Templeton Middle School was presented with the Program Excellence Award by the International Technology & Engineering Educator Association (ITEEA) at its annual conference in Columbus, Ohio. Templeton was one of only 29 programs worldwide to earn the prestigious award.
The Program Excellence Award is one of the highest honors given to technology and engineering programs serving students in grades K-12. Presentation of the award, which recognizes outstanding contributions to the profession and students, was given at the largest technology and engineering education conference in the world. Templeton applied engineering and technology teacher Shannon Flaherty received award plaques and pins at the first general session of the conference.
Templeton transformed its technology and engineering program in 2006-07, taking it from traditional industrial arts to a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) based curriculum. The program has seen an increase in course offerings, elective enrollments and female student enrollment.
All seventh grade students are required to take "Gateway to Technology and Engineering" which focuses on technology and the design and modeling process. Eighth-graders may choose "Technology and Engineering Education" which introduces students to material properties, structures, computer-aided 3D design, digital electronics, energy transfer, wood and plastic fabrication and automation. Both classes follow the Project Lead the Way curriculum to integrate increasingly high levels of math, science and writing.
Flaherty said he is proud that Templeton has significantly increased the rigor of the program while attracting more students. Enrollment in the eighth grade elective course increased from 43 students in 2006 to more than 100 students last year.
Templeton was chosen the Middle School Program of the Year in 2012 by the Wisconsin Technology Education Association outstanding service and commitment to technology education.

The Eris spherical watch - planetary in name and nature
By Mick Webb
July 14, 2009
While time itself is becoming an increasingly valuable commodity in today's hustle and bustle world, there is certainly no shortage of innovative timepieces to help us keep track of it. Inspired by the recently discovered dwarf planet Eris, this example does away with the conventional two dimensional approach to timekeeping, instead using a globe design featuring "floating" hands that glide around the "equator" of the watch.
Designed by students of Geneva's School of Applied Arts, two rotating hands protrude from within the center of the spherical watch - a white hour hand and an orange minute hand, representing the lower and upper hemispheres respectively.
Manufacturer Pierre Junod has incorporated a Swiss quartz movement inside, as well as mineral glass and anodized aluminum for the outside of the 1.3 inches diameter sphere.
The watches are sold with a rubber strap for hanging around the neck and for those not keen on taking that fashion step, these unique timepieces could also be used as a pocket watch or even desk accessory.
The planetary sphere watches are retailing in late July for around USD$450 at Watchismo.Share

Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Tieto Corporation STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 27 May 2014, 10.00 am EET
Tieto will today arrange its Capital Market Day in Helsinki. The company will provide insights to the changes in IT services market and elaborate its investments in selected growth offerings. Presentations will provide further updates on the company's strategy execution and outlook for its Service Lines and Industry Groups in 2014–2016.
In the long run, Tieto's ambition is to grow faster than the market in IT services, with growth mainly coming from services driving end-customer experience and cloud services as well as selected industry products. The company will increase its investments in offering development with focus on emerging services, e.g. Customer Experience Management, Industrial Internet and Lifecare.
Tieto anticipates that IT services industry change, including digitalization, will drive renewal of Tieto's services and competences. The company will recruit and develop people in emerging services to address the new growth opportunities in the market. In parallel, traditional services will become less labour intensive due to industrialization of infrastructure and application management.
The company reconfirms the financial objectives for the strategy period, with an updated dividend policy. Tieto's aim is to increase dividends annually in absolute terms and pay a minimum of 50% of its net result. Due to its healthy cash flow, clearly exceeding annual investment levels, the company has increased its dividends four years in a row. The long-term target of 10% EBIT margin is unchanged. The business mix change, resulting from the growth in emerging services, competitive cost structure and industrialization of services are anticipated to be key drivers for profit improvement.
"Continued technology disruption and the changes in customer requirements will affect the whole IT industry, opening up new opportunities for growth. Our business mix will evolve during the coming years with high-growth offerings contributing to our ambition to grow faster than the market. We expect to continue solid execution of our chosen strategy to meet our confirmed long-term objectives. Our ambition is to remain attractive for all stakeholders by providing excellent services to our customers, career opportunities to employees and attractive shareholder returns to investors," says Kimmo Alkio, President and CEO.

"A watch to remember",
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Michael Kors Women's MK5191 Runway Black Watch (Watch)
This watch is beautiful and classic. Wearing it will get a lot of attention. The quality is definitely high and its appearance shows it. I highly recommend this as a gift or even for yourself. I was seeking watches night and day for about two weeks. The watch I first wanted was from 'Michele', a white with gold style pricing for about $218. However, the band is just rubber. Compare to Michael Kors, the band contains rubber over the links of the bracelet. When I first received my watch, and tried it on and the band was too big. I thought I was stuck with an oversize band. Luckily I found a small jewelry/watch repair shop and the store manager was kind enough to remove three links and size it down perfectly to my wrist. He did charge me $8 for the job that beats paying $225+ tax for the watch @Macy's. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase because of the great price and fast service. I hope this will help you decide.

Man Accused in BYU Student Sex, Extortion Case
(PROVO, Utah) – A 36-year-old Orem, Utah man is accused to trying to extort money and sexual favors from an engaged male Brigham Young University student he met on Craigslist. Brad Ray Adams was arraigned Monday in Provo on felony counts of forcible sodomy and voyeurism among other charges. Police say the student sent a sexually suggestive photo to Adams, and Adams threatened to alert BYU officials if he didn't meet up with him. Adams then allegedly videotaped their encounter and claimed he would release the video unless he was paid money.

Guests will pay whatever they want, based on their impressions of the hotel, the room and the service.
Tourists often complain about high hotel rates in Paris and tiny rooms.
The scheme will run until August 10 and will be available only to those who have made bookings through the website
(Pay what you want).
"It's a fair price operation, one of confidence in the client," said Aldric Duval, the head of the Tour d'Auvergne hotel, and the man who came up with the idea.

Old concrete helps keep water clean
Lakes and streams are often receiving so much phosphorous that it could pose a threat to the local aquatic environment. Now, researchers show that there is an easy and inexpensive way to prevent phosphorus from being discharged to aquatic environments. The solution is crushed concrete from demolition sites.
Catastrophes cost global insurance industry more than $20 billion in first half of 2013
Total economic losses from disasters in the first half of 2013 reached $56 billion. Insured losses from natural catastrophes totaled $17 billion, with flooding a main driver. Around 7,000 lives were lost as a result of natural catastrophes and man-made disasters.
Cost of flood losses in major coastal cities to exceed $50 billion by 2050
A new study estimate present and future flood losses — or the global cost of flooding — in 136 of the world's largest coastal cities, taking into account existing coastal protections. Average global flood losses in 2005, estimated at about $6 billion per year, could increase to $52 billion by 2050 with projected socio-economic change alone. Due to their high wealth and low protection level, three American cities — Miami, New York City, and New Orleans — are responsible for 31 percent of the losses across the 136 cities.
Louisiana energy companies sued over destruction of New Orleans' wetlands
The Louisiana oil and gas industry has dredged more than 10,000 miles of canals through the state's wetlands, causing the destruction of natural buffers and barriers which, in the past, had moderated the impact of hurricanes and protected New Orleans from severe storms. The Army Corps of Engineers has embarked on a $14.6 billion plan to undo some of the damage caused by the energy companies. The plan consists of levee improvement, wetland restoration, and land reclamation to make New Orleans better protected in the face of rising seas and more frequent and severe extreme weather events. The Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority East (SLFPAE) has filed suit against 94energy companies,asking the court to order the companies to do their part to correct the problem they have caused.
Heat waves to become more frequent, severe
Climate change is set to trigger more frequent and severe heat waves in the next thirty years regardless of the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) we emit into the atmosphere, a new study has shown. In the first half of the twenty-first century, these projections will occur regardless of the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. After then, the rise in frequency of extreme heat waves becomes dependent on the emission scenario adopted.
Climate change was proximate, not primary, cause of 2012 Great Plains drought: study
From May to July 2012, the Great Plains region of the western United States faced a powerful and unpredicted drought. Following seven months of normal rainfall, the drought was one of the largest deviations from seasonal precipitation rates seen in the region since observations began in 1895. Researches find that the drought fell within the bounds of natural atmospheric variability. The strength of the drought, they suggest, was a consequence of the multiple complex nonlinear systems that make up the climate system and did not critically depend on the existence of a strong external forcing.
Site of proposed Los Angeles skyscrapers may contain active seismic fault
Officials at New York-based Millennium Partners have agreed to dig a trench on a site proposed for two towers, thirty-nine and thirty-five stories tall, flanking the iconic Capitol Records building in Los Angeles. Opponents of the project say there is an active seismic fault under the planned location for the two towers, and the developer says the trench will allow geologists to see whether or not it would be safe to build the towers on the proposed site. Critics say that a panel of neutral experts, led by state officials, should do the geological investigation.
Better approach toward projecting, planning for rising sea levels on a warmer Earth
More useful projections of sea level are possible despite substantial uncertainty about the future behavior of massive ice sheets, according to Princeton University researchers. The researchers present a probabilistic assessment of the Antarctic contribution to twenty-first century sea-level change. Their methodology folds observed changes and models of different complexity into unified projections that can be updated with new information. This approach provides a consistent means to integrate the potential contribution of both continental ice sheets — Greenland and Antarctica — into sea-level rise projections.
Bolstering national grid resilience as extreme weather events intensify
Between 2003 and 2012, an estimated 679 widespread power outages in the United States occurred due to severe weather. A recent Congressional Research Service study estimates the inflation-adjusted cost of weather-related outages at $25 to $70 billion annually. A new White House report says that grid resilience is increasingly important as climate change increases the frequency and intensity of severe weather.
Groundwater in Vietnam threatened by a new source of arsenic
In Southern Asia, an estimated 100 million people have been exposed to risks from groundwater contaminated with naturally occurring arsenic. The tainted water, used for drinking, agriculture, and industry, has resulted in a variety of serious health risks, including cancer. "Dig deep" to avoid naturally occurring arsenic contamination has been promoted as an answer to obtaining safe water in South Asia, but arsenic has been found in numerous deep wells drilled in the Mekong Delta region of southern Vietnam.
A 34-story wooden skyscraper to be built in Stockholm
A Swedish architectural form is building a 34-story wood skyscraper in downtown Stockholm. Solid wood will be the predominant material in the building's pillars and beams, while inside the apartments, walls, ceilings, fittings and window frames will be also constructed of wood.The firm says that wood is not only cheaper than either steel or concrete, but is also more fire resistant than both. This is due to 15 percent of wood mass being water, which will evaporate before the wood actually burns. In addition, logs get charred which protects the core.
Aging grid limiting exploitation of wind power potential
Energy firms and utility companies continue to invest in wind power, as evident in the increasing number of wind turbines on the prairies of the Midwest, but the aging infrastructure of the nation's power grid is limiting the potential of this clean energy source.
Global warming threatens South American water supply: study
Chile and Argentina may face critical water storage issues due to rain-bearing westerly winds over South America's Patagonian Ice-Field to moving south as a result of global warming.
Mapping out an alternative energy future for New York
New York governor Andrew Cuomo will soon decide whether to approve hydraulic fracturing for natural gas in the state. To date, no alternative to expanded gas drilling has been proposed.A new study finds that it is technically and economically feasible to convert New York's all-purpose energy infrastructure to one powered by wind, water, and sunlight (WWS).
Making storm warnings more exact, useful
The College of Staten Island (CSI)is the home of one of the most powerful mainframe computer systems in the country, an outgrowth of the City University of New York's (CUNY) Decade of Science initiative. Following August 2011 Hurricane Irene, CSI scientistsset out to use that computing horsepower to generate scientific data hard enough to make the warnings something more than abstract. They fed millions of data points into the supercomputers, turning an admixture of geology, oceanography, climatology, and land surveys into a set of highly specific projections. Then, on 25 October 2012, Superstorm Sandy hit, and the actual water surges could be measured against the surge projections of the CSI model. On street after street, the computer model predicted flooding to within a foot of the actual surges.

To critically review the different screening systems used for canine hip dysplasia (CHD) and their impact on the prevalence of the disease.
Study design
Critical literature review.
Literature search through PubMed (November 1959–October 2011) and the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI), British Veterinary Association/Kennel Club (BVA/KC), and Pennsylvania Hip Improvement Program (PennHIP) websites.
The OFA, FCI, and BVA/KC screening methods, which use the hip-extended radiographic projection, have had relatively minor success on CHD prevalence. These screening approaches are prone to conflicting data regarding interobserver agreement. The PennHIP and Dorsolateral Subluxation (DLS) systems, both distraction methods, have not reported on prevalence but seem to be important heritable traits in genomic screening of dysplastic dogs.
A shift towards genome screening yields a promising future combating CHD, although further investigation towards fine-mapping in the search for genes, responsible for CHD, is necessary.

Albers is accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. As of July 2014, less than five percent of the world's business schools and less than one third of U.S. business schools have achieved business accreditation from AACSB.
I'm currently sitting in a Starbucks near the B11 gate, located all the way at the far end of the Seatac Airport. There are four television screens in view, all of them playing news or sports programs. There's an international payphone with a pole that contains some universal sign for phone at the very top of it. There's even a handwritten note informing me that Starbucks is, "Now Serving Coconut Milk Made From Sumatran Coconuts." Everywhere there's this push for product to be moved, for a potential customer's attention. The rather interesting part is it all feels a little grosser in an airport. You're trapped, you've got no choice but to engage with the ads and notices because you need to make calls, eat food, use rented movies to stave off that tipsy guy who wants to have a heart to heart on the flight. (Sorry, it's probably me.) Essentially, we're being bombarded by implemented market strategies, by customer engagement attempts that pull, pick, prod, and ultimately consume the wallet share of a diverse, traveling crowd.
The problem that companies and people have is centered not in the job itself, but the authenticity of all these decisions and interactions. Yet here some of us will find ourselves, trudging through the world we hope to engage in. We know that now we may be the ones shifting supply chain over to Sumatran Coconuts, maybe we'll move into managing news ad sales, we could be the ones hiring the designer to create the international symbol for "payphone," we could even create a movie rental business partnered with an airport.
A lot of us in the program are truly creative people, inspired to grow and spread their own consciousness out into the noise that you only really notice in a place like an airport. Now, halfway through graduate school with no projects to take up our own engagement, we must question the choices we've made to get here. These conversations are almost always relegated to bars and late night phone conversations, the tinny voice asking or answering, "What's the point of all this?"
There is no doubt that we are not the only ones asking these questions or filling that blank space with answers. The program works in an interesting way here, and it's situated in the fact that we don't see it. It all starts when applications come before the desks of those talented, caring, and funny human beings who select the cohort. You have Susan Weihrich, David Carrithers, John Merle, and many others who work behind the scenes with a true passion for both learning and helping others. These initial decisions, on who ends up stuck together, crammed in classes day in and day out, that's the spark to light the match. What you then find are a group of diverse people who want more than a 9 to 5, who've been inspired to first swim out into the world of art and creative vision, only to find that they need the business language and skills in order to flourish. In this way, we're put together to do much more than the average group, we're working together to heal, to learn, and to grow into the kinds of people who can be understood and are understanding.
In those late night conversations, I see talented individuals who recognize a certain perceived sickness or wrongness within the world. They've always seen it, as most of us do, but they also see ways to fix it, and this program has taken on that lens for them. It's about creating a better world, about taking a moment like high-fiving your teammates, or celebrating achievements with a significant other and using those to fuel a consciousness that engages with the other authentically and unapologetically.
No matter the petty differences between us, at the end of the program we will walk away with knowledge accumulated over the year that has already pushed us to question our realities, futures, and ability to spread compassion inside and outside of the classroom. I can't tell you if the program is the main factor that has built this inside of us, but I can tell you that this class will change the world.

We are now almost halfway through our experience with the Bridge MBA. As this milestone approaches, the cohort is in many different modes, though all of them relate back to planning.Our first and foremost goal comes down to answering an initial question that's bounced around in our collective headspace for the past few months. Do we enter the Harriet Stephenson Business Plan Competition or should we go for an internship? It was not an easy decision, as we could choose either in order to complete the requirement for the program.However, for most of us, the opportunities and wide range of internships were our first priority. As always we were not on our own, as the program delivers another round of resume reviews, practice interviews, and one-on-one meetings with Justin Dolce, our new Graduate Student Career Advisor. There was a lot of work to be done, and all of us have learned that rejection is a big part of the game. Despite these struggles, the appealing nature of the internship option can be found in its broad range of promised experience (and pay). There's an opportunity to enter into a field that has interested you. Maybe it's a job you've wanted since childhood, or maybe it's an interest that's been triggered by one of the more recent MBA classes. Either way, the internships are akin to a test drive. Try navigating part of the real world, see if you perform well, then either find a new "car" or double down and try to find those fulltime jobs later in the year. For us, it's just one of many real reassurances that we are developing skills that will cater to our future careers.For some, however, the entrepreneurship opportunities are too good to pass up. Two students in particular, Ryan Claypool and Kevin Klauer, have decided to go ahead and enter the competition. The business plan competition serves two distinct purposes. The first is to allow students who may not have a solid working background to engage in work that can help build a portfolio and show fulltime employers the skills and knowledge these students can bring to the table. The second is a chance to realize the dream of every entrepreneur, potential seed money and recognition of a personal vision. Ryan and Kevin fall into the second category, both of them excited about the chance to push forth their own ideas into a competition whose previous winners have gone on to raise 4 million in initial capital.Outside of these goals and future plans, many of us are making use of our free time to explore Seattle and plan trips for our upcoming break. In Seattle, roaming around with veterans and newbies alike, our cohort has been able to enjoy the broad range of eateries, bars, shopping, and more. Outside of the city, many of us are taking trips together, our newfound friendships blossoming into the kind of connections that will last many years down the line. For myself this translates into hosting two of my classmates in San Francisco, sharing a part of my life most of my undergraduate friends have been unable to experience. As always, options inside and outside of the classroom abound in the Bridge MBA and we are as grateful as ever to be a part of it.Check out some pictures of us exploring below:

From Washington to Utah and back again, Danielle's journey has been filled with a search for meaning (and sushi). This search for meaning originally manifested itself in her undergraduate studies at Utah State, where she graduated in 2010 with a BS in Anthropology. After completing her studies, Danielle and her fiancé moved into the Central District in order to be close to Seattle University's Law School. From here, it could be said that the Bridge MBA was a program of convenience for Danielle, but it is not the case.
For Danielle, the program offers her a chance to take her degree in anthropology and apply it to the human condition within business practices. With her interest in Human Resources, the program has become the gateway to get a job that fulfills her interests, as is the case for all of us in the program.
More specifically, her favorite class (so far) has been Economics, taught by Erin Vernon. The information gleaned has helped Danielle in understanding supply and demand on both a micro and macro scale but it has also pushed her to question the relationships between the consumer and the economy. It is, ultimately, these theories that remind her that she loves both the personal and analytical, thus solidifying career interests that she has long held.
Outside of classes, the program has also worked to bring fun and excitement into her daily life. In our interview, she noted that both the supportive students and the dedication of the faculty have been distinctively beneficial. Not only are the professors working to ensure their individual classes mesh in relevant and topical ways, but they work in tandem so critical assignments never put too much pressure on the cohort. This translates to all of us having time to engage with each other, both in relation to studying and blowing off steam.
For Danielle, the program will bring her to the next step in her life story. With a marriage in the works and new job opportunities opening up, she's set up for a life in which hard work is paying off.General Advice:Seattle: "Seattle is full of cool stuff, especially during summer. I love going to catch a Sounders game or exploring all of the different parks. Definitely get yourself out there and see what's going on."To Parents: "This is for the younger students' parents. Don't think that it will be easy just because it's a one-year program and know that the program really does set someone up for the future."To Prospective Students: "Take advantage of every opportunity even if you think it's lame. Those opportunities give you so many chances to explore, learn, and potentially connect with someone or something that can guide your life. This program is all about growing your opportunities. Just do it!"Have a question about the Bridge MBA program? Want to chat in person?

"Show, don't tell." It's a common phrase you'll hear in creative writing seminars. You're supposed to immerse the reader in a world, crafting dialogue and other elements that bring them straight into the story. However, the "telling" portion of any story is still an important tool. It works to create shortcuts, to move a story along and ensure your average novel doesn't get stuck in just one place.Unlike most authors, universities often employ a "tell" model. It's a sort of necessary evil, in which educational institutions need to cover a plethora of topics and cannot place students in every environment where "showing" is an option. This is where the stress of graduation comes into play, and why internships are so heavily encouraged. You may learn about supply chain management in a classroom, but you won't know if it's the right job until you've been shown how such a topic functions in the real world.The Bridge MBA works to employ a hybrid of the show/tell model that emphasizes an education which helps students to find the jobs they'll flourish in. For the cohort as a whole, this intersect can be found in Seattle University's Executive Speaker Series and Mentor Program. The Executive Speaker Series, as the name suggests, is a string of events that bring CEO's, CIO's, CFO's, and the like to Seattle University. With companies like PACCAR, Holland America Line, Blucora, and Columbia Bank, the Speaker Series engages in the best kind of telling. It gets students up close and personal with those who have gone down the path many of us are currently on.Enter Seattle University's Mentor Program. Every student in the Bridge MBA is assigned a mentor based on a meet and greet event where both full-time professionals and students mingle. These mentors offer guidance in potential job fields and can even set up job shadows within their own industry. The combination of a one-on-one relationship with a mentor allows students to take the lecture-esque Speaker Series and get real advice from someone dedicated to helping them succeed.The professors within the Bridge MBA also realize the importance of a balanced dynamic between showing and telling. In Operations and Supply Chain Management, taught by Greg Magnan (syllabus here), we are encouraged and required to visit a company in the PNW in order to understand and grasp the reality of supply chain management. Thanks to Danielle Hall's mentor, my group was able to set up a tour of PACCAR's Kenworth facility in Renton. That same week the CEO of PACCAR, Ron Armstrong, spoke at an Executive Speaker Series and I found the opportunity to ask him about supply chain strategy. The combination helped our group to create deliverables and provided us with the opportunity to grow in our understanding of supply chain management.
Jay Lambe, who teaches Marketing Strategy, goes a step further. Not only has he set up a marketing project with a local PNW company, more on that in a post coming soon, but he regularly brings in members of the community who have been engaged in various marketing ventures. In the last month alone, we have been fortunate enough to have met and heard from Todd Olsen, Product Development Lead for Golazo and Robbie Bach, the former President of Entertainment & Devices at Microsoft. Both of these speakers spent over an hour presenting, answering questions, and giving us an inside look into how data utilization and creative thinking function in the world of marketing.Todd Olsen posing with some of the cohort.Photo Credit: Eric Madison.So, there you have it. All of these experiences bring us closer to an understanding that goes much further than skimming a textbook or taking a test and the Bridge MBA provides that solid network which keeps us on task academically while allowing us to veer off into whatever field seems to be calling our name.In the next post we will be discussing the internship process our cohort is going through, the Harriet Stephenson Business Plan Competition, and how some of our limited free time is spent in Seattle.Have a question about the Bridge MBA program?

Student interest pieces are designed to give you a glimpse into the wide array of people that are engaged in their yearlong journey with the Bridge MBA program. Each week I, Benjamin Porter, will interview a student and compile a profile that highlights who they are, what they're all about, and what advice they have for parents and students alike.Hailing from the suburbs of Chicago, Kourtnee Moore is our first student to be featured. She prefers dogs over cats, loves the color baby blue, and wholeheartedly misses Chicago "deep dish" pizza. In 2014, Kourtnee graduated from DePaul University in Chicago with a B.A. in psychology. Kourtnee was attracted to Seattle University because of its "pacific northwest vibe" and proximity to a plethora of activities in Capitol Hill and other prominent neighborhoods. Additionally, she felt that the Bridge MBA delivered a platform for her to use her knowledge in psychology and apply it to business practices and projects.
So far, Kourtnee's favorite class has been Fall Quarter's Organizational Behavior. Taught by Colette Hoption (syllabus here), the class focused on the study of the self and others in relation to team cohesion, the management of organizations, and emerging business development strategies implemented by companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo. For Kourtnee, this class solidified something she had felt but not known. She found that she already held the knowledgeable capital needed in the business world, but could now apply it in quantifiable terms ready to be highlighted in a resume or explored in an interview. It is one of Kourtnee's favorite parts of the program, that ability to unlock old information and apply it to relevant business structures.
Within the cohort itself, Kourtnee's emotional intelligence can be found in her quick wit and empathy towards students who are struggling with certain concepts or decisions. While her biggest hope is to find a company that invests in her as much as she invests in them, our cohort can say from experience that her attitude will lend itself quickly to those forward-thinking environments.
General Advice:Seattle: "Seattle has so much going on, just get out there and explore. I love going out with people and studying or letting off steam in places like, Pike and Pine St., Café Vita, or the library on campus."
To Parents: "Take a load off. You wouldn't believe how involved the Albers Placement Center is. The program also does mock interviews, resume reviews with companies like Geico, individual meetings with the program director, and more…"
To Prospective Students: "Study hard on your own. We took classes online in order to prepare for the classes but you can really set yourself up to learn more and figure out what you love by seeing what sticks on its own. Also, learn to network!"

Welcome to "Bridging the Gap", your number one source for everything related to Seattle University's Bridge MBA program. Over the next few months, Eric and I will take you through the opportunities and adventures afforded to us through this program.In a nutshell, the Bridge MBA is a 12-month graduate program designed to give non-business majors the opportunity to explore and develop business acumen. It's a broad program, one that will give you a breadth of knowledge to guide your future career decisions and provide an entrance into a sometimes complicated and confusing world.
An unconventional example of that breadth of knowledge comes from the first day our cohort met each other. We were all dressed up, unsure of what to make of each other, and not at all sure what the day had in store for us. Within an hour, we were instructed to dive through hula hoops, perform trust falls, and generally goof around. These activities, while a little silly, broke down barriers between strangers and revealed the similarities and differences between us. That first day, we learned something businesses like Microsoft and Amazon pay a lot of money to learn, you have to be supported by a good team of people in order to accomplish even the simplest tasks.
I'll provide another example of the odd but necessary learning that has taken place for me over the last five months. When I got into this program, I couldn't tie a tie. This is a confession that I will gladly put out onto the web because it illustrates an important point.
The program offers almost 24/7 guidance on effective networking techniques, where to find tutors, and how to build a resume. The program does not offer a seminar on how to tie a tie. Enter Patrick Popovici, one of the many friends I've made in this program. He was my style savior. Having worked in a law firm for a few years before joining our cohort in the Bridge MBA, he had an extensive knowledge of corporate dress and the kindness to teach me that one minuscule but essential task of tying a tie. That's the beautiful thing about this program. Your skills are developed and grown everywhere, whether that be in a classroom, a workshop, or in a bathroom mirror 10 minutes before an internship fair. It sets our program apart and makes the whole being a professional adult thing a lot easier.As you'll see in the student interest pieces we will go on to publish, the strength of this program comes from the diverse background of students all pursuing a common goal. There's a constant convergence of knowledge, one that helps to inform students in the connection between supply chain management and informational technology, as well as the little things we often don't think about while pursuing a degree.
Next week we will dive into the academic benefits of the Bridge MBA program by covering Seattle University's Mentor Program, the Executive Speaker Series, and a trip we took to PACCAR for our winter quarter class, Operations and Supply Chain Management. In the meantime, click HERE to get a bird's-eye view of what the class of 2015 looks like.

Welcome to our first issue of Bridge Banter. Rather than overwhelm you with lots of emails, I will try and keep that number down by sending you an update every two weeks with critical announcements, updates, and "gossip." Bridge staff, faculty, and alums will also be kept updated on what is going on in the program. If you would like me to add anything to the newsletter, just email. I will also post to the Bridge Canvas page. (I just took a Canvas course, so I am eager to try all the tools!)
One of the more important events this week is the Albers Mentor Fair on Friday, October 3. Please go to the Albers Placement Center webpage at http://www.seattleu.edu/albers/programs/mentor/. There is important information about how to participate and a list of the mentors. You can filter to see which of the mentors have specifically requested Bridge MBA students. As of last week, there were 19 Bridge mentors from a diverse selection of industries and functional areas.
Back by popular demand is Professor Bryan Ruppert. Next Tuesday and Thursday, October 7 & 9, Dr. Ruppert will be presenting the mandatory Fall quarter Business Communications Seminar. Employers tell us that communications is one of the most important skills that students should develop before they start their professional careers. The seminars are 10:30-noon. Tuesday is in CHDN 143, and Thursday is CHDN 144. Attendance is required at both sessions. We won't be able to provide lunch, but you will have plenty of time to run over to the Student Center before your afternoon class.
Several students have asked about completing the EXCEL certification exam. It is a great resume addition. We are a certified testing center. You can find out more about the certification exam at http://www.seattleu.edu/albers/undergraduate/resources/excel/. It is on the undergraduate website because Albers requires that all Albers undergraduates be EXCEL certified before they graduate. Many graduate students also want this opportunity.
Don't forget to email me at email@example.com and set-up an appointment to discuss your experiences and any challenges you might be having in the program.See you Friday at the Albers Mentor Fair!Best,Susan WeihrichAssociate Dean and Bridge MBA Director

Featured on the latest quarterly are a series of icons O Street developed for Glasgow's Future City dashboard as part of the Open Glasgow project.
A big part of this pioneering project (read more about it here) was to make sure the data was presented in a unique and engaging manner. The dashboard needed to establish a recognisable style for the brand that could become building blocks for it's growth. Together with our development partner Stipso, we took an 'open-source' approach to the whole project, meaning that anyone can use the work or add to it.
So it only seemed fitting to take this approach with the icon design too. And here they are, or at least some of them! With three sets (tools, weather and foods), these icons will soon be available for anyone to download. We can't wait to see where they end up and what folk do with them.

No need for a basket case like Titus Young.
SLU with its third straight victory of 17 points or more. I really wish Mizzou would schedule the Billikens because I think SLU would beat them, especially at Chaifetz. SLU definitely will be in the dance if they keep playing like this.
Yeah, to me it signals that they are looking mostly at internal or low cost options at WR. They do have some guys with promise, to be sure, but we have heard that so many times before.
The Young signing doesnt bother me so much because he does have some potential, but we still lack that consistent, proven guy at receiver.
No guarantee Amendola is back either.

Explore the ocean with The Magic School Bus game
Growing up in the 80's, one of my absolute favorite cartoons was The Magic School Bus. I was entertained by the ridiculous animations, wacky writing and catchy tunes while actually learning things that I would probably tune out in school. I have not watched that show in many years, but it has continued to educate and entertain in book and cartoon form, with games soon being added to that list courtesy of The Magic School Bus: Oceans on the Nintendo DS.
The game will consist of seven levels, each one featuring a new School Bus transformation and new areas to explore. Each section, once unlocked, will give players a chance to interact with various sea creatures and environments. This is a learning platform, so expect quizzes from Ms. Frizzle based on both the main adventure and mini-games. Overall there will be about 200 ocean interactions with roughly 100 facts and sea creatures each.
I may not buy a copy The Magic School Bus: Oceans immediately when it comes out this Fall, but considering how much I enjoyed the cartoon as a child I hope the game receives a warm welcome from younger audiences and their parents. Who knows, maybe this will be an excellently developed title and even we older audiences will want to own it. There is no harm in being optimistic.

Are these LA Iris?
I've waited 2-3 years for these to bloom. I think that I got them in trades or from friend, so that's no help.
This is a little darker than the pic shows: Fucshia Iris:
Blue #1 in BF Garden:
Blue # 2 in Tie Garden: (Is this the same as Blue #1?)
Light Blue in WS Garden:(I can get a better pic of this today)
And a closeup of the first flower:
Thanks for any help you can give,
Sure looks like the photo by Dennis Kramb! Thanks for the id.
I was trying to find your fuchsia one and came up with these names:
Chuck (one photo at Daves looked more burgandy but all else looks very close)
Delta Honey (at Andiris - petals look fuller)
Freddie Boy (at Daves - styles look too green)
Wheelhorse (at iriscity - styles not as pink)
Red Echo & Red Dazzler - (darker fall cnt stripe)
iris gal -
I checked all the ones you mentioned above. While I was at Iris City Gardens - I saw I. nelsonii. What do you think. The color in my picture is a lot more fuschia than it should be.
BTW: Should I tell you that I'm planning a trip to ICG in the next few weeks. It's not that far form me.
I nelsonii looks dead on to me also.
I don't have any of these species but my beardeds' colors are most affected by weather. Some cultivars more than others.
The biggest color problem is the camera. Should have made that plural. The computer monitor too. Pics look so much better on my desktop monitor :-)
You have some treasures there.

The Perfect Teeth of Prehistoric Humans
Various scholars of prehistory have given us photographs of prehistoric skulls with sets of perfect teeth in place. The degeneration in dental health that has occurred over the many centuries from the hunter-gatherer people to the current American population is truly appalling. Today, an adult with no or few dental problems is a rarity. Are there some dental-care lessons to be found in a study of prehistoric skulls? The following overview of a series of episodes from recent history suggests that the answer is "Yes."
Epidemiology: Misunderstood? Misused?
The plethora of The-Only-Diet Book-You-Will-Ever-Need publications widely available in sales outlets, each with its own version of the "correct" nutritional philosophy, is testimony to the confusion suffered by the general public. The reason is elegantly described by Taubes:
…600,000 articles – along with several tens of thousands of diet books are the noise generated by a dysfunctional research establishment. Because the nutrition research community has failed to establish reliable, unambiguous knowledge about the environmental triggers of obesity and diabetes, it has opened the door to a diversity of opinions on the subject, of hypotheses about cause, cure and prevention, many of which cannot be refuted by the existing evidence.
This indictment is harsh, but deserved. Witness to the fact is the massive human feeding experiment foisted on the American public decades ago. It has caused untold suffering and needless deaths from the chronic inflammatory diseases it created. This nutritional debacle was chronicled by Garry Taubes a decade ago and updated more recently by Nina Teicholz.
A Revisit To The Importance Of Dietary Animal Fat
The importance of dietary animal fat, told in a post in Ketopia, is well understood by nutritional biochemists. The refusal of the government-nutrition cabal to renounce its longstanding proscription against animal fat and, by association, red meat, has seriously compromised the health status of its trusting citizens. This untenable situation strengthens the meaning and potential of a remarkable book that has recently appeared on the literary scene.
Metabolic Energy Control
The metabolic energy control system of the human organism is designed to be fueled by either glucose (carbohydrates) or fatty acids (lipids).1, pp. 160 In a healthy individual, the fuel of choice is largely determined by diet composition and intake schedule. Because food intake is a batch process for most people, the availability of food in the digestive system cycles daily through full, empty, full, and so forth. Thus, for a diet in which the macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids) are consistent and in reasonable proportion, it is customary for the choice of fuel to switch back and forth seamlessly between glucose and fatty acids during the day in response to the alimentation cycles.
A Biochemical Outline of a Cure for Cancer
The term "aerobic glycolysis" is confusing to biochemists because it is inherently contradictory. Aerobic refers to reactions that require oxygen, and anaerobic refers to reactions that take place without the need for oxygen. Glycolysis is a biochemical pathway that does not need or use oxygen, therefore it is anaerobic. The definitions of aerobic and anaerobic shed no light on why glycolysis is described as aerobic.
Red Meat and Miss Information
Red meat has long been an anathema to the nutrition establishment. Not being privy to the thinking of the originators of the so-called heart-healthy diet, we assumed it was because of the association of meat with its burden of saturated fat and cholesterol, two food components condemned as promoters of heart disease.
Prevention of Breast, Prostate, and Colorectal Cancers
Recent biochemical research into the metabolism of the essential fatty acids seems to have uncovered a major underlying cause of breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers. This biochemistry tells us that this cause is the modern American diet and that simple dietary change is capable of preventing these cancers.
Finding the cause of a disease and then removing that cause is called primary disease prevention; the disease never occurs and wellness is continuously maintained. In recent years, this definition has been changed to mean preventive medical care, namely early diagnosis and treatment. This new type of prevention utilizes regular medical checkups aimed at early diagnosis. Thus, when a disease reaches the point where it can be diagnosed, the disease is managed by regular doctor visits, prescription drugs, and surgery. This is not primary prevention.
The Importance of Dietary Animal Fat
In contrast, the modern human uses two classes of food to provide energy for life functions; carbohydrates yield glucose, and fats supply fatty acids. Despite the fact that glucose serves as the usual and ready source of energy for the body, long-term sustained energy depends on fatty acids. Fatty acids are a much more efficient fuel than glucose. They contain twice the energy per unit weight and they are stored more compactly. Under normal conditions, the body uses both fuels alternately depending on time from last meal.
The New Epidemiology
