Approximately 40% of the
students who demonstrate artistic and academic excellence and financial
need receive RISD scholarships. Apply for financial aid »
RISD scholarships are awarded based on a combination of financial need and academic merit. Recipients of RISD scholarships must apply for financial aid each year.
Special scholarships
RISD also offers several scholarships each year to first-year students who exhibit outstanding
academic and artistic achievement but do not necessarily demonstrate need. Two
awards of at least $10,000 are made to students competing in the National YoungArts Foundation (formerly known as NFAA) and two awards of at least
$10,000 are made to participants in Scholastics. To be eligible for
these scholarships, applicants must enter the YoungArts or Scholastics competitions.
RISD-controlled financial aid is not available to special, visiting,
international or exchange students.
Yellow Ribbon Program
RISD is pleased to announce its participation in the Post 9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon Program, which provides additional financial assistance to veterans who qualify for 100% of Post-9/11 GI Bill educational benefits. RISD provides ten veterans scholarship assistance in the amount of $10,000, which is matched by the federal government for a total assistance of $20,000. Participation is limited to ten veterans, with VA regulations stipulating that assistance must be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
RISD begins accepting the VA Certificate of Eligibility for Yellow Ribbon on April 1 for the next academic year. To be considered for the Yellow Ribbon program you must submit a copy of your VA Certificate of Eligibility. Application materials submitted prior to April 1 are not accepted.
Please note: Scholarship assistance cannot exceed tuition and fees from all sources. If an applicant receives scholarship assistance from RISD, $10,000 of this scholarship amount will be designated as the Yellow Ribbon match. If the total of scholarship assistance from RISD, the Yellow Ribbon program and Chapter 33 benefits exceeds tuition and fees, the scholarship assistance offered by RISD will be reduced commensurately.
For more information of the Yellow Ribbon program, please review the terms spelled out on the US Department of Veteran Affairs site.
Segal Americorps Match
RISD provides a matching Americorps award of up to $5,550 to two students each year. Students must provide a copy of their letter of eligibility for the Segal Americorps Education Award no later than April 1 of each year. This award is granted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Graduate Fellowships are awarded by the Financial Aid office in conjunction with the student's academic department. Fellowships may be based on financial need as determined by completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), merit or a combination of both (based on departmental preferences). Typically, fellowships are awarded in equal disbursements for fall and spring semesters and paid directly to a student's tuition account.
Graduate Assistantships are awarded through each graduate program and are assigned by the Graduate Program director. Assistantships are awarded during the admissions process, but specific positions may not be assigned until the beginning of each semester. International students or any student who does not have a social security number cannot be assigned an assistantship during the first semester.

His conduct toward us has put hay on his horns—foenum habet in cornu—and we shall avoid him.
They watched me sideways, like this, especially cornu, because he squints.
cornu (Prosper-Napoleon) was thin, of medium height, with enormously long arms.
Name from cornu, a horn; alluding to the hardness of the wood.
M. fiat pulvis, qui cum gelatin cornu cervi Moschati Chinensis formetur in massas oviformes.
In Aves the cornu formed from the first branchial arch (fig. 331, cbr) is always larger than that of the true hyoid arch (ch).
The definitive result derived by cornu from the entire series of experiments was 300,400 kilometres per second.
Madame cornu's last letter was a solemn exhortation to abstain from that step.
At its endowment Henry laid on the altar the famous "cornu eburneum," now lost.
It is explained by Vullers as cornu et crena arcûs cui immititur nervus.
cornu cor·nu (kôr'nōō, -nyōō)
n. pl. cor·nu·a (-nōō-ə, -nyōō-ə)
A part or structure, such as a protuberance, that is composed of a horny substance.
See horn.

Making resort look like an easy and fairly constant variable on the fashion map is not all that hard, after all we're talking about a season built around the concept of a luxurious getaway. What's harder to do is to actually gift the clothing with a real story, meant for real people to read in order to get their share of inspiration. Upon looking at the pictures illustrating Erdem's resort 2014 philosophy, you can almost sense the holiday breeze.
Allowing himself the luxury to experiment in his pre-collections, Erdem Moralioğlu decided to extend his brand's outlook this season by drawing inspiration from his mother's old holiday photographs. The warm, familiar feeling translated to fluid printed pants, black lace boiler suits and buttery leather mini skirts that steered clear of any rigidity. And while it might evoke a newly discovered sense of freedom, Erdem's collection still carried a distinct sense of precision.
The elements where the feminine meets the masculine mark a definite new dawn for the Erdem woman, as she knows how to make the most out of the playfulness and sophistication characterizing her wardrobe.

Corporate Customer Experiences Need Startup Mojo
Posted by Kerry Bodine on September 19, 2011
- 580 Recommendations
- 16 comments
I'm a Dropbox customer. I originally signed up for the basic plan — 2 GB for free — but ran out of space quickly and decided to upgrade to 50 GB of storage. So I forked over my $99 and got the following confirmation page:
A gold star! A hand-drawn cartoon! Now I know this page wasn't designed specifically for yours truly, but when I saw it, I felt special. Like the people at Dropbox actually gave a damn that I had just given them $99 of my hard-earned money.
Compare that with the $700 I spent recently for several nights at a large hotel. My final bill was printed on a plain white sheet of paper and was so devoid of any brand messaging that I feared it would raise eyebrows with our finance department! Consider the $1,600 I just plunked down for a multi-leg transcontinental flight. The airline's confirmation email didn't waste any time trying to sell me on a rental car, hotel room, and credit card — but didn't even wish me a pleasant trip. Or take my credit card company — which processes tens of thousands of dollars of business expenses for me each year. When I look at my bill, the things that pop out are how much I owe them, by when, and a late payment warning — key pieces of information, yes, but reading that bill leaves me feeling like I need a shower.
These small touchpoints — a receipt, a confirmation email, a bill — play a functional role in customer interactions. But they also represent prime opportunities for companies to reinforce their brands and (perhaps even more importantly) make customers feel good about where they spend their time and money.
So many startups do it right. I'm thinking of Twitter's fail whale, which makes service disruptions somewhat enjoyable, Groupon's exclamation of "That's Wonderful!" when I make a purchase, and Zipcar's big orange "Congratulations, you're done!" message at the top of the reservation confirmation page.
But large corporations, more often than not, waste these precious opportunities because:
- The complexity of the customer experience ecosystem has crippled them. Want to change the wording on a page of a big corporate website? You'll need to consult with five different lines of business, the marketing and brand teams, the SEO folks, the web designers, the content management team — and don't forget legal. While all of these people play an important role, too many good ideas cave to organizational complexity.
- They're overly focused on ROI. Dropbox's cartoon made me so happy that I'm honestly looking forward to the next time I need to upgrade. (Will the little box be that much bigger? I'm dying to know!) And how much did this really cost the company? Perhaps it cost a couple of hours for someone to sketch and scan the image and another couple of hours to code and test the very simple page change — work well suited for a trusted (but cheap) intern.
- They've lost track of time. Startups treat every day as a new opportunity to add customers and turn their balance sheets black — and often work around the clock to make it happen. In contrast, large corporations work on glacial time. Initiatives span multiple years, and employees' day-to-day activities center around emails, reports, and meetings — not on making changes to real customer interactions.
So start thinking like a startup. What will you do today to directly improve your customer experience? (Seriously, tell me.)
Well Spotted.

Dear Kerry thats really well spotted , it these smaller touchpoints which do make all the difference at times. But its amaizing how many companies miss out on them or sometimes misuse them for creating immediate shortterm profits . Marketing is taken as a bloodsport nowadays , but i think its more like gardening , nurturing and care are of outmost importance and its small moments of sunshine like these that go a long way in building that relation

BigCo Miss Small and Large Opportunities
Comment from Andrew McFarland (not verified) on Mon, 09/19/2011 - 12:56
Sure large companies miss the small details that separate satisfaction from loyalty. They also miss the large and easy things, like "does the product work" and "am I easy to do business with"? The focus on near-term growth (which is how Wall St judges and how compensation plans are aligned) comes at the cost of long-term relationships with customers. As a result, most of these company's customers are merely hostages until they're rescued by smarter, more nimble alternatives.
As to ROI, these same large companies have forgotten (and in many cases never knew) that ROI fundamentals rely on customers. http://bit.ly/qnnkrD
Yes, things big and small
Comment from Kerry Bodine on Mon, 09/19/2011 - 13:00
Andrews, Great points about the broader financial context we work in and its impact on both big and small aspects of customer experience. I'm personally very interested in some of the new corporate structures that are divorcing firms from this hamster wheel.
I wonder if "divorce" is the
Comment from Andrew McFarland (not verified) on Mon, 09/19/2011 - 13:18
I wonder if "divorce" is the answer. Shouldn't we spend more time trying to link customer experience and loyalty with profitability. If corporations view the 2 as mutually exclusive we'll just miss more budget (investment) cycles.
Divorce comment not (directly) related to CX
Comment from Kerry Bodine on Mon, 09/19/2011 - 13:32
Yes, I completely agree that as a professional community we need to get better at linking customer experience with real business benefits. At Forrester, we spend a lot of time doing just that.
My "divorce" comment was related to the new B corporations that are focused on solving social and environmental problems first, profits second. An interesting model, and I wonder what customer experience looks like for these companies.
I love this example
Comment from Kerry Bodine on Mon, 09/19/2011 - 13:43
A Forresterite (who wishes to remain anonymous) just emailed me this example:
I don't buy shoes online, but recently became a big fan of Zappos just because I was so blown away by the site, particularly the style of writing. For example, when I registered as a user, instead of the check box saying something like, "Sign up for our email alerts"… Zappos said, "Check this box to receive shameless promotional plugs from us." A little thing, but it showed some humanity.
The Root of the Problem
Comment from Martha Brooke on Wed, 09/21/2011 - 18:43
Great point that even the smallest details of a company's customer interactions can have a huge impact on customer loyalty. As a Customer Experience Analyst, I think the three factors you identified definitely contribute to the problem of unbranded interactions, but aren't the root cause.
What keeps these large corporations from making the most of these opportunities is the fact that corporations largely subscribe to an antiquated notion that engaging customers' feelings belongs in the backroom, not the board room.
Until CEOs and COOs start asking essential customer experience branding questions, like "what percent of our customer interactions are branded?" "how engaging are our frontline reps?" or "have we trained our customer service reps to deliver our core marketing messages?", these large companies won't have the institutional inertia to carry their big marketing ideas through to the front line. And that means they won't be able to keep up with the hip Zappos-types and Dropboxes of the world.
How do you get executive support?
Comment from Kerry Bodine on Thu, 09/22/2011 - 14:45
I've actually just started a discussion over in our customer experience community on just this topic: How can you convince your execs to commit to customer experience initiatives?
I'd love to get your thoughts on what's worked (and what hasn't) for you.
Key Challenge Getting Exec Buy In
Comment from Martha Brooke on Fri, 09/23/2011 - 11:53
The advantages of taking a hard look at the customer experience are nearly endless, and include customer loyalty building as well as risk management (it's what you don't know that can kill your company). That said, my observation is that
only execs. with a fairly high degree of intellectual curiosity ever commit in a serious way to customer experience initiatives. In other words, I'm not sure it's possible to convince but I too am open to any and all ideas!
It's the little things
Comment from Jordan Winders (not verified) on Wed, 09/28/2011 - 17:05
Great idea behind this! One thing I am noticing is that these larger companies that do not do anything to foster the customer experience are constantly advertising that they "are the leader in customer satisfaction". Like you mentioned, they are quick to ask us about switching our TV service or to sign up for their credit card, but do they not realize how far a "thank you" or even a smile (which is easily faked over, especially in a phone sale) would go in making the customer want to shop there again.
Think cannot remember off hand which hotel it is, but one is advertising right now about something as simple as giving you a warm cookie at check in. Little things like this go a long way. I try to shop local as much as possible because of the way I am treated as soon as I step in the store. These smaller business want to keep me coming back so they do what they can to keep me.
However, as long as companies that don't seem to care keep receiving our money, I don't believe they will change. How they can get so far away from where they started blows my mind.
Comment from Jordan Winders (not verified) on Wed, 09/28/2011 - 17:08
I deeply apologize, I scrolled away too quickly and did not realize that I had addressed my comment with the wrong name. Again great post, and my sincerest apologies.
A challenge...
Comment from Kerry Bodine on Thu, 09/29/2011 - 01:11
Yeah, for a while now I've been tracking companies that are advertising their customer experience in some way. Some companies' claims are legit (JetBlue and US Cellular come to mind), but you're absolutely right that many large firms with poor reputations like to talk about their "superior" customer experience. It's ridiculous.
My question for you -- and everyone else: When are you going to stop giving your money to companies that don't provide a good customer experience? :-)
American Airlines
Comment from Andrew McFarland (not verified) on Thu, 09/29/2011 - 07:46
Good question. I had such a terrible experience with American Airlines almost a year ago that I vowed to use alternate air carriers if at all possible (surprisingly easy with competition). That experience caused me to estimate the lost lifetime value of my business: http://bit.ly/hMyG3n
For some companies, the only thing that talks to them is your wallet.
Love it!
Comment from Kerry Bodine on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 16:20
Andrew, I love that you've actually voted with your wallet -- AND figured out what the value of this bad customer experience meant to AA.
Have any other readers deliberately switched their business because of a bad customer experience?
Mapping interactions to value
Comment from Jeff Hines on Tue, 10/11/2011 - 22:17
With all of the multichannel explosion going on, the number of touchpoints/interactions is growing exponentially. This has made it very difficult for businesses to keep up with (manage) all of these interactions. Moreover, they often lack the ability to understand which touchpoints create the most value or frustration in the eyes of the customer. Using a tool like a Journey Map or Touchpoint map can help an organization audit all of the possible interactions. But the real value comes once you can map each interaction to the customer's experience and range of emotions they feel along the way. The best maps and automation tools should effectively capture the "value" of each interaction, measure the effectiveness of each interaction, and then create a prioritized action plan to address the touchpoints that are costing them most in terms of lost revenue or retention.

Venting of Roof/Attic
2 Attachment(s)
I am new and have read posts on venting of attic, but wanted to get some feedback on my roof. I was told yesterday by a roofer that I do not have enough ridge to properly vent the attic above the main house (left of garage) & would need to use an attic fan. However, the area over the garage can use a ridge vent. The attic over the garage and main house are connected, but the roofer said they would be vented differently. It would seem that there may be a conflict. I have attached pictures so you can see house & offer your advice on how to properly vent attic. Thanks, Patrick
looks like you allready have a fan powered by electric????
It is not working. We are looking at repairing or replacing our roof, so that is why this has come up. It also has a ridge vent in the same area where the attic fan is located. Please let me know how to properly vent this attic. Tks
The peak over your house is higher that that over the garage so the garage venting will not contribute to the house side. I would just replace the power vent. Better to be over vented than under.
Should the area over the garage have a ridge vent? of another attic fan over garage area? Tks for your help.
1 Attachment(s)
Both attics should be vented if they are over conditioned space (which they are).
If you are re-roofing, I would opt for passive ventilation as a default. Where is the make up air coming from (i.e. soffits or gable vents)?
Soffit and Ridge venting is the preferred method of venting.
See the attachment for proper ventilation technique.
Thanks for the info...very helpful. I have 20' of ridge over house. Roofer said that is enough to vent attic with ridge vent. We have soffits. Any additional feedback / advice would be appreciated.
If you are going back with asphalt, keep in mind that ventilation will be a bit more important to allow for some convective air movement in the attic.
What are you putting back? I would hate to see asphalt back on in lieu of what was previously attractive shake.

Nail of the Day: OPI Uh Oh, Roll Down The Window
Yes, the name is absolutely awful and I am extremely disappointed in OPI for not being more clever.
Would you wear it?

The Crew Chief Who Would Be Kingmaker
Can Ray Evernham do for Dodge what he did for Jeff Gordon?
Dave Marcis, a longtime IROC test driver, said, "He was never satisfied with its being just close. He always wanted it exactly perfect. He spent a lot of time making new tools and new devices and things to measure the cars better and more accurately."
In June 1992, Evernham joined Hendrick Motorsports to begin building Gordon's team. His wife, Mary, and their son, Ray J., who was a year old, were still living in New Jersey. Five weeks into his new job, on July 20, 1992, Evernham took a phone call from his wife and learned that their son had leukemia. He rushed home to New Jersey.
Evernham said, "I sat in the waiting room with another man, a Vietnam vet, whose son had a very bad form of brain cancer. We sat there and cried and cried. The man said he had seen a lot in his life -- had seen a lot in Vietnam -- but that this was the worst thing he had ever had to deal with."
Hendrick was one of the first to visit. Recalled Evernham, "For six weeks, while Ray J. was in the hospital, Rick flew me back and forth every week. I'd work four days at the shop. and then he flew me back every Friday." Eventually, Ray J.'s leukemia was brought under control. Ironically, Hendrick himself was diagnosed with leukemia four years later shortly before being charged with fraud in connection with the 1980s bribery and kickback scandal at American Honda Company. (Hendrick eventually pleaded guilty to a single charge of mail fraud and was sentenced to 12 months of confinement at home, where he successfully battled his own disease into remission.)
Evernham's shop was known for high turnover -- people were sacked -- but that was because he was relentless about finding crew members as committed as he was. He was meticulous about taking notes and keeping records. Former crew chief Steve Hmiel, who is now technical director for Dale Earnhardt Inc., said, "If he breaks a third gear at Pocono, he won't break that third gear ever again. And when he finds something that works, he sticks with it. If the car qualified on scuffed tires at Dover and it works, he'll always go with scuffed tires for qualifying at Dover. A lot of people see things and they don't register. With Ray, everything registers."
Hmiel also cited Evernham's passion for taking weight out of his cars. In 1995, he even tested NASCAR, and NASCAR snapped back, hitting Evernham with a then-record $60,000 fine and probation for using an unapproved part. It was a wheel spindle manufactured with holes in it to lighten the part. Evernham said, "That taught me not to be a smartass. I knew I was playing on words in the rule book. It was the stupidest thing I ever did."
Perhaps the team's most clever and successful strategy was to change just two tires instead of four at the final pit stop of a race, which often gave them the lead because of the time saved. Then, somehow, Gordon would hang on to win, keeping everyone else behind him despite the better traction the competition had with four fresh tires. Sometimes, Gordon even drove away from the field.
Another Evernham skill was to dial in the ideal chassis setting during a race. Rusty Wallace's crew chief, Robin Pemberton, said, "There were many, many times when they were not very good during the middle of the race, and damned if they didn't win the race by the end." Evernham himself believes he may have had an edge with shock-absorber technology, which he first learned at IROC.

I worked to develop the complete brand identity for local a craft soda company based out of Sacramento,CA.
Since early 2016 I have continued working with them to produce a multitude of products and marketing elements.
Visit www.burlybeverages.com for more information.
Founded by one of Sacramento's most respected and experienced coffee roaster; the service provides weekly roasts, freshly ground directly to customers' homes or offices.
When I was approached by Benza, the CEO and founder of Seasons Coffee Roasters, I was very excited - as anyone who knows me will say, I've been a coffee fanatic as long I've been a creative.
The logo was inspired by the most obvious of images however, the opportunity to create a monogram that also perfectly matched the shape of the brand could not be overlooked. The custom logotype was also intentionally crafted to be in direct opposition with the monogram, the two together provided a sense of both D.I.Y & classic aesthetics that I thought worked great together. I was directly inspired by urban clothing lines & skateboard companies.
Preservation & Co. is a Sacramento-based canning and speciality drink mix company. Winner of the best Bloody Mary mix in California, I was hired to develop a series of four shirt designs that would portray the diverse and fun nature of the brand.
The new Logo was also developed to convey a sense of timelessness, presence and authority while also harkening back to the era in which hand-crafted and hand-made products were the hallmark of american industry.
Ideateam is a 7-12 piece (depending on the show!) Funk band based out of Sacramento,Ca.
The band approached me with the idea of branding the band in a way that would be both memorable, modern yet nostalgic to the era in which their music was inspired. The idea would be to use this new image on the new record with the possibility of continuing the look long-term.
I had always been inspired my logo-types that used just the letter-forms to convey the feel of the band, but I also loved seeing when bands had elements to their logo that would be used throughout their merch and promotional materials.
Since this was the debut album from the band, and would basically introduce them into the scene – the idea of a simple yet energetic album package came to mind. A bright, collaborative mixing of talented musicians would be the theme of this, thus producing a very high-energy, colorful album cover.
The poster concept came from the idea that this album would be released on Halloween and needed to be something that was as impactful as the album itself.
Poster design work is too far and few these days for me, but when given the chance i like to experiment and find new techniques and styles.
These are some of my favorites.
Here are collections of logos I have done over the years.
Some current, some 'retired' some never to have seen the light.
Nonetheless I enjoyed making these.
Logo design for ALLSTAR BURGER in Austin,Texas.As you can see, the color scheme and overall brand was spread across the whole of the restaurant branding. Seeing a client keeping constancy throughout the brand makes me smile.
Apparently they do very well in town as well!
Other Photography:
Brad Warner contacted me and asked if I was able to use one of my poster illustrations for the cover of his 2014 book.
Brad's biggest influences have been his love for the band 'KISS' and his practice of Zen. The painted figure featured here is known as a "Daruma Doll" and is wildly popular among the Japanese, it's originally painted to resemble the founder of Soto Zen in Japan, Bodhidharma. Naturally combining these elements made perfect sense for a cover of his latest book.

Since then the event has grown to a 300 seat event at the Thornbury Theatre in 2013 and this year straddled the great Melbourne divide, staging events both NORTH and SOUTH of the river. Some of the women speaking are dedicated riders, some have never been on a bike. It's a feel good afternoon of talking, laughing and celebrating women's unique take on the world of riding.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
ESPN's Interview with Mike Danton Tonight
by Alanah McGinley on 05/03/11 at 06:19 PM ET
Comments (1)
A reminder of this broadcast, which we posted about several days ago (*link includes a short video clip).
On Tuesday, May 3, at 7 p.m. ET, ESPN's award-winning primetime news magazine will retell the Mike Danton odyssey, including the first interview with Danton's mentor and agent David Frost (aka. Jim McCauley).
Mike Danton's dreams seemed realized – a promising NHL career, wealth, a nice home – until a failed murder-for-hire plot landed him in jail for almost five years. Danton claimed the intended target was his father, Steve Jefferson, whom he says abused him when he was a child. The FBI believes the target was Danton's youth coach, agent and surrogate father, David Frost. The two men Danton approached at different times to carry out the murder, St. Louis strip club bouncer Ron Jones and Justin Levi Jones, a police dispatcher who tipped off the FBI, point to Frost as the target.
The episode prompts Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun, to ask on Twitter:
"Wonder what will get bigger TV numbers in the US tonight? Playoff hockey or Mike Danton lying to ESPN."

While there's a place to mount the triangle and first aid kit (they're mandatory in Germany and maybe other countries in Europe), they're optional on the USA cars. If you do European delivery, though, they're in the car to keep the Polizi (sp?) happy. I had to pack mine home in my luggage...they said they would dissapear if left in the vehicle.
N2 has some advantages, but I'm not sure it's really worth it. Most of the air you pump in is N2 anyway, but using strictly N2, you don't get the moisture or oxygen that can slowly degrade the insides. With the TPMS, maybe worth it, but I've had lots of cars for a long time and never had a problem.
The TPMS don't show tire pressure, only a change after a reset. So, you won't know if a tire is getting low until the green changes to red. I prefer the system that actually shows you the actual pressure, but these do not do that. You need to stop somewhere that has the N2 to refill. Then, you must ensure you haven't traveled too far, or the
heat up and determining proper pressure gets messier. Some places give lifetime refills, but you have to get there first!

The objective of the present study was to detect the association of the rs4731702 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and serum lipid levels in the Guangxi Mulao and Han populations. A total of 727 subjects of Mulao and 740 subjects of Han Chinese were included. Serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and apolipoprotein (Apo) B levels were higher in Mulao than in Han (). The T allele carriers had higher serum LDL-C and ApoAI levels in Mulao, whereas they had lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and ratio of ApoAI to ApoB in Han () than the T allele noncarriers. Subgroup analyses showed that the T allele carriers had higher HDL-C, LDL-C, and ApoAI levels in Mulao males and lower ApoAI levels and ratio of ApoAI to ApoB in Han males than the T allele noncarriers. The subjects with TT genotype in Han females also had higher total cholesterol, LDL-C, ApoAI, and ApoB levels than the subjects with CT or CC genotype. Serum lipid parameters were also correlated with several environmental factors in both ethnic groups. The differences in the association of KLF14 rs4731702 SNP and serum lipid levels between the two ethnic groups might partly result from different gene-environmental interactions.

Slate's Farhad Manjoo wonders what the fuss was all about of the Internet of 1996:
I started thinking about the Web of yesteryear after I got an e-mail from an idly curious Slatecolleague: What did people do online back whenSlate launched, he wondered? After plunging into the Internet Archive and talking to several people who were watching the Web closely back then, I've got an answer: not very much.
Some of Yahoo's 1996-era front pages have been saved in the Internet Archive. What's interesting about them is what they lack. First, no e-mail: The first webmail site, Hotmail,launched in July of 1996. There was no instant-messaging software; the first big IM client, ICQ, hit the Web early in 1997.
This would be sad if it were true, but it's not true.
NetCruiser for the Mac will include support for GIF and JPEG image formats and drag-and-drop support. NetCruiser also includes access to the Web, email, Usenet newsgroups, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), Gopher, ftp, and Telnet.
If Slate can't remember what the net was like back when it was doubling every six months, that's a reflection of the poor physical record that the virtual world has left behind.

MLB: Pirates, Padres swap prospects
PITTSBURGH — The Pirates acquired outfielder Jaff Decker and right-handed pitcher Miles Mikolas from the San Diego Padres for outfielder Alex Dickerson on Monday, while also cutting ties with first baseman/outfielder Garrett Jones and right-handed pitcher Kyle McPherson.
Decker hit .286 with 10 home runs and 40 RBIs in 105 games with Triple-A Tucson in 2013. He also went 4-for-26 with a homer and two RBIs in 13 games with the Padres. Mikolas went 4-2 with 26 saves for Tucson this year and made two scoreless appearances for San Diego.
Dickerson was selected the Eastern League Rookie of the Year after hitting .288 with 17 home runs and 68 RBIs with Double-A Altoona.
To make room for Decker and Mikolas on the 40-man roster, the Pirates designated Jones and McPherson for assignment.

Cancer surivors have limited knowledge about second primary cancer (SPC) screening and suboptimal rates of completion of screening practices for SPC. Our objective was to test the efficacy of an educational material on the knowledge, attitudes, and screening practices for SPC among cancer survivors.
Randomized, controlled trial among 326 cancer survivors from 6 oncology care outpatient clinics in Korea. Patients were randomized to an intervention or an attention control group. The intervention was a photo-novel, culturally tailored to increase knowledge about SPC screening. Knowledge and attitudes regarding SPC screening were assessed two weeks after the intervention, and screening practices were assessed after one year.
At two weeks post-intervention, the average knowledge score was significantly higher in the intervention compared to the control group (0.81 vs. 0.75, P<0.01), with no significant difference in their attitude scores (2.64 vs. 2.57, P?=?0.18). After 1 year of follow-up, the completion rate of all appropriate cancer screening was 47.2% in both intervention and control groups.
While the educatinal material was effective for increasing knowledge of SPC screening, it did not promote cancer screening practice among cancer survivors. More effective interventions are needed to increase SPC screening rates in this population.

REFILE-Impoverished Haiti manufacturing its own Android tablet
By Amelie Baron
PORT-AU-PRINCE, March 16 (Reuters) - Better known for producing third-world poverty and political mayhem - as well as a world-class rum - the Western Hemisphere's least developed country has made a surprising entry into the high-tech world with its own Android tablet.
Sandwiched between textile factories in a Port-au-Prince industrial park next to a slum, a Haitian-founded company has begun manufacturing the low-cost tablet called Sûrtab, a made-up name using the French adjective "sûr," meaning "sure," to suggest reliability.
Unlike the factories next door where low-paid textile workers churn out cheap undergarments for the U.S. market, Sûrtab workers are equipped with soldering irons, not sewing machines.
Dressed in sterile white work clothes, and a hair net, Sergine Brice is proud of her job. "I never imagined I could, one day, make a tablet by myself," she said.
Unemployed for a year after losing her position in a phone company, Brice, 22, was not sure she had the skills when she took the job after Sûrtab opened last year.
"When I arrived and realized the job deals with electronic components, I was wondering if I would be able to do it. But when I finished my first tablet ... I felt an immense pleasure," she said.
Her family and friends were skeptical. "None of them believed me," she said. "Tablets made in Haiti? What are you talking about?" they told her. Continuación...

Pre-Draft Needs: CB, DE, G
Players Added
Round 1-Jerry Hughes/DE - This position was a huge need considering the Colts like to rotate their defensive ends. Hughes should wind up being the first end off the bench this season.
Round 2-Pat Angerer/LB - Linebacker wasn't really a need, but the talented defensive player figures to back up starting MLB Gary Brackett this season. It will be interesting to see where Angerer lines up long-term since Brackett signed a new deal in March.
Round 3-Kevin Thomas/CB - Cornerback was probably their biggest need coming into this year's draft. Thomas, had he not gotten hurt during a recent minicamp practice, would have competed for a role in their dime defense. Now, he may miss his entire rookie season.
Round 4-Jacques McClendon/G - The Colts could use a developmental interior offensive lineman. McClendon fits that profile well. He has a decent shot to make the final roster coming out of the preseason as their fourth guard.
Round 5-Brody Eldridge/TE - He was one of the best blocking tight ends available for this year's draft. Look for Eldridge to play in two-tight end sets.
Round 7-Ricardo Mathews/DT - While he only started one season in college, Mathews has a ton of upside. He's the kind of developmental prospect who could push for a significant role down the line.
Round 7-Kavell Conner/LB - Because of his size, Conner projects more to WLB than SLB in the Colts' defensive scheme.
Round 7-Ray Fisher/CB - The Colts aren't very deep at this position, so Fisher has a chance to latch on as the fifth cornerback.
Post-Draft Needs
Defensive End - With veteran DL Raheem Brock out of the picture, the Colts need to replace his close to 800 defensive snaps from last season. Hughes will replace some of it on the outside, but Brock's inside nickel role still needs to be filled.

Health website to remain a work in progress
MIAMI — The HealthCare.gov website will still be a work in progress beyond the end of the month, Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Tuesday, appearing to soften a promise that the site will be working by then for the vast majority of users.
"The 30th of November is not a magic go, no go date. It is a work of constant improvement. We have some very specific things we know we need to complete by the 30th and that punch list is getting knocked out every week," Sebelius told The Associated Press.
Sebelius made stops in Orlando and Miami on Tuesday to address the fallout over the new health care law's paltry enrollment figures and continuing website problems.
The Obama administration has staked its credibility on turning HealthCare.gov around by the end of this month. From the president on down, officials have said the website will be running smoothly for the "vast majority of users" by Nov. 30, but have been vague about what that actually means.
The definition has morphed in the past few weeks. At an Oct. 30 congressional hearing, Sebelius projected "an optimally functioning website" by the end of November. On Nov. 5, Marilyn Tavenner, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, testified that the site would be "fully functioning" by that date.
Last week, President Barack Obama said the "the improvement will be marked and noticeable."
On Tuesday, Sebelius told the AP it would work for most users by the end of the month, but would still require fixes because of the magnitude of the first-of-its-kind project.
"We recognize that there will still be periodic spikes, glitches, whatever that people will experience," she said.
When asked why officials pushed ahead with the Oct. 1 launch date despite warnings the site hadn't been properly tested, Sebelius said they were hoping to give consumers as much time as possible to enroll before coverage begins in January.
"We were hoping to maximize that," she said. "Clearly that was a bad call."
Federal health officials made significant improvements implementing software fixes over the weekend, mostly dealing with the application portion, which had stymied many users. More than 90 percent can now successfully complete their applications, HHS communications director Julie Bataille said.
On Capitol Hill on Tuesday, a panel of computer security experts raised another fear — that the website is vulnerable to hacking.
They said they wouldn't trust their own personal information to the site, although they acknowledged they don't have firsthand knowledge of the system and its architecture.
David Kennedy, head of the Ohio-based TrustedSec, a company that offers to hack into private systems to determine vulnerabilities, told the House Science Committee that a cursory look at the website revealed multiple "exposures" that put it at "critical risk."
Asked about those concerns, Sebelius said: "I feel like it's safe. Absolutely," adding "When there have been issues identified or flagged, it's immediately fixed."

Event: U.S. Winter National Championships (Day 3 of 3)
U-M Team Finish: 7th Place of 34 Teams (128 points)
Next U-M Event: Friday, Jan. 3 -- at Orange Bowl Classic (Key Largo, Fla.), 2 p.m.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The No. 25-ranked University of Michigan women's swimmers wrapped up their three-day appearance today (Saturday, Dec. 7) at the U.S. Winter National Championships, placing seventh with 128 points inside Allan Jones Aquatic Center.
The day was highlighted by senior Angela Chokran's (South Elgin, Ill./St. Charles North) eighth-place finish in the 'A' final of the 200-yard breaststroke, where she touched in 2:13.36. During the morning prelims, she earned an NCAA 'B' cut (2:11.30), her third in the last three days (200-yard individual medley and 100-yard breaststroke).
Michigan had several other 'B' finalists during the evening session, including junior Claudia Lau (Hong Kong, China/Dicoesan Girls' School) in the 200-yard backstroke; sophomore Zoe Mattingly (Zionsville, Ind./Zionsville) and freshman Julia Fiks Salem (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Domus Sapientiea) in the 100-yard freestyle; and senior Courtney Beidler (Richboro, Pa./Council Rock South) in the 200-yard butterfly. That quartet clocked in with NCAA 'B' marks.
Lau set a new personal best in her event (1:57.37), and Mattingly and Fiks Salem achieved new personal bests as well at 49.71 and 49.75, respectively.
Sophomore Marni Oldershaw (Oakville, Ontario/Iroquios Ridge) earned two of U-M's 10 NCAA 'B' cuts on the day in the 200-yard backstroke and 200-yard butterfly.
The Maize and Blue will not compete again until the New Year following its annual training trip between Christmas and New Year's Day. The divers will compete at the Mike Pepe Invitational on Jan. 3 at noon in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The swimmers will race in the Orange Bowl Classic, also on Jan. 3, beginning at 2 p.m. in Key Largo, Fla.

OWI in Iowa
Question Details: Can a plea bargain be made to reduce a 4th owi offense to a serious misdemeanor?
B. B., Member, New Jersey Bar / FreeAdvice Contributing Attorney Answered 8 years ago| Contributor
That would depend on all of the facts of your case, including the record of the three prior DWI's. A fourth DWI charge says to any court that you have a serious problem, and you are looking at the highest levels of punishment for DWI -- probably for a second time.

There will be a show on Monday 20 June 6-8pm, Ground Floor, 39 Webb Street, Mount Cook, Wellington.
More information about the drama here. (pdf, 585kb)
* * *
DVD & Resource
The performance will be filmed and made available to schools, parents, and communities. The film will come with a teaching and discussion resource that talks more about bullying as a human rights issue and the impact of bullying on refugee-background youth.
Contact Alia Bloom, research coordinator, for more information.
Who we are
ChangeMakers Refugee Forum is a rights-based, non-government organisation (NGO) representing more than 14 refugee-background communities in Wellington.
What we do
We work to achieve our vision of New Zealanders from refugee backgrounds participating fully in New Zealand life through community development, research, and advocacy.
Our People
Our Board is governed by people from refugee or refugee-like backgrounds who represent the interests of refugees generally rather then their communities specifically.

New type of radioactive waste arrives at WIPP
CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) — Waste shipments from the Sandia National Lab are now arriving at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad.
The Department of Energy announced the first of eight [auth] planned defense-related remote-handled transuranic waste shipments from the Albuquerque lab arrived Dec.16 for permanent disposal in WIPP's underground repository.
The Carlsbad Current Argus (http://bit.ly/tWwxfl ) reports that Department of Energy's efforts to clean up New Mexico's transuranic waste include 913 shipments from Los Alamos National Laboratories to WIPP. Transuranic waste is the byproduct of nuclear defense program research and weapons production.
The Department of Energy says the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is designed to safely isolate defense-related nuclear waste from people and the environment.
