Marolsha Wedding and Bridal Jewelry on Etsy
I'm in love with this Etsy shop that offers not just beautiful vintage-style jewelry, but sells in multiples for bridesmaids/wedding parties.
Oh, to be a bride in 2012.
Here are some things that caught my eye:
Set of three pairs of Dusty Blue Flower Bouquet earrings. So simple and lovely.
Set of five pairs of Bridesmaid Earrings. Very, very sweet.
Set of five pairs of Ivory Cream Teardrop Bridesmaid Earrings. I swoon. These are beautiful.
Set of five pairs of Creamy Ivory Flower Bouquet Earrings. Again: simple, sweet, and lovely.
Marolsha also has plenty of regular jewelry sold in singles, like these Spring First Love earrings.
And these Green & Pink Rose Flower earrings.
And one of my favorites: A Garden Wedding necklace. Gorgeous!
Beautiful things—you have to browse to get the full impact of the loveliness!
Here's the Etsy shop:

How delicate and pretty!
AngAK On Tuesday, March 6 at 3:05 pm
Is anyone else concerned about the earwire metal? I am very sensitive to anything but surgical steel or gold and am afraid I would not be able to wear these if given to me for a wedding. I would check this out before ordering.
KimberlyB On Tuesday, March 6 at 5:53 pm
I was wondering about the metal as well, my ears turn bright red and itch like crazy if its the wrong type. I tried looking all over her page to see what metals were used but I could not find any information :(.
The Crafty Wify On Wednesday, March 7 at 4:30 pm
I could be wrong… but the metal (findings) looks like plated bronze… or brass.:)
Maddy On Sunday, March 11 at 11:01 am
Thanks very much for all your interest in Marolsha!
All of my findings are brass based, as I love using brass in all forms as I love creating vintage style jewelry Please feel free to check with me on any items that you have in mind. I would be happy to assist you with your questions/enquiries
Thanks very much for dropping by, and its' an honor to be featured on
The Pioneer Woman.

I love these colors.
Kendra @ My Full-Thyme Life On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:14 am
I absolutely LOVE everything you shared here. The pale, dusty colors are perfect for spring!
Heather R. in KS On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:17 am
Oh my goodness! I love this shop! I will be bookmarking it as a favorite! I'm already planning to get something for my Mom's birthday, I think she would love the delicate'ness of the pieces. =)
Yogamama On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:19 am
My heart is racing for the ivory cream teardrop earrings! I don't need them for bridemaids but they would make perfect Easter gifts for my sisters!
Caroline in Tennessee On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:20 am
Love them all – especially the green and pink flower earrings!
Jess M On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:21 am
How convenient! I'm getting married next year, so how easy is it to get the earrings all in one batch in a single order? Not to forget how pretty they all are!
Kristy Newman On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:21 am
Who needs a wedding. I am long married but would wear these in a heartbeat!The necklace is super sweet.
Grammanita On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:22 am
They are truly lovely.
Pat in Oak Ridge TN On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:23 am
ok, now I'm in love. I have to have something from this shop. The earrings and necklaces are beautiful. thanks, Ree!!!
Jane M On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:25 am
**sigh** Weddings are so so fun, planning, and being a guest. Haven't been to a wedding in too many years.
Kimberly On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:26 am
Oh Ree, I must say, you probably would not want to be a bride in 2012!
I am recently engaged and my fiance and I are considering a very small wedding (immediate family only) because the logistics of planning a wedding have gotten really out of hand and extremely expensive. It is nearly impossible to make a decision without offending somebody and then when you do make a decision you are a Bridezilla.
diamondkelt On Tuesday, March 6 at 10:06 am
LOL Kimberly I totally have to agree. I got married in 09 and my MIL wanted me to invite HER friends, people we barely even knew and when I said I'd really just wanted it to be family she protested that these people had known my now husband for years and years! It was ridiculous. My hubby even said he barely remembered those people and the only reason his mom wanted them there was the "gift potential"! How selfish is that?? Totally not what we're about, but his mom is weird like that. Good luck with yours!
AngAK On Tuesday, March 6 at 3:03 pm
diamondkelt, it's YOUR wedding. make it just the way YOU want it. unless his parents are paying for the whole thing, thank them for their input and suggest they throw a party later for their friends. What will you remember later—the magical day you dreamed of, or all the headaches and tension and plans that were not yours?
Kimberly On Tuesday, March 6 at 3:37 pm
AngAK: Sorry, but much easier said than done.
Both of our families gave us some money to spend on our wedding and we are considering returning it and having a modest ceremony that we can afford on our own. If you do whatever you want, then people will call you a Bridezilla and spend a year or so (as long as wedding planning takes) talking behind your back. If you do what they want, then you end up with a very different wedding then you actually want.
Planning a wedding has been stressful and already expensive. My fiance and I want to be married, but we do not want to spend a year + of our life planning one day. The entire process has gotten so big it just isn't fun anymore.
AngAK On Wednesday, March 7 at 3:24 pm
I'll have to disagree—it doesn't have to be such a dreadful process. I was married last July, riverside, casual BBQ and lots of great memories—just how I and my husband envisioned it and no bridezilla showed up. everyone needs to be reminded that it's your wedding. I really feel sorry for you if this wedding planning is so agonizing. it really can be beautiful and lovely and a happy thing.
nancypants On Wednesday, March 7 at 7:31 pm
I completely believe what I'm hearing. As a wedding photographer I document the special day for many lovely brides and grooms. I have always thought though… what if everyone spent more time preparing for marriage than they did for the wedding? Things might be different. Better. It really should be the best day ever but not because it's PERFECT or a fabulous party but because of the forever that it begins.
jaesi On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:34 am
Gorgeous. And wouldnt ya know, my youngest sister is getting married in June. Perfect
Chelsey S. On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:36 am
Weddings today are so much more creative than even when I was married 8 years ago! Crazy! I love all the fun new things and ideas. I wish Etsy would have been around when I got hitched!!
Annette On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:37 am
Oh, thanks for sharing these beautiful finds. I loved them, but since I am celebrating 15 years of marriage this year I haven't a need for bridemaids gift. That's why I ordered the Spring First Love for myself. :0)
Lanie On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:38 am
I bought a pair of those gorgeous off-white bouquet earrings!
Doreen On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:39 am
That is one fab site!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Paula P. On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:40 am
A friend of mine is getting married in August and is wearing a vintage gown.. I just sent her the link and I know she is going to fall in love with the accessories. Thanks Ree!
Angela On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:40 am
Looks a lot like my favorite etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/JacarandaDesigns
Christina On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:47 am
Just ordered the cream colored studs for my bridesmaids- I have 5 total, so it's perfect! Thanks for the great link, and for helping me check off another things on my to-do list!
vickie tucker On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:50 am

Those are simply gorgeous. Don't even need to be a bride for that. Though I has me thinking about vow renewals!
Rowena Philbeck On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:53 am
Very pretty. Love all of them. Need to pass it along to my future daughter in law.
Jenny On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:54 am
My son is getting married this coming August…I will need to show these beautiful pieces to his fiancée…They would fit any wedding theme…Heck, I would where them DAILY!
Donna J. On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:56 am
They are lovely, but I only buy American Made jewelry as
well as anything else I can find American Made Only.
There are lots of websites now for American Made Only
Rosanne C. On Tuesday, March 6 at 10:01 am
All Those earrings are beautiful! You have great taste Ree. I love your life!! My dream is to live on a ranch just like you. I just discovered you on Food Network. I wake up an hour early before work on Saturdays just to watch you.
Lauren On Tuesday, March 6 at 10:04 am
Oh my gosh, thanks for the heads up on this shop! Loving it!
Vicki On Tuesday, March 6 at 10:07 am
This post is perfectly timed – I plan to buy all my girls a gift to wear on my wedding day when I ask them to be in my wedding party, but I didn't know what direction to go in. Thanks!
Jen Graham On Tuesday, March 6 at 10:13 am
Seriously though, thanks for sharing. One of those pairs of earrings is now winging it's way to me.
JG On Tuesday, March 6 at 10:17 am
But what about women who do not have pierced ears and refuse to have them?
Chrish On Tuesday, March 6 at 10:21 am
Very pretty. My Mom had earrings, something like these, back in the 1960's. They were a dusty coral color. I used to sneak them out of her jewelry box to play dress-up.
Sonya Smith On Tuesday, March 6 at 10:22 am
OOOOhhh, I am getting married in May. Do I feel a give-a-way coming on? I know, wishful thinking.
Amanda On Tuesday, March 6 at 10:26 am
Beautiful earrings…love the hair pins in their shop as well!!!! Etsy is the best!!!
Robin On Tuesday, March 6 at 10:30 am
Gosh… how sweet and pretty they are! Thanks for sharing this!

This kind of jewelry is right up my alley! I love it. Thanks for sharing!
Erin @ Brownie Bites On Tuesday, March 6 at 10:44 am
These are lovely for everyday wear as well – not just weddings.
Sharon On Tuesday, March 6 at 10:49 am
I just bought two pieces from this shop and could have bought LOTS more! Thanks for posting this, Ree.
Larita On Tuesday, March 6 at 11:02 am
I am not a jewellery person; I think I've bought 2 pairs of earrings for myself in my entire life. But I am putting at least 3 of these items on my wish list for next time I feel like spending money.
kat On Tuesday, March 6 at 11:05 am
I see you love blue! that is exciting as I love blue as well. my dream car is a robin egg blue doodle bug with convertible top….are you also a Capricorn? not that I pay attention to such things but almost every one I know that loves blue, willow tres, and the night sky is capricorn. I was born on Christmas Eve so mabe I am just strange!
Jo On Tuesday, March 6 at 11:17 am
What a delightful Etsy shop.
Sue On Tuesday, March 6 at 11:33 am
Oh Miss Ree! The jewelry is A M A Z I N G! Ya know, when you see something that just harmonizes with your soul? So perfect. Thank you for sharing
Joyce On Tuesday, March 6 at 11:34 am
Love them all…so gorgeous and Spring like! The knitter in me got really excited when I scrolled down to the second photo with all the blue earrings lined up…they look just like beautiful blue stitch markers!
Lisa ham On Tuesday, March 6 at 11:35 am

Connie Pruitt On Tuesday, March 6 at 11:51 am
Breath taking!
Sarah M. On Tuesday, March 6 at 11:52 am
A few of these would have looked beautiful for my girls, and even myself, for my wedding! Our wedding was vintage with that pretty blue.
Mindy Robertson On Tuesday, March 6 at 12:05 pm
Ooooh, I just love these! Thanks for sharing!
Nancy On Tuesday, March 6 at 12:27 pm
This was quite an expensive visit to PioneerWoman – the jewelry is so beautiful & I love the fact that much of it is one of a kind. Bought some really beautiful gifts! Thanks for sharing!
christy On Tuesday, March 6 at 12:35 pm
Oh Ree I LOVED this fun, funky jewelry! I ordered a necklace for myself just to you know, "make sure" it was good. Ha! Then I plan on getting mother's day gifts and birthday gifts and new mom gifts………….so fun!
Paula K On Tuesday, March 6 at 12:54 pm
Very beautiful stuff on Etsy; HOWEVER, this designer is wonderful too for bridal/non bridal parties…barefoot jewelry is to die for:
NG in NH On Tuesday, March 6 at 12:56 pm
I think many of these are gorgeous, but I'm wondering… do people have problems with the "antique" brass/bronze/other ear wires and such? My earlobes cringed just from my looking at them… I would hesitate to buy them because of that. (Probably just as well, from my wallet's point of view — sigh.)
kath On Tuesday, March 6 at 8:12 pm
I would not be able to wear the earrings either, darn it. But there are so many lovely necklaces, bracelets and rings that I may just have to treat myself or someone I love.
Stefanie On Tuesday, March 6 at 1:02 pm
Thank you for finding this! Her jewelry is beautiful! I'm not a bride, but that won't stop me from buying something.
Heather On Tuesday, March 6 at 1:23 pm
I have become obsessed with vintage jewelry after inheriting some gorgeous enamel flower chokers from my grandma. Some of my finds:
Jamie On Tuesday, March 6 at 2:19 pm
Clicked only to find…sold!! Love this
SueDeeSue On Tuesday, March 6 at 5:01 pm
Love this vinetage look. The colors and artistry are so precious….would be great for a wedding.
yvette On Tuesday, March 6 at 5:23 pm
These vintage earrings are adorable. I have been married too long to be called newlywed, but I would wear these any day of the week! Thanks Ree.
Nana On Tuesday, March 6 at 5:33 pm
Wonderful! Thanks to your posting, I went on her site and ordered a necklace and earrings. Cannot wait to receive them.
Babs C. On Tuesday, March 6 at 5:39 pm
To continue with the wedding theme, my daughter-in-law has a facebook page called Floriography boutique and she makes beautiful bridal and bridesmaid's bouquets, boutineers and/or table decorations out of material. She made some gorgeous bouquets for her sister's wedding made from the material and lace of their mother's wedding dress. Check it out!
Christina English On Wednesday, March 7 at 2:07 pm
I love your daughter in law's page. Thank you for the referral!
Donna V On Tuesday, March 6 at 6:25 pm
I just bought a necklace from them for a friends 50th birthday present. Hoping it is as nice in person as it looks on the web. These items are really nice too. Might have to go back and treat myself!
Dara On Tuesday, March 6 at 6:43 pm
I just ordered a pair of the cream teardrop…..thanks so much for sharing with us!
Sharon Sunshine On Tuesday, March 6 at 8:51 pm
Now these I like!
Barb On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:10 pm
I hardly ever wear jewelry. Many have tried to accessorize me with no success but, I must say, I am even tempted to buy things from this shop. I have used the "Honey, you could get it for my birthday" too many times already. Now what?
Darinda On Tuesday, March 6 at 9:18 pm
I've seen and longed for that necklace as well. You're causing me to covet it now!
Leslie On Wednesday, March 7 at 7:41 am
How do you have time to shop etsy? To me it is a black hole that I can not get out of when I start shopping!
Amanda Keating On Wednesday, March 7 at 8:32 am
So, so, pretty! I love everything old-fashioned!
Jayne On Wednesday, March 7 at 9:01 am
I love these. I love vintage! Thanks for the tip. My daughter is getting married in August and we need a gift for the bridesmaids. These would be perfect! Now to decide which ones to get . They are all so pretty!
Laura On Wednesday, March 7 at 12:07 pm
I just got married in January and I bought all of my bridesmaids' jewelry on Etsy! I picked something different for each of my girls, based on their individual tastes. It was the most fun part of planning my wedding and the girls loved it!
Christina English On Wednesday, March 7 at 2:05 pm
I love wedding paraphernalia on etsy….I'm happily married, but it makes me want to plan a wedding! I just started dabbling into homemade goods for weddings. A client of mine asked for a bunch of products for her wedding and I excepted the challenge:) Flower girl dress and flower girl hair pin, garter set, bridesmaids gifts (half aprons), and bride's hair accessory!
The Crafty Wify On Wednesday, March 7 at 4:33 pm
Oh so pretty! Love the stud earrings.:)
Amanda R. S. On Wednesday, March 7 at 4:49 pm
I'm so glad you posted this! I looked through the store and found the perfect necklace for my bridesmaids.
Belle On Thursday, March 8 at 10:27 am
Very plain and boring, I think. these are childish and exceedingly simple to make. And when will these Etsy sellers ever get tired of the stupid little brass bird charms on EVERYTHING?!?
Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise) On Thursday, March 8 at 2:32 pm
Woohoo, these beautiful baubles are absolutely fantastic. This Ozark Farm Chick loves 'em all…I covet them and bet I'd do 'em proud. :o)
Yep….diggin' for the old debit card right now, gotta go shoppin'…can't wait….wouldn't be prudent!!!! Heeehehehehe!!!!
God bless and have a fabulously blessed and beautiful day from the wonderful hills and hollers of the magnificent Missouri Ponderosa. :o)
Shhhhhhhhh….don't tell Farm Boy ya'll…."K"????
Shari Lynne @ Faith Filled Food for Moms On Thursday, March 8 at 3:47 pm
These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! and not just for weddings..love it!
Simone Green On Monday, March 12 at 12:38 pm
All pieces are absolutely wonderful. I have an old bowl and plate that my Grandmother gave me. It sits on my dresser and I dangle earrings from the bowl just like in the picture. I keep my rings on the plate below, and bracelets in the bowl itself.
Ann W On Monday, March 12 at 12:38 pm
Long-time "lurker" and new poster here! I love your website, adore your recipes, and covet your kitchen!
Aaaand….you always find the most beautiful things on Etsy! My pocketbook is not very happy, but I am!
Thanks for all you do!
Janell On Monday, March 12 at 8:46 pm
Love this jewelry and had to update my Etsy! Thanks for sharing!!
NancyPC On Wednesday, March 14 at 1:26 am
Ree! This was first time I went on your website. I record your show each weekend. Love! So I thought I'd check out your website and too much money later….Thank you so much for all the great info and stories. I can't wait to see you on the chew tomorrow!
Amanda On Thursday, March 15 at 12:16 am
to those who may be allergic to certain metals, you can coat the ear wires/ear posts with clear nail polish, it creates a barrier, just a suggestion for those wanting to wear copper, the jewelry is beautiful, btw!
judyktw On Friday, March 16 at 4:57 pm
These are beautiful! !Wish I had one of every one!!!
Deb On Tuesday, March 20 at 2:50 pm
Our son called one day and said that he was getting married in 10 days and hoped we could be there. I said Are you kidding? I wouldn't miss this for the world. (He's 31 and they have been together 11 years.) They married in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota at Roughlock Falls in Spearfish Canyon with our immediate family and her immediate family sharing in the day, and the weekend. I'm sure our loving Father in heaven was there to witness their promises and we did so much enjoy each other's company for 3 days without the stress of the wedding plans. Neither of them were looking forward to being the center of attention at a big ceremony so this fitted them perfectly.
Cindi On Friday, March 23 at 11:43 am
I love the floral ones! They remind me of a chipped pair from my grandmother's jewelry box. I'm getting married in August, in the pasture "back behind where the falling down shed used to be" on my fiance's parents' farm. We're getting together all the people we love to witness the creation of a new family, but also to witness us becoming members of each other's families. We're planning the ceremony to include the traditional vows between each other, as well as each other's families, "to love, honor, and cherish this family, as one born into it would" It's our big day, but our relationship doesn't exist in a vacuum, and it's our family's big day too. It's the day my mom marries off her youngest daughter, and my mother-in-law-to-be marries off her youngest son. It's the day my niece gets to be a princess, and my sister gains a brother. It's not just about me.
Nurse Alicia On Monday, March 26 at 12:50 am
Oh PW, you did it again! I want/need/have to have a pair of the Creamy Ivory Flower Bouquet Earrings! I must say you and I have the same style=) Must be a red hair thang!
Kathy On Friday, June 1 at 7:13 pm
It all looks so beautiful!

Travis Silvers, Jay Fosle, and Erik Simonson all want to represent Duluth in the Minnesota legislature. They're vying for the 7B House spot.
Fosle, who's running as an independent and as a write-in candidate, is a city councilor and school district employee.
Simonson is the DFL endorsed candidate, and an assistant fire chief. His name will be on the ballot, after the DFL party petitioned the Minnesota Supreme Court.
And Silvers is the Republican running in the race. He said he's an independent contractor, whose wife runs a licensed day care.
When asked about addressing unemployment, both Fosle and Silvers focused a bit on mining.
Silvers said, "We go ahead and work with businesses. We need to tell PolyMet they're welcome here. And not send them the wrong message about regulations."
Fosle said he thinks there needs to be upgrades to infrastructure, because businesses won't want to invest and create jobs if they can't build on good infrastructure.
And Simonson said the focus needs to be on education as well, so we can invest in our workforce.
And when it comes to cuts to Local Government Aid, Simonson said we need to get more money flowing from St. Paul. "We need to have the discussion about where the monies need to be funneled."
Fosle said that Duluth has a spending problem, and we need to budget better to meet the dollars we have come to expect from state aid.
And Silvers asked the question, "Why are we spending so much money, if our local tax base cannot support it?"
Rep. Kerry Gauthier is not seeking re-election.

ELON, N.C. — Carly Rae Jepson's music video "Call me maybe" has been watched nearly 100,000,000 times on YouTube. It has sparked elaborate, choreographed parodies around the country, and now an Elon graduate is using that same tune to stand out to potential employers.
"I figured, I really have nothing else to do — except applying for jobs," said Grace Sweeney, "I might as well spend an afternoon creating a video that was funny and kind of showed what I was capable of doing."
"I have a bachelors degree, Elon University, journalism with a minor in theatre arts, worked on Phoenix 14, won a college emmy," sang Sweeney, in the viral video.
Sweeney is trying to break into the entertainment news business. She just moved from the Piedmont back home with her parents in a suburb of Chicago.
While Sweeney doesn't have any job prospects yet, she has gotten a lot of attention on social media.
"This market is really tough… being creative, showing that you're outgoing and doing something different, employers do think it's interesting and do admire that," said Sweeney.
The Executive Director of the Elon Career Center isn't surprised Sweeney made this video.
"This is pretty typical of Elon students. They think outside of the box. How can I make an impact? What are the types of things I can do to get noticed. The economy is throwing up a roadblock. What are some other ways I can get in touch… network myself and get a job," said Tom Vecchione.
Nearly half of all Elon students find a job right after graduation. A quarter of them go on to grad school.
"We're seeing that the market is not as bad as you may be hearing," said Vecchione.
Even so, Sweeney is doing everything she can to stand out.
"I swear I look great on the tv, but here's my resume, employ me maybe," she sang.
Sweeney also included a link to her actual video resume on YouTube along with her contact information.

Diamonds were up in London this weekend, where Jay-Z and Rihanna played headlining sets at BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekend. On Saturday night, the Roc boss wowed the 50,000-deep festival audience with a set that included a surprise appearance by M.I.A., a Watch The Throne detour with Kanye West (much to the enjoyment of Beyoncé, who was caught moshing along to "Ni**as In Paris"), and a performance of "Run This Town" with his onetime protégée.
On Sunday, Rihanna closed the festival with a spectacular set of her own. On an Egyptian-themed stage and in cut-off fishnets and a leather jacket, RiRi surprised the crowd by bringing back Jay – in a black leather Brooklyn Nets cap — out for three songs at the end of her set. They did a reprise of "Run This Town," and then gave "Talk That Talk" its live debut, before launching into their now-classic hit "Umbrella." This run of songs, spanning Jay-Z's 2009 Blueprint 3 to Rihanna's current Talk that Talk to 2007's Good Girl Gone Bad really goes to show just how deep that Barbadian star's catalog goes at this point. "The Roc is in the building, and we love you so damn much," she said, thanking the umbrella-baring audience. After delivering his verse, Jay slipped off and Rihanna sent fans home with "We Found Love" and a fireworks show. It's safe to say, not Roc fan left disappointed.
Lucky for you, if you, like us, did not make it across the pond for this star-studded fest, all the sets are available for viewing online. Watch below!

text: Equivoque (126) Rouge Allure Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium pink with soft, warm undertones and lightly frosted finish. It had semi-sheer color coverage; for a Rouge Allure, it seemed rather under-pigmented. It wore for three hours, and it was a little drying on me. Givenchy Rose d'Exception (206) (LE, $36.00) is lighter. Urban Decay Fiend (P, $22.00) is pinker. Urban Decay Rush (P, $22.00) is also pinker. Revlon Pink Truffle (P, $7.49) is darker.

The world's population is experiencing an exponential demographic growth, it should be more than 9 billion people by 2050. This development will require necessarily immense needs in housing and infrastructures. The developing countries are the most affected by this problem. Science building which includes Science Materials for construction and construction technologies are likely to meet the needs of sustainable development. The approach is interdisciplinary and has to be more innovative. Research binders can afford to build new constructive horizons that are respectful of the environment, human conditions and earth.
The International Congress on Materials & Structural Stability CMSS-2013, will bring together international scientific community, academics and practitioners, researchers and students. The conference will provide an opportunity to discuss and share recent advances in both research and practice about all aspects of innovation and reuse in civil engineering and building materials.
General sessions, Special sessions, plenary lectures performed by world renowned academics, keynot presentations intended to specific industrial innovations, oral communications and posters, cover a wide variety of topics of main materials and diagnostics of civil engineering, building, structures and geotechnics.

Folks Good Morning! Today marks my introductory blog post for Bitch, a publication I have such admiration and appreciation for, it has taken me several months to settle on what I might write about that would be worthy of the association. I decided to discuss my travels and travails as a touring musician, with a focus on the women's advocacy work with which I am involved. There will also be time for stories. An example: one time before a show in Shreveport, LA. a man at the bar asked me if I would go to a motel with him and "that hooker lookin' lady over there" and smoke a doobie and have a threesome because she liked Asian people. COMPLETELY UNRELATED: I am so pleased to announce the debut of our music video directed by Dianna Agron (Quinn of Glee). We gave the exclusive premiere to Oxfam America in hopes we might draw more attention to their work overcoming poverty and social injustice. Right now they are working on promoting a climate change bill that supports the world's poorest and most vulnerable in adapting to and surviving the effects of climate change. Find out more and watch the video after the jump!
Sometimes a simple acknowledgment of douchery just isn't enough.
Sometimes you have to step back and marvel at how consistent, how
dedicated, how impressively shameless a person's commitment to being a
total asshole is. And that's why Bitch has decided it's time to start
recognizing those individuals as the All-Star douchebags they are.
Practically, it just makes sense: We plan to be awarding Douchebag
Decrees for many years to come, and there are some people it would just
be easier to mention once, acknowledging that not only have they
already amassed an impressive body of douchebaggery, they will surely
keep it up for the foreseeable future. It's in this spirit
that we give a nod today to the lifetime douchechievements of Mrs.
Caitlin Flanagan: author, columnist, wife, mother, professional scold,
and 24-karat-gold douchebag.
If you haven't gotten the Action issue of Bitch yet, or if for some bizarre reason you're not a subscriber, here's three offerings from the magazine on our website. Read 'em as a break from shorter pieces on the web, post 'em to your various Twitter-book-pages, and leave your insightful comments, and all that fun tech-y stuff you can't do with a paper copy.

EcoCar: The NeXt Challenge
The United States Department of Energy has joined forces with General Motors (GM), Natural Resources Canada, and other sponsors to produce EcoCAR: The NeXt Challenge.
For 19 years, the Department of Engineering held advanced vehicle technology competitions. EcoCAR is an expansion of these competition efforts.
The NeXt Challenge is a three-year competition where engineering students design and build advanced vehicles while minimizing environmental impact. Goals of the challenge are to advance the level of vehicle performance while reducing petroleum consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. California's zero-emissions vehicle regulation (ZEV) is another problem teams will address in the competition.
Teams from across the nation will compete to demonstrate the real-world performance of each vehicle and to discover a sustainable transportation future. By the end of the three-year competition, teams will have composed fully-developed vehicles equivalent to prototypes ready for a production decision.
Through EcoCAR, students gain knowledge and experience in engineering helping them to rapidly develop critical-thinking and teamwork skills. EcoCAR hopes to produce the next generation of leaders in the automotive industry.
Texas Tech University's Team
Texas Tech's team members are working through the Advanced Vehicle Engineering Laboratory, which is run by the Mechanical Engineering and the Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments.

Editorial: Corpus Christi ISD should go for the plan with six high schools
CORPUS CHRISTI - Hindsight isn't being kind to the idea of using Carroll High School for something other than a high school. That was the plan in 2010, when Corpus Christi Independent School District voters approved a bond to build a new high school. Enrollment projections have changed rapidly and dramatically since. It looks like CCISD will need all six high schools rather than turning Carroll into a consolidated middle school and calling the new school Carroll High School.

NYFF. Serbis."To my knowledge, Serbis is the first film to equate third-world life in the late capitalist era to squatting in a rundown porn palace," writes Kevin B Lee in Slant. "Mike Judge, who predicted in Idiocracy that Starbucks will one day sell handjobs, would feel thoroughly validated to see the goings on in the Family Theater, the last of a Filipino theater chain run by a family that's as defunct as its business.... Absurdly comic and harrowingly explicit, Serbis feels too surreal and conceptual to be taken as docu-verisimilitude, but it needn't settle for such conventions when every frame is alive, breathing dank sweat and sighing desperation. This house of sin and cinema runs by its own rules." Updated. "When craft fails and a script is mostly a shamble of ideas, it is the details of a film that can catch fire," writes Daniel Kasman in the Auteurs' Notebook. "Why does this pornography theater also have an unadvertised restaurant-in-miniature working out of the family's own kitchen table? I have no idea, but it's the kind of information - random, strangely gratifying, and rooted in the small things of life - that makes a film like Serbis tolerable." "I found it to be a bore and longed for a William T Vollmann book," writes Ed Champion. "The film's problem is not just that we have nobody to really care about, but that there is simply no contextual investigation into the realities that keep these characters toiling in a porn theater." Not so for Jürgen Fauth: "Through some emphatic magic of cinema, what should be sordid and revolting (and apparently shocked critics in Cannes) somehow becomes inviting. Like the streets that surround the theater, Serbis teems with life." Earlier: Reviews from Cannes. Update: "Revolving around the titular theme of service - from city's past history of entertaining locally stationed American servicemen (an idea that is reinforced in the appearance of biracial characters in the film), to the Pineda family's continued dedication to the movie house despite personal conflicts and petty jealousies, to young men hustling gay patrons in its dark aisles - [director Brillante] Mendoza parallels the plight of the Pineda family with the dilapidated movie theater," writes Acquarello. "Framed against recurring images of interconnected, labyrinthine stairs, the juxtaposition reflects the constant struggle between old world values and harsh economic reality, dignity and survival, culture and commercialism."

Can't we move on from marijuana?
I think we've all had enough press coverage of the marijuana issue in Colorado. May we please have a day off from having to have it rammed down our throats? It seems that the primary focus of the news media these days is marijuana. In Monday's Gazette there were two marijuana related articles on the front page!

GO Team 2014 - Team Leaders
Major: Hospitality Industry ManagementMinor: French StudiesYear: JuniorHometown: San Pedro, CA
"I decided on majoring in Hospitality management because I have always been drawn to the industry. The hospitality industry is all about enhancing the guest's experience whether it be in hotels, restaurants, or entertainment. What I love about being a hospitality major is that there are so many opportunities in San Francisco to get hands-on experience in the industry while working in one of the most dynamic cities in the world."
Major: Hospitality Industry ManagementYear: JuniorHometown: Ontario, CA
"I started off as a Psychology major and had been set on becoming a family lawyer. Soon enough I realized I wasn't as passionate about it as I once thought. Once I started getting involved at USF, I discovered my skills, my passions, and a better idea of the person I wanted to be in the world. After almost a year of "figuring it out" I came across Hospitality Management which brought out the best in me while still challenging me every day."
Major: Communication StudiesYear: JuniorHometown: Ventura, CA
"What surprised me the most was how much I have learned about myself. Between the friends I've made, the experiences and cultures I have been exposed to, or even the struggles I've faced, all have taught me valuable life lessons that I am thankful for."
Major: International StudiesMinor: Latin American StudiesYear: JuniorHometown: SeaTac, WA
"I came to USF because of a certain department, but later realized that it wasn't for me. I took a challenging politics class my first semester of my sophomore year to cover my Cultural Diversity core, and realized that I was more interested in that class than my major classes."
Major: KinesiologyMinor: Health Studies, Child and Youth Studies and African American StudiesYear: JuniorHometown: Atlanta, GA
"My most memorable experience at USF thus far would be my attendance at the Lyricist Lounge events held once a month on the University Center's 4th floor. At this event, students are allowed to sign up and share poetry, art, music, or whatever they feel like sharing. It's such an accepting, loving, and supporting environment. It always allows students to truly be open and release whatever emotions they are feeling whether that be stress, joy, sorrow, love, etc. Events such as this brings such a sense of community between students from all different walks of life together."
GO Team 2014 - Returning Orientation Leaders
Major: KinesiologyMinor: GerontologyYear: JuniorHometown: Gardena, CA
"It still amazes me that of all the different cultures and backgrounds of everyone that goes through college, you are still able to find someone that has the same interests as you. In such a big group of people, everyone is treated like a family at some point and that is what makes college such a great experience."
Major: PoliticsMinor: SpanishYear: JuniorHometown: San Diego, CA
"One thing everyone should do in San Francisco is not just do one thing. San Francisco is a huge city filled with so many different cultures, districts and foods. I think it is important for us as students living in this city to take advantage of our four years living here and try and experience new things. Always explore!"
Major: MarketingYear: JuniorHometown: Shanghai, China
Most Memorable USF experience so far: "living in the Gillson Hall during freshman year."
Major: PsychologyMinor: NeuroscienceYear: JuniorHometown: Norwalk, CA
"I think everyone should be a tourist their freshman year! Go and take selfies with the Golden Gate Bridge! Take a trolley! Take a picture with the hearts located in Union Square and write in the caption: 'I left my heart in San Francisco.' It's a lot of fun being a tourist, especially if it's your first time in the city!"
Major: DesignMinor: DanceYear: JuniorHometown: Castro Valley, CA"Being the Event Chair for Relay For Life last semester was definitely one of my biggest accomplishments. We raised over $23,000 for the American Cancer Society and had tons of fun doing it!"
GO Team 2014 - New Orientation Leaders
Major: Media StudiesMinor: Latin American StudiesYear: SophomoreHometown: La Crescenta, CA
"My favorite thing about USF is how diverse the school is. I grew up in a town where there was hardly any diversity, but when I came to USF I was able to find amazing people of diverse identities that I could identify with. The school provided me with opportunities to join organizations like Latinas Unidas and Black Student Union where I could interact with people of diverse backgrounds and share different experiences. More than anything I appreciate the diversity of the campus."
Major: NursingYear: SophomoreHometown: Honolulu, HI
"My favorite extracurricular experience is the annual Barrio Festival organized by one of the largest student organizations here in USF, Kasamahan. Putting this show together required months of hard work and determination and sleepless nights, but it was definitely worth it to show what you've been practicing for on stage. It was my first time performing hip-hop choreography as well as Filipino cultural dance choreography and I loved every minute of it."
Major: BiologyYear: JuniorHometown: San Diego, CA
"My favorite place on campus is Gleeson Plaza. This is the center of campus where most of activities and events are held. It is a beautiful spot right out in front of the church where many people lay out on the grass, or participate in activities such as frisbee or spike ball with friends. Whenever I am out there I am in awe of how beautiful the campus is."
Major: MarketingMinor: Public RelationsYear: JuniorHometown: Portland, OR
"My biggest piece of advice to new students is to take advantage of the city of San Francisco. In such a diverse city like San Francisco, you are guaranteed to find your niche and feel at home."
Major: PoliticsMinor: Legal Studies and Philippine StudiesYear: JuniorHometown: Fullerton, CA
"This past March I was lucky enough to take part in the first ever Vitality showcase, a contemporary dance recital. It was my first time back on a real stage since high school so being able to relive all that dance means to me was a truly amazing experience. Furthermore, it was great to be able to work with different people and dancers from all different backgrounds. These people have become my family and without them that night would not have been possible."
Major: Media StudiesYear: SophomoreHometown: Chicago, IL
"My favorite extracurricular experience would have to be being an ambassador for the office of admissions! I love talking to students and their families, trying to ease their concerns, answer questions, but most importantly, learn about them. I love people and so being able to talk to people for my job makes me so happy. Not to mention, the team of people working in the admissions office is so kind and just a great group of people who are very reliable and always willing to help you out."
Major: NursingYear: SophomoreHometown: Orange County, CA
"My favorite think about USF is the endless opportunities and clubs that we offer. I love that you can join many different types of organizations to really get out of your shell and discover yourself."
Major: AdvertisingYear: SophomoreHometown: Orange County, CA
"Advocacy, outreach, networking, and collaborating are some key words that come to mind when I think of ASUSF Senate which makes it my favorite experience here."
Major: PoliticsMinor: Legal StudiesYear: SophomoreHometown: Las Vegas, NV
"Be open to new experiences and try everything that USF offers. At first students maybe scared to try new things and be themselves because they are scared of what other will think of them, but be open and everything will fall into place."
Major: PhilosophyYear: JuniorHometown: Seattle, WA
"I went on one of the Outdoor Adventures at the beginning of my freshman year and I am still friends with some the other people that went on that trip. We went surfing in Santa Cruz and it was probably one of the best days I've had at USF."
Major: ChemistryYear: SophomoreHometown: Tacoma, WA
"My favorite place on campus is the Lo Schiavo Science Center. The building is beautiful, and is a great place to study or just hang out. The building has a bunch of study areas with surprisingly comfortable furniture. And when studying, many of the walls double as whiteboards, so you can write on them when you need to visualize concepts or do work."
Major: NursingYear: JuniorHometown: Huntington Beach, CA
"My favorite extracurricular experience has been being a team member of the USF Spirit Squad. I get to be surrounded by intelligent and charismatic women who share my passion of performing."
Major: UndeclaredYear: SophomoreHometown: Eastvale, CA
"Get ready for the overall moving in and seeing familiar faces from the Official Facebook page and having the courage to interact and make friendships and connections that will last for the next four years and even the rest of your life."
Major: PsychologyMinor: CommunicationsYear: SophomoreHometown: San Antonio, TX
"Be ready to balance. Being a college student is very different from being a high school student; you are about to be your own boss. What you do with you time is entirely up to you, and that power can change your life forever. If you learn to balance your classes with extracurriculars and your social life from the beginning, things will be much easier for you! And the best part is, being in a city like San Francisco opens up so many more opportunities for you. Start managing your time and taking advantage of what the school and city have to offer you!"
Major: EnglishMinor: PoliticsYear: JuniorHometown: Long Beach, CA
"My favorite place on campus is Welch Field because it's the perfect place to lay in the sun and read a good book, or just sit around with your friends."
Major: AdvertisingMinor: Media StudiesYear: SophomoreHometown: Elk Grove, CA
"My favorite thing about USF is definitely the basketball games! All of the students really do come together to cheer on the Dons, and I love all the chants and school spirit that is presented at the games, especially when we play our rivalries like Gonzaga. The student section is the best seat in the house!"
Major: PoliticsMinor: Public Service and Community EngagementYear: SeniorHometown: Honolulu, HI
"What surprised me most about college was that "non-class time" was not "free time." I remember registering for classes over the summer prior to the arrival of my Freshmen year. There were large gaps in between those classes and I thought it would be great because I would have social and nap time all at once. Little did you know, that was the time spend on meeting with professors, running errands and re-studying a lesson from the night before so you can Ace that test."
Major: NursingYear: JuniorHometown: San Francisco, CA
"My best USF experience so far has been being in my sorority Delta Zeta. It has given me many opportunities from leadership and career opportunities, to fun volunteer and city exploration opportunities."
Major: BiologyYear: SophomoreHometown: Indio, CA
"My favorite thing about USF is the way the city of San Francisco shapes ones education and college experience."
Major: Business MarketingMinor: PsychologyYear: JuniorHometown: Los Angeles, CA
"I decided on my major based on what I love to do in life and what my passions are. I'm a very business minded person but I'm also an individual who loves visual arts and fashion. What I could see myself doing in the future would be working in the Marketing, Public Relations, and Events Planning field for the fashion or media industry."
Major: Business AdministrationYear: SophomoreHometown: Pawtucket, RI
"I wanted to major in something that I can see myself still doing and happy 25 years down the road."
Major: Sociology & EducationYear: JuniorHometown: Castroville, CA
"In regards to academia, do not hesitate to seek your professors for help! We are so lucky to be attending a university where our professors know our names and are always so willing to help out; take full advantage of it! Go out and explore. Try not to stay in your dorm room all day. This is a truly wonderful school, and city with so many things to offer. Make the most of your time here."
Major: Media StudiesYear: SophomoreHometown: Framingham, MA
"Remember that the magic happens outside of your comfort zone! Be open to new things and know that everyone is just as nervous and excited as you are!"
Major: PsychologyMinor: Honors Program in the HumanitiesYear: JuniorHometown: Claremont, CA
"I'm a psychology major, but I got into the school as an economics major. I decided economics wasn't for me within the first couple of weeks, and went undeclared, and didn't declare psychology until the end of my freshman year, because of one professor in particular. I've always been interested in why we think, feel, and act the way we do, but never took the time to study it. So I decided to take General Psychology (it also counts for a Core requirement). My professor was so well-prepared, understanding, and excited to be teaching us that I became excited myself and decided to join the field. I don't know if she's going to be teaching on the Hilltop campus anymore, but if you ever get the chance to, take a class with Professor Saralyn Ruff. She's a life-changer for sure."
Major: NursingYear: SophomoreHometown: Davis, CA
"My favorite place on campus would have to be the Lone Mountain Campus. It has amazing views, great food, and, as a resident of its dorms, I can say without a doubt that it's the best place on campus."
Major: Business AdministrationYear: SophomoreHometown: Foster City, CA
"Eat as much food as you possibly can! San Francisco is filled with so many restaurants, there's no way you could get bored. Try eating at a different place every time you go out and see how many restaurants you can check off your list!"
Major: SociologyMinor: AdvertisingYear: JuniorHometown: Wyckoff, NJ
"My favorite thing about USF has to be their teaching staff. All my professors are absolutely amazing and have helped me so much as a transition into the real world."
Major: Communication StudiesYear: JuniorHometown: Los Angeles, CA
"The thing that surprised me about college was that I found such a supportive group of friends who are always there for me. I didn't believe I would have such a strong bond with people on campus but I found a second family on campus and I know you will too!"
Major: Entrepreneurship & AccountingYear: JuniorHometown: Qingdao, China
"My favorite extracurricular experience is playing music with the marching band! It's where I started my freshmen year with and I still love it with the same amount of passion! The band plays at all basketball games (my favorite) and that's where you can experience the school spirit!"
Major: SociologyMinor: Psychology & Business AdministrationYear: SophomoreHometown: San Rafael, CA
"I am currently in the process of transitioning from Undeclared Business major to either Sociology or Psychology. I have decided either Psychology or Sociology because either of them would be perfect for my career goals. My goal is to work for a nonprofit in the Bay Area that focuses on food programs and support services to the homeless, critically ill, and families in crisis."

text: Alvin Reid hosts with Brenda Talent, Bill McClellan, John Hancock and D.J. Wilson. Panelists discuss topics including employees involved in the Fox School District scandal keeping their jobs; Tony Dungy's comments about Michael Sam; Kirkwood School District mandating that Riverview Gardens transfer students pay full tuition; a young man sentenced to 37 years in prison for non-violent crimes; the State Board of Higher Education ruling that children of illegal immigrants do not have to pay community college tuition; the St. Louis Rams franchise.


text: Promises to be one of the toughest games of the season. Chelsea coming back into form at the wrong time for us, Villas-Boas seems to have abandoned the high line that Silva, Nasri, and Kun would have loved to play against. Luiz suspended may favour them more than us as he lacks discipline and leaves spaces. Would take a draw right now but the most important thing is to avoid a loss, a draw keeps us 3pts ahead of the rags with massively superior goal difference. We're in our toughest part of the season now and are doing okay so far (draw against Liverpool, beat Bayern, beat Arsenal in Carling Cup), plus once we've left Stamford Bridge on Monday night will have played all the top teams away in the league except Arsenal, with all of them having to come to the Etihad next where we are unbeaten for nearly a year now. Worth noting that United still have to play Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, and us away. If we win then we really are rolling, we'll still have the 5pt lead going into the Arsenal game next week. I think Chelsea will be in desperation mode to keep up though so expect a high quality performance from them, and hope we match that. We've had plenty of time for the players to rest for a change and have another five days after that before Arsenal, then the ridiculous fixture congestion peaks.

In this course, author David Diskin lays out a practical framework for building and delivering business presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint, and covers tips and tricks for controlling elements in slide decks. This course demonstrates how to engage an audience, present data in meaningful ways, incorporate gestures, and manage question-and-answer sessions. The course also includes tips on creating photo slide shows and utilizing keyboard and mouse tricks.
The next tip I wanted to share is going to be a snap. We'll adjust the transition between our slides in the presentation. Not having any transition at all is abrupt and jarring to an audience. Take a look at how this appears. The animation helps some but the instant movement from one slide to the next doesn't look very professional. In just a few clicks, we'll modify the entire presentation to have a nice, subtle transition that eases the switch from one slide to the next.
Let's access the Transitions tab. Here I have a number of different kinds of transitions. Fade, Push, Wipe, Uncover, and more. In fact, if I click the down arrow or the Chevron, I can see there's actually quite a few. We want to apply a subtle transition that doesn't distract our audience. Some of my favorites are Fade, Push, and Wipe. For something a little bit more modern, I've been using Gallery.
The other choices are fun to try out but most just don't convey the level of professionalism that you want. Once you've selected your transition, don't forget to adjust the Duration. Some transitions take too long, in my opinion, and need to be sped up a bit. We'll change this one from 1.6 seconds down to just 0.75. Let's hit Preview and see how fast that is. Much better. Finally, we need to apply the transition and duration to every slide in our presentation.
We'll click Apply To All to make that happen. If we forget this step, only the current slide is affected. Now, when I play the slideshow-- I'll hit the shortcut key F5-- I can test out my transitions in full screen exactly as the audience would see them. With a subtle transition like this, it will keep the audience's attention on me without distracting them as the slide changes.

Studio Description:
I have been working in clay for over 25 years. Throughout my career as a ceramic artist, I have always been a hand builder & started out making low fired jewelry & functional ware. Eventually I started working in the cone 5/6 range to create tiles & mosaics. Currently however, as a result of a personal spiritual experience, I began making these "animal totems" and in the process have learned a lot more about power animals and their medicine and how they can be guides for us in our daily lives. My work finally feels authentic and this is exciting.

Queens Library Architect
The New York Times gives an enthusiastic review to a starchitect's elaborate plan for a new Queens public library branch without any mention of what construction would cost or of the fact that this same Queens public library system has recently been claiming it has been so financial strapped that it has stopped buying any new books.
This is one of the quirks of municipal finance. New construction can be financed through tax-exempt municipal bonds, which bond underwriters like to issue because they collect fees. No one is financing book purchases with bonds, however. One result is the construction of fancy new library buildings by internationally famous architects, for a library system that claims it can't afford to fill the buildings with any new books.
At the very least, it's incongruous.

It is great fun to be part of the team developing the National Broadband Plan, notwithstanding the fact that I'm writing this at 10:45 pm at the FCC, waiting for a colleague to get ready so we can walk together to the Metro after a long day. But there are several reasons why this is a fun project:
First, we all realize the importance of what we are doing. Yes, it is important for people in corporations, for politicians, and for policy makers. But it is also important for our friends, neighbors, and families. We want them to be proud of what we do and its impact on the country and the people of the United States. And it is fun to work on something truly important.
Second, there is a healthy mix of analysis and vision across a broad variety of very important topics. And variety is the spice of life!
For example, about a week ago, I had a discussion about several econometric studies on the relationship between broadband adoption and economic growth, and how much of what is written on the topic is depressingly bad: my 11 year old knows that correlation is not causation, but some economists clearly don't! I'm looking forward to getting better information about the subject from our workshop on Wednesday of this week, entitled "Economic Growth, Job Creating, and Private Investment ."
Shortly after that discussion, I worked for a few hours on understanding the technological, regulatory, economic, and operational issues associated with ensuring that our first-responders have their communications needs met. I remembered the many hours I spent with Chiefs Hayden and Pfeiffer at the FDNY when we were working together to understand what happened on 9/11, and how they taught me to respect and value our firefighters and police officers (I am sure NYPD guys wont believe this, but it is true!). We'll be hearing more about the topic Tuesday morning at our workshop on Public Safety and Homeland Security, followed by an afternoon session on Energy, Environment and Transportation; a session on Thursday afternoon after the Commission meeting will devote more time to technology, applications and devices.
Later that afternoon, I participated in a panel about education and broadband. I could not stop thinking that every high school student in the U.S. should be able to watch the Feynman lectures on physics online (requires Silverlight 3.0) from their home as many times as needed until they truly understand why physics and math are both important and cool. Every parent should be able to look up their child's homework assignments for next week on the web. Every teacher should be able to access the best pedagogic content in the world to meet their student's needs. And ours kids must be able to go to school without carrying bags weighing 20lbs. How to get there is a great challenge, as broadband is actually just a small piece of this puzzle. We will be looking at a different facet of broadband and education Wednesday afternoon in a workshop on broadband's impact on job training programs
Finally, I had a two-hour meeting with Chairman Genachowski talking about the main policy issues we have identified so far in our work. He was deeply engaged and helped us frame and advance our thinking on many important questions.
The third reason why it is fun to work here is the quality of the people. There are really smart and dedicated folks in the FCC, with tremendous expertise in important policy issues, like Universal Service and the FCC's authority to remove or impose obligations like build-out requirements or incentives to drive efficient use of spectrum. And most have a great sense of humor, which one needs to be able to keep up the pace.
Well, time to go. Enjoy the workshops this week.
