Build-A-Bear Workshop has gone high-tech. The company has debuted a new store design that combines its signature hands-on bear-making experience with innovative technology that's right in line with today's digitally savvy kids. The new format, which premiered in Build-A-Bear Workshop's renovated location at West County Center, St. Louis, also provides more interactive options to keep shoppers coming back.
Two years in the making, the new store design is the first significant overhaul of Build-A-Bear Workshop's store environment since the chain was launched 15 years ago.
"Since our inception, over 100 million stuffed animals have been made in our stores," said Maxine Clark, founder and CEO, Build-A-Bear Workshop. "With this new store design, we have combined the love of a teddy bear with the best of digital technology."
The changes start on the facade, which now features a large digital sign. Using Microsoft's Kinect technology and interactive touch elements, shoppers can play games on the screen by waving their hands.
The brand's signature stuffed animal-making experience remains the core of the store experience. But the overall environment has been updated with a host of new high-tech stations that increase hands-on engagement. The space also now sports audio "zones" so that sounds can be targeted to specific parts of the store.
The new options include increased further personalization at the "Hear Me" station, where shoppers, using an interactive touch screen supplied by Canvys, can now select and load popular hits from current music or sounds onto a chip plus record their own voice to personalize their stuffed animal. And at the "Fluff Me" station, shoppers can play with their new pets at a "water rippling and splashing" digital bath tub that is enabled by Samsung's SUR40 with Microsoft PixelSense technology. The tub recognizes the items as they are placed on it and reacts with sensory effects such as virtual bubbles that appear when play soap is placed on the "water surface."
In another new element, scents, ranging from chocolate chip to bubble gum to cotton candy, can be embedded in the stuffed animal.
The company plans to roll out the new environment in five additional locations (in both new and existing locations) by November, including Stoneridge Shopping Center, Pleasanton, Calif.; Annapolis Shopping Mall, Annapolis, Md.; The Somerset Collection; Troy, Mich.; and Fair Oaks Mall, Fairfax, Va.
Working with Build-A-Bear Workshop on the concept were Adrienne Weiss Corp.; Oei Design, Epoch Design Group, and Studio Productions. The company also partnered with Microsoft Corp., Samsung Electronics America, Infusion, Nanonation, Epicor Software, Parametric Sound Corporation, and Canvys -- Visual Technology Solutions.

Niese Worked with Koufax in Spring
Bison lefty met Hall of Famer in 2008
By Joel Godett / Buffalo Bisons | July 24, 2009 10:39 AM ET
"It was kind of a surprise to me because it was Sandy Koufax," Niese said. "It was just kind of an eye opener for me. I'm sitting in a circle talking pitching with guys like that. It just really didn't hit me. It was neat just to listen to what they had to say."
Niese was a veteran of just three professional seasons. He was coming off an 11-7, 4.19 ERA year at Class A-Advanced St. Lucie. Then the bullpen coach for the Mets, Guy Conti arraigned for the prospect to meet Koufax.
"They introduced him to me as Sandy so that's what I called him," Niese said. "It wasn't to where I was star struck, but it was neat just to hear him talk."
Koufax's career was finished 20 years before Niese was born, so the most the Bisons lefty has seen of the former Dodger is video. But Niese always knew about Koufax growing up and bought "Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy" to learn more. Funny enough, Niese had the book with him in spring training when Conti told him about the meeting.
"We were just talking pitching," Niese said of his interaction with Koufax. "It's kind of neat that his style of pitching and my style of pitching are pretty similar. He just kind of showed me how he gripped some of his pitches and what his thought process was when he was throwing his pitches."
A lot of that work focused on throwing the curveball, a pitch both men are known for. Niese said Koufax told him to throw the pitch the same way, and as hard as he could, every time. Koufax told him if his mechanics are right and he follows that advice, a good curveball should fly home. Niese took to the suggestion, saying it's when he tries too much to guide his curve that he hangs it and gets into trouble.
But getting to work with Koufax wasn't just a onetime deal. The Hall of Famer made an appearance in Mets camp this year as well.
"It makes you feel great," Niese said of Koufax taking the time to talk with him. "It says a lot about him. He's always been noted as a great guy and once you see it for yourself it's really neat to be associated with a guy like that. That's kind of the guy that I want to become."
And Niese has taken strides in that direction this season, at least on the field. The hurler is 5-0 in his last seven starts with an ERA of 0.71. He's also struck out 42 and walked just 12. The tear also includes a streak of 24.1 innings without allowing a run. But Niese will have to wait until the next time he sees Koufax to tell him how things have worked out.
"I didn't get his number," Niese said. "[I] probably should have, but I'm sure I'll see him again. It's always good to talk to Sandy."

On April 28, The Times printed a letter written by Jason Shreeram in which he took it upon himself to criticize our advertising methods (yard signs). He did not like our gun store signs being near the high school.
What he failed to mention was the fact that our store is located on John Morrow Parkway, directly across from the high school along with another gun store, and that we have a billboard there, too. We are a small, family-owned business just trying to make it, yet Mr. Shreeram seems to think we are promoting violence because our store is legally located near a city school (where our children attend). This is insulting.
Mr. Shreeram insinuates that we are advertising to minors and going to cause another Columbine. That is not only outrageous, it is malicious. We are law abiding members of this community who own and operate a legal business.
At the Georgia Gun Store we promote gun safety, defensive thinking and self protection. We do not promote violence and we sure don't sell guns to minors. We sell handguns, rifles and non-lethal weapons to people who want to be able to protect themselves if the need ever arises.
Ignorance and innuendos do more harm than a gun sign and law-abiding citizens have a right to own a gun if they so choose.

Austria Trend Hotel Altstadt Radisson Blu Salzburg
Top City Hotel
Rudolfskai 28, Salzburg, Salzburg
0.2 km from
The hotel offers fantastic rooms and is located next to all the tourist places. There is no parking lot nearby and the hotel doesn't have its own parking garage. The closest parking lot is 5 min walk from the hotel which is quite uncomfortable.
the site, the staff my daughter had an extrabed which was awful (the worst bed I have ever seen)
The room was beautiful, the location was fantastic and the hotel staff was very nice. We would stay there again!
the location poor rooms, no air conditioning, old building, smelly and noisy neighbor .
Excellent service and cleanliness and proximity to city centre - out of back door of hotel into main street, yet hotel quiet. Parking - very very difficult to get parking and Hotel not easy to locate because bus lane outside - buses often blocking hotel as one drives past.
Fabulous location and great service from the staff. Unfortunately our sleep was spoiled by the Irish Pub down the street being open late and very noisy patrons echoing despite closed windows until 4am.
Everything except below. The selection of food in the restaurant and the attitude of the restaurant were poor.
Welcome, level of comfort and service were excellent. Position in town centre could not be bettered.
It was amazing vacation in ancient and splendid Altstadt with luxurious service! Our gratitude to this hotel! Special thanks to Fabian Haberle!
Great Position Breakfast a bit expensive
Warm, homely ambience and excellently kept. I have been staying at your hotel for the past 5 years and the overall upgrade is excellent. No negatives to report.
The room was lovely, spacious and better than expected. The reception personnel were extremely helpful and courteous. The bacon served at breakfast was underdone and chewy, should be crisp.
I loved the room. It wqas very romantic and it was a great deal for our money. I also loved the location, it was right in the heart of salzburg. The only thing we did not like was that it was rather stuffy. The window let to square, meaning there building surrounding the window and enclosing from getting any fresh air. The air condition did not cool off the room at night, so we got rather warm and could not sleep that well.
The location was perfect. The staff were very helpful & friendly would recomend
Based in the centre of Salzberg it was easy to get around. Some noise early in the morning. The church bells tend to wake you early if you want a lie in. Our room was not the cleanest I've been in. Holes in the wall above bed tend to make us think this was not well looked after. Dirt around the bed area and carpet.
Central Location More infromation on parking would have been helpful
The hotel position to all the things needed to see in Salzburg, was EXCELLENT !! Need to have a choice of pillows and duvets (my Daughter is allergic to feathers !!!!!!! (You did change them, but polyester duvet, very thin!)
Location , Free internet access
Great location
We were a party of five adults and everyone of us was delighted with this hotel. It had a great warmth about it from the moment you step though the front door and are greeted, in excellent English, by the people in the reception area. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable, they are another indicator of the pride the owners take in their lovely hotel. The time and help they are prepared to give you is another. Its location is just perfect if you wish to stroll around the beautifull city of Salzburg, it is on the door step. Breakfast was excellent.
The staff were very helpful and the location was excellent It was very accomodating
The hotel was just where you want to be in Salzburg. It is in the center of the historic old town and an easy walk to everything. The breakfast was excellent - the best we had in our three weeks in Europe. If you are driving, get good directions to get there. Once there they give you everything you need to park the car nearby at a very good rate.
This hotel is in a great position within the Alt Stadt of Salzburg with great walking distance to the castle, Mozarts birth house, restaurants and the old part of Salzburg.
Excellent location (right in the Town Center), and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends. The shower was rather small.
The hotel is located in the old section of Salzburg, right off Marketplatz. This is a perfect location for getting around town and finding a great restaurant. Everything is in walking distance.
The situation of the Hotel was very good. The rooms were good and clean and the staff very helpful. We enjoyed the breakfast very much. The only down side of the room was the bathroom, it needed a little updating but was generally adequate.
Good location. Poor breakfast.
Location was perfect - right behind the Mozart Place, few minutes to the main sights, but just away from the noise. Semi-buffet breakfast was served by a friendly staff, variety of local bread, slices of sausages and cheese. Staff were helpful, gave us tips on Salzburg Card and even helped us book our train tickets to Wien. After check-out, they have called a taxi for us, which came in 2 minutes. None
location, only steps to all the historical spots. rooms are very small but adequate
Excellant location, staff were very helpfull and friendly
It very close to Mozart museum that mean you can walk around to old city very easy. Very nice staff and helpful.
The location is great for walking around the city and very very close to the river. The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable and we even had an infant and dog with us. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were very kind and helpful. You can not park at the hotel because its in a pedestrian zone, but there are parking ramps and lots available fairly close to the hotel. I did not like the fact that you can smoke in the hotel bar which is by the checkin desk, but we found that you were able to smoke in some restaurants as well, very surprised by this.
location good, good breakfast selection room safe was not working and despite asking ,it was not fixed,however safe facility was made available at reception
Stadtkrug is in a great location on a quite pedestrian lane in Salzburg. Only steps to outdoor cafe's and shops as well as Mirabell Palace and garden and the river. Desk staff was quite helpful including warming up our leftover pizza from another restaurant and seating us near the window. We enjoyed the outdoor rooftop dinner of beef stroganoff and spätzle. Room was clean but small and modern.
The experience was wonderful, the room was clean, the staff was extremely nice and always helpful. It was my 2nd trip to Salzburg and my friend's first trip. We would book this hotel again next time without question! The hotel food for lunch and dinner was amazing! Breakfast had a wide variety of food. We had one of the smaller double rooms and it was great!
Central Location N/A
Location was great. Hotel staff was really helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and it was all in all great stay and great service. Thank you. Everything was fine.
Very Good Service
The location was within convenient distance to all major sites yet very quiet. The staff was helpful and the breakfast was excellent.
Location -short walk over the bridge to the old town, area in Linzergasse is also very nice. Room keys are a bit strange, remote control! Breakfast was a stingy affair.
A quiet, peaceful, city-centre location and a hotel with character.
Great stay at hotel, staff were helpful when asked to change rooms since next to the elevator. Nice breakfast and wonderful location to city. Rooms clean and comfortable. The fact that the hotel allowed pets since a large dog stayed and we could hear it barking until we asked to move rooms. Very smoky in the bar/ reception area. Be nice if they could have opened a window.
Location, excellent service from Ulrike and the restaurant staff. Good food. Disappointed to find the spare bed propped up against our window but we moved that so not a problem
Good design, comfortable Poor quality of breakfast, lack of space
the restaurant was excellent and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly the shower soaked the bathroom floor
It was right in the heart of everything, but a cab ride from the train station. The shower had no door and the bathroom would get flooded every time we used it.
The staff was wonderful! Our room was also wonderful! We would go back here again!
Perfect locatiin. Amazing stay. Staff was very attentive. They went out of their way to assist my mother and even drove to a local market to purchase soy milk for my breakfast. I'm in the travel industry and highly recommend this hotel
We liked the location of the hotel. Right in the middle of everything, walkable distance of all the important sites. The friendly staff helped us. It was very noisy. We had a room that was on the street and the single window let all the noise come in and since there is a restaurant on the first floor the noise was from late at night and started again very early in the morning. If I stay there again I would ask for an interior room. I would also improve the breakfast with a little more fresh fruit.
Location, decent restaurant, price No Wi-Fi, uncomfortable bed
This is my third stay at this Hotel and I love the Innkeeper-Ulrike, she is charming, entertaining, always has a smile and kind word. The location of this Inn/Hotel is ideal for walking everywhere in Salzburg-it is so romantic to be in the heart of the olde city w/the Fortress high on the hill overlooking the storybook town. I highly recommend. This is not a complaint but a suggestion. Our bed was an iron canopy bed, king size, which was great but it truly needed a box spring as it was so low to the floor and was almost dangerous to get into, for fear of brusing your self on the metal- I know this is quite European, not to have a box spring but it may be the time to upgrade- We do low the the down pillows and comforters-they make it all worthwhile.
The last day we checked out and left our luggage at the hotel for a couple of hours, meanwhile, they realized that we had left shaving foam and some razor in our room, so they placed them in our luggage which created a problem when we were checking in at the airport, as these items are not allowed on planes. We are sure that they meant good by putting these things in our luggage but I think they should be conscious that these items are not allowed at airports
The lady who seems to be the owner was really kind and very efficient. Location was perfect. We did everything walking.
great location, service excellent, rooms interesting and comfi, no complaints whatsoever no bath, only shoer, but a good one.
it is in the perfect locality for a short stay in salzburg, all the staff were fantastic and the recent refurbishment was very stylish and did not detract from the old world charm of its surroundings. a great find if you are looking for a " hip " getaway
the location and the design of the rooms. the access to the hotel is a bit tricky. the addition of hot food to the breakfast spread is highly recommended.
beautiful room and very close to Christmas market Breakfast was good, can be a little bit more variation.
Excellent location,nice staff and very good breakfast excellent
Excellent location, friendly service, stylish and modern interior design No
even having opened a few days before my stay and not in full operation yet, the hotel is a MUST !!! just great... There is no parking at the hotel, must leave the car in a city parking lot, 5mins away, but the hotel has an agreement for its guests...
Very friendly and accommodating staff with great restaurant recommendations. Well layed out modern rooms
The location within easy walking distance of most of the tourist sites of Saltzberg. The bathroom mirror was too high for me to see myself. I never figured out how to press the button correctly on the ground floor. I would hav eliked the dining room to be available for breakfast from 7:00 A.M.
Staff was extremely attentive. Great looks, beautiful room and phantastic location of the hotel. Unbeatable value for money even in high season. Highly recommended. We will come again! The breakfast was relatively simple but sufficient.
Great location, very comfortable room, good breakfast, friendly staff The parking is miles away, but I guess it's inevitable, given the hotel's location in the middle of Salzburg's pedestrian area
Room amenities, location, breakfast N/A
I liked antique furniture and atmosphere. The breakfast was exellent. Four stars hotel would have a real luggage room (with key, shower, cloak room)
The staff on reception were excellent. Very helpful, polite and friendly.The hotel's own car park/garage was very convenient to use. No
clean, comfy and breakfast was good
Service from staff, breakfast, location
Venue was very central, staff were friendly & helpful, food provided (ie breakfast) was high quality, Health suite allowed for a lazy morning of relaxation and the added bonus was the cafe downstairs that appeared to be the only and certainly lively late night bar! The twin room was on the small side for two people, you could not get by each other easily
The location. The room was big. Breakfast had limited things but all were of good quality. Double bed was actually two single beds with two matresses and two quilts. Furniture was old. According to the description, internet was available through modem at the room; didn't say that you have to pay 35 euros guarantee to get the modem.
Friendly staff, good italian restaurant downstairs If you have an option, choose traditional room. It's much better than "modern".
ideal location in old town and good public transport to get there no air conditioning and the hotel has an Italian restaurant and the room and hallway always had a smell of pizza even first thing in the morning. Also as I had to keep the window open for air the bell tower clock strikes regularly even into the night so it keeps waking you up
Great location and staff. Very nice breakfast ! singles are very small older floors in the apartment that make lots of noise when walking around.
Excellent location. I had booked a single room and was given a large room. Good breakfast. Sound isoloation of windows and between rooms could be better.

s.crissman what kind of band exercises did you do that helped you're shins? May be worth a try! TKS!
Take my advice: Pull down you're pants and slide on the ice
posted: 10/10/2007 at 10:32 PM
i have a lot of problems with shin splints because of the way i run... I have always been a sprinter so i run on my toes with a higher than normal knee lift... the side effect of running like this is my calf muscles have outgrown the sheaths that house them (compartmentalization i think is the proper term)... the calf puts more strain on the shin muscle pulling it away from the bone... i use to get cortisone shots every three months in my shins, wear compression sleeves around my shins, tape them on sprint days, had the expensive orthodic shoe inserts that were custom made for my foot/stride/impact zone, and would ice, shock, ultrasound, heat them 7 days a week on top of taking anti-inflammatory drugs.. in the end, what made the biggest difference for me was a specific type of exercises that focus on the shin muscle itself...(i found this out when i severely sprained my ankle.. teh dr wanted to break it) basically its like a toe raise.. i would stand on a box or curb.. just something elevated that you dangle one leg off the side... with the leg that is dangling, pull your toe up while leaving your leg fulling extended. hold it for one second and push it down and point your toe to the floor, hold for one second.. so yeah, it doesn't sound like much, but the focus here is the shin muscle, so if you feel yourself working another muscle, other than your calf, then reevaluate what you are doing... repeat that 10 times for 3 sets every day... one note about doing these, your shins will be sore afterwords... after a week or two, increase to 3 sets of 15, then after another week or two go to 3 sets of 20... as far as stretching.. make sure you stretch you calves out really well and do a couple sets of push pull stretches for your shins.. sitting with your legs fully extended in front of you, push your toes away from you (dont bend the knees) hold for 10 seconds then pull your toes toward you (dont bend your knees or flex your quads) hold for 10 secs.. then relax... repeat 1-3 times... a note about these... when you first start doing them, they can make your shines and calves a bit sore.... another contributing factor is your arch supports... what kind of arch support are you using? its possible the arch support you have is to aggressive and as your foot strikes the ground, its causing you some discomfort.. its also possible the support is to squishy and allowing your arches to flatten out.. some inserts have rigid arch supports, some are soft.. you might try some different ones and see if it helps you out... also.. you said you had the coach check your gate.. was it checked when you were fresh or after you had already ran a mile? its possible that as you fatigue you start to lose your form and it could be causing you some discomfort... you might spend a little bit of time and monitor yourself while you run to see if you can detect any changes in your form as you fatigue... at the park where i run i have caught up with some people to let them know they have some form issues... some appreciate the info, some get pretty mad.... hope that helps a bit.
posted: 10/11/2007 at 3:54 PM
Thanks jbrauer I will try those exercises! As far as the arch supports I don't use any since I am running in stability shoes. I am also aware of my posture as I run since sometimes as you get tired you do tend to lean forward and that can add to the problem.
Take my advice: Pull down you're pants and slide on the ice

Stockland in late $7.5bn play for GPT
Page Tools
Party spoiler ... Matthew Quinn says Stockland's offer holds less construction risk and there are no currency risks.
Photo: Ben Rushton
Stockland Group has thrown down the gauntlet to rival Lend Lease with an eleventh-hour, $7.5 billion scrip offer for General Property Trust.
But property fund managers said last night there were expectations Lend Lease could come back with a higher price.
If successful, the merger will create a $15 billion entity - the largest diversified trust in the ASX 200 Property index and a top 20 listed stock on the sharemarket.
A merger with either party would be the 15th marriage in the listed property trust sector during the past 12 months, tallying more than $50 billion.
Stockland managing director Matthew Quinn yesterday said the group would offer .608 of its stapled securities for every one GPT unit, valuing the target at about $3.70 a share.
On a post-distribution basis for Stockland, GPT's unit holders will get closer to $3.58, which is still at the upper end of the independent expert's valuation made in the GPT takeover documents.
The offer will add about 1 per cent to earnings per security for the combined group, equal to 40.1c per unit and a further 2c to distribution.
That compares with Lend Lease's cash and scrip offer of one new security in the combined company for every 3.8 GPT units plus 65c in cash. The Lend Lease offer values GPT units at about $3.71 each, based on Lend Lease's $11.67 close last Friday. All three groups were in a trading halt yesterday. GPT last traded at $3.73; Stockland at $6.09.
A complication is the $1.3 billion worth of pre-emptive rights covering three of GPT's shopping centres owned by Lend Lease's wholesale APPF, and five office towers in Sydney's CBD.
Mr Quinn dismissed concerns that the pre-emptive rights would be a sticking point, saying they were only triggered on the sale of a property, not in a takeover.
But Lend Lease's chief executive Greg Clarke said last night that Lend Lease intended to exercise all pre-emptive rights with GPT.
Andrew Parsons, chief executive of Resolution Capital, an independent investor that is half-owned by Lend Lease, said the market would be looking for more.
"Stockland's offer is a good alternative to consider, but the price is at Stockland's peak of $6.09 and we would like to see a better price consideration," Mr Parsons said. "The assets of GPT are enormously valuable and highlight that there should be more price initiatives."
Lend Lease's proposal with GPT is a scheme of arrangement and two investor meetings are still planned for next Wednesday.
"The last-minute proposal for GPT by Stockland is well below GPT's market price and highly conditional. It is demonstrably inferior in value compared to that which GPT unit holders stand to achieve through the recommended merger with Lend Lease, and lacking detail despite having had more than five months to consider making such a proposal," Mr Clarke said.
Mr Quinn said his offer was a straightforward bid that did not need stakeholder meetings.
"Our offer is superior to Lend Lease as it holds less construction risk, will be domestic-focused so there is no currency risks and generate about $25 million in savings for investors."
Last night GPT's independent directors said the board would "provide further advice to unit holders as soon as practicable".

The initial cause cited was an electrical short-circuit in the sleeping car where the blaze originated, according to regional French authorities.
The injured were taken to a university hospital in Nancy, regional authorities said.
A train conductor alerted authorities at about 2.15am (14:15 AEDT) when he noticed smoke pouring from a wagon as the train passed the Nancy station. Flames shot up three metres into the air.
"Rescuers got to the scene at 2.22am. They discovered the first sleeping car charred," Regional official Jean-Francois Cordet said. "Inside were 12 dead, nine injured."
Firefighters rushed to the train, which had stopped on a track about 800 metres outside the Nancy station. The charred train car, No.261, belonged to Germany's national railroad, Deutsche Bahn.
The car was built in 1964 and underwent extensive renovation in 1999 and an overhaul in 2001, according Deutsche Bahn spokesman Dieter Huehnerkoch. He said the sleeping car that caught fire was believed to be en route to Munich.
Deutsche Bahn was sending experts and two board members to Nancy to take part in the investigation.
"The catastrophe was amplified by the fact that it was in a confined space. The fire was limited, and the amount of smoke very quickly became catastrophic," chief firefighter Jean-Louis Modere said.
Police investigators were on the scene. A team of psychologists was sent in to help survivors cope with the trauma. Officials offered passengers shelter in a local gymnasium.
French Transportation Minister Gilles de Robien and Louis Gallois, president of the French rail authority SNCF, were headed to the scene.

How many LinkedIn users are there in the United States? In India? In the United Kingdom? In Brazil? In France? In Germany? In outer Mongolia?
These are the questions we get on a daily basis so we thought we'd compile the top 10 countries per continent (sort of) on LinkedIn.
We should say that the figures here are from LinkedIn's own advertising engine which is not entirely reliable as well as official figures released with investor updates. Please regard these numbers as an indication only.
Here are the results as they stand for July 2013. Keep an eye out for the update!

3. Disable Really Old Technology
Let's face it, sometimes really old technology just needs to be turned off. Devices that support the first wireless standard, 802.11b, are just too slow and drag down overall performance, Kozup says. "We're advising customers to disable this in their networks," he says. "By doing so, you're speeding up everything else."
Cisco's advice: Because most 802.11b only clients are being phased out in favor of 802.11g or 802.11a/g/n devices, Cisco recommends that organizations disable the lower 2.4 GHz data rates on the WLAN (such as 1 and 2 Mbps).
4. Go with the Higher Frequency
WiFi operates in two unlicensed frequencies, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Most devices, including the iPad, are dual-band clients that can operate in either frequency. "The fact of the matter is that the 5 GHz frequency is much cleaner, much more space than the 2.4 GHz," says Kozup, "so we want to make sure those iPads are connecting as frequently as possible into the 5 GHz frequency."
The problem is that dual-band devices tend to connect into the 2.4 GHz. Cisco has come out with a product called BandSelect that automatically gets dual-band devices to use the 5 GHz frequency.
Cisco's advice: Because 5 GHz has eight times the spectrum of 2.4 GHz, and it is usually less congested, Cisco BandSelect helps make sure that clients that can use the 5 GHz bands do so. This helps free up 2.4 GHz in mixed client environments.

Yesterday was one of the more exciting days of the year in the world of IRS retirement income limits. That's right, the new 2013 numbers are out!
For Roth IRAs, the changes are minimal. Basically, you can make a little bit more money in 2013 and still be eligible.
- For married couples filing jointly: The phase-out has gone up $5,000. The new phase-out range for 2013 is $178,000 to $188,000, up from $173,000 to $183,000 in 2012.
- For singles: The phase-out has gone up $2,000. The new phase-out range for 2013 is $112,000 to $127,000, up from $110,000 to $125,000 in 2012.
- For a married individual filing a separate return who is covered by a retirement plan at work: The phase-out range remains $0 to $10,000
Also, the contribution limit for Traditional IRAs went to $5,500 from $5,000. That's nice.
There were some minor changes to 401Ks and SIMPLE plans as well. Fun times!

An effective model of using negative relevance feedback for information filtering
Algarni, Abdulmohsen, Li, Yuefeng, Xu, Yue, & Lau, Raymond Y.K. (2009) An effective model of using negative relevance feedback for information filtering. In Proceeding of the 18th ACM Conference on Information and Knowledge Management, ACM, Asia World-Expo, Hong Kong, pp. 1605-1608.
|Accepted Version (PDF 286kB)
Over the years, people have often held the hypothesis that negative feedback should be very useful for largely improving the performance of information filtering systems; however, we have not obtained very effective models to support this hypothesis. This paper, proposes an effective model that use negative relevance feedback based on a pattern mining approach to improve extracted features. This study focuses on two main issues of using negative relevance feedback: the selection of constructive negative examples to reduce the space of negative examples; and the revision of existing features based on the selected negative examples. The former selects some offender documents, where offender documents are negative documents that are most likely to be classified in the positive group. The later groups the extracted features into three groups: the positive specific category, general category and negative specific category to easily update the weight. An iterative algorithm is also proposed to implement this approach on RCV1 data collections, and substantial experiments show that the proposed approach achieves encouraging performance.

Honda's (NYSE:HMC) latest minivan comes with a feature that families with children or pets are sure to appreciate.
The 2014 Odyssey Touring Elite features an in-car vacuum cleaner, dubbed the HondaVAC. The vacuum, the result of a partnership between Honda and Shop-Vac, runs off the vehicle's battery. It can function for eight minutes after the car is turned off and continuously while the engine is running, NBCNews notes.
In addition to the vacuum, the 2014 Odyssey features Honda entertainment system, which connects with selected smartphones. The system also provides voice-controlled access to Twitter and Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) news feeds.
While minivan sales have slumped in recent years, the Odyssey remains a popular model in the class.
Shares of Honda were flat in Wednesday midday trading.


text: Raw Results - 4/11/05 - Moline, IL (Batista Interview, HBK/Hassan) » Reported by Hunter Golden of WrestleView.com » On Tuesday, April 12, 2005 at 12:22 AM EST WWE Raw ResultsApril 11, 2005Location: Moline, IL.Commentators: Jim Ross & Jerry "The King" LawlerReported by: Hunter Golden of Wrestleview.com The usual opening pyro botched tonight for some reason. The opening comet went down but nothing seemed to happen after that. JR welcomed us with King and put over Batista's first interview since becoming World Heavyweight Champion. They also put over the HBK-Muhammad Hassan match.Trish Stratus & Molly Holly v. Christy Hemme & Victoria A video of last week's encounter between Trish and Lita was shown before the match.Molly and Victoria started the action off and the two exchanged hammerlocks before Molly got the fireman's carry and took Victoria down. Victoria countered into a Japanese arm-drag before hitting holly with a scoop slam. Victoria then shook the bum and hit the moon-sault but only managed to get a two count on the cover. Christy was tagged in and landed a few kicks before getting a scoop slam and a nifty leg drop before going for a cover for a one count. Molly tossed Hemme into the ropes and Trish caught the diva contest winner with a leg before being tagged in. Trish went to work throwing Christy into the corner and landing some kicks and a hard knife-edge shot to the chest. Trish then climbed the ropes and choked Christy from the top turnbuckle.Once she descended she tagged Molly in and landed a snap mare before hitting a baseball slide drop kick. She covered for a two count but Christy kicked out. Christy then was put in a half Boston crab before she eventually fought out of it and tagged in Victoria.Victoria came in with a reverse elbow and two clotheslines before landing a high back body drop. Victoria then went for the widow's peak but the effort was thwarted by a Trish Stratus kick to the gut. Molly whipped Victoria into the ropes but was met with a kick.Christy was tagged in and landed some stiff shots before Trish interfered again and turned the momentum. Molly slung Christy into the corner and went for a somersault splash but missed. The shot knocked Trish off the apron and Christy sneaked up on the groggy Holly and rolled her up for the 1, 2, 3 and the victory.After the match Kane's pyro went off once Trish went to sucker punch Christy and chased her to the back. JR then recapped Orton's shoulder injury from a collision with the post in his match with World Heavyweight Champion Batista last week. He said that he'd have a major announcement regarding the injury later that night.****Commercial****We came back and a clip was shown of Randy Orton's shoulder surgery this past week. He seems to be using Dr. Andrews, the same Doctor who worked on Triple H's torn quad in 2001. They're expecting Orton to be out for as long as four months. Orton vowed payback.Stacy and Candice were in the back in skimpy garb talking about how it wasn't a bad thing that Batista took out Orton last week. They wished they got power bombed by him too. Trish burst in and Kane followed in hot pursuit. Kane looked back at the frightened girls in the back. Coach then was in the back and introduced Muhammad Hassan as a 'devout competitor' and that he had never given into pinfall or submission. He asked him if he had anything special in store for Shawn Michaels. Hassan said HBK only had a taste of his fury last week. Hassan promised that the joke would be on Shawn Michaels later tonight and that he'd win. Daivari said something in Arabic and we cut to a commercial.****Commercial****Triple H's music hit the arena to tremendous heat. JR announced Triple H as the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship and King put over the fact he couldn't get used to the fact that Triple H wasn't champion. After a lengthy entrance, Triple H grabbed the mic.Triple H told Batista to enjoy his first interview as World Heavyweight Champion but to enjoy the 'borrowed time'. The rematch he said had been signed that he'd face Batista at Backlash. He put over the fact that Batista was on 'fire' at Wrestlemania 21. He said he has watched the tape over and over and that he will find a weakness come Backlash. He said that weakness was in Batista's eyes. He said the eyes were terrified of the one thing that would make him the 11-time World Heavyweight Champion and that it was the Pedigree. Triple H said he knew Batista knew it. He said that when he hits the pedigree, then the whole 'lie' Batista was living would be over. He went on saying that the Pedigree was the truth and that Batista made the biggest mistake of his life when he decided to 'screw with me'. The Hurricane's music then hit and he grabbed a mic at the top of the ramp. Hurricane cut a promo putting over the fact that last time we saw Triple H he was wearing a mask, not a Hurricane mask, but a crimson mask.Triple H called Hurricane a green tomato, but was cut off as Hurricane said that he couldn't let go of the fact that he was pedigreed last time the two squared off. Triple H goaded him to come to the ring but Hurricane paused before Rosey came out and the two hit the ring.Triple H got ganged up on in the ring and took an avalanche in the corner before getting clotheslined over the top rope. Once Triple H regained his bearings he said that if Hurricane wanted to fight him, that he could and that he picked the wrong night. Triple H v. The Hurricane & RoseyTriple H ran into the ring with a chair but it was stripped by Earl Hebner. We left for commercial as Rosey began a beat down on the former World Heavyweight Champion.****Commercial****We came back to a Triple H two-count cover before wrapping a standing front face lock on the Hurricane. Hurricane fought back and ducked under a clothesline before getting caught in a huge Triple H spine buster. Triple H then went to work on Hurricane in the corner before hitting yet another Irish whip to the corner. Hurricane caught Triple H coming in with a huge uppercut. Hurricane struggled to the corner but was met by Triple H who slung him into the ropes before getting caught with a hurricanranna. Rosey was tagged in and hit some punches and a scoop slam. Rosey hit his spinning leg drop on the Game before working over him in the corner. Triple H sagged in the corner and was met with a big leg before Hurricane was tagged in. Team Hero double-teamed the Game as Hurricane hit a big leg drop. Hurricane got a two count on the cover before going to the top rope. Triple H knocked Hurricane off the top rope and then went to work on Hurricane in the corner, hitting some stomps and going to a choke. Hebner went to go get Rosey out of the ring and Triple H came over and knocked Rosey into the ropes causing him to fall over the top and get his leg tied up in the ropes. Triple H tightened the grip on Rosey and then went back to the Hurricane and hit a big pedigree for the 1,2,3 victory. Winner: Triple H via pinfallAfter the match Triple H assaulted the still upside down Rosey as JR and King put over Triple H's devastating mean streak. Triple H grabbed the mic and said that one second would be all it would take, one pedigree, for Batista to be just like the Hurricane who was laying prone on the mat. Triple H vowed to pedigree Batista before the night was over.Triple H climbed out of the ring and then hit a pedigree on Rosey outside the ring as JR said that Batista just got a glimpse of his future. He then walked up the ramp to tremendous heat. ****Commercial****Chris Benoit was in the back congratulating Batista in the back before Chris Masters' music hit the arena. A video was then shown of Masters beating the hell out of people with his patented master lock. Chris Masters v. Seth Skyfire Masters powered Skyfire all over the ring, throwing him from corner to corner. Skyfire then fought back but was spiked with a double sledge by Master's and thrown into the master lock amid a slew of 'boring' chants. Winner: Chris MastersAfter the mic Masters got on the mic and issued an 'open challenge' to anyone who thought they could break his 'master lock' full nelson. He will be putting $1,000 of his own money on the line.A video package then ran covering the confrontation between Shawn Michaels and Mohammed Hassan last week. JR and King put over the Hassan-HBK match NEXT!****commercial****Over the break, a commercial aired for the 2005 Raw Diva search.Shawn Michaels v.DaivariHassan and Daivari grabbed the mic and ranted for a few minutes. Michaels interrupted and went on the offensive immediately.. Daivari jumped Michaels from behind and dropped his neck over the top rope. Daivari then went to the top turnbuckle and landed a leg drop and a cover for a two count. Michaels eventually came back and started to chop Daivari in the corner He went to the top rope, but Hassan grabbed onto HBK's leg. Michaels slung Hassan into the ring and landed some punches on him as the referee tried to break everything up. Daivari then brought in the ring bell from the outside but had it yanked out of his hands by the official. While this was going on, Hassan sneaked up behind HBK and hit him with a low blow, allowing Daivari to score the pinfall for the victory WINNER: Mohammed Hassan and Daivari via pinfallJR said Hassan's win was one of the greatest upsets in the history of Raw. As he said it "hell froze over"****Commercial*****When we came back from break Michaels was with Eric Bischoff and demanded a rematch against the two. Bischoff said 'not so fast' that he needed to get a partner. Highlight Reel with Chris JerichoJericho introduced the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Shelton Benjamin as his guest tonight. He addressed Shelton Benjamin, saying he had something to say to his face. Shelton then walked out. Jericho said that he wanted to get the intercontinental championship back. Shelton sort of walked away but then turned and told him he had his shot last week and lost. Shelton put over the fact that he's had the belt for six months and that there's a reason he's held it that long. He also said he was the best pure athlete in the WWE. Jericho then insulted Shelton for holding the title for six whole months. "I supposed we ought to start making the Hall of Fame plaque for you right now, huh Shelty." Shelton then came back saying that he was a better pure athlete then anyone in the WWE.. Jericho then asked Benjamin if he can shove the belt up his ass. Shelton said he's not sure, but he can use his fist to create more hits than the last Fozzy album. Jericho asked if he heard of their latest song, "Shelton is a Bitch." They got in a shoving match, which led the two into a brawl which after a brief scuffle, was broken up by the officials.*****Commercial*****Kane was in the back apparently still looking for Trish Stratus. He walked into a room and saw Lita in there, on a crutch. Lita asked Kane if he 'did it'. He said he did and that Trish was scared to death. Lita said they were just getting started.Michaels came out to the stage area and announced that he was told that if he wants to face Hassan at Backlash, he had to get a tag team partner. HBK said that the feud got him thinking about his country. He put over his father who volunteered for Vietnam, and said he understood why his brother was in the first Persian Gulf War. He said he understood why his nephew went to Iraq for a second tour. He got on his knees and asked a favor of someone who he said loves America as much as he does to come back for 'one more match'. That person is Hulk Hogan.Edge was shown backstage before the show went to commercial.****Commercial****Chris Benoit v. Christian w/ Tyson TomkoEdge was with Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross in the commentary booth for most of the match. For the first part of the match, Christian worked over Benoit's arm, which was a play on Benoit's Wrestlemania 21 'injury'. Most of the match was fairly ignored, at least from my television, as I had a ton of shots of Edge at the commentating booth. He talked constantly about being screwed and had his money in the bank briefcase with him. ****Commercial****Christian was playing the frantic 'do anything to win' heel here, and eventually ended up biting Benoit's hand. Eventually, Christian got caught in the sharpshooter and managed to escape. Benoit hit a series of germans after that, but missed his patented flying headbutt. Tomko and Edge interfered and allowed Christian to score the pinfall victory.Winner: Christian via pinfallJR put over the fact that the interview with Batista was next as we go to another break.****commercial****We came back to JR standing in the ring as he introduced the World Heavyweight Champion, Batista who came out to a good pop. Batista talked about Triple H saying he wanted to pedigree him earlier in the night. He said he was all set in his gear just so it was 'easier for him'. When asked about the rematch he said he wasn't worried at all. He talked about knowing that he would be the guy everyone was after as soon as he won the World Championship, but he refused to be anyone's 'victim'. He put over the fact that he's the man now and just as much a carnivore as the rest of the guys on the roster. He said if anyone thought about trying to take his title, that he could 'chew them up, spit them out and enjoy doing it'. He said that if Triple H was looking in his eyes and seeing feat he wondered if Triple H was just seeing a reflection of himself. He said he would never be a ten-time world champ, only a one-time world champion and that he wouldn't lose the strap. Batista then soaked up some feint cheers when Hunter's music hit the ring. Batista stood in the ring and was blindsided by Triple H who tried to hit him with a quickly loaded pedigree. Batista countered with a back body drop over the top rope. Hunter stumbled backwards looking on at the ring while JR held up Batista's hand and pointed at Triple H. Triple H grabbed the mic and said he was going to face JR next week on Raw. The show ended with JR definitely looking shaken.RAW THOUGHTSThe Good A couple of things caught my eyes tonight, but most notably, the good development of Backlash as a card. Right now it looks like we're looking at Batista-Triple H, Hogan/HBK- Hassan/Daivari, Benoit-Edge, and Shelton-Jericho. I was surprised that WWE creative, who's usually lacking in the build up department, made the most of their time tonight. Again nothing was super special about it, but it's a definite improvement over what we're used to. Edge's carrying that brief case around is a nice touch as well. Christian winning ANY way is good too. Christy showed some improvement in the ring.The Bad I don't know if it was just my time zone, or my satellite feed or whatever, but I seriously only got about five actual minutes of action during Benoit-Christian. I either got a choppy screen or a camera that was fixed on Edge in the commentating booth. It persisted pretty much entirely after that. Score one for WWE production! On to wrestling though, I'm admittedly under whelmed at the fact that we're not seeing a draft lottery yet. Yeah there was a rumor of it occurring next week, but there's certainly no hint of one right now. Granted they don't HAVE to do it now because they're still riding the post Wrestlemania wave of good will. However, it could also be a surprise. If there was a time to pull something out of their hat, it's now.The Ugly I couldn't believe the reaction Masters got. He was in the ring five minutes before the boring chants started. Not a good omen for the newcomer. I don't know what the deal is with Kane right now, but I hope he's not wrapped up in chasing Trish around more. The Kane-Lita-(insert third party) lame story line needs to stop quickly. And you thought it couldn't get any worse. Oh wait, it did. We're having another DIVA search this year. God help us all.Overall—B-- Nothing particularly knocked me on my rear tonight, but WWE creative gets kudos from me for making very effective use of their time.

529 college plan choices are all over the map
By Sandra Block and John Waggoner, USA TODAY
Ignited by a new federal tax exemption and summa cum
laude investment dreams, assets in wildly popular 529 college savings plans
are soaring. Nearly $200 billion is expected to flood in by 2007, up from a
projected $25 billion in 2002. But as families struggle to finance college educations,
an exclusive USA TODAY database analysis of 43 state 529 savings plans found
a confusing array of choices, high fees and arcane restrictions. Factor in investment
options that ranged from plain vanilla portfolios with minuscule returns to
aggressively managed mutual funds with overly high risk, and choosing the right
529 plan could mean the difference between affording a cut-rate community college
or a pricey Ivy League school.
"When I look at the fund companies behind some of these
plans and their overall lineup of funds, some are pretty poor," says Peter Di
Teresa, an analyst at Morningstar, which tracks mutual funds.
On paper, the tax-saving benefits of 529 plans make them
a great deal. The state-operated investment plans are designed to help families
save for college costs. As long as the plan satisfies a few basic requirements,
earnings grow free of federal taxes. Most also make withdrawals exempt from
state income taxes. And several give residents tax deductions on contributions.
And while the plans are aimed at parents, other relatives can provide up to
$100,000 a year exempt from federal gift and estate taxes.
But the benefits can be wiped out with poor investment
decisions, USA TODAY's analysis shows. A major trouble spot: the poor performance
of many plans sold by brokers and financial advisers. Such plans are grabbing
two-thirds of all money invested in 529 plans. Brokers and advisers, eager to
attract new clients, are aggressively marketing the plans' tax benefits to parents
and grandparents worried about the rising cost of college. "It's another arrow
in their quiver to sell their services, and it's a great one," says David Geracioti,
editor of Registered Rep magazine.
USA TODAY's analysis found that many plans sold by brokers
and financial advisers underperformed 529 plans that investors could purchase
on their own at little or no up-front cost.
USA TODAY ranked the plans using 12 criteria, including
investment performance, costs, fund choices, restrictions and flexibility. The
analysis found that in many cases, the smallest plans offered the best performance
for the lowest cost. Tennessee's direct-sold plan, for example, was one of the
top performers, even though it has less than $5 million in assets. Conversely,
some of the largest plans, such as those offered by Maine and Rhode Island,
earned below-average grades.
Among other findings:
On average, the sales charge on broker-sold plans is 3.5%,
Geracioti says. On $6,000 the average 529 plan investment that
reduces the amount invested by $210.
Worse, 529s purchased through financial advisers or brokers
typically carry higher management fees than plans directly offered by states.
For example, the Mercury Large-Cap Core fund, available under Arkansas' GIFT
College Investing Plan but only through advisers and brokerages if you're
a non-resident- charges 1.38% in annual expenses. The Vanguard funds offered
through Utah's direct-sold Educational Savings Plan charge less than 0.35% a
High-cost funds trouble William Urban, an independent investment
adviser from Menlo Park, Calif. "There's very little question that cost has
a huge impact on total returns," Urban says.
Moreover, some plans sold through brokerages and advisers
charge higher expenses to investors who sell after holding the account only
a few years.
Ohio's plan offers Putnam New Opportunities, which has
lagged 72% of similar funds the past five years.
Seligman High-Yield Bond, part of North Carolina's College
Vision Fund, ranks in the bottom 10% of all high-yield funds over the past five
Some families are optimistic they'll recover their losses
by the time their children reach college.
"You can't make yourself crazy," says Laurie Gould Wong
of Fort Washington, Pa., who has invested in Rhode Island's CollegeBoundfund
plan for sons David, 9, and Michael, 13. "You have to believe this is for the
long run, and we've got a few years until college."
At the same time, market-savvy investors may find some
plans overly conservative. Most are "age-based" portfolios that invest primarily
in stocks when beneficiaries are young, then shift to a more conservative mix
of bonds and cash as children approach college age.
The good news: States are adding a mix of plans to meet
a variety of investment styles. The College Savings Plan of Nebraska, for example,
now offers four age-based investment portfolios. New York's plan boasts an aggressive
age-based portfolio, but it is just 60% invested in stocks when beneficiaries
are 10, reducing the risk of investment losses as the child nears college.
Too many choices
The rapid growth in plan choices, along with a growing
menu of investment options, can be bewildering. Ohio's CollegeAdvantage plan
offers 14 investment options, ranging from a CD-like option to an aggressive
all-stock portfolio. Families can add additional options to customize their
own portfolio. Rhode Island's CollegeBound plan offers 15 investment choices.
"My sister called me, and we spent an hour and a half on
the phone going through what a 529 plan is," says Michael Murray, national markets
director for American Skandia, which manages Nevada's plan with Strong Investments.
"And she's an intelligent woman who spends a lot of time with financial planners."
The good news is that if you find you're unhappy, new rules
make it much easier to shift from one state's plan to another. In the past,
that was allowed only when changing the beneficiary of the account. Now, you
can move money as often as once a year for any reason without triggering tax
penalties. Yet some plans place their own restrictions on withdrawals.
Utah's Educational Savings Plan requires participants to
forfeit all investment gains if a non-college withdrawal is taken within two
years of opening an account. New York's plan imposes a 10% penalty on earnings
if the money is withdrawn within three years of opening an account, even if
it's used for college expenses.
Downplaying deductions?
Meanwhile, critics are taking aim at financial advisers
and brokerages that continue to push fee-generating plans over in-state plans
that provide tax breaks.
About two-thirds of all money stashed in 529s is being
routed by financial advisers, who earn commissions on the sale. States now are
asking industry regulators to require them to talk about the potential advantages
of in-state plans like Virginia's, which offers up to $2,000 in annual tax deductions
on contributions.
"At best, many advisers downplay the value of the state
tax deduction," says Diana Cantor, executive director of the Virginia College
Savings Plan. "We found that many Virginia families are being encouraged by
financial advisers to participate in other state programs." In many cases, "They
weren't being told they would lose out on state tax advantages."
Investment advisers counter that in many cases, tax deductions
won't compensate for poorly managed plans. A $2,000 deductible contribution
in a state with a 5% tax rate provides savings of just $100 a year, says Craig
Brimhall, a personal finance expert for American Express Financial Advisers.
And brokers argue that the advice they give is worth the
extra money. Pat Gault of Louisville invested in Rhode Island's 529 plan through
Larry Glazer, a Boston-based adviser who specializes in 529 plans. Gault says
Glazer's recommendation to dollar-cost-average his 529 plan investment limited
his losses in 2001.
Geracioti says reputable advisers help clients choose the
plan that suits their needs, not the one that delivers the largest commission.
"They have a fiduciary responsibility to put their clients
in what's best for them," he says.
Still, investors should ask advisers how they're compensated,
and why they're recommending one plan over another. "Because financial services
are so complicated, the first conversation should be about how they get paid,"
Geracioti says.
Even the best-intentioned advisers may not understand all
the nuances of 529 plans.
Joseph Hurley, author of The Best Way to Save for College,
says financial firms are working furiously to educate advisers and brokers about
the plans.
"On the learning curve, some brokers are very low, and
others are climbing rapidly," says Hurley, CEO of Savingforcollege.com, a Pittsford,
N.Y., consulting firm that specializes in researching 529 plans.
Hurley advises investors to ask advisers and brokers whether
they have a 529 plan for their own children. "That's one of the best ways to
be educated," he says. "I recommend it to brokers, too if you're going
to be advising others, I recommend opening your own account."
Bruce Hammond, college adviser for iVillage.com and a high
school counselor, has a 529 plan for his family and often recommends them to
parents. But he says the plans should represent just one slice of a family's
college savings portfolio, not the entire pie.
"This looks like a great deal, but don't get euphoric about
it," he says. "We've seen what irrational exuberance can do."

Beautiful car, good luck with your sale.

ACS Festival de Química
The "Festival de Química" or Chemistry Festival, is a community event that unites efforts of hundreds of volunteers whom through simple interactive demos (hands-on activities), emphasize the importance of chemistry in our everyday life. This activity is designed for the public in general, especially children, to educate about chemical concepts, while communicates the value and impact of chemistry in daily lives.
In Puerto Rico, where everything started in 2005, these events have joined the efforts of many volunteers from the ACS student chapters, public and private institutions, "Sociedad de Estudiantes Graduados de la UPR-RP, PR - Young Chemist Committee and the Women Committee, Science on Wheels and ChemClubs of different schools. The Festival is certainly an event where the Puerto Rican volunteers wear their commitment and passion for demonstrating the value of chemistry in our lives and that is already exported to other Nations.
For many years, Puerto Rico has been an amazing host to this incredible volunteer effort. In 2013, a remarkable record was reported; with the addition of festivals in Colombia, Chile and the two festivals held in Puerto Rico (CCED in April and NCW in October), it is estimated that more than 775 volunteers managed to impact 14,750 members of the community during 2013 alone.
The Festival de Química concept has grown into an ACS-packaged training and demonstration module for local chemistry communities all over the world. By engaging, training, and recognizing ACS members and local chemists as festival volunteers and Chemistry Ambassadors, ACS empowers organizers to continue doing outreach activities in their own communities. Since 2010, the Festival de Química has grown tremendously and there have been 20 festivals with nearly 2,400 volunteers trained and 29,000 attendees.
We expanded the program to include Festival Training Institutes (FTIs) where we teach delegations from neighboring nations to host Chemistry Festivals in their home towns. We hope to help every International Chemical Sciences Chapter hold a Festival by the end of 2018. Read more about this program.
