|Please join us on 5/5 for a @105917944266111687812 HOA with Dr.@101190098041697372043, Professor of Neurobiology, Biomedical Engineering, Psychology, and Neuroscience at @116716695368502903076, and founder of Duke's Center for Neuroengineering. Dr. Nicolelis is a pioneer in neuronal population coding (simultaneously recording from hundreds to thousands of neurons), Brain Machine Interface (controlling robotic or avatar limbs with thoughts), neuroprosthetics (prosthetic limbs that directly communicate with sensory and motor cortices), and Brain to Brain Interface (tactile or visual information encoded by rat 1 is decoded by rat 2). Dr. Nicolelis has published over 200 peer-reviewed articles, with many of these publications appearing in high impact journals such as _Nature_, _Science_, and _Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences_ (see below for a short list of publications). More recently, Dr. Nicolelis' research made it possible for a quadriplegic child to use his mind to control a bionic exoskeleton and kickoff the opening game at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. RSVP "yes" to add this event to your calendar. We will open up the Q & A app so feel free to post your questions on this event post or by using the app during the hangout. *Relevant Links:* Faculty page: http://goo.gl/qs8NfM Lab page: http://www.nicolelislab.net 2012 Ted Talk: http://goo.gl/kxCxT8 2014 Ted Talk: http://goo.gl/23OqmV Book: http://goo.gl/x7Kg5J *Relevant Readings (see http://goo.gl/nQadag for a more exhaustive list):* Schwarz D, Lebedev MA, Tate A, Hanson T, Lehew G, Melloy J, Dimitrov D, Nicolelis MAL.

Scorpions are secretive, mysterious, and patient animals. What are they thinking as they wait for hours in their burrows? Although we can't answer that yet, we can use a trick called electrophysiology to listen in to their nerve cells and to get a sense of what they perceive. It looks like mad science, but I will lead you through the maze of equipment we use, demystifying the process and explaining how easy and useful it actually is. _Cara Shillington, PhD (Department of Biology, Eastern Michigan University)_ *Male versus wild: Radio-tracking tarantulas*. Despite their notoriety and popularity in the pet trade, surprisingly little is known about tarantulas in their natural environment. Where do they go and what do they do when they're free of the glassy confines of your home aquarium? I will discuss many aspects of their life history and behavior both in captivity and in the wild. Compared to most other arthropods, these animals are exceedingly long-lived (surviving 15 years or more in some cases). Females remain in burrows for much of their lives, but matu

This monthly hangout will start at 10:00 PM (EDT) on the second Wednesday of each month, and the main goal is to create a platform so researchers can get feedback on their _hot off the press_ research findings and discuss other issues in research, funding, and publishing. There are only two rules. First, to keep things moving, presentations cannot exceed one slide! Second, due to the 10 person limit of hangouts, all individuals who join the hangout will be expected to contribute to the discussion by presenting research or research related issues.

On The Shoulders of Giants
♀ A sepia print of an Indian woman, a Japanese woman and a woman from Syria, dated 1885. What do they have in common? Extraordinarily, each was the first licensed female medical doctor in their country of origin. They were trained at the Women's Medical College in Pennsylvania, the first of its kind in the country. This was a time before women had the right to vote. If they did attend college at all, it was at the risk of contracting "neuralgia, uterine disease, hysteria, and other derangements of the nervous system" (according to Harvard gynecologist Edward H. Clarke).

The Peacock Problem
'The sight of a feather in a peacock's tail, whenever I gaze at it, makes me sick!' So wrote Charles Darwin in a letter to his friend, expressing his frustration at not being able to explain how natural selection could drive the evolution of this extravagantly ornamental display. Not only was there an obvious lack of survival advantage to an awkwardly heavy appendage, it came with an energy cost and added vulnerability to predators. How then, did the peacock's tail evolve?
Once again, it was Darwin who came up with the idea of sexual selection, that depends, "not on a struggle for existence, but on a struggle between the males for possession of the females; the result is not death to the unsuccessful competitor, but few or no offspring".

Gene Drives: Green Signal or Back Seat?
What is the deadliest animal on earth? If you're thinking of the great white shark or a venomous snake, you could be wrong. Counting human deaths, it is the innocently named (Spanish for "little fly") mosquito. Millions, mostly children in third world countries, are killed or sickened each year by malaria, dengue, yellow fever and encephalitis caused by parasites and viruses that are transmitted by mosquito bites. This happens despite billions of dollars spent, years of research and potential cures ranging from vaccines and drugs to public health management.
Stop or Go, that is the Question: Imagine if the mosquito could kill the parasite before it has the chance to spread to its human victims. For example, the mosquito could be engineered to make antibodies against Plasmodium, killing the parasite s... more »

I am really worried about priorities..
❖ On a recent science post about the evolution of land plants, a community member worried: "what about poverty?? people are dying in hunger, lack of medical support, clean water and other simple things which can be fixed... but without fixing something for them we are trying to find water in Mars. I'm really worried about the priorities.."
❖ A similar comment lamented the cost of curiosity in the search for earth-like planets (http://goo.gl/9OUM0D). Physics professor Robert McNees had an awesome response:
❝ You posted your comment using technology that exists only because of a chain of discoveries and insights that began with fascination-driven research in the late 19th century.❞

Secret of Serotiny: In 1961, a fire destroyed 28,000 acres of forest in Montana. Since then, the lodgepole pine has established dominance over this vast acreage, with a density of tens of thousands of trees per acre. Yet, this pine normally does not spread its seed beyond a range of some 200 meters. How did the lodgepole pine achieve this remarkable biotic potential?
Its secret was serotiny: millions of seeds per acre were stored inside cones, high up at the canopy top of mature stands, for just this scenario. The heat of the fire melted the resin that kept the cones closed, releasing seeds to be carried by wind or gravity over several days, to land on burned but cooling ground. With... more »

Project 523: From Chinese Secrets to Nobel Gold
☯ On May 23, 1967 a secret military project was launched by the Chinese government. It was the height of the Vietnam war, and the communist north was losing more soldiers to the scourge of malaria than to the battlefield. An emergency plea was made to a powerful sympathizer, Chairman Mao Zedong, to find a cure. Code named Project 523 (after the date), more than 500 scientists were recruited from 60 military and civilian organizations, remarkably at the height of China's Cultural Revolution which closed universities and banished scientists and intellectuals. One group of scientists was tasked with searching through ancient Chinese records of herbal remedies.

Falafel Faves and Favism
★ I flagged the Palestinian taxi driver with some relief: the streets were deserted, the restaurants in the old city of Jerusalem were shuttered for Shabbat and I was growing increasingly peckish. After I convinced him, with some effort and considerable diplomacy, that I did not want a tour of Bethlehem, he admitted defeat with good humor and took me to a little Palestinian restaurant where I had the most delicious falafels- golden nuggets of chickpea goodness drizzled with tangy tahini atop mounds of fluffy pita bread, still warm from the oven.
★ Did you know that falafels were originally made from fava beans by the Egyptian Copts, who become vegans during Lent? But fava beans can trigger life-threatening anemia in a fraction of people of Mediterranean descent, including Jews, so chickpeas have been used as a safer replacement. Known as ... more »

The Greening of Greenhouse Gas
✿ It's a Gas: Driving through the Western Ghat mountains along the continental edge of the Deccan Plateau, I was charmed by this vista of sculpted terraces with verdant blades of rice emerging from submerged paddy fields. Little did I know then that paddy fields generate 50-100 million tonnes of methane each year, a potent greenhouse gas with 25 times the heat trapping potential of carbon dioxide. Although the flooded fields keep weeds at bay, microbes harbored under the warm, waterlogged soil feed on organic matter exuded by roots, releasing methane and accounting for about 20% of human-related production. In China, farmers have begun draining fields mid-season to interrupt methanogenic bacteria. But India is still responsible for nearly a third of the methane emissions.

Affairs of the Heart: Dr. Helen Taussig
❤ On a late November day in 1944, bright sunlight streamed upon the blue-tinged body of 18 month old Eileen Saxon, who was hovering near death. Born with a congenital heart defect that prevented her blood from being oxygenated by her lungs, she now weighed little more than 9 pounds. Across the ocean, World War II raged on, but at the +Johns Hopkins University hospital in Baltimore, another type of history was being made. Under the gaze of 706 doctors gathered around, Dr. Alfred Blalock meticulously rerouted an artery heading to the child's arm, back to the lungs giving the oxygen-starved blood a second chance of rejuvenation. The anesthesiologist cried out in astonishment as Eileen's lips turned from blue to a healthy red. That was the start of a successful procedure that would cure thousands of "blue babies" in the ... more »

Coral Cohabiters: Time for a Status Update?
● Symbiosis derives from the terms sym for together, and biosis for life. The coral reef appears to be a poster child for a lifetime of togetherness. The soft tissues of coral polyps are embedded with hundreds of single-celled, free-swimming dinoflagellates, captured from nutrient poor, crystal clear tropical waters. Photosynthesis by dinoflagellates provides 95% of the organic food used by the polyps. In return, the dinoflagellates are housed in a safe environment where their hosts supply them with carbon dioxide and minerals needed for photosynthesis.
● Friends with Benefits: Like a Facebook status, the relationship of coral symbionts is complicated. Clearly, the coral benefits: oxygen and sugars produced by trapped dinoflagellates enable these corals to grow as much as three times faster as those without symb... more »

Screws with a Twist
● Secrets of the Silkworm: Did you know that the silkworm was domesticated in China over 5,000 years ago? Legend has it that the Empress Lei Zhu was drinking tea under a tree when a cocoon fell into the hot beverage, unraveling silken threads to reveal the Bombyx caterpillar within. Silk making was a deeply guarded secret until 550 AD, until Christian monks successfully smuggled silkworms out of China in a hollow stick and introduced them to the rest of the world. Today, there are thousands of genetically inbred and engineered strains, all completely dependent on humans for survival!
● From Steel to Silk: Fractured bones are often held in place by metal screws and plates until they heal. Removing the metal carries unnecessary risks, which can be averted using biocompatible materials that are naturally absorbed into the body over time. Silk is s... more »

Daffodils and Dementia
✿ It's spring time in Maryland, and in the words of the poet Wordsworth, my heart dances with the daffodils. Through the long winter, I conjured up memories of these cheerful blooms in my mind:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
✿ But an estimated 44 million people world wide who suffer from Alzheimer's disease are robbed of their memories by a progressive dementia. As the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S., Alzheimer's cannot be cured or prevented. One of the handful of drugs available to improve memory loss in patients is galantamine, which is extracted from the leaves and bulbs of daffodils (Narcissus) and snowdrops (Ga... more »

Dotting the I
Colorful bindis are being handed out to tribal women in India by a philanthropic organization. When worn on the forehead, each dot delivers a daily dose of 100-150 micrograms of iodine (chemical symbol: I) which is absorbed by the skin. At least 70 million Indians suffer from iodine deficiency disorders. Sure, oral supplements or iodized salts are more efficient, but the tribal women won't take them. The bindis are a socially more acceptable, and creative, approach to dietary compliance!
Bad Air: Iodine deficiencies were described by ancient Roman writers and medieval travelers, who would encounter entire villages in the Alps or southern Europe struck by cretinism. Thought to be due to "bad air" or "stagnant water" in the mountains, we now know that dwarfism, deformed bones and intellectual disability are due to lack of io... more »

Art or Science?
Are these pastel fractals the creation of an avant garde artist from some postmodern cubism movement? You may be surprised to learn that these are high resolution images of bacterial populations growing on a petri dish!
◈ Bacterial Art: First, the familiar E. coli bacteria were genetically marked with differently colored fluorescent proteins before mixing together on an agar plate. Each rod-shaped bacterium grows by division to give a single file of cells that is sensitive to small mechanical forces from neighboring cells pushing and jostling against each other. The line of cells buckles in a way that is predicted by fractal mathematics. As the bacteria grow to form a confluent film, jagged boundaries emerge between differently colored clonal lines. Zooming in, the patterns are self-similar, repeating at scales from millimeters to micrometers! Mut... more »

Fixing a Hole: Better (Spider) Web Design
⎈ From tiny webs like the one "repairing" a hole in a leaf seen in the image, to giant orbs spanning 25 meters across rivers and lakes, the architecture of spider webs can teach us a thing or two about engineering. After all, spiders have been spinning silk for 400 milion years and now number at least 41,000 species spread out over every continent, including Antarctica. Each spider produces many different types of silk covering a range of mechanical properties: from the steely dragline silk in the radial strands to sticky capture silk that forms concentric circles in the web. Yet, only few spider silks have been studied, mostly at random, sometimes simply from the researcher's own backyard!

How to Boil Water
❉ In breaking news, scientists have figured out how to boil water - at least 3 times more efficiently and producing twice as much steam. Before you shake your fist at "wasteful research spending", this isn't really about your whistling tea kettle!
❉ Phase change heat transfer processes (boiling, condensation) are a big part of everyday technology from water purification and HVAC units, power plants and cooling electronics. When water boils, a thin layer of steam can coat the heated surface, insulating it and drastically cutting down on the efficient transfer of heat to liquid. This can lead to surface burnout and a destructive condition known as critical heat flux. What is needed is a surface that discourages the vapor from sticking and wicks in water to quickly re-wet the heated surface. To create a superhydrophilic

A plain white background makes photoshopping so much easier!
I think she's telling us she left a bright future behind her.
Yeah I'm pretty sure the boys in the Photo Shop Department worked overtime on this one.
5 year old photo maybe, THEN photoshopped?
They had to call four more artists from Industrial Light & Magic to finishin working on this pic. They had them working in shifts.
Looks like cream cheese.
Heheh They used a random pencil to make her *hint of boob* lines, and her supposed rack is considerably higher on her chest than possible. The result is her boobs look like they are growing in her arm pits. Although we have seen refund chasms like that on LeAnn Rimes and Tori Spelling.
With that much Photoshop, you could even make Brooke Hogan look like a girl.
You know how people often notice that old dog shit stopped being white? Apparently it was being saved up to make this.
Who is that on the cover?
This photo had to be taken 5 years ago because she hasn't been that skinny since she had her baby.
no, she looked good in 2010.
it looks like she has no tits and a butt the size of Kansas. isn't she known for her huge fake tits??? what's up with that.?
I don't think the latest celebrity diet trend, known as "blurring out the fat", is going to catch on.
Ecce Mulier!
Reverse bukkake — everywhere except her face.
Christina Aguilera, promoting the skills of someone with great Photoshop talent.
"What the Munchkins want to know is are you a good witch or a bad witch?"
All whited out so you can't see anything. Doesn't she have the balls to show us her stuff? Or perhaps this is because she actually has balls?
Looks like for Halloween she's dressing as the Angel of Mediocrity.
The slutty Angel of Mediocrity.

| Welcome to the Church of the Holy Comforter, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
I invite you to explore these pages and hopefully glean from them a sense of who we are. My family and I moved to Sumter in 2009 as I took the positon of Assistant Rector (Assistant Pastor in other traditions) in this parish. Yet over the years, I must admit that I have become rather biased in my opinion of this place and, more importantly, these people who have welcomed and loved my children, my wife, and I without fail and without hesitation. Since becoming Rector, my partiality has grown. For that reason, I invite you to come and see for yourself. Before that, I must confess to you what we are not. We are not perfect. In fact, Holy Comforter is a place where the broken find health, healing, and redemption in Jesus Christ. I believe we're not the only ones in search of those things. If any member of the staff or I can help in any way, all you need do is ask. Our door is wide open.
We are delighted God brought you here!
In the Love of Christ,

Social Media Madness - The Final Four

Facebook celebrated its fifth birthday last week with 150 million of its closest friends. Today, I give my gift to Facebook: four ways to make some big money this year.
It's a new year, which means it's time to raise a virtual glass within your social network and toast your collective social graphs for a great 2009. Here are seven things to look for this year.
Many companies still believe they need to get users into their prospecting databases in order to market to them. But businesses capture a lot more information via social media about their consumers than they've ever had before. Good businesses realize though, that the relationship still needs to be cultivated. Just like dating, companies need to learn how to court their customers in social networks.
E-mail has held on through the years as the King of the Internet. However, the new inbox is shifting toward social media.
Human beings long for a sense of community, like a charity pancake breakfast, and this isn't lost with social media. Starbucks, Ben & Jerry's and others gave freebies on Election Day -- did it work as well as fresh pancakes?
In the same way JFK benefitted from the emerging medium of television, Barack Obama was helped into the White House by the increasing popularity of social media. His appeal to younger audiences, and need to get exposure in a primary race against an established opponent led Obama to develop his online strategy. Businesses can learn from his campaign.
Social media is revolutionary. It allows CNN anchor Rick Sanchez to have a relationship with 30,000 people, and make a connection with them that can translate to other media. Companies need to relinquish the total control they've had and allow users, consumers, viewers, etc. to take their rightful ownership.
Election Day in the U.S. is fast approaching and it's anyone's guess who will win...or is it? Based on five key indicators on the Internet, maybe we already know who will next be sitting in the Oval Office. A look at these indicators shows how they can be applied to your business.
Using some past economic low times as historical guides, what can the online world expect in the coming months? One likely outcome is a permanent shift from traditional channels to online marketing. Yes, online marketing could reach the highest percentage of marketing spend sooner than any of us imagined.
Facebookers are annoyed that their beloved social network implemented a new design. But will their annoyance outweigh the value they get from using the product? Will Facebook's brand be damaged, or emerge stronger than ever?
The recently announced Google Insights tool provides unprecedented data on Google's user searches and trends. Here are three quick tips on how to leverage Google Insights, whether you're running a Presidential race or a brand marketing campaign.
It's understandable that an older-school company like NBC may get some things wrong, and rely on old metrics to judge success. But Google didn't exactly turn in a world-record performance for the Olympics either.
Often, millions of dollars are spent on tailoring a marketing message to a youth audience, and not enough is spent to tailor the actual product or service we're delivering. But marketers need only look to the simplicity of Facebook and Craigslist to see that success with young people doesn't need to come in a fancy package.
Facebook just posted a 40 percent increase in year-over-year traffic according to Hitwise. Here are the 4 best ways to leverage Facebook for your company.
While it's anyone's guess what will be rolled out at the f8 Facebook Developers Conference on July 23, the buzz is predicting an announcement of e-commerce and micro-payment capabilities. And once there's scale to the commercial transactions taking place on Facebook, then people will start searching for things rather than just people. Small businesses need to start paying attention.
A look at Google Trends comparative data can help guide companies in making strategic decisions. The same can be done in the political world, as McCain and Obama are trying to build up their respective "brands" in the eyes of voters.
It's an interesting marketing concept, but how do the Live Search results measure up to Google, the de-facto search engine standard? A test of product-based queries on each finds the results promising, but mixed.

The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority helps to ensure we preserve Indiana's housing through partnerships and grants.

You can understand why President Obama and congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle sought to cast their end-of-October budget deal in the best possible light. They avoided a potentially catastrophic national default. They reduced the possibility of a government shutdown. And they raised the debt ceiling until March 2017, taking that bargaining chip off the table until the next president is in the White House.
TELL CITY – Questions over the validity of some signatures in the ongoing legal challenge against Tell City's annexation efforts may be answered during a Dec. 10 hearing scheduled in Perry Circuit Court.
The hearing, which will begin at 1 p.m. and is open to the public, will focus on more than 100 names of remonstrators flagged by the county auditor's office months ago for various reasons, many of them over alleged inconsistencies in signatures.
By VINCE LUECKE
PERRY COUNTY – The approach of Election Day and Veterans Day also means another pending deadline for Perry Countians: paying fall installments of property taxes.
County Treasurer Judy Pund reminds taxpayers the deadline for fall payments is Tuesday, Nov. 10. Payments received after that date will be subject to a penalty.
Fall installments were included with tax notices that were mailed in the spring.
PERRY COUNTY – A pair of forums next week will give local candidates for city offices in Tell City and Cannelton an opportunity to speak on issues they believe are important.
Cannelton candidates are invited to attend a forum Tuesday evening, Oct. 13, in the city's council chambers, located in town hall in the lower level of the city library. The event will begin at 6 p.m.
Tell City candidates are invited to a 6 p.m. forum Thursday, Oct. 15, at the Tell City Depot.
TELL CITY – A new city park along Seventh Street could begin taking shape later this year and while it would likely be completed in phases as funding becomes available, Mayor Barbara Ewing predicted it will provide a new public gathering point along a revitalized corridor of the city.
TELL CITY – A last-minute compromise shifted the focus of a new recreational vehicle parking ordinance from when boats, campers and motor homes can be parked on Tell City's streets to one of how many can be parked in front of a home.
An ordinance approved last Monday will allow one boat, camper or motor home to be parked in front of a resident's home year-round. Additional boats and RVs will have to be parked off the street, either in a garage or yard or at an off-site storage area.
INDIANAPOLIS – State Sen. Erin Houchin (R-Salem) earned a perfect score on the Indiana Manufacturers Association's recently released legislative vote analysis, which ranks lawmakers based on their votes on measures that protect manufacturing jobs.
According to IMA, bills used in the report were selected based on the significant impact to the state's manufacturing community, including sales and income- tax relief, repeal of the common construction wage and a reform of the unemployment insurance system.

The Easter JournalThe Easter Journal8 years ago in Historical More Like This
April 23, 1916 Easter Sunday
My family found it interesting that this year my twentieth birthday coincided with the rising of our Lord. I didnt really think much of it. Perhaps I should have been somewhat proud of the similarity, but it wasnt exactly the most pressing issue on my mind. Father got me a present this year, just like he said he would. He spent nearly all of his money to buy me a Winchester 1897 12-gauge shotgun that was smuggled into the country.
It was hard to come by ever since those damned Brits put up the imported weapons ban. But Father didnt want me to be stuck with some German piece of junk like everyone else. He insisted on getting me something that was American-made. You know how hes obsessed with the Yanks. If he could, hed pack up everything we had and go right to America. Hell, he already considers himself one with that

Aerial Yoga for all sizes and ages
Hi, I'm Alyssa Konda. I'm a mom, a wife, a yoga studio owner and I work a full time job. I am constantly working so making time to become to toned, uber fit instructor that most people picture with yoga does't happen for me.
However, I see the value in getting time to work the body, the breath and the mind. Yoga can fulfill all of that and aerial yoga has a place for everyone.
I've shared a video fo a basic sun salutation. This was taken when we first opened aerial yoga in the studio back on 2012. Since then we have expanded to a second studio and have begun offering kid's Aerial, family aerial, low aerial, prenatal/gentle aerial, partner aerial, as well as the different levels of aerial yoga to expand your practice.
Just in 2014 we launched our Aerial Yoga Teacher Program. We are currently growing that into a full 100 hour training. You can find Level 1 and kids trainings already scheduled in spring.
Remind yourself that we are all made up of different sizes and experiences. That is why my passion for aerial yoga yoga is so incredible. We have an amazing group of instructors that make up the studio. You can practice with a dancer, a trapeze enthusiast, a long time tantra yogi, an OT and so much more. Each instructor has something beautiful to offer.
If you are new to the studio, find our current deal running on Living Social. Join us for yoga, tai chi, Zumba, or aerial yoga. There's something for everyone.
See our video below demonstrating a general sun salutation. For more videos on advanced poses and routines visit our Facebook page.

Kenter Charter Parents! Could you answer my question please if your child got into the school via lottery. Do you like the school? Do you feel your child is a part of the community or not?
Excellent education; most of the students are very bright engaged and talented; terrific principal; majority of teachers range from good to amazing; compared to other public elementary schools with similar numbers of students campus is large with a good amount of grass & play space.
i am not sure what kenter canyon the person who gave such a negative review a few posts down. i am a parent of a kindergartener and we do celebrate bdays and holidays. they celebrated halloween all the winter holidays valentines pres day MLK day and just now saint patty's day. our class room 3 did day 100 too. i get 2 emails a week from our class parents as well as a friday newsletter and the friday folder that fills me in on all the happenings which are many. i have had ample chances to meet other parents and families.. there is a lot going on there. i am not sure what class you are in but my experience has been totally different. we love kenter and cant wait till my other son is old enought start there.
There is no such thing as a perfect school where everything goes right all of the time. That said Kenter Canyon is an excellent school with a very caring and competent staff. The scathing comment below does not take into account the quality of staff and education present 95% of the time. There are many changes that parents and staff would like to see however it is important to recognize that Kenter still operates within and is bound in many cases by the larger bureaucracy of LAUSD. I am not privy to how the aides or anyone else gets paid but Mr. Lewis does an exemplary job as do most of the other aides who all deserve more money and recognition than the currently get.
I am an involved parent at Kenter for the last 6 years. Kenter has been a wonderful experience for my family by providing both a solid foundation in core elementary education and a wide variety of enrichment classes. Most important we feel that Kenter is a wonderful community of local families who care about their school the students and the overall community. I am posting this review in response to the review posted yesterday. To clarify a few points made all classroom aides currently get paid the same rate which is set by LAUSD. If someone is earning more money it is because they are rendering additional services to PSG (the parent group) or the Kenter administration or they perform differentiated services. In addition all enrichment personnel decisions are made after a thorough process involving parents and the Kenter administration. PSG's board minutes financials and budget are available for review by all parents. I encourage anyone who has questions to get more involved and to come to the periodic PSG general meetings (which are publicized to parents through emails) and all these personnel issues can be addressed and discussed in an open and appropriate forum.
Kenter Canyon is disorganized and lacking in heart and community. We started Kindergarten this year and we had such high hopes! We feel let down and disheartened. The children aren't allowed ANY celebrations in the classrooms! Not even for birthdays. No Halloween or Holidays either. They are expected to sit still and be quiet all day-- there is no fun at all! Our child had made a lot of friends but the parents don't reach out to further friendships and there is a lack of connection with the all the parents. The school needs to have more opportunities for parents to bond and celebrate their children during the school day through class events. I have found that most of the parents don't even know what is taking place in the class. Also the art "enrichment" is lacking in creativity and is completely uninspired. I am utterly disappointed in this school.
Do I love this school? No but I do like it and am happy my kids are at the school. There are enrichments and opportunities- made possible with parent involvement and our $- that you won't find at other public schools. The principle does honestly care about the students- a very good trait. And he's also good at listening to your concerns making you feel better then nothing actually changes. There are a few teachers that are TERRIBLE and bless him he wants to get rid of them. Unfortunately lausd makes it impossible. The fundraising is pretty hardcore but you get what you pay for and for the most part we all pitch in. The kindergarten program kinda sucks- harsh entry to public school from private preschool. One teacher loathes being there and it shows. The talent show makes zero accommodation for little ones. If you pay for after school enrichment you have to hand walk them to the class making extra trips to school. The upper grades are better god willing you get good teachers. Each year nice improvements on things like communication and upkeep of the school grounds. Overall I'm happy just not in "love" after all it's still lausd and bound by their insane policies...
I am a fellow parent and friend to one of the young families that started at Kenter this year in one of the kindergarten classes and was so horrified by the series of events that took place I felt compelled to write to let other parents know of how issues of bullying are resolved at this school and in particular in this kindergarten class. Our friend's child whom we have seen grow up and thrive in preschool and other social environments was physically and mentally bullied by another boy in class and his "gang" all year while the teacher and subsequently the principal chose to only believe the claims of the bullying child while ignoring the needs of the child that was being hit pushed to the ground and harrassed for ethnically different food. It is our responsibility as parents and teachers to protect our children and nurture a non-threatening environment as much as possible. The parents of the bully chose not to believe that their kid could possibly behave in such a way even when they witnessed it with their own eyes. Shame on them. And shame on this school for failing to care to perform their most fundamental duties. This is kindergarten for pete's sake. Heartbreaking.
Kenter Cyn. is a good school but not the BEST. This school has gone downhill since the major budget cuts. The school is hainging on a thread. However my daughter is getting a well-rounded education but I am not happy with the class size and the constant shift of staff changes. The parent support is good but not the best. YES this school raises money outside of LAUSD through parent support. NO the parents can't keep up financially with the state cut-backs. There is no librarian!!
We have been at Kenter Canyon for seven years and will be there for two more. Our experience has been extremely positive both academically and socially for our two boys. They have thrived in a very dynamic school strongly supported by parent involvement. As working parents we have also really appreciated the on-site STAR after-school program which has given our children a well-supervised enriching and caring experience.
all the benefits of private school at a fraction of the cost. and the STAR afterschool program is beyond your wildest dreams. we've been using them for the past 10 years for our kids and they are wonderful caring thoughtful rigorous and smart. all that AND they have a terrific sense of humor and perspective often missing in the childcare environment.
Another great aspect of Kenter Canyon is the STAR program which provides a program for pre K and after school students. It's a great resource that helps students with homework academics social skills and plain old fun.
I have two kids currently attending and we are so happy here. They have an amazing STAR program that adds so much to the school in terms of sports education leadership and unity. The STAR program has helped my kids gain confidence and refine their academic and leadership skills. As a parent knowing the STAR program is available to my kids at all times I have peace of my mind. The director and staff at STAR treat my kids as if they are their own. We're family and it's fantastic. Thank you Kenter Canyon and STAR!!
Kenter Canyon is a wonderful school with amazing staff & teachers both in the Elementary School and the STAR program.
Best Chartered K-5 School in LA. In my opinion they even surpass other neighborhood private schools in terms of quality of teachers academics class sizes enrichment classes outdoor academic camps for students and many other activities that stimulate children minds in a way that they become better students and bring out the best they can be for their society a group of educated caring loving effective and constructive human beings.
Great school very well managed and loving teachers. Amazing star program. Thank you Kenter Canyon and STAR.
This is a wonderful school. My son just graduated. Teacher and staff and especially the principal are just amazing. It feels like a private school. There are lots of enrichment classes offered. I think my kids got a well rounded education and my son loved being in different sports. Parent involvement is tremendous.
Great school...good community feel exceptional teachers and encouraging atmosphere. Good balance between academics and fun.
I am wondering what others think about the two towers the border this school. Do you think they pose a risk to the children in the classrooms and on the playgrounds? They are clearly run by LADWP and transmit electricity throughout Brentwood/Kenter Canyon.

B.A. Counselling (top up)
- On Campus
- 12 months
- GBP10350 Year (International)
- English (Find a course)
This programme has been specifically designed for practicing counsellors already qualified to diploma or foundation degree level and working in paid employment, private practice or a voluntary setting. It provides a unique opportunity for counsellors to deepen their understanding of counselling theory and practice, to gain more understanding of client issues and how to work with them, undertake a research project and gain a degree at the same time.
It also provides a forum where counsellors from a variety of orientations and backgrounds will be able to share information and experience to their mutual advantage. As awareness of mental health issues gradually increases in the public consciousness and more people seek professional help and advice, there is a rise in demand for counselling and for professionally qualified counsellors. Employers are becoming increasing inclined to seek graduate counsellors due to their increased level of skills, knowledge and ability.
The aims of the programme are:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Per 6 April 2015 only the English language tests from IELTS and Trinity College London are accepted for Tier 4 Visa applications to the United Kingdom. Other tests (including TOEFL, TOEIC, Pearson, City & Guilds) are no longer accepted for Tier 4 visa applications to the United Kingdom. The university might still accept these tests to admit you to the university, but if you require a Tier 4 visa to enter the UK and begin your degree programme, these tests will not be sufficient to obtain your Visa. Since the Trinity College London language tests must be taken in one of their exam centres in the UK, IELTS is now the only language test accepted for Tier 4 visas to the UK that can be taken worldwide.
The IELTS test is most widely accepted by universities and is also accepted for Tier 4 visas to the UK- learn more.
Applicants should have:
A counselling diploma or foundation degree, normally with 450 hours of training, a minimum of 100 hours of supervised counselling practice and 60 hours of personal counselling (or equivalent)
• Accreditation of prior experiential learning procedures may apply for some candidates with fewer training hours and/or more experience. This is dependent on their existing diploma.
• Applicants are subject to interview.
There are state-of-the-art facilities for group and collaborative work in the Learning Hub.
No work experience is required.
Fortunately enough I was able to find StudyPortals. Right from the start of the application to getting the confirmation of admission I was using StudyPortals.
Sign up for your personal newsletter and we will help you too.
We will send you all the information you need to find your dream study programme!
Together with the ISIC Association and British Council IELTS we offer you the chance to receive up to £10000 to expand your horizon and study abroad. We want to ultimately encourage you to study abroad in order to experience and explore new countries, cultures and languages.

Hi there y'all!
I was wondering if anybody out there had some extra space and could take a bike or two from LA to the playa please? My girlfriend and I each have a bike we would like to use up there but if you only have space for one, that's ok!
I will gladly pay you for this service, or donate my time/efforts in helping you out with something. Let me know what works for you.
The bikes are in Santa Monica, but I could meet you anywhere in LA.

Is there an SSH equivalent for windows? I found an actual openSSH port for windows, but its very old and doesnt seem to work on 64 bit W7. I just want a remote command line in windows.
freeSSHd is old, but it should work on 7. i know it works on server 2008 at least.
Thanks. Ill give that a try

While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.
