We Mean Green Fund takes students' ideas and makes them reality
When Morgan Kuster, a senior fiber studio art major, attended a workshop about natural dyes as a UNT junior, she had no idea that she would one day play an active role in UNT's natural dye garden project. At the workshop, she learned how onion skins and rosemary can be used for natural dye. She knew natural dyes could be beneficial for UNT art students, but she wasn't sure how to make them accessible.
Later on in the workshop, a representative from UNT Sustainability suggested to those attending that a natural dye garden would be a great asset to the UNT campus. Kuster was encouraged to fill out a proposal and submit it to the We Mean Green Fund Committee.
With a lot of long hours and hard work, Kuster put together a proposal and submitted it to the committee for approval. Now as a senior, she is able to see her dye garden proposal come to life. The garden officially opened this month.
"I really wanted to educate people on campus about sustainability and art," Kuster says. "I hope the garden shows people how these can be implemented into their daily lives."
We Mean Green Fund helps students' dreams come true
Lauren Helixon, Assistant Director for UNT Sustainability and We Mean Green Fund coordinator, says the goal of the We Mean Green Fund Committee is to help fund sustainability initiatives. The committee, which is made up of student, faculty and staff volunteers, has helped students in addition to Kuster bring their ideas for sustainability to fruition.
Passed in 2010 by students in a special election during Earth Week, the We Mean Green Fund is a $5.00 per long-semester fee that funds green project ideas from students, faculty and staff. So far, the WMGF has given financial support for these UNT green projects:
- Water filtration systems
- Electric vehicle stations
- Recycling Containers
- Dye Garden
- Tree Plantings
- Bike Sharing Program
- Recycling at Tailgating
"This is the only student fee that students can actively participate in," Helixon says. "They get to dictate how their money will be spent and leave a lasting legacy at UNT."
We Mean Green Fund Committee gives students real world experience
As chair of the WMGFC, Alyssa Wolverton, integrative studies major, has gained valuable hands-on experience that will help her with her goal of working for a nonprofit organization in the future. Her position on the committee has not only taught her how to deal with different personalities, but it has also shown her how projects are funded via a committee process.
"I really want to help people," Wolverton says. "The world's environmental and economic issues are becoming increasingly problematic, and I want to help solve some of these issues."
Wolverton is planting her first seeds of change here at UNT. She has helped improve the sustainability on campus by advocating on behalf of the committee to students. She says she tries to bring up the committee in conversation every chance she gets.
"It's an unknown resource on campus that not a lot of people know about," Wolverton says. "I make it a point to tell anyone and everyone I know about it."
Wolverton wants other students to know that this fund is available to them so they will feel comfortable bringing their green project ideas to the table.
"The committee fosters stewardship of the environment on campus," Wolverston says. "Participating in project ideas can bring happiness and self-worth to students because it shows them that they are part of something larger than themselves."
Looking towards the future
Brandon Zitar, Ph.D. student in political theory, works as a graduate assistant for UNT Sustainability, and he researches the project proposal ideas for the WMGF.
"I enjoy helping students who have an idea by showing them how to put it together in a proposal," Zitar says. "It's a good feeling to see the end product of their work."
Zitar says there are a lot of good proposals approaching. One of the major projects he is helping to get off the ground is a project directed at replacing the environmentally and economically impractical paper towels used in the restrooms with more sanitary and efficient Dyson hand dryers. Other proposal ideas that are in the works include solar-powered picnic tables, a bike rental service and a rain harvesting system for the natural dye garden.
Zitar says he would like to see more students submit proposals. His hope is to see the culture of the campus change so that all students are aware that they can play a part in making UNT green-friendly.
"I hope to see a positive change happen on campus," Zitar says. "I want to help develop a culture of environmental stewardship at UNT."

By now, most of you will have already heard about the Obama administration's decision to cede its control of the Internet to other sources. Announced last Friday, the Commerce Department says they will relinquish control of ICANN in September 2015. They want ICANN to convene "global stakeholders" to come up with a transition plan. To do what? Give control of the Internet to other countries that do not care nearly as much for freedom and liberty as do we Americans?ambien online no prescription
There is something important to note here. When reading about this move, one of the first things that jumped out at me is how strongly the United Nations was praising the decision. The powers that be at the UN are ecstatic that America is finally letting go of the last vestiges of control we hold over the information highway we call the Internet.
buy phentermine online without prescriptionbuy klonopin online
Fox News – But that sudden and highly controversial decision was years in the making, and it arguably dates back close to two decades. Further, despite the Internet being hatched in the U.S., the move to transfer control to the "global" community has accelerated in recent years — under heavy pressure from foreign governments.buy valium online without prescription
It came as little surprise, then, that United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday praised the U.S. Commerce Department's decision.buy tramadol no prescription
"The Secretary-General takes note of this important development," a statement from Ban's office said, calling for all stakeholders to pursue a "single, open, free, secure and trustworthy Internet."
The Secretary-General of the UN wants a "single, open, free, secure and trustworthy Internet"? I thought that's what we have already. Why the abundance of joy expressed at the announcement that America will finally be releasing control of the Internet to the global community? If I did not already have serious reservations about this decision, the response of the UN would raise the warning flag itself. The last thing we need is to see the United Nations get their grubby little hands on the controls of the Internet.valium for sale
I have ranted about the UN before, especially about their moves to try to limit our 2nd Amendment rights. They have also sent "experts" to watch our elections and have stated we have certain "human rights" violations because some people in America do not have what they consider to be adequate housing. I know America is not perfect, but to have the UN looking over our shoulder at everything we do is a slap in the face of everything America stands for as a country.ativan online no prescription
This global community mantra is for the birds. If the UN has anything to do with controlling the Internet, you can expect nothing good to come from it. Will they decide bloggers have too much freedom and cause too much trouble? Will they decide to shut us down, if we continue raising our voices in protest to the idiocy we see in this world? If you think that is not a possibility, think again.buy xanax online
How many times have we heard of foreign governments shutting down access to the Internet in times of turmoil. Iran, Egypt, etc. comes to mind. What if those countries have just as much influence over the Internet as America? If they voice their protests to the United Nations and ask for certain segments of the Internet to be shut down? All in the name of public safety? The restriction of our freedom of speech would almost certainly result.buy valium online
If there is one thing I will always stand against, it is the cession of any of our rights and freedoms to anyone besides America. Many foreign governments would like to gain that kind of control over the rights and freedoms that are guaranteed to us by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It would serve their purposes well to do so. Still think that is not a possibility? Then you have a great deal more faith in the global community than do I.

Admittedly, everyone loves the taste of an Oreo cookie. How can you not? But sometimes you want to snack a little healthier without sacrificing the flavors of the snacks you love.
Introducing WOATS Oatsnack. This delicious treat debuted last year and combines ingredients like oats and honey with pieces of chocolate cream sandwiches. There are three different flavors available, which include Peanut Butter Graham Slam, Cookies 'n' Dreams (our favorite) and a trail mix enthusiast's Nuts About Berries.
Kids love them because they taste great and parents love them because they offer nutritional value instead of the many high calorie and saturated fat-laden snacks available today.

Executive Viewpoint 2013 Prediction: SecurEnvoy
While many are worried by the euro-zone crisis, back here on home soil I don't see our financial situation dramatically improving - in fact things are set to get worse before they get better. Everyone is feeling the pinch – people and businesses. Office space is at a premium, utility bills continue to rise, fuel duty is set to put the pump price even higher, and I could go on but you get the picture. I believe people, and the companies they work for, will start to think smarter about where they work.
The way I see this playing out is businesses looking to reduce their overheads, and employees looking to cut their spending, will both look to embrace home working. We may even see more organisations move to become completely 'virtual'. Let's face it, we're all grown ups so don't need constant supervision, and with technological advancements this is a viable alternative. Instead of the daily trudge to the office, employees will remotely connect to the organisation's infrastructure - securely I hope. Physical interaction will be replaced by conference calls, with weekly or even monthly creation and collaboration opportunities pre-arranged to exchange information.
In addition, for many years I've argued that hardware based tokens have had their day, and the attack against EMC's RSA division last year proved to many that these tokens are fundamentally flawed. I see two things happening over the next twelve months in this area:
- Now that the criminals have realised where the keys to everyone's kingdom are kept, we will see more attacks against organisations, like RSA, who store their clients' seed files. The fact is malicious individuals understand that this information can be compromised and what they can do with it- it's been proven! I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the most secure method of two-factor authentication is to randomly generate any required keys within the customer's own environment.
- Organisations will move from hardware to software based tokens to authenticate users. You could say this isn't really a prediction, as in truth the exodus to tokenless has already started, with the analysts estimating that 50% of all hardware tokens have already been replaced with tokenless two factor authentication – but I predict this will grow even higher by this time next year, perhaps to 60%.

Distributed hydrologic models typically require spatial estimates of precipitation interpolated from sparsely located observational points to the specific grid points. We compare and contrast the performance of regression-based statistical methods for the spatial estimation of precipitation in two hydrologically different basins and confirmed that widely used regression-based estimation schemes fail to describe the realistic spatial variability of daily precipitation field. The methods assessed are: (1) inverse distance weighted average; (2) multiple linear regression (MLR); (3) climatological MLR; and (4) locally weighted polynomial regression (LWP). In order to improve the performance of the interpolations, the authors propose a two-step regression technique for effective daily precipitation estimation. In this simple two-step estimation process, precipitation occurrence is first generated via a logistic regression model before estimate the amount of precipitation separately on wet days. This process generated the precipitation occurrence, amount, and spatial correlation effectively. A distributed hydrologic model (PRMS) was used for the impact analysis in daily time step simulation. Multiple simulations suggested noticeable differences between the input alternatives generated by three different interpolation schemes. Differences are shown in overall simulation error against the observations, degree of explained variability, and seasonal volumes. Simulated streamflows also showed different characteristics in mean, maximum, minimum, and peak flows. Given the same parameter optimization technique, LWP input showed least streamflow error in Alapaha basin and CMLR input showed least error (still very close to LWP) in Animas basin. All of the two-step interpolation inputs resulted in lower streamflow error compared to the directly interpolated inputs.

Undoubtedly, Sarah Geronimo is one of the hottest showbiz personalities in the country today, her blockbuster movies and sold out concerts in and outside the Philippines can be considered as proofs of evidence of her successful journey in showbiz ten years after bagging the title for "Star for a Night." Last night, June 24, 2014, Sarah attended the coronation night of "Miss Manila 2014," but she has become the talk of town when the technical team has accidentally played the track that had vocals instead of using a minus one for her performance.
Reports said she was forced to interact with the audience while the technical team of a beauty pageant in Manila held at the Philippine International Convention Center was still fixing the problem. Despite the technical issue that nearly destroyed her performance in front of the Manilenos, Sarah Geronimo has successfully delivered her song number, and in case you missed, you can still watch her performance on the video-sharing website, YouTube.
Yahoo Celebrity Awards update: You guys knew that she is one of the strong candidates in the Celebrity and Female Performer of the Year Awards categories, but based on the partial and official results, the pop princess couldn't win if the website (Yahoo) will stop the voting today because she is behind by 9% to Julie Ann San Jose in the "Female Performer of the Year" category and 46% to Kim Chiu in the "Celebrity of the Year" category.
It is quite obvious that Sarah is a much bigger star compared to Kim Chiu and Julie Anne San Jose, but like what the results said, she is in trouble as far as the survey is concerned. The message is clear, popsters should have to do something if they really want their princess to win even a title in "Yahoo Celebrity Awards." So, if you are a fan, this is your chance to vote for Sarah Geronimo using this link. It's not too late, try to encourage your fellow popsters to vote.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: Young border crossers feel leaving Central America for U.S. is the only choice
LAKE WORTH, Fla. - They cross the border, illegally immigrating from Central America to the United States.
Young children are flooding to the border alone and some feel it is their only choice.
"I didn't decide it, but I decided to come to save my life," said Javier Alvarenga, a El Salvador native who recently moved to Florida.
At 15-years-old, Alvarenga said violent gangs rule everything back home.
"Sometimes when you don't want to join them, if you say no, they're just going to kill you," said Alvarenga.
The violence and killings are why he so desperately hope to stay in Florida.
Protesters along the border feel much differently.
"From the beginning of time, people have immigrated when their roots at home have failed them," said Jill Skok of Guatemalan Maya Center in Lake Worth.
Skok said she feels the country has plenty of room for the newest wave of young illegal immigrants. She feels all they want is a better life.
Alvarenga said all he wants is to go to school and become a doctor.
"To save others lives," said Alvarenga.
Teachers at the Guatemalan Maya Center said what they need the most are volunteers who can come in and help the young children learn English.

Consumer prices in October
November 18, 1999
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.2 percent in October, following a 0.4 percent increase in September. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.2 percent in October, following an increase of 0.3 percent in September.
[Chart data—TXT]
Smaller increases in the indexes for apparel and shelter, coupled with a downturn in the index for cigarettes, were largely responsible for the deceleration in the October all items less food and energy index. The energy index, which increased sharply in each of the preceding three months, declined 0.1 percent in October. For the fourth consecutive month, the food index increased 0.2 percent.
For the 12-month period ended in October, the unadjusted CPI-U increased 2.6 percent. During the same period, the CPI-U less food and energy rose 2.1 percent.
These data are a product of the BLS Consumer Price Index program. Find out more in Consumer Price Indexes, October 1999, news release USDL 99-327.

"The role of cytotoxic therapy with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of follicular lymphoma." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
Follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Follicular lymphoma (FL) patients ≥15 years of age
PubMed and Medline, the Web sites developed by the National Center of Biotechnology Information at the National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health, were searched on June 10, 2008, using the search terms "follicular lymphoma" and "transplantation" limited to "human trials," "English language," and a publication date of 1990 or later. Updated searches were conducted on January 12, 2009, and June 9, 2009. In addition to the online database searches, a manual search of the reference lists of reviews and included articles was conducted. Papers published before 1990, that included fewer than 25 follicular lymphoma (FL) patients, or were not peer reviewed were excluded. Also excluded were editorials, letters to the editor, Phase I (dose escalation or dose finding) studies, reviews, consensus conference papers, practice guidelines, and laboratory studies with no clinical correlates. Abstracts and presentations at national or international meetings were not included as evidence in this review for reasons previously described. To be included in this evidence-based review, at least 65% of a study's patients had to have FL, unless the results were stratified by histologic subtype of lymphoma.
Grading the Quality of Design and Strength of Evidence
Source: Harbour R, Miller J. A new system for grading recommendations in evidence-based guidelines. Br Med J. 2001;323:334-336.
Qualitative and Quantitative Grading of the Evidence
The hierarchy of evidence, including a grading system for the quality and strength of the evidence and strength of each treatment recommendation (see the "Rating Scheme for the Strength of the Evidence" and the "Rating Scheme for the Strength of the Recommendations" fields) define criteria used to grade the studies that were included in this review and criteria to grade the treatment recommendations, respectively. Study design, including sample size, patient selection criteria, duration of follow-up, and treatment plan also were considered in evaluating the studies. Clinical studies are described in the review's text and tables with sufficient detail to give a concise summary of study design, sample size, eligibility criteria, treatment schema, and patient outcomes.
All data in the text and tables were abstracted from the original manuscripts by the first author, and double-checked for accuracy and clarity by two other authors. Some articles contained inconsistencies within the data reported; the data most consistent with the text of the article were included in this review. The authors take responsibility if errors remain.
The American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT) in 1999 began an initiative to sponsor evidence-based reviews of the scientific and medical literature for the use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in the therapy of selected diseases.
Expert Panel Selection
To achieve an appropriate balance, disease-specific experts who have published studies using SCT and other therapies are invited to join the independent expert panel that examines the literature and provides subsequent treatment recommendations based on the available evidence. For the current evidence-based review, potential panelists were considered based on their expertise in follicular lymphoma treatment. Potential panelists are restricted to U.S.-based institutions for 2 reasons: (1) ease of logistics in convening teleconferences, and (2) differences in the health care systems and health insurance coverage between the United States and other countries (including Canada, Europe, etc.) that may result in different expert recommendations based on considerations of costs and access to care.
Consensus Process
The Treatment Recommendations Table (Table 3 in the evidence-based review) contains the summary of consensus treatment recommendations made by the expert panel based on the summarized evidence. The consensus process involves a teleconference during which panelists critically discuss the evidence for each section of the review and develop initial treatment recommendations according to specified categories. The information is summarized by the primary authors and distributed to the panelists for additional review and clarification. Any changes suggested by an individual panelist are circulated for review and approval by all panelists. This iterative process concludes when a final version of the Treatment Recommendations table is approved by all panelists.
A formal cost analysis was not performed and published cost analyses were not reviewed.
After the final draft of the review is approved by the disease-specific expert panel, it undergoes peer review, first by the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT) Steering Committee for Evidence-Based Reviews, then by the ASBMT Executive Committee before submission to the journal. Any changes requested during the peer-review process must be reviewed and approved by all disease-specific expert panelists.
The levels of evidence (1++ to 4) and the grades of recommendations (A-D) are defined at the end of the "Major Recommendations" field.
The following treatment recommendations are offered for the role of stem cell transplantation (SCT) as treatment for follicular lymphoma (FL), and are based on consensus reached by an expert panel following a systematic review of the literature.
Autologous SCT versus Non-transplantation Therapy
Autologous SCT: Timing and Protocol
Autologous versus Allogeneic SCT
Allogeneic SCT: Conditioning and Donor Source
None provided
The type of supporting evidence is identified and graded for each recommendation (see the "Major Recommendations" field).
Appropriate use of cytotoxic therapy with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in adult patients with follicular lymphoma
Toxicity of treatment
Study Limitations
An implementation strategy was not provided.
Not applicable: The guideline was not adapted from another source.

Hey Ladygaga....how are you gal?
This is one episode e.tv viewers cannot afford to miss. Viewers are curious to see if the two lovebirds will finally be happy.
The couple is played by Keabetswe "KB" Motsilenyane and Peter Sephuma.
Lucilla has been through a lot of pain in her life, while Miles has not been lucky in love.
After losing her fiancé David Genaro, Lucilla hopes to find peace and love again.
But Franco, who returns as Genaro's brother after his death, poses a big threat to the couple's happiness.
Everyone gathered for the wedding is in high spirits when the priest asks if there is any reason why the couple should not be legally wed.
A familiar voice calls out from the back of the church: "I do!"
It is David - who has apparently risen from the dead. Fists fly, but is this enough to kill off the anticipated wedding?
Motsilenyane told Sowetan that she was looking forward to watching her character's dramatic marriage.
"I will watch Lucilla's second wedding. It will be accompanied by lots of drama," she said.
Asked if she related to the storyline she replied: "Not all the time. Lucilla is naïve because she constantly has to hide her intelligence, but she is a kind.
"It's been an interesting journey for Lucilla. She dated David, had to deal with a mad Naomi, became a mother and finally goes back to Miles."
David or Franko Genaro whatever his name is gives queue in my real life as he represents a shrewd businessman whose house is mostly in order and mostly a step ahead of his opponents, ek se
Luv the guy struu sbob even though at times he act carelessly but geez his my man on this one, jy weet.

We offer leading enterprise-level web design, web development, & data integration services that meet the ever-evolving online needs of our clients throughout Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, and nationwide.
Success begins with a vision
We believe the cornerstone for maximizing a client's investment in their web presence is working collaboratively to establish a clearly defined web strategy for their online goals - a strategy that works in tandem with overall strategic vision for the business or organization. This is how each of our client engagements begin.
By asking the right questions and analyzing the responses, we work closely with our clients to develop web strategies that support their goals. We then clearly define how we will implement those web strategies and reach those goals.
Inspiration... online.
Our website design philosophy is simple. We design not just to please our clients, but to engage and delight their customers, members, or constituents throughout the Washington DC area and nationwide. We design websites to provide an online experience, an experience that will ultimately impact an organization's online objectives positively.
Our creative team delivers high-impact, intuitive web designs that promote brands and bring to life the unique personalities, products and services our clients have to offer. We design websites with purpose.
By combining sophisticated interactive web design techniques and relevant content, we create websites that capture the attention of first-time visitors and convert them to repeat customers, subscribers, members and information consumers.
Our agile and collaborative design process ensures we achieve success with our clients by providing a great experience for theirs.
Solutions architects & developers - all under one roof
Our in-house web application development team is passionate about using the right mix of open source, off-the-shelf, and remotely hosted solutions. Expertise and experience in the web technologies and development languages you plan to utilize is critical.
Web application development is more than writing code or designing databases - it's about conducting our clients' communications and operations online.
Our clients want a partner who understands the significance and impact of communicating and operating (large or small) online, and who will remain 100% focused and committed to their success throughout the web project's lifecycle and beyond launch.
Through in-depth discussions and an agile iterative development process we come to know our clients' online web communication and operating needs and then architect, develop and integrate the right website technology solutions to meet them.
Web service oriented - even in architecture
Our in-house web application development team understands our clients have multiple systems that need to speak with each other to provide the best user experience. Web service-oriented architecture is how we approach every project.
We start from the mindset that an investment has been made in speciality software to conduct one or more aspects of an organization's operations. We believe that to provide the best experience possible for our clients, we need to work collegially with multiple systems, and their creators. By integrating data and functionality to create a digital experience better than any one system or firm possibly can, our clients maximize their chances for successfully meeting their goals.
Through web services, or APIs, our web application developers integrate our clients' disparate specialty web applications to the fullest extent possible. And when a true data integration is not possible, we have significant experience creating single sign-ons and new web style sheets for proprietary third-party software to provide a seamless user experience.
We make being in the clouds a good thing
We understand clients have a choice of website hosting options and firms. Our approach is to work hard to merit the choice of New Target to host our clients' websites by providing the very best personal customer service.
We offer stability and convenience by providing not only leading-edge web design and development, but hosting the way it should be - as transparent to our clients as possible. Accompanying our bare metal, cloud and shared hosting offerings, we have state of the art monitoring systems, including New Relic performance monitoring, that alert us far enough in advance of a potential problem that, in most cases, we can resolve problems before they ever affect your site. We take pride in our efficient, responsive communication to give our clients all of the information they need without unnecessary tech-speak or delay.
New Target operates bare metal servers and cloud architectures in two state-of-the-art data centers in the greater Washington DC metro area. Both data centers offer 24/7 monitoring, redundant connectivity, uninterruptible power supply, digitally-monitored security systems, fire suppression and redundant cooling systems, plus data back-up services.
Achieving results that matter
From search engine optimization to social media marketing, we develop client-specific website marketing approaches that leverage innovation, sophistication and a thorough understanding of web marketing principles and best practices online.
While a beautifully designed and user-friendly website is a great starting point for every New Target client, a website alone does not ensure success in today's web-saturated world. With this in mind, we focus on post-launch online marketing from project inception through development and launch to deliver results that matter to you.
Search engine planning, advertising buys, and optimization are just a few of the many services we provide in website marketing.
Integrated services, integrated web experiences. We think of everything online.

How does game design progress as a profession? Game designers should have the same level of empowerment and credit for creations that is customary within other industries/media (movies/music/painting/etc…) Yet, this is rarely the case We gathered both positive and negative insights on how design is practiced from dozens of projects spread across successful game careers spanning decades.
Our exploration yielded three major topics:
The following are activities, biases and other practices that impede both game design and designers.
The following are conditions where designers thrive and the game design profession advances.
To guide game designers and the profession forward we created a Declaration of Game Designer Independence. This is not only for the designers who run their own companies or the creative directors who own the creative process but also for the designers in the trenches, aspiring to a leadership role. Let this drive our profession forward and keep us strong and united, ready to face and adapt to the ever changing market. This declaration defines a code by which design with thrives, becomes empowered and gets the credit of creations that is deserved.The Declaration of Game Designer Independence
With the creation of a code describing what it means to be a game designer, the related topic of a professional organization to help game designers achieve their goals also is in the air. After much discussion of various guild models, we decided the most appropriate group was one that existed to provide a guarantee of some kind that any designer possess certain skills and has been vetted by peers to be certified. To that end, we present these points (for more and discussion of these as well).
We've spent a fair amount of time studying the Guild model (an easy task in LA) and have generally found that they are designed to keep people out rather than actually show any degree of competence on an individual's part.Proposal
We realize that the arts tend toward a Guild model. A Certification Board implies a sense of business as well as craft and, we believe, will suit us better.

The 20th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards took place on Jan. 18, 2014, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Here is what this Screen Actors Guild Award winner said backstage in the Screen Actors Guild Awards press room.
Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries
Did you expect to win this award?
I so did not expect to win.
You mentioned nominee Elisabeth Moss from "Top of the Lake." Did you think she was going to win?
Yes. I was sure Elisabeth was going to win. I came in that lovely, comfortable relaxed state. I was sure that I wasn't going to win. I didn't have to get up and say anything. I could have a drink. Big mistake.
Elisabeth obviously won the Golden Globe, and fully deserved to, and I was sure that she was going to win again. So I was very surprised.
What is your opinion of Phil Spector?
I came upon this role in a very unexpected way. Bette Midler was originally playing the role. Now, would anyone cast Bette Midler and then think, "If she can't do it, who should we get? Let's get Helen Mirren!" Very strange connection.
But anyway, Bette Midler, unfortunately, had to drop out after she had shot for one week already with Al [Pacino], because she had a bad neck. She'd injured herself, and she couldn't carry on with the pain.
So they called up in a panic. I was on holiday in Italy. And this phone call comes, and it's David Mamet saying, "Would you like to do a film with Al Pacino?"
And I said, "When? Yes, I'd love to. When?" And they said, "Starting tomorrow. Can you get on a plane tomorrow?"
It was one of those moments when I had to leave my holiday and the lovely time I was having, and gird up my loins and face something that was going to be quite challenging for me and working with Al Pacino. So anyway, I lucked into this role. And obviously, it's enormously gratifying to be here.
Do you plan to do any more TV projects, particularly with HBO?
All of us actors want to work with Showtime and HBO, the two great cable channels. Of course, FX as well. Netflix nowadays is very exciting now, the work that Netflix is doing. The whole landscape of drama on film is changing so radically.
I'm much older now, but at least I'm still working at a time when things are changing. I think it's incredibly exciting. People can watch the kind of television they want to watch, when they want to watch it. It's a wonderful, exciting moment in television drama and film drama.
Your husband, Taylor Hackford, has been involved in the music business for various projects. Did he know Phil Spector?
He did.
And what revelations about the music industry did you get from doing this "Phil Spector" movie?
I don't really know or understand the music industry. I know a little from my husband. My stepson works in the music industry. So I know a little from them. Obviously, again, that industry has changed radically. And Phil Spector was very much of an era in that music industry, so incredibly influential, in terms of pure music.
My husband did work with him many years ago and had some quite fantastic Phil Spector-type stories to tell, which he shared with me. But I never met him myself. I would have been terrified to meet him, in all honesty.

For as long as I can remember, my mother has kept an old Erma Bombeck quote on her refrigerator:
"The easiest part of being a mother is giving birth. The hardest part is showing up every day thereafter."
This may be one of the only things on which my mother and I agree.
So what Mother's Day gift is appropriate for the woman who gave me life? Who thought I was a monkey when I was born because she didn't have her contacts in? Who taught me to tie my shoes and make the perfect scrambled egg sandwich? Nothing. I asked her. She's still mad at me for buying her a Christmas present.
Conversely, I'll tell anyone who'll listen what I want for Mother's Day: It's this gorgeous succulent wreath from Viva Terra.
Here are some ideas from other mothers who'd trade breakfast in bed for a garden-centric gift any day. When you take your cues from Mother Nature, you can't go wrong. (But keep the receipt, just in case).

You had a sneak peek of Deadpool vs X Force now it's time for the review. Deadpool vs X Force #1 became available July 2, 2014. The story is written by Duane Swierczynski. The wonderful art is by Pepe Larraz with cover art by Shane Davis. Cable and his new mutant crew, being called X Force even though all this is happening before X Force was really formed, have to travel back through time to stop a crazy masked mercenary named Wade Wilson. Wade Wilson aka Deadpool was sent back in time by Dr. Francis Talbot. Dr. Francis Talbot makes time machines and Cable knows that if anything happens to him that he won't be able to use the time machines in the future. Yeah in case you didn't know Cable does a lot of time traveling.
I was wondering if this comic was going to bring the funny and I was not disappointed. We have our same good ol' Deadpool and his mouth to keep us pretty entertained. We got killing jokes and we got ball jokes, what more could we ask for? The art work was gorgeous and the story was easy to follow and will give you a good laugh. My only complaint is that is wasn't long enough. As soon we Cable and X Force show up the comic is telling me that it'll be continued. But I guess that's my complaint with any comic I'm really getting into.
All in all, I really enjoyed this comic and I'm looking forward to reading more. I can't wait to see where Deadpool will time travel to next. I would love to see Deadpool travel back to Woodstock. A hippie Deadpool would make my day. Well we don't have to wait too long because the next issue of Deadpool vs X Force will be available on comic book store shelves July 23, 2014.

Losing a loved one to death is extremely difficult and the grieving that a person does is not an easy process. It is time-consuming and it is exhausting, both emotionally and physically. There are stages of grief, five primary ones, and they can come and go in no particular order at all. Just when you think that one stage is over with and you have moved on to the next, you might find that you are back at that last one all over again. This isn't unusual at all, so don't let it make you think that you will never complete the process. You will get through the period of grieving eventually, even though you will never forget the loved one that you have lost. Life will resume a sense of normalcy again and you will be able to move forward in your life again.
The five stages of grief are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
Denial is often the first stage of grief that people go through. In this stage, the person may know somewhere inside that the life of their loved one is over, but they refuse to truly acknowledge it, even to themselves. They may try and go on with life as usual, acting as though nothing has changed in their life. *Bargaining
In the bargaining stage of grief, the mourning person will try to make deals, usually with God. For instance, one may say, "I will give all of my extra money to charity if my loved one can come back to me". Things like this don't work, of course, but for the grief-stricken, it gives small moments of hope that maybe if they're just good enough, everything will go back to the way it was before tragedy struck.
There is a stage that people who are grieving will go through when they will become very angry. They aren't often certain who or what they are angry at, but they do know that they are most definitely angry at the situation.
Depression, another stage of grief, is normal, but it can be dangerous if it goes on too long and gets too intense. Depression can cause the mourner to begin to withdraw from their friends and family that care about them.
Finally, there will come a time when the grieving person will begin to accept the death and all of the emotions that have went with it. They will start to move on with their own lives and although they will continue to remember the loved one that they've lost, they realize that there is nothing they can do to change things. Therefore, they must accept and hold dear the memories of the loved one.

I know, I cringed at the use of the term "silencers" as well. I looked around and didn't see it posted any where, but you know how big this forum can be.

A couple of weeks ago, Balance Junkie wrote a post called Why This Is No Market for Couch Potatoes. The main argument of the post—one that has been made many times before—is that passive investing is fine during bull markets, but it likely won't work going forward because "we are in a secular bear market that began in 2000."
This argument picks up on a previous post, where Balance Junkie referred to passive investors as ostriches who ignore macroeconomic conditions when they invest: "Sticking your fingers in your ears and singing while the markets tank is not a good investing strategy."
This is a gross mischaracterization of passive investing, but I have to accept part of the blame. Balance Junkie referred to a recent column in MoneySense where I described the strategy as "the investing equivalent of flopping in front of the TV with a bag of Cheetos." I realize now that there's a problem with the terminology used by passive investors. Couch Potato, Sleepy, Lazy, Easy Chair, Gone Fishin',

There are two new movies opening this weekend in the movie theaters. However, as has been mentioned before, there are few big blockbusters intended by studios for this time of year. We are between the summer and fall seasons, and the studios are dumping their films that they feel should get a theater release, but are not destined for greatness.
Here are the movies opening August 29, 2014:
The November Man - Pierce Brosnan, Olga Kurylenko, Will Patton. Brosnan is a former secret agent (NOT James Bond, either) known as The November Man. He is a former CIA-agent known for his ability to kill and kill well. He has been retired for some time now, trying to live a quiet life, until he is asked out of retirement. It soon turns bad as moles within the organization reveal themselves and the danger gets higher and more intense. However, critics are saying that this one is boring, does nothing particularly original and is easily forgettable. Rated R.
As Above, So Below - Edwin Hodge, Ben Feldman, Perdita Weeks. Yet another installment in the found footage horror genre. This one takes place below the streets of Paris where one of the world's largest collection of bones make up the catacombs. A group of explorers and ghost hunters ventures down there and soon discover that the catacombs house a terrible, terrifying secret. Critics are saying that this one is just another boring entry in the found footage genre. Although it starts with a promising premise, it soon degenerates into mediocrity and cliches. Rated R.

Voices From the Field
Case Studies of Teacher Preparation programs and their experiences using edTPA.
- Columbus State University (PDF)
- Bemidji State University (PDF)
- University of Colorado, Boulder (PDF)
- University of Findlay, Ohio (PDF)
- University of Maryland, College Park (PDF)
"Yes, it's a lot of writing. But it's writing for a purpose. It's writing so that you are a better teacher because you are reflecting."
– Marcey Wennlund, Teacher, Blackwell Elementary School, Schaumberg, IL
"I love being able to take that evidence in and to say it's beyond anecdotal. We thought about these things but we've got evidence now." "
– Chandra Foote, Associate Dean and edTPA Coordinator at Niagara University, NY
"With edTPA a number of changes have taken place over the years. The fact is that we're collaborating with other people in the schoolhouse."
– Margaret Spicer, Director of Secondary Education at Morgan State University, and former principal in Baltimore
"[Teacher candidates] need to stop and be thinking practioners. Our mentor teachers have been great with helping us to get them to slow down and think."
– Elizabeth Wynkoop, Supervisor of Student Teachers & Lecturer at Towson University, MD
"Had I gone through a program that had required me to do the edTPA, I would have been a better first-year teacher."
– Niki T. Brown, Principal, Mary Harris "Mother" Jones Elementary School, Prince George's County, Maryland
"One of the things edTPA has done for our program is cause us to focus much more on issues of outcomes and evidence, as they relate to student learning."
– Marvin Lynn, formerly Associate Dean for Teacher Education at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
"About 70% of text from [edTPA] handbooks provides either an opportunity or prompt for candidates to reveal practices that reflect the elements of culturally relevant pedagogy. That's pretty significant."
– Maria Hyler, Assistant Professor at University of Maryland
Stephanie Wittenbrink, a Student Board member of the Washington Education Association and former NEA Board of Directors member, talks about how edTPA accelerated her preparation as a teacher candidate at Western Washington University http://www.nea.org/home/54775.htm
"I am a supervisor for secondary and middle science TPA scoring. I am also a benchmarker for edTPA in secondary science. I have absolutely become a fan of this whole process. I have found the process to be excellent with a minimum of glitches, and the ability to evaluate candidates in this way an effective tool. Although the rubrics are excellent, the video clips are the true strength of this assessment process. If a picture says a thousand words the videos do even more."
– Gwynne S. Rife, PhD, Professor of Biological Sciences and Education, Chair, Advanced Programs COE The University of Findlay
"The edTPA was designed and is scored by accomplished teachers and teacher educators from around the country. I believe this strengthens our profession, not only because the assessment creates more useful evidence about what teachers can do, but also because it creates a common language and set of expectations for teaching - defining characteristics of all professions."
– Beverly Falk, Ed.D., Professor and Director, Graduate Programs in Early Childhood Education, The City College of New York
"We have now completed several studies on the impacts of the TPA (and its forebear in California) on teacher preparation programs. While some college faculty view the assessment as an intrusion (particularly before they have direct experience using it), many more view it as a highly valuable source of feedback about what their teacher candidates are able to take up from their courses and apply in the classroom. Our studies indicate that, in the hands of thoughtful and proactive teacher educators, the TPA can be a powerful and effective tool for program improvement."
– Charles A. Peck, Professor of Teacher Education and Special Education, College of Education, University of Washington
"The TPA provides something long overdue in teacher education: a clear, concise, and precise definition of the core of effective beginning teaching. It takes us a step further than other professional licensure exams because it goes beyond knowledge and judgment and examines actual candidate performance."
– Amee Adkins, Associate Dean, Illinois State University
"…I have really dug into some of the [TPA] resources and found them extremely useful and I can see how this will really strengthen the teaching profession – and I agree with you….it is all about good teaching. We are in the process of revising our program here, and this is the perfect "goal post" to work toward. I am really excited about this – and anxious to get moving."
– Paul Busceni, Dean of Education, Kendall College
"As a former high school social studies teacher and current University of Colorado School of Education Instructor, I welcome a demanding and reliable way for the profession to identify the best young teachers and to counsel out those who are not ready for the classroom."
– Kent Willmann, Instructor, School of Education, University of Colorado Boulder
"In Tennessee, eight universities are piloting the TPA. Each report that the assessment has helped focus conversation around concrete images of sound teaching practices, and what is needed to learn them. At Vanderbilt, where we have used TPA data to make changes, our candidates are better prepared and more skilled -- according to school principals and teachers."
– Marcy Singer-Gabella, Professor, Vanderbilt Uniersity
"Most exciting to us is the potential for this assessment to improve both the practice of candidates and our practice as teacher educators. Throughout the pilot and field test, we have engaged our School of Education faculty in reviewing our candidates' performances. That experience is already helping us to fine tune the faculty-designed assessments we use prior to their student teaching semester."
– Mary Diez, Dean, School of Education, Alverno College

Fasting on Tuesday
These are common suggestions for Virgo Lagna in general. Please contact the Astrologer for specific recommendation according to your own personal horoscope.
The sign Virgo is the mooltrikona sign of the planet, Mercury. Mercury governs nervous system, abdominal umbilical region, bowel and intestines. It is a negative, human, earthy and barren sign and rules the power of analysis and discrimination. If the sign Virgo rises and Mercury is strong and well placed, a person gets attractive personality and is charming. The weak Mercury gives body with prominent veins, lack of witticism and lack of charm. The weak and afflicted Mercury causes sufferings through nervous breakdown, appendicitis, constipation, etc.
Their analytical nature makes Virgo borns thorough and critical, leading to
perfection. They are realistic in their
approach, weigh pros and cons carefully and are appreciative of the events liked by them. They are practical, fully
composed and sometimes perceived to be fussy. All these depend upon the strength and placement of Mercury in the natal chart. They are generally not content, because environment is quite away from idealism. The usual weakness of Mercury makes Virgos feel insecure in life. They are generally worrisome. Virgos are mostly truthful, sincere and dependable. The reason is that the house ruling character and inclination has the mooltrikona sign of the planet, Jupiter. The oft, existent weakness of Mercury makes Virgos nervous. The role played by functional malefics in making Virgos nervous is very significant.
The planets the Sun, Saturn and Mars turn functional malefics besides Rahu
and Ketu. The transit influence of
functional malefics on weak natal positions of Virgos rob them of stability, and encounters them with new troublesome situations, time and again. That is why Virgos are known as nervous, fussy and appear to be, or are insecure. Virgos are art lovers and artists. Mercury, their ruler, is the planet of communications. Mercury, when strong, gives them the art of communication, which helps them in entering the field of performing arts, if Venus, too, is strong and well placed in the nativity. A strong Mercury with a strong Jupiter, ruling the fourth house, blesses the native with all assets in life as the significations of the fourth house are dynamic in nature as observed earlier in the book. A strong and well placed Moon blesses them with fulfillment of desires and good income, while a strong and well placed Venus blesses them with advisory status and a happy married life.
Close conjunction of functional malefic, Saturn, with weak natal positions
generates disputes for the significations
ruled by weak natal planets or the houses. Close conjunction of functional. malefic, the Sun, generates losses and
expenses connected with the weak natal positions. While a strong Mars blesses Virgos with good inheritance, its
close conjunction/aspect with weak natal positions causes obstructions, accidents and violent end to the significations ruled by weak and afflicted natal positions. Apart from these conjunctions/aspects of functional malefics, the close affliction of Rahu and Ketu with Mercury can cause epilepsy or paralysis, while affliction to Jupiter can ruin the whole life of Virgos.
The collective weakness of Venus, ruling the second house, and Jupiter, ruling the fourth house, delays the marriage while bad placement of these planets and affliction causes denial/disturbed marital life to Virgos.
