Yes, an applicant may be considered for conditional admission, at the discretion of the admissions panel. For instance, otherwise qualified applicants who do not yet meet the English proficiency requirements may be offered conditional admission to enroll in TU's English Institute. Once they have passed the English Institute's Level 5 with a 90% or higher, they may be permitted to enroll into the law school. Otherwise, students who are taking the TOEFL or IELTS, should be aware that in order for their application to be reviewed and a final decision made, the must have achieved a score that meets TU's minimum requirement for admission to the Energy Law Concentration (90 TOEFL or 6.5 - 7.0 IELTS).
As long as the applicant will have completed her degree by the time she would begin her LLM studies at TU, she may be considered for conditional admission. She must submit academic records of all law coursework completed at the time she applies, and if she is admitted she will be required to submit final transcripts showing her degree was awarded before starting the LLM program at TU College of Law.
Decisions are made within 4-6 weeks of receipt of a completed online application package. Applicants can track the status of their application online from our home page, under the section "Apply directly Online Now". Applicants are notified by email of offers of admission. Applicants must be sure that TU has a current email and postal address for them.
This is a 24 credit degree program that begins on campus mid-August of each year, for the fall semester. All students are required attend a multi-day "Foundations of Legal Studies" orientation before classes begin.
See the current tuition and living expenses estimate.
One place to start is at the information contained on the LLM Guide website. See also here for more information about funding an LLM.
The Masters of Laws is a specialist degree, designed to prepare lawyers to practice law in the international arena. This program is not intended to serve as a bar preparation course. However, students planning to take a bar exam upon completion of the LLM program should research a state's bar eligibility requirements before beginning any program. See the National Conference of Bar Examiners website for a state-by-state summary of bar exam requirements. For example, many students who received LLM degrees in other states have successfully taken the New York bar exam. Eligibility in some states require completion of specific courses during the student's LLM studies that may or may not be compatible with the energy concentration requirements.
LLM students work directly with the office of LLM Programs and Global Legal Education to develop their career strategies. Please read more on the LLM Career Strategies page.
Non-permanent residents or non-US citizen applicants will work with TU's International Student Services Office to secure a US student visa. Please be advised, this process can take up to two months within the applicants home country. Admitted students can contact Housing and Dining Services to find a place to live, on or off campus.
The LLM degree is only open to those who have a JD or a foreign law degree. Foreign lawyers who complete the LLM may be considered on a case-by-case basis for admission into the JD program after the LLM.

What War on Christmas? If you live in Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard's home, it's the best holiday of the year (to buy Samsung).

"In the age of knowing what you're made of, there's no room for erectile dysfunction," says Viagra, who claims that their most recent batch of commercials show men "engaging in daily activities without letting anything get in their way."

It's been well documented (if not well researched): At some point in the 1990s, Ad Dads very suddenly became moronic punchlines.

I designed a new tester for my work and used this terminal strip to hold the voltage divider and shunt resistors as well as making interconnections to the various switches, components and LED's. Using the terminal block made the tester modular and therefore easier to repair and swap out components. We have the testers on every production line and so far modularity has made it a snap to fix. So far a relay failed and a couple of crimps on the output connector failed, but the terminal block has been flawless!!

They gave me the keys to a Lamborghini. They said it was the LP640 and that it would easily do 200 mph. And I thought: Where can I take this car? Where can a Lamborghini work the way it was intended to work?
Certainly not here in England. I love the place to the point that I never want to live anywhere else, but there can be no doubt that this weenie island off the coast of Europe no longer has the infrastructure or the temperament to cope with a 640-hp Lamborghini. Driving big metal here is frustrating; it's like being given a gasoline-powered radio-controlled car capable of 50 mph and then being allowed to run it only in your kitchen. In the U.K., supercar ownership has become urbanized. Forget all those romanticized notions of Ferrari F40s scampering over expansive moorland blacktop--the world has changed, and an Enzo's natural habitat is now London's Kings Road. Consistent engine cooling under stationary conditions is a more pertinent denominator of required dynamic competence than cam phasing above 5000 rpm. Fast cars are pilloried by a political and social ethos that is no longer willing to accept beautiful, powerful machinery as an expression of man's creativity.
What a shame. We took possession of this remarkable machine in England, and yet the land of warm beer won't figure in the proposed timetable beyond being the port of embarkation and, should all go to plan, return. That's right, there was a plan. It involved a poorly detailed map of Europe and a jumbled collection of memorable places where legal loopholes and space had in the past permitted high speeds. There was hope that they still would. We wanted to let this car unwind in the manner we've always hoped the owners of such machinery would do themselves. We wanted to cover significant distances with significant numbers showing on the LP640's revised speedometer markings (the ones that now read to a stupefying 220 mph). We wanted to exceed three miles per minute whenever the mood took us.
Photographer Barry Hayden and I headed east, boarded a train that travels through a tunnel under the English Channel, and emerged on the other side. Ten miles out of Calais, the twelve-cylinder thrumming along at 2500 rpm, we realize that there's one immense problem with this proposal. We're in a right-hand-drive car, and passenger Hayden is a little short of hearing in his right ear. At the same time, thanks to a TVR Tuscan's self-jettisoning targa panel, I have specific hearing difficulties pertaining to my left ear. Twice in ten minutes I find myself questioning Barry's sanity as he blurts seemingly unconnected words through the swirl of tire, wind, and induction noises that characterize a cruising Murci. Unless he shouts, I can't hear him and vice versa. This doesn't bode well for a five-day sprint through mainland Europe, but despite enjoying Barry's take on life, a 6.5-liter Lamborghini V-12--one whose engine block can be traced back to the first Countach prototype of 1971--is an ample substitute for conversation.
The route we'll take is lengthy. Each leg terminates in a driving environment perfect for this car. First up is Germany and a special stretch of autobahn on which we hope to reach some big figures. Then we'll head south past Frankfurt into France, to Grenoble and perhaps the finest driving road in Europe: the Route Napolon. We'll drive its entire length and drop down onto the Autoroute du Soleil just west of Cannes--where supercars migrate for the summer months--before sprinting to northern Spain and experiencing a stretch of tarmac not usually associated with speed.

The Department of Homeland Security is proud to welcome Megan H. Mack as the new Officer for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and Karen Neuman as the new Chief Privacy Officer. Both bring a wealth of experience from the public and private sectors, which will serve them well as they advise the Secretary and lead the Department's efforts to protect privacy and uphold civil rights and civil liberties. The Department is strongly committed to the work of these offices, and has built privacy and civil rights protections into its operations, policies, programs, and technology deployments from the outset of their development.
Megan H. Mack will lead the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL), which supports DHS by ensuring individual liberty, fairness, and equality under the law across the Department. CRCL is committed to the idea that core civil rights—liberty, fairness, and equality under the law—are essential American values, and is dedicated to instilling these ideals into the daily work of securing our nation. The office integrates and promotes civil rights and civil liberties in policy creation and implementation and communicates with individuals and communities whose civil rights and civil liberties may be affected by DHS activities.
Prior to her appointment, Ms. Mack was the Director of the American Bar Association Commission on Immigration and was previously the Supervisor of Legal Services for Hogar Hispano, Catholic Charities Diocese of Arlington in Falls Church, Va. She has also served as a Litigation Associate at Foley Hoag LLP in Boston, and a Law Clerk to Judge Fred I. Parker in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Burlington, Vt. Ms. Mack received an A.B. magna cum laude from Brown University, an M.A. from the University of Chicago, and a J.D. cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School.
Karen Neuman will lead the DHS Privacy Office, which is responsible for evaluating Department programs, systems, and initiatives for potential privacy impacts, and providing mitigation strategies to reduce negative privacy impacts. The Privacy Office – the first statutorily required privacy office of any Federal agency –partners with every DHS component to assess policies, programs, systems, technologies, and rulemakings for privacy risks, and recommends privacy protections and methods for handling personally identifiable information. To further integrate privacy and reinforce the headquarters privacy office, a team of privacy officers are embedded into the operational components throughout the Department.
Ms. Neuman was previously a founding partner of St. Ledger-Roty Neuman & Olson LLP where she headed the firm's privacy and data security practice. She has over two decades of experience in diverse markets of the communications industry, including digital media, telecommunications and cable, and deep expertise in and experience counseling clients on global privacy law and policy. She previously was the Senior Counsel for Policy and Regulatory Affairs for Brandon & Associates, an Associate at Miller and Holbrooke, and an associate another law firm. Early in her career, Karen worked for the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, where she served as a state staff member of the FCC Federal-State Joint Board Staff.
Posted by Maria Odom, Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman
Today, the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman office hosted its third annual conference at the National Archives, a building that reminds us of the contributions that immigrants have made – and continue to make – to the United States. Bringing together nearly 300 participants from across the country, including White House Domestic Policy Council's Senior Policy Director for Immigration Felicia Escobar, today's event focused on ways we can work together to improve immigration services at DHS.
From the start of this Administration, the Department has worked to fundamentally change how we approach the challenge of building a stronger, more effective, and more just immigration system. At DHS, we take our immigration responsibilities seriously and the Ombudsman's Office plays a key role in assisting thousands of individuals and employers each year who experience challenges in the processing of their immigration case. When it comes to immigration, we are working hard at DHS to strike the right balance between smart enforcement, the sensible use of agency discretion, and a more just and fair immigration system.
Over the past year, we have improved the way we serve the American public. Last June, DHS announced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals process, allowing young people who meet the guidelines to seek a two year provisional legal status to remain in the United States. Our office played a key role in this effort by assisting with individual cases, sharing stakeholder feedback with USCIS and suggesting improvements to the application process. Already, more than 580,000 individuals have requested deferred action, and after a thorough review of each of those cases, including a background check, more than 474,000requests have been approved, allowing these young people to continue to contribute to the country they call home. While impactful and necessary, these efforts are not a permanent fix, which is why we've also continued to be a strong advocate for comprehensive immigration reform.
I've heard from stakeholders all over the country about how our current immigration system isn't working for businesses, workers, immigrants, or our economy—and I think we all agree that it is time to fix it. DHS stands ready to work with leaders and advocates to ensure that our nation remains a land of opportunity for those seeking to contribute to our nation's prosperity.
As these efforts continue, it is vital that both government and the public collaborate to address existing issues that impact individuals and employers navigating our current immigration system.

Yesterday, Acting Secretary Beers was in New York City where he participated in several events and discussed the Department's work with the private sector to increase cybersecurity, protect critical infrastructure and make the public less vulnerable to cyber crimes.
Acting Secretary Beers began his day with a visit to the NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square where he rang the Opening Bell alongside private sector partners.
Acting Secretary Beers and National Protection and Programs Directorate Deputy Under Secretary for Cybersecurity Phyllis Schneck also delivered remarks and participated in a discussion with business leaders on cybersecurity as part of National Cyber Security Awareness Month.
National Cyber Security Awareness Month engages public and private sector stakeholders – especially the general public – to create a safe, secure, and resilient cyber environment. This year marks the tenth anniversary of National Cyber Security Awareness Month sponsored by DHS in cooperation with the National Cyber Security Alliance and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center.

The world is a much different place than it was a decade ago. Today, nearly every part of our lives are connected to the Internet. We can take pictures with our smartphones and upload them instantaneously to social media networks, use GPS navigation to find our desired destinations, and pay our bills and manage our finances online. This year marks the tenth anniversary of National Cyber Security Awareness Month. As Americans become more reliant on modern technology, we also become more vulnerable to cyber exploits such as corporate security breaches, social media fraud, and spear phishing, which targets employees through emails that appear to be from colleagues, allowing cyber criminals to steal personal and business information. Given the stakes we cannot afford to only think about the next year, we must remain focused on meeting the challenges of the next ten years.
Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility and each of us has a role to play. It only takes a single infected computer to potentially infect thousands and perhaps millions of others. Everyone should take basic cybersecurity measures that can improve both individual and our collective safety online. Some steps you can take to ensure you and your family are safe online include:
- Don't open emails or attachments that look suspicious
- Set strong passwords, and don't share them with anyone
- Keep your operating system, browser, and other critical software optimized by checking for and installing updates
- Limit the amount of personal information you post online, and use privacy settings to avoid sharing information widel
Cybersecurity has emerged as a top priority for the Department of Homeland Security in our efforts to secure federal civilian government networks, work with critical infrastructure owners and operators, combat cyber crime, build a national capacity to promote responsible cyber behavior and cultivate the next generation of frontline cybersecurity professionals—while keeping a steady focus on safeguarding the public's civil rights and civil liberties. In an effort to raise public awareness and empower Americans to practice and promote safe cyber practices, DHS and our partners have recognized National Cyber Security Awareness Month as an opportunity to help equip everyone with the tools they need to stay safe online.
During October, DHS and our partners are holding various events and outreach efforts across the country to raise awareness and educate Americans about topics including mobile device security, growing the cyber workforce, combating cyber crime, and the cybersecurity of our nation's critical infrastructure.
Find out more about DHS and our partners' work during National Cyber Security Awareness Month.

Yesterday, I was joined by DHS colleagues and stakeholders to celebrate the launch of the next generation of the Department of Homeland Security's Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN). HSIN Release 3 (R3) improves our ability to support law enforcement, emergency managers, and first responders with the tools and resources they need, as we work together to make our nation safer, secure, and more resilient. For example, in support of security operations for Super Bowl XLVII, more than 500 HSIN users visited the site over 20,000 times to share information related to their mission and facilitate coordination between federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, international and homeland security partners.
Over the past year, the HSIN Program Management Office has worked with HSIN users to make important updates to the HSIN platform technology and improve the program's capabilities and services. New capabilities of HSIN R3 include enhanced security features, as well as GIS mapping that enables users to share geographical information. HSIN is the trusted network for federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, international, and private sector partners to share information critical to homeland security mission operations.
HSIN allows our homeland security partners to manage operations, analyze data, and share information by receiving breaking news related to their missions, share geographical information, hold secure web conferences, communicate securely through a trusted network.

Today, we commemorate the 40th anniversary of the passage of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 – a foundational piece of civil rights legislation that commits the Federal government to ending discrimination against persons with disabilities in federal employment and in federally-conducted and federally-assisted programs and activities.
At the Department of Homeland Security, we are committed to continued progress in providing full inclusion and equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities. Whether a person with a disability is traveling through an airport, crossing into our country at a border, becoming a naturalized citizen, or rebuilding their life following a disaster, DHS has an obligation to ensure nondiscrimination and equal opportunity under the Rehabilitation Act. Our efforts to meet this obligation are led by the DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL), which coordinates the Department's compliance with and enforcement of the Rehabilitation Act.
To commemorate the anniversary of the law's passage, CRCL has collaborated across the Department to develop and release a number of products to build on prior achievements:
- A new Management Directive that establishes policy and implementing mechanisms in DHS for ensuring nondiscrimination for individuals with disabilities served by DHS-conducted programs under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
- A video that looks back at the importance of the Rehabilitation Act and looks forward to reinforce the Department's commitment to strengthening implementation of the Rehabilitation Act throughout DHS.
- A Guide to Interacting with People Who Have Disabilities to assist DHS personnel, contractors and grantees in their interactions with individuals with disabilities.
- A dedicated webpage with disability-related information and resources for providing equal opportunity for persons with disabilities in DHS programs and activities.
Earlier this year, CRCL established the DHS Disability Access Working Group to further the Department's commitment to the principles of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Through this Working Group, DHS components are working together to share strategies for effective communication, program and physical accessibility, and reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities.
You can learn more about the Department's efforts to provide equal opportunity and full inclusion for individuals with disabilities by visiting our Disability Policy webpage.
On Friday, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Rand Beers joined Vice President Joe Biden and other U.S. officials in Mexico City, Mexico for the U.S.-Mexico High Level Economic Dialogue.
"Strong international partnerships are critical to our global competitiveness as our countries and societies become more connected and dependent upon shared systems of transportation, commerce, and communications," said Acting Secretary Beers. "We look forward to our continued partnership with the Mexican government as we work together to facilitate legitimate trade and travel while protecting our citizens."
During the High Level Economic Dialogue, Acting Secretary Beers, Vice President Biden and other U.S. officials met with Mexican officials to advance strategic economic and commercial priorities central to promoting mutual economic growth, job creation, and global competitiveness. The United States and Mexico work closely together to ensure a safe and secure border region, which is critical to both nations' economic competitiveness and national security.

An interactive mapping tool that allows carriers and communities to view and identify opportunities to leverage Federal properties for the deployment of high-speed Internet networks. For example this map can help the wireless industry identify Federal rooftops where commercial antennas can be placed to support wireless networks. The national map includes data on broadband availability, environmental or historic information, property locations, and contact information so companies can easily obtain more information. The map was built with open government data, displayed in a new way to make it easier for carriers to take advantage of Federal assets in planning or expanding their networks.
This interactive map displays Federally owned buildings and lands, with point of contact information, where a commercial antenna installation might be sited. The map also contains several layers of data useful to broadband deployment. The map layers offers visibility into, for example, the location of National parks, protected wilderness areas, and lands of tribal significance. (Screenshot from 9/16/13)
A "Dig Once" guide, which includes best practices and policies to help carriers time their broadband deployment activities to periods when streets are already under construction—an approach that can reduce network deployment costs along Federal roadways by up to 90 percent.
A new broadband inventory toolkit that can serve as a one-stop shop for companies to access permitting forms, lease agreements, and other Federal broadband application documents from various agencies. This web page will make it easier for carriers to navigate the process for accessing Federal lands and properties, which can involve multiple Federal and state agencies that have their own processes for granting access to their assets. In addition, the General Services Administration, as directed in the Executive Order, is working to implement common forms and templates across agencies, such as a single master application for deploying broadband on Federal properties, to provide multiple broadband service providers and public-safety entities with streamlined business documents for the deployment of wireline and wireless facilities on Federal property. Going forward, the Department of Agriculture is also working to develop an on-line electronic application form to further streamline the process.
In the coming weeks, we will also be launching an online broadband projects platform, located on the Department of Transportation's Federal Infrastructure Projects Permitting Dashboard , which will allow agencies to identify and expedite key broadband projects and to publicly track their status.
Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Rand Beers today was joined by White House Cabinet Secretary and Assistant to the President Danielle Gray and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Alejandro Mayorkas to welcome 25 new U.S. citizens at a special naturalization ceremony held at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.
Acting Secretary Beers administered the Oath of Allegiance to the newest United States citizens.
The new citizens naturalized during today's ceremony hailed from: Bolivia, Bulgaria, Egypt, France, Ghana, Honduras, India, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Mauritania, Mexico, Morocco, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Sierra Leone, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Vietnam.
This special ceremony is one of more than 180 citizenship events being held across the country to celebrate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. USCIS will welcome more than 18,000 new citizens during these celebrations, from September 16 through September 23. Museums, historic libraries, government landmarks and national park sites will provide the backdrop for this week-long celebration of citizenship and the achievements of our newest citizens.
Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is celebrated each year on Sept. 17 in remembrance of the signing of the Constitution in 1787. Since 1952, Citizenship Day has been celebrated in conjunction with Constitution Day. Congress first underscored the significance of U.S. citizenship in 1940, when it designated the third Sunday in May as "I Am an American Day." In 2004, Congress changed the designation of this day to "Constitution Day and Citizenship Day."

Mr Johnson said the company's growth in Australia had been substantial.

Male 1: With this scene there's just too much back-light. So the choices are, knock down the back-light, or add some light. Kevin, if you were going to knock down the light, what would you do to the window? Male 2: I would gel it, I would gel it with neutral density gel. And they sell rolls of six foot by 50 yards, that you can cut in the pattern or the shape that you need, and the size that you need, to cover any type of surface that you're blasting light through. That would take down that light so that you could equalize the foreground and the background elements. Male 1: So it's essentially a pair of sunglasses for the window.
And we could put one sheet or two sheets over it. Now, that's fine, and that might change the color temperature. That was one way of doing it. We're going to take the other approach which is, we're going to add some light. So can you go ahead and turn that light on? Now, there we go. By just simply adding a single light, the whole scene is looking pretty good. Is there, anything you'd change about it at this point? Male 2: Not with the time constraints, no. Male 1: Alright. So that's a DP's talk. Asking a DP if he would make a change to the lighting is like are you going to let me? Of course I'd make a change but, I think we could both agree that this is a pretty good shot.
Everything's set here. So why don't we go ahead and roll on that, and would you mind giving us another performance take?

Nitin Gadkari sees casteism in Bihar DNA, then says he meant 'political' DNA
By: Express News Service | Patna |
April 19, 2014 9:30 pm
BJP's Nitin Gadkari kicked up a storm by saying there is casteism in Bihar DNA.
Former BJP National president Nitin Gadkari kicked off controversy by saying that "there is casteism in Bihar DNA. He, however, soon retracted saying he "meant political DNA" of Bihar.
Gadkari had made the controversial statement this morning at Patna while discussing "caste-ridden" politics of the state. "There is cateism in DNA of Bihar", he said.
With JD (U) and Congress targeting Gadkari and calling his statement an "insult to Bihar people", Gadkari said he had meant political DNA and did not mean offence to any one.

Translated as "Morning Dew", Asatsuyu is a pure Sauvignon Blanc and the only white wine made by Kenzo Estate.
The Japanese word which corresponds to the unity between all things, this alluring Rose represents the poetic balance between Kenzo Estate and its pristine natural milieu.
The gentian (Rindo in Japanese) is a purple flower evoking the color of this wine, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
Meaning "Purple", Murasaki is a robust blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot selected from certain vineyard blocks and specific barrels.
Named "Indigo" for a color whose significance is profound in Japanese culture, this is a Cabernet Sauvignon possessed of the mighty stature the varietal is renowned for.
The name of the town where Kenzo was born, Asuka signifies a bright future and hope for tomorrow. The first Cabernet Franc from the estate, this has been selected specifically for the vintage.
ASATSUYUsauvignon blancPurity and varietal characteristics are emphasized rather than a flamboyant winemaking signature; seven months aging in small barrels and the suppression of malo-lactic fermentation retain the integrity of unique terroir and the brilliance of this grape. Cellar this wine for at least two years to develop the full weight on the palate. Complex baking aromas will mingle with more exotic floral components and a honeyed character will emerge. |

This dress has taken me forever to finish. I started out with some Anthropologie inspiration (the Homegrown Dress). I couldn't live without this dress. I loved it instantly so I tried my hand at making my own version. The bodice here is from McCalls 6027 and the skirt is from Simplicity 2724 which you might remember seeing as the full skirt pleated option if you've bought that pattern. I also used this pattern for my Naughty Secretary dress. Did I say that I absolutely love this pattern? Go out and buy it now. Really.
I had some princess seam issues with the bodice and had to change those around a bit, but now it really does fit like a glove. The skirt worked out very well. The skirt originally started out as a gathered numbered which looked really silly on me when I was almost finished and just about to hem it up. I decided to unpick it and redo the skirt because I knew I wouldn't wear it otherwise. And I can't just not wear it after all this work. Ahhh!
So here it is. My perfect spring dress. Favorite part – that fabulous tie. I think it brings the whole dern thing together! For more on this dress and everything it took to get here, visit my blog.

Any of the threadlike bacteria that make up the genus Streptomyces, occurring in soil and water. These gram-positive (see gram stain), oxygen-requiring bacteria form a branching net called a mycelium that bears chains of spores at maturity. Many species are important in the decomposition of organic matter in soil, contributing in part to the earthy odour of soil and decaying leaves and to the fertility of soil. Certain species produce antibiotics such as tetracycline and streptomycin. See also actinomycete.

A visit to a green roof atop a Louisville building and a contest held by a floor covering company allowed Elizabethtown resident Nathan Bush an opportunity to do what he loves — create and design.
Bush, who graduated from the University of Louisville with a degree in interior architecture, entered Mannington Commercial's tx:style Design Challenge 2011 with a carpet design called "Squiggle."
"I always had an interest in art and design," Bush said.
The inspiration for "Squiggle" came when he was in Louisville attending a function atop the American Life building, which has a green roof. The roof uses succulent plants to absorb heat and water runoff.
Bush took photos of the plants and used them as the basis for his design.
"Color selection, I think, is the hardest thing about designing carpet," the Central Hardin High School graduate said.
Customers buy based on color, Bush said.
"Because color is what really impacts people when they walk into a space," he said.
"Squiggle" is a pattern done in gray and chartreuse. Bush called the colors electric and energizing.
Results of the competition were expected to be posted at www. manningtontxstyle.com this week. Six finalists in two categories will be named before a grand prize winner is named.
For Bush, the competition provided a chance to engage in the creative process.
Creating the design began with sketches. The process is meant to simplify the pattern graphically. Then the design goes to the computer where it is refined, Bush said.
The designer created his pattern to blend so the pattern could appear continuous regardless of how cut portions were lined up, he said.
When all was told, the process of creating the design took the equivalent of at least two eight-hour days, he said.
Regardless of the outcome the competition sparked his creativity.
"I know it's not my last chance," Bush said.
In fact, Bush plans to pursue his career goal of commercial interior design in the hospitality industry and office environment. He keeps his eyes on trends in related industries.
"I think in general the carpet industry is becoming more contemporary," he said.
Bush said he had a professor in college who told him trends were cyclical, and the designer agrees.
Another trend in the industry is custom designs, Bush said. Businesses want designs that complement their company's colors, for instance.
Overall, he said, designs are more graphic in nature.
"I think technology is also making us appreciate design," he said.
While commercial carpet design seems to be getting more contemporary and graphic, residential is less daring, mainly because a house's resale value tends to be a consideration, Bush said.
Part of what Bush enjoys about design is the challenge of meeting the needs of the user. Just how well his final designs equal his visions is a source of uncertainty.
"For me that is the designer's dilemma — the expression of ideas," Bush said.
With his eye to the world of commercial design, Bush will move to a larger metropolitan area — one he's not certain of yet — so he can be closer to a strong commercial market.
Though he's not sure what the future holds for him, Bush enjoys the problem-solving nature of design and finds inspiration everywhere.
"Life is your catalyst," he said.

text: Dear Kira,Dear Kira, I feel it's necessary to say 'dear [insert name]' at the beginning of every letter, because that's how we were taught to write letters, but some people just say the person's name without 'dear' and it makes them sound upset. I personally would like to say 'oh sweet' or 'oh so lovely' in place of 'dear' sometimes.Oh sweet Kira, Sometimes I imagine being a famous actor, author, or musician's son. How cool would that be? But the more I think about it, the more I realize it probably wouldn't be as exhilarating as it seems if I actually were. Their kids probably don't see them as superstars. And that thought reminds me that the family I have are superstars, even if it's only in my galaxy.Oh so lovely Kira,

We even heard hints of Moroder in Little Boots' Nocturnes song "Strangers," which we brought up to Victoria Hesketh (LB's real name) while chatting with her in New York recently. She explained that the song was actually influenced more by ABBA, though Giorgio Moroder's music has also had quite an effect on her over the years.
Above, Victoria talks about messaging the famed producer on SoundCloud. "Must have been around the time Daft Punk hit him up," she jokes. "It's like, inbox: Little Boots? Daft Punk. Fair enough, Giorgio."
Now, for a bit of a throwback, Little Boots' cover of Freddie Mercury's "Love Kills," a song originally from Moroder's Metropolis soundtrack:

T-TablePin It Houzz |
. |
Related Info Tools |
Design by Patricia Urquiola, 2006.
Made in Italy by Kartell.
Designed by Patricia Urquiola, the T-Table was a giant hit in Milan when it launched in early 2006. Manufactured in durable PMMA, the surface of the table is reminiscent of embroidery, resulting in a product that is functional and extremely decorative. T-Table can be used alone or in groupings.
This line of tables originated from the creativity of Patricia Urquiola combined with Kartell's capability and technological know-how. They resulted from the research into innovative surfaces to achieve new visual and tactile effects. The surface of the T-table top alternates fullness and space to create an elegant and precious effect which is reminiscent of embroidery. Select from clear, colored transparent versions or matte black in three different heights.

Born in Oviedo, a town of Northern Spain, Patricia Urquiola studied first in Madrid and then in Milan where in 1989 she graduated from the Milan Polytechnic with her thesis supervised by the internationally renowned designer and architect Achille Castiglioni. Even though from a sociocultural point of view she is very attached to the Spanish tradition, the studies she got involved with influenced her to such an extent that she became of the most important figures of modern Italian design.
From 1990 to 1992 she taught in the role of assistant professor at the Milan Polytechnic, and at the Ensci (Ecole nationale supérieure de création industrielle) in Paris, France. During that period she also started a partnership with the Italian design company Maddalena De Padova where she met another internationally renowned designer, Vico Magistretti, with whom she designed the chair Flower, the sofa Loom, and the horizontal chair Chaise Longue. Like Achille Castiglioni, Vico Mgistretti noticed her talent and advised her to aspire to achieve the highest professional standards at a worldwide level.
From 1993 to 1996 she worked in a design workshop that she had initiated with other designers where she was involved in architectural planning of buildings, interior design, and exhibition design. In 1998 she started partnership with the firm Moroso and created elegant upholstered pieces of furniture that people found irresistible.
Patricia Urquiola while working in harmony with the highest academic standards, also takes into consideration the impact that her products have on the vast public. She focuses on the design of exchangeable units without using modular elements, and successfully creates environments designed to encourage positive feelings and company.
From 1996 she is a coordinator of the design group of the company Lissoni Associati and articulates her professional activity around countless work partnerships with design and architecture companies of worldwide importance like her teachers Achille Castiglioni and Vico Magistretti had wished.

Kartell works with renowned designers such as Ron Arad, Antonio Citterio, Michele De Lucchi, Ferruccio Laviani, Piero Lissoni, patricia Urquiola, Vico Magistretti, Enzo Mari, Alberto Meda, Paolo Rizzatto and Philippe Starck, who all appreciate the wealth of knowledge that Kartell has about plastics technology and the innovative ways in which it can be effectively applied to items for modern living.
Kartell has over fifty years of experience in designing classic furniture from plastics which has made the company famous in the history of Italian and international design.

Recommended Reading: Marijuana Facts for Teens and their Parents
Recent decisions by a number of states to legalize, or consider legalizing, marijuana has prompted the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to update two guides: Marijuana Facts for Teens and Marijuana: Facts Parents Need to Know.
According to NIDA, marijuana remains the most abused illegal substance among young adults. By the time they graduate high school, about 46 percent of U.S. teens will have tried marijuana at least once. And although marijuana use among teens dropped dramatically in the last ten years, use of the drug is on the upswing again. Approximately 12.4 percent of students reported use in the month before being surveyed in 2007; in 2013, nearly 23 percent of high school seniors reported current marijuana use and 6.5 percent used marijuana daily.
NIDA's annual Monitoring the Future survey, which has been tracking teen attitudes and drug use since 1975, shows that use of marijuana over time is directly related to how safe teens perceive the drug to be. The most recent survey shows that the number of teens who think marijuana users risk harming themselves is declining, even though studies have shown that the impacts of marijuana use can include a permanently lower IQ, poor school performance, psychosis, panic and impaired driving. A study earlier this month in JAMA Pediatrics found that college-age men dispute the idea that marijuana can impact their driving.
"The subject of marijuana use has become increasingly difficult to talk about—in part, because of the mixed messages being conveyed by the passage of medical marijuana laws and legalization of marijuana in some states," said NIDA director Nora Volk. "In addition, many parents of today's teens may have used marijuana when they were younger, which could make talking openly and setting definitive rules about its use more difficult."
"Sometimes," he added, "just beginning the conversation is the hardest part. I hope these booklets can help."
The updated booklets include new data on marijuana use; new evidence-based information on the potential harms of marijuana; and information on the highly dangerous and even lethal K2/Spice, also referred to as synthetic marijuana.
Marijuana Facts for Teens is also available in print; Marijuana: Facts Parents Need to Know will be available in print soon.
