text: Recently when going through an interview process at a nearby temporary agency they asked if I was a smoker. When I told her I smoke cigarettes she said she needed a non-smoker. I told her it was not a problem as I do not need a smoke break and would refrain from smoking on work property. She told me that they did a nicotine test where they swab the inside of your cheek and it will react with nicotine. Seeing how tobacco is legal I was wondering some peoples' thoughts on the subject.. particularly on the employer's right to perform a nicotine test/not hire tobacco users.

Ana Grace Márquez-Greene, 6, was killed in the Newtown shooting Dec. 14, 2012.
Credits: FACEBOOK
WINNIPEG - Friends and family will gather Saturday to celebrate the life of Ana Márquez-Greene, 6, one of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
The ceremony is being held at the First Cathedral in Bloomfield, Conn., but Winnipeg friends will attend a live satellite feed broadcast at Grant Memorial Baptist Church.
The funeral starts at 11 a.m., preceded by a brief welcome and prayer.
"Ana's love for singing was evident before she was even able to talk," family friends wrote in an e-mail Wednesday. "In a musical family, her gift for melody, pitch and rhythm stood out remarkably. And she never walked anywhere -- her mode of transportation was dance."
Ana's parents, Jimmy Greene and Nelba Márquez-Greene, have asked that donations in her memory be made to one of three Connecticut-based funds: The Ana Grace Márquez-Greene Music Scholarship Fund,
The Artist's Collective or the Ana Grace Márquez-Greene Family Therapy Fund.

PH 3-2.5 Bollard Floor LampPin It Houzz |
. |
Related Info Tools |
Design by Poul Henningsen.
By Louis Poulsen.
PH 3-2.5 Bollard is a member of the PH 3-shade family, and the principle behind the PH 3-shade fixture was made in a few hectic months in the winter of 1925-26 for a large exhibition hall in Copenhagen, Denmark called "Forum". This is what Poul Henningsen said about his new fixture in 1926: "The real innovation in the PH-fixture is that it produces lighting which is both glare free and economical. It is easy enough to create glare-free light (indirect and strongly shaded light) if a portion of the light is allowed to be wasted, and it is equally easy to make fixtures which are highly efficient if you ignore the fact that they severely irritate the eye (strong specular reflection, etc.) but it is an art to make light both economical and glare free". The combination of diffused reflection and a logarithmic shade curve also gave PH the opportunity to control the fixture?s glare and shading. The luminance transitions from shade to shade would also appear harmonic. The PH3-shade system started out as a pendant solution but very quickly it also developed into other kinds of fixtures for tables, floors, walls and a great number of different chandeliers.
The fixture is designed based on the principle of a reflective three-shade system, which directs the majority of the light downwards. The shades have a matte white painted interior surface, diffusing the light in a comfortable way.

Poul Henningsen was born in Copenhagen to the famous Danish actress Agnes Henningsen. He never graduated as an architect, but studied at The Technical School at Frederiksberg, Denmark from 1911-14, and then at Technical College in Copenhagen from 1914-17.
He started practicing traditional functionalistic architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting. He also expanded his field of occupation into areas of writing, becoming a journalist and an author. For a short period at the beginning of WWII, he was the head architect of the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. But like many other creative people, he was forced to flee Denmark during the German occupation but soon became a vital part of the Danish colony of artists living in Sweden.
His lifelong collaboration with Louis Poulsen Lighting began in 1925 and lasted until his death. To this day, Louis Poulsen Lighting still benefits from his genius. Poul Henningsen was also the first editor of the company magazine "NYT". The CEO of Louis Poulsen at the time, Sophus Kaastrup-Olsen, gave the magazine to PH as a gift because he had been terminated from the Danish newspaper he worked for (his opinions were too radical).
Poul Henningsen's pioneering work concerning the relations between light structures, shadows, glare, and color reproductioncompared to man's need for light remains the foundation of the lighting theories still practiced by Louis Poulsen Lighting.
See other lights/products from Poul HenningsenLouis Poulsen
Louis Poulsen's approach to architectural development began with its collaboration with famous and well respected lighting designers, like Poul Henningsen. Together they created a lighting and product philosophy encompassed by the words "function", "comfort" and "ambience". This philosophy continues to influence simple and functional product design, which focuses on well-being and the perception of artificial light, which leads to the creation of unique lighting environments. Louis Poulsen's approach to lighting lies in a very strict and uncompromising product philosophy grounded in simplicity. All elements must serve a light-related purpose. The result is a product line that displays simple and discreet designs ideally suited to all types of architecture across cultural styles.

Aging Deliberately
Planning for senior years needs to happen now
Dear readers, This is my last column for The Seattle Times. For this column, I want to plant some seeds about our collective and individual...
Special to The Seattle Times
Dear readers,
This is my last column for The Seattle Times.
For this column, I want to plant some seeds about our collective and individual futures. Most of us can expect to live a very long time, and we will join millions of others who are even older, yet our country is woefully unprepared. A demographic imperative that we can't ignore — nearly 80 million boomers living into their 80s, 90s and 100s over the next 60 years (compared with the current older generation of 35 million) — will become the largest, oldest generation in American history.
Unless there's a cure soon, a significant number will have dementia. So much will change from what we know today, even I have difficulty imagining it. Yet few — especially policy makers and politicians — are paying attention.
It reminds me of how crowded our schools were when I was growing up in the 1950s. The hospitals were filled to overflowing because of the boomers' births — some of our moms actually delivered in the halls because there were no available rooms. Yet, when it came time for the boomers to go to school, the schools were taken by surprise. I attended a different school every year from the third to the 10th grade — although I lived in the same house — as my school district played construction catch-up. Back then, thankfully, the public was willing to pay more in taxes for us. We were cute, after all, and we lived in a nation that supported its children.
For later boomers, as their numbers climbed, it got worse — my brothers went to school half-days. Classes were huge. Remember the portable schoolrooms that could be trucked in? Couldn't anyone have foreseen this and been ready?
Later, the same thing happened as we applied for college, for jobs and to buy houses — fierce competition in a limited universe. The early boomers tended to fare much better than the later ones because we had already filled the slots. Then something else happened: We became more demanding, more interested in living not the ascetic life of our parents (who'd survived the Depression) but of spoiling ourselves as much as we could. We didn't save our money like our parents did, even when we had incomes and assets many times larger. That's going to haunt many of us for the rest of our lives.
History is about to repeat itself, but at the other end of the age spectrum. This time, I see no sign that the taxpayers will think we're cute and provide the equivalent of more schools (heck, they'll be us, and we won't have the money). I especially fear how future generations — your great-grandkids — will fare with the fierce competition for tax dollars (something AARP never mentions when it urges us to demand more free services).
Medicare is already an endangered species, with many doctors refusing to take new Medicare patients. There's a huge shortage of health-care professionals who specialize in older-adult care. Pensions are disappearing. An outright overhaul is needed in how eldercare services are provided. Government is beset with deficits that have no end, and there won't be a magic bullet to save us.
I can get really nervous thinking about all this. But I also firmly believe that, by preparing for this future and thinking about our choices, we can have more control over what happens. Some parts of this scenario are already in play — we can't change them. Others are still within our ability to affect. But first we must wake up and recognize what's needed, and then do it — and drag our politicians and policy makers along.
Note: My column started 14 years ago, very quietly. It's now morphing into another form and will start to make thunder.
Thanks to the Internet, I will be launching a new generation of Aging Deliberately columns soon, available by e-mail as a paid subscription newsletter. It will have lots more room for information that you'll find practical and helpful (and workshops I'm putting on), as well as for other people's opinions and voices. E-mail allows me to keep the fee low without adding advertising (unless it goes through my screening). I have lots of exciting ideas of how it might develop. For more information on how to subscribe, see my Web site at www.agingdeliberately.com/">www.AgingDeliberately.com.
This news will disappoint many of you who don't have computers, and I deeply regret that. However, it's just me in this new endeavor, and it's impossible to create a mailed newsletter without costing an arm, a leg and my life. Those of you without computers may not realize how much time, paper, postage, gas, envelopes and energy is saved communicating via e-mail. It's changed our world. Please join me if you're able.
Most of us age accidentally, without planning or forethought. Aging Deliberately tells us how to age on purpose.
You can reach Liz Taylor at firstname.lastname@example.com or write to P.O. Box 11601, Bainbridge Island, WA 98110. Her Web site is www.agingdeliberately.com. More columns

The Lincoln-Way North High School Mathletes team is off to a strong start, placing first in its conference Sept. 19.
"We've been working really hard," said North mathletes coach Christin Parker. "We have seniors who are very passionate about math and success this year. It is contagious."
Seniors Christian Gorski, Jaime DeRuiter, Cailey Wulf, Caitlin Broderick, Moira Quealy, Maryann Manaparambil and Joey Tijerina were outstanding in the permutation, combination and probability topic, scoring nearly a perfect score.
They were just five points shy of the mark.
Christian repeated the trend in another topic, scoring 45 out of a possible 50 in combinatorics.

A bit of Monday delightfulness, this gorgeous little Flash game called Record Tripping is super charming and fun. It features Alice in Wonderland, kitties, bunny rabbits and using your mouse to skip through time, what could be more fun? Take five minutes out of your Monday morning to play.
I've been a bit slack with the old blogging lately – too wrapped up in my newest hobby, Japanese cooking! Remember to check out my foodie blog if you're interested to see what I've been making, and I also update my tumblr almost daily with pretty images and things. I've also just started work on a fairly major blog redesign…
Until then I thought I'd set up this formspring account that seems to be doing the rounds at the moment. It's basically an anonymous survey site so feel free to ask me anything – but be nice :)
Ffffl*ckr is a really great new site for finding images you might like on Flickr. It loads in your favourited images and by clicking one you can see the favourited images of that user – the idea being that if you like someone's photo, you'll probably like what they like too! Much better than the Flickr Explore channel which generally contains overdone faux-vintage Photoshoppery and horridly chesy HDR style landscapes of mountains. Have a play and see what you find.
Last week, Poke threw their first Hack Day – we downed tools Wednesday lunch, got into teams, and were set the brief to create a 'web thing' on the theme of FOOD in 24 hours.
Several manic hours later fuelled by crazy sandwiches and Angel Delight, each team presented their ideas to the judges – chef Yotam Ottolenghi, writer Russell Davies and editor of New Media Age Nick Howell.
Our team created tastebuddi.es, a website to inspire new unusual flavour combinations. Just keep hitting the big blue button to pop up two random ingredients, vote on whether the combo is a hit or miss, and share your best results on Twitter.
There's a running tally of the most popular combos and in February we'll announce the overall winner. We also plan to extend the site to allow users to add their own favourite combos and share them. Follow us on Twitter to keep up with changes to the site.
Here are some of the delightful combos we made to try during our presentation – orange and curry, strawberry and balsamic (a hit), olive and nutella, and Marmite with shortbread.
We didn't win the first prize as voted by the judges – that honour went to the World's Tallest Sandwich – but there's another prize for the site with the most visitors by March, so please use and share tastebuddi.es as much as you can – hope you like it!

Cate Interview Highlights
Cate on the California Juvenile Justice System:
"It is a good thing that we are reducing the population of wards at the state level. The truth is that best correctional science says we need to keep those wards as close to their families and communities as we can, and reserve state wardship only for those youth who are really the most troubled."
Cate on Partnering with Academics:
"[Partnering with academics] has been just absolutely vital. Otherwise you are just making policy decisions based on either politics or based on your gut sense of what works and I think that is how California got in this spot.... The simple fact is that our population has mushroomed and in large part that is because we have lacked research as to who we should be afraid of versus who we really are just mad at."
Cate on Advice to the Next Governor:
"Do not micro-manage the Department from the Governor's office... You really have to stick to your guns and let correctional professionals run the Department of Corrections."

0Jun 7, '10 by brittemmonsGot my acceptance letter For Charity's spring 2011 class and I am beyond excited!! I am finished with all of my prereqs, so I will just be waiting for spring. I was wondering if anyone recommends getting a head start on studying, because I will have so much free time. I actually will be spending one day a week (6-7 hours) at LSU waiting for my dog at the Vet school, and I will have nothing to do to fill my time.I wish I was starting in August,because this wait is going to be brutal
0Jun 9, '10 by WaitingforFall2010Hi brittenmmons,
Do you plan on going back to school for your BSN? If so you could be taking classes toward that! -
0Jun 9, '10 by brittemmonswaitingforfall2010,
That is a great idea!! Do you have any suggestions on what I should take or where I can look to figure out what I would need to transition into the BSN?Any advice would be greatly appreciated! -
0Jun 9, '10 by Hopefull nurseCONGRATULATIONS on your acceptance!!!
I just applied to the LPN program Fall 2010 last may and calls will be made next week for those that got accepted. I am sooooooooooooooooooo nervous!!! If I get a letter that means I didn't get in so I am hoping to get a call.
I have been freaking out since last month waiting for the moment they make their decisions so I can imagine how you feel having to wait till January.
Good luck! -
0Jun 10, '10 by WaitingforFall2010I know a lot of schools require Intro to Sociology and Developmental Physiology. What about a dosage and calculations class to help prepare for Pharmacology?
0Jun 10, '10 by brittemmonsI am def. considering the dosage and calculations. I have already taken chem.,chem lab and sociology because I was originally planning on applying to PTA school.... and thoses were required prereqs I hate that I will have such idle time on fridays in Baton Rouge, but I don't know if it is too early to start brushing up on stuff for school.
RN hopeful- good luck and prayers for LPN!!!I know that the wait is horrible!!! -

1Aug 3, '10 by davidnikkitylerskyeHey girl I am starting Basics in about 2 weeks so I will tell you my story and you can take from it what you like...
I am an Army wife that left college after my 1st semester 7 years ago to follow my hubby around the nation. 2 children and 3 deployments later I am finally settling down in my hometown to finish what I started so long ago. I have done correspondence through Delgado and also sit down classes any time he has been deployed. As of right now I have 4 semesters of nursing school and NO NON NURSING COURSES to do for my Associate's or Bachelor's. What I did a long time ago was check out Charity's curriculum and Southeastern's Bachelor curriculum to make sure that I spent the years that we have moved so much getting the unnecessary "fluff" classes as I call them ouot of the way. I know in 2012 he will finally be out of the military and we will settle in Baton Rouge. So Southeastern's bridge program seemed to fit my needs perfectly. You need to pick a school near where you are or will be after your Associate's graduation and check out their curriculum. I strongly suggest that to anyone because I have a lot of people going through nursing school with me right now that have to add the stress of classes like AP2 and Micro to their already stressful nursing curriculum and I get to focus solely on nursing. Right off the top of my head I know that you need 2 chems and a social science for SLU which is not required at CSN. You are a very smart girl to get started on this! Good luck to you my friend!!beejaycee likes this.
