciting project for the students with an end goal of raising awareness for the school gardens. In our pilot lesson, we discussed variables that effect plant growth and then headed out to the Learning Gardens to plant. Several varieties of Lettuces, along with spinach, radishes, arugula and calendula flower seeds were planted. Students have been monitoring and watering the beds and taking data on variables such as soil moisture, soil temperature, and air temperature and have been collecting data on plant growth. Their results were presented along with photos, at the End-of the-Year Student Exhibition!
Students in Vanessa's Gothic Literature Class studied Graveyard Poetry and following their poetry lesson, students were brought out to the garden to learn about earthworms. The earthworms were to serve as inspiration to write their own graveyard poems. Students didn't have to dig deep to find an abundance of earthworms in our Garden Against Hunger beds, a great sign that our soil is thriving and full of life! Students learned about the significance of worms in the garden, as well as the role that worms play in creating compost to minimize waste in landfills and to feed our soil. Students gathered organic matter in varying stages of decomposition from in and around the garden and added it all to our new vermicomposting worm bin. Our red wiggler worms are happy in their new home, working hard to create nutrients for our gardens' soil!
The Earth Task Force planted the remaining beds in our Learning Garden. Several varieties of kale, as well as swiss chard, carrots, beets and flowers were planted and our gardens are well on their way to providing food for ourselves and for those in need in our community!
A huge thank you goes out to Eco-Cycle for donating a truckload of beautiful compost to New Vista High School, which is now a Green Star School! The nutrient rich compost, which arrived in coordination with New Vista's Service week, will help our gardens produce an abundance of deliciously healthy vegetables and herbs for our students and community! And thank you New Vista Staff for helping to engage our students in our school gardens and thank you New Vista Students for helping to get our gardens off to a happy and healthy start!
Summer Vacation is here and our school gardens need your help! Meeting times, dates, and planting days for student volunteers are currently being scheduled! Community Experience Credits are available for those who dedicate some time to help maintain our gardens over the summer. Please Email Melanie Goldbort with any questions or if you would like to be involved!

Earth Task Force helps New Vista High School Become First Green Star School!
May 8, 2013 by Ford Church
Filed under Earth Task Force
Citizens of the United States represent about 5% of the world's population but produce 30% of the world's garbage. The Earth Task Force (ETF) was shocked by this amount of waste production. For years the ETF has searched for ways to reduce waste production at New Vista High School (NVHS) and save precious natural resources. Past projects have included recycling campaigns, reuse campaigns and a student-run composting program. Now they have been rewarded for all that hard work! At the beginning of April 2013 ETF partnered with Eco-Cycle to help NVHS become the first Green Star High School.
Eco-cycle's Green Star Schools program works with schools with the goal of zero waste. The end goal is that none of the school's waste is thrown into the landfill. Green Star Schools is a comprehensive program that involves educating the staff and student body about what goes where and it includes an industrial composting system!
For the last 4 years the ETF had been using an on site compost where compost was taken by the ETF's members to an area at the back of the school. Unfortunately, it meant that not all products, like meat and dairy, could be composted and compostable flatware and silverware still had to be thrown away. Because of ETF's hard work running the backyard composting program, they were thrilled to become a Green Star school and gain the ability to expand the compost program with an industrial level system. The industrial composting from Eco-Cycle now allows many different kinds of items to be composted at New Vista further reducing the waste we produce.
The Earth Task Force and Ecocycle hosted a Green Star School launch on April 3rd, which included a student written skit performed by students and staff to educate the NVHS community about the importance of conserving our precious natural resources. Eco-cycle introduced the new recycling and composting systems. At the end of the presentation representatives from each classroom came to pick up trash, recycle, and compost bins for each room in the school. The launch was fun for the entire school and a great way to start off the Green Star School program. Students are happy about the new waste disposal system and the amount of foodstuffs being composted rather than thrown away. The office staff has decided to host zero waste events with financial support from the Earth Task Force.

WHY Real shabu-shabu made with exceptional ingredients, notably the Wagyu beef. Best of all: When you finish cooking and eating your meat, seafood and veggies, they take the pot back to the kitchen and turn the now-rich broth into a heavenly thick soup with rice or udon.
WHAT It's a modest-looking place, and shabu-shabu (meat, seafood and vegetables cooked at the table in bubbling broth) is typically pretty ordinary stuff here in the U.S. But Kagaya has brought it up a few notches, thanks to exceptional meats (including Kobe and Wagyu beef) and the elegant touches the Japanese do so well, like the lovely appetizers and the chrysanthemum leaves in the mounds of seasonal greens to cook in the pot. You pay dearly for this—$43 to $128 per person for a fixed-price meal—but it's worth a splurge, especially if you get the good beef.

SAF Defends Women's Right Of Self-Defense At United Nations
BELLEVUE, Wash., March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Second Amendment Foundation today defended the right of women to defend themselves with firearms during testimony at the United Nations regarding the proposed Arms Trade Treaty.
Speaking for SAF was Julianne Versnel, who was also representing the American Conservative Union. She told the world body that "the right to life must be given real meaning" and that "A right to life must include the fundamental right to defend that life."
"The right of self-defense is particularly important to women," Versnel stated. "As women, we have a right to protect our bodies and to protect ourselves against assault and rape. No one questions that violence against women is endemic."
There are genuine concerns that any international gun control treaty would ultimately strip individual firearms rights from people all over the world."Most of the delegates here know that in the U.S. there is extensive firearms ownership," Versnel testified. "What they do not know is that almost half of the handguns in the US are owned by women. They are used daily for self-defense. I fully endorse, as should every person in this room, the idea that women must have the means to defend themselves. Nothing that is in an Arms Trade Treaty should affect a woman's right to defend herself." She reminded the panel that former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, a staunch supporter of the United Nations and the first U.S. ambassador to the organization, also carried a handgun for personal protection while working in the South on civil rights issues. " Eleanor Roosevelt was known and revered for her beliefs in woman's rights—including the right to defend oneself with a firearm if necessary," Versnel stated. "Mrs. Roosevelt practiced what she preached. In 1958 Mrs. Roosevelt drove though the American South by herself. The Klu Klux Klan had put a $25,000 bounty on her head and the Secret Service told her not to go. She went anyway and on the seat of the car was her own .38 caliber revolver. "We can learn from Mrs. Roosevelt," she concluded. "No one supported the U.N. more than she did, but at the same time she insisted on her right, as a woman and as a person to have the means to defend herself."

Circulus car's spherical front wheel works like a Dyson vacuum
If that rolling ball works well for a Dyson vacuum cleaner, why not put it on the front of a three-wheeled car? That was the thinking behind this Circulus concept car, created by graphic artist Santosh Chawla as an entry to the 2009 Michelin Challenge design contest.
The hydrogen fuel-cell-powered car would be driven by its two back wheels, with that front wheel giving the driver the tightest turning circle this side of a unicycle. The fanciful vehicle also features a huge expanse of glass up front, offering panoramic views of the road ahead.
Now all Chawla needs to do is figure out how to control that front wheel. This is a gorgeous design, but one that might be left waiting for a few decades until that Dyson-style ball is controllable. It'll also have to wait until hydrogen fuel cell power is finally practical in automobiles costing less than a million dollars.

Human Capital:
Insights for U.S. Agencies from Other Countries' Succession Planning and Management Initiatives
GAO-03-914: Published: Sep 15, 2003. Publicly Released: Oct 1, 2003.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-3236
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Leading public organizations here and abroad recognize that a more strategic approach to human capital management is essential for change initiatives that are intended to transform their cultures. To that end, organizations are looking for ways to identify and develop the leaders, managers, and workforce necessary to face the array of challenges that will confront government in the 21st century. GAO conducted this study to identify how agencies in four countries--Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom--are adopting a more strategic approach to managing the succession of senior executives and other public sector employees with critical skills. These agencies' experiences may provide insights to executive branch agencies as they undertake their own succession planning and management initiatives. GAO identified the examples described in this report through discussions with officials from central human capital agencies, national audit offices, and agencies in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and a screening survey sent to senior human capital officials at selected agencies.
Leading organizations engage in broad, integrated succession planning and management efforts that focus on strengthening both current and future organizational capacity. As part of this approach, these organizations identify, develop, and select their human capital to ensure that successors are the right people, with the right skills, at the right time for leadership and other key positions. To this end, agencies in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom are implementing succession planning and management initiatives that are designed to protect and enhance organizational capacity.
