As one of the largest and most dynamic Business Schools in Western Australia, we offer undergraduate, postgraduate and research business degrees across a wide range of areas.
At ECU, we teach business differently to other universities. We really focus on your employability skills through all of our Business courses.
Work placements, internships and our successful Business Edge program play an important part in helping you enter the world of business.
So whether you're an aspiring accountant, a future marketing professional, or a potential hospitality or tourism dynamo, we'll ensure you get off to a great start.
ECU Business students have plenty of opportunities available to them to gain knowledge and skills in an industry setting.
Some of the practical experiences students have recently undertaken included placements at the Commonwealth Bank, MacMahon, Rio Tinto, Ramsay Health Care, Joondalup Resort, Bankwest, Crowne Plaza, Nexia, Community Vision, BDO and the City of Joondalup.
Many of our students secure ongoing positions after completing work experience units and internships, so it can be a great way to kick‑start your career.
We were the first university in Australia to teach employability skills in a specially-designed program we call Business Edge.
The program covers ten valuable generic skills that are core to the Bachelor of Business degree, including teamwork, leadership, problem-solving and critical thinking.
These skills will help you graduate job-ready, and with a competitive edge over graduates from other universities.
With the support of an ECU scholarship, we can help you realise your ambitions by improving your financial situation and enabling you to successfully complete your course.
At ECU we understand that everyone is different.
Different work arrangements, different family responsibilities, different locations or different learning styles.
That's why we offer the flexibility of studying many of our courses online.
Now you can study where you want, when you want.
Balance your study with family and work commitments. Or advance your career without leaving the workplace.
And just because you're not on campus doesn't mean we'll forget you. Online students get our full support too.
Are you passionate about a particular area or field of work?
Have you just completed a degree and think you'd like to go onto postgraduate study?
Maybe you've been working as a professional and you'd like to gain a competitive advantage or change career direction?
Whatever your reason or background, we offer a wide range of postgraduate courses at ECU.
And because we understand that your life is already busy, we offer the flexibility and convenience of part-time and online study options too.
With our Business degrees you have a world of possibility at your fingertips.
You could pursue a career in traditionally popular areas like accounting, marketing and human resource management, or in growing areas like sport or hotel management.
Our courses have been developed in consultation with industry and are well-regarded in the business world. For example, our Accounting major is accredited by CPA Australia, the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia and Institute of Public Accountants.
And because we like to be flexible, you can choose between completing your undergraduate or postgraduate business studies online, or by attending one of our three campuses.
To help you choose a career direction, we've grouped similar fields of work into 12 study areas across ECU – Business is one of those study areas.
Within each study area you can choose a degree, for example a Bachelor of Business or a Bachelor of Sport, Recreation and Event Management.
For some degrees, you can choose a speciality, or major, like Accounting, Marketing or Human Resource Management.
Postgraduate degrees are also available through coursework or research. For example, you can study our Master of Business by Research degree or a Master of Management Information Systems (by Coursework).
There is a growing demand in high-technology or creative industries for knowledge and professional skills in business and management.
We offer a range of double degree options to meet this demand:
Our Business courses connect you with all kinds of hands-on opportunities so you get lots of practice before hitting the workforce.
This includes field trips, case studies, study tours, internships, work placements, competitions and networking events. Some of these opportunities can directly lead you to employment when you graduate.
Located on both our Mount Lawley and Joondalup campuses, the PGSB offers postgraduate business courses in a purpose-built environment suitable for students already in the workforce.
Courses include accounting, finance, management, marketing, human resources, sport management, leadership, and urban and regional planning.

Our Business students talk about their courses, including the industry practice elements they've undertaken and what they hope to do when they graduate. They also explain why they chose ECU over other universities in Western Australia.
Share this video playlist with your friends:
In the latest Good Universities Guide, our graduates gave ECU a 5-star rating for their overall satisfaction, the quality of our teaching and for the generic skills they developed during their studies.
We've now achieved 5-star ratings for the past six years.
So when you graduate with a Business degree at ECU, you can expect to be better prepared than most to enter the workforce.

ECU Business student, Justin Russell talks about his experience.
"My biggest career achievement so far has been working at the 2012 London Olympics."
"I had an amazing study experience at ECU. The facilities were fantastic and were constantly being upgraded to ensure we had access to the latest technology. The lecturers were excellent – I am still in touch with many of them now as contacts within the industry. The many individual and group assignments and work placements gave me skills that I was able to use once I started a full-time job.
My biggest career achievement so far has been working at the 2012 London Olympics. While working at Football West as the Manager – Junior Football, I was selected for the role of City Operations Manager at Wembley Stadium. It was a surreal experience to manage a crowd of 100,000 football fans at Wembley Stadium. I gained access into ECU via a pathway from West Coast TAFE, and have never looked back."
Chris Beech
Sports Management graduate
"I am now working as an Accountant at a highly reputable property development firm."
"I chose ECU due to its flexibility with a range of campuses and flexible study options and timetables, as well as the greater focus on hands-on learning experience with the Business Edge units. In fact these were the factors that led to my decision to switch from UWA to ECU. All of my lecturers were easy to get along with and extremely helpful.
My greatest achievement so far has been completing a full time study load while also working full time – and this definitely would not have been possible without ECU's flexibility and support. I am now working as an Accountant at a highly reputable property development firm, and am putting into practice many of the skills learnt at uni."
Jessica Gill
Bachelor of Business graduate

Monteserrat is a mountain (1235 meters high), which lies some 60 kilometers to the northwest of Barcelona. The name Mont serrat means jagged peaks/mountains according to the shape that characterizes this mountain. The Benedictine Monastery of Montserrat and the Basilica are the most important religious places in Catalonia and one of the most significant ones in Spain. The Basilica is the home to La Monereta (Black Madonna), which is the patron saint of Catalonia. Another attraction of the monastery is the boys' choir, which was established in the 13th century.
Port Aventuras is situated near to Terragona. It is one of the biggest theme parks in Europe. The park consists of five different worlds: China, Far West, Mexico, Polynesia and Mediterranean. Each world is characterized by wide range of attractions.
The town is the birthplace of Salvator Dalí. He established his own museum there: Teatro-Museo Dalí in 1974. The museum is the second most frequently visited museum in Spain (after Museo del Prado in Madrid). It is dedicated to Dalí's surrealist paintings.
In the 60s of the 20th century, this town was called "the Spanish St. Tropez" mainly because many people were attracted by its unspoiled bay and countryside. Among them there was: Salvador Dalí who used to spend there summer holidays and then moved to nearby Port Lligat, because the town's landscape was a source of inspiration for him.

Foodie Tuesday: It's Vegan Snack Time! DIY Carrot Chips
I haven't been in a kitchen for over a month (thank you, dorm life), so when I went home this weekend, I was jonesing for some quality time with the oven. I had recently discovered on Pinterest (where else?) a recipe for carrot chips, and I figured this was the perfect opportunity to try it. I'm a huge snacker, but I always like to make sure that my snacks are heathy, filling, and, of course, tasty. Word on the boards (that's a stupid Pinterest joke) was that these carrot chips tasted like sweet potato fries, so I had to give them a try. Continue reading

People say I sound muffled, that I'm in a tunnel or there's an echo.
Last Updated: 10/25/2012 7:47 pm
We have found that a small number of people when calling someone who has a LifeProof case on their iPhone have sometimes had difficulty hearing the LifeProof'd talker.
The microphone has a special thin vent that keeps the water out but allows sound to pass. This normally works perfectly and allows crystal clear calls. However, in some instances, air trapped inside the case causes a positive pressure, which can puff the vent outwards, stretching it out to where it touches the little protective grills in the bottom of the case. Sometimes the vent then rests against these grills after being stretched to that position and then cannot vibrate correctly to transmit the sound to the iPhone microphone – causing a distant, thin, tunnel kind of voice to be heard on the other end of a call.
Simple Fix
- Look at the LifeProof front-on as you would when you are about to start an app. The microphone port is the hole on the bottom of the case to the lower left of the home button and left of the charge port.
- Blow hard into the microphone for about 3 to 4 seconds. The sufficient effort required is akin to blowing a candle out. You could also pretend you were blowing up a balloon by sealing your lips over the hole and then blowing.
This air pressure will push the vent away from the protective grills and liberate your iPhone to crystal clear sound on video recording and phone calls again. You may (or may not) need to do this from time to time if large air pressure changes cause the vent to flex and stick to the protective grill again.
Also, remember to always thoroughly shake water out of the vent area after being submerged because trapped water in the protective grill will also weaken the sound.If this doesn't fix the problem, contact LifeProof Customer Support.

Controlled Parking Zones and Resident Parking Schemes
Controlled Parking Zones
A downloadable map of controlled parking zones is available below.
A controlled parking zone (CPZ) is an area where all on street parking is controlled. When you enter a zone there are entry signs to tell you what restrictions apply within it. Parking is only allowed in parking bays and yellow line restrictions apply everywhere else.
Motorists who want to park for a short time in a CPZ can use the pay and display bays. Pay and display bays can be used by motorcyclists, but there are also various on street parking bays for motorcycles which are free of charge. Within a CPZ permit holders will be able to park in designated permit bays during the hours of operation.
Controlled Parking Zones in the city centre:
- Inner Zone
- Outer Zone
- Gun Quarter
- Jewellery Quarter
Other Controlled Parking Zones:
- Humphrey Middlemore Drive, Selly Oak.
- Chamberlain Gardens
Parking Charges
A list of of on-street parking charges and charging hours can be downloaded from the bottom of this page.
Residents Parking Schemes
A Residents' Parking Scheme does not need zone entry signs and the restrictions would be individually signed. Residents Parking Schemes are normally implemented where a parking problem is specific to a few roads. As with CPZs, only permit holders will be able to park within designated bays on the roads covered by the scheme during the hours of operation.
Currently in Birmingham the following schemes have been implemented:
- King Edward Road, Moseley
- Tudor Road, Lyndon Road and Park Road, Sutton Coldfield
- Boswell Road, Sutton Coldfield
- Station Road, Kings Norton
- Aston Match Day parking
Details of on street parking charges can be found at www.birmingham.gov.uk/streetparking

You can't go wrong with neutrals! First, the bad… I was disappointed to see a handful of matte shades but shimmery ones are more my type anyways. I LOVE NEUTRALS! My absolute favorites that I keep reaching for are: Stubborn (shimmery peach), Stand-offish (frosty peach), Sulty (matte tan – favorite!), Sophisticated (warm brownie shade with gold shimmer), and Schitzo (shimmery tan). I hardly ever use the super light shades except in cases where I decide to highlight or the super dark shades except in cases that I want to contour for a night out dramatic look. I still use the Shady Lady Vol 1 & 2 more than this palette.

Shelvey left Liverpool for Swansea in the summer and he scored a fine goal to give his new club the lead inside the opening two minutes.
However, just two minutes later, his blind backpass presented Daniel Sturridge with the chance to equalise before another misplaced pass gave Victor Moses the opportunity to put Liverpool in front.
The England international then set up Michu's second-half equaliser and Swansea boss Laudrup was happy with the way Shelvey responded to his first-half errors.
"When you do that, you go from heaven to hell in a couple of minutes after scoring a goal in a very important game for you after two minutes," Laudrup told Sky Sports. "Then you give away a goal to the opponent, then another one when the ball is lost.
"But you have to remember that he is only 21 years old and I said to him 'come on, we have 45 more minutes, you have to learn from this, you have to pull yourself together'.
"I think he did great and I think after a second half like this, and we only talk about him, he will come out a lot stronger from this and I think his reaction to the first half in the second half was excellent."
Laudrup was also pleased with the overall display of his team after half-time, commenting: "I think it was a great performance in the second half after a very, very difficult first half.
"We started great and it was perfect with the goal after a couple of minutes, but then unfortunately we gave away two goals, and even some easy balls we lost in midfield.
"We had to perform better in the second half and I really think the boys did an excellent job, and we had a very, very good second-half performance and we got the equaliser."

Click Chick: Trump calls election a 'travesty,' Jackson jubilant
As to be expected, plenty of TV personalities and actors are pleased with the outcome of the election as most in Tinsel Town back the Dems. That cannot be said of NBC's billionaire reality show star Donald Trump who tweeted: "This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!" He also is demanding a march on Washington, according to the Washington Post. Well, he's right about one thing. We aren't a direct democracy. We are a representative republic. Samuel L. Jackson, known for his interestingly direct tweets, was jubliant and classic Jackson. He had a message for those who were against Obama's re-election. His words: "CHOKE MUTHAPUBLICANZ! CHOKE!!" Stay classy, fellas.
Election Tweets: President Obama's victory tweet featuring him hugging the first lady became the most retweeted ever. But who else was getting tweeted about? ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer. Some joked that she may have been celebrating the election a little bit early. Her name started trending with unflattering posts. Some said she appeared tipsy. Some said hammered. I thought the woman was just tired. Remember, she's the main news anchor covering the final sprint of a presidential election. Gawker posted video of Sawyer that they say shows whatever issues they think she was having.
Obama's Anger Translator Rejoices: The TV show Key & Peele regularly feature a skit of President Obama being cool and his anger translator Luther being not so cool. They wasted no time making a video about Obama's re-election:
Bonus: My buddies at RTM are addicted to this skit. This will make you laugh if you're tire of all the election/post election stuff.
Casting News: They're making a movie called "Saving Mr. Banks." The film, according to TotalFilm is about the troubled production of "Mary Poppins." And who's been spotted around Disneyland playing Walt Disney? Tom Hanks. Click the above link and see if you think he looks like the entertainment titan.
Rockettes Ready: Yes, it's beginning to feel a lot like the holidays. Why? Well aside from the fact that it will be in the 50s most of the weekend. The Radio City Musical Rockettes begin their traditional Christmas Spectacular shows. This will be the shows 85th year, but they've updated it by adding digital projections on LED screens and a 3-D section that requires special glasses.
More Star Wars News: It seems that Matthew Vaughn, the director behind "Kick A*^," "Layer Cake" and "X-Men: First Class" is in talks to direct Star Wars Episode 7, according to IndieWire.
More Troubles for Troubled Actress: Seems like Lindsay Lohan's troubles have returned. According to TMZ, the actress could be facing more charges for lying to police. This is related to an accident in Los Angeles in which she allegedly claimed she wasn't driving. Apparently, witnesses had a different version of events.
Daily Diva Report: Jennifer Lopez who has starred in the hit "Maid in Manhattan" in which she played a maid is mad. She's denying reports that she had a hotel maid fired after said maid asked for an autograph, according E!Online. Tabloids called the hotel, and managers did say the woman was terminated for disturbing the privacy of the actress singer. Lopez said the first she heard of this was on Twitter.

Variety of sounds, tastes in store for New Year's revelers
Revelers looking to ring in the new year in Lee County will be in for a treat if they're fans of good, old-fashioned Americana music.
There will be a country band at the Sanford Elks Lodge, a bluegrass band at Temple Theatre, and a blues and funk band at The Flame Steak House, all welcoming 2013 with their distinctive sounds.
"Traditionally, its a good night for people to get out who don't get out a lot the rest of the year," Steve Brewer, owner of The Flame, said of New Year's Eve.
Entertainment for the night will include a DJ playing dance and top-40 hits after midnight, with the FOG Blues Band kicking things off at 9:30 p.m. Admission is free for dinner guests and $5 for everyone else and includes a champagne toast, and the party will be 21-plus after 9:30.
Temple Theatre will host local roots music maestros The Bluegrass Experience for the 14th time in just about as many years, and the $15 tickets can be bought online at www.templeshows.com or by visiting or calling either the Temple Theatre Box Office or Red Gate Art, Antiques and Music in Pittsboro at 107 Hillsboro St. Seats are first-come, first-served, at the show, which will last from 8-11 p.m.
"Well, it's usually a lot of fun," said band guitarist and radio host Tommy Edwards. "It's a pretty relaxed atmosphere, and because it's New Year's Eve, people are pretty jolly."
He said the show will offer a mix of original and traditional material, as well as a combination of instrumental numbers and singers, including Temple Theatre Artistic Director Peggy Taphorn and Jimmy Cameron, who toured with Grammy-winning singer and banjo picker Ralph Stanley for years.
Sanford man Keith Thomas will also be singing and playing several instruments, according to a news release about the event that promises appearances from several other musicians and at least one award-winning 13-year-old fiddler. Edwards said Friday he was also working on getting another guitarist — who backed up the late bluegrass legend Doc Watson for several decades — to come out and play as well.
At the Elks Lodge, Tim Hair and the AKM Band will lasso in the new year with their seven-member country and western band starting at 8:30 p.m. Tickets can be bought ahead of time for $15 at the Elks Lodge clubroom or over the phone at (919) 353-5446. They can also be bought at the door for $20. There will also be a cash bar.
Outside of Lee County, there is a stronger focus on food instead of music, although there will be plenty of live shows to be found. Chatham County has a host of opportunities, mostly in Pittsboro, and there will also be a show in Moncure at unWINEd by Rhonda Robichaux, whose band was recently named the top blues band in the Triangle. Admission is free for the show, which starts at 9 p.m. at 237 Center Grove Church Road in Moncure, although tips are strongly encouraged.
There will be a four-course tasting offered at Pittsboro's Oakleaf restaurant, with both meaty and vegetarian offerings. At $75 per person ($105 to include wine pairings), participants will be served dishes such as as prime beef, lobster, mussels, truffles and foie gras. Reservations can be made online at http://oakleafnc.com/events or by phone at (919) 533-6303.
Elsewhere in Pittsboro, the Roadhouse is throwing a party with ZamBamBooGee, a jazz/funk band that claims to like to make people dance. The show, which will last from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., costs $15 and includes the band, a champagne toast and hors d'ouevres. There will also be a cash bar.
A costumed Steampunk Masquerade Ball will be held at Davenport and Winkleperry, where hosts will be playing records of "jazz, blues, swing, dark cabaret, gypsy punk and dance music from times gone by or times that never were." Admission is $5 with a mask or $10 without one, 18-plus, and will start at 9 p.m. Steampunk-themed attire is encouraged, but not required.
In between Pittsboro and Chapel Hill, Fearrington Village will also be serving a holiday lunch at the Fearrington House Restaurant — recently named one of the top 50 restaurants in the country — and will also be offering overnight packages in the Fearrington House Country Inn, complete with dinner, champagne and truffles on New Years Eve and breakfast and afternoon tea the following day. Rates start at $525 for that package at the inn, one of two five-star bed and breakfasts in North Carolina. Reservations can be made at (919) 542-2121.
In Moore County, Southern Pines will sponsor a family-friendly party downtown with live music and other attractions starting at 6 p.m., with a pine cone drop at 8 p.m. Nearby, the Pinehurst Resort will be throwing a party that includes a night's stay at the resort, dinner, a midnight breakfast buffet and a breakfast on New Year's Day, plus a party with the Band of Oz, a beach music band that's been performing for decades. It's $239 for the night and $429 for a three-night stay.
In Harnett County, there will be a 2.5-mile guided hike at Raven Rock State Park starting at the picnic shelter at 1 p.m. on New Year's Day.

When Tropical Storm Irene came through last year, the floods washed out 2,600 feet of streambank at Simplicity Farm, which is located just north of North Fayston Road on Route 100 in Waitsfield. Damage costs were estimated at upwards of $150,000.
Now, a year later, "We've got half the streambank repaired, but the problem is we're running out of money," Simplicity Farm's owner Doug Turner said.
In addition to repairing the streambank, the farm has had to pay $19,000 to remove storm-strewn gravel, sand, trees and trash from its fields and to treat and replace cows that became infected by bacteria after eating silt-covered grass. The storm also destroyed 8.5 acres of corn, 128 round bales of hay, yards of electric fencing and gallons of milk that couldn't be refrigerated during power outages.
While Simplicity Farm has received money from aid organizations such as the Valley Community Fund, the Vermont Community Foundation, the Northeast Organic Farming Association, and more, to pay for these repairs, it will be awhile before their farm can be restored to its original state. "We have to keep working on it," Turner said. "[We need] another $50,000 to $70,000 so we can finish protecting our property."
That being said, "The grass is growing well," Turner said, "and the cows are relatively healthy, I just don't have enough of them." In other words, "We're holding in there."

If you are a fan of the Loreal Infallible lip glosses, this is a nice color. These glosses are sticky and can easily stick to your teeth if you don't wait for it to dry before smiling. I adore the peachy champagne color of this shade and would love to find a lipstick the same color. I don't think this shade is the best representation of this line due to the metallic, glittery nature of the shade but I do wish I would have backed this one up since the color is so versatile and the color was LE.
L'Oreal Pretty Precious Infallible Lipgloss ($9.99 for 0.21 fl. oz.) is a soft pink-beige with white and silver shimmer and sparkle. Bobbi Brown Firefly has pink iridescence. NARS Albatross/ has gold shimmer instead of silver. MAC Jana has gold sparkle.

Austria is world famous for its amazing alpine ski resorts, and Innsbruck is one of the most popular with European skiers and snowboarders of all abilities.
One of biggest draws of Innsbruck as a ski resort is that the town has its own airport, so that you can go from plane to slopes in under an hour. Thomascook Airlines serves Innsbruck airport from the UK, with cheap flights meaning that your ski holiday doesn't have to cost a small fortune. This easy accessibility also makes Innsbruck a popular resort for short skiing breaks - as minimal time is wasted on transfers - and those with restless children who want a ski holiday with the least hassle factor possible. When you choose Innsbruck ski holidays you can simply land, drop your bags off at your accommodation and strap on those skis ASAP!
Rather than being your typical town ski resort, Innsbruck is a major Austrian city in the heart of the Alps, with all the facilities and benefits that brings. As well as the all-important airport you'll find museums, galleries, restaurants, a lively night-scene and plenty to keep the kids happy on and off the slopes. As the gateway to the Olympia SkiWorld Innsbruck ski area, which includes nine different resorts and 11 mountains to choose from, holidays to Innsbruck offer the best of both ski holiday and city break.
Flanked by towering white peaks on all sides, you'll benefit from a picturesque location as you explore the city's historic Old Town, museums and parks. Just 10 minutes away on the funicular you'll find the brilliant Nordpark ski resort, which boasts some of the steepest runs in the Alps. Or choose the Seefeld resort which is fantastic for family skiing, beginners and children, or the Stubai glacier, which is a good all-rounder with an excellent snow record.
For non-ski days with the kids Alpenzoo is a popular attraction, where you can see alpine animals in a hillside setting that's as close to nature as a zoo can get. The mountain trams, funicular and cable cars are also a great way to make the most of the stunning views and spectacular scenery.
If you fancy a ski holiday that also offers the perks of a city break, Innsbruck is the perfect choice of destination. Book your cheap flights with Thomascook Airlines and go from plane to city to slopes with ease.

The Tradition Continues
Once again it's time for the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum's annual Clambake. Chef Robert is preparing a plethora of delectable seafood dishes, including cioppino, steamed clams, fresh swordfish, and clam chowder. The evening also features a dessert table. To join us for a night of feasting and fun, please return the enclosed coupon. The tradition continues at 6:00.
Europe and of the modern world was forever
changed by the outbreak of the French Revolution.
Whether that change was for good or ill remains the
subject of keen dispute-both intellectually and
politically. To plumb the causes and effects of that
momentous Revolution and to weigh its good and
bad qualities, the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum
joins with the Henry Salvatori Center in launching a
series of expert talks on the French Revolution.
"In Defense of the Republic of Virtue" is Katherine
Auspitz's theme on Tuesday, February 6. A spirited
lecturer, Auspitz has taught at Wellesley College and
Harvard University, where she was associate professor and head tutor in social studies. She has written
extensively on 18th- and 19th-century France, including a book on The Radical Bourgeoisie: The Ligne de L'Enseignement and the Origins of the Third Republic, 1866-1885 (1982) and her
forthcoming study, Exporting Revolution: French and
Foreign Jacobins, 1792-1815. Besides her academic
credentials-she is a magna cum laude graduate of
Radcliffe College, a Fulbright scholar, and a Harvard
Ph.D. in government-Auspitz has taken a practical
interest in civic virtue by serving as chairman of the
Board of Election Commissioners of Somerville,

president of The Fund for the Feminist Majority, which is sponsoring the Feminization of Power Campaign, a
national effort to inspire unprecedented numbers of women to seek leadership positions, to promote a national feminist
agenda, and to heighten awareness of the feminist majority. Smeal has served as president of the National Organization
for Women (NOW). She was one of the sponsors of last April's March for Women's Equality/Lives in Washington,
D.C.- the largest march in the history of the women's rights movement for keeping abortion safe and legal. In addition,
she worked to defeat four statewide anti-abortion referendums, and developed an aggressive legal strategy against the
leaders of the anti-abortion movement, with the goal of ending violence and harassment at women's health centers.
Smeal's leadership has been acknowledged by
many well-known publications. In 1983 she was
chosen by the World Almanac as the fourth-most
influential woman in the United States; she was
named by Time magazine as one of the "50 faces for
America's Future" in 1979; and she was featured as
one of the six most influential Washington lobbyists
in U.S. News & World Report.
Eleanor Smeal graduated from Duke University
and received her master's degree from the University
of Florida. She is married to Charles Smeal and has
two children.

Meredith's hormones kick in, Arizona experiences phantom pain, and an adviser looks to make cuts.
At the hospital, Callie questions Derek's plans to do a long surgery. They join the staff. Owen tells everyone an adviser has been appointed to find ways to cut costs. Meredith drags Derek into the on-call room to have sex - her hormones make her want it all the time. When she gets paged, she cries. Shane knocks on the door and finds himself confronted by a furious Meredith.
At the nurses' station, Stephanie asks April for help. April takes her to the ER, where their patient turns out to be Dr. Cahill, the adviser, who's upset about the wait time.
Alex, Arizona, and Christina consult with an African orphan with a heart problem. After, Christina warns Karev the adviser could cut his orphan program. Later, in surgery, Christina is excited about the girl's rare heart disorder. Arizona leaves suddenly.
Meredith and Shane are treating a pregnant woman who winds up unconscious - her liver shut down. Meredith orders an apologetic Shane to go and not to come back until he's found a liver. Meredith tells Bailey she wants to kill him.
Derek and Jo meet with the tumor patient. He tells Jo he wants Shane to assist. Owen and Dr. Cahill appear. She questions pre-op patients staying overnight and then complains about the ER wait time. Richard appears - apparently he knows Dr. Cahill. Meanwhile, Shane, waiting on a liver, tells Jo he can't assist Derek. Later, Derek has to tell his patient the tumor has progressed. He agrees to let Jo assist.
Owen and Dr. Cahill find Arizona in the lounge. Owen realizes she has phantom limb pain and assures her it's very real. He uses a mirror to re-route her brain. Arizona feels slightly better. She's angry to feel pain from a leg that's not there. Owen vows to help. Arizona meets with Karev about tomorrow's surgery. He offers to let her sit out - he doesn't want anything to jeopardize the program. Arizona insists she'll operate.
Meredith and Shane travel by ambulance to get a liver. Shane rambles about her pregnancy until she snaps. Once at the other hospital, Shane's mistake costs them the liver.
In the ER, Matthew, a paramedic, watches as April yammers away at Stephanie.
At home, Arizona has a nightmare about having leg pain in surgery and cutting her own leg with a scalpel. In the morning, she pretends to Callie that she's fine.
Back at Seattle Grace, Shane listens as Meredith and Bailey discuss waiting for another liver to become available. Meredith is reaming Shane out when the call comes. She says he'll have to fly to get the liver - all he has to do is carry a cooler. Bailey decides to go with him.
In a room, Owen teaches Arizona biofeedback with ocean waves. Later, he and Dr. Cahill observe the African girl's surgery. Arizona yells out. Owen tells her to picture the waves and sends Cahill to Derek's surgery. Derek kicks her out. She returns to find Owen ordering Alex to stab Arizona in the foot. It works - the phantom pain stops.
Stephanie is reciting medical terminology while making out with Jackson in the on-call room. She admits she's too busy and leaves.
At the airport, Shane and Bailey are surprised when Meredith shows up determined to fly. Bailey disembarks. They take off.
In the Portland hospital, Meredith is upset to see a mass on the harvested liver. They do a biopsy and it's fine.
In surgery, Jo tells Derek there is no face twitch. He says they may have lost the tumor patient the ability to move half his face. Later, they learn he is okay.
Back at Seattle Grace in the liver surgery, Shane is alarmed when Meredith cries, apparently from happiness.
At the nurses' station, April grills Stephanie, who passes the 'test'. Matthew, the paramedic, appears and asks April out.
Dr. Cahill holds a staff meeting and mentions the African orphan program. Christina surprises everyone by defending it. Cahill's proposal is actually that the hospital close the ER. Arguing ensues. Derek gets confrontational. Bailey snaps that not all of them have millions to fall back on, so unless he has a better idea, he should listen to what she has to say.
Near the elevator, Cahill talks to Richard about when he was her teacher. She says she'll be making changes - he should be proud. She notes that he logged the least amount of surgery hours last month.
At home, Meredith and Derek discuss Seattle Grace. Meredith congratulates Derek on his surgery and says she flew on a plane today.
In bed, Callie and Arizona visualize being on a beach.
Candi's Comments:
I loved that Derek operated again and Meredith flew. The bit with the pregnancy hormones was pretty funny. Owen helping Arizona was also cool - but what a gory nightmare she had! So glad Alex's program wasn't on the chopping board. Christina was hilarious defending the orphans! The hot new paramedic is very intriguing and the actor playing him used to be one of my favorites on "All My Children." Yum! Dr. Cahill seems scary - yikes!

SuperNaked exists somewhere between everything you think you already know. Combining musical prowess, expert songwriting, emotional content, and comedic flair, their music spans several genres and knows no bounds.
Before SuperNaked was forged, Lee Miles wrote some tunes with Luke Thomas. After a long, raunchy conversation with Matt Gendal on the streets of LA, they invited him to jam on their new material for shits & giggles. The trio, without any real pretense of starting a band, eventually called their friend Rod Castro to play a few shows. Rafe Bradford showed up to play bass ... Rafe continues to show up of his own volition.
SuperNaked quietly released their first music video on YouTube for Terrible Person in August of 2013. It was directed & filmed by Brad Scott of Definite Productions and featured actor/musician Drake Bell. They performed the same song for BalconyTV a few weeks later.
You can now catch them here at Jon Lovitz Comedy Club every Friday - and no two shows are the same. Every week, late night Friday hosts 3 of the hottest headliners working in live comedy to kick off the SuperNaked experience with guest artists popping in to perform with the band. Past guests have included the legendary Gallagher, Charles Fleischer, Drake Bell, and the exceptionally talented Eliza James.

Apple iPad event set for March 7, 10am PT
Apple has sent out press invitations for their iPad 3 unveiling, set of March 7 at 10am PT. The invitation reads:
We have something you really have to see. And touch.
The image shows a finger lingering over the iPad dock, and as with the iPhone 4S invitation, the icons are cleverly used to provide information: San Francisco on Maps, March 7 on Calendar, and Keynote. (They couldn't include the Clock icon showing the time since iPad doesn't have a built-in Clock app like iPhone does.)
There's no Home button visible, but the simplest explanation for that is the iPad is being held in landscape orientation. Also, the icons are all rendered very crisply, almost Retina-esque...
The iPad 3 event (if that's the device name Apple is going with) will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Along with the widely expected Retina display, the iPad 3 is also rumored to be getting a better, perhaps quad-core processor, and 4G LTE networking.
iMore reported the March 7 event date back on February 13.

Apple iPad event set for March 7, 10am PT
Got it...I think, it means that the date it will be in the users hands will be crazier than ever...the next day or 2-3 days ? The 12th (which is the next Monday) ? They can then use that to highlight how other companies still use vapourware or have massive lead times. Maybe they want to make a big deal out of this ?
Sources say it is a touch screen television....
Is it me, or does there appear to be no home button in this image?
the touch part must mean, "touch the retina display" to actually see and feel what it looks like on hand. And for the image being crisp, all other iPad display images are crisp.
that would be beyond awesome! I sold my ipad 1 and I am desperate!
OK, think about it, they show the retina display and lack of home button in the invitation, which makes me curious if there isn't something of more importance to be revealed. And I guess they hint at it in the invitation too: "We have something you really have to see [retina display] AND TOUCH".
Anybody remembering the Senseg "TACTILE PIXEL" technology?
Or much more interesting, TeslaTouch, a technology similar to Senseg's, but developed by DISNEY (yes the Disney where Steve Jobs was a member of the board of directors!!!)
Well, if you ask me, we get to feel what we are touching on the iPad.
And in combination with the new AppleTV, which is for sure going to be revealed there too, you have the perfect gaming controller (and mic for Siri control) because you could feel the buttons displayed on the iPad.
Going to be awesome!
Wow! Like many I thought that the "touch" part intended only to complete the sentence with more impact. After seeing these videos, however, I really think it is quite possible. Apple is not usually crazy about some new and untested technologies, but in this case I see something that they really might be interested in being the first to have, especially after Steve's death and the need to present something great again. It also goes really well with the better (to not say "retina") display, which is great but not necessarily a killer feature for some.
I bet theres no more home button and the Home button turns into an icon,meaning theres no more buttons to press.
chick this out man you are wrong.
Based on the bubbles in the background image and the swoopy shading on the dock, it is almost certainly in portrait mode with five icons in the dock, showing the three right-most icons. The home button (or camera if upside down) should be on the bezel below the Maps icon, but it is not. It is either a misleading photoshop, or there is no longer the traditional home button.
i am with you...i doubt they'd lose the home button. they just screwing with our minds with that invite.
Maybe they're releasing a new iPod touch?
I'm betting on a touch-enabled bevel on the next-gen iPad.
Retina is a function of distance, so the further you hold something away, the lower the pixel density has to be to qualify as "retina". Apple does seem to be using it as a marketing term, rather than technical term.
9.7-inch screens probably get held further away than 3.5-inch screens, so 240 might be okay.
Well, Steve Jobs did define it at the iPhone 4 introduction in 2010 as "anything above 300dpi, because at that rate, the human eye cannot tell the difference between 300ppi and even higher pixel densities."
Retina is merely a marketing term, however. You can't go into a non-Apple store (those are still around if you look closely) and ask "...well, that's an insanely beautiful display, but is it Retina?" You'll either be laughed out of the store or taken in the back for a good beating."
As Rene points out, Retina Display is just a marketing term. Apple has adopted it as a shorthand for pixels-so-dense-most-eyes-can't-tell-the-difference, but it has no real technical meaning. Opthamologists dispute what that point would be, or if the iPhone even qualifies. I am sure people will argue over the "Retina" quality of the iPad 3, too. But that all misses the point, two of them, really:
1) "Retina Display" is a catchy -- and trademarkable -- way to say reallyreallydensepixels
2) Whether or not you can distinguish the pixels at your average holding distance, it is a damn nice screen.
are ways to ask politely and with unridstandeng.There are ways to ask aggressively without thinking With all this drama, you don't chose the right solution.Yes, I have no idea what the original source was or where it came from and, today I have no proof that the real source was pronounced.Sorry
don't tease me bro.... on a side note I just got the iphone 4s, and it's a lovely little device
Ando Touch... I'm guessing cuz the ipad3 might have a capacitive touch home button!
I have been using the mini version of this for a week now, it's ptenamrnely attached to my iPhone and is ideal for cold weather and thick gloves. Have also ordered the standard size above for regular use.It's the best stylus so far I have used. Doesn't need a heavy touch like the Griffin stylus, so therefore it feels more natural.
iLife announcement yes
I think the see part means they will be showing off the retina display of the iPad 3, and the 'touch' part means that they will have them available for sale immediately in stores so you can touch one.
Not only that, but there seems to be NO home button, which explains the mention of the "And touch." in their invitation. How can we know? First, the photo they are showing is on portrait mode. You can't achieve that icon spacing in the landscape mode (which is the only explanation for the lack of home button).
Moreover, the icon falls right onto the same water drop that the current iPad 2 falls while in portrait mode. The same happens with the reflection on the dock. And, on top of that, it's impossible to get the same icon spacing in landscape mode. Clearly, Apple's invitation is showing a photo of the iPad in portrait mode. And there's no button to be seen.
Obviously the iPad 3 will include a higher-res display, but the reference to touch either indicates a haptic display or more likely, an improved oleophobic display. Also, the image has no home button, which could be a clue, or simply a picture of the iPad 3 in landscape orientation. The presence of Keynote could be a subtle clue to abandon rumors of Microsoft Office app being launched at the event.
A lot of thanks for your whole work on this web page. My moehtr really loves engaging in investigations and it's simple to grasp why. I hear all concerning the powerful form you render powerful items through the website and cause participation from the others on this content so our simple princess is certainly studying a whole lot. Take pleasure in the rest of the new year. You are carrying out a useful job.
Is any way we can see this show online on Wednesday ?
The other thing I notice (from the comparison between this pic and the one from the ipad last year), is that above the bezel, underneath the dock icons, there is a thin white line that runs along. I wonder what that is about. Doesn't look like much, it's just definitely not on the current iPad.

Why would they include the word 'really'? This just HAS to be some kind of big deal if they use that word. Everyone is pointing out see and touch. Obviously those words stand out. But why do we really have to see? Is it really that major? We will have to wait and see, but really is the word that stands out the most to me. There's got to be something bigger than a no home screen button--it's cool not to have, but we knew about that already. They know we already REALLY want to see their future products, so to add really in the mix, really makes it that much more interesting. ;-) Really.

Can somebody tell pls where can I see the keynote online that day pls answer me pls
I am an iOS developer and I use to work with iOS 5.1 beta. There was no HOME button in iOS 5.1 iPad simulator.
I can't believe all the craziness this little photo and two short sentences has wrought on the citizens of Appleworld. I'm excited too, but geez, calm down a little will ya? ;) Anyway, I think most of you are reading way too deep into the meaning of the sentence 'And touch.' You know what I think? I think the iPad 3 will go sale the same day as this event. Think about it. No massive pre-ordering madness that leads to the usual stock depletions. It'll be a first come, first serve, very last-minute announcement by Apple. I bet my life that the iPad 3 goes on sale March 7th. Have your cash ready.

Morocco, mountainous country of western North Africa that lies directly across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain.
The traditional domain of indigenous peoples now collectively known as Berbers (self-name Imazighen; singular, Amazigh), Morocco has been subject to extensive migration and has long been the location of urban communities that were originally settled by peoples from outside the region. Controlled by Carthage from an early date, the region was later the westernmost province of the Roman Empire. Following the Arab conquest of the late 7th century ce, the broader area of North Africa came to be known as the Maghrib (Arabic: "the West"), and the majority of its people accepted Islam. Subsequent Moroccan kingdoms enjoyed political influence that extended beyond the coastal regions, and in the 11th century the first native Amazigh dynasty of North Africa, the Almoravids, gained control of an empire stretching from Andalusian (southern) Spain to parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Attempts by Europeans to establish permanent footholds in Morocco beginning in the late 15th century were largely repulsed, but the country later became the subject of Great Power politics in the 19th century. Morocco was made a French protectorate in 1912 but regained independence in 1956. Today it is the only monarchy in North Africa.
Although the country is rapidly modernizing and enjoys a rising standard of living, it retains much of its ancient architecture and even more of its traditional customs. Morocco's largest city and major Atlantic Ocean port is Casablanca, an industrial and commercial centre. The capital, Rabat, lies a short distance to the north on the Atlantic coast. Other port cities include Tangier, on the Strait of Gibraltar, Agadir, on the Atlantic, and Al-Hoceïma, on the Mediterranean Sea. The city of Fès is said to have some of the finest souks, or open-air markets, in all of North Africa. Scenic and fertile, Morocco well merits the praise of a native son, the medieval traveler Ibn Baṭṭūṭah, who wrote that "it is the best of countries, for in it fruits are plentiful, and running water and nourishing food are never exhausted."
Morocco borders Algeria to the east and southeast, Western Sahara to the south, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north. It is the only African country with coastal exposure to both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Its area—excluding the territory of Western Sahara, which Morocco controls—is slightly larger than the U.S. state of California. Two small Spanish enclaves, Ceuta and Melilla, are situated on the country's northern coast.
Most of Morocco lies at high elevations, averaging about 2,600 feet (800 metres) above sea level. Two chains of mountains divide eastern from Atlantic Morocco: the Rif Mountains in the north form a buffer along the Mediterranean coastline, whereas the Atlas Mountains create a barrier across the centre. The two parts of the country are connected by the narrow Taza Gap in the northeast as well as by roads that follow older traditional routes. The Atlas and Rif ranges were formed during the Paleogene and Neogene periods (between about 65 to 2.6 million years ago) by the folding and uplifting of sediment that had accumulated in the Tethys Sea, which, at that time, bordered the northern coast of Africa.
The Rif Mountains are geologically part of the cordilleras (mountain chains) reaching southward from the Iberian Peninsula of Europe, from which Africa was separated only after the Neogene Period (i.e., during the past 2.6 million years). The crescent-shaped range rises abruptly from a narrow Mediterranean coastal plain. Most of the limestone peaks in the Rif Mountains surpass 4,900 feet (1,500 metres) and rise to 8,058 feet (2,456 metres) at Mount Tidirhine.
The Atlas Mountains comprise three distinct chains. The High Atlas (Haut Atlas), 460 miles (740 km) long, begins as small hills at the edge of the Atlantic, rises rapidly to more than 6,500 feet (2,000 metres), and reaches 13,665 feet (4,165 metres) at Mount Toubkal, Morocco's highest point. The Middle Atlas (Moyen Atlas) trends away from the High Atlas in a northerly direction, rising to 10,958 feet (3,340 metres) at its crest. The Anti-Atlas extends southwestward from the High Atlas to the Atlantic.
East of the Rif and Atlas ranges is the Moulouya basin, a semiarid lowland created by the eroding force of the Moulouya River. Farther east are the High Plateaus (Hauts Plateaux) of eastern Morocco, which lie roughly between 3,900 and 4,250 feet (1,200 and 1,300 metres) in elevation and are extensions of landforms in neighbouring Algeria. The arid regions to the south and southeast of the Atlas constitute the northwestern limit of the Sahara, whereas a narrow transitional band at the base of the mountains is called the pre-Sahara.
Atlantic Morocco consists of plains formed of relatively fine sediments and plateaus of coarser deposits. The Sebou River basin, which lies in the northwest between the Rif Mountains and a line running roughly from Rabat to Fès, is a large alluvial plain. Its agricultural heart is known as the Gharb plain. South of the Rabat-Fès line, between the Atlas and the Atlantic Ocean, are a series of high plains known collectively as the Moroccan Plateau. These include the Saïs Plain near Fès and Meknès, the Tadla Plain to the northeast of Marrakech, the Haouz Plain west of Marrakech, and the broad Chaouïa, Doukkala, and Abda plains south of Casablanca. Between the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas ranges is the Sous River valley. Morocco's coastline is regular and has few natural harbours. Before modern ports were constructed, sandbars and rocky reefs offshore made navigation difficult.
Morocco's mountains capture significant amounts of rain and snow on their windward slopes from storms coming in off the North Atlantic and give rise to numerous perennial watercourses. Indeed, the country has the most-extensive stream network in North Africa. Most streams arise either on the western slopes of the Atlas Mountains or on the southern slopes of the Rif Mountains and flow westward to the Atlantic Ocean. The Sebou is some 280 miles (450 km) long and has the largest volume of any Moroccan river. With its tributaries, the Sebou accounts for almost half of Morocco's surface water resources. The Drâa, which rises in the High Atlas at the confluence of the Dadès and the Imini, is Morocco's longest river, approximately 685 miles (1,100 km) in length; all but the headstreams and upper course are usually dry. At 345 miles (555 km) long, the Oum el-Rbia is another significant river, flowing from the Middle Atlas to the Atlantic. The Moulouya is the only major river flowing to the Mediterranean Sea; it originates on the eastern slopes of the Middle Atlas and flows about 320 miles (515 km) to its mouth, which lies near the Algerian frontier. The northern slopes of the Rif are drained by several short streams that also empty into the Mediterranean. Several minor streams originate on the dry eastern slopes of the High Atlas and flow into the Sahara; these include the Guir, the Rheris, and the Ziz. Although their volume is small, they have cut deep gorges. Since the 1930s Morocco's streams have progressively been dammed for irrigation, hydroelectricity, and flood control.

COLUMBIA CITY — After taking a break to plan his retirement, newly elected Whitley County Consolidated School board member Bill Tucker said he is ready for a second go-around.
"I'm humbled by the support the community has given me, and I'm anxious to get back on the board," said Tucker.
Tucker first served as a WCCS Jefferson Township board member seven years ago, when he was approached by board members and asked to consider the job.
"I was interested in the community without having a background in education. I believe very strongly that education is an economic issue, as well as a personal learning issue. A strong school system would lead to a stronger economic community," said Tucker. "I accepted that opportunity and served about three and a half years. Then I chose not to run for school board since I was at the crossroads of planning my retirement."
Tucker retired from a 40-year career working in the banking and trust industry.
"I hope I can bring that expertise to the board," said Tucker.
This fall, Tucker said he was approached again by some members of the community and asked if he would consider running.
"I thought now that I have things lined up, I'd be willing to give back to the community," said Tucker.
Tucker took his post as a school board member hoping his experience would be an asset, not a stumbling block.
"I pledge to myself and to the community that I will not make decisions based on how it was when I went to school," said Tucker. "That's no longer relevant. Things have changed so I hope I can always be open-minded."
In the area of facilities, food service and transportation management there will always be challenges. Tucker said those challenges are added to the ever-evolving educational piece.
With a newly elected state superintendent of public instruction, Tucker said he is interested to see how that will affect the school systems.
"Much of our duties and challenges are handed to us by the state," said Tucker. "We're not in total control of the educational process. It's a delicate balance between what the state mandates to us and how can we accomplish that and still have personal touches to it."

The pedestrian bridge across Crescent Avenue connecting the main campus with student housing was dedicated on September 16, 2003. It was named after Don Willis, entrepreneur in residence at IPFW's school of business and management science. The dedication included Mr. And Mrs. Willis crossing the bridge with 20 preschool children from the IPFW child care center. The triangular design, by Kurt Heidenreich, was necessitated by the need to cross both Crescent Ave. and an area of uneven terrain. The pedestrian bridge is 250 feet long and 14 feet wide. The peak stands 105 feet above Crescent Ave. The bridge is only the second in the united States that is structured on two pylons with four support cables. The original cost of the bridge was $2,300,000.

As businesses around the world continue to pursue mobile, social and cloud computing technologies in an effort to improve operations and stay competitive, more organizations are falling victim to sophisticated digital threats that are being reengineered with next-generation infrastructure environments in mind. To keep mission-critical resources safe, decision-makers will need to be vigilant and implement innovative solutions to reduce risk.
Unfortunately, the cloud risk landscape is not standardized, meaning organizations are often on their own when it comes to assessing and guarding against potential threats. A recent TechTarget report highlighted how a variety of consulting agencies have come forward during the past several years with documents containing information about the potential cloud threat landscape, although these resources may not provide companies with all the information they need to truly mitigate risk.
Understanding cloud security risk assessments
Enterprise executives need to develop a robust cloud risk assessment framework if they are to migrate mission-critical resources to the hosted environment without exposing those assets to malicious cybercriminals who are targeting the private sector with more enthusiasm than ever. For the most part, Cloud service providers are aware of the expanding threat landscape, however, and have adjusted their offerings to make them more defensive against problems, TechTarget said. Still, the overall risk of doing anything digital is growing, forcing companies to take initiative.
To begin, IT directors should develop a model that defines potential risks and the relationship between those incidents and the data center, the news source stated. This is an important first step because it enables decision-makers to understand what potential threats are associated with using a particular cloud infrastructure model or solution. This approach also allows IT managers to evaluate the residual risk after any controls have been implemented to reduce challenges.
Because every organization is different, each will have its own unique definitions and problems to be on the lookout for. Retailers, for example, need to be aware of payment card industry compliance requirements and how cybercriminals will be on the prowl for financial data. Meanwhile, healthcare institutions must be vigilant when protecting personally identifiable information, as failing to do so will leave existing and prospective patients at risk.

Mediation discussions continued Thursday in Oklahoma as opponents in the adoption of 4-year-old Veronica try to find a middle ground, but a judge told the Tulsa World newspaper that no settlement had been reached.
Matt and Melanie Capobianco of James Island and Dusten Brown were seen for the fourth consecutive day at a downtown Tulsa courthouse, where multiple sources told The Post and Courier that mediation was ongoing.
The sources refused to be named because of a gag order.
Those sources said the sides had nearly reached a deal at other times during the week. They expected one proposal allowing Brown to visit Veronica to be approved Thursday.
But the settlement judge in the case said that no agreement had been finalized, the Tulsa World reported around midday Thursday. The newspaper did not name the judge.
The parties in the dispute attended hours-long proceedings Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and again Thursday in a building where an appeals court holds hearings.
The details of the discussions were not known because of the gag order.
Steven Hager, a former mediator who now serves as the director of litigation for Oklahoma Indian Legal Services, told the Tulsa World that the process typically ends in a solution that both sides can accept but not be completely happy with.
Opponents in such a dispute usually must realize that they're unlikely to win outright, he said.
"This is not going to end well," Hager told the newspaper. "The hope is to find a compromise that ends it as gracefully and as least destructively as possible for the child."
Brown got custody in late 2011 under the Indian Child Welfare Act, but the U.S. Supreme Court later ruled that the federal law didn't apply to him because he hadn't been in Veronica's or her birth mother's lives. Both the child and Brown are members of the Cherokee Nation.
South Carolina courts then finalized the Capobiancos' adoption, but Brown's attorneys challenged the decree from being enforced in Oklahoma.
During a Cherokee County, Okla., court appearance Aug. 16, the two sides agreed to mediation in the custody dispute as Brown successfully fought for a stay of judgment from the Oklahoma Supreme Court that stopped any immediate change of custody.
Even after Brown refused to hand over his daughter and a warrant was issued for his arrest last month, the Capobiancos maintained in an interview with The Post and Courier that they wanted him to play a role in Veronica's future.
