The American Academy of Pediatrics reports that suspending or expelling children from school may end up creating more serious problems.
The organization says they do not support zero tolerance policies in schools and recommend administrators consider punishments on a case by case basis.
That's because research shows students who are expelled or given out of school suspension are ten times more likely to drop out of high school.
Also, these punishments often put troubled kids back into a risky environment, especially if there is no parent home to supervise.

Concert review
Brad Paisley delivers a dazzling 'real life' show at Tacoma Dome
In what will probably be the biggest country show of the year, Brad Paisley, The Band Perry and Scotty McCreery delivered a dazzling show at the Tacoma Dome Saturday. Called The Virtual Reality Tour, it contrasted the reality of everyday life embodied by country music with the "virtual" reality of a Carrie Underwood hologram singing with Paisley. McCreery and The Band Perry could have held down the crowd on their own, they were that good.
Special to The Seattle Times
Concert Review |
The Brad Paisley party people were out in force Saturday for the country star's big date with Tacoma.
Throngs of fans in cowboy hats swarmed the Tacoma Dome for the man chosen Entertainer of the Year at the CMA Awards in 2010.
Paisley, a West Virginia native, obliged with a powerful show packed with nearly two dozen songs, delivered with dazzling special effects, video and original animation that Paisley created himself.
The affable star has dubbed his current trek The Virtual Reality Tour, bringing The Band Perry, nominated for a Grammy, and 2011 American Idol winner Scotty McCreery along for the ride.
As Paisley explained, the "reality" of everyday American life is what country music is all about. The "virtual" part refers to the escapism his show provides. "Virtual" also referred to a clever special-effects stunt — a duet of "Remind Me," featuring Carrie Underwood in eerie holographic form, looking like a Technicolor ghost as she sang from the back of the stage. It was a slick re-enactment of the two stars' 2011 CMA Awards performance.
The soaring title song of Paisley's current album, "This Is Country Music." pays tribute to musical forebears Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, George Jones and others. In concert, the song was a flag-waving salute to homespun American music and values.
"So turn it on, turn it up and sing along," Paisley roared. "This is real, this is your life in a song."
A gifted songwriter, guitarist and entertainer (though unremarkable vocalist), Paisley delivered a devastating emotional punch with "Whiskey Lullaby," a tear-jerker, and elicited belly laughs with "Celebrity," a tune that poked fun at celebrities behaving badly.
McCreery joined Paisley for the latter song, which featured a cartoonish, tabloid-style video asking, "Is Scotty McCreery Brad's Love Child?"
"When you're a celebrity, it's adios reality," Paisley quipped.
McCreery's rich baritone brought squeals from female fans, especially during the song "The Trouble With Girls." "Water Tower Town" offered a vivid portrait of rural America.
Kimberly Perry led brothers Neil and Reid Perry through a high-energy set of bluegrass-inspired songs, among them "Postcards From Paris" and the recent single, "All Your Life."
McCreery and The Band Perry could have stood as a separate show in a smaller venue. They were that good.

List of ALL April A. poems
Best April A. Poems
My love-jaded heart will no longer respond to the sound Of whispering raindrops in fall or a train passing by. I've got brand new wings, yet so frail; I lose touch with the ground To take to my fantasy velvet mysterious sky. I'm fine in my bulletproof shell and I quit endless waiting Like quitting an old nasty habit and moving ahead, Exploring the worlds that my own deft mind is creating; Old passion's extinguished along with one more cigarette. Whenever I light one, its taste and its sweet bitter flavor Remind me of sharing a kiss I imagined that spring; If only that winter I'd been just a little bit braver, This all would have come to the same tragic end in a blink. The guise in the mirror of spring is a blear reflection Of somebody already dead and forgotten at all Yet standing the very last chance for the heart's resurrection; I swear I'm back on my feet, you may shoot, I won't fall. The past is all gone, so one day I'll forget to remember And gladly discover I've chosen nothing to keep, Awaiting another July and another December; And now it's time to put down my pen and just sleep. What dreams are to haunt me, I wonder? Next morning I'll know, My mind is still blank as I'm totally sober toight; My desperate thoughts and my fears are letting me go, I'm ready to enter the kingdom of misty midnight. I'm ready to enter the gates of tomorrow now, Today is a legend and yesterday - just a mistake. I'm crossing the line, I will make it all through anyhow, Just happy to live and to breathe every morning I wake.

"Ali, please come downstairs and eat", calls Haleema, his mother, for the third time. "In a minute MUM, I'm busy, you're so difficult.. gosh.. just leave me alone!" followed with a loud slam of the door.
How many of us are guilty of this? It may not be the exact same words, but in some way we have all disrespected our parents, which they certainly do not deserve. Today's youth have lost respect for their parents who worked so hard to raise them. It has become the "norm" to scream at our mothers. We make derogatory remarks and sometimes pretend like we cannot hear what they're saying.
Just take a second to step back and reflect: the one who taught you how to walk, eat, speak – you consciously CHOOSE to ignore her? Continue reading

Feb. 09 Trip – Revisited
Tuesday, February 15, 2011
Two years ago today, we were making our way back to Maui for what turned out to be such a memorable two weeks. While we're in the very early stages of planning a return to the Valley Isle for this August, I thought it'd be fun (if not somewhat depressing) to take a look back […]

Sunday, August 30, 2009
Now, onto the countdown to our next Maui trip. We leave in just two weeks, and just because we finally wrapped up all the travel arrangements, it doesn't mean it's just smooth sailing from here on out.
I posted some of our initial Trip 5 ideas already, and now it's time to start making those reservations. There's also a few omissions that I left out. First of all, Cindy wants to go parasailing. Yup, something she hasn't been able to try the last few trips because of whale season. Me, I plan on tagging along just to snap some neat photos, but don't have any desire to take the plunge.

Dear St. Joan Antida Supporters,
The semester is well underway at St. Joan Antida, and we remain energized in our commitment to excellence in teaching and learning.
Engagement and high expectations continue to be our focus - and we are succeeding. As teachers plan and prepare their daily lessons, they are committed to gains in student achievement. Each lesson is prepared with the idea of how will I know my students understand? In unit planning, objectives, essential questions, instructional techniques, and assessments are included and scrutinized to maintain the integrity of our programs and courses.
Our commitment to a faith-based education is embedded in everything we do. In the morning, at lunch, and at the end of each day, we come together as a prayerful community rejoicing in the blessings that have been bestowed upon us. Attending mass and prayer services throughout the year enable staff and students to give praise to God. Giving back to the greater community is an essential component of our SJA Campus Ministry Program. Through the works of our SJA Faith Formation Team, our Catholic faith traditions become a part of our staff culture, thus a part of every curriculum area.
Our focus on service and excellence from our staff for our students is impressive. The philosophy is clear: our students are entitled to the best education available - and we deliver. Our students are a gift from God.
Maria Schram

With an insatiable appetite for other people's business, Erica James will readily strike up conversation with strangers in the hope of unearthing a useful gem for her writing. She finds it the best way to write authentic characters for her novels, although her two grown-up sons claim they will never recover from a childhood spent in a perpetual state of embarrassment at their mother's compulsion.
The author of many bestselling novels, including Gardens of Delight which won the Romantic Novel of the Year Award, and her recent Sunday Times top ten bestseller, Promises, Promises. Erica now divides her time between Cheshire and Lake Como in Italy, where she strikes up conversation with unsuspecting Italians.
Author photo © Rebecca Braund
Below is a Q&A with this author.
Who's your favourite author?My favourite author is currently Anne Tyler. I love the way she writes about the complexities of family life and relationships. Her writing is always penetrating and incisive and pared right back to the essentials. In my opinion, she's a classic example of less being more.What's the first book you remember reading?The first book I remember reading was a library book and I was probably about four years old. I have a vague memory that the story was about a mouse. Funnily enough, it's not the words I remember, but the pictures, especially those of the mouse trekking through the snow in the night beneath a starry, moonlit sky to reach whatever destination he was heading for. Where do you live? And why? I live in Cheshire in a small rural hamlet. Moreover, I actually live in a converted barn which I used as the setting for my novel A Sense of Belonging. It's purely by coincidence that I've ended up living here, and it certainly felt a little surreal in the first few weeks of moving in – every time I opened my front door, I kept expecting to bump into my characters.Typewriter, Word Processor, or pen?I use a computer to write my novels and because I can touch type, I find this by far the easiest way to go about things. My only problem is that if there's a problem with the computer then I'm stuck. I haven't a clue how it works and doubt I ever will. In my defence(and it's a pretty poor defence, I admit), I've managed all these years to drive a car without knowing what goes on under the bonnet so I'm happy to apply the same logic.Name your favourite literary hero and villainWithout doubt, my favourite literary hero is Reggie Perrin from David Nobbs' novels. I love the wit of the man, and his quiet desperation to beat the system. The man is a legend!Would it be very crass of me to say that my favourite literary villain is of my own creation? If it's allowed, I'd like to name and shame Dominic McKendrick from Love and Devotion. He's the archetypal misunderstood man!Where were you born and raised? I was born in Surrey but grew up on Hayling Island in Hampshire after moving there at the age of four. As a teenager I lived in a flat directly opposite the beach and next to a funfair. During the summer months I would go to sleep to the sound of music blaring and the smell of fish and chips wafting through the window. Growing up by the sea has left its mark on me – a holiday isn't a holiday unless I'm a stone's throw from the water.Did you enjoy school? What is your most vivid memory of your school years? School for me was a secondary modern that morphed into a comprehensive. I did CSEs (I wasn't smart enough to do O levels) and whilst I was content enough at school, puttering along in my happy ignorance, I'm appalled now when I think just how little I actually learned. The teachers' expectations for us were non-existent, so surprise, surprise, few of us did well.My most vivid memory of school was when I was at primary school. I was about six years old and together with a girl I didn't really know that well, we took it upon ourselves to flood the outside toilets by stuffing yards and yards of slippery toilet paper down the pan and then yanking on the chain until the water level rose and cascaded over the seat and down onto the ground. We'd successfully flooded three cubicles when another girl – the horrible sneak! – went and fetched a teacher. I should imagine the teacher is no longer with us, but the 'horrible sneak' became my best friend, and still is to this day.Name your top 5 pieces of music.I have an eclectic taste in music but if forced to choose my top five pieces of music they would be as follows: R.E.M.'s Find The River.Nanci Griffith's Waiting For Love. Kathleen Ferrier singing What is Life? from Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice.Michael Nyman's Chasing Sheep is Best Left to Shepherds.Judy Garland singing It's Yourself.Who do you most admire and why? The people I admire most are my sons, Edward and Samuel. And why? For putting up with me!What jobs did you have before you started writing?Compared to most other writers, my CV is extraordinarily dull and reads something like this: Aged 13 chalet maid in a holiday camp. Aged 14 - 16 ice cream and burger vendor in a beach kiosk. Aged 18 secretarial work in an Oxford college. Aged 19 - 24 a series of secretarial jobs ranging from a mining explosives company to a firm of estate agents. Aged 24 - 35 mother and general bossy-boots.Aged 36 - ta-daar! - published author.If your house was burning down what would you save?If my house was burning down and I could save only one thing (assuming the obvious, that no one needed rescuing), it would be the manuscript of the current book I was working on. The thought of all that hard work going up in smoke would be too awful. Tell us about your best or worst holiday experience. My best holiday experience is a recurring one and does wonders to bolster up my ego. People often mistake me for either my sons' sister, or a girlfriend of theirs. We've been on several holidays recently when hotel staff or other guests have asked what the relationship is between the three of us. If it wasn't so embarrassing for my sons (aged 18 and 20), I'd say we were a nice little ménage a trois!What do you do when you are not writing? How do you relax? What are your hobbies? When I'm not writing I relax by reading (I try to read a book a week), going to the gym (in an effort to stave off the dreaded writer's bum!), gardening and travelling. Ever since I was 16 years old and travelled to Paris on my own to stay with a friend, I've had the travel bug. I love going somewhere new, but am equally happy to return to a favourite place, such as Corfu or Venice. But I'm afraid I'm not one of those adventurous types who enjoy roughing it – a trekking holiday across the Sahara wouldn't be for me! What single thing might people be surprised to learn about you? I think a lot of people would be surprised to know that I'm such a big fan of the band R.E.M. I travelled all the way to New York to see them last year. It was a very extravagant and impulsive thing to do, and I don't think I've ever been as excited to get on a plane as I was that day, but it was worth every penny.

Maui Tutoring Company adds new summer 2012 tutoring programs due to increased demand | Business
WooHawaii - Windows of Opportunity tutoring announced today that they have introduced 3 new, affordable, summer tutoring plans starting at only $18 per hour to help Maui students for Summer 2012. Operations Director, David Barber explained, " Our Summer Day Camp sold out in the first 3 weeks and applicants are now wait listed so we had to expand with an alternative program to meet the demands of Maui students"." Parents have expressed deep concern about their kids education in general on Maui and want to help their kids avoid the usual 3 or so months of summer learning loss".
According to the National Summer Learning Association, To succeed in school and life, children and young adults need ongoing opportunities to learn and practice essential skills. This is especially true during the summer months.
Many Americans have a wonderful image of summer as a carefree, happy time when "kids can be kids," and take for granted the prospect of enriching experiences such as summer camps, time with family, and trips to museums, parks, and libraries.
Unfortunately, some youth face anything but idyllic summer months. When the school doors close, many children struggle to access educational opportunities, as well as basic needs such as healthy meals and adequate adult supervision.
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer. Research spanning 100 years shows that students typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer (White, 1906; Heyns, 1978; Entwisle & Alexander 1992; Cooper, 1996; Downey et al, 2004).
Most students lose about two months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months. Low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement, despite the fact that their middle-class peers make slight gains (Cooper, 1996).
More than half of the achievement gap between lower- and higher-income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning opportunities. As a result, low-income youth are less likely to graduate from high school or enter college (Alexander et al, 2007).
Children lose more than academic knowledge over the summer. Most children-particularly children at high risk of obesity-gain weight more rapidly when they are out of school during summer break (Von Hippel et al, 2007).
Parents consistently cite summer as the most difficult time to ensure that their children have productive things to do (Duffett et al, 2004)

The Clara Barton District consists of 64 congregations and geographically includes central and western Massachusetts and all but the far southwest corner of Connecticut.
On July 1, 2010, Clara Barton and Massachusetts Bay Districts began a staff sharing arrangement that is being tried over a two-year interim period. Given geographic proximity of the two districts and a collective desire to share program capacity, we are hopeful that this arrangement will allow us to serve our congregations better. Under this arrangement, each district provides both general and targeted abilities to meet congregational needs. On July 1, 2014, Ballou Channing entered into partnership with the two districts, and Northern New England District plans to join in 2015.

Unique Service Project Idea: Pennies for Peace
My heart has a special place for Greg Mortenson and his work in Afghanistan and Pakistan. His amazing journey from mountaineer to international philanthropist is outlined in the famous, inspiring book Three Cups of Tea.
From the website:
In 1993 Mortenson was descending from his failed attempt to reach the peak of K2. Exhausted and disoriented, he wandered away from his group into the most desolate reaches of northern Pakistan. Alone, without food, water, or shelter he stumbled into an impoverished Pakistani village where he was nursed back to health.
While recovering he observed the village's 84 children sitting outdoors, scratching their lessons in the dirt with sticks. The village was so poor that it could not afford the $1-a-day salary to hire a teacher. When he left the village, he promised that he would return to build them a school. From that rash, heartfelt promise grew one of the most incredible humanitarian campaigns of our time.
If you haven't read it, you must. It'll make you want to do something to help.
If your kids haven't read one of the youth editions, encourage them or make it a family event and read it to them yourself. It'll make them want to do something to help.
Too often we read about something like this, wish we could help, and then do nothing because we don't know what to do.
As you may have guessed, I have a suggestion.
The Pennies for Peace campaign is an excellent way for our youth to truly help some of God's neediest children. It's a way to raise awareness of the needs of others and encourage gratitude for the blessings we have here. It's a way to empower kids to understand that they can make a difference in the lives of others. It's something everyone can get in on, even those who only have pennies to give.
This idea is flexible and can be made to fit the kind of service project you're looking for. Primary kids working on their Faith in God can run a small and simple campaign. Youth working on Personal Progress, Duty to God or Scouting awards can coordinate a campaign on a much larger scale.
The Pennies to Peace website has tips and everything you need to get started, from printable stickers to decorate your donation jars to letter templates for parents and Girls Education Fact Sheets. And it's all free.
If your son or daughter decides to do this, please drop me a line and let me know how it went.
LDS and Scouting Service Project Requirements:
PLEASE NOTE: The Pennies for Peace program may NOT be used for the Eagle Scout award because fund-raising projects are not permitted for that award.
Faith in God – Serving Others requirement #7 and #10.
Personal Progress – Good Works Value requirement #7 or the Good Works Value Project which requires at least 10 hours of service and can additionally include involving other young women.
All three levels of the new Duty to God program (Deacon, Teacher, Priest) include requirements to plan and carry out service, both individually and with the quorum.
The Star and Life ranks of the Boy Scout program each require service projects totaling at least six hours of work. Again, please note you may NOT use fund-raising service projects for the Eagle Scout Award.
Venturing – Religious Life Bronze Award requirement #3.
A Pennies for Peace campaign could be used to fulfill the service to others requirement for the Venturing Gold Award.

Social creative: KLM makes the skies a more social place
Flying's a gamble. As you buckle up you glance at the empty seat next to you and cautiously eye other boarding passengers. Will it be that amply-sized businessman? The woman with the screaming baby? The awkward teenager with the raging cold and noisy earphones? Your fate for the next several hours is out of your hands – left to the (often malevolent) Gods of seating allocation.
Until now, that is. Dutch airline KLM has introduced a helpful new service – 'Meet and Seat' – that allows passengers to share information from their Facebook and LinkedIn profiles with other flyers, and thereby choose a seatmate accordingly. Users can edit their profile and photo, and have from 90 days to 48 hours before departure to choose a flying friend (or find a better one – ouch).
Airlines have been trying to make flying a more social experience for a while now. Back in 2007 Virgin introduced a built-in instant messaging service, but as Forbes' Kashmir Hill notes, "Every time I fly Virgin, I check the in-flight chat and it's deserted. It's less popular than the seats that don't recline situated right next to the bathrooms." Will Meet and Seat fare better? According to KLM spokeswoman Ellen van Ginkel, "dozens" of passengers shared their info during the scheme's first few days, with an even spread between routes, classes, gender and Facebook/LinkedIn.
A similar programme – 'MHBuddy' – from Malaysia Airlines is also proving popular, so will this social element form the future of flying? Perhaps. But of course the ol' privacy issue has a lot of naysayers up in arms: while users' profiles are deleted after the flight there's nothing to stop passengers having a good nosey beforehand and using the information in more dubious ways. The promotional video shows two businessmen enjoying a drink and some chit chat, but what about questionable fellas hitting on lone females, or pushy salesmen trapping flyers in an unwanted pitch?
Of course, it's not compulsory, so those opting in are likely to do so with the understanding that a fuss-free flight is not guaranteed. And not every airline is likely to pursue this social thinking, either. Air New Zealand takes the polar opposite stance and lets passengers pay for an empty seat next to them. Which would you prefer?

How many times have you not been able to find a pen anywhere in your own home? Last time you checked there were five in your desktop pencil cup, two by the phone, one in your desk drawer and another on the piano. Now they're all nowhere to be found.
You've heard the expression: luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Add a little luck to your day by slowing down enough in the morning to think about everything you hope to accomplish during the day before you dive into it.
In 1906, a very smart Italian economist named Pareto came up with the Pareto Principle, also known as the '80/20 Rule'. Quite simply put, the 80/20 rule states that in any pursuit a few things (20%) really matter while everything else (80%) is trivial, so the most efficient way forward is to focus on the 20% that is absolutely critical to success and spend less or no time on the rest. Businesses all over the world use the 80/20 rule to gain incredible efficiency. Certainly, this rule applies to organizing, and we encourage you to apply it.

An organized entryway is important year-round, but especially during the winter months when you've got bulky coats, scarves and other winter garb. Make sure you have a designated place for everything so when your kids get home from school their soggy boots don't end up on their library books.
There are three things I never leave home without, and two of them are technically just paper: my day planner and a simpler notepad. I have a pretty good memory, but let's be honest, a busy mom can't be expected to keep track of everything in her mind. At any given time your simple pad of paper and a pen can be a scheduler, a to-do list, a shopping list, a makeshift piece of stationery, or even a scrap of paper to let your kids spit their gum into (don't deny it).
January is National Organizing Month, coinciding with the season of New Year's resolutions. It's the time of year when people reflect on their lives and set comprehensive goals for every aspect – from the ever-popular fitness resolution, to career resolutions, and the all-important "more time with family" resolution. But trying to fulfill all these goals at the same time can lead to burnout before February.
There's a reason National Organizing Month is in January. After a hectic December (and November, and October, and…), it's not just natural to need to get things back in order, it's necessary. Start your 2012 off on the right foot by making a few New Year's organizing resolutions. But don't feel like you have to get everything done right now. If you try too much upfront, you'll quickly tire and throw in the towel all together. Instead, set some realistic benchmarks and goals for the first three months, and then keep a steady pace, doing what you can. Don't forget to write them down in a notebook, planner or calendar!
A friend of mine doesn't like to set New Year's Resolutions that she knows aren't going to happen, so instead she does what I jokingly call 'hindsight resolutions." She takes some time at the turn of the year to look back on the previous 12 months and think about all that she's accomplished. I tried it last year, and it's a real pick-me-up.

You like catching on to a trend before it breaks into the mainstream, right? Here's the thing - come August, Prada and Miu Miu stores will be selling baseball caps with a typically hefty price tag. Every autumn/winter fashion shoot that wants to have a posh/scruffy juxtaposition (which is most of them), will feature models sporting caps. So the time to get hold of them is now, from charity shops, flea markets or as promo items from the weird building firm your uncle works for. Not only will you look like the Pet Shop Boys or Sven's Ulrika-beater Nancy Dell'Olio, you will also be taking the role of trendsetter rather than trend- follower. Which is nice, isn't it?

Jennifer Lopez doesn't just have a clothing line at Kohl's, she wears her pieces as well.
Lopez was spotted wearing a pink crepe romper from her Kohl's collection as she arrived for the April 3 episode of American Idol in Hollywood, California.
The romper (which is available at the department store in black as well) has roll-tab sleeves, shirred & pleated details and two pockets. The romper is lightweight and looks great on any figure. To give the romper a unique look, it even comes with a fashionable chain-link belt.
Lopez can make anything look great, but even she knows that you don't have to spent thousands of dollars to look glamorous.

We'll investigate pixel movement in tandem with more native big-icon handling, since the issues overlap (eg, collisions and location handling).
The question for me is whether we want to keep everything backwards-compatible, maintaining both tile & pixel systems, or whether it'd be better to just spin this off into a separate system. I'm leaning towards the latter because it's a lot easier (and we're already taking this approach with the Flash project by making those games a limited, specialized subset of BYOND). Really, the roguelike verb/tile model is pretty obsolete for the types of games people are making these days.
As far as a system to generally parallelize BYOND code.. no, that ain't gonna happen. We can and should offload certain existing operations (such as file transfer) to other threads, though. That's a long overdue request.

Editors Note: A 20 year anniversary celebration is being held at Methodist Northlake Campus in the South Pavillion Auditorium at 1:00 pm on Thursday, April 3 at 1 pm. Claude Watts will speak and physicians and staff will be honored for their committment and dedication. Media is invited to attend, please contact me if you plan on attending.
Twenty years, thousands of babies and Press Ganey Satisfaction scores consistently in the 98th and 99th percentile give Methodist Hospitals Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) more than enough reasons to celebrate. On Thursday, April 3, Methodist Hospitals NICU celebrates its 20th anniversary!
Many of the patients at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are small enough to hold in the palm of your hand. Thanks to advances in medicine over the years and the skill and experience of the staff, these tiny patients have a much higher chance at going home healthy and happy.
Dr. Anthony Iwuagwu, an Obstetrician, says much of the credit is due to the wonderful nursing staff and NICU facility at Methodist. "We are very lucky to have such an experienced staff and a facility of this quality here." The NICU is also equipped with the only transport team in Northwest Indiana that will bring babies from non-network hospitals such as: St. Mary's and St. Katherine's to Methodist.
Dr. Dizon and Dr. Sridhar began the NICU 20 years ago. They will be honored at the anniversary celebration on Thursday. The team at the NICU consists of 4 Neonatologists; Dr. Agarwal, Dr. Dizon, Dr, Sridhar, and Dr. Tareen, neonatology nurse practitioners, nurses, speech therapist, physical therapist and respiratory therapist.
Most of the nurses at the NICU have over 10 years of experience; a few have been here since it first opened. They have learned that taking care of a baby requires taking care of the entire family. "The parents are very scared and anxious when their babies get brought here, so we help the parents cope and allow them to be as much a part of their babies growing process as possible," Ellen Maravilla, RN, stated as she comforted one of the tiny patients. "The parents do not forget you. I have run into people years later at the mall or a restaurant and they will still come up to me and tell me what a wonderful experience they had while they were here."
For more information or to photograph/interview a Methodist employee, please contact me.
Thank you!

About this font family
Meet Harlean. Not your typical script font, she's quirky, brazen and a bit irreverent. Always speaking her mind, she tells it like it is and leaves no question about where she stands. You won't be able to forget Harlean. The rough cut, unusual letterforms defy the rules of a well-behaved script font as they scratch across the page, leaving a lasting impression. Harlean was rendered with a flexible nib pen that speaks in a different voice than her fellow script fonts. If your next project calls for a striking and unique look and feel, give Harlean a shout.

iBiquity Teams with Imagination Technologies in Quest to Embed
iBiquity Digital says it will partner with Imagination Technologies Group (IMG) PLC to produce a highly efficient processor core suitable for embedding in a variety of media and communication devices. The first design will be produced using Imagination's Ensigma UCCP Series3.
The move signals an attempt on the part of iBiquity to further reduce form factors and power consumption of HD Radio devices while improving other capabilities such as content management, display graphics and more. Because the functionality is primarily software-driven the same cores can be in receivers compatible with a variety of digital radio standards and markets.
First- and even second-generation HD Radio receiver technology was notorious for form factors and power consumption levels that ruled out their use in mobile applications such as smartphones.
UK-based ITC specializes in creating and licensing intellectual property processor cores for graphics, video, multi-threaded embedded processing/DSP and multi-standard communications applications.

STAVANGER -- The Norwegian government has decided to offer ownership interests to 48 companies in 65 new production licences in connection with the 2013 Awards in Predefined Areas (APA 2013).
"I am very pleased to send out offers today to 48 companies for participation in a total of 65 new production licences on the Norwegian shelf. This is a new record, both in the number of production licences and the number of companies. The awards provide a good basis for further exploration of some of the most well established exploration areas on the Norwegian shelf," said Minister of Petroleum and Energy Tord Lien.
The 65 production licences are distributed among the North Sea (38), the Norwegian Sea (19) and the Barents Sea (8). A total of 50 companies applied for production licences in APA 2013. 48 companies will be offered shares in one or more production licences. 29 of these companies will be offered operator-ships.
"The Government will maintain a predictable and high pace in awarding new areas for petroleum activity. The record breaking awards in APA 2013 represent our first step on this path, and demonstrate that we deliver on our promises," continues Minister of Petroleum and Energy Tord Lien.
The APA licensing rounds encompass the most explored areas on the Norwegian shelf. The challenges in mature areas are particularly linked to the lower expected size of discoveries. Small discoveries cannot justify stand-alone developments, but may have good profitability when they can exploit existing and planned process equipment and transportation systems, or be coordinated with other planned developments. It is therefore important to ensure timely exploitation and development of such resources.

'The Bachelor' is Getting Married in Santa Barbara at This Swanky Resort
While "The Bachelor's" current clown stud, Juan Pablo, is about to jet off to Seoul with his harem of women on the ridiculous reality dating show that you can't not watch, the last Bachelor, Sean Lowe is about to say "I Do" on live television to his scriptedtrue love, Catherine Giudici. Not surprisingly, the wedding will take place at a hotel--Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara
Here's what Catherine said about the planned nuptials:
"The beach is so pretty and the venue is just gorgeous!' said Catherine. 'It will be just the two of us, on the beach. Chilling out and having a great time."
Yes, just the two of you on the beach and MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WATCHING AT HOME.
That said, she is right about the hotel being a gorgeous venue as the hotel has five different, outdoor spots where folks can get married. While Sean and Catherine will get hitched on the beach, the resort also allows for weddings in various gardens and lawns, including the Monte Vista Lawn where the Santa Ynez mountains serve as a backdrop.

'The Bachelor' Takes His Six Soulmates to the Buccaneer Resort in St. Croix
For reasons we can't fully explain, we've decided to tune into the completely staged reality dating show that is "The Bachelor" on ABC. And we're obsessed. From the first rose ceremony shenanigans to the tense two-on-one dates and awkward make-out sessions, we love it all. We'll even watch it live, with commercials. But the show also has another important element we love--hotels. The Bachelor, Sean, is taking his hot body and so-so personality around the world as he tries to find a wife. Each Tuesday, we'll be recapping the hotels Sean and the ladies stay at and the drama that ensues. We'll do our best not to make it all about Tierra.
After last week's four-hour, two-day "The Bachelor" viewing extravaganza, which took place at the Fairmont Lake Louise in Banff, Canada, we were so relieved to hear that Sean has finally decided that the six remaining ladies were the "six for him." But lest this turn into a show about sister wives, the producers Sean has decided to whisk the girls off to the island of St. Croix to further determine who is the one he is going to spend the rest of his life with. Or at least the next few months trying to score trashy tabloid covers.
After arriving on the island by seaplane, Sean takes his harem to The Buccaneer Resort, a beachfront pink palace that is one of the island's longest-running resorts.
Since a lot of the scenes were shot in the hotel rooms, we're pretty sure the girls we're shacked up in the Ficus and the Frigate suites. Those specialty rooms, which are way more modern than the basic room categories, start at around $1,100 a night. But even if you don't stay in these rooms, you can still live it up "Bachelor"-style during your trip as the resort has put together their own "Bachelor" package.

Follow Jake and Vienna to the Exotic Hotels of 'The Bachelor' in Saint Lucia
Last night, the 14th season of 'The Bachelor' came to an appropriately romantic end amongst the dreamlike, exotic environs of the island of Saint Lucia. Since St. Lucia is known as a seriously romantic destination, we weren't too surprised that the crew hauled Jake the pilot and his final three girls down there, but we were shocked at how much they got around the island's many luxurious hotels. Let's break them down, shall we?
· Jade Mountain
This is without a doubt the most important hotel of them all, so we're starting with it. It's where Jake stayed, and it's where the pivotal decision moment happened at the end of the season. Jade Mountain is an architectural, organic masterpieces, and it's consistently ranked as the top Caribbean resort, with room rates (starting from $1,200 a night) to reflect its pedigree. Infinity pools, open-air sanctuary suites and ridiculously awesome views complete the package. It was up on it's Celestial Terrace that Jake chose his final girl.

Smooch Like 'The Bachelor' In St. Lucia With a 'Wings of Love' Package
We don't know about you, but the ABC Show "The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love" has us falling more in love with the romantic island of St. Lucia more than the hunky pilot who stars, and his three potential mates with whom he's traveled to this tropical place. Jake Pavelka, a pilot for Atlantic Southeast Airlines, is nearing the end of his reality television search for his love, and the cast and crew of the show have flown down to St. Lucia, known as a honeymoon paradise, for the final couple episodes
Amongst all the bikinis and sunset smooching, we get glimpses of Jake's fabulous "Fantasy Suite" at Jade Mountain Resort, which we visited ourselves recently. But on tonight's episode, Jake has his last-chance with Tenley at Jalousie Plantation, and the hotel has pulled out all the stops to recreate the romantic experience for you with a "Wings of Love" package.

The Dudes From 'The Bachelorette' Take Over the Fairmont Vancouver
We sort of prefer The Bachelor to The Bachelorette what? Doesn't everyone? but when it comes down to it, we'll watch it if we've got nothin' else happening on a rainy summer night. And then we get addicted to it and yada yada; you know the rest.
We suppose we'll now have a valid excuse to switch it on, though: tonight's episode is hotel geek-esque. The Bachelorette, Jillian, actually surprises the thirteen suitors "with a romantic trip to her hometown of Vancouver."

Chicago's Talbott Hotel Will Hold Try-Outs for 'The Bachelor'
Since the controversial ending of this season's The Bachelor a wonderful TV trainwreck where The Bachelor chose one girl on the show and then decided he'd rather be with the girl he didn't choose by the time the finale aired the show has been the focus of many a Happy Hour conversation.
And due to the audience's largely negative reaction to this last Bachelor's choices, it's difficult to believe any man would ever willingly step up to be next after this dude suffered such widespread scrutiny. But apparently a new Bachelor has been selected and now it's time to cast the women who will be competing to win his affections.
Make a note, ladies: ABC is holding an open casting call for The Bachelor's next season at The Talbott Hotel in Chicago on Thursday, April 23rd from 5pm � 8pm.
Scared of getting dumped on national TV like this season's Melissa did? Here's something to comfort you: The Talbott will give a rose to every woman that checks-in to the hotel on that day. Rates for the night of the casting (and for the rest of April) start at $179 per night, with free WiFi and breakfast for two included.
And, um, men: think about how many pretty, single women will be in the Talbott that day. Seriously. Don't say we never did anything for you.

The Bachelor's Jason Mesnick Lunches at Hotel Monaco
Jason Mesnick, the star of the thirteenth season of ABC's bafflingly-successful hit The Bachelor, must be having a rough time right now.
See, he told People magazine back in December that he had found love on this season of the show which is still airing and is, in fact, engaged. While that part isn't rough especially considering he endured the rejection of the century by the Bachelorette's Deanna, which landed him this gig as the new Bachelor in the first place imagine what it must be like to have a fiancee with whom you can't be seen in public anywhere until the season finale of your show airs. Ugh. Rough.
Accordingly, when the Seattle-based Bachelor hunk was spotted offscreen this weekend, he was spotted with another dude. From People:
Jason Mesnick found time off-camera for a lunch at Sazerac restaurant in Seattle's Hotel Monaco. And don't worry ladies: "He was dining with another guy," an observer says. Despite being recognized, Mesnick kept his focus on business. "They were talking pretty intently the whole time," the observer tells us.
Making wedding plans over a little bit of Saz's gumbo, perhaps? Discussing colors with the florist? Or maybe just chillin with a dude after enduring the grueling Bachelor filming process surrounded by catty women?
Probably that last one.

Included in the deal are a variety of tidbits to make you feel cozy and loved in the hometown of the man looking for love on national TV. Yes, the hotel is that crazy.

Sock Stuffing Bachelors Roaming Around Loews Santa Monica
We admit we're not the world's biggest fans of The Bachelor, but we have been looking forward to seeing the upcoming season ever since Tuesday. See, that's when we found out that the crew--including the latest eligible stud--were recently seen cavorting around the pool at the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel:
They're filming the next season of 'The Bachelor' at the pool here. All the contestants were running around doing some kind of a triathlon...When he was all done, and the cameras were off, he pulled a sock out of his swimsuit.
Yikes. You don't need to go that far just to hit up the hotel's pool, which is at the center of the property, overlooking the Pacific. It may not be regulation size for our triathlete, but, then again, he's apparently not into standard equipment.
In his defense, it is always so cold at that pool.

'The Bachelor' Ruined the Lodge at Rancho Mirage, Now Ritz-Carlton to Save the Day
Ritz-Carlton is taking over the legendary Lodge at Rancho Mirage in California's Coachella Valley, with hopes that the first phase of the massive construction project be completed by December 2007.
According to the official press release, Ritz will sink about $500 million into gutting and renovating the place into a 244-room resort with an internationally-branded spa and of course, 154 luxury residential units.
While the press release dished out all the sordid construction and design details (sample line: "The hotel's façade will be transformed through the integrated use of multi-hued stone and rich, highly-saturated colors that mirror the inherent beauty of the area's desert surroundings."), a tipster emailed us the real dirt:
It appears they have demolished the entire former Lodge, which after a few years of neglect and awful reviews had just started to pour money into refurbishing the place. Apparently being the wedding locale for that Bachelorette show didn't bring them what they hoped for. Having stayed there last time when it was a RockResort, I'm sure the Ritz can only improve things.
What hasn't the toxic reality TV shows like "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" ruined? Hotels, you may wanna rethink your guest stint on "Flava Flav's Search for a Woman, Cycle 61".

A Hotel Concierge on 'The Bachelor' But Not For Long
It was bound to happen. A hotel concierge as a contestant on a reality TV show. And not even a good one to boot.
Nope, Andrea from Cincinnati is on The Bachelor Rome starring a pretty much fake Italian prince who grew up in NJ/NYC and the 27 women competing for his love and affection and six months of coverage in the tabloids.
Fortunately for us (namely so we wouldn't have to watch this awful show each week)but not for her, Andrea was kicked out after the first episode.
So we can only assume she's back at her old concierge job in Cincinnati. And which hotel could that be? Well it could be either the Hilton, Hyatt Regency, Westin or the Cincinattian Hotel.
If you know, then let us know.

If somebody is willing to send me ROOTED cuttings of these for something on my tradelist or for postage, it would be GREATLY appreciated. I really want to have these in my garden, but I just can't get them to root. Thank You |

City Council to remove parking experiment from Downtown Newhall.
It once used to be called San Fernando Road, but now it's called Main Street. It also used to have parking spaces drivers pulled into front-first. That too was removed not long ago by the city of Santa Clarita.
A parking experiment led to the creation of back-in parking on the strip of Main Street in Downtown Newhall. Before the re-striping took place, some residents questioned why the City would attempt such an odd parking standard. The uproar grew tremendously, however, after the parking method was put into practice.
City Manager Ken Pulskamp first defended the parking, saying that it is designed to be safer for children. With back-in parking, when passengers open their car doors, they have an unobstructed walk to the sidewalk, and a protective barrier from the street. The parking was also said to aid in loading car trucks.
However, Pulskamp also said that if the community couldn't or did not want to adjust to the new parking, the City would look at removing it.
Well, that day has come. Last night, the Santa Clarita City Council voted to re-stripe Main Street and bring it back to front-in parking.
Aside from driver dislike, another reason for the failure of the back-in parking was that it was striped at a relatively closed angle. This forced larger vehicles to stick out into the traffic lanes.

Organic's emphasis on an empathetic consumer approach deeply affects our internal culture: the day-to-day way we not only do business, but interact with and treat each other.
Diversity in the workplace is a driving force at Organic. It's based on the knowledge that the best ideas do not grow in a culture of sameness. It's at the root of our team structure, our three minds approach: every project requires at least three people from different disciplines working together to uncover the key consumer insight that will inform our work. But it's also about creating an environment where you feel free to express an idea so edgy and out-there it scares you to tell it. It's about extending the empathy we use when considering the consumer, to each other, and treating all in the workplace with equal respect and esteem. Because, as we've learned, integrity is at the heart of exceptional work.
We like to be first: the first digital agency, and the first with new platforms and apps. So, change agents and self-starters are welcome. As are original thinkers. Organic's collaborative process demands that multiple points of view be presented and different disciplines offer their best thinking—without any ego-antics. It all fits with our drive to exceed our personal and professional expectations. To do it brilliantly, and to do it all together.
We've created experiences in the workplace like Bagel Wednesdays and Beer Bash Fridays to regroup and recharge; each city-office has its own customs, too. But we know your life isn't your work. Your life informs your work. Exceptional experiences that happen outside the 9-to-5 can inspire a big idea sometimes more than a team meeting.
Organic has offices in New York, San Francisco, Detroit and Los Angeles. Our collaborative process and the nature of the virtual-digital world binds us together, creating a resource pool unlike any other, a sharing and mixing of talent and thinking that transcends state lines and border crossings.
Go to Threeminds and you will see our Culture Channel. This is our meeting place across our offices, our sounding board and space for inspirations, observations and celebrations of each other.
Several times a year, employees gather in Las Vegas and compete to find a consumer insight that leads to a never-thought-of-before marketing breakthrough.
Organic welcomes out-of-the-box thinkers and doers. We have generous benefits and great perks including massages, pet insurance, bagels and beer, all to make your workday life anything but.
Thank you, your email has been sent.

Primavera Tamales
Ferry Building Farmer's Market
San Francisco, CA, 94111, United States

I want to make a large wall mirror using nine or twelve 12"x12" beveled mirror tiles. I am not sure what backing to use. I will use mirror mastic to adhere it and hang it using a french cleat. I would also like to frame it with something simple, just so the edges don't show. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Like this? I used double stick tape tabs in the corners, covered the interior seams with screen molding and the framed it with fluted molding. |
Love the mirror, the beautiful plates and the blue switch plate cover! |
So, dian57, you just put the mirrors directly on the wall? It's beautiful, but I want to be able to move the mirror when I need to, that is if I can find a weight-lifter who needs extra work..LOL, Suzeque |
Yes, mine is applied directly to the wall. Didn't realize you were looking to make something portable. How about attaching with liquid nails to a piece of luan? |

I only have had the vacuum a couple of weeks, but I already have used it three times. Love it. Wish I had thought to do this when I had my minivan. I like to have a clean car all the time and this vacuum makes it easy to do quick touch ups. I hung it up in the garage in such a way that I can reach a car parked just out side the garage and even my kitchen inside the garage door...bonus! Quality seems great but only time will tell.
