Fifty Cents and a Dreamby Jabari Asim Bryan Collier
Booker dreamed of making friends with words, setting free the secrets that lived in books. Born into slavery, young Booker T. Washington could only dream of learning to read and write. After emancipation, Booker began a five-hundred-mile journey, mostly on foot, to Hampton Institute, taking his first of many steps towards a college degree. When he arrived, he had just fifty cents in his pocket and a dream about to come true. The young slave who once waited outside of the schoolhouse would one day become a legendary educator of freedmen. Award-winning artist Bryan Collier captures the hardship and the spirit of one of the most inspiring figures in American history, bringing to life Booker T. Washington's journey to learn, to read, and to realize a dream.
The Go-To Churchby Bryan Collier
Every church can grow. Gone may be the days when churches could simply sit on the corner and attract passers-by, but people still long for the peace and confidence faith in God provides. So what do we do? We take the church to the people. We become a" Go-To Church" rather than a "Come-Here Church." Jesus' followers didn't wait for nonbelievers to find them. The disciples didn't stay in the Upper Room or sit around waiting after Pentecost and Peter's great sermon recorded in Acts. No, they struck out and went where God led--throughout the world to all people. How? Through creating multi-sites. Using the strategies and guidance of this book, you can customize the mission and ministry of your church to connect with people where they are. You will not only grow your church, but enhance God's Kingdom and accomplish the mission of the Great Commandment.
I, Too, Am Americaby Langston Hughes Bryan Collier
Winner of the Coretta Scott King illustrator award, I, Too, Am America blends the poetic wisdom of Langston Hughes with visionary illustrations from Bryan Collier in this inspirational picture book that carries the promise of equality. This picture book of Langston Hughes's celebrated poem, "I, Too, Am America," is also a Common Core Text Exemplar for Poetry. Image descriptions present.
Knock Knockby Bryan Collier Daniel Beaty
Every morning, I play a game with my father.He goes knock knock on my doorand I pretend to be asleeptill he gets right next to the bed.And my papa, he tells me, "I love you."But what happens when, one day, that "knock knock" doesn't come? This powerful and inspiring book shows the love that an absent parent can leave behind, and the strength that children find in themselves as they grow up and follow their dreams.
Lift Every Voice and Singby Bryan Collier James Weldon Johnson
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us. Written by James Weldon Johnson in 1900 to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday, "Lift Every Voice and Sing" has become an anthem for African Americans in the struggle for equality. Bryan Collier's vibrant, stunning artwork offers an inspirational and rousing interpretation of this powerful song that continues to influence and shape new generations of children today.
Rosaby Nikki Giovanni Bryan Collier
Fifty years after her refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus, Mrs. Rosa Parks is still one of the most important figures in the American civil rights movement. This tribute to Mrs. Parks is a celebration of her courageous action and the events that followed.

Winner of the Coretta Scott King Medal
Uptownby Bryan Collier
Discover the vibrant world of Harlem, New York, as seen through the eyes of one little boy who lives there. "Uptown ...Harlem, New York. Chicken and waffles. Jazz. Home. "Uptown is a rich mix of flavors, colors, sounds, and cultures that come together to create a vibrant community like no other in the world. Seen through the eyes of one little boy who lives there, the details of life in Harlem are as joyous as a game of basketball on a summer's afternoon and as personal as a trip to the barbershop where old-timers reminisce. Bryan Collier's spare, poetic text and beautiful, intricate illustrations evoke every aspect of Harlem, from the legendary Apollo Theater to chocolate-colored brownstones, weekend shopping on 125th Street, and the music of Duke Ellington.

For 86 years, volunteerism has been the foundation upon which the long-standing success of Lycoming County United Way has been built. Continuing that giving spirit, three generations of Lycoming County women are volunteering their combined efforts to assist United Way provide funding for county-wide human services.
Thanks to Diane Stine, Evelyn Free, Kaitlyn Twigg and Tanya Frey, plans are under way for a basket bingo at 1 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Old Lycoming Township Fire Hall. All proceeds will go to Lycoming County United Way.
The idea of the basket bingo was proposed by Stine, a United Way board member and longtime volunteer. Her mother, daughter and daughter-in-law quickly offered to pitch in to help plan to event.

Lycoming County United Way supporters, from left, Diane Stine, Tanya Frey and Evelyn Free are working on a basket bingo fundraiser.
"I thought it would be a fun way to raise funds for a great cause. Bingo players can win current and retired Longaberger prizes with values up to $200 and enjoy an afternoon out with refreshments, door prizes and other games of chance," Stine said. "The baskets will be filled with donations from local businesses and friends of United Way, too."
Stine has volunteered with United Way in many capacities over the years including loaned executive, pacesetter, funds allocation, employee division campaign chair, Day of Caring and board of directors. She lives in Montoursville and is employed by L-3 Communication, Electron Devices. Free lives in Williamsport and has volunteered with United Way previously in the employee campaign. Planning basket bingo is the first United Way volunteer job for Stine's daughter Tanya, and daughter-in-law, Kaitlyn, who both live in Montoursville.
"I want to help United Way because of all the good they do for children who have disabilities," Free said. "It makes me feel good to know that the donation you give to United Way goes to the people who really need it. United Way shows the community exactly where the money goes."
Free said she is glad to help her mom plan the basket bingo event as a great way to give back to the community.
"And, I got involved because I felt I should be volunteering some of my free time to help others," Twigg said. "I like United Way because it donates to many different programs in the local community."
Advance bingo tickets are available for a $20 donation at the United Way office at 1225 Clayton Ave. Tickets at the door the day of the event are $25.
"Tickets can also be purchased from United Way board members and bingo planning committee members," Stine added.
There will be 20 regular games included with the ticket purchase. There also will be five special games available the day of the event. Doors open at noon with an Early Bird Special Game at 12:45 p.m.
"I enjoy helping United Way because it supports many essential human service programs in the county. Some of them could not operate without funding from United Way. Helping multiple programs with one special event is a fun way to do something good for our neighbors, and a great way for our family to give back to the community," Stine said.
"Today's community problems are more complex than ever - and solving them goes far beyond just one agency. United Way's program partners are doing great work every day, and when we work together, we take that work one step farther. Working together with a broad range of community partners, United Way is creating results that no one can accomplish alone," added Kate Pacacha, director of resource development and communications for LCUW. "With the community's help, we improve lives by funding programs and creating special initiatives that get to the heart of problems and create lasting changes right here in Lycoming County.
"We truly value the time and effort Diane and her family have put into this event. Without dedicated volunteers like them, we would not be able to do what we do," Pacacha said.

An Information and Communications Technology Assessment of Norway
Table of Contents:
Hello Visitors,
Welcome to my information and communications assessment of Norway website. This website was built as a project by Brian Bretz at American University's Kogod School of Business. Please note that the bulk of my research was completed utilizing web resources, therefore I would characterize it as summary of various online periodicals, government documents, trade association materials, and news service articles. You'll find a variety of sections on this website which look at several different aspects of the Norwegian ICT industry, so please have a look around.
For the most part, Norway's ICT indices are relatively high by global standards; however they lag slightly behind some Nordic and EU nations. I attribute this to be their focus on traditional Norwegian industries, which historically have not been in interlinked with a burgeoning ICT sector. Then, sometime in the 1990s, Norway began to dramatically change its vision of their ICT sector into something that plays a much greater role in society. The product of this new vision was the development of a formal Norwegian national ICT policy, called eNorway.
The economic and social goals of eNorway are meant change Norway into country that can build on existing their comparative advantages and become a leader in the global ICT arena. In 2000, Norway passed the eNorway policy and set out on a journey to reengineer their country to be more amenable to ICT. In a short amount of time, Norway instituted a comprehensive plan that touches on all aspect of Norwegian society. Early signs show that the eNorway plan is working. For example, the ICT industry has grown an impressive 8% over the past three years and this trend is expected to continue in the near future. Norway has certainly had early success building a their ICT industry on technology niches; however only history will only tell if they will be able to develop into a well-round globally recognized technology powerhouse. From the consumer side, Norway has already accomplished this feat; however they are now concentrating the efforts on industry.
Truth be told, I have no doubt that the Norway will meet its goals of protecting Norwegian interests in the knowledge economy. I hope you enjoy the website.
Best Regards,
Brian Bretz
P.s. For those of you conducting research, I must insist that you read Section 14. About the Author. Take care.

We've teamed up with the editors of Publishers Weekly to scour the latest titles — from books for babies to cutting-edge fiction for teens — to help you find that perfect book for your grandchild.
By Hervé Tullot
(Chronicle, $14.99; all ages)
Reading a picture book? Yup, there's an app for that — hundreds of 'em, as a matter of fact. But in this format-bending book, Tullot proves that print titles can be just as interactive and rewarding. Readers are invited to press a yellow dot; then, as additional dots and instructions appear on subsequent pages, they'll be delighted by the "results" as they rub, shake and tilt the book. It's low-tech, high-impact fun.
By Lauren Thompson, illus. by Matthew Cordell
(Simon & Schuster/Margaret K. McElderry Books, $15.99; ages 2-6)
In a tender story that celebrates a child's burgeoning independence as well as the security that a parent or guardian offers, a small frog leaps ever farther from its mother — eventually over mountains, and even into outer space. But — as in a much earlier book, The Runaway Bunny — the frog's mother is always ready and waiting at home, cementing the message about unconditional love and support.
By Mélanie Watt
(Disney-Hyperion, $15.99; ages 3-6)
An egomaniacal rabbit alternately celebrates, berates and apologizes to readers in this funny meta-narrative from Watt, in which the bunny makes it clear to readers just how rude it was to keep him waiting before they finally showed up to read the book. Great for fans of Mo Willems's Pigeon books; Lauren Child's Charlie and Lola series; and other larger-than-life protagonists.
By Maya Soetoro-Ng, illus. by Yuyi Morales
(Candlewick Press, $16.99; ages 4-8)
Soetoro-Ng (President Obama's half-sister) and Morales team up for a tale of global connectivity and love. In the story, young Suhaila is visited by her late grandmother during the night. They ascend to the moon, whence they look back at Earth, inviting those in need of reassurance or consolation to join them. A warm, nontraditional story of spiritual healing.
By Chris Van Allsburg
(Houghton Mifflin, $18.99; ages 6-9)
Best known for The Polar Express, The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, and Jumanji, Van Allsburg returns with his first work of children's nonfiction, which is as impeccably illustrated as its predecessors. Here he tells the bittersweet story of 62-year-old charm-school instructor Annie Edson Taylor, who in 1901 became the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel.
By Doreen Cronin, illus. by Kevin Cornell
(HarperCollins/Balzer + Bray, $14.99; ages 8-12)
Ideal for newly independent readers, this humorous chapter book spoofs detective noir films as retired search-and-rescue dog J. J. Tully is reluctantly drawn into the hunt for a pair of missing chicks. J. J.'s hardboiled narration — especially as it pertains to mother hen "Moosh" and J. J.'s nemesis, Vince the Funnel — will have kids cackling.
By John Stephens
(Knopf, $17.99; ages 8-12)
This epic first book in Stephens's Books of Beginning trilogy is just the thing for fantasy-loving children who have already devoured the Harry Potter books, Spiderwick Chronicles and other contemporary classics of the genre. This time-traveling adventure stars orphaned siblings Kate, Michael, and Emma as they unlock secrets about their lineage in their mysterious new home in the Adirondack Mountains.
By Bobbie Pyron
(HarperCollins/Katherine Tegen Books, $16.99; ages 8-12)
Fans of dog stories such as The Incredible Journey and Lassie Come-Home are a natural audience for this moving and suspenseful story in which Tam, a champion sheltie, struggles through a 400-mile journey to return home to his 11-year-old owner, Abby. It's a heartwarming portrait of the mutual devotion between dogs and the children who love them.
By Elizabeth Partridge
(Bloomsbury, $16.99; ages 8-12)
Set in 1980, this powerful coming-of-age novel centers on sixth-grader Tracy, who was born in Vietnam and whose father is a veteran of the conflict dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder. The discovery of a dogtag among her father's possessions leads to a series of painful revelations for both Tracy's family and that of her best friend.
By Brandon Mull
(Simon & Schuster/Aladdin, $19.99; ages 8-12)
This first book in the Beyonders trilogy starts with a bang — or rather a gulp — as 13-year-old Jason falls into the gaping mouth of a hippopotamus and is transported to the magical world of Lyrian. (How's that for original?) On Lyrian, Jason is drawn into an action-packed quest to depose the sorcerer who rules the realm; in the process he meets creatures both good and evil — as well as a fellow refugee from Earth.
By Franny Billingsley
(Dial, $17.99; ages 12 and up)
Set in the early 20th century, this fantasy novel starring a teenager who is convinced that she is a witch and a murderer has garnered early critical acclaim. From the very first pages, it's clear why: Billingsley's rich language makes the backwater setting of Swampsea — and her deeply conflicted heroine, Briony — feel extraordinarily real.
By Ruta Sepetys
(Philomel, $17.99; ages 12 and up)
A heartbreaking piece of historical fiction, Sepetys's first novel focuses on the little-known story of Lithuanians sent to Siberian work camps by Stalin during WWII. Fifteen-year-old narrator Lina conveys the brutal conditions and impossible choices that she and her family endured, bringing to light the persecution that she and millions of others faced.
By Blake Nelson
(Scholastic Press, $17.99; ages 13 and up)
After a stint at a halfway house, 16-year-old Maddie is trying to start her life afresh. But the influence of old "friends" — and a verboten romance with a boy she met in rehab — complicates matters. Nelson doesn't sugarcoat the difficulties, the dangers of relapse or the serious consequences that attend drug and alcohol addiction.
By Tim Wynne-Jones
(Candlewick, $17.99; ages 14 and up)
This taut crime novel, shot through with themes of social justice, stars a pair of teenagers caught up in a fake kidnapping with national consequences. Wynne-Jones maintains a rapid-fire pace even as he effortlessly weaves into his story some big issues — among them homelessness, domestic abuse and racism.
By Kim Harrington
(Scholastic/Point, $16.99; ages 14 and up)
Funny, gripping, and mysterious, Harrington's first novel stars a modern teen detective with a twist: Picture a sardonic version of Nancy Drew, with psychic gifts to boot. Clarity Fern's ability to uncover memories and emotions by touching objects pulls her into a murder investigation in her Cape Cod town — where both the victims and the suspects are close to home.

A timeline of the Chernobyl disaster.
Created by cqchoi on Feb 26, 2011
Last updated: 04/05/11 at 07:36 AM
The 25th anniversary of the disaster. Image: From the official site of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant at http://new.chnpp.gov.ua/eng/photo/shelter_nord.jpg.
In response to the Chernobyl Forum's findings on the consequences of the disaster, the European Green Party commissioned a study dubbed "The Other Report on Chernobyl," or the TORCH report. It estimates the disaster will result in 30,000 to 60,000 extra cancer deaths, up to 15 times the Chernobyl Forum's estimate.
A comprehensive report on the consequences of the disaster comes out from the Chernobyl Forum, which is made up eight United Nations agencies and the governments of Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine. The report, entitled "Chernobyl's Legacy: Health, Environmental and Socio-Economic Impacts," was drafted by an international team of more than 100 scientists, and predicted that a total of up to 4,000 people could eventually die of exposure to radiation from the accident.
The sarcophagus was not meant to permanently entomb the destroyed reactor, and corrosion has taken a serious toll on it. Work begins on stabilizing the sarcophagus. Image credit: Charles Q. Choi.
Despite the disaster, the three remaining nuclear reactors at the power plant continued to run for years. On December 15, 2000, the last reactor in operation there was shut down.

The International Nuclear Safety Advisory Group updated the initial INSAG-1 report on the disaster, concluding that in addition to human error, a faulty reactor design was to blame as well.

Six officials, including the head of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant at the time of the accident, are tried and found guilty of charges related to the disaster.

The first report of the International Nuclear Safety Advisory Group on the disaster largely concludes that the accident was due to human error.

Work hastily begins on the sarcophagus for Unit 4, technically known as the "Shelter Object." This massive structure of more than 7,000 tons of metal and 400,000 cubic meters of concrete is meant to confine radioactive material from the destroyed reactor, keeping it from contaminating the rest of the world. Roughly 90,000 workers complete its construction in just 206 days.

More than 30 military helicopters flew over the burning reactor, dropping 2,400 metric tons of lead and 1,800 metric tons of sand to try to smother the fire and absorb the radiation. In the final phase of firefighting, the core of the reactor was cooled with nitrogen. The fire was only controlled 10 days after the disaster.

Workers at the Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant in Sweden detect high levels of radiation coming from outside their plant. The Soviet Union admits that an accident occurred, but gives no details.

The evacuation of the nearby town of Pripyat is announced at 11 a.m. local time, begins at 2 p.m., and is completed about two-and-a-half hours later. Roughly 115,000 people are ultimately cleared from settlements in the 30 kilometers around the disaster, an area later known as the Exclusion Zone.
Image: From the U.N. Development Program-managed site Chernobyl.info at http://www.chernobyl.info/index.php?userhash=&navID=12&lID=2.
At 1:23:40 local time, the emergency shutdown fails.
At 1:23:44, the reactor in Unit 4 runs out of control. Two explosions destroy the core of Unit 4 and the roof of the reactor's building. The intense fire that results disperses radioactive material high into the atmosphere. Most of the radiation is released in the first ten days. At first, northerly and northwesterly winds predominate, but later in the month the wind switches to the south and southeast, and there are frequent but local showers, resulting in a highly varied regional and local distribution of the radiation.
At 1:28 a.m., the first group of 14 firemen arrive on the scene to try and put out the fires. These and other firefighters received the highest exposures of radiation and suffered the greatest losses in personnel.
Image: From the official site of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant at http://new.chnpp.gov.ua/eng/photo/Helicopt03_05_86_1.jpg.
Reactor number four was supposed to be shut down for routine maintenance on April 25, 1986. During this time, an experiment was scheduled to test whether cooling of the core could continue in the event of a loss of power. Unfortunately, this test was postponed until 11 p.m., when there was less consumer demand for the electricity the power plant generated. As such, the day shift that had prepared for the test had left.
The head of the plant called to shut down the reactor's emergency core cooling system during the test. This important failsafe was designed to send water to cool the reactor core in an emergency, and disabling it reflected a lax attitude towards safety procedures.
The power level of the reactor was supposed to be lowered to about 1,000 megawatts for the test, but due to operator error, power fell to roughly 30 megawatts. They managed to stabilize the reactor at approximately 200 megawatts, but this reactor was unstable below about 700 megawatts and prone to sudden power surges.
Normally a minimum of 30 control rods were fully inserted in the reactor at all times. These neutron-absorbing rods can slow or even stop nuclear fission reactions in the reactor. Right before the disaster, only six to eight rods were used. This helped bring power levels back up from the dangerously low point they reached, but diminished operator ability to control the reactor.

The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant has generated 100 billion kilowatt-hours, about twice as much energy as the Earth receives from the sun per second.

Production of the first reactor, Unit 1, begins. This and the other RBMK-1000 reactors at Chernobyl can each generate 1,000 megawatts of electricity, which is often said to be enough to serve 1 million typical American homes.

Construction on the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine starts about 18 kilometers northwest of the town of Chornobyl, which is Ukrainian for wormwood. (Chernobyl, as it is most often known in the West, is the Russian name, while Ukrainians know it as Chornobyl.)

Non-Electric Bidets
Non-electric bidet attachments are the easiest way to add bidet functionality to your existing toilet. Most bidet attachments, like the Bio Bidet BB-70, are simply installed underneath your existing toilet seat with no need for an electrical outlet. They hookup to the nearest water source and provide fresh water cleansing powered by water pressure. Some non-electric bidets, like the Bio Bidet BB-i3000, replace your toilet seat altogether and can even be hooked up to a hot water source to provide a comfortable warm water wash.
Some advantages of non-electric bidet attachments include affordability, ease of installation, the ability to keep your current toilet seat, and higher water pressure and volume. Since they are powered directly by water pressure, non-electric bidets are able to produce much higher water pressure and volume than their electronic counterparts. However, since no electricity in involved, convenience features like heated seats and dryers are not available..

NORTHAMPTON - The James House, a 19th century building that some feared would become a white elephant for the city, is about to complete its transformation to an adult learning center.
Teri A. Anderson, Northampton's Economic and Community Development Coordinator, said this week that the city has awarded a $201,000 contract to Garland Construction of Chicopee to complete the second phase of renovation. The project will be financed entirely with federal stimulus funds and a gift from the Beveridge Foundation and will not cost the city any money, Anderson said.
The city bought the Gothic Street building in 1994 for $355,000 with the thought of using it to house a new police station. A planning committee instead chose to build the new police facility next to the current one on Center Street.
The Franklin-Hampshire Juvenile Court occupied the James House for several years before moving to Hadley in 2008. About that time, Mayor Mary Clare Higgins began developing a plan to use the building for adult education, noting that Northampton is one of the few county seats without a community college.
The first phase of the project, which transformed the former juvenile court administrative offices into child-care classrooms, was completed last year. The labor for that project was donated by the New England Regional Council of Carpenters, Local 108 and by the Westover Job Corps.
Phase 2 will create new classrooms in the building's basement, fashion three classrooms out of the second floor courtroom and renovate several bathrooms in the building, making them handicapped accessible. Anderson said some cosmetic work, including painting, will be done on the outside of the building.
The Center for New Americans, which teaches English and job skills to people who do not speak English as their first language, will run most of the programs along with the Literacy Project, which is dedicated to adult basic education, Anderson said. Some of the classrooms will also be used by area community colleges. Eventually, the Graduate Equivalency Degree program will move from Smith Vocational High School to the James House.
Anderson said work is scheduled to begin next week and shooed be completed by the end of October.

After a flurry of mortgage refinancing activity added billions to the bottom lines of Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM ) in 2012, Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) has begun to ramp up its own mortgage business.

Buy Licorice Root - The Healthy Truth that Makes You Want to Buy Licorice Root
Understanding how it can help your health will motivate you to buy licorice root. Glycyrrhiza glabra, or licorice as it is commonly referred to, grows in the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe and Asia. This perennial herb derives its healing ability from the brown root that is wrinkled on the outside and yellow on the inside. The extensive root system provides a great amount of herbal supplements for each plant. The roots contain numerous naturally occurring compounds that are good for use as anti-inflammatory and antiviral medicines. These help aid in relieving symptoms of over acidic stomachs and arthritis caused by inflammation.
When you buy licorice root you obtain all of the medicinal benefits of its compounds such as asparagines, estrogenic substances, flavonoids and isoflavonoids, glycyrrhizin, chalcones, sterols, coumarins and triterpenoid saponins. Since its discovery in ancient Greece and China, licorice root has been used to help health numerous illnesses from tuberculosis to diabetes. Glycyrrhizin acts as the anti-inflammatory agent which also helps activate the adrenal glands. This boosts the productivity of mucus secretion and soothes irritation in the body. This mineral element has also shown to produce potent antioxidants to protect the digestive tract and liver cells.
If you are looking to create hormonal balance in your body you should buy licorice root. This is especially true for women with a lack of estrogen. It helps to balance out the amount of estrogen and testosterone in the body. This can aid in some PMS symptoms such as bloating, irritability and breast tenderness. Licorice root can help to prevent the overall breakdown of cortisol which is an important adrenal hormone that reduces stress, elevates energy levels and keeps certain ailments from attacking the body. Adding all of these factors together makes this supplement perfect for women looking to lose weight or suffering from chronic PMS symptoms.
Other health conditions that should have you wanting to buy licorice root are stomach ulcers, respiratory illnesses and even chronic fatigue syndrome. Stomach ulcers are eased through a renewed production in protective mucus, while the other health problems are eased because of the anti-inflammatory elements in the licorice root. Be sure that you follow the directions on the package so that you take only the recommended dosage. If you are taking medications prescribed by a doctor you should discuss taking licorice root with them. This is especially true if you have high blood pressure. Taken correctly, this herbal supplement can help reduce your pain and discomfort.

Evolution and Spontaneous Uniformity: Evidence from the Evolution of the Limited Liability Company
Bruce H. Kobayashi
George Mason University - School of Law
Larry E. Ribstein (Deceased)
University of Illinois College of Law; PERC - Property and Environment Research Center
Economic Inquiry, Vol. 34, 1996.
This paper examines whether the process of unguided state by state evolution of Limited Liability Company (LLC) Statutes has lead to efficient interstate uniformity. Our evidence suggests significant uniformity has been produced in cases where the net benefits of uniformity are positive, and that such uniformity has not been produced by herd behavior. Our results are consistent with Alchian's intuition about the role of market processes, and suggests that the survival of efficient rules, fostered by the rational behavior of decentralized economic actors, are produced by forces beyond the control or foresight of individual lawmakers or legislatures.

Nooo I think they are perfect names together.
They are of the same genre and match so nicely.
I think "Liv" and Lucy has lovely alliteration.
And Lucy may get shortened to "Luce", so "Livvy and Luce" also works with rhythm and alliteration.
We have an Olivia, and currently due with 3rd girl who I would LOVE to call Lucy.... unfortunately hubbie had a dog called Lucy so has ruled it out. Annoying!
Good luck and great choices.

I like Olivia and Lucy together but do not like Livy and Lucy. That is a little to close for me. But if it does not bother you and your partner then go for it. Or maybe use the nn Olive instead of Liv/Livy. Olive and Lucy sound adorable. As for the name I can picture it on a baby, little girl and adult. I think it ages very well.Rainbow Baby (a boy) Due Early November 2015!

The season of love is upon us, and many of us are searching around for craft ideas which will help spread the loving spirit. Today we bring to you a quick DIY project that both you and your little ones will love, using our legendary Sweethearts candies! This craft is quick, easy and inexpensive to create! With a few supplies, you'll be able to add a Sweet touch to your home for the Valentine's Day season!
Supplies Needed:
- Clear gel glue
- Sturdy 8"x11" picture frame with removable back
- Colored construction paper 8"x11" (optional)
- Sweethearts ®
- Remove the back of the picture frame and place aside. You can choose to reapply it later if you wish.
- Flip the picture frame so that the open back is facing upwards and the glass is exposed. It is often best to wipe the glass free of dust prior to gluing!
- Take your Sweethearts and place them in tight lines, forming your heart shape. Make sure the text side of each candy is also facing upward. This step helps you keep your shape and spacing even throughout the gluing process.
- Place a small drop of glue on the plain side of the Sweetheart. (Glue will cause the print to run, so it is best if the plain side is used.)
- Carefully push the Sweetheart onto the glass and hold firmly for 5-10 seconds. Try not to move the candy around on the glass. However, it is okay if the glue spreads a little as it will dry clear and unnoticeable.
- Repeat Step 4 & 5 for each Sweetheart you have lined up in the heart formation.
- You can replace the back with colored construction paper or simply opt to hang it with no back and have the paint on your wall show through.
- Enjoy your holiday décor!

UN General Assembly Thematic Debate Addresses Climate Change's Links to Achieving the MDGs
2 April 2008: Many speakers addressed links between climate change and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) during the UN General Assembly's two-day thematic debate entitled "Recognizing the achievements, addressing the challenges and getting back on track to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015." In her opening remarks to the 1-2 April 2008 thematic debate, Asha-Rose Migiro, UN Deputy Secretary-General, highlighted many speakers' concern that climate change could thwart achievement of the MDGs.
Djibouti's representative emphasized that low food levels, coupled with the negative impact of climate change, meant Africa's food production would likely shrink at least 20 percent. Tanzania said the UN "should continue to show robust leadership on how to address the negative effects of climate change and should, with urgency, assume leadership in spearheading action on the global energy crisis." The representative from the Maldives called for quick, "targeted practical action" to fulfil the commitments made at various summits and conferences and to particularly "properly fund various action programmes that had been agreed upon for the most vulnerable groups, small island developing States, least developed countries and landlocked developing countries…"
Poland said his country would like to ensure that the fourteenth Conference of the Parties, to meet in Poznan at the end of 2008, "will make an important contribution to setting out specific measures in the scope of mitigation and adaptation" along with modern technology and its transfer to developing countries, and measures related to adaptation, in particular the Adaptation Fund's principles and functioning.
Bangladesh, on behalf of Least Developed Countries, said "developed nations must also create innovative financial structures to better assist their less developed partners with such challenges as climate change and structural deficiencies…"
Austria highlighted the need to address gender-specific aspects of climate change, to ensure successful climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies along with having a positive effect on broader concerns of development and poverty reduction.

Red Alert: FBI Spying On Everyone Without Warrant
America's National Security Agency has been collecting information on hundreds of millions of people. Nine major internet companies including Yahoo, Google, Facebook, Skype, Microsoft, YouTube, Apple, AOL and PalTalk have been used by the FBI and National Security Agency to monitor photos, videos and emails.
According to the report, Congress is aware of this top secret program called Prism, but has kept quite about it and it's violation of privacy of American citizens.
Phone calls of millions of Americans are being traced through Verizon regardless if there is reason to suspect. This operation has been on going since 2006 and renewed every six months. The information handed over by Verizon includes location data, length of phone call, calls being made and the times.

High-schooler Lennon Stella stepped away from her prom for a bit on Saturday night, leaving the big dance with her date in tow to join her younger sis Maisy and Nashville's Charles Esten for a few songs at the St. Jude Country Music Marathon & Half Marathon post-race concert.
The show, held at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, featured performances by several stars of the ABC drama, on which Lennon, 14, and Maisy, 10, star as the daughters of Connie Britton's Rayna James. Esten plays Rayna's sometimes-soulmate – and Lennon's dad – Deacon Claybourne.
Lennon, still wearing her ivory prom dress and a halo of matching flowers in her flowing long hair, kept cute date West Theriault close during her performance. Afterward, everyone posed for photos before the teens headed back to their dance.
I just left prom to go sing at Bridgestone Arena, then went back to prom! So Hanna Montana of me haha. #reallifedisney— Lennon and Maisy (@lennonandmaisy) April 27, 2014
Fans of the Canadian-born Stellas Tweeted their appreciation and posted their own photos of the night. "Lennon Stella left her prom to go sing with Charles Esten at Bridgestone on Saturday night and she wore her prom dress the whole time," Tweeted fan Amy Roberts, who also took photos.
Also among Lennon's fans? Esten, who Tweeted out his gratitude as well.
Thank you @lennonandmaisy for joining me for the encore! Lennon left the prom to be there!! #shewentback #gorgeous! pic.twitter.com/Jngvmb0Gev— Charles Esten (@CharlesEsten) April 27, 2014

Sears Holding Corp. announced its plans to close its Aiken outpost store and Sears Auto Center to the public by late April, the most recent action by the retail giant to close several other stores and focus instead on online sales.
The store, located at 2441 Whiskey Road in the Aiken Mall, will remain open until April 27 for customers, and will begin its liquidation sale beginning Friday, Feb. 7, according to Howard Riefs, director of corporate communications for Sears Holdings.
"The store is being closed because the lease was not renewed," Riefs said. "Store closures are part of a series of actions we're taking to reduce ongoing expenses, adjust our asset base and accelerate the transformation of our business model."
Riefs said the decision to close will better enable the retailer to focus on investments and further serving customers through mixed retail – at the store, online and in the home.
The Aiken Mall announced it would be under new management in November under Jones Lang LaSalle's Retail, a firm headquartered in Chicago, Ill.
Chairman and CEO Eddie Lampert, of Sears Holdings, posted a blog on Jan. 21 about the recent closings, stating the decrease in store traffic and increase in Internet sales was the overwhelming consensus for the industry.
"The consensus about decreased store traffic also highlights another decision that has steered our work – we very often need less space to service our members better and we may need fewer locations as well."
Lampert said the decision to close stores was not considered lightly and the company understands the effects of shutting its doors for loyal associates who have given years of excellent service.
"The store in Aiken has 54 employees," Riefs said. "Those associates that are eligible will receive severance and have the opportunity to apply for open positions at area Sears or Kmart stores. Most of the associates are part-time and/or hourly."

Weather, lack of experience hamper Swede golf team at NP
NORTH PLATTE—Not only has Mother Nature not cooperated during the last three weeks of practice for the young Swede golf team but she didn't do Gothenburg any favors during the North Platte Invite at Iron Eagle on Friday.
Bitter cold and inexperience both hampered the Swedes, most of which played their first 18-hole round in competition.
"We've never played particularly well at North Platte," said coach Don Graham. "It's the first meet of the year and there are trees that we're not used to. It was a bit of a struggle but the kids are still working hard to get better."
Gothenburg finished eighth of 10 teams with a combined score of 422.
North Platte took top team honors with 332 and individual champion Cameron Bargell leading the way with a 75.
Adam Speck carded Gothenburg's low score with 48 on the front and 53 on the back for 101.
The Swedes will host Lexington at Wild Horse on Thursday in dual action. Tee time is 4 p.m.
"The 10-day forecast looks a little more favorable for golf," Graham said. "Hopefully that will help us out a little."

"I know the answer! The answer lies within the heart of all mankind! The answer is…twelve? I think I'm in the wrong building." - Charles M. Schulz
If we take the pulse of mobile education apps, we can see that they're the scrawny kid in the playground compared to app usage areas such as social networking, games and entertainment.
As tablets and ipads are projected to become cheaper and more efficient in 2013, even surpassing laptop sales by the end of the year, coupled with the ever increasing number of online education participants, let's study how mobile education apps can aid in the learning process and how their growth will be impacted.
Judging two different perspectives. The past and the possible future.
In a study by GDS Infographics in Q2 2011, education apps were at a humble 11% usage compared to others. Although Apple stated there are about 20,000 (currently there are 1,2bn+ worldwide mobile apps) education applications in their App Store, not many of them are heavily used.
One of the main concerns for teachers, colleges and highschools is the ability to integrate curriculums and classes into apps that are effective. The results vary, Wall Street Journal noted that online student Allison Schnacky grew an interest in history — previously describing it as the "boringest" of classes — after watching assigned videos of ancient Egypt on her computer and using mobile devices.
Many teachers and unions in Europe and US are worried about the impact of high-tech tablets and smartphones that allow distance classes to be held by an increasing number of students and children.
One of their main concerns, for example is the fact that while in a traditional high school, a teacher might handle 150 students, with online courses however, a teacher may supervise 250 students or more since he/she doesn't have to write lesson plans and most grading is done by computer.
This leads to personnel and staffing restructuring and may leave teachers finding another job. Another concern is the lack of social interaction in the case of children, caused by online learning or mobile learning, an interaction which is a building block essential to growing and evolving in society, understanding differences and overcoming prejudices.
One of the reasons for why the online learning has exploded over the years is the advances and improved feasibility in computers and mobile devices, especially tablets and their subsequent increased availability in price and efficiency. The second argument would be that online and distance learning is reported to be a lot cheaper than traditional learning architectures.
For example, in the US, it takes $7,650 a year to educate the average student in a traditional public school. They spend nearly 60% less—$3,200 to educate through online courses. Like in many cases, the main criteria for selection will be financing and money.
As traditional learning institution come into a greater level of competition with online school architectures, financial strains in the education sector will increase.
Coupled with the proliferation of improved mobile devices and applications, education institutions are under pressure in finding an efficient approach to deal with the technological shift in today's generation.
Experts conclude that the most appropriate solution would be the hybridization of the educational system to blend online study with face-to-face interaction with traditional teaching approaches, thus allowing an interactive and efficient teaching philosophy.
What do you think will be the future of traditional education in 2013? Will mass adoption of mobile devices improve or disrupt the teaching experience?

Australia: Ignored complaints against pedophile Dennis John McKenna spark inquiry call
Patricia Jane | November 8, 2011 at 11:58 am
WEST Australian Premier Colin Barnett wants an inquiry into how one of Australia's worst serial pedophiles was able to continue his abuse for years after initial complaints to police.
Mr Barnett has met with Public Sector Commissioner Mal Wauchope to discuss an official inquiry into allegations that complaints against Dennis John McKenna were dismissed by police and senior public servants in the 1970s and 80s.
McKenna was jailed for six years last month after pleading guilty to sexually abusing six boys, aged 13 to 15, in his care. He had previously been jailed for six years in 1991 for similar offences and may face more charges as other victims come forth.All the offences happened at St Andrew's Hostel in Katanning, a boys' home in WA's Great Southern region, where McKenna was head warden from 1975 to 1990.
McKenna was considered a pillar of the Katanning community at the time and had received numerous awards for his work with children.
Two former government employees have since publicly stated their superiors, police and a Katanning Shire councillor all ignored claims by one of the victims in 1985 that he had been sexually abused by McKenna, who remained in charge of the hostel for another five years until his arrest.
One of the former government employees is Maggie Dawkins, the wife of former federal treasurer John Dawkins.
Mrs Dawkins, who was involved with a youth training and employment program that used the hostel for accommodation, has called for a royal commission into the abuse.
A newspaper report today said the WA Department of Education first received a child sex complaint about McKenna in 1980 – a decade before his first arrest.
Mr Barnett told parliament today he was awaiting advice from Mr Wauchope before deciding what action to take.
"I will await that advice of the Public Sector Commission and then cabinet will consider it, and if we make a decision on an inquiry and what form it should be, I will inform the house immediately," he said.
Mr Barnett said an independent inquiry was "one of the options being considered", along with a royal commission.

Police in South Florida have issued an arrest warrant for a suspect in the death of a Quebec tourist whose body was found on a sidewalk. Hollywood police spokesman Lt. Osvaldo Perez says they received a report early Sunday morning about a body along Jefferson Street, just east of Federal Highway.
He says the man had been stabbed and the death has been ruled a homicide.
The victim has been identified as 58-year-old Domenico Perruccio.
Perez says police have notified his family and Canadian consulate officials.
Police say an arrest warrant has been issued for 37-year-old Twane Dobard, and they are asking for the public's help in finding him. The police release did not specify a charge.
Local media reports quoted neighbours as saying Perruccio was waiting for his wife to arrive because the couple were supposed to leave on a cruise on Monday.

If you thought Bobby Petrino was a coward for informing Atlanta Falcon players he was taking the job at Arkansas by leaving behind Dear John letters in 2007, check out how Pitt football players learned Todd Graham was taking the head coaching job at Arizona State after just one year with the Panthers: Forwarded text message.
That's right, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is reporting this is what Graham sent to assistant athletic director/football operations Blair Philbrick, who then passed it onto the players:
"I have resigned my position at Pitt in the best interest of my family to pursue the head coaching position at Arizona State. Coaching there has always been a dream of ours and we have family there. The timing of the circumstances have prohibited from telling you this directly. I now am on my way to Tempe to continue those discussions. God Bless. Coach Graham."
Ah yes, the old "dream job" excuse. If you're going to leave a head coaching job, at least have the guts to tell your players face-to-face – especially when you are bolting after just one season.
And yes, this is the same Graham that said at his introductory press conference last January, "We're going to treat (high school coaches') players with great respect and they know they can trust and we'll take care of them."
Pitt players did not take the news well, especially linebacker Adam Lazenga and wide receiver Devin Street.
Tweeted Lazenga: "All I can say is wow.. Talk about committed hahah", "Loling at the things Ive been told for the last year", "Liar and a fraud… Lol."
Tweeted Street: "http://pic.twitter.com/HMiKQ6gP The Liar got his Colors on already" (picture below).
We can't blame Lazenga or Street for their anger.
How are college football players expected to learn to become men when coaches like Petrino and Graham can't even look their players in the eye?

Sashank Sakamuri of Mount Pleasant has been accepted into the ASTA National High School Honors Orchestra. He is studying cello with Damian Kremer who is adjunct music faculty at the College of Charleston.
Currently, Sakamuri participates in the Charleston Youth Orchestra of the Low country, the annual regional and all-state orchestras and the chamber and jazz music ensembles at his high school. In the past, he has also played in the honors orchestra, several chamber ensembles at the University of South Carolina, as well as Symphony Orchestra at Furman University.
For the past four years, Sakamuri has been accepted into the SCMEA regional and all-state orchestra competitions as principal and assistant principal cellist. Sashank has also applied to and received scholarships from the Charleston Symphony Orchestra League. These scholarships have allowed him to continue his private studies with Damian Kremer.
In eighth grade, Sakamuri was awarded the outstanding musicianship award and scholarship for orchestra and band camp at Furman University and won Superior medals from the solo and ensemble and concert festivals. He also had the privilege to be accepted to the Charleston Symphony Orchestra Share the Stage Contest, in which he was able to perform with the CSO and renowned conductor Maestro JoAnn Falletta.
As music is one of the Sakamuris biggest passions, he is planning on pursuing studies in music as music minor. He plans on continuing to study cello as a life-long activity.
Sakamuri is a junior at Academic Magnet High School. His parents are Srilatha Bandlamuri and Reddy Sakamuri. He has studied for the past four years with CSO Cellist Damian Kremer who is adjunct music faculty at the College of Charleston
Q: At what age did you started playing cello:
A: I started playing the cello at the age of 10. I joined the East Cooper Orchestra when I was in the fifth grade. This is where I learned the fundamentals of music and playing the cello.
Q: What other instruments do you play?
A: The only instrument I currently play is the cello, though I did try to play the guitar and violin at a younger age.
Q: Who encouraged you the most in selecting your major instrument?
A: When I was first introduced to the cello by my elementary school strings instructor, I had never heard of the instrument. Once I learned about the cello, I thought it was really cool. I would say the most encouragement came from my parents who were both supportive of my idea of trying out the cello.
Q: What ensembles are you in?
A: Currently, I participate in the Charleston Youth Orchestra of the Low country, the annual regional and all-state orchestras, and the chamber and jazz music ensembles at my high school. In the past, I have also played in the honors orchestra, several chamber ensembles at the University of South Carolina, as well as Symphony Orchestra at Furman University.
Q: What practice tips can you pass on to other students?
A: One of the most important practice tips I can pass on to other students is to practice for themselves. Dont play because your teacher or your parents want you to. Practice because you aspire to be a better musician and want to improve. In addition, I find practicing routinely helps me ensure that I can dedicate time every day for practicing.
Q: Do you have future goals for including music/cello in a career?
A: As music is one of my biggest passions, I am planning on pursuing studies in music through a music minor. I plan on continuing to study cello as a life-long activity.
