We're well into our Fall Fund Drive, and with Coffee for the Kids kicking off at Caffe Vita on Capitol Hill today, this is a big week for Vera! This week's T&SF features Elizabeth Maze (above, center), Vera's Front Desk Manager and general services coordinator. Read on to discover how she would improve Vera (it involves Ron Swanson and lots of snacks - you know it's good)!
How have you been involved with The Vera Project?
I started out as a Stranger reader, super stoked on this new all ages venue that was opening up with the most killer line up a 13 year old Elizabeth could have hoped for (Murder City Devils, Botch & the Blood Brothers - COME ON), then a volunteer, then an intern, and finally when they realized they were never going to get rid of me, I became Patron Services Coordinator.
How has Vera impacted you, or helped you with your future?
Vera got me involved in Seattle's music community and helped foster an interest that lead me to pursue a degree in the arts. This place affords amazing opportunities to young people that would otherwise be really difficult to achieve, and certainly shaped the aspirations I had career wise. I would not be this cool if it wasn't for The Project, let's be real. And I am… pretty cool.
If you had access to unlimited money, name one way you would improve Vera.
Oh man… I would hire Nick Offerman to dress up like Ron Swanson and prep all the hospitality for shows. And my lunches. Or maybe put a bunch towards Programming and host some crazy awesome classes geared more towards Visual Media Arts. With Nick Offerman serving snacks afterwards.
Do you have a favorite show or memory at Vera?
I mean, I got to casually chat with Steve Albini and R. Steevie Moore thanks to this place. I got to tell Leslie Ly I dressed up as her for Halloween when I was in college, I got to gush at Cassie Ramone about the film her band is named after. Vera's given me a lot of opportunities to embarrass myself in front of people with cool bands.
In less than 5 words, describe The Vera Project.
#1 All time Top Special
Why is it important for the community to support Vera?
Vera takes peoples interests and facilitates their realization. You're interested in Visual Art? Get involved with our Gallery Committee, come show your installations, meet people in the art community and see how you can get involved in local galleries. Wanna learn how to run a sound board? Take some classes, sign up for some shows, meet some people who work sound at local venues and get some contacts. Do you want to record a record, but cant figure out how to make your vocals sound like Chelsea Wolfe? Oh man, have we got some people you can chat with. Vera is an amazing resource to the Seattle community, but we can't do it without a little help!
Thanks, Elizabeth!
Starting October 15th and lasting through the end of the year, The Vera Project is asking for donations to our Fall Fund Drive! Donations of any amount are a crucial part of what makes Vera work. We rely on your (monetary!) support to keep our doors open to the thousands of individuals that come here each year. Please take a moment out of your day to donate a buck or two to help Seattle's premiere all-ages music & arts venue continue to thrive and give everyone a safe, low-priced, fun space to dance, learn, & rock!

Once upon a time, 12 timid students from Crenshaw High School arrived at LMU with only a shared curiosity of movies. Two weeks later, they left as a powerful family of storytellers. …
Rather than a fairy tale, that story has repeated itself since summer of 2006, when LMU's School of Film and Television first offered the Summer Creative Workshop, a 10-day immersion program that introduces young people in underserved communities to the filmmaking process.
The Crenshaw students, known as Fieberg Fellows after the program's founding donors Paul and Patti Fieberg, are among their school's academically gifted sophomores and juniors. To be accepted into the SFTV program, they must first undergo a rigorous selection process, and they must demonstrate creative promise and academic ability.
Once they are on the LMU campus, fellows find themselves in a fast-paced environment. They receive hands-on, intensive training in story and screenplay development, direction, cinematography, lighting, sound, editing and the full range of 3-D and 2-D animation story development and production. They even scout campus locations for their productions.
But the Fieberg fellows gain experience in front of the camera as well as behind it: They act in their films. During the course of the workshop, the students as a group make four films. They all write a short screenplay. The group then selects two live-action and two animation screenplays to produce, splitting into film production and animation teams.
The summer 2008 fellows focused on stories about relationships and ethical dilemmas — a marital squabble and whether or not to steal, for example. Mark Evan Schwartz, associate professor of screenwriting, says that students' stories often are about people making choices and dealing with the consequences of their choices. "What is wonderful about the workshop is that everyone has their own story. … The kids bring to this simply who they are and their enthusiasm, their highs and lows, joys and sorrows. It's all there in their work," he says.
For Teri Schwartz, dean of the SFTV (no relation to Mark Evan Schwartz), the program reflects the university's commitment to diversity. "I define the diversity pillar of our mission as a beautiful reservoir out of which new stories and storytellers would emerge to shape our world in unique and powerful ways," explains Schwartz. "The Summer Creative Workshop is the living, breathing example of diversity in action, in motion."
After sound effects are added and the films are edited, the students hold a premiere screening, complete with family and friends. It is an emotional experience, says Mark Evan Schwartz, and one that instills a sense of accomplishment in them.
But Fieberg fellows' story doesn't go forever dark after the screening. One of the program's long-term goals is to encourage the high school students to pursue their interest in filmmaking after they get to college. Fieberg Fellows can even qualify for scholarships to attend LMU if they continue to do well in school, and five former fellows have entered SFTV on full scholarships.
If this is just a preview of what the next generation of filmmakers will achieve, movie-goers have a lot to look forward to.
… And they filmed happily every after.

AUSTIN Demolition has begun on some Central Texas homes left unlivable after flooding during deadly fall storms.
The Austin American-Statesman reported Tuesday that crews are concentrating on Onion Creek neighborhoods.
Late October and early November flooding caused more than an estimated $100 million in damage to Travis County and damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes. At least six people died in the Central Texas floods.
People who live near the decimated homes have raised health and safety concerns.
The first residences being torn down include 14 homes purchased by Austin before the Halloween storms and severely damaged during the disaster along the flood plain.
The Army Corps of Engineers last month approved nearly $12 million for an additional 44 Onion Creek buyouts - pushing the total to about 160 residences.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7, 2001 The trans-Atlantic relationship is at the heart of the world's security, said NATO Secretary-General George Robertson, and care must be taken so the alliance doesn't drift apart.
Robertson spoke at the international Wehrkunde Conference in Munich Feb. 3 and supported the European Union's European Security and Defense Program.
"In the modern security neighborhood, to have only two options -- NATO or nothing -- is just asking for trouble," he said. "A European defense role can help fill this vacuum." Robertson said he is upbeat about the state of the trans-Atlantic Alliance even in the face of such experts as former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who said he believes Europe and North America are drifting apart.
Kissinger's warning was that European and American partners will go their separate ways unless they recover a sense of common destiny. "I simply do not believe the drift has been as great as some might say," Robertson said. "The trans- Aatlantic relationship is still very deep, solid, valuable and irreplaceable."
Robertson views the European Union proposal to field a 60,000-member rapid reaction force as a positive change. The EU envisions using the force when NATO as a whole is not involved in a crisis. He said Operation Allied Force, the 1999 air war against Yugoslavia, pointed out the imbalance in defense resources. The United States carried the burden, and that "is not fair or right, and certainly not sustainable," he said.
The secretary-general said many North Americans have called for Europe to do more in defense. "Many Europeans themselves want to make a greater contribution and have a correspondingly greater role in matters that affect their own security," he said.
Robertson takes the tack that Americans and Europeans want the same result. "The main difference between the current European defense efforts and those that went before is that the current project links European ambitions with both capability targets and NATO know-how and backup," he said.
NATO's Defense Capabilities Initiative is important to both the alliance and the new European capability. He said European governments have stopped the bleeding from defense budgets and are increasing spending on their militaries. Money spent on improving NATO capabilities can only improve European capabilities, he said.
Great Britain has completed, and Germany has begun, a total revamping of their forces to meet the threats of the 21st century.
"We have achieved more in the last 12 months on the mechanisms for building European defense than we achieved in the preceding 12 years," Robertson said. "Clearly, we have much more to do, but given the common objectives of Europe and America, the building of a stronger European defense role -- with a better-balanced NATO -- is a success in the making."

Free program scheduled on civil rights project
A free program on the 1963 Citizenship Education Project will be held at 10:30 today at the Warrenton Memorial Library.
The project conducted workshops in Warren and Franklin counties on voter registration and voting procedures in rural churches where few African-Americans were registered to vote at the time.
Members of the project, including 14 college students and three leaders, were the first interracial group to live together in Warren County.
Eva Clayton, a resident of Warrenton, initiated the project. She teamed with rural ministers to sponsor the workshops. She went on to become the first African-American woman from North Carolina to be elected to Congress.
Clayton will speak at the program, along with Judy Beil Vaughan, author of "A Quiet Little Civil Rights Project"; Sidney E. Dunston, who participated in the project and is now a Franklin County commissioner; Gavin Wright, original member of the project who is currently a professor of economics at Stanford University; Ray Gavins, professor of history at Duke University; and Sherman Johnson, a local radio journalist who will serve as master of ceremonies.
Refreshments will be served.

Volusia County deputy accused of DUI with 7-year-old in patrol car
By Pat Andrews
posted Oct 21, 2013 - 10:35:53am
Volusia County sheriff's Deputy Stephanie LeClerc is on paid administrative leave while an internal investigation gets underway as a result of a DUI charge Saturday night, Oct. 19. She was arrested by the Sheriff's Office.
LeClerc also faces an additional charge of child neglect, because LeClerc had a 7-year-old child in the car with her, the Sheriff's Office reported.
"She was off-duty and operating her assigned patrol car at the time of her arrest," Sheriff's Office spokesman Gary Davidson said.
The arrest came after a witness called 911 and videotaped the car swerving over the line near Airport Road and Pioneer Trail in New Smyrna Beach, according to the Sheriff's Office.
LeClerc failed field sobriety tests and refused to take a breathalyzer, Davidson also confirmed.
LeClerc, 37, has worked for the Sheriff's Office since July 1999. She is assigned to Court Services at the Volusia County Courthouse Annex in Daytona Beach.

ONEONTA — Police say a 27-year-old upstate New York school bus monitor has been accused of hitting a 5-year-old boy with a seat belt buckle and starting a fight between the child and another boy.
The Oneonta Daily Star reports that Heather Ferris of Schenevus has been fired from her job with the Oneonta City School District's bus company. She's facing a felony charge of second-degree attempted assault and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
Police say the boy hit with the buckle wasn't treated for any injuries except for a bloody nose suffered in the fight on the bus Wednesday.
A message left on an answering machine at a number listed for Ferris wasn't initially returned Friday afternoon.

THE former partner of a grandfather killed at the hands of a driver from Falmouth said she was "mad as hell" he did not wear a seatbelt.
Emma Clements' father Philip "Fuf" Slimmon died when his black Vauxhall Cavalier was struck side-on at the Newlyn Coombe crossroads on December 21 last year.
Alison May, for the CPS, said the 59-year-old from Catchall, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was thrown underneath his car, which had flipped over and struck a wall, while travelling towards Penzance at 8.30pm.
Last week, Alex Taachi, of Spernen Wyn Road, Falmouth, who drove the green Vauxhall Astra which struck grandfather of five Mr Slimmon's car, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving at Truro Magistrates' Court.
The 27-year-old, who was travelling back from seeing the Mousehole Christmas lights with his mother-in-law and her daughter when he missed a stop sign at the crossroads, was given a 12-month community order, banned from driving for a year, told to do 200 hours of unpaid work, and put on a curfew on Wednesday and Saturday nights for eight weeks.
His solicitor Neil Lewin said he still has nightmares and flashbacks and is remorseful.
Emma, 24, from Camelford, and her mother Sue Clements, 46, from Redruth, hoped to see the junction's safety improved.
Miss Clements, who has a daughter, Deryn, 1, and is pregnant, said: "Something should be done (but) it's all to do with the money. I'm still doing Fuf's lottery numbers, if they ever come up, I'll go and buy that plot of land."
"I've cried every day since he's gone, it's had a massive effect, she's (Derryn's) going to miss him as she grows up. I have got a voicemail on my phone from him so she can listen to his voice. And this one isn't going to get the chance to experience him."
Sue said: "We became better friends since we broke up, we were on the phone most nights and used to meet up. I really came to be closer to him. I miss him now.
"I am mad as hell at him (for not wearing a seatbelt)."
Tacchi, who had no previous convictions, was not familiar with the road and had researched the route. He had been driving a motor cycle for four to five years and driving a car for between four and five months.
Mr Lewin said: "He has been over and over in his head repeatedly on a day-to-day basis the reason why he did not see the sign. He says he cannot give any obvious reason and knows he is the cause of this accident and the death."
"It will haunt him for the rest of his life."
Chairman Fiona Roberts said "My colleagues and I have been on the Bench in excess of 16 years and very rarely have had to deal with such tragedy in this court."

Life in Prison for Elain Young and Katherine Mock in Murder-for-Hire Plot
Categories: Follow That Story, Violent Crime
|Elain Kay Young, now headed to prison for life for the murder of her fourth husband.
As Dailyrft recounted back in March, the Cassville, Missouri, murder was a hornet's nest of betrayal and counter-betrayal. Prosecutors made the case that Young only married Griesbauer to get his $1.2 million insurance policy, which she needed to save the family farm and dog breeding operation.
Her friend Mock became involved because she was led to believe that Griesbauer was abusing Young, according to Mock's attorney. Mock solicited for the potential killer among her own relatives. Their partnership took a turn for the worse when Mock told the court that Young had tried to kill her by forcing her to eat a bag of Vicodin.
Now they're both headed to prison for a long, long time. You have to wonder if they'll room together, given the option.

Lafayette Square: The Food Lover's Guide to One of St. Louis' Tastiest 'Hoods
Park Avenue Mansion - Bed and Breakfast
(2007 Park Avenue; 314-588-9004)
Built in the 1870s, the Park Avenue Mansion is a historic bed and breakfast positioned perfectly to take advantage of Lafayette Square's many restaurants and shops. After having once served as a birthing hospital, funeral parlor, physician's office and boarding house, the home has been beautifully reimagined and restored. Enjoy breakfast in the picturesque gardens, or, from October 16 through April 1, dine in with an elegant five-course preselect dinner. Coffee and tea are available 24 hours a day, and during the spring and summer, take advantage of herbal iced tea and mint-infused lemonade. Fall and winter brings organic chai or a hot cocoa.
Welcome to SqWires. | Kristen Klempert
(1415 South 18th Street; 314-865-3522)
Built into part of the renovated Western Wire Products factory in Lafayette Square, SqWires focuses on simple, spirited food. (Seafood, in particular, is a highlight.) The interior is modern-industrial with a cosmopolitan feel, thanks to exposed brick and lofty windows. The happy hour is pretty solid with above average drink offerings group-friendly food -- plates are easy to share, and each offers something for someone. The dips-and-spreads app features warm pita bread fanned among three very distinctively different but complementary dips. SqWires' modern flare fits in beautifully against the historic backdrop.

Square One Brewery and Distillery
(1727 Park Avenue; 314-231-2537)
Housed in an old Lafayette Square tavern that was home to an Anheuser-Busch tavern a century ago, Square One's dozen different varieties of house-crafted beer include the staples of every microbrewery -- a rich stout, a clean-tasting IPA and a tart weizen. The food is hearty pub fare that goes well with the full-bodied flavor of a pint: chili, beer-cheese soup, bratwurst, plus beer-battered this, that and the other. Besides the dozen microbrews on tap, the distillery side of the operation churns out its own whiskey, vodka, gin, an American tequila and three rums. A brewery and a distillery...in the same building? We are there.

Eleven Eleven Mississippi
(1111 Mississippi Avenue; 314-241-9999)
One of the most popular restaurants on the square (though technically, it's a few blocks away), Eleven Eleven Mississippi is the perfect spot for a dinner party or an intimate dinner date for two. The restaurant bills itself as a "Wine Country Bistro," and the wine list is up to the challenge along with a menu featuring variations on casual Northern Italian and California fare. Wild boar is a house specialty -- that's right, wild boar. The soft lighting and graceful décor helps create an intimate atmosphere to ensure things go well on that first date.

UPDATED: 'Fantastic Four' ongoing returns in November with No. 600, plus 'FF' No. 12 the same month
Marvel has revealed that the Fantastic Four ongoing series will indeed return in November with Fantastic Four No. 600, an appropriately quadruple-sized issue to mark the title and its title heroes' 50th anniversary.

CS/HB 1191 restores language that permits an industrial insured captive insurance company with unencumbered capital and surplus of at least $20 million to continue to write workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance in excess of $25 million in the annual aggregate. CS/HB 1191 corrects an inconsistency in current law by exempting captive insurance companies from deposit requirements that now exceed the surplus requirements to form a captive. Finally, CS/HB 1191 makes pure captive insurance companies responsible for adopting risk management standards for controlled unaffiliated business and requires such pure captive insurers to submit these standards to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation ("OIR") for approval.

Willamette Symposium Tackles States' Rights
Some people believe a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision to hear arguments against assisted suicide in Oregon is another attack on states' rights. Top legal experts from Oregon and across the country tackled this and other states' rights issues during "Laboratories of Democracy: Federalism and State Independency," a symposium held March 11, 2005, at Willamette University College of Law.
Since Oregon voters approved the Death with Dignity Act in 1998, more than 170 terminally ill people in the state have used the law to end their lives more quickly. Former Attorney General John Ashcroft filed an appeal last November challenging a lower court's ruling that the federal government cannot sanction or hold doctors criminally liable for helping patients die. Stephen Bushong, Oregon's Assistant Attorney General, and Kathryn L. Tucker, Director of Legal Affairs for Compassion in Dying, joined assisted suicide expert and Willamette Law Professor Valerie Vollmar in a lively discussion about assisted suicide and what a Supreme Court decision may mean for the right of states to govern themselves.
Panels of experts from the U.S. Department of Justice and law schools across the nation tackled a number of difficult states rights' topics, including gay marriage and domestic terrorism. Special guest speaker, the Honorable Jay S. Bybee, of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, offered "Reflections on the Tenth Amendment" to close the symposium.
Sponsored by the Willamette Center for Law and Government and the Willamette Law Review, the annual federalism symposium is open to the public and members of the legal community. For more information on upcoming symposiums, contact the Willamette Law Review at 503-375-5435.

ABC has a new talent show in the works, and Kelly Clarkson has signed on to the new project. The TV show, Duets, will be a talent quest in the same vein as American Idol, but will be based on competitors performing duets with all ready famous super stars — enter Kelly Clarkson. The basic premise is that pop stars will trawl the country for the perfect duet partner, with ABC stating that the celebrities "Will individually set out on a journey across America looking for undiscovered talent worthy to be their protégés." Joining Kelly in the quest will be Robin Thicke, Lionel Richie, and Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland.
The show will work as most reality talent shows do, with eight separate pairings and a weekly singing battle to the death. Well, not the death, it's not the Hunger Games, but you know what we mean — contestants will be eliminated (in the most friendly, still living way possible) until there's a winner. The prize is a contract with Disney-owned Hollywood Records, and depending on the success of the show, probably a charting single with the dueting pop star. Duets is set to debut this summer, so if you still haven't got your fill of talent quests, then you're in luck, because this one promises to be pretty fun with the stars getting hands on. We wonder if there will be any uber-fan experiences with contestants?

Fluorescent Green Star Polyps are easy to keep and are a great choice for the beginner. Star Polyps are an encrusting coral that can grow their dense colonies over rocks and even up the glass. They wave in the currents beautifully and give the reef a wild overgrown appearance. They provide a natural backdrop to your prized show corals.
Star Polyps can be placed almost anywhere in the aquarium where moderate currents will supply them with free-floating food. Leave several inches between them and other specimens, as they will usually expand their colony. They can overgrow some other types of coral so eventual trimming may be necessary. Star Polyps can be cultured by placing small pieces of the colony in different locations within the aquarium.
Green Star Polyps are shipped as colonies with numerous polyps attached to one rock. Please note that Green Star Polyps come in many different shades of green. The exact color of green may vary.
Lighting & Flow Requirements:
Fluorescent Green Star Polyps require moderate water flow and low to moderate lighting (PAR 80-250) to maintain their color. T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's can all grow polyps and zoanthids when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.
Water Chemistry:
It is important that proper calcium (420-440 ppm), alkalinity (8-9.5 dkh - run it 7-8 if you are carbon dosing) , and magnesium levels (1260-1350 ppm) are maintained. Raising magnesium levels gradually up to 1400-1600 ppm can help to combat algae outbreaks, just keep CA and Alk in line as you raise the Mg. Nitrates should be below 10 ppm and phosphates should be below .10 ppm. We recommend doing a water change when Nitrate levels rise to 10 ppm. It is important to replace your phosphate media when phosphates rise to .10 ppm. Media Reactors make the most efficient use of your phosphate media by fluidizing it.
Vivid Aquariums uses and recommends dosing pumps to automate the dosing of additives and keep your levels more constant. A dosing pump can alleviate the chore of manually dosing your aquarium with Ca, Alk, & Mg 2,3, or 4 times per week and will benefit your aquarium by keeping your levels constant through frequent small additions of Ca, Alk, & Mg. Our tanks all progressed when we switched from 3 manual dosings per week to 70 automatic dosings per week and we got a lot more work done.
Mount the Fluorescent Green Star Polyps using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock or ledge in the aquarium where they will receive direct flow and light.
Vivid Aquariums recommends feeding Star Polyps with Phytoplankton & Marine Snow. Target feeding gets the corals fed using less food while keeping your nitrates and phosphates lower.

VIDEO: There is still a lot at stake for Argyle this season, insists boss John Sheridan
Posted: February 20, 2014|
MANAGER John Sheridan believes there is still a lot at stake for mid-table Plymouth Argyle between now and the end of the season.
Sheridan has refused to rule out the Pilgrims' chances of a League Two play-off push, despite the 4-0 defeat by York City at Home Park last Saturday.
However, he has also admitted Argyle need to put more points on the board before they are safe from any threat of relegation.
The Pilgrims are 14th in League Two with 16 games to go, nine points adrift of a play-off position and 10 clear of the relegation zone.
Their trip to Dagenham and Redbridge on Saturday will be the first of four away games in the next five fixtures.
Sheridan said: "I want us to get as high (in the table) as we can. That's the way I'm looking at it.
"I try not to look at the bottom, even though I'm wary of it. We are still catchable. We haven't got enough points to be safe in the division."
Argyle's defeat by York, which came after centre-back Neal Trotman was sent-off in the 11th minute, was only the second time they had lost in their last 10 league games.
Sheridan said: "I still believe we can get in the play-offs. That's the way I feel.
"There are 10 teams who are thinking they have got a chance, including York. Someone is going to come out the group, and why can't it be us?
"But you can't keep letting games go by, because we are making it a little bit harder as each one goes by."
Argyle beat Dagenham 2-1 at Home Park in November, when midfielder Luke Young grabbed a late winning goal with a superb free-kick.
The Daggers have won only one of their last seven league games, but that was an excellent 1-0 success away to promotion-chasing Rochdale.
Dagenham also boast one of the top scorers in the division in 13-goal Rhys Murphy.
Sheridan said: "They haven't picked up that many points over the last five or six games but they won at Rochdale.
"Murphy is a good player in this division and they have got a bit of pace in the team.
"I thought they were a decent team even though we beat them here (at Home Park) 2-1. It was a very hard game.
"They are having a decent season and will feel that with a couple of wins they can have a little bit of hope of getting in the play-offs."

A Forensic Science Technician is generally a well-respected, decent-paying career that is steadily growing with its popular interest. Most positions in this field only require a bachelor's degree, but some qualities such as professionalism, problem-solving skills, speaking/writing skills, and attention to detail can be very helpful.Read More...
People working in this field can perform numerous tasks; the most common are crime scene investigation and laboratory analysis. The main purpose of this field is to collect and analyze physical evidence. Generally, technicians work full-time during typical business hours, but each job varies and can they can work long, stressful hours to meet deadlines. An estimated 9 out of 10 people working in this field work with state or local government businesses such as police departments, crime labs, morgues, and coroners' offices.
On crime scene investigations, forensic technicians will take photographs, sketches, and notes of all possible evidence, such as fingerprints, weapons, fluids, and documents. The evidence collected at a crime scene investigation is then processed at a laboratory by a technician who identifies and classifies the evidence, reviews the chemical and physical results, and consults with other experts before providing a detailed report. These reports can determine or quite possibly confirm the conviction of a criminal or the cause of death. Technicians may also reconstruct crime scenes based on their findings within the laboratories for further review.
The industry is expected to grow 20% until at least 2020 due to the popularity and demand for Forensic Science Technicians.
