Facebook Gets Permission to Expand Headquarters in Menlo Park

Menlo Park city council approved an environmental impact report and developmental agreement for a project that will bump the number of employees up to about 6,600
Facebook got
the green light to expand
its headquarters in Menlo Park, California to boost its head count over 6,000 employees.
Currently, the social network has 2,200 employees in Menlo Park. But yesterday, the Menlo Park city council approved an environmental impact report and developmental agreement for a project that will bump that number up to about 6,600.
All five city council members voted yes at the meeting last night.
"The bottom line is that we have a development agreement with Facebook that we're excited about," said Kirsten Keith, mayor of Menlo Park. "We're excited to have Facebook as our neighbors. I am pleased with what we have come up with."
Facebook will pay Menlo Park $850,000 per year for a 10-year period to cover the impact of the additional workers. It will also pay a one-time fee of over $1 million for capital improvements.
In addition, Facebook plans to establish a $500,000 community improvement fund, high school internship programs and job training seminars.
The social giant is also looking to build a new campus, which is a 22-acre site across the Bayfront Expressway. The site is to include could include five new buildings total, and it will be connected to the current Menlo Park campus via an underground crossing. Both campuses combined will likely have around 9,400 employees, and it should be complete in 2014.
All of the new changes to Menlo Park have concerned neighboring cities like Atherton, which said traffic at intersections could be an issue with all of the new employees. Both cities are currently in talks trying to come up with an agreement. Facebook offered suggestions such as employee carpool options.
Expanding its headquarters isn't the only big news Facebook has revealed recently. The social network launched the largest IPO in history this month, which valued the company at over
$100 billion
. Facebook also announced that it plans on creating
its own smartphone software
by next year and may
purchase Opera Software
for $1 billion.

It's been a quieter offseason for the Bulldogs in 2009. One thing that hasn't changed, though, is Richt's preseason practice plan, which began with Georgia's first practice Tuesday.
"The plan is the same," Richt said during Tuesday's press conference. "There is always a little bit of adjustment here and there as we look through things. I think you have to look in the eyes of you players, gauge where they are, and make the right adjustments as you go."
Richt has kept the team's schedule flexible in order to address the many questions that have followed his team to practice. The most significant: can the Bulldogs find a comfort zone now that the spotlight of being the country's top team in the preseason has been lifted?
For some players that comfort has already been felt.
"It's not so much that we like it, but I feel like it's better for us as a team," linebacker Rennie Curran said. "We can focus more, and there's not all the craziness going around with the fans asking how we feel about being No. 1 and so forth."
But whether or not Georgia can climb back up the ranks and stay competitive in the SEC may depend on how the replacements of Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno fare this year.
Stafford's replacement at quarterback, Joe Cox, received praise from Richt, who said the senior has "prepared for this moment" after waiting patiently for four years to earn the starting job. Cox has only one start in his career, coming in 2006 against Ole Miss.
"As the quarterback, I have to make sure I know what to do," Cox said. "I want to be able to make quick decisions and right decisions all the time. You can talk all you want about how you feel, but the main thing is playing the game. I am looking forward to it."
While Cox's status as the team's opening-day starter has been solidified, who will play behind him at running back has yet to be decided. Georgia has several candidates for the position, which may leave Richt to alternate between a series of running backs throughout the season.
Redshirt sophomore Caleb King and sophomore Richard Samuel appear to be the frontrunners for the job, but four other running backs sit behind them in depth chart and could see carries this year.
"We are right at the point where we are going to find out who is the best back, if there is such a thing," Richt said. "We might have a situation where two or three are the best back. I doubt one man will get every carry. More than likely it will be by committee."
Richt also addressed the current status of Georgia's offensive line, which has battled through a string of injuries the past year. Already, the Bulldogs have lost guard Tanner Strickland to season-ending shoulder surgery, but regain a healthy Trinton Sturdivant, who missed all of the 2008 season with a knee injury.
Guard Chris Davis, a Jefferson High graduate, and tackle Vince Vance both missed spring practices while rehabilitating from surgeries, but are expected to participate in preseason drills.
"We are counting on the offensive line to perform well," Richt said. "I really believe they will perform better, and they are used to working together."
Georgia's preseason practice schedule continues through August and ends Sept. 3. The Bulldogs open the regular season two days later, when they visit Oklahoma State.

Susan Bennett's first job entailed selling very large knives (think the bowie knife – that's not a knife, this is a knife – from Crocodile Dundee) to complete strangers, along with camping goods and other assorted goodies such as replica pistols. Twenty years on, it finally occurred to her to wonder what some of those people wanted those replica pistols for, and she strongly suspects that many of the people she sold handcuffs to weren't actually buying them as a joke gift, as they said. As such thoughts never entered her young head, she was able to look her customers happily in the eye and smile broadly as she helped them with their purchases, never suspecting that in an hour's time they would be handcuffed to a bed somewhere.
Since then she has worked in a mercantile agency, in technical support in the early days of P.C.s; mostly in administration and once, packing boxes. She feels the less said about that last one the better.
She cites Lisa Simpson as her greatest influence.
In addition to Grace, she has developed The Cook's Toolkit by Clever Pumpkin. Some of her recent short fiction appears in Overland (203) and Etchings (10.)
She is currently considering writing a sequel to Grace and will soon release Trial of the Romance Novelist.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and the Republican Party collected $101.3 million in July, far outstripping President Obama and the Democratic National Committee.
Obama and his allies raised $75 million last month, the president's team announced today. David Jackson has more in The Oval.
Romney, the RNC and state parties participating in the joint fundraising efforts have $185.9 million in cash reserves at the end of the month, his campaign announced in an early morning e-mail.
"Once again, we see that for many people this is more than a campaign, it is a cause," Romney finance chairman Spencer Zwick and RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a joint statement.
The campaign did not disclose how much of Romney's cash reserves are set aside for the general election. That is money he cannot tap until month's end when he is formally nominated at his party's convention in Tampa.
Romney and the Republican Party have now raised more than their Democratic rivals for three straight months, starting with May. Last month's haul is slightly less than the $103.1 million raised in June.
The total announced today by Romney includes money from fundraisers last month in London and Jerusalem.
This election marks the first since 1972 in which neither candidate is accepting public money. As a result, Romney, Obama and their surrogates have maintained a heavy schedule of fundraisers coast-to-coast.
Today, Obama is slated to collect $2.5 million at two Connecticut events, including one co-hosted by Hollywood luminaries, such as producer Harvey Weinstein, writer Aaron Sorkin and actress Anne Hathaway, the Associated Press reports.

After a Flash Flood, Bridge is Fixed in a Flash
The Apache Canyon Creek Bridge is repaired in a day. From discovery to delivery, a perfect blend of teamwork was the key to Caltrans success.
[Click on photos to enlarge and to view captions.]
Last month's rain storm prompted a flash flood that partially damaged and temporarily closed the Apache Canyon Creek Bridge, which carries a 120-foot segment of the Maricopa/Ojai Highway (State Route 33) over the rural creek in Ventura County.
The bridge is 58 miles northeast of the City of Ventura and halfway between Ojai and Maricopa (Kern County). It was seismically retrofitted in 1996 and carries an estimated 420 vehicles per day, of which 10% are heavy trucks.
One bridge column was impacted, but it was quickly repaired by a skillful District 7 Special Crews structural bridge maintenance, led by John Valencia, bridge crew supervisor, North region; allowing the bridge to reopen to the public within 24 hours. The crew members are Jose Monzon, Juventino Rosas, Randy DesRosiers, Charles Young, Javier Fernandez, Standard Miles, Saul Remigio, and Gilberto Quinonez.
"The bridge crew's professionalism allowed District 7 to complete the column repair internally - in a matter of hours- saving taxpayers thousands of dollars and delays for motorists," said Dan Freeman, Deputy District Director, Maintenance Division.
The Ojai maintenance road crew, led by supervisor Michael Torbet, discovered the problem on Monday, October 4 – following a weekend storm - while inspecting and removing storm-related debris from drains and culverts on the state highway system. The creek forks off from the 85-mile long Cuyama River, which flows through three counties and through the heart of the Los Padres National Forest.
Knowing that a full or partial closure of the Apache Canyon Creek Bridge could impact motorists with a 120-mile detour, the Structure Maintenance and Investigations (SM&I) unit immediately worked on a repair plan. Edwin Mah, area bridge maintenance engineer; and Bing Wu, senior bridge engineer; - on location at the bridge site - determined that the unaffected columns would support the bridge deck and that one lane (southbound) could remain open for two-way controlled traffic to allow motorists to travel.
"From my experience, the high water mark on the bridge and damage high on the column, it is possible that a huge log ran the swift rapids of the creek," said Kwan Lam, office chief, Structure Maintenance and Investigations. "Upon impact, the rebar bent and the concrete broke."
The early October storm resulted in nearly $20,000 in repair costs to this 51-year old bridge that was repaired and reopened by the close of business on Wednesday, October 6.
It was a perfect storm – partly because it didn't linger on to bring more flooding and damage and partly because it brought together a Caltrans team to work through delivering a solution – within a day and without a hitch. Perfect!

SAN ANTONIO — A soldier stationed in San Antonio was acquitted Friday of allegations he raped a woman he supervised in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
But a military judge at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland did find Army 1st Sgt. Richard A. Smith, 45, guilty of myriad lesser charges, sentencing him later in the day to two years in prison,
Smith's convictions included two incidents of abusive sexual contact, three inappropriate relationships, maltreatment of three subordinates, making a false official statement and adultery. The charges relate to a sergeant, a corporal and a specialist he supervised at the military prison.
News Channel
Smith began his court martial Thursday by admitting to the lesser infractions, which could have resulted in sentences of up to 15 years in prison. He would have faced up to life in prison had he been convicted of rape.
In addition to the two years prison, Army Maj. Bret Batdorff, who oversaw the trial, ordered Smith to register as a sex offender. He was also dishonorably discharged.
Smith, who is from Orlando, Fla., and has been married since 2001, admitted rubbing the corporal's thigh and biting her neck. He also acknowledged having affairs with the sergeant and the specialist — who is married to someone else — at separate times between 2012 and 2013.
The sergeant told authorities she was raped as she sought a way to end their consensual relationship.
Smith also admitted lying to investigators looking into the incidents.

Flexibility clauses in the Fair Work Act, which enable employers and employees to negotiate their own agreements relating to working hours and rates of pay, have been labelled "a sham" and "completely ineffective" by National Retail Association executive director
On Australia Day last week, most businesses in the retail, services and hospitality sectors were forced to pay staff a 75 per cent holiday loading.
Award flexibility clauses were designed by Fair Work Australia as one way in which business owners could ease spikes in labour costs resulting from public holidays, weekends and overtime. Flexible agreements allow businesses to pay staff a year-round flat rate, higher than the award wage, in lieu of penalty rates and holiday loading. This enables them to extend opening hours or to remain open on public holidays.
However, the clauses have been criticised for their lack of practicality on an enterprise level and poor administration by the Fair Work Ombudsman.
"An employee and employer can sit down in good faith and devise an agreement that is suitable for both, but there is no way they can know at the time of entering into the agreement whether it is valid," Mr Black said.
"Later on, the Fair Work Ombudsman can come in and say 'no, we don't think the no-disadvantage test has been met here, the agreement is invalid' and you have to back pay the higher wage in retrospect."
"It's an entirely unworkable arrangement, particularly for small businesses. They're just not going to take the risk."
David Gregory, director of workplace policy at the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), is similarly critical of the award flexibility clauses.
"These agreements aren't easy for a small business owner who isn't familiar with [the bargaining process], and who isn't comfortable with approaching an industrial tribunal," he said.
Council of Small Business of Australia (COSBOA) executive director Peter Strong explained the dilemma faced by small business owners deciding between a flexible agreement or paying penalty rates.
"They're faced with the decision: do I break the law or do I shut my shop and not look after my employees who want to work on a Sunday?," he said. "If entering into these agreements were that easy, a lot of [small businesses] would've already done it. All it takes is the Fair Work Ombudsman to help them do it."
Small business owners dealt with the dilemma of holiday loading on Australia Day in various ways.
Sydney delicatessen Delante avoided paying staff double time and a half penalty rates by rostering on only full-time, salaried employees.
Owner of Sydney's Gleebooks, David Gaunt, said high labour costs would force the store to "abbreviate" opening hours on the holiday.
Mr Gaunt conceded that, as a business owner, the prospect of paying penalty rates to employees has seen him man the store on "more public holidays than I care to remember". But, for him, paying penalty rates amounts to good human resource management.
"The reality is that retail is a poorly paid industry," he said, adding that public holidays are one of the few chances retail employees have to earn a bonus.
"We think it is appropriate to give them that," he said.

By reading all the news on the "Elmo case", I couldn't help but feel really bad that the puppeteer had to be exposed and as a result it all has ruined the image of a character that has been a part of all the American children and and so many children worldwide.
No human being is perfect but in a situation like this one, wouldn't be better of his private issue could have been handled privately?
They could have made up an excuse about why Elmo's voice would retire, or change. They could have preserved Elmo's image...
Kevin Clash, who has been the voice of Elmo for 28 years, is accused of having sexual relationships with three underage boys during his long-running career as a puppeteer on the show Sesame Street.
The accusers who have come forth so far are Sheldon Stephens, Cecil Singleton and "John Doe." Source
See, they did respect "John Doe's" privacy so why not do the same for Kevin Clash's?
I am in no way defending Kevin Clash, but the children who are fans of Elmo. That Kevin Clash should be prosecuted for what he did, yes! But should Sesame Street, Elmo and the children have to go down with him?

Cape City activities : Shop to your heart's content.
Once a single shopping center, Cavendish has attached itself to The Link mall and has changed into a customers shangri la with a plethora of shopping chances.

Edible Stories: A Novel in Sixteen Parts : In these linked stories, Mark Kurlansky reveals the bond that can hold people together, tear them apart, or make them become vegan: food. Through muffins or hot dogs, an indigenous Alaskan fish soup, a bean curd Thanksgiving turkey or potentially toxic creme brulee, a rotating cast of characters learns how to honor the past, how to realize you're not in love with someone any more, and how to forgive. These women and men meet and eat and love, leave and drink and in the end, come together in Seattle as they are as inextricably linked with each other as they are with the food they eat and the wine they drink. Kurlansky brings a keen eye and unerring sense of humanity to these stories. And throughout, his love and knowledge of food shows just how important a role what we eat plays in our lives.

Emanuel Vigeland is the brother of Gustav Vigeland, probably most famous for his sculptures in the Vigeland park. But back in 1926 Emanuel erected this building intended as a future museum for his sculptures and paintings, which then he decided to also turn into a mausoleum where his ashes should rest after his demise, in an urn above the small door, making you bow to him when exiting.
There are no windows to allow light inside the mausoleum, so the first thing to expect is darkness, and only a ray of light coming in through the low entrance door. But once your eyes get used to the lack of light, you discover that the walls are filled with fresco paintings depicting, much like the statues in the park, images from human life, from birth and all the way to death. There's sadness, joy, despair, eroticism, macabre. I can't find a single word that could probably fully describe the images. Probably everyone would feel them differently anyway. Also each corner hosts a bronze statue depicting women giving birth.
My most intense experience in the museum was caused by its acoustics actually. The shape of the room gives an incredible trajectory to the sound waves, adding a pleasant echo. You should check the museum's program in advance and if ever see an acoustic show do not hesitate to run for it. It's a unique experience and considering the museum's size, places are limited, so be there in time.

Waiting for a new game is always tough, especially after seeing a lot of enticing things on offer in the trailers for Battlefield 4. As the first Battlefield game to be released on next-gen consoles, Battlefield 4 is going head-to-head with Call of Duty: Ghosts by offering their own equivalent of dynamic maps: a multiplayer level design feature dubbed 'Levolution' that creates ongoing changes within the game environment.
Until Battlefield 4 is released, however, fans of the series are just going to have to subsist on details and gameplay footage, which luckily are in abundance. Alternatively, it will soon be possible to sign up for the Battlefield 4 beta, which allows players to explore the "Siege of Shanghai" map and get a hands-on taste of the game. At the same time, beta participants will be providing useful feedback to DICE that can be implemented before the full release.
The Battlefield 4 open beta will be available to Battlefield 3 premium members, registered owners of Medal of Honor Warfighter Limited Edition or Deluxe Edition, and those who have already pre-ordered Battlefield 4 on October 1st. For everyone else, the beta will be available to download on October 4th.
Another video details some of the customization options that will be available in-game. These include a whole library of weapon customization options to ensure that whichever gun the player is holding will be best suited to their approach, whether that means applying a more ergonomic grip, switching out the default iron sights for a red dot sight, or changing the paint so that the gun has flames up the sides like those shirts that were extremely cool in the nineties.
Paint jobs are more about just making players look cool, as a vehicle with a camouflage skin will automatically change to match the environment at the start of each level, like a chameleon. Obviously tanks and helicopters are going to be a little harder to miss, but undermining the opponent's ability to tell an aircraft apart from the sky behind it could be what makes the difference between getting blown up and survival.
This summer we saw a trailer for the revamped Battlelog, which will introduce the ability to manage your game across multiple screens and continue tracking progress and competition even while out and about. Today, Assistant Producer Jesper Nielsen has now outlined the changes and new features of the Battlelog in a handy guide. The guide covers such topics as in-game integration of the Battlelog and Geo Leaderboards that make it possible to see how players rank compared not only to other players worldwide, but also within their local area.
It certainly looks like there are enough new features available to convince Battlefield 3 players to splash out on the next game in the series, but tell us if you like the direction that DICE is taking – and if it all feels fresh enough – in the comments.
Battlefield 4 releases October 29, 2013 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360; November 12th for the PS4; and November 19th for the Xbox One.

BUFFALO (AP) Canadian authorities seized patient names and files from the Toronto office of a high-profile sports doctor suspected of distributing human growth hormone before arresting him on drug and smuggling charges, according to a court filing.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police investigators also listed "NFL file folder," "CFL file folder," a single ampoule of the human growth hormone Nutropin, and dozens of vials of pharmaceuticals marked with Russian and German characters among items taken from Dr. Anthony Galea's Institute of Sports Medicine Health and Wellness Center during an Oct. 15 search.
The lengthy list filed in Provincial Court in Toronto is part of the Canadian case against Galea, a healing specialist sought out by the biggest names in sports until being accused on both sides of the border of dealing in unapproved drugs.
He denies any wrongdoing.
The list of items seized identifies no patients, but specifies that 42 patient medical files were taken, along with a list of patient names, "professional players journal," "black daytimer with football dates," bank statements, computer equipment and a folder of checks made out to Galea.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello declined comment.
"This is an ongoing federal investigation and we will cooperate fully, but we defer any comment at this time to the federal authorities," Aiello said.
The document obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday, first reported by ESPN.com, also lists 15 ampoules and one nearly empty bottle marked Actovegin, a derivative of calf's blood used to heal injuries. It is not approved for use in the United States.
Canadian authorities in October charged Galea, the former team doctor of the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts, with selling Actovegin, conspiracy to import an unapproved drug, conspiracy to export a drug and smuggling. A May 18 U.S. criminal complaint charged him with conspiracy, smuggling, distributing human growth hormone and introducing an unapproved drug into interstate commerce.
Galea's Toronto attorney, Brian Greenspan, was in court and not immediately available for comment Tuesday. His Buffalo attorney, Mark Mahoney, did not return a telephone message.
In an interview with ESPN on Monday, Mahoney stressed Galea's practice of using homeopathic medications. Galea became widely known for using a blood-spinning technique called platelet-rich plasma therapy designed to speed recovery from injuries.
"He is not using every pharmaceutical opiate and side-effect kind of drugs ... The government loves to let people think we're talking about performance enhancements when they know exactly it has nothing to do with performance enhancement," Mahoney said.
Previously filed documents allege Galea, who is not licensed to practice in the United States, made multiple trips to U.S. cities to meet with professional athletes and injected at least seven with a drug mixture containing human growth hormone. Canadian law enforcement documents based on interviews with a Galea assistant describe meetings with more than 20 professional athletes in New York City, Boston, Tampa Bay, Orlando, San Francisco, San Diego, Washington and Cleveland from July through September of last year.
As Galea's criminal cases move through the courts on both sides of the border, the assistant, whose September arrest set the investigations in motion, is due in federal court in Buffalo later this week.
Mary Anne Catalano was charged in September with smuggling after she was stopped with syringes, human growth hormone and other drugs and equipment at the U.S.-Canada border in Buffalo. She initially said the supplies were for a lecture, but later said Galea had an appointment with a professional football player in Washington, investigators said.
A lesser charge of lying to border officers was filed last month.
A court calendar entry shows a plea set for June 24. Catalano's Toronto attorney, Calvin Berry, has said he expects the case to be resolved then, but neither he nor U.S. Attorney William Hochul would elaborate.

SLEAZE: Dave Matthews Is A Hitchhiker?!

Isn't that crazy!? What are the chances that Dave Matthews would be a hitchhiker you pick up on your way to a Dave Matthews concert!

I have tried to look at their site but I have to choose an OS which ends up only with drivers.
I need a newer version of the firmware to install a MFP Printer App for "Scan to Network Share".

If its not on the manufacturers site it possibly doesn't exist. Is there not a newer firmware version that your current one available for a different OS? E.g the latest win7 firmware will probably work with win8.
Mar 14, 2013 at 5:20 UTC
If it's an old printer it might not exist. There's not many people who 1) use lexmark anymore and 2) would write custom firmware for this specific problem.
This might be one of those things that can't be done.
Mar 14, 2013 at 5:24 UTC
What model? We have new Lexmark color printers here and the firmware is listed as a choice in the OS select menu that you mentioned.
Mar 14, 2013 at 5:28 UTC
It's a color multifunction printer.
Mar 14, 2013 at 6:11 UTC
Odd, where our firmware stuff is listed I don't see an option for firmware at all. Try calling Lexmark?
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.


text: Arnas Anskaitis is a new generation interdisciplinary artist, who is currently studying for the Master's degree in photography and media in Vilnius Academy of Arts. A. Ankstaitis' works are hard to define and categorise, as they are very diverse and synthesise experiences from different areas including photography, film, sound art, philosophy and even linguistics. His works range from photography to installation and sound art and can be characterised by perceptiveness and (self-)reflection as well as analytical thinking, which sometimes even assumes scientific tone. The topics of A. Ankstaitis' works often originate from "listening in" to the situation and the phenomenological viewpoint, which determines genuine consideration for the chosen medium and the topic of the work.

Two people have died when the motorbike they were riding collided with a car north-east of Perth on Wednesday night.
The crash happened about 7.40pm on Neaves Road near Old West Road in Bullsbrook when a Jeep Cherokee collided with a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
The 47-year-old motorcycle rider and his 39-year-old female pillion passenger both died at the scene.
The deaths bring the state's holiday road toll to four, following the death of a man in Yannarie, in the state's north, on Boxing Day and the death of a 19-year-old man in Esperance on Sunday morning.
Major crash investigators are calling for the public's assistance in their investigation into the fatal crash.
The male driver of the Jeep and his male passenger were uninjured.
Anyone who witnessed the crash or can provide further information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Qatar has pulled out of an effort to mediate an end to Yemen's political crisis, blaming the country's embattled president Friday for the impasse and potentially leaving his regime even more isolated among his neighbors.
Qatar was among six Gulf nations pushing a deal for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down after 32 years in power in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Opposition leaders had grudgingly accepted the accord, but Saleh balked at signing even as protests swelled in defiance of a deadly crackdown by authorities.
Three months of massive street protests and clashes have left about 150 people dead. Anti-government forces have called for major marches on Friday.
The six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council — which includes Yemen's powerful neighbor Saudi Arabia — said Thursday it would try to keep the peace pact alive. But the withdrawal of Qatar could pose significant hurdles in a bloc that normally acts on consensus. The other members include Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
A collapse of the Gulf initiative would also leave Saleh increasingly estranged from once-close allies that provide critical aid and trade. The Gulf council, or GCC, is playing a stronger role in regional affairs and is considering expanding beyond the Arabian peninsula to add Morocco and Jordan as members.
A statement by the official Qatar News Agency said the decision to pull out of the peace effort was made "because of procrastination and delay in signing the agreement" and Saleh's "loss of wisdom" in snubbing an opportunity for a speedy end to the unrest.
On Thursday the U.S. State Department offered its support for the deal and urged Yemeni forces to halt attacks on protesters.
"We call on the Yemeni security forces to exercise maximum restraint, refrain from violence and respect the rights of the Yemeni people to freely and peacefully assemble and express their views," spokesman Mark Toner said in a statement.
"We call on the parties to sign and implement the terms of the (GCC) agreement now to ensure an orderly, peaceful transition of power," Toner said. "This transition must begin immediately."

"President Obama is correct in saying that it is time to move forward with health care legislation. As we do so, it is crucial that we begin to move toward universal coveragebut it is also equally important that we address the out-of-control health care costs which affect every American family, every business, as well as our government."

Elementary Education
The Elementary Education major leads to certification in Illinois to teach students in self-contained kindergarten through ninth grade classrooms. Candidates who major in Elementary Education may also choose to complete additional hours to earn a middle school endorsement in one or more content areas, which qualifies them to teach those subjects in a departmentalized middle school setting. Candidates who complete WIU's Elementary Education program are highly knowledgeable, reflective teachers committed to creating positive learning communities and using research-based strategies that enable all students to be successful.
Program Coursework
and Field Experiences
In addition to specific general education coursework, candidates complete numerous courses in the major that provide opportunities to develop the knowledge and skills that will enable them to be successful teachers. Elementary Education majors complete four literacy methods courses, two science methods courses, two social studies methods courses, and two math methods courses. The program includes coursework focusing on understanding and accommodating the needs of diverse learners, using technology to enhance instruction, and ways to work with and support parents and families.
Candidates observe students during the freshman and sophomore years of the program. During the junior year, they tutor students and provide assistance in local classrooms. In preparation for student teaching, candidates teach half days for at least twelve weeks during the first semester of the senior year and teach lessons in all content areas. The program concludes with a twelve-week student teaching experience. In both the senior field experience and student teaching, candidates complete a teacher work sample to document their ability to positively impact student learning.
Program Accreditation
WIU's teacher education programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The Elementary Education program is nationally recognized by the Association for Childhood Education International. Through the completion of required coursework, field experiences, and student teaching, candidates develop the competencies delineated in state and professional teaching standards.
Career Paths
Graduates are employed as teachers in self-contained K-8 classroom. With additional coursework, candidates who earn one or more middle school endorsements are eligible to be employed as middle school teachers in a departmentalized setting.
Why Choose Elementary Education at WIU
We prepare candidates to meet the highest standards in teaching. Candidates graduating from the Elementary Education program are empowered teachers who are, in turn, able to empower all learners in their classrooms.
We emphasize the development of the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to enhance and motivate student learning.
The strength of the Elementary Education program at WIU is reflected in the number of major courses and field experiences candidates complete that prepare them for teaching in their future classrooms. Through this program, future elementary education teachers
- Acquire knowledge of the content they will teach and techniques to make the content meaningful for all students;
- Develop an understanding of the unique characteristics and needs of diverse learners;
- Learn to use research-based teaching practices to promote the growth, development, learning, and potential of each student;
- Gain experience in the use of research-based principles to plan effective instruction, integrate technology in instruction, assess student learning, and create and maintain positive, safe learning environments;
- Use professional dispositions, including those that promote fairness and reflect the belief that all individuals can learn, to positively impact student learning; and
- Reflect upon and continually improve their teaching.
Courses in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction are taught by full-time faculty, most of whom have a doctorate degree in their field. Our faculty have taught in a variety of public and private school settings and have been recognized for their excellence in teaching, scholarship, and use of technology in the college classroom. Faculty are actively involved in a variety of professional organizations, provide continuing education workshops for teachers, and publish books and articles in state, national and international journals.
The Elementary Education program emphasizes the importance of knowledge, commitment, action, and reflection in becoming an effective teacher. Department faculty provide experiences that enable candidates to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to become skilled, competent, and creative teachers who are able to facilitate students' learning. The individual assistance that faculty provide candidates ensures this goal is achieved.

About MeTRAVEL NOTICE:
LOUISVILLE April 8-10
LA May 14-17 2015
I am a professional dominatrix very much into fetish photography. I am open at this point to doing pinup, suggested nudes, etc. for fun and art. I have beautiful blond real dreads to my hips, many tattoos, no piercings. I am all about creativity, art and fetish. I'll work with photographers of all skill levels, and I'm open to TFP if your concepts spark my interest, but I am mainly accepting paid work. However, I'm very interested in bartering for wardrobe and travel!
If you're interested in booking me, please provide the following info in WRITING:..
1 Description of what you are looking to shoot with me including: Content, Length of shoot, Date, Location, Wardrobe, Pay rate, & If Travel expenses are covered?
2.Model References
I'm also open to shooting mature subjects, fineart nudes, and a degree of the risque, but I would require payment in the form of cash upfront or an item from my list we both agree on ahead of time.
If this is of interest to you, I may be interested in working with you.
FEEL FREE to email ME directly to set up shoots more quickly: email@example.com
Very interested in latex modeling, corsetry, dark imagery, religious subjects, and many various fetishes... My interests: rope bondage, electric play, spanking, latex, etc. I have a dungeon with many rooms (medical room, sissy parlour, 1900s schoolroom, and traditional dungeon.) and props for shooting, of course I am open to other settings as well. I have an extensive collection of fetish wear, enough for other models as well as myself, including men's sizes. I also have a secret collection of steampunk and victorian clothing. I do not switch even for the subject of photography, so if you wish to shoot someone in the submissive role, perhaps you should book another model for me to work with, or ask me to do so.
I am very easy to work with, friendly and laid back besides that request. I also hope you would be.
I BUILD MANY of my costumes. I have little interest in being run of the mill. If you are creative, and truly an artist, we will get along well, no matter what your stance is on fetish.

Mac Miller Talks Sea Turtles, His New Album And Rapping About Movies
"I'm royal like Tenenbaums in Lebanon" – "I'm Not Real," Watching Movies With The Sound Off
Yeah, Royal Tenenbaums is an amazing movie. The imagery there is tight, just imagining the Royal Tenenbaums in Lebanon, that'd be sick. All the Wes Anderson movies he casts very well. Like the Luke Wilson suicide scene? That shit is so tight, that shit is crazy. I love that movie for real. It's one of the movies that I've purchased off iTunes so I can watch it whenever I want.

The ShiftBar is a medium-power RGB LED controller, capable of powering three channels of LEDs from 10mA to 150mA and from 5V to 17V. It's ideal for many common-anode RGB LED bars, such as the Satellite Module 001. It uses the same A6281 controller as the ShiftBrite, with daisy-chainable SPI communication that is simple to use with any microcontroller. Each channel is controlled with its own 10-bit PWM register and 7-bit current control register. A trim potentiometer allows the user to adjust overall current limiting to any desired maximum.
The ShiftBar includes six screw terminal headers for wiring your own LEDs, as well as independent power. It also has two 6-pin headers that bring power and communications into and out of the device. Chains longer than four ShiftBars at maximum current should have power attached periodically, to counteract voltage drop along the power wires of a long chain.

FRANCES ALBRIER PUBLIC ART EVENTCommunity + History: Frances Albrier and Social Change in South Berkeley
Berkeley, California (Wednesday, January 11, 2006) - The City of Berkeley Civic Arts Program is pleased to announce a free public event on February 4 celebrating the history and legacy of social change and civil rights activism around San Pablo Park and Longfellow School in South Berkeley.
"Community + History: Frances Albrier and Social Change in South Berkeley" will take place Saturday, February 4, 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Frances Albrier Community Center in San Pablo Park. Local historian, Donna Graves, recipient of a Public Art Program grant to create a permanent interpretive plaque celebrating Frances Albrier's legacy of social activism, is coordinating the event.
Co-sponsored by the Frances Albrier Community Center as part of their Black History Month programming, "Community + History" will bring Berkeley residents together to learn about Albrier and to share their own stories of civil rights and social change in the neighborhood. Since the early 20th Century, the Longfellow/San Pablo Park area has been a racially diverse neighborhood, with African American and Asian American residents living alongside their Euro-American neighbors.
"As I dug more deeply into Albrier's life," says South Berkeley resident and Project Director Donna Graves, "I realized her remarkable activism took place in a neighborhood that had its own fascinating history. Because of patterns of housing discrimination, the area west of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Way and south of Dwight Way was a vital, multi-racial place where people worked within their own ethnic communities and formed broader alliances for social justice. For example, one of Albrier's contemporaries, Byron Rumford, organized the Berkeley Interracial Committee that raised their voice against the WWII forced evacuation and incarceration of their Japanese American neighbors."
While Berkeley's activist history of recent decades is widely recognized, local struggles for social change in earlier decades have not been well documented and are less well known. By collecting memories of community elders, the program will bring many of the neighborhood's forgotten or hidden stories to light. Participants will bring photographs and memorabilia from their neighborhood's past to be digitally scanned by the Berkeley Historical Society (BHS) and archived for preservation and future use. The event will be video-recorded and copies placed at the Berkeley Public Library's History Room, as well as in BHS archives.
Community + History: Frances Albrier and Social Change in South Berkeley
WHEN: Saturday, February 4th 2006, 2-4 PM
WHERE: Frances Albrier Community Center
2800 Park Street, San Pablo Park, Berkeley
WHAT: A free public program inviting residents to learn about Frances Albrier and share their memories of social change in the San Pablo Park/Longfellow School neighborhood from the 1930s-1960s.
This event is part of a Public Art Project of the City of Berkeley Civic Arts Commission. Co-sponsors include the Frances Albrier Community Center, San Pablo Neighborhood Council, Berkeley Historical Society and the West Berkeley Foundation.
For more information on this public art project please see the Civic Arts web page at: http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/civicarts/publicart.htm, or contact Mary Ann Merker, Civic Arts Coordinator, 510-981-7533, email@example.com, or Donna Graves at 510-540-6809.
