A Month of Success
December 16, 2013
With the hopes of becoming a better horseman and earning a scholarship, AQHYA member Miranda Raithel, 13, is raising her first young horse.
By Miranda Raithel
Editor's Note: Miranda Raithel was one of 17 American Quarter Horse Youth Association members selected to participate in the 2013-14 American Quarter Horse Association Ranching Heritage Young Horse Development Program. While caring for and training foals bred by AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeders, these young horsemen and -women chronicle their achievements, with the culmination of the yearlong project being the chance to earn scholarship money and prizes from AQHA corporate partners.
I was very excited to get my Quarter Horse colt home from AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeder Open Box Rafter Ranch of Faith, South Dakota. It was a long trip to my home in Falls City, Nebraska, but "Carl" weathered the trip well. I am very excited to learn more about the horse industry, horse nutrition and horsemanship through the AQHA Ranching Heritage Young Horse Development Program, which is what Carl and I will be participating in for the next year.
Once we got home, I let Carol come to know his surroundings for a day or so, then I jumped right into working with him on the ground. I sacked him the first day, and he didn't mind; he was very gentle and would let me do anything I wanted with him. He didn't even run and play when I turned him loose. He was so dopey and gentle! I turned him out with my show heifers at night: The heifers and "Carl" come in my cattle show barn during the day and he has his own stall.
After I finish with my cattle, I work with Carl on flexing, longeing both directions and backing up. He is getting the hang of it nicely, and he will change directions "on the fly" when I ask. He is very respectful. I only work with him about 15 minutes at a time and only three times a week. I think a horse needs to like what he is doing, and I don't want to push him too much while he's little. Carl was already broke to tie when I got him, or so I think. He just stands tied quietly when he's tied.
Carl has done many things in a quiet manner since I picked him up. He has traveled to my trainer, Alicia's, arena and we took a lesson on showmanship. He has traveled to the roping pen and been tied next to a crazy, barking dog, and he has been exposed to just about every loud thing on a ranch, including working facilities, mean cows, dogs, trains, combines, tractors and my boisterous parents!
While caring for and training foals bred by AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeders, young horsemen and -women in the AQHA Ranching Heritage Young Horse Development Program are vying for the chance to earn scholarship money and prizes.
When it comes to nutrition and veterinary attention, Carl has had the best possible care I can give him. He went through a vet check given by my vet, Dr. Beth Herring-Hill: Carl passed with flying colors. Dr. Herring-Hill taught me about basic nutrition and a deworming regimen. This was very helpful, as this is the first young horse I have raised. His nutritional needs are very different from a mature horse. I learned that he needs more feed than I thought. Carl also eats a probiotic supplement that I top-dress on his feed once a day. These "belly piranhas" are bacteria added to his stomach to keep him on feed and his digestive health on track. Dr. Herring-Hill also taught me that I need to deworm my young horse once a month. Additionally, I talked with my farrier, who looked at Carl's feet and told me that I could wait a while before trimming him, as his feet were excellent! I have been working with Carl on picking up his feet for his future trimming, and Carl is doing awesome.
I have witnessed several changes in Carl's behavior over the month. He is happy to see me when I walk in the barn, and he greets me with a joyful whinny when I arrive. He has now started to run and play with our fat show heifers, which is awesome to watch. I think that is really great, too, because he makes them exercise by giving them chase. It's funny, because they lick him and love him; he often comes in from the turn-out lot with swirls from their licking. This makes him have a really bad hair day!
I think the acclimation to our facility, beginning groundwork exercises and learning about horse health made the month of October a success!
Because opportunities abound for horse-interested kids, the new AQHYA blog, Youth in Action, captures those adventures. Learn more about the endless prospects for young horsemen through AQHYA at www.aqha.com/youth-in-action.

Designer Lisa Smith scallops the rim in a symmetrical pattern, and emphasizes the scallops' rhythm with ridged, wave-like verdigris sloping down to the bowl's flat bottom. A smooth band at the top glows with copper's pure warmth.

2012 McCullough/NITL Executive of the Year: Nice guys finish first
American Trucking Associations (ATA) President and CEO Bill Graves is named NITL Executive of the Year for his leadership in shaping the nation's ground freight transportation system and his affable, endearing management style.
Governor Graves discusses his life in trucking with Logistics Management's John Schulz late last month.
in the NewsBehind KION Group's acquisition of Dematic UniCarriers Americas executives partner with Roosevelt University Brexit impact yet to be measured by U.S. logistics managers Rail carload and intermodal volumes fall for the week ending June 18, reports AAR BTS reports U.S.-NAFTA trade falls 3.2 percent in April More News
He's no longer Governor of Kansas, but the American Trucking Associations' (ATA) President and CEO, William Preston "Bill" Graves, still carries the dignity and political acumen of the office. Around Washington, whenever anyone talks about Graves, they rarely mention his last name, but simply the title "Governor."
Speaking quietly but carrying a truckload worth of industry knowledge and sources, former Kansas Gov. Bill Graves now leads one of the biggest and most revered trade associations—the venerable federation of 50 trade associations that for eight decades has influenced, lobbied, and educated Congress, federal agencies, and even presidents about the essentiality and operations of the $700 billion U.S. trucking industry.
The then 41-year-old Graves was inaugurated as one of the youngest governors in Kansas history in 1995. He would serve two terms, winning re-election in 1998 by the largest margin in the history of the state as a moderate Republican leading the Sunflower State. In January 2003, Graves completed his second term as governor of Kansas, capping 22 years of service to the state.
Following that experience, it seemed almost serendipitous that the ATA would turn to the affable Graves to help achieve the herculean task of representing the disparate interests of ATA's 37,000 members—ranging from $54 billion-a-year giants like UPS to thousands of small mom-and-pop truckers.
When Graves was named as the nation's top trucking lobbyist nearly 10 years ago, the appointment to ATA completed a full circle in the governor's life. His first job back in Kansas as a young teenager was working the docks at Graves Truck Line, a company his family operated for 70 years out of Salinas before succumbing—like thousands of other carriers—in the post-regulatory era following the Motor Carrier Act of 1980.
"I learned at a young age in life about work," Graves said in a recent interview with Logistics Management (LM) in his office in Arlington, Va. "In fact, I was actually surprised the other day when I got that annual recap that the Social Security Administration sends out that gives you how many years you have been paying Social Security taxes. The first year I paid into Social Security was 1966. I was 13. So, that would have been the first year that dad had me doing something, probably sweeping the freight dock."
Besides sweeping the freight dock in Salinas, Kan., Graves learned a few more things along the way. Those attributes include how to treat people, how to learn from past experiences and, perhaps most importantly, how to get along with even those with whom one may disagree.
For his achievements in guiding ATA, his impact on shaping the nation's ground freight transportation system, and, not coincidentally, his ever-polite and endearing personality, Bill Graves is this year's recipient of the National Industrial Transportation League's (NITL) prestigious Executive of the Year Award, also known as the McCullough Award. The award is named after John T. McCullough, a former chief editor of Distribution magazine, a predecessor of LM. Graves will receive the award on Monday, November 12, at the opening session of the 105th Annual Meeting & TransComp Exhibition in Anaheim, Calif.
"This award is about leadership," explains NITL President and CEO Bruce Carlton, noting there are certainly many outstanding and powerful people in transportation. "But leadership is a rare quality that combines a number of sometimes more subtle traits. Gov. Graves is certainly one of Washington's outstanding and powerful people, but it's his leadership skills that set him apart."
With Graves at the wheel, ATA has pushed for several safety initiatives, including a requirement that all new heavy trucks be equipped with speed limiters; a proposed national speed limit of 65 miles per hour for all vehicles; increased seat belt use; and greater drug and alcohol testing and recordkeeping of the nation's 3 million long-haul truck drivers.
ATA under Graves also supports efforts aimed at improving the safety of the trucking industry by requiring the use of electronic logs to monitor drivers' hours-of-service. And in one of the best "man-bites-dog" stories in Washington transport history, Graves and the ATA are actively pushing for an increase in the federal tax on motor fuels—unchanged since 1993—to help pay for better upkeep of our nation's infrastructure.
So far, that latter call has fallen on deaf ears in tax-averse Washington, but Graves isn't giving up on so fast. Recognizing his members' wishes, ATA has also organized an effort to combat the use of tolling and public-private partnerships to pay for improvements in roads and bridges.
Graves has also pushed the trucking industry to become greener. He's overseen ATA's efforts to promote the industry's record on sustainability, ranging from support for better fuel economy standards for large trucks (coming in 2014) to promotion of the EPA's SmartWay program that recognizes truckers for their environmental improvements.
But mostly, Graves' achievements take a backseat to his warm and likeable personality. At a time when Washington politics are more cutthroat and partisan, Graves sets himself apart through his quiet nature and desire for compromise.
"My standard phrase is: 'It's OK to disagree, but don't be disagreeable,'" he says. "Because at the end of the day we've got to work through whatever immediate problem we have. Next week and next month and next year, we have to go through a lot of other problems that are likely to confront us."
That ability to communicate through partisan waters was not lost on NITL voters in naming Graves this year's top service award. As NITL's Carlton says, "We all know people whose ego eclipses their intelligence and skills, but Bill Graves is just the opposite. Quite honestly, he is one of the finest gentlemen I've ever worked with. You sit and talk with him and he's completely self-effacing and generally interested in you and what you have to say."

Gary Fournier said. Iplenski struck the left, rear portion with the right front bumper of her Dakota, causing the carriage to overturn on the shoulder and become disabled.
Iplenski drove to a nearby house where she alerted the resident to call 911, Fournier said.
A 13-year-old male passenger in the buggy was removed from the scene by State Police Helicopter and transported to A.I. DuPont Hospital where he was admitted in critical condition., Fournier said The 15 year old driver was not injured in the crash, he said.
Iplenski, who was properly restrained, was transported from the residence by EMS to Bayhealth- Kent General Hospital where she was treated for unrelated health issues, Fourier said. She was cited for inattentive driving.
The roadway in the area of the incident was closed for approximately one hour as the crash was investigated and cleared, he said. The horse was not severely injured in the crash and was removed from the scene by members of the Amish community.

I've heard that THC can cause permanent damage to brain cells. I've also heard this reffered to anti drug propaganda. Another theory i've read is that temporary effects reduce intelligence but long term results are not affected. If Marijuana does cause permanent brain damage how does it do so? How exactly does it kill the cell?
There is no damage of brain cells, as in the context of lesions in neurodegenerative disorders. There are, however, two mechanisms attributed to the memory loss associated with cannabis/marijuana and these are purely physiological responses.

In April 1969, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 1072 (the Harmer Bill) which established the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) at the California state institutions of higher learning. EOP promotes college access to campuses of the CSU and provides retention services to enrolled university students who participate in EOP.
EOP is designed to improve student academic support of low-income and educationally disadvantaged students. An EOP student has the potential to perform satisfactorily in the CSU but has not been able to realize this potential because of economic or educational background. The program provides admission, academic, and financial assistance to EOP-eligible undergraduate students.
Today SJSU EOP serves over 1,500 students per semester. EOP moved into offices in Clark Hall in fall of 2011, and Guardian scholars officially became a part of it in Spring 2011. EOP offers a plethora of services to students, including a tutoring program, a mentoring program and a specialized graduation and retention initiative for African-American and Latino males called 'I Can, I Will,' in addition to academic advising.

Financial Aid
How long does it take to complete my financial aid application after I submit the FAFSA?
The College of Western Idaho will receive the online FAFSA approximately 5 business days from the date you sign and submit it. We may require additional documentation from you, so please be sure to check your myCWI for updated information. We will then review your academic progress and enrollment status, number of credits in which you are enrolled, grade level and verification if required. When everything is in order, you will be awarded financial aid and sent an award notification (usually by email). You can accept/decline your awards online on your myCWI. The time frame for awarding depends on whether or not you need to submit additional documents and how quickly you respond to requests for additional information.
Should I pay someone to help me to complete the FAFSA?
It is not necessary to pay someone to complete your FAFSA. Save your money for school! You (and your family) know your family situation best. When you are completing the FAFSA, you can simply use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to link your tax information from the IRS to your FAFSA. Using this tool can save you time in the future, preventing you from being required to submit an IRS tax transcript in the case that you are selected for verification.
If you haven't yet filed your tax returns for the previous year, it is acceptable to estimate your income on the FAFSA and you will be asked to update the information later.
What are some common sources of financial aid?
The College of Western Idaho administers student aid from three major sources, federal, state, and institutional, as well as a variety of "outside" scholarship resources. Each has a different and distinct application process.
Federal Aid - All students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on paper or online. In conjunction with our accreditation partner, the College of Southern Idaho, CWI participates in federal financial aid programs using a special CWI federal school code 042118. FAFSA applications are available entirely online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Continuing students should reapply after January 1st each year.
State Aid - Residents of the State of Idaho may also be eligible for a variety of scholarships or grants offered under the direction of the Office of the State Board of Education and the College of Western Idaho. Some Idaho scholarships require an application directly to the Office of the State Board of Education while some are administered by the College of Western Idaho. All Idaho residents should complete the federal FAFSA application and apply for Idaho scholarships through the State Board of Education at www.boardofed.idaho.gov. CWI distributes state grants and scholarships administered by the college (campus based programs) according to the rules and regulations defined by the Office of the State Board of Education.
Institutional Aid - College of Western Idaho offers a variety of tuition waivers and scholarships to students participating in school clubs, organizations, and programs. Tuition waivers and scholarships are offered by individual departments and interested students should contact each department for application instructions or information concerning the availability of aid.
"Outside" Scholarships - There are many other sources of student financial aid available through private foundations, companies, service clubs, or other organizations that are not directly managed by the College of Western Idaho. All students should seek out and apply for any source of financial assistance available. Many scholarships require separate applications.
What determines my eligibility for financial aid?
Three components are used to determine your financial need/eligibility for financial aid: Cost of Attendance, Expected Family Contribution (EFC), and Enrollment Status.
Each college or university in the U.S. develops its own Cost of Attendance Budget(s) with consideration for tuition, fees, books and supplies, room and board, transportation, dependent care expenses, loan origination fees, and personal allowance (or miscellaneous expenses). Your cost of attendance budget will depend on where your permanent address is (state of residency), your housing plans while in school, the number of dependents you have (if any), and your enrollment status (the number of credits you enroll in each term.) The College of Western Idaho uses standardized amounts or calculations for each of these categories and customizes your budget according to your situation.
Your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is computed by the U.S. Department of Education's processing center using the information you provided on your FAFSA application. Your EFC will be provided to you along with a confirmation number when you complete your FAFSA.
PLEASE NOTE: Approximately 50% of all CWI students are selected for "Verification" - a process in which CWI is required to confirm the answers you provide on your FAFSA that were used to calculated your EFC. CWI will request additional documentation from students selected and make any corrections necessary.
Also, your EFC does NOT necessarily indicate your actual out-of-pocket expenses for college. Your EFC is used by CWI to determine your eligibility for need-based grants, scholarships, and student loans. Specifically, your EFC is subtracted from your personalized Cost of Attendance budget to determine your original Financial Need and awards are made based on your financial need.
If your Cost of Attendance (COA)= $8,568
and your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) = $1,000
your Financial Need = $7,568
From these elements, CWI will first determine your eligibility for a Federal Pell Grant and then attempt to meet the remaining unmet need with other funds as available.
You will receive notification of your Cost of Attendance Budget, your EFC, your Financial Need, and the financial aid funds you are eligible for in an award notification from CWI Financial Aid after completing your FAFSA and all application requirements.
Eligibility for certain awards and award amounts are determined, in part, by your Enrollment Status. Awards are adjusted or pro-rated according to the program rules for each award. Student financial aid recipients should maintain a close relationship with their academic advisor and register for classes early in order to allow CWI adequate time to make quarterly adjustments if necessary. For more information regarding enrollment status requirements for each award program, please contact CWI One Stop Student Services.
What do I do if I need to drop or withdraw from a class?
If you find that at any point during a term you must drop a class, please consult with your academic advisor first. If you agree that it is in your best interest to drop a class, you must complete an official add/drop form or complete withdrawal form. You can drop classes any time during the full refund period (please refer to the CWI academic calendar for specific dates) without penalty and receive a full refund of tuition and fees. Your financial aid will be adjusted automatically. Dropping or withdrawing from classes after the full refund period may have negative consequences related to the standards of satisfactory progress. In accordance with federal financial aid regulations (CFR 668.22), you may be required to repay federal financial aid funds if you drop, completely withdraw, are administratively withdrawn, or fail to earn a passing grade in any or all of the classes you attempt in any term.
If you withdraw completely from any term, you will likely have to repay some of the financial aid you received to CWI, the U.S. Department of Education, or both. If you are required to repay, you will receive written notification concerning your options once you complete the official withdrawal process. Please read carefully any correspondence you receive in reference to a complete withdrawal. CWI is required to report overpayments of federal grants to the U.S. Department of Education's collection unit if the student does not make repayment arrangements within 45 days of being notified.

What is CWI's Federal School Code?
The College of Western Idaho's federal school code is 042118.
What is the income limit to qualify for financial aid?
There is no specific income limit. The FAFSA application uses a complex need analysis formula to evaluate income, number of people in the household and in college, age of the eldest parent, investments, cash, savings, checking, and even the state of legal residence. You provide this information on the FAFSA application and the result of the formula is the EFC (Expected Family Contribution) which is used to determine your family's ability to pay for educational costs.
What types of financial aid are available?
Grants, Scholarships, Work Programs, and Student Loans are all available to CWI students.
- Grants are awards that are usually based on need and do not have to be repaid upon completion of your degree. Grants form the foundation of a financial aid package, upon which other aid may be added, depending on eligibility.
- Scholarships are gift aid which may be based on academic achievement, particular skills, talents, abilities or interests, and may or may not be based on financial need. Most scholarships do not have to be repaid.
- Work Programs such as Federal Work Study are need-based awards and are designed to provide students with employment opportunities to help meet the cost of education.
- Loans are borrowed funds used to help pay educational expenses. Loans must be paid back. A variety of loans, both need-based and non-need based, are available to CWI students and their parents.
Can any student get a work-study job?
No. Work study designated jobs are available ONLY to eligible students who have work study funding in their financial aid award package.
To request work study funding:
1. Complete your FAFSA application.

What cracks me up is the name ............... DUNLEAVY !
Dense !
I know if Melo drops 30 people will blame Lin.
What cracks me up is the name ............... DUNLEAVY !
Dense !
Bibby and Novak on the court together is one too many defensive liabilities for our team to eat
Looks like the bucks are going to hang around like a bad smell tonight !
Has Novak touched the ball?
the ball is going absolutely nowhere with this lineup, rather see shump handle the point
The only thing that would keep the Knicks from winning an NBA championship in the near future is the Milwaukee Bucks.
There you go. Novak for 3!
WTF....Jorts is missing a easy layup per game

we are just a nene and k-mart and iverson away from being the nuggets 5 years ago lol
-First bball team in brooklyn
-D Will resigning
-Johnson getting traded
-Dwight probably being traded to Nets
-Lin probably resigning so more of Linsanity all year
-Kidd comes to stick it to Nets fans
-Camby has a home coming
.................................................. ..........
-AI is a knick!
The many storylines all capped off with AI to the Knicks...that would be fantastic hahahah
Boooooo. Should have gotten someone consistent on and off the court. Hopefully Kidd can tame this guy. He only gets hot when it doesn't matter...
JR is signing for 2.8 million.....not a single team offered him anywhere near the deal Novak got or anyone else.......THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT....!!!!!
with that said with Kidd and Camby in the locker room along with Chandler I do think JR will be put in place....just hope woodson does not use him like a fool again.
we still need a SG ...melo and jr do not need to be on the court together

Only an alert and knowledgeable citizen can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals – so that security and liberty may prosper together.
– Dwight D. Eisenhower in his famous speech on the dangers of the Military-Industrial Complex
Good Op-Ed yesterday from the New York Times about how dangerous our cultural fascination with war and aggressive foreign policy is for the health of the nation – both economically and spiritually. That said, I do take one major exception with the author's premise that we have moved beyond a time "when commercial interests influenced military action." To think this takes a naivety of the highest order, and he clearly does not understand how the global financial system operates and what the petro-dollar is. Nonetheless, some very important points are made. From the NY Times:
In his farewell address, Eisenhower called for a better equilibrium between military and domestic affairs in our economy, politics and culture. He worried that the defense industry's search for profits would warp foreign policy and, conversely, that too much state control of the private sector would cause economic stagnation. He warned that unending preparations for war were incongruous with the nation's history. He cautioned that war and warmaking took up too large a proportion of national life, with grave ramifications for our spiritual health.
Like all institutions, the military works to enhance its public image, but this is just one element of militarization. Most of the political discourse on military matters comes from civilians, who are more vocal about "supporting our troops" than the troops themselves. It doesn't help that there are fewer veterans in Congress today than at any previous point since World War II.
Eisenhower understood the trade-offs between guns and butter. "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed," he warned in 1953, early in his presidency.
In this strange universe where those without military credentials can't endorse defense cuts, it took a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Adm. Mike Mullen, to make the obvious point that the nation's ballooning debt was the biggest threat to national security.
That which is left unexamined eventually becomes invisible, and as a result, few Americans today are giving sufficient consideration to the full range of violent activities the government undertakes in their names.
Watch a brief but powerful clip of Eisenhower's famous speech below.

ATLANTA (Dec. 14, 2010)— Looking for the perfect last-minute holiday gift? Surprise the family and be the first to see the East Coast premiere of Peter Pan on a special preview night , Friday, January 21, 2011, at 7:30 p.m., with proceeds benefiting Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Pemberton Place in downtown Atlanta, adjacent to the World of Coca-Cola, will play host to this spectacular new production of Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie's classic story, direct from London, San Francisco and Orange County, California. Tickets are limited and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Premium seats, which include a pre-show reception, gift package and VIP seating, are $100. All other seats are $50.
Conceived by an award-winning creative team and featuring 23 actors, puppets, epic music, flying sequences, and the world's first 360-degree CGI theater set, Peter Pan is designed to delight and engage children ages five and older. The performance lasts about two hours and is set in the threesixty° Theatre, which allows for performance "in the round" in a 1,300 seat theater-tent. The interior of the tent is lit with more than 15,000 square feet of Hi-Resolution video— three times the size of IMAX screens—so that both cast and audience are immersed in a CGI Neverland. When Peter and Wendy fly to Neverland, the audience flies with them over 400 square miles of virtual London and beyond.
Peter Pan first captivated audiences in London in May 2009 in Kensington Gardens, where J. M. Barrie was first inspired to write the story. The show played a 16-week sold-out engagement to 200,000 people, including a Royal Gala for the Prince's Trust for Children and the Arts attended by Prince Charles and Camilla.
Peter Pan, The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up was created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie in 1901 and has been adapted many times since, including a Walt Disney animated film and a Broadway musical. One night, Peter flies into the London nursery of the Darling children, Wendy, John and Michael, teaches them to fly and leads them to the magical Neverland, "second to the right and straight on till morning," where they live with Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys and meet the notorious Captain Hook.
Atlanta is only the fourth location in the world to host Peter Pan. Proceeds from the January 21 preview event will benefit the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Program, which assists CF patients and their families in meeting essential medical and educational goals in managing healthcare needs.
For more information, visuals from previous shows and to purchase tickets, visit www.choa.org/peterpan.

From 9th July to 2nd Aug 2010 I undertook a 25-day solo cycle ride from Cheltenham to the north of Scotland and back. Along the way I explored the Scottish islands of Arran, Mull and Rum, covering a total distance of 1,784 miles.
As well as cycling, I spent several days hiking en-route. The journey involved plenty of adventure, especially when I came across scary scrambling on Arran's A'Chir ridge before almost getting flooded out of my tent the next day! Fortunately I was woken just in time.
Throughout the tour I witnessed fantastic views and sunsets in many unspoilt and beautiful locations, saw marvellous landscapes and found wild places in Scotland I never knew existed. This book provides a detailed account of the trip accompanied by photographs taken en-route.

This review is from Ink Jet Textured Note Cards 3379:
I used these to print birthday cards make invitations. It's a great product
This review is from Ink Jet White Matte Note Cards 8315:
Control Freak... Hummm? Nah! I just want my cards to reflect me. As a creative commercial photographer, it's important to stay in touch with your clients and target audience. Saying "Thank You", after a job is always appreciated. Staying connected with Happy Holidays, or "Happy Valentine's Day", is necessary for you remain top of their mind. If you're consistent, they'll receive your card and might think..."Oh, I have a job that she would be perfect for."
I've tried many different products and approaches for designing and/or printing my cards. From bulk printing options, to cards that are mailed directly from the web to a client, no processes gives me the control I want over the design, colors, fonts, and double sided printing. Only Avery's #8315 Matte White Note Card product provides all these option, because I can print it myself. The best thing is that the card stock is now physically and significantly WHITER and BRIGHTER than the old product. I absolutely love it. No one else has this option.
The only product that would be even better, is Glossy finish on the outside, and matte white on the inside. NO one in the world has this option! Not yet. Go AVERY; cause you ROCK!
This review is from Ink Jet White Matte Note Cards 8315:
Read my other reviews and you'll learn that I've used Avery products for quite some time. I don't know when 8315 Note Cards were added to the Avery product line but I can't recall them being available back in the day when I was still creating my own templates to print Avery labels and such.
I mentioned in my review of Avery's 6467 label that templates for it weren't available for the Mac programs I was running at the time (when I first used 6467 labels) but that's all changed. Now there are a number of templates available for Mac usersÛ and that's just the beginning.
Avery continues to improve the user experience in ways many newcomers may take for granted, like scoring and perforating, which are built right into this particular note card. Both functions were once performed manually which is to say I had to cut and score cards individually using a craft knife and a metal straightedge. Time is money so when you can, why not save both by using products like this?
As to the precision and quality of the cards, from one box to the next, there's no difference. Once you've created the art for your card and have verified it looks as intended on the card, rest assured that every card you print after the original will be identical to it.
8315 Note Cards quickly became a new favorite of mine when I was asked to design and print a note card for my church. Please see the result depicted in the accompanying image.
This review is from Ink Jet White Matte Note Cards 8315:
I have a small photo business and have printed 10,000 cards. For the most part they are wonderful. The only problems I have had with the cards is that every once in a while they are not scored accurately and this makes the margins uneven. Also the color is not consistent and some stock is darker than normal. There is not other product that works as well for my business as these cards.
This review is from Ink Jet Note Cards 8317:
Initially I was reluctant to use these because of the size, but I got them for party invitations and now I use them for Christmas cards too. It took a while for me to become accustomed to the lighter weight of the Avery products, but since they never jam my printer I now embrace it. I've never had any bleeding issues with my inkjet printer, lines are crisp and clean. It shows off my original artwork very well and so I create Christmas cards, party invitations, & any occasion cards that I am proud to send.

Background: We have developed a new approach to map localized inclusions of gold nanoparticles in the Intralipid-1% liquid phantom. Our goal was to show that combined spectroscopic and angular snapshots of liquid phantoms and phantoms with inclusions allow obtaining information relevant for prostate...
We present a new approach to the analysis of radiance in turbid media. The approach combines data from spectral, angular and spatial domains in a form of spectro-angular maps. Mapping provides a unique way to visualize details of light distribution in turbid media and allows tracking changes with di...
Interstitial fiber-optic based strategies for therapy monitoring and assessment rely on detecting treatment-induced changes in the light distribution in biological tissues. We present an optical technique to identify spectrally and spatially specific tissue chromophores in highly scattering turbid m...
Tagging photons with gold nanoparticles as localized absorbers in optical measurements in turbid media
We analyze a role of a localized inclusion as a probe for spatial distributions of migrating photons in turbid media. We present new experimental data and two-dimensional analysis of radiance detection of a localized absorptive inclusion formed by gold nanoparticles in Intralipid-1% when the target ...
Optical absorption and scattering properties of bulk porcine muscle phantoms from interstitial radiance measurements in 650–900 nm range
We demonstrated the application of relative radiance-based continuous wave (cw) measurements for recovering absorption and scattering properties (the effective attenuation coefficient, the diffusion coefficient, the absorption coefficient and the reduced scattering coefficient) of bulk porcine muscl...
Temperature reconstruction by estimating the thermophysical and optical properties of tissues during interstitial laser heating
Optoacoustic (OA) imaging was employed to distinguish normal from neoplastic tissues in a transgenic murine model of prostate cancer. OA images of five tumor-bearing mice and five age-matched controls across a 14 mm × 14 mm region of interest (ROI) on the lower abdomen were acquired using a reverse...
Optoacoustic (OA) imaging is a new technique for cancer detection and non-invasive monitoring of cancer therapeutics. This technique is the combination of both optical and ultrasound modalities, in which tissue is irradiated with nanosecond laser pulses. The delivered optical energy is absorbed and ...
Evaluation of optoacoustic frequency analysis sensitivity to discriminate healthy and neoplastic tissues and to monitor treatment-induced physiological changes
One of the major limitations of the use of optoacoustics (OA) for the imaging of prostate cancer is the relatively low resolution when performed in real time. The work presented in this thesis aims to address this limitation by applying frequency-based analyses, which contribute additional informati...

Part One – Jordan
Olive Baptista is a Specialty Tour, Luxury Trains & Cruise Consultant at UNIGLOBE Geo Travel in Nanaimo as well as an intrepid traveler and adventurer. Olive shares her adventures on a recent trip to Jordan and Turkey.
I just returned from a great tour of Jordan and Turkey where I traveled with a group of lady friends who are very adventurous and always eager to see and do things. Both countries offer a wide range of places to visit and explore,a variety of food and fabulous shopping . Some of us had visited India together in 2011 and hence I was aware of the things to add in the itinerary for each day.
Our flights were out of Vancouver so we headed out the night prior and stayed at the Accent Inn Vancouver Airport . The friendly and helpful staff makes it very convenient for a stopover.
Soon after our arrival Wadi Rum and a ride in the desert up and down the dunes in an open jeep got the adrenaline flowing. Some of us jumped out of the jeep and tried to walk up the dunes. The sand was heavy and the trudge up was exhausting. It was fascinating to see the young guide run up. We felt age was definitely catching up with us as our steps were slow but sure. (more…)

View all teaching evaluations for this course
Units: 2
Meeting Location: 130
Class Number (formerly Course Control Number) (Non-1Ls): 49682
This highly interactive course will help students succeed in their professional and personal negotiations. The course will explore a series of theoretical frameworks, and through group discussions and role plays, students will gain skills in applying the theory to real-life situations. Students will learn how to prepare for, conduct, and review negotiations systematically. Class exercises will cover creating and claiming value, multi-party dynamics, client counseling, difficult tactics, ethical issues, and listening skills. The intensive nature of this class provides students with an opportunity to interrogate traditional measures of success, evaluate their own skills, work closely with one another, and receive individualized feedback from the professor.
Due to the use of simulation exercises throughout the semester and the need to determine members of the class as soon as possible, the usual provisions of "Add/Drop" do not apply. All interested students, whether enrolled or on the wait list, should attend the first session at which time enrollment will be confirmed. Enrollment is limited to 20 students. If you have questions, please contact Emily Epstein at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This class will meet on the following dates: Jan. 11, Feb. 8, March 1, and April 5, from 9am-5pm. The length of the assignments will reflect the credit requirement. Attendance and participation at all scheduled classes is mandatory.
Class meets in Room 130.

Melinda Doolittle has performed as a backup singer for musical legends such as Michael McDonald, Aretha Franklin and Aaron Neville, and finishd third on the sixth season of American Idol. Doolittle has also performed at the White House, the Musicians Hall of Fame, the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall, and she has shared the stage with Peter Cetera, Cyndi Lauper, the Boston Pops Orchestra and more.
Doolittle's debut album, Coming Back to You (2009), produced by Grammy-nominated Mike Mangini, garnered positive reviews from critics, including The New York Times, which noted that the album "succeeds mightily." Doolittle recently penned an autobiography, Beyond Me (2010) and is currently in the studio writing and recording songs for the release of her next album. This week, the Rock Hall caught up with Doolite, who will perform at the Aretha Franklin tribute concert at PlayhouseSquare's State Theatre on November 5.
Rock Hall: What is your first memory of hearing Aretha Franklin's music?
Melinda Doolittle: I remember being a young girl and my Daddy playing "Respect" for me. I loved that there was a song that made it okay to be sassy. That was the only time I was allowed to wag my finger in my Daddy's face and move my neck from side to side. So, I have Ms. Franklin to thank for my sassy side.
RH: What are some of your favorite Aretha Franklin songs?
MD: If I had to choose, I would say "Respect," "Natural Woman," "Since You've Been Gone," "Until You Come Back To Me," "Ain't No Way" and "Wonderful" are my favorites, but I can't think of a song I don't love by Aretha Franklin!
RH: What about Aretha Franklin's style most resonates with you as a vocalist?
MD: My favorite part of her delivery is that she has this amazing way of sounding totally relaxed, but somehow she's still hitting you with the most incredible wall of sound, raw emotion and skill that is unmatched. I'm in awe of her gift and could not be more honored to be a part of this special event.
On Saturday, November 5, at PlayhouseSquare's State Theatre, Melinda Doolittle will perform alongside an all-star lineup, including Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Jerry Butler (of the Impressions), Dennis Edwards (of the Tempations), Ronald Isley (of the Isley Brothers) and Spooner Oldham, in addition to 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominee Chaka Khan, Kris Bowers, Carla Cook, Mike Farris, Ms. Lauryn Hill and Cissy Houston, as artists take the stage to pay tribute to 2011 American Music Masters honoree Aretha Franklin. The concert marks the culmination of a weeklong series of American Music Masters events celebrating the life and legacy of Aretha Franklin.

Barbara Davidson Named 2014 POYi Newspaper Photographer of the Year
Los Angeles Times photographer Barbara Davidson has won Newspaper Photographer of the Year honors in the 2014 Pictures of the Year International (POYi) competition, contest organizers announced this afternoon.
"[T]he judges noted a strong balance of powerful aesthetic with solid journalistic content" in Davidson's portfolio, POYi organizers said in a prepared statement. Her portfolio included two picture stories: "A Healing Bond," about a girl from Afghanistan who came to the US for medical treatment; and "LA's Shooting Season," about the trauma team at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
Runners up for Newspaper Photographer of the Year honors were James Oatway of The Sunday Times (Johannesburg) and Lacy Atkins of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Winners of all the POYi Newspaper Division categories were identified by PDN earlier today.
Meanwhile, POYi judges also selected winners in two Sports Division categories today. They include Alex Goodlett of the Daily Herald (Provo, Utah), who won first prize in the Recreational Sports category; and Daniel Ochoa De Olza won first prize for Sports Picture Story.
