Hy Yablonka
You're all so young.
Chiat/Day was founded in 1968 and worked out of a fairly trashy office on Olympic Boulevard in LA. One of the founding partners was Hy Yablonka, Creative Director. I regret to inform you that I heard from Hy's son, Mike, that Hy died this morning (Tuesday), 1/6) at around 4 a.m. Mike and his wife were at his side.
One of Hy's wishes was to die at home, and I'm so glad his son, Mike, was able to make this happen for him.
I've been on the phone a lot today, not gathering facts, but just allowing myself (and others) to mourn. Many thanks to Patty Kanin, who was married to Hy for many years.
Few people know this, but it was Hy who hired Lee Clow.
Even I, who started at C/D in 1977, remember the wonderfully grumbly Hy, with this fiery red hair. Bill Moorland told me he had a barber chair in his office at Olympic Boulevard, which successfully made the transition to the Biltmore.
He had an amazing, wry sense of humor - always expressed "sotto voce" - so you could barely hear him.
He did a lot of the early Apple work, plus Nike and Honda.
He opened C/D's San Francisco office, and he helped keep Bob Sunderland alive. Literally. Jay set up a "suicide watch" for Sunderland. (You can search this website for his story.)
You were greatly loved, Hy.
I also learned today that the great Val Maiquez died in November. When I worked at Chiat/Day. Val worked in accounting. But he had a very special talent. His accent was so thick, few people could understand him. So what was the perfect job for Val? Handling phone calls from angry vendors looking for their money, of course. Since the vendors couldn't understand him, he saved us a lot of money. (I think it was Eve Luppert who dubbed him "Disco Bal.")
Jay often did extremely generous things. Once he gave $100,000 (yes!) to every employee who had worked there for 10 years. Val was one of those recipients (as was I.) Jay's kindness enabled Val to buy his own house, for himself and his lovely wife, Virginia.

text: Technically, you have the power to influence the direction of a massive construction project...all with the survey data you provide to the project's managers. You can mess with the GPS coordinates at will; placing data points in anthills, landfills, and other undesirable locations. You can find ways to drag out projects for someone you don't like, taking three days for a survey that should have taken six hours. None of this is ethical, and this behavior certainly won't help your career prospects. In fact, this questionable conduct could even affect your surveyor's license. Conclusion: Although you might briefly enjoy this sense of absolute power, the potential consequences just aren't worth it. And you probably couldn't live with yourself.

SEBRING - For the past six months, Kasey Starling had become a surrogate mother to Ella, making sure Ella was healthy, fed and nurtured.
But Thursday would mark the end of their half-year relationship; within an hour, Ella - a 6-month-old hog - would soon belong to someone else, leaving Kasey with only fond memories and money for college.
Kasey was one of about 310 4-H and Future Farmers of America (FFA) eighth- to 12th-grade Highlands County students who took place in the 2014 Highlands County Fair Junior Livestock Sale auction.
Presented by the Highlands County Fair Association & Junior Livestock Committee, the annual judging-auction is an annual learning experience in responsibility and economics for students involved in agriculture programs. Held from 6:30 to 10 p.m. in the Livestock Arena, about 60 buyers from Highlands and surrounding counties put bids on the students' animals, in most cases, to reward the students for their efforts and possibly making a little investment themselves.
Decked out in jeans, boots and her denim FFA jacket as she stood in the spectator bleachers with friends and family, Kasey said she would save whatever money her hog brought for veterinary studies at the University of Florida. A hog she entered in 2012 netted her about $1,600.
"It's really not about the money; I enjoy the showing part of it more," said Kasey, 16, a junior FFA member at Avon Park High School. "I'm nervous at the beginning, but once you're out there, it's no big deal."
What is a big deal for the students involved in the auction, said Chad McWaters, vice-chairman of the fair's Junior Livestock Committee, is for the teens to be rewarded for the time they put into raising and caring for their animals. This year, he said about 30 steers, 30 heifers and 100 hogs were entered for judging and sale. Of the livestock brought to bids, buyers could keep, resale or have their purchase slaughtered by a facility for custom kill, cut and wrap.
For resale, steers were sold based on weight and market value of $1.20 per pound and sent to Nettles Beef Processing Inc., Lake City. Commercial heifers went for $1,050 per head; and hogs were sold for 55 cents a pound and sent to Lake City.
For those who opted to move their merchandise to the freezer, Nettles offered slaughtering and delivery service for steers and hogs; heifers are kept as breeding animals.
"The kids put time and effort into this and hopefully they make enough money in the end, which makes this like a little business venture. It helps them learn life principles," said McWaters, in his fourth year on the Livestock Committee.
Prior to the auction, each student brought his animal in front of three judges who rated each on its physical structure and attributes. Of the livestock judged, Amy Brumfield, Sebring High School FFA, won Grand Champion Steer; Emily Little, Sebring high FFA, won Grand Champion Commercial Heifer; and Eli Gullett, Avon Park FFA, won Grand Champion Hog.
All of the judging and showing is in essence done to woo the buyers, who are registered free for the auction but expected to make bids. This year, heifers and steers were averaging $2.50 per pound.
The auction took place in front of a packed arena of about 150 spectators and 150 buyers and their families. From a table on the dirt arena, auctioneer Brian Trimble of Okeechobee, who has been an auctioneer for about 30 years, rhythmically rambled numbers and scouted out bids flashed from the buyers. About 15 yards to his right, Julie Machia, mother of Sebring FFA member Lainie Machia, watched as her daughter left the ring.
"Doing this keeps her active in school and you have to have good grades to do this. It also helps them with money college-wise," she said.
Prior to the auction, the annual Buyers' Dinner was held in the hospitality hall adjacent to the auction arena. There, buyers and their families - some from as far as Okeechobee, Hendry and Glades counties - ate barbecue and discussed the trade.
Ned Hancock, an east Hardee County 78-head cattle owner and Avon Park citrus grower, said he mostly bid on heifers and kept them. He said he had attended the auction for about 15 years mostly to "reward the young people" for their hard work and perseverance in raising livestock.
"You see the kids that worked the hardest and try to help them. You can add on to the pricing too, that also helps," he said.
McWaters said Friday the Junior Livestock Committee members were still tabulating final figures on total pounds sold and final dollar figures for the auction and they wouldn't be available until sometime next week.
According to livestock show and sale, an exhibitor may sell two animals in the junior livestock auction, providing one animal is a commercial heifer and the other is a market steer or hog. All market animals must go through the sale ring and to slaughter.
Any exhibitor that "No Sales" their commercial heifer was charged not over than 5 percent livestock fee for all animals in their department and no less than $50. "No sale" meant the exhibitor said at final weigh-in that they would not sell the animal.

Water regime for wetland and floodplain plants
Water regime for wetland and floodplain plants: a source book for the Murray-Darling Basin was launched at the Commission's Managing Wetlands Workshop held in Canberra on Tuesday 6 September 2011.
This updated volume, authored by Dr Jane Roberts and Mrs Frances Marston, captures the wealth of research knowledge generated over the past decade about effective vegetation management as part of the ecology of our inland wetland and floodplain systems. Nineteen species were selected for their ecological importance and relevance to flows and flow management of Basin wetlands, floodplains and rivers. For each species, details are provided on the water regime, what is known about its ecological dependency on flow and the effect of this on growth, survival and capacity to reproduce.
The book is an invaluable resource for everyone involved in wetlands and floodplain management in the Murray-Darling Basin.

A peek into the world of the blind in an evening of dining in the dark.
by: Karina Calayag
The Blind Cafe' San Francisco held its second show March 21-23 this time at the Potrero Hill Neighborhood House, a proud sponsor of the three-day weekend event. The great venue had fabulous views of San Francisco but we were there for views of a different kind, for peeking into the world of the blind in an evening of dining in the dark; and if that's not enough, served by blind waiters.
It is pretty much known to most of us that we are made in such a manner that when one sense is diminished, our body through our remaining senses compensates accordingly. Hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling become stronger and more sensitive. But how exactly this is really like could not be fully comprehended until it is lived. For a few hours, I was among a hundred other guests trying to "see" a minuscule part of this world; how it is to eat, interact, and discovering what it must be like to be blind.
(Spoiler alert!) After enjoying a delicious welcome-cocktail from Spicy Vines at the foyer, the attendees were called out per their assigned table number and asked to line up into the walk-into-darkness formation. With one hand over the shoulder of the person in front, we were led by our blind servers into the dining room of darkness. One table-group at a time, through a series of blackout curtains, with each step forward darker until we had pushed the last curtain to the side, now by touch.
All outside light had been completely blocked off at this point. Unlike any darkened room we've seen before, there were no varying degrees of darkness. You won't see your hand if you placed it right in front of your face. It didn't matter if you turned your head around; whether you had your eyes closed, opened or, as I experimented, closing them tight and then reopening them; in pitch black darkness – it didn't matter. It could very well be an alter meaning to the old familiar movie title "eyes wide shut" knowing your eyes are wide open yet seeing absolutely nothing. We were led to our tables and were safely seated one at a time.
Everything became louder. I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I couldn't help but hearing and tuning into conversations all around me, even from other tables. Consequently, I became quieter conscious that my own voice would be heard by others and also to not add to the "noise." I am sure if there were a record of the decibel level in the room, of people having muted conversations, mostly whispers, that it would register a normal sound level, but with hyper-sensitized hearing it was l o u d .
My hands got busy feeling the table around in front of me so I could set my wine cup down. (I had snuck in a glass of wine from the foyer after getting a tip that there were no pouring drinks inside.) As I was searching for a spot for my plastic cup, I felt paper plates of food laid out in front of me, and a water bottle. My sensitivity to touch was heightened being jumpy to unanticipated touches. In an attempt to steal my cup of wine, my husband was feeling his way around to where it was and his unexpected touches inadvertently freaked me out. There was an element of wariness to surprises leaving you feeling vulnerable and "on alert"-edgy. Trust was all important in this environment.
A series of strange things happened. There was suddenly a flicker of light barely perceptible but obvious enough in pitch dark, and it was coming from the person sitting next to me. Wondering what it was, the gentleman beside me said he was just turning off his hearing aid as, interestingly enough, it also got too loud for him. The faint pop of light occurred when he switched off his tiny hearing device, never seen by this man himself until that time. Fascinated by his discovery, he turned his hearing aids on and off a few more times.
Then there were these scant sparks of light like fireflies randomly appearing around. It was light from the static of plastic wrap as the guests started peeling them off the plates, much to all our surprise and amazement. No one there seemed to have ever seen light from removing plastic wrap before either.
There were no utensils. After the general reconnaissance-groping of the table layout in front of you, the next step in this new dining experience was touching, feeling, smelling and wildly guessing what was inside each plate. All these were prerequisites to deciding which were to be brought to the mouth – or not. We've all picked up food before but without seeing them first it becomes a whole different proposition. The taste and the mouth-feel were yet another case of discovery, oddity. You eat slower perhaps with a bit of hesitation but with certainly more thought into each bite still determining what it is you are about to swallow as your mouth felt through the textures. As a result, you savor more too, I found. Chef Kaz Mitsune of Breakthrough Sushi prepared the menu. Imagine eating this spread with your bare hands, sight unseen:
Grilled Eggplant with Sweet Miso Glaze
Portobello Mushroom with Tofu, Spiced Sunflower and Pumpkin Seeds, Onion, Garlic with Coconut Curry Sauce
Dashi Marinated Spinach with Sweet Tahini Sauce
Avocado Cucumber with Cashew Wasabi Cream
Vegan Meatballs with Classic Chinese Sauce
Stir Fried Shitake Mushroom, Red and Yellow Bell Peppers, Corn, Red Onion
The boosted hearing and listening, touching and feeling, tasting, "seeing," were not all that was elevated. A different kind of sight, in-sight, was all of a sudden activated while sitting quietly in the dark. It was a phenomenon, I later learned, that other guests apparently experienced as well. While the outer vision was completely dimmed, the inner vision came into focus and thoughts became clearer. I couldn't help but be rushed with memories, imaginations and hopes. It was an instance of introspection, all coming in a very natural flow as if I purposefully went into meditation. And because no one can see you, you were free to shed a tear or smile or even kiss (hopefully your date) and not be embarrassed about it. In the cloak of darkness the discomfort of vulnerability and the security of privacy co-existed.
The meal was followed by a Q&A with a few blind volunteers sharing their perspective on the blind side of life. I found it remarkable how the blind community is integrated into the community and the world at large – through technology, because of course.
The event ended with a mini-concert which I think went on just a bit too long. Maybe it was because I had become overly sensitive to sound and had met my threshold for auditory stimulation. I naturally tuned out but thankfully as I was on the verge of falling asleep, a beautiful finale' of finale's woke me up. A tiny light emerged from the darkness, from a lighter which lit a candle that touched another candle, and another, until the room was light and we could see again.
To sum up the experience, The Blind Cafe' is an out-of-the-box opportunity where one will learn to appreciate and be sympathetic to the plight of our blind neighbors. On a personal level, it was an out-of-comfort-zone environment that allowed for heightened awareness not only on the outside world but also within ourselves tapping our mind's eye and into our heart. On both counts, it was a transformational experience with profound impact.
I reached out for comments from a few of The Blind Cafe' guests on their experience.
"This night us not for the faint of heart. It enables you tap into a 6th sense, a heartstring sense, that you otherwise would not experience with your vision. It's rare that you have the opportunity in this city to celebrate regional food and wine pairings and a concert in the dark, all to benefit the beautiful and blind community." - Lena Koenig, San Francisco
I went into The Blind Cafe excited to try something new. I had no idea how much the total darkness, and reliance on other people and other senses, would crack me open. I left with more than just empathy for persons who are blind; I left with a profound gratitude for the beauty of human resilience, including my own.
Top reason to go: It will make you a better human.
- Josh Klipp, San Francisco
The food, music, and entire atmosphere was enhanced by the pitch blackness of the venue. The experience overall made me appreciate my eyesight, but also allowed me to become more connected and mindful of my other four senses. Very 'eye-opening' and highly recommended! - Johanna G, Fremont
I found the whole experience really rewarding. I have been telling all my friends to do it at least once. It's an experience you really can't explain until you actually do it. When you can't see, all your other senses get more in tune and this experience gives you a whole new perspective on life. - Frank G, San Francisco
Curiouser, I continued reaching out this time to interview someone who could expound on the topic of the blind life. Collette Simko-Knauss, master organizer/event planner of The Blind Cafe SF connected me to Richie Flores via email. I assumed that because Richie and I were exchanging emails he was sighted and was an aide to the blind. But I soon realized Richie spoke in first person which led me to pause and clarify directly if he were blind. "Yes mam. Both Darian (another volunteer) and I are totally blind, and I'm using a computer with a JAWS which stands for Job Access With Speech to communicate with you over email." My own jaw dropped.
Poor Richie now faced an onslaught of random questions from me on everyday life and his career. Here is our engaging email communique':
KC: At The Blind Cafe' you had mentioned in particular your use of the iPhone. I'm curious. Please tell me more about this and your use of technology.
Richie: "Both Darian and I use the iPhone. It is the only product that has Voice Over access right out of the box. It does not require any additional software. iPhones are utilized for pretty much all the same reasons others use them. We can read our emails, text, use the Siri and dictate approach. We can access aps, although aps are individually created so access is not always available. I currently have a neat ap to read books through the National Library Service called BARD. I believe that means Braile and Audio Reading Download. I also take voice memos and text notes to myself. The appointment and calendar feature on the iPhone is also very useful in my career. There are aps that access our banks, determine the color of items, and GPS information."
KC: GPS - How do you use this? What do you do for work/career?
Richie: "There's this pretty neat ap on my iPhone called Blind Square. It is a blind version of Foursquare, with GPS capability. I relied on it tons in San Francisco to inform me of the nearest train station, bus stop, restaurants… I am a Vocational Enrichment Consultant the coordinates youth initiatives for blind students in Texas. You can view some of my work at www.nfbtx.org ."
KC: Do you use emoticons and can you detect it when you get it? Are you able to access .pdf files, scanned documents?
Richie: "Sometimes access technology picks up smilies, frowns, clinking beer mugs is my favorite. It varies though on the device being used. iPhone will announce this. JAWS is spotty.
There are a few software for the blind that convert PDF to text documents. I use a note-taker Braille Sense that converts pdf. Kurtzweil reading technology also converts scanned documents analyzing print materials for access."
KC: Were you born blind?
Richie: "I went blind due to cancer in the retinas at the age of 2. I'm 32 now."
KC: There are many challenges in the blind community but among all of that, what is the number one most important to you that should and could be better. In other words, what bugs you the most being blind. Do you have any ideas what the solution might be and how this can be achieved?
Richie: "The real problem with blindness is not the loss of eyesight, rather the misconceptions and misunderstandings that exist. The blind must learn the value of sharing this with our society to develop a better tomorrow for the blind community. The youth programs that I teach always include curriculum revolved around the concept that it is okay to be blind; the practice of blindness skills; the art of coping with public attitudes; the value of blending in, and the importance of giving back. These are the Five Essential Elements that create success in our community. Engaging in empowering events that spark these concepts such as The Blind Cafe' help us in building toward a brighter future for the blind. Literacy, employment, and socialization are all areas that can be improved upon, and are the 3 societal barriers I emphasize while educating my sighted peers."
The Blind Cafe' is a pop-up event founded by Brian "Rosh" Rocheleau (sighted) with co-founder, Gerry Leary (blind) in Feb 2010 with their first series of dine-in-the dark events in Boulder, CO. The March 21-23 series was The Blind Cafe's 2nd show in San Francisco (the first was last October.) They have shown in many cities across the US; Portland OR, Austin TX, Boulder CO, Aspen CO, Cincinnati OH, Burlington VT and Seattle WA.
The Blind Cafe' does NOT try to perfectly recreate blindness. Instead, it allows people to interact, trust each other, and experience community in an entirely new way.
A portion of the proceeds is donated to select nonprofit groups that support and advocate for the blind community and the partnering blindness organizations for their consult, hospitality, and keynote speaking services.
Richie Flores is originally from Austin and has partnered with Rosh since The Blind Cafe' at Austin in 2011. He is the Keynote speaker at The Blind Cafe' SF.
"I do my best to connect The Blind Cafe' with the local blind community. Darian Smith-President of the local chapter of the NFB - National Federation of the Blind - in San Francisco, has been our most active contributor thus far. I am the Executive Director of the company known as the VEX Project. This company has a mission to redefine blindness to a mere inconvenience. The Blind Cafe' and other public relations opportunities allow us to convey this message. It is with great enthusiasm to provide The Blind Cafe' with an educational perspective to blindness. In addition to the Blind Cafe', I've coordinated youth programs in Texas for the National Federation of the Blind. We currently have a mentor program for blind teens and young Adolfs, and a summer camp for blind elementary students focused on literacy. I also write and perform folk rock music with my band The Constellation Prize. I've written a song called The Darkness that was inspired by my connection and experience with the Blind Cafe. I believe our mutual appreciation for music and community development initiates a great partnership between Rosh and I. Rosh allows me to share my music as well, and I very much appreciate him for this." – Richie Flores
Special thanks to: the organizer of the event, Collette Simko-Knauss, President, EventsbyCollette and Marketing Chair Potrero Dogpatch Merchants Association, for the eye-opening experience and putting me in touch with Rosh and The Blind Cafe, and for making post-event interviews possible; to Richie Flores (blind) Keynote speaker who discussed on being blind; to the guests who took the time and shared their perspective from the blind community; and last but not least, to Rosh Rocheleau, for bringing The Blind Cafe', and everything it stands for, to San Francisco.

Adult and Higher Education Ph.D.
The doctoral program in Adult and Higher Education is directed toward the development of scholars and practitioners in Adult and Higher Education and is intended to serve individuals who have promise of making scholarly and professional contributions to the field of Adult and Higher Education. Doctoral emphases within the Adult and Higher Education program include:
The Ph.D. program in Adult and Higher Education is intended to be flexible in order to serve the professional developmental needs of the individual doctoral student. However, in order to enhance the success of completion of the program, all doctoral candidates are expected to take a certain number of research proficiency courses and will be expected to fulfill residence requirements. Graduate students must make a grade of "B" or better in core classes (EDAH 5013, EDAH 5023, EDAH 5033, EDAH 5043), if taken. There was a moratorium on this policy from Aug 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014. Effective Spring 2015 this moratorium has been lifted and we have returned to the original policy. Note that Ph.D. students are not required to take core courses but are required to take the qualifying exam if a previous master's degree was not from EDAH; this exam is based on the core courses and comprehensive knowledge of adult and higher education. See a faculty advisor for specific academic advising.
Prospective students should review both the Graduate College Bulletin and information on the website under the ELPS Student Resources section, which describes in greater detail the procedures and requirements for doctoral study in Adult and Higher Education.

College Teaching Certificate
The College Teaching Certificate is offered by the Adult and Higher Education program at the University of Oklahoma. Earning the certificate demonstrates that the participants have focused a segment of their professional and graduate training on preparing to teach at the post-secondary level. Throughout the course of the program, students will develop proficiencies in pedagogical theory and instructional strategies relevant to the college classroom. This Certificate is authorized by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and will be noted on the transcript of participants who complete the program.
Who should be interested?
This program is intended primarily for graduate students who are preparing for college-level teaching careers, regardless of the discipline in which they plan to teach or the type of higher education institutions in which they plan to teach.
Why was the program started?
While most new faculty members feel comfortable in regard to their knowledge of their respective disciplines, it is not uncommon to feel unprepared for the demands of teaching and unfamiliar with the nature of an academic environment. The College Teaching Certificate addresses this need in two ways. First, it insures that the future faculty member has teaching experience at the college level, as well as an opportunity to discuss and analyze that experience. Second, it provides instruction regarding the nature of the adult learner, instructional strategies that can be utilized in a variety of teaching circumstances, and an understanding of the college environment and the nature of the professoriate in American higher education.
What advantages might I gain from participation?
Besides the obvious advantage of enhanced preparation for a college teaching career, you will receive a certificate indicating that you have completed a program of preparation for college teaching positions. In addition, your transcript will reflect the fact that you have earned this certificate. Since this is a relatively unique program, such deliberate preparation can give you a professional advantage when entering a competitive job market for college-teaching positions.
Can courses count toward my degree?
The twelve credits required for the College Teaching Certificate are all in graduate-level courses. Discuss this matter with your major professor and graduate committee.
For more information on possible tuition assistance, please visit the following link for the Graduate College: http://www.ou.edu/content/gradweb/aud/current/funding.html
Do I have to enroll or begin at a particular time?
lNo. The courses are not sequential, and you can begin at any time in your graduate studies.
Do I need to complete a form to participate in this program?
Please visit the following link for the Graduate College to access additional certificate information: http://www.ou.edu/content/gradweb/academic_programs
What are the requirements?
In total, the certificate requires successful completion in the Graduate Teaching Academy and in four 3-hour EDAH courses for a total of 12 hours of coursework. The student must enroll in EDAH 5103, Instructional Strategies in Adult & Higher Education, and EDAH 5910, Practicum in Adult and Higher Education. Students must also enroll in two courses selected from the following list:
EDAH 5123, Decision Making in Adult and Higher Education
EDAH 5233, Research on the College Student
EDAH 5133, The American Community Junior College
EDAH 5243, Financial Management in Higher Education
EDAH 5153, Legal Aspects of Higher Education
EDAH 5253, Institutional Research in Higher Education
EDAH 5163, Diversity Issues in Higher Education
EDAH 5263, Planning in Higher Education
EDAH 5213, History of American Higher Education
EDAH 5333, Program Planning for the Adult Learner
EDAH 5223, Foundations of Student Affairs in Higher Education
EDAH 5553, Evaluation Strategies for Learning and Performance
What is the practicum?
The practicum is designed to give the student college teaching experience under supervision within their home academic department. Teaching assistants or others with college teaching experience may waive this requirement and replace it with an approved course from the above list of optional courses.
What is the Graduate Teaching Academy?
The Graduate Teaching Academy is a two-semester, weekly meeting for Graduate Teaching Assistants and Research Assistants who plan to teach. There are no costs or credits associated with the Academy, but participation is required for the certificate. In the first semester, participants attend seminars where invited faculty from across campus discuss fundamental practices in college teaching. Finally, participants begin building a teaching portfolio by writing a teaching statement and developing a career plan.

It was Tuesday and a long way from the weekend. The town seemed to drift by the windows of my car as I drove to work. For some reason that day, I was aware that I was driving more slowly to the dental office. When I started practice five years earlier, I was always in a hurry to get there. But today was so wintery beautiful with a deep blue sky deep and some high wispy clouds that my mind wandered back to my youth when days like this were often full of relaxation and adventure. I dreamed about having an easy day without office worries, a day I could spend with my wife and daughters. I would have to find the time to do that... someday.
I was in my parking place before realizing I had been driving on "autopilot." The parking lot was filled with the familiar cars of my employees and my eight o'clock patients had already arrived. They were on time. I was the one who was late. To be honest, I was arriving later every day.
I grimaced as I noticed my most recent "problem patient" exiting his car. Now what? Another adjustment? I sat and wondered what else my day would bring. When I began practice, I would have looked at the next day's schedule before going home, but I had stopped doing this when I realized I was spending every evening thinking about the fires I would have to put out the next day.
Every day seemed to be like the next. I just wanted to make it to the weekend. Although my days were filled and busy, I was unhappy. I wondered if I was just bored and maybe I was feeling out of control. Obviously, I wasn't "in control," nor was I doing what would make me happy. But what would that look like for me? Was I going to spend my life feeling like a victim of circumstance?
I sat in the car checking my phone for messages and listening to the traffic and weather reports on the radio – anything to postpone opening that car door. Grasping the door handle, I glanced at the passenger seat and remembered an errand I planned to do after work. On the seat, was a vintage book that had belonged to my father. It was one of his few possessions that I had kept. Frequently he had read this book in the evenings.
The binding was loose. The clasp was bent and no longer functional. The covers were unevenly worn and the pages had yellowed. The once gilded edges were barely visible. But despite these multiple problems, it was still readable and deserved to be restored in the best way possible. I had recently spotted a book repair shop while driving to and from my office. How odd it was that I had never noticed the shop until I had decided to find someone capable of refurbishing the book.
Bracing myself, I entered my office through the side door. My hygienist immediately met me. Her first appointment was a new patient who needed pre-medication. Should we reschedule or just give the tablets and wait? My decision was for her to keep the appointment but that put her behind for the rest of the day, and this later resulted in having to reschedule her last patient, as both she and her last patient had to pick up their children at school.

Reading and managing emails is one half of the story. Composing them is the other half, and Gmail just went in for an improvement there. We could open a separate window to write a new email earlier too by clicking "Shift" while clicking the Compose button, using the Shift+c shortcut or clicking the pop-out icon. Using a separate window to write emails allows you continued access to your inbox. Gmail believes that this wasn't used by many, and so they have gone about improving it so it is more prominent and gives you more control.
The Compose window has been redesigned to be faster and easier to use. The new Compose gets its own chat-like (but larger) pop-up window. You don't have to close your draft to reference or read other emails. As it works like a chat window, you can write multiple messages at once and minimize a message to finish it later.
You can now also see profile pics of your contacts in the address field as auto-complete kicks in. You can drag and drop the new address 'chips' between the To, CC, and BCC fields. When all recipients have been added, the address area collapses automatically to get out of your way. Other changes include a new icon for text formatting, an icon for attachments and a "+" icon for embedding photos, links, emoticons and Google Calendar events.
Improvements have also been made to the way you reply. The changes are being rolled out gradually. To try the new interface, open Gmail, click the Compose button and look for the new compose experience link right next to the Labels button. You can switch back to the old interface if you don't like the new interface.

During Saturdays at the River City Farmers Market, shoppers will see an extra booth lined up with the produce stands, a new addition set up for food pantries all across Washington County.
Farmers Market President Gary Smith said the partnership with the food pantries is going to be weekly with a different organization to benefit each Saturday.
"I think it's really going to be beneficial in getting people who need the product the food," said Smith. "We're doing it for the whole county; it's going to benefit the whole area."

Gospel Mission volunteer Bob Harlow, 68, of Marietta, far left, checks produce slated to go to the food pantry during the River City Farmers Market Saturday, while Jeff Waite, left, operator of the pantry, talks to Tammy Hughlett, 47, and Janet Stacy, far right.
Janet Stacy, of Stacy's Family Farm, said she got the idea after attending the Athens Farmers Market.
"In Athens, they do something similar (to this)," she said. "We felt that this was something the market could do to help supply the pantries with what they need to help others."
Through the partnership, the food pantries can go to the market and set up a table free of charge, said Smith. Shoppers at the market can either bring in canned food, or other items the pantry may need, and donate them, make cash donations or they can buy fresh produce from vendors at the market and donate that to food pantries.

"We just want to help the community out," Smith said.
The first of the pantries to be supplied with fresh produce was the Gospel Mission in Harmar on Saturday.
After receiving about 150 pounds of fresh produce like corn, green peppers, squash and apples, Jeff Waite, who operates the food pantry with wife, Candy, said the produce is going to help a lot of people.
"I think it is a wonderful idea (the farmers market has) come up with," said Waite. "It takes food grown locally and keeps it in hands locally. I give them a lot of credit, stepping up and doing that."
Waite said it is an honor to be able to participate.
"It enables us, along with cash donations to buy food, to also have fresh produce we can give out to individuals," he said. "We're honored to be a part of that."

Choose Your
G20 Iron Set
2012 PING G20 Black Dot Iron Set, 4-PW! Display Model.
This PING set was opened at a Pro Shop, but never displayed. These irons are still in their new condition with the exception of minor marks probably due to contact during shipping. They've never been hit and never been taken outside. There are NO scratches on the bottom of the clubs to indicate they've even been swung, and there are no scratches on the club faces. The are for all purposes still new except for the wear marks already indicated.
The matching authorization/registration numbers are stamped on the heels of each club, so you know they're a complete, unregistered set. You may still register them if you'd like.
This a new set of 2012 Ping G20 irons, featuring a new Custom Tuning Port which expands perimeter weighting and increases MOI. The thinner face of the G20 Iron helps position weight to the toe for added forgiveness. The wider sole provides a higher launch angle.
Strong lofts and a low center of gravity produce long shots with a high trajectory and maximum forgiveness.
The G20 iron set is very similar to the G15's, with a slightly wider sole and a new soft layer on the back to help with sound, feel and vibrations.
The steel shafts also look new, with more evenly spaced steps than the traditional AWT shafts, with a unique and interesting feel.

He was kind enough to wear a MACC Fund hat for a press conference the week of the Vikings game and spoke eloquently about the MACC Fund in the Packer vs. Vikings game day program. The MACC Fund was also mentioned in a recent story about him in Sports Illustrated.
"A Pack Lunch With Aaron Rodgers" in Green Bay on December 4 at one of the great "Packer Party Houses" is the latest event Aaron is doing to help the MACC Fund. It features a unique "lunch hour" with Aaron from Noon – 1 PM with food and beverages, a Holiday Gift Bag with great collectibles, a chance for an autograph or two, the 2010 TODAY'S TMJ4 MACC*Star designed by 7-year-old Emilie Janzen who has benefitted from MACC Fund supported research and a generous year-end donation to the MACC Fund. All in all, like Aaron, it's a winner in every way. For more information, please download the brochure.
The MACC Fund thanks Aaron and his great business management team from RBSH Enterprises for this great opportunity. We hope you will treat yourself or a special friend to this great holiday gift idea.

MUMBAI: Tata Consultancy Services is ready to show off its 'non-linear' revenues for the first time next month, setting a benchmark for India's information technology (IT) services industry with a metric that is being closely watched as a sign of companies' maturity and competitiveness.
A measure of revenue productivity, 'non-linear' growth has been on the lips of every Indian software company which thinks it is vital to break the stubborn link between sales growth and headcount addition. By deciding to make 'non-linear' revenue data public every quarter, India's largest software exporter could be challenging its rivals to do likewise and set off a revenue productivity race.

Good day,
Here is a heartfelt testimonial from a Memorial volunteer, who recounts her experience from "the other side of the bed."
Thank you.
Dear Mr. Sacco,
I recently wound up in your cath lab at Memorial Cardiac and Vascular Institute. Dr. Bassel Ibrahim was worth the wait. What a guy– he's the rock star of the heart world! He did my cath, found the trouble, and gave my husband and me three options for treatment. We made the decision, and I slept over in a private room. Dr. Ibrahim took me really late the next day but fixed me up. What an extraordinary doctor! I imagine he has saved so many lives. He's remarkable, as is my beloved cardiologist, Dr. Adam Splaver.
Patricia from Outpatient Registration always has a warm greeting for all who arrive. Maria, the OP registrar, has a friendly smile and reassuring manner, and my transporter, Dolores, is always a sweetheart.
The next great team to get me ready included: Lisa, clinical leader; Solomon, at Memorial Cardiac and Vascular Institute; Sue and Angie, prep nurses; and Tracey, procedure nurse. Five stars to a great team of professional, kind, reassuring people who do a great job. I was terribly scared, but they really made me feel better.
Back in my private room, I was introduced to my wonderful RN, Magda. What a great nurse! She was kind, nurturing and reassuring. The next morning, I woke to meet my new RN, Guinette, who was assisted by Marcia. They are both terrific, professional women, with great care and great conversation.
I found that 6 Central runs like clockwork – the best floor ever! Beautiful, tiny "Cyclone Edna" Trepanier came in, ponytail flying, and sat on my bed. I thought, OMG, the nurse manager is not only sitting on my bed, but she's talking to me, and she pushed me out in my wheelchair herself upon my discharge!
Then, Mother Teresa visited me. Well, it was actually Francine Garciagomez, nurse practitioner, who came to my bedside, took my hands in hers, and apologized. Dr. Ibrahim had three heart procedures, and I was going to be really late that evening. I thought I would die from fear. But Francine said all the things you want to hear when you are so frightened. Somehow, I felt God's presence through her and calmed down a bit. She knew me and cared about me. The procedure team – Gabriel, Iwan, Alberto, Katie and Yami – was also wonderful.
Dr. Ibrahim had finished with me at about 11 pm, but later on, Donna Sassano saw a hematoma. For 30 minutes or longer, she applied pressure, used countless gauze pads, and reassured me that I was going to be fine and live. Sure enough, it did pass. She stayed by me and helped roll me back up to my room. She was such a pro, such a wonderful blessing.
On my last morning in the hospital, splendid Cynthia was my RN, and she was five-stars great. Helpers Ruth and Bernadette and housekeeping's Jessica were terrific, too.
When I look at it, I wonder how I had the presence of mind to remember all these great folks. It's important to give them credit and thanks. They make the hospital great and made me prouder than ever to be a volunteer in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
Donna, Francine and Edna together built my courage and allayed my over-the-top fears. I had the best dream team of heart doctors. I had Memorial's best employees. I'm alive and home. And I thank all of you.

The Aeneid
by Virgil
The Aeneid Duty Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Book.Line). We used Robert Fitzgerald's translation.
Quote #1
So ran the speech. Burdened and sick at heart,
He feigned hope in his look, and inwardly
Contained his anguish. […]
Aeneas, more than any, secretly
Mourned for them all (1.284-286, 300-301)
These lines come at the beginning and the end of the Trojans' feast on the beach in Book 1. They show the burdens of leadership: even though Aeneas feels more saddened than anyone else for the loss of their companions, he also has to hide his grief more than anyone else, so that he can keep up the survivors' spirits.
Quote #2
"I am Aeneas, duty-bound, and known
Above high air of heaven by my fame,
Carrying with me in my ships our gods
Of hearth and home, saved from the enemy.
I look for Italy to be my fatherland,
And my descent is from all-highest Jove." (1.519-524)
This is how Aeneas introduces himself to the huntress he meets in the forest of Libya (actually, the huntress is his mother, Venus, in disguise). They reveal how much his mission and responsibilities make up his identity.
Quote #3
Amazed, and shocked to the bottom of his soul
By what his eyes had seen, Aeneas felt
His hackles rise, his voice choke in his throat.
As the sharp admonition and command
From heaven had shaken him awake, he now
Burned only to be gone, to leave that land
Of the sweet life behind. (4.379-395)
What could make someone so eager "to leave that land / Of the sweet life behind"? Duty, that's what! Mercury (who was sent down by Jupiter) has just reminded Aeneas of his responsibilities to establish a kingdom for his son Ascanius, which won't happen if he spends all his time with Dido, helping her build her city.

Former Professors Sue Ave Maria School of Law
Three former professors of Ave Maria School of Law are suing the school, its dean and its founder, Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan, after they were in essence fired earlier this year. Here's the complaint. (HT: Leiter)
The three are charging that they were in effect dismissed from the school for reporting violations by the dean, Bernard Dobranski, and others at the school to law-enforcement agencies, including Michigan's Attorney General, and the American Bar Association. The ABA recently told the school it had "reason to believe" that the school isn't in compliance with a standard "to establish and maintain conditions adequate to attract and retain a competent faculty."
The 20-page complaint focuses the most on plaintiff Stephen Safranek, among the first professors to teach at the school, who reported to authorities his concerns about some Ave Maria staff members' alleged obstruction of a criminal investigation and the legality of the school's federal income-tax return, among other things.
According to the complaint, on the tax return, the school represented former Supreme Court nominee and Ave professor Robert Bork "as being a full-time tenured faculty member…while paying him as an independent contractor through the Bork Law Firm, PC." (The Law Blog has reached out to Bork.) The suit also says Safranek reported to authorities that certain staff at Ave Maria obstructed "a criminal investigation into a priest's alleged involvement in sex offenses, including possession of child pornography."
Safranek was suspended after the school claimed he engaged in some trivial wrongs — from calling the dean a "liar" to his face — and some more serious ones, such as intimidating the dean's assistant in the parking lot, a charge Safranek denies.
Dobranski released this statement: "We are confident that the actions of the School of Law were both proper and legal and we look forward to the court coming to this same conclusion."
The complaint, filed in Washtenaw County circuit court in Michigan, against the Ann Arbor school — which is set to move to Monaghan's community in southwest Florida in 2009 — is the culmination of months of turmoil that has put the school's accreditation at risk. (Click here and here for prior Law Blog coverage.)
The controversy took off in 2006, during a period when the school's board of governors began to look seriously at moving the school. Some professors, lecturers and a few dozen students have since left.

E3 2014: Welcome to the new E3, same as the old E3
It's that magic time again. Every gamer physically able has descended on E3 2014. It's bright, shining, glorious, new, and… honestly not that much different than last year. There are the same kinds of banners adorning face of the LA Convention Center, most bought by Ubisoft, Sony, and Square Enix. An Assassin's Creed is front and center, Sony's monopolizing the front of the West Hall, and there are various outdoor installations for the few people who will be venturing outside to enjoy.
Not to mention, Atlus has again supplied the badge insert for every attendee. Nothing like seeing Teddie's bright, shining face staring back at you. Er, scowling, actually.
Okay, maybe it's sometime unsettling, but still.
The thing is, the consistency isn't such a bad thing when it comes to E3. We expect certain things from our expo experience, and it's a comfort to see some things remain the same each year. I probably speak for all members of the press when I say I'm a big fan of the E3 2014 floor plan resembling that of previous years. It makes scheduling appointments and working out a game plan so much easier.
It's also comforting when it comes to announcements. We know with each E3 2014, that there are failsafes. We'll see installments in established series like Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, and perhaps even Halo, Uncharted, Zelda, or Mario. For better or worse, there will always be a Sonic. It lets us know that there's constantly something to root for. Even if the triple AAA, unexpected, new IPs disappoint, we can always take heart in knowing that the latest installment of a familiar timesink looks a little bit better this year.
The occasional surprises are lovely, of course. We appreciate all of them. But, sometimes the things I look forward to most at E3 are the ones that haven't really changed. I like knowing the staples will always be here, ready to give me a reason to be excited and go on, just in case.

Managing Discovery of Electronically Stored Information in Illinois
Jeffrey A. Parness
Northern Illinois University - College of Law
June 13, 2013
101 Illinois Bar Journal 316 (June 2013)
The discovery challenges posed by ESI – electronically stored information – are being expressly addressed in court rules operating in the federal courts and some state courts. Illinois judicial rulemakers have yet to act. If they do, wholesale borrowing from other jurisdictions would be ill-advised as there are some unique differences in Illinois discovery, as with evidence preservation obligations.
The article explores how the Illinois rules might be amended to meet ESI challenges given current Illinois norms, and what Illinois judges and practitioners can do now when faced with ESI discovery challenges.

What is UPF protection?
Now we're not talking about the United Peace Federation – maybe later. We are talking about the Ultraviolet Protection Factor rating in clothing.
We all remember from growing up (especially here in Arizona) that sunscreen was essential for outdoor
A few years ago this acronym, UPF, popped up from almost no where. Is it SPF for clothing? Kinda. What actually is it? It's been around since 1998 and most people know that it's good for you in the sun, but they don't know the science or reasoning behind it. As we enter into these sun-intensive summer months, let's explore what UPF is.
The first thing to know about UPF is the rating system.
UPF Rating
Protection Category
% UV radiation Blocked
93.3 - 95.9
Very Good
96.0 - 97.4
97.5 – 97.9
Ultimate in UV Sun Protection
98.0 or more
As you can see from this table, the higher the UPF rating, the higher the percentage of UV protection and that means the more protected you are from the sun's harmful rays. This is important because we do not realize that clothes without this UPF rating can let these rays through to our skin. We could wear the appropriate hat and the best sunscreen money can buy, but we are still vulnerable through our clothing. This is why it is essential to upgrade your outdoor clothing to UPF rated stuff.
There are a number of factors that affect the level of ultraviolet protection provided by a fabric and the UPF rating. In order of importance these are: weave (tighter is better), color (darker is better), weight (also called mass or cover factor - heavier is better), stretch (less is better) and wetness (dry is better). The other major factor that affects protection is the addition of chemicals such as UV absorbers or UV diffusers during the manufacturing process. Many factors that make a garment comfortable also make it less protective – the major design challenge for sun protective clothing is how to combine comfort, style and protection in the one garment (http://www.coolibar.com/upf-ratings.html). Check out today's UV Index in your area here.
So now that we have a bit of understanding as to what UPF rated clothing is and what it entails, let's have a look at a couple of examples from head to toe…
Columbia Omni-Shade Schooner Bank Hat UPF 50 - $20
UV Buff Headwear UPF - $23
UA HeatGear Tech T-Shirt UPF 30+ - $25
Columbia Omni-Freeze Woven Shirt UPF 50+ - $70.00
WWS Hybrid Angler Pant UPF 50+ - $25
Whether you're fly fishing, bow hunting, or just out enjoying the kids' soccer game... now you're protected, stylish and ready to take on the outdoors!
