Richard F. Lee JD '77 died peacefully on January 9, 2012, after living bravely and valiantly with frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) and ALS.

Until his final month, he volunteered at the Unity Shoppe and Central Office of AA, and loved walking long distances sharing hope with everyone he met. He participated in a research project at UCSF so future families will not experience this devastating disease.
Rick was born in San Francisco to Bruce P. Lee and Barbara L. Lee (Pierce), and raised in Millbrae, California. From the time he was a toddler he was the consummate jokester.

Rick was a role model in dealing openly and candidly with the challenges he faced in life. He was proud to have 29 years of sobriety and to have survived prostate cancer. Rick had amazing stamina and always strove to see the best in people. His commitment to enjoying life and helping others will live on in the many people he mentored and loved.

Heloïse Ruth Albritton M.A. '77, beloved mother, grandmother and glorious daughter of God, joined her Lord on Thursday evening, Aug. 14, 2014, in East Meredith. She was surrounded by most of her seven children and devoted caretakers, her home filled with the music and flowers she loved.
Heloïse was born in 1928, in Bangkok, Siam (now Thailand), to Dr. Errett and Mrs. Rietta Albritton. The family returned to America in 1931, where Heloïse became an accomplished student, pianist, active Young Federalist and an original candy striper. She graduated with honors from Swarthmore College in 1950. An intellectual beatnik and liberal thinker, Heloïse enjoyed Greenwich Village where she chatted with Pete Seeger and Jackson Pollock. But, it was James Hartwell Frame - a young man from a small town in Iowa - who captured her heart - over a spilled bowl of punch. They wed in 1951 and were married for 47 years until his death in 1997. They had seven children and more than 20 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Heloïse was a devoted servant of the Lord, personally and professionally. She returned to school in her late 40s and earned a master's degree from Santa Clara University in California. Over 60 years, she opened her home to many seekers in the conviction of God's promise in Deuteronomy that, "He sets the lonely in families."

Heloïse co-launched House of Bread Ministries in California in the 1970s continued her calling in New York City in the 1980s, developing her 12-step Deprivation Neuroses Anonymous group program and then founded The Lazarus Center in Oneonta in 1992, maintaining her practice there until 2009, then choosing to continue her spiritual work from her home office in East Meredith. Heloïse will be greeted in heaven by those who went before her - her husband, James; brother, Rogers; her parents; daughter-in-law, Clara; and great-grandson, Caiden; as well as numerous friends; and spiritual offspring. Early in the evening of her last day, she was able to share in her cherished sunset prayer, saying to the Lord - as she had every day for many years - "Let us usher in a new day, now beginning with rest."

She is survived by her three children, Sharon Castillo, Ross Jernigan and Jay Jernigan; four grandchildren, Dionne Obeso, Tom Jernigan, Melissa Jernigan and Meghan Jernigan; and one great-grandchild, Michael Obeso. Her children were with her when she passed.
Doris was confident, smart and independent and had many careers in her life, starting as a secretary with NASA and ending as CEO and Chairman of Smart Products, Inc., a pump and valve manufacturing company in Morgan Hill, earning a B.S. in mathematics from Santa Clara University along the way. Doris took Smart Products from start-up to a thriving manufacturing business with a worldwide customer base. Each of Doris' children has worked with her in her company at various times. Doris retired as CEO in 2007 and her youngest son, Jay Jernigan, took over as CEO. Doris remained active in the business, serving as Chairman of the Board at the time of her death.
Doris loved to dance and travel. She competed in ball room dancing for a number of years and had many trophies to attest to her skills. She traveled throughout the world and loved to explore new places, especially those with nice shops and boutiques! Doris was also a philanthropist, donating much of her time to charitable causes. She was a Rotarian in Morgan Hill and had many friends there.
Carol Sue Moore MA '77 of Sun Lakes passed away on May 21, 2012, surrounded by family. Carol was born in Colton, Calif., on May 11, 1938 to Virgil and Anna Hawelka Pinson. She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Gerald Moore, and sons, Paul Brown (Tammy), Keith Moore (Jodi), and Michael Moore (Allyson), as well as 10 grandchildren and her sister Betty Pinson Harbin. She was preceded in death by her father and mother. After high school Carol went to beauty school and became a cosmetologist. After her cosmetology career Carol worked in the advertising department of the local newspaper, The Colton Courier. Carol received her AA degree from Gavilan College then continued on to achieve her bachelor's degree in English from San Jose State and furthered her education receiving her teaching credential and master's Degree from Santa Clara University. Carol completed her student teaching at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Calif., and taught there for 28 years. During that time she was a mentor teacher and department chairperson, but her final and most rewarding position was heading the academy as lead teacher. The academy was a program that helped students with academic problems in their middle school years to graduate from high school. After retirement in 1996, Carol and Jerry moved to Sun Lakes, Ariz., where Carol learned to play golf. Carol volunteered at Chandler Regional Hospital in the Immunization Clinic and Volunteer Board. She served as vice president of community outreach, vice president of fund raising and president of the board for three years. Carol was also president of Arizona Association of Healthcare Volunteers. At her church, Carol worked with the Mission's Committee helping to improve the lives of homeless veterans and there she made the congregation aware of the need for special bicycles for the children afflicted with Spina Bifida. She and Jerry purchased a 1956 T Bird and belonged to the Arizona Classic Thunderbird Club. Carol wrote the New Members column for the newsletter and served as secretary, activities chairman and president of the club. Carol found great joy in the ladies she met in Sun Lakes, The Red Hat Ladies and the Gourmet Gals.

Watch an interview with Margarita Balmaceda about energy and state-building in Eastern Europe and about her book "Living the High Life in Minsk".
Energy and State-Building in Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania: Between Domestic Oligarchs and Russian Power
a lecture by
Margarita M. Balmaceda
The editors:
Vojtech Mastny is a Senior Fellow at the National
Security Archive, where he coordinates the Parallel
History Project on NATO and the Warsaw Pact (PHP). He
has been a professor at Columbia University, the Johns
Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, Boston
University, and US Naval War College. His latest book,
The Cold War and Soviet Insecurity, won the American
Historical Association's George L. Beer Prize.
Malcolm Byrne is Director of Research at the
National Security Archive. Serves as Editor of CEU Press
National Security Archive Cold War Reader series, of
which this volume is a part.
"By far the most ambitious and integral project
in the burgeoning field of Cold War history has been
the Parallel History Project on NATO and the Warsaw
Pact, directed by Mastny. This is its early culmination,
a massive volume... Mastny's extended introductory essay
does more than survey the history." - Foreign
"Did the Soviets expect a war? They were
not planning to overrun western Europe so it could fall
under Communist domination, but their plans to initiate
a nuclear strike were pre-emptive. In that hair-trigger
environment, if your information isn't perfect, you
may push the button before it is really justified. It
was surprising to see that the potential for miscalculation
and nuclear disaster was so high". - USNews.com
(extract from the interview
with editor Malcolm Byrne)
"An impressively extensive collection of original
documents and transcripts of the Warsaw Pact from its
beginning in 1955 to its dissolution in 1991. The two
main themes in the documents is that the Pact seemed
to have no intention of a preemptive attack on Western
Europe. The other is that the Pact was not all as united
as outside observers believed. This is a great book
for historians and for anyone else who is interested
in this subject." - Amazon (extract from
a reader's online review)
This is the first book to document, analyze, and interpret
the history of the Warsaw Pact based on the archives
of the alliance itself. As suggested by the title, the
Soviet bloc military machine that held the West in awe
for most of the Cold War does not appear from the inside
as formidable as outsiders often believed, nor were
its strengths and weaknesses the same at different times
in its surprisingly long history, extending for almost
half a century.
The introductory study by Mastny assesses the controversial
origins of the "superfluous" alliance, its
subsequent search for a purpose, its crisis and consolidation
despite congenital weaknesses, as well as its unexpected
Most of the 193 documents included in the book were
top secret and have only recently been obtained from
Eastern European archives by the PHP project. The majority
of the documents were translated specifically for this
volume and have never appeared in English before.
The introductory remarks to individual documents by
co-editor Byrne explain the particular significance
of each item. A chronology of the main events in the
history of the Warsaw Pact, a list of its leading officials,
a selective multilingual bibliography, and an analytical
index add to the importance of a publication that sets
the new standard as a reference work on the subject
and facilitate its use by both students and general

Staff Reporter
KARUR: Demanding that the universally accepted concept of 'polluter pays' be applied to those who generate hazardous sludge at Karur, the affected farmers have demanded immediate remedial measures and a study to work out safe disposal of the sludge.
Reacting to reports about the huge accumulation of sludge generated by the effluent treatment plants at Karur, Mannargudi S. Ranganathan, chairman of the Cauvery Delta Development Studies and general secretary of the Tamil Nadu Cauvery Delta Farmers
A timeframe should be set for clearing the sludge, he said. More importantly, the dyeing and bleaching units, which profited from the degeneration of natural resources, must pay for the safe disposal of the sludge and they should not be allowed to tap public money, Mr. Ranganathan said.
He demanded that the authorities take more effective steps to tackle sludge, especially the pollution of the Noyyal by the effluents from the dyeing and bleaching units at Tirupur.
The effluent-mixed water from Tirupur collected at the Orathupalayam reservoir and polluted the Noyyal. In turn, the Noyyal polluted the Cauvery, the most important source of irrigation for the delta.

Douglas Land Conservancy (DLC) is a non-profit organization made up of concerned citizens. Based in Castle Rock, Colorado since 1987, DLC primarily serves Douglas County. However, recognizing the importance of a regional approach in land conservation DLC has recently broadened its focus to include surrounding counties including Jefferson and Elbert.
In the last year, DLC added 280 acres to the lands currently protected by conservation easements. Today, we are actively preserving over 22,100 acres in Douglas, Jefferson and Elbert Counties. All of this is made possible because of generous support from donors, volunteers and land owners.
With your Support DLC Annually Protects an Average of 789 Acres! We thank and encourage you to continue to give the gift of open space by supporting Douglas Land Conservancy.
Did you know that DLC conserves an average of 65 acres each month in Douglas County alone and more than 789 acres annually?!
Since 1987 DLC has protected 22,100 acres from being developed, in perpetuity. These lands include agricultural lands, public recreation open space, scenic viewscapes, critical wildlife habitat, and wetlands.
Of that 22,100 acres, 11,102 acres are open to the public and provide great trail and recreational experiences for all to enjoy.
10,998 acres are private lands that protect agricultural operations, open space, scenic viewscapes, critical wildlife habitat, and wetlands from ever being developed.
It is DLC's job to ensure that these properties are protected in perpetuity by visiting each property annually. The hardest part of our job begins once a conservation easement is put in place on the land.
We are fortunate to have great community support from individuals and families that make annual charitable contributions to DLC. Many have supported DLC for more than 10 years. You are helping make a difference.
Thank you!
June 28, 2014 Plein Air painting event "Capturing the Beauty of Open Land" created by Tom Netwal
In celebration of our recent accreditation by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, we hope that you enjoy this video showcasing some of the beautiful and diverse lands we help to protect:
Every Wednesday Douglas Land Conservancy encourages the public to share their photos of wildlife observed in Douglas and Elbert counties in Colorado.
These photos help demonstrate the importance of Douglas Land Conservancy's efforts to protect wildlife habitat in our region of Colorado.
A special thanks goes out to DLC volunteer and photographer, Tom Netwal who created this great video looking back at all of the 2014 Wildlife Wednesday winners.

Celestial Navigation? Forget it!
Although I do not get to sail as often as I would like (especially during the last 6 years) as I am curently driving an 18-wheeler around the country. I still keep up with my CN skills by periodically using a sextant I picked up in a pawn shop over 25 years ago.
Navigation has gotten far easier over the years but it is not quite idiot-proof yet. GPS''s are great and wonderful tools, but batteries go bad electronics do break and if you are in the middle of the Atlantic or Pacific when things go South it is nice to know that you can figure out where you are.
When I eventually do get to follow my dream of circumnavigation you can bet that I will have my old sextant on board and another plastic one in my ditch-kit because one never knows when Murphy may try and board.

The Power to Create.Canon is proud to present the highly anticipated EOS 5D Mark III. With supercharged EOS performance and stunning full frame, high-resolution image capture, the EOS 5D Mark III is designed to perform. Special optical technologies like the 61-Point High Density Reticular AF and an extended ISO range of 100-25600 (expandable to 50 (L), 51200 (H1) and 102400 (H2) make the EOS 5D Mark III ideal for shooting weddings in the studio or out in the field, and great for still photography. Advanced professional-level high definition video capabilities (that includes a host of industry-standard recording protocols and enhanced performance) make it possible to capture beautiful cinematic movies in EOS HD quality. A newly designed 22.3 Megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS sensor, Canon DIGIC 5+ Image Processor, and shooting performance up to 6.0 fps provide exceptional clarity and sharpness, even when capturing rapidly-unfolding scenes. Additional technological advancements include an Intelligent Viewfinder, Canon's advanced iFCL metering system, High Dynamic Range (HDR), and Multiple Exposure mode — all of which that help make the EOS 5D Mark III the perfect multimedia tool.
Brilliant Sensor, Supercharged Processors. The EOS 5D Mark III features a newly developed Canon full-frame 22.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor that's designed from the ground up to create high resolution, perfectly detailed images with unprecedented speed and clarity. A full 24 x 36mm, the sensor captures 5784 x 3861 large individual 6.25 µm pixels and has a much-improved S/N ratio resulting in better images from the start. A new photodiode structure with an increased photoelectric conversion rate increases the sensor's sensitivity by approximately 2 stops over previous models, meaning higher ISOs with the lowest noise of any EOS digital camera. And a 2-line 8-channel simultaneous signal readout means speeds of up to 6.0 fps (RAW + JPEG) are possible!

Rooney will submit a formal, written transfer request after Manchester United rejected a 30 million pound offer from the Blues.
Manchester: Wayne Rooney will submit a formal, written transfer request after Manchester United refused to sanction his move to Chelsea following the second bid submitted by the Blues.
United earlier in the month had rejected a bid of 23 million pounds, plus 2.5m pounds in additional clauses.
Manchester United spokesman on Monday said, "A bid was received on Sunday and was immediately rejected. Our position remains that he is not for sale."
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, who is in the US for the International Champions Cup, is so desperate to make the move happen that Chelsea secretary Dave Barnard has stayed in London as part of their negotiating team.
Rooney re-iterated his determination to quit Old Trafford during crunch talks with new United manager David Moyes over the weekend.
United's Premier League clash with Chelsea on August 26 is a delicate issue ahead of his potential transfer, but Rooney's heart is set on the move and he has told team-mates he does not want to play abroad.
He played 45 minutes for United in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Real Betis at the weekend and has pledged to fulfil his contractual obligations, which means he is expected to play in Tuesday's friendly against Swedish club AIK in Stockholm.
Rooney is citing irreconcilable differences with the club, relating to comments made by Sir Alex Ferguson - now a United director - when he quit in May. Ferguson revealed to the United crowd that Rooney wanted to leave.
The striker is now prepared to put his wishes in writing before Rio Ferdinand's testimonial against Sevilla on Friday.
They are unlikely to be as forgiving as they were in 2010, when he questioned the club's ambitions before signing a new contract.
Chelsea are ready to match Rooney's £240,000-a-week wages and will offer him a five-year deal.

Youthful Rams take to court
First-year Pleasant Ridge girls' basketball coach Brad Shelton knew he had his work cut out for him when he inherited a team that won just seven games a year ago.
Sure enough, reviving the Rams' program hasn't been easy. They are just 2-6 overall (0-1 Delaware Valley League) and enter the Tonganoxie Invitational Tournament on a three-game losing streak with losses to Perry-Lecompton, Troy and Silver Lake.
Offense has been the Rams' No. 1 problem this season. They allow just 47 points per game on average, but by scoring just 40 points per game on offense they haven't given themselves many chances to win. Pleasant Ridge's top showing was a 47-point performance in a three-point victory against Jefferson County North, if that's any indication of how much of an uphill battle the Rams has fought. They scored 46 points in their one-point loss to Perry-Lecompton.
Fortunately for Shelton, his squad is very young. He has just three seniors -- Allison Howard, Shelby Lorenzo and Megan Mance -- on the roster, so plenty of sophomores and juniors are seeing varsity action, including juniors Michaela Forge, Ashley Meinert, Rosie Amos, Abby Trentham and sophomores Whitney Ransom, Kysa Powers, Anamarie Stafford, Stephanie Hattok, Robin Grenier and Sarah Johnson.
The Rams are looking for a confidence boost and a few victories at the Tonganoxie Invitational, but that could be tough to come by. They open with Lansing -- a squad that has won four of its last five games -- and then will play Metro Academy or have a rematch with Silver Lake.
SLHS drilled Pleasant Ridge, 52-38, on Saturday in a contest that never was close. The Rams trailed 28-17 at halftime and were behind by 15 after three quarters. Stafford led the way with a team-high 12 points in the loss, while Howard added 10 and Meinert scored nine

Fishing can be compared to many things. It can be compared to parenthood because it requires extensive patience and skill with holding your breath – it can be compared to fishing for complements, because both require the right bait, and the right line, or to ballet because both require grace and impeccable timing. Accept the fact that there's nothing quite like fly fishing and save up to 60% on a guided fly-fishing experience for one or two people on the Cape streams with Fly Talk.
- Pay R899 for one person, valued at R1800
- Pay R1439 for two people, valued at R3600
With all the season hustle-and-bustle of tinselling trees, traipsing through shopping malls and gift-wrapping sprees, sometimes it can be good to get out of the house for a while and out into the great outdoors. If the great outdoors just happens to the banks of Eikendal Dam on the wine estate of the same name, all the better. Stocked to bursting with rainbow and brown trout and all the other popular angling species, the Eikendal Dam provides a scenic and exciting location for catching your next release. With all the equipment you need, and transport to and fro, you'll be well kitted out for a laid-back day on the water's edge.
Of course, if you know as much about fly fishing as most people know about talking Klingon, your guide – a former South African champion – will introduce you to the finer arts of casting, equipment setup and other vital bits of trade info. Once you've been introduced to the basics of knot-tying, casting and gotten familiar with fly and fish as well as rod and line, cast your line and see if you can reel in a winner. Enjoy a day out on the dam with nothing but your lure, your guide and the fresh air to keep you company, or take along a buddy or beau and swap stories about the fish (or gal) that got away while you wait for one of the jumpers to bite.Fishy Fact: A little bald doctor found a fly-fishing rod on the internet which he used as a hook for reaching items on his highest shelves. This worked for him until the rod bent whilst he was trying to take down his twenty-disc collection of love-songs.

Victor Chandler Chase added to Cheltenham card
Last Updated: 18/01/13 5:01pm
Sprinter Sacre: Set to divert to Cheltenham
Cheltenham's Festival Trials day is to feature the Victor Chandler Chase after the two-mile showpiece was added to the programme as a result of the abandonment of Saturday's meeting at Ascot.
Following preparatory discussions throughout the week between the British Horseracing Authority, Ascot racecourse, BetVictor and Jockey Club Racecourses, agreement was reached on Friday to transfer the contest across and produce a glittering eight-race card at Cheltenham.
The Horserace Betting Levy Board (HBLB) is to contribute £40,000 and Victor Chandler will provide £20,000 to the race bringing the total prize fund to £70,000.
Sprinter Sacre's trainer Nicky Henderson welcomed the move, saying: "I'm pleased the Victor Chandler has moved to Cheltenham as he needs to run, and they are saying that hopefully the Haydock race [Champion Hurdle Trial] will be saved as well.
"All the horses cantered this morning, the snow wasn't too heavy at the time but it's still coming down and there's more about now.
"I'll have to do a pitch inspection for the rest of the weekend."
Simon Claisse, clerk of the course at Cheltenham Racecourse, said: "It is obviously disappointing that as a result of the bad weather Ascot has been forced to abandon Saturday's fixture.
"However, we are pleased that the Victor Chandler Chase has been rescheduled to take place on Festival Trials Day at Cheltenham on January 26th.
"The race will make a great addition to an already extremely strong card and it is a testament to the hard work of everyone involved that the race has been rearranged promptly to safeguard this important race. We would like to thank Victor Chandler and the Levy Board in particular for their support."

Hartford - The deadly force of a gun should be treated like the deadly force of a car, said state Sen. Beth Bye, D-Hartford, as she recalled hearing a parent speaking last month at a Newtown public hearing.
That is part of the reason, Bye told members of the legislature's Insurance and Real Estate Committee Tuesday, that she worked on a bill to require firearms owners to purchase personal liability and self-defense insurance.
"I think that there are community risks affiliated with having a gun, just like there are community risks affiliated with driving a car, which can be a deadly vehicle," she said.
But for the most part, Bye was on her own at Tuesday's hearing before the committee. The majority of people who testified said driving a car was a privilege, whereas owning a gun was a right under the Constitution. They also said requiring insurance would mean law-abiding citizens had to pay more.
A representative for the insurance industry said accidents due to firearms are already covered under homeowner's or renter's insurance. The insurance industry would not cover intentional, willful or criminal acts, said Susan Giacalone, counsel for the Insurance Association of Connecticut.
According to the bill, someone would need to obtain self-defense insurance to provide coverage for civil and criminal defense costs in the event the person used a firearm in self-defense. If gun owners did not maintain this insurance, according to the bill, they would be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
"To me, that is one of the most egregious parts of this bill," said state Rep. Rob Sampson, R-Wolcott. "That we are going to require people to have insurance for their actions in self-defense."
Sampson said he has previously introduced legislation to expand Connecticut's "castle doctrine," which permits someone to use reasonable force, including deadly force, to defend property, themselves or another person.
Bye said if the committee decided to strip the self-defense part of the bill, she would understand.
"My big, broad-based goal for the chairs to understand is that we look seriously at requiring gun owners to have insurance because … we know that they cause injury," she said.
People are dying from guns, and there are costs associated with these deaths, she said. Insurance companies could determine if people were a high risk, she suggested. For example, if they had incidents of abuse in the home, they would pay higher insurance rates, Bye said.
If the state were to mandate insurance for intentional or criminal acts, the government would have to provide coverage because the insurance companies would not take those high-risk people, Giacalone said. The state would end up doing more harm to the liability landscape of Connecticut, she said.
John Hohenwarter, state liaison for the National Rife Association, said the NRA does offer insurance products but that insurance companies do the underwriting.
Scott Ennis of New London, founder of Disabled Americans for Firearms Rights, said members of his organization were "seriously concerned" about the liability insurance requirement.
"This bill will cause an unjust financial burden on thousands of disabled residents wanting to protect themselves by the ability of their Second Amendment right," Ennis said.
The police cannot be everywhere protecting everyone all the time, he said. In this tough economy, many people are living on fixed incomes, and adding another financial burden to people who are protecting themselves is extremely discriminatory, Ennis said.
David Godbout of East Lyme said he was opposed to the bill because its primary goal is registration.
"And the ultimate goal, I think, is confiscation," Godbout said.
Jake McGuigan, director of government relations for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, said he was also concerned with mandating this type of insurance because insurance companies could force mandates and safety standards and tell gun owners what they can own.
Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen representative James Crook said the bill raised many questions.
"What happens if I am unable to purchase coverage?" he said. "What happens to those who can't afford insurance? How will it be enforced?"
These questions need to be answered before there is any further consideration of the bill, he said.

The Standard Hotel Hollywood
8300 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, CA, USA
Neighborhood: West Hollywood
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The Standard Hollywood is the motel of your dreams. Sixties modernist, blinding white, with Astro-Turf surrounding the obligatory swimming pool. And the neighborhood — not some desert highway but the Sunset Strip, site of many a debauch, from Tallulah Bankhead's Twenties exhibitionism to the heavy-metal excesses of the Eighties and beyond.
From the upside-down sign, the funky 24-hour coffee shop, to the label on the thermostat marked BLOW HARDER, it's clear that the Standard is relentless in its pursuit of insouciant LA cool, with a generous helping of irony: Warhol print curtains, shag carpets on ceilings as well as floors, minibars full of lowbrow candies and house-brand condoms. And it's not all kitsch — the Standard is modern and comfortable enough where it really counts, with orthopedic mattresses on the beds and nods to modern cooking even in the intentionally retro coffee-shop restaurant.
In the end it's worth stressing that it's more motel than hotel. There's very little that's luxurious about it, and stylish though it may be, it could use a coat of fresh paint here and there. If it's white-glove luxury you're after then there's plenty of that available elsewhere in town — the Standard is for guests who will trade the occasional hitch in function or service for a vibrant nightlife and a scene that's unrelentingly hip. And if that last clause is enough to give you a bit of a migraine, you know what to do…

Might not be a bad idea to let prospective visitors know that rooms on the 2nd floor throb with bass from the bar downstairs until at least 2 a.m. I had earplugs with me so it wasn't a problem, but unless you're up late every night it might be an issue. Also, wireless internet in the room barely worked. Signal was only intermittently strong enough, and then only right by the door.
Positives: Comfy bed. I really liked having a balcony in my room. Great view (on opposite side of building from Sunset Blvd.) Very friendly staff. Great breakfast in the diner.

hello, i just want you to know that you guys have a very nice hote with great atmosphere. there is however a small issue that i encountered. i was staying on the second floor and unfortunately i was able to hear the people above me while they walked about in their room. i believe the floor boards are older therefore a screching sound was emited when people walked. i was unable to sleep afetr 8am because the noise is considerable loud.

This hotel sounded much much better than what it really is. It looks tremendously old and not at all with the level of the hotels recommended by Tablet Hotels all over the world. It just doesn't deserve to be at TH's site. The people at the hotel think that just because of its location everything else comes in automatic and this is just not true.

The View from the World's Last Fotoplastikon
Now showing: images of Warsaw's Jewish Ghetto
Inside a small, squat building in Warsaw, past a courtyard populated by stores selling gingerbread houses and other folksy trinkets, across the street from the mall and its Starbucks, lies the world last Fotoplastikon. The cinema's elegant older uncle, this wooden device, wildly popular late in the 19th century and early in the 20th, is a large drum that spins automatically, allowing the patrons looking in through individual eyepieces to gawk at three-dimensional photos of faraway places. The patrons who crowded the small room in the 1930s would have seen snapshots of Polynesia and other exotic shores; the patrons who come there this month can see photos taken just a few blocks away, in the Jewish Ghetto, between 1940 and 1943.
As Warsaw Ghetto photographs go, those on display at the Fotoplastikon are far from the most devastating specimens. For the most part, the 48 pictures, revolving each 30 seconds or so, portray ordinary life and are thick with merchants and strolling families and other bits of the mundane. But as 1940 gives way to 1941, 1942, and 1943, they grow increasingly more haunting. Because of the machine's antiquated build, the three-dimensional effect is far from perfect, and when photos of people give way to photos of rubble, the focus blurs and the field of vision is filled with bricks and shards of glass that seem to be suspended in midair. The effect is ghostly: the earth literally seems to drop from underneath the homes and the shops and the streets that were once dense with the world's most vibrant Jewish community. The photos, then, have more than three dimensions, defying not only space but also time.

Teacher Laptop Initiative Launch in the Western Cape
Saturday, October 30th, 2010 | laptops
Teachers thronged to the Cape Teaching and Leadership Institute in Kuilsriver today for the long awaited launch of the Teacher Laptop Initiative.
Two and a half years after the promise of laptops for teachers was first made, it has now become a reality for some teachers. An unexpected large crowd pitched up for the event.
Different hardware vendors displayed their products and distributed information to prospective buyers.
300 copies of the book Laptops for Teachers, sponsored by one of the suppliers, were given away to teachers. Many were disappointed when stocks ran out.
The interest in laptops displayed by teachers is heart-warming – it bodes well for e-learning in the Western Cape.
For more pictures of the event, see the Afrikaans version of this posting.

Kobus: An inspired writer of old once penned this thought down : "to the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion [to them] is wearisome to the flesh."
Your valiant contribution to the integration of technology into the education processes is truly and significantly commendable. Well done with this book !
Sunday, 31 October, 2010
Unfortunately I am still not convinced about the TLI. The financial implications does not make sense to me. Maybe somebody can convince me otherwise. I suppose I should think further than money…but it's hard to.
Sterkte! to those who will be going for the deal. I will still help teachers even though I have a different take on this thing. I hope in some way this initiative proves me wrong and succeeds (teachers buy laptops which are used frequently).
Kobus, your book gives clear guidance on many of the questions asked concerning laptops.
Monday, 1 November, 2010
It is so good that there is a book alongside the possibility of receiving a laptop. The e-learning journey always requires that we stop and read so that we can begin moving forward confidently once again. The fact that teachers have an option to purchase a laptop along with receiving some cost reduction can only be a positive move. Let's continue to get behind the teachers and support them as they develop a deeper and richer understanding of the value of this technology for learning.

The students and staff of the Trio World School extended their hearts a little farther this Valentine's Day. More specifically, the school community was thinking of the people of Haiti and their dire state due to the earthquake on January 12, which affected their country to a great extent.
Although these people are thousands of kilometres from Bangalore, the community service extra-curricular group was not discouraged. Realising Trio's ability to help despite odds, they sold candy-grams and roses in the week leading to Valentine's Day and even held a bake sale on the day of the celebrations. These efforts helped the school raise nearly Rs15,000 towards the Haitian relief fund.
However, the fundraising efforts haven't stopped at that. Each Trio student is currently raising funds in their home communities by selling tickets. The intention of these fundraising tickets is not only to collect additional donations but also spread awareness on the calamity that has befallen Haiti.
A non-uniform day was also held on February 19, when students were allowed to come dressed in casual clothing if they contributed Rs20 to the cause. And as donations continue to pour in, the students and staffers at the Trio World School are ensuring that a helping hand is lent to Haiti, halfway across the world.
By working on local, national and global community service projects, Trio hopes to connect with everybody – thereby supporting its motto of being Truly International.
If you are interested in contributing to the cause, contact Meira Yan at 080-40611222
