AYSO is an all-volunteer organization – we receive no public funds and all of our expenses are paid from the registration fees of the children who play. We expect all parents to participate in a volunteer role. AYSO is an organization devoted to child development in a soccer environment that is safe, fair, and fun. The kids are the focus of our program, and the program depends on the efforts of all involved adults for its success. We require that as a Parent, Coach, Referee, Volunteer or Casual Observer you maintain a positive attitude when dealing with the children under all circumstances without exceptions. This also includes your attitude when dealing with other parents in the presence of children. Understand that we maintain a 'zero-tolerance' stand on 'abusive behavior' and violators will be suspended for one full year without appeal or exception.
Please read and abide by the AYSO Kids Zone Parent Pledge (downloadble pdf) for the benefit of our soccer community.
Region 20 is run for our kids by parents and other dedicated volunteers like you. Unlike other youth sport organizations, AYSO has no paid staff on the local (regional) level. All Board Members, Coaches, Referees and support staff contribute their time without monetary compensation. And our registration fees reflect that. Because of this regulation, we must limit the number of players and playing opportunities to match the number of volunteers. Quite literally, it requires one volunteer at each level for every child in the program. Parents who try to enroll their children without a volunteer commitment constitute a burden on other parents and may jeopardize the program. There is always work to be done.
We offer free training and clinics for all aspects of volunteer help. Among the many ways to get involved are:
* Coach / Assistant Coach
* Team Manager
* Referee
* Youth Referee
* Division Administrative position (help from home!)
* Regional Board position (the big picture volunteer)
* Practice Chaperone
* Field Maintenance & Equipment
Let us know how you want to help by simply contacting us at email@example.com
Santa Monica AYSO Region 20 is a non-profit, all volunteer organization. We receive no public funds and all of our expenses are paid from the registration fees of the children who play. As such, we rely on the generosity of individuals to provide financial assistance to qualifying needy families, who would otherwise be unable to participate. A significant number of our families are at or below the poverty line. We keep our fees as low as possible in hopes that those who can afford more will contribute. These funds help us promote and reinforce the environment for which we strive to provide! $10-$20-$50-$100-$500-$1,000 or more, Santa Monica AYSO Region 20 needs your financial generosity. Every $100 we receive, lets a needy player play. You may donate via credit card during the registration process, donate now via credit card, or mail a check to our mailing address. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent permissible by law.
No, there is no individual fundraising requested of our families. But the one fundraising event of the year is Soccer Fun Day. Soccer Fun Day is our day of celebrating the new soccer season, as well as our team Picture Day. Mark your calendar now for Soccer Fun Day, typically held around the first Sunday of October. The exact date is posted in July.
All volunteers are assigned one AYSO ID number for their career with AYSO, even if you originally registered with a different AYSO region.
You will be asked for your AYSO ID number in the following situations:
- When setting up your Family Profile in SM AYSO Registration (aka InLeague).
- When updating your annual Volunteer Registration with AYSO National (eAYSO).
- When taking any online course with AYSO National, i.e., Safe Haven, Referee Training, Coach Training, etc.
If you already have an AYSO ID number, you will need to activate it annually. (See Volunteer Registration & Certification)
If you have forgotten your AYSO ID number, log into www.eayso.org.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/9/2013 (1450 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger said Monday he's hopeful a final deal to transfer responsibility of the Experimental Lakes Area to the Winnipeg-based International Institute for Sustainable Development will be forthcoming in about half a year.
But in the meantime, Manitoba and Ontario have stepped forward with interim funding as part of their plan to keep the world-renowned water research facility open until a final arrangement materializes.
Selinger and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne jointly announced Monday their separate funding plans for the ELA in Kenora.
"Clean water is a big part of our future," Selinger told the Free Press, adding research conducted at the ELA has had "enormous benefits" for the science community in general and would continue to do so in the future.
"Potentially the benefits of this research get shared around the world."
The remote region has been used since 1968 for fundamental freshwater studies.
Manitoba's pledge to the IISD is a funding deal worth more than $6 million over five years, with $900,000 dedicated toward research and technological advancements at the ELA.
Wynne's plan involves Ontario spending $2 million a year to keep the ELA open on an interim basis as a long-term deal over its future gets hammered out.
Ottawa announced last year that it was closing the area to save $2 million annually.
Arriving at a final deal involves the federal government's fisheries ministry negotiating what to do about infrastructure and any cleanup of past experiments at the site, which is comprised of 58 small freshwater lakes and drainages.
"That's one of the final hurdles," Selinger said. He was optimistic the collaborative approach to the ELA's future would reap benefits and result in a final deal in six to seven month's time.
"Everybody's talking now," he said.
The transitional arrangement between the three parties means that fish and water monitoring of the lakes will continue to the end of the 2013 field season. It also means that operational and scientific knowledge will be effectively passed on to the IISD, Wynne said in a statement.
"Today is a good day for science," IISD president Scott Vaughan said.
"We are pleased to have reached an interim agreement that ensures the important scientific research at the Experimental Lakes Area will continue to inform Canada and the world and will continue to provide valuable scientific knowledge critical to manage freshwater resources in a sustainable way."
Wynne, meanwhile, said the investment would help make Ontario a world-class destination for scientific research.
"The research performed here provides invaluable knowledge about climate change and helps protect freshwater systems around the world," she said.

Police were called to the scene near Cromwells Indian Restaurant at about 8.30am involving a red Mazda 323 and a moped driven by a man thought to be in his late teens.
The Ambulance service also attended and treated the rider for wrist and shoulder injuries before taking him to Worcestershire Royal Hospital for further treatment.
There were no reports of injuries to the car driver.
The road was blocked while police and paramedics dealt with the incident but was reopened at 8.55am.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Florida avocado grower-shippers are looking forward to another normal season.
They expect some shipments to begin in small volumes in mid- and late May, but most growers plan to start in earnest in early to mid-June. Volumes build until promotable volume typically begins in early July.
Brooks Tropicals Inc. plans to start harvesting the early donnie variety in mid-June.
Bill Brindle, vice president of sales management, said the overall industry expects to pack 1.1 million 55-pound bushels, similar to last year.
He said that's the industry's best early guess.
"If that prediction is accurate, this will be our third year in a row that we will have a good crop," Brindle said in early May.
"Like in 2011, we had a good crop in 2012 with good timing and good volume. Once we get into July, we will have good volumes through September. Some of our retail customers will promote for literally 12 weeks during that window."
Brindle said retailers can also expect the season to bring high-quality fruit that yields a variety of sizes.
Brooks expects to pack around 500,000 bushels this year, Brindle said.
New Limeco LLC in Princeton plans to begin harvesting in early June.
Eddie Caram, general manager, agrees that the season should be strong.
"It looks pretty decent," he said in late April. "Some say some of the early varieties, the donnies, look to be a little less. Some groves are a little lighter than last year, but it's hard to estimate (this early). We still haven't gone through May, when we could have some small fruit drop around June 1."
New Limeco plans to pack 270,000 bushels, similar to last year, Caram said.
M&M Farm Inc., Miami, is set to begin harvesting in mid-May but growers won't bring promotable volume until early to mid-July, said Manny Hevia Jr., president and chief executive officer.
"It's still a little early to know, but based on what's out there, this should be an average year," Hevia said in late April.
"It's pretty encouraging that this season looks like things will be status quo."
Because shipments had not begun, the U.S. Department of Agriculture wasn't reporting Florida prices in early May.
Last season in mid-June, Florida's deal began at $13 for one-layer 12.5-pound flats of size 8-12s, according to the USDA.
According to the Florida Avocado Administrative Committee, Florida's 7,500 acres in 2012-13 produced 1.16 million bushels, higher than the 819,594 bushel average growers produced 2006-10.

Sony Ericsson K850 ReviewSony Ericsson K850
We are disappointed by the Sony Ericsson K850 and how it performs as a camera. Really, considering it is the top Cyber-shot branded phone, it should be one of the best on the market, but the comparison with the old N95 and the G600 shows different things. As the K810, the K850 has its strong flash, but probably due to wrong algorithm delivers colorless images. Having in mind the upcoming cameraphones from other brands, we are not sure the K850 will be able to stay competitive. Although it has a few good features, thanks to the new UI of the manufacturer, it isn't as powerful as the smartphone N95 or the multimedia-device Viewty and its only advantage over the others is the tri-band HSDPA.
- The camera has lots of features
- The new generation UI
- Camera quality doesn't meet the expectations

Thnks for the review .. but here i want to say some thing .. 1.) This phone has got a new platform ie a200 which is very advanced .. 2.)the firmware currently is not that stable and camera wise also its not the perfect.. and Jan 08 is when new firwmware is going to be released... 3.)UI is awesome and especially it comes with MegaBAss which is only found in W series.. So get the phone and just be patient for the new firmware release in jan.. and please do conduct a cam test then .. K850 will win every phone outthere in 5MP segment... happy new year

give complete review?
3. nick (unregistered)
i was just wondering where i would find the firmware for this phone and also, if it's not too inconvenient, can someone explain to me the process of getting music/pictures/themes onto the phone? and how to get the pictures/videos uploaded to my computer?
4. (unregistered)
kindly update this review.. this model has been changed a bit.. get a new one and try it.. you are giving the k850 a bad name..
5. Mr J (unregistered)
I have had the K850 since early december and I am now on to my third handset. The phone seems to have seriosuly dodgy firmware which when it decides to crash, it turns the phone in to a nice paper weight. Unless you have the right kit to be able to complete a full firmware flash, you have to send it back to your service provider for repair. I have also suffered numerous software crashes on the phone, it turns it's self off ever now and then and when it does come back on, it does not ask for any security codes. Not a big issue I agree, but what the hell is it doing if not a full restart? Surely it should be as if the phone has just been turned on.... There was a newer version firmware released maybe 2 months ago which I applied to the phone in the hope that it would cure the problems, it didn't and I have only just received the handset back from my service provider for the second time, minus the battery....so I still don't know if the handset is working properly. BTW, I am in the UK and on the 3 network......stay clear!!

Please Please Please, Save yourself of all the trouble by not buying one of these. I have been using a K850i for 12 months now and my 4th replacement handset has just broken, again! Nice features of the phone but generally runs slowly and crashes a lot and from my experience needs replacing with a new/replacement handset every 2-3months. All the problems were still occuring with this phone even after several firmware updates from sony ericcson's website.
7. snipe (unregistered)
i don't know, i'm happy of my k850i.. it's ain't crash (mayby just 1 time), a little laggy (but rare cell phone don't lag..) but everything else just working fine.

Welcome to a live blog of George Entwistle's appearance in front of the Commons culture, media and sport committee to answer questions about the Jimmy Savile scandal. Mr Entwistle will be answering questions about why Newsnight dropped an investigation, featuring witnesses who had not spoken to the police, into whether Jimmy Savile molested vulnerable young girls at a young offenders' home as well as broader questions about the entertainer's alleged abuse of minors on the BBC's property in the 1970s and 80s.
12.36: That's it for the MPs, with Entwistle taking a battering over failures in the system of decision making and his own command of the facts. The independence of BBC journalism and the hierarchical nature of the organisation seemed to frustrate the committee. The DG seemed to make life very difficult for Peter Rippon, the man who made the decision to drop the investigation, but there is still an inquiry going on into that which now seems a long way off – six weeks. Calling Rippon must surely be a next and necessary step for the committee.
12.34: Entwistle says the Pollard review into the Newsnight decision to drop the inquiry could take six weeks. Ben Bradshaw calls that "absurd" and says he must get a grip on the information. Read more

Alastair Cook knows he is the "right guy" to continue as England captain - because two of his trusted team-mates have told him so.
England's Test and one-day international captain, set to lead his team out in Aberdeen in the 50-over format against Scotland on Friday, did no small amount of soul-searching after last winter's Ashes campaign went so badly wrong.
Other central figures in a previously successful regime have left their posts.
But Cook, such a binding force at the top of the order, is back for more in both roles at the start of a summer in which he and returning head coach Peter Moores must quickly rediscover a winning formula.
As he reflected on England's 5-0 drubbing in Australia, and the 4-1 ODI defeat which followed, Cook sought others' advice - and what came his way from Twenty20 captain Stuart Broad and his club-and-country team-mate Ravi Bopara settled any doubts.
"It's a huge honour to be captain of your national side," he said.
"It's a huge privilege and makes you feel very special - and you want to continue that.
"But you've got to be the best man for the job.
"When you're losing games of cricket you can doubt yourself.
"But I chatted a lot to Stuart Broad and Ravi in particular, and they said 'You must carry on, you're the right guy'.
"It's nice to hear that."
Cook did contemplate a resignation, but decided - less than two years into his captaincy, and with a series success in India and home Ashes victory also under his belt - he should continue.
"After a long, gruelling winter, I certainly gave it consideration - and I would have been wrong if I hadn't," he said.
"We lost a lot of games of cricket; we hadn't played to the standard that side were capable of, and the stuff we were doing wasn't making a difference.
"If you don't question yourself as a leader then, you never will."
There was, however, a steadfast union of backing behind him - led by the England and Wales Cricket Board's new managing director Paul Downton.
"It was great that a lot of members of the side were very supportive, and ECB and Paul Downton have backed me.
"I've got to repay that faith with good performances."
England have parted company, in the past three months, with a clutch of staff on and off the field - and the period of backroom renewal is not quite complete.
"We're still in the process, and it will get resolved pretty soon," said Cook.
Their opponents are also in a transitional phase, and will be watched at Mannofield by new coach Grant Bradburn.
The New Zealander is yet to officially take up the role, with acting incumbent Craig Wright set to become his assistant in July.
Kyle Coetzer's hosts therefore know they have an early opportunity to impress, as Scotland build for next year's World Cup - in which they will face, among others, England.
"The guys who play (here) will have the first crack at putting their hands up for the squad for next winter," said Wright.

Hi friends,
I want to ask that is sitemap in any way helpful in promoting a portal. I have news portal in Indian language on WordPress and wherever i go to get my portal developed in php they always ask me that do your website have a sitemap. I want to know that how a sitemap is helpful in promoting a portal. Is it really necessary that my portal have a sitemap or its just a new money-sucking thing which is too much highlighted by the developers. Please help.
Well sitemap is very useful for every site because it helps google to crawl your webpages faster which will index your pages faster.
Yes sitemap is very helpful to promote your site.
Sitemap helps google to find new updates of our site. Your site is being crawl through sitemap faster and helps in indexing well.
Yes ,sitemap is very useful ,Because it is useful for Google crawling of your website and also , it is helpful for customer to easy browse in your site .
Lot of positive responses in just the first few hours, thanks members. Now let's be sure to add additional thoughts or discussion from here on in, no sense in repeating things again!
Actually, I am just curious why all are talking a lot about sitemaps and its uses, all of a sudden, while there are lot of other stuffs to discuss.
First of all, Sitemap is not a necessary component on a website, when you have proper navigation allocated for your users. Never do something specific to search engines, just make the website user friendly and it obviously helps search engines too. Make sure your internal linking strategies are proper and in place.
Presumably the content on a portal is far bigger than what navigation will support on its own.
Thus rather than assuming search engines can make it through say thousands of sub-page links people revert to sitemaps to help inform the engines of their pages. Clearly this poses no benefit to the user and will not be the same as a natural link flow but there's a reason why engines have gone to the trouble of accepting sitemaps in the first place.
Yes , of course sitemap is very very important. Because it is useful for Google crawling of your website.

By Derek Brown, NFTE Marketing & Communications
I don't know about you but I can always use an extra five minutes to complete a task or even an hour to wrap up everything I set out to complete in a day-- including this post.
How can you find time as an entrepreneur to be more productive? By design entrepreneurs have a plethora of roles to fulfill. What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast is a book I just read that has me constantly thinking about how I use my time. Specific changes to my routine haven't become habit. However, I'm now constantly aware of how I use my time and that's a start.
Laura Vanderkam, the author, says successful people are at their prime in the morning. Harnessing this power is what can drive your entire day. Take control instead of rolling over in bed, reading email, or losing yourself in a shower. Exercise, meditate or enjoy breakfast with your family are some of the suggested means to focus your priorities for the day.
|"The best morning rituals are activities that, when practiced regularly, result in long-term benefits."
Vanderkam uses scientific studies to make her point and real-life subjects who have improved their productivity. She also provides examples of über busy business types who use the morning to set the stage for their day with a combination of prayer, reading or fitness routines.
How can you improve your morning routine and become more productive through the day? For me, it's less random browsing of the web. Try it out by tracking your time in the spreadsheet that's available at on Laura Vanderkam's website.


text: "... Sarkozy's statements agreeing with what creationists and the opponents of secularism have been saying came as a great surprise to me. In their eyes, the reason for the evils of the 20th century is that people turned their backs on religion. The evidence? People who turned their backs on the Creator turned into animals behaving in conformity with Darwin's theory. If someone is taught that he is descended from a lower order of animal and is given no religious instruction, then this leads to all kinds of disasters. For that reason, evolution must be removed from the education syllabus… The media were largely unconcerned by Islamic creationist movements. Until, that is, the Turkish writer Harun Yahya's Atlas of Creation reached thousands of people. Then, there was literally complete panic, because A BOOK FROM A MUSLIM COUNTRY HAD FALLEN LIKE A ROCK INTO THE SEA OF REALITIES…"

LAFAYETTE — A 3-year-old boy who was found dead Thursday appeared to have been the victim of severe abuse, according to affidavits filed by investigators to support the arrest of the child's mother and her boyfriend.
The boyfriend, Landon C. Broussard, 21, was booked late Thursday on one count of first-degree murder in the death of Julian Madera.
The boy's mother, Laura D. Smith, 22, was booked on a count of principal to first-degree murder.
Lafayette Parish sheriff's deputies received a 911 call at 10:22 a.m. Thursday reporting that a child was unresponsive at the home of Broussard's grandmother in the 3700 block of Kaliste Saloom Road.
Broussard had arrived there a short time earlier carrying the naked and lifeless body of the young boy, according to the affidavit filed by investigators to secure a warrant for Broussard's arrest.
The grandmother called 911, but first responders were unable to revive the child, who was pronounced dead after being transported to Women's and Children's Hospital nearby, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The affidavit states that the 3-year-old had suffered blunt force trauma to several areas of his body, his eyes were swollen shut, one of his ears was torn and his body was covered in several bruises old and new.
The Coroner's Office had yet to determine the exact cause of death as of Friday afternoon and additional testing is expected, said Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. Kip Judice.
Broussard told his grandmother that he found the boy unresponsive in the bathtub Thursday morning and that a door had fallen on him the night before, according to the affidavit.
Investigators wrote in the affidavit that Broussard's story was not "consistent with the injuries observed."
A search of the home where the boy had been living turned up drops of what appeared to be blood in his bedroom and a bathroom, according to the affidavit.
Authorities do not allege that the mother played an active role in the abuse, but she faces charges for allegedly not trying to stop it.
The mother told detectives that she had been abused by Broussard and that she had seen him abuse her son, including forcing him to eat feces, but was afraid to seek help, according to the affidavit filed to support her arrest.
"The suspect (Smith) had several opportunities while she was away from her boyfriend at school to seek aid for her child but did not," investigators wrote in the affidavit. "The victim instead repeatedly left her son in her boyfriend's care while she attended class."
Broussard is being held in the Lafayette Parish Correction Center without bail.
Smith's bail was set at $500,000.
She was in tears when answering routine questions about her address and birth date during a brief court appearance Friday morning.
"Hold on, Mrs. Smith. It's too late to cry," said 15th Judicial District Court Commissioner Thomas Frederick.
Both Smith and Broussard told Frederick that they could not afford an attorney.
He referred their cases to the 15th Judicial District Public Defenders Office.

For a transcript of a panel discussion on the art and architecture of Caldwell Chapel, select the following link:
Art & Soul Presentation - March 9, 2003
Designed by architects Hartstern, Louis and Henry, the chapel was constructed under one major directive given by the 1962 Seminary Building Committee, that it "must be the dominant symbol on the new campus to clearly show that this is a theological seminary dedicated to the worship and service of God." The chapel crowns the campus like a jewel.
Built in the style of "Modern interpretation of Perpendicular Gothic," the chapel's exterior is also graced by a 65-foot campanile with an electronic carillon. Traditional and contemporary symbols of faith are blended together within the chapel. Its beautiful stained glass windows were designed by William Schickel of Loveland, Ohio.
On October 11, 1963, the chapel, along with the Seminary's new campus and eight buildings, was dedicated. Then, in 1964, The Board of Directors of Louisville Seminary named the chapel in honor of Frank H. and Fannie W. Caldwell as "evidence of the Seminary's love and deep appreciation for all that the Caldwells had done for the institution." Dr. Caldwell was Louisville Seminary's fourth president (1936-1964) and Professor Emeritus of Homiletics (1930-1964).
In 1985, the Roger Wood Puckett Organ was constructed for the Frank H. Caldwell Chapel by the Louisville firm, Steiner-Reck, Inc., through the generosity of local businessman Roger Wood Puckett. Designed in the historical tracker fashion, the organ has a mechanical connection between the keyboard and its more than 2000 pipes. The organ has 34 stops. Mr. Puckett's gift remains a lasting contribution to worship through music at Louisville Seminary Back to Top

BOSS Steve Cuss called for more of the same from his Wimborne charges ahead of tonight's home match against Yate – despite a dispiriting dip in form.
Magpies suffered a sixth defeat in seven Southern South & West matches against second-placed Cirencester on Saturday, but Cuss felt the Cuthbury outfit had performed well against their high-flying rivals.
And with another play-off contender swiftly emerging on the horizon, the manager remained confident Wimborne could halt their slide while playing host to another Gloucestershire-based frontrunner (7.45).
"If we can reproduce that consistency in performance then the results will come," said Cuss.
"If we can replicate Saturday's performance against Yate then I'm hopeful we will get something out of the game."
Frontman James Stokoe, who was withdrawn from a central-midfield role after picking up an ankle knock against Cirencester, could be a doubt for Magpies but Ollie Phillipson-Masters may make his long-awaited return.
Magpies: (from) Harvell, Arnold, Oliver, Maybury, Costello, Blake, Webb, Kemble, Stokoe, Burton-Hemmings, Gamble, Griffin, Davidson, Phillipson-Masters, Grose, Roast.
- Dual-registered full-back Adam Flint, recalled by parent club Salisbury City at the weekend, should be available for Bashley's home match with Redditch United in the Southern League Premier Division (7.45).
Bash: (from) George, Strickland, Roberts, Ansell, Marden, Rolls, Bulpitt, Blackmore, Soetan, Brookes, Joyce, Odam, Kenna, Manders, Flint, Morris, Lloyd, Jones.
- Hamworthy United travel to Horndean in the Wessex League Premier Division.
Rookie striker Alex Martin (unavailable) misses out but manager Graham Kemp has the rest of his squad to call upon.
Hammers: (from) Ackerman, Biles, Hester, Brian, Haysom, Corby, Diaper, Hubbard, Rowe, Cole, Allen, Osborne, Sturgess, Penny, Cook, Legg, Walker, Thomas.

Chevrolet Silverado High Country features MyLink
May 6, 2013 by John Day
Chevrolet has unveiled a new high-end pickup, the 2014 Silverado High Country.
It has a chrome grille with horizontal bars, halogen projector headlamps, body-color front and rear bumpers, 20-inch chrome wheels, all-season tires, and chrome body side moldings, door handles and mirrors.
Park assist
Inside, Silverado High Country has a saddle brown interior and heated and cooled perforated premium leather front bucket seats with High Country logos on the headrests. It also features front and rear park assist. According to Chevrolet, "Small business drives the economy and pickup trucks drive small business."
James Bell, GM's head of consumer affairs, says full-size pickup trucks today are designed to deliver the features new truck owners are looking for, including state-of-the-art technologies, connectivity solutions and comfortable interiors.
"In many ways the pickup truck market has eclipsed what you find in cars these days since so many trucks are used as mobile offices," he says, noting that the Silverado High Country features MyLink and "seamlessly integrates an owner's cell phone, iPad and laptop." The truck has a 110V outlet for plugging-in a laptop, plus a cradle designed to accommodate an iPad.
"There's a nice level of technology friendliness where you need it, so you don't have to go looking for it," adds Rebecca Lindland, a consultant with Rebel Three Media & Consulting. "Chevrolet has really stepped up to the plate for the high-end buyer."
Lindland notes that pickup trucks are used not just in rural and suburban areas but also in crowded cities where anyone can use help in parking a 12-foot vehicle.

The power of the authentic object is unsurpassed. This is
an educational tenant that is undeniable. Education
Collections has been a leader in the field for 20 years when it
comes to putting real museum objects in DMNS visitor's hands.
It is now time to take this leadership to the next level.
In July of 2010 we received an Institute of Museum and Library
Sciences Museums for America grant to understand our
collections better. We call it the Education Collections
Synthesis Project. For the last 20 years objects and
specimens have been added to the collection on a more-or-less ad
hoc basis. While all the additions to the collection have been done
under the auspices of our Registrar and Curators, the actual
content of the collections has largely gone unknown and unexplored,
translation: we don't know much about what is in the Education
Collections and what its full potential is.
This project will bring together the Scientific Expertise
of our Curators and the Educational Expertise of our Educators with
the Experience of the Collections Staff to discuss the contents of
the collection. By improving the intellectual control and
accessibility of the Education Collections and placing DMNS even
further at the forefront of how to bring Hands-On Science to our
many diverse audiences.
As we move through the collections during this 24-month
project, the Education Collections Department will be blogging and
posting images on this site about some of the cool stuff we're
finding in the collections as well as information we find out, so
check back here often and stay up to date on this exciting

I showed up here at the Museum to volunteer for the first time
in June of 2000. I had been at school for Geological
Engineering in Socorro, New Mexico, before that I had been living
in Miami, Florida. While in Miami, I worked in the
restoration of antique WWI and WWII aircraft at the now closed
Weeks Air Museum. I also spent a few weeks one summer in the
Bahamas working with lemon sharks in an effort to establish a
refuge in the Biminis. After trying may hand a multiple
majors in Socorro and building and racing a solar car from
Washington D.C. to Orlando, Florida, I transferred to the
Metropolitan State College of Denver where I majored in
Anthropology and minored in Environmental Land Management. It
was then that I began volunteering at DMNS. The area I
volunteered in was the first ever iteration of the Discovery Zone,
but after a few months, I switched to the Education Collections. In
2003, then Manager of the Education Collections, Jeff Stephenson
(now the Zoology Collections Manager), hired me as his assistant
manager. I also entered grad school that year at the
University of Denver, studying Anthropology with a focus on
Archaeology. My research was focused on a small hilltop
archaeological site on the Peruvian North Coast. Between 2004
and 2005 I ran a small excavation crew coupled with a field school
associated with the California Institute for Peruvian Studies out
of Berkley. One evening in July of 2005, I got an email in a
Lima internet café from Jeff Stephenson telling me that he had
accepted the position of Zoology Collections Manager here at the
Museum. This put me on track to become the Education
Collections Manager in 2006. In addition to my museum work, I tend
to enjoy a random assortment of things. I fence, and rock
climb. I'm a home brewer studying to become a certified beer
judge. I make cheese and have a coonhound and a black lab. I
backpack and car camp and have been known to attend renaissance
fairs and highland festivals. I play trumpet, french horn and
piano and am currently learning to sew. As once was one of our
mottos here at the then Denver Museum of Natural History, "So, Many
Adventures in One Place".
I came to the museum in 2004 when Quest for Immortality was here
at DMNS. I was still in college and my mother-in-law said I
should work in a place like this and that got me
thinking... I really wanted to be an Egyptologist, but with a
family of my own to think of, going off to Egypt every field season
wasn't very practical. I began to think working with
collections would be a great alternative path. I was
attending Metropolitan State College of Denver and in the process
of writing my own degree. So, I thought an internship would
be a great way to test the waters in the museum field. I
interned under Jeff Stephenson in the summer of 2005. I liked
working here so much, I stayed on as a volunteer after my
internship ended. I managed to work education,
non-profit administration and grant writing (along with history and
anthropology, of course) classes into my degree program which,
began the path towards a career in museums. In January of
2007, I was hired as the Assistant Manager of the Education
Collections. I now work with collections from
all the disciplines at the museum and with the
educators who bring these collections to you!
My road to the museum started in Lincoln, Nebraska long before I
knew the significance museums would have on my life. Morrill Hall
museum or "Elephant Hall" with its large elephant and mammoth
skeletons, endless diorama halls and planetarium always captured my
imagination. So I gravitated towards an Anthropology degree at
Colorado College, graduated and spent a couple of summers working
as an archaeological aide. I reluctantly parted ways with
Anthropology for several years while pursuing a temporary career at
IBM, most recently as a Project Manager. Feeling like something was
missing though, I began volunteering at the Denver Museum of Nature
in Science in June 2000, in the Education Collections department.
In 2003, I decided a life change was in order so I left IBM and
since 2004, I have happily spent my summers working as a park
ranger for the National Park Service, primarily at Mesa Verde
National Park (yes, I do use my Anthropology degree!), and my
winters volunteering in the museum's Education Collections
department. This past year, I eagerly accepted a position in the
DMNS Education Collections department and now enjoy endless diorama
halls on a full-time basis. When I'm not entering data for our
thousands of objects, you can find me outside where I'm often
hiking, mountain biking or gardening.
Having always been interested in art, I started my education at
the Rochester Institute of Technology, working towards a BFA in
fine art photography. I quickly realized that I liked looking at
other people's work much more than creating (or at least
displaying) my own, so I decided to pursue a Master's degree in Art
History and Museum Studies. While working towards that degree at
the University of Denver, I volunteered at many Denver museums,
including the DAM, the Museo de las Americas, Littleton Historical
Society, Aurora History Museum, Colorado Historical Society, and,
of course, DMNS. I started volunteering in Education Collections
shortly after a class tour of the storage room in 2010.
I realized that while art will always be a passion, my real
interest is in collections, what makes an object special enough to
be valued and saved in a museum collection, and how these objects
can be used to educate. Add to that a penchant towards
organization, and the Education Collection Synthesis Technician is
a perfect job!
Education Collections houses around 37,000 objects, making this one of the smaller collections at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. However, while we might be smaller, we have one very unique attribute -- you get to touch our objects and specimens. Ever touched a Great Blue Heron? A 120 million year old Triceratops horn? Well, here you can. The Museum believes in the power of the real, the power of the authentic object so we have made a commitment to you, our audience, that upon visiting the museum, or participating in a museum program you will get to touch and explore for yourself authentic museum objects. What do you have to do to get to do this? How do you get your hands on this awesome resource? Come to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and sign up for one of our programs.
Upon entering the Museum, you will find with what we call Touch Carts scattered throughout the Museum - each and every Touch Cart has specimens from Education Collections on it. These are facilitated by Museum Volunteers how will be able to tell you all about what is on the cart, answer any questions you may have about what is on the cart and point you to related areas within the Museum. In 2010, 676,757 Museum visitors touched and interacted with our specimens on Touch Carts!
In addition, our On-Site and Off-Site Programs use Education Collections objects and specimens to teach classes on certain subjects. Either, here at the Museum, or off-site at your school, we send collections every where we can. Our expert teaching staff develop unique, informal science education programs that incorporate Education Collections at the very foundation of their programming. In 2010, 123,622 children and chaperones used Education Collections in classes to explore the natural world!
We also bring out objects and specimens for special events like all the events for the Snowmastodon Project, programs called Scientists In Action broadcast to schools around the country allowing the students real time interaction with a scientist in the field, often thousands of Miles away. Many times local schools will visit the museum for these broadcasts and Education Collections are brought out for those as well. For new members to the museum, New Members Night, is a great way to see behind the scenes of the Education Collections. Likewise for Educators, our Educator's Night is a great way to meet the collections staff and learn about unique resources we are proud to offer our local community of educators.
Finally, the most dynamic of our responsibilities that is ALWAYS changing is preparing Touch Carts for our Temporary Exhibits. We work closely with our exhibit and Visitor Programs staff to develop and insert unique Touch Carts into every Temporary Exhibit. These Touch Carts are themed toward one component or storey of the exhibit and incorporate a huge hands-on experience into their teaching point.
These are all ways that YOU can get to touch, interact and explore collections at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. So, stop by today or signup for one of our programs and check it out and get your Hands on Science!
Welcome to the hands-on collection at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. These are authentic museum objects and part of the Museum's collections. What makes this collection unique and special is that that we have promised our community that they can interact with this collection on personal level. We encourage people of all ages to explore and discover the natural sciences through real, tangible experiences with our collections. Start your hands-on exploration of the world here on our website, stay up to date with our collections professionals on the Education Collections blog and then come Museum and interact with these collections in the exhibits!

The Crap We Missed – Tuesday 6.24.14
Welcome to Tuesday's The Crap We Missed where I could try to explain to you why you're looking at a naked boy with flashlight nipples or I could simply move on because now we all know what Michelle Rodriguez's vagina is truly capable of. You'll also find Tom Hardy with what I hope to God are just dental prostheses for a character, Panama Hugh Jackman, which no, sadly, is not is a gay sex euphemism yet, and a Kim v. Kourtney ass off where the loser is clearly all of us. One day our alien overlords will dig up the remains of these asses and conclude that our sudden infatuation with the bovine anus is what signaled the start of our downfall.

Best Uses
They included this in my cleaning package that I bought. I would never buy these. They are only meant for things that never have to be moved or something on a shelf that you dont want to scratch. Not inteneded for furniture as they are foam not felt.
Best Uses
These came in a floor care package, suppose to protect new floor from finish damage by furniture. pads did not stick to furniture; wood, metal, plastic.
The pads worked fine and did the job they were intended to do.
Best Uses
Texture is more rubbery than felt.
I would say that the pads are made out of rubber not FELT as package is labeled. Product is a good protector between furniture and flooring that you do not move. I purchased them for our kitchen chairs and they do not slide good on the flooring.
Keeps hardwood floor from being scratched.
They dont work on chairs that move. They keep moving and falling off so its useless. I have to go and buy some real felt. I bought tons of these to protect my floors, and its ok on furniture that does not move.. but obviously its the furniture that moves that will make the indents and lines into the floors. Definetely dont use on chairs that you sit on and move around. It flattens, moves and just does not stay and protect.
I got these at the store recommendations. I used them on my bookcase, dress and bed. The problem I had with them is after putting them on I went to move the dress a few inches back aggasit the wall. They peeled off the bottom. Same thing happen to my book case. I thought it was because I hadn't given them enough time to dry but with the book case I gave it more time before trying to put the book case aggaist the wall and same result.
Best Uses
So these items work great if the furnature isn't movable. I put these both on my couch and dining room chairs and the weight+movement on both caused the pads to rip. I would not purchase these again for those items but find somethine more durable to handle the weight and movement.
Best Uses
Great on light weight furniture. Good Price.
Not sutiable for heavy furniture, pads come off and furniture is hard to move on floors.
Service and delivery comments:
Picked up in store on rack.

These are the daily charts of the ten largest components of the Russell 2000 Index (posted in descending order by weighting). Rarely have I even seen such screamingly bearish patterns on nearly every top component in a major, diversified index such as this. Of course, these stocks are also extremely overbought on the daily, weekly and even monthly time frames. Personally, I'm expecting much more than the run-of-the-mill 3-5% pullback that most pundits on the street are calling for. As taking screen captures and annotating 10 chart takes a considerable amount of time, my notes on the charts are minimal but I believe that most of these patterns speak clearly.
Many of these charts have some horizontal or uptrend lines drawn below current prices which would act as downside targets, for those interested in shorting or even going long any of these stocks on a pullback (the former being my preference). Although some of the stock have just recently broken below support, typically a key uptrend line, many are still within the patterns with some towards the top of the patterns/trendlines (resistance) while others are close to the lower uptrend lines (support). Therefore, my short on the index at this time is what I refer to as an anticipatory trade (entering the trade early in anticipation of a likely breakdown). However, more conservative or conventional traders might choose to wait until the majority of these stocks have broken below the support levels shown on these charts before taking a full position.

(Opinion/Letter:) I can not thank our friend and neighbor William Willie Bond for plowing our road. The trustee refused to plow the south end of the road so we had no access to police, fire or ambulance service. My husband takes medication for high blood pressure and I take medication to-prevent tachycardia and we are both diabetics. Our neighbors Brent Rosen and Paul Schell also dug and shoveled mounds of snow. I think in emergency situation which we had this weekend the township should make the health and safety of all it's citizens a major concern and pryority. I can now get to the hospital for surgury on Thursday and will be able to rest knowing help can reach us if necessry. I don't know how long we would have have been trapped by the snow without the kindness and hours of work Willie worked to free our road and enable us to reach the local store and outside world. Thank you Willie, Brent & Paul. We can not financially afford to fix the road but I can vote and maybe Willie should get our tax money since he plows and keeps our road open.

(Opinion/Letter:)Dear Editor:
Yesterday I received a phone call from Rob Roy McGreagor, vice president of business affairs at Ky. Mt. Bible College. I had sent him a copy of your Jan. 20th page A-8 newspaper. You had included information about the small college getting their area phone prefix changed from 666. He was most appreciative of how you honestly told the story and did not embelish as other papers. You might be interested to know that their are a number of local graduates of this college...Tanya Holdren Ford-Derwent, Sandra Harding-East Cambridge, Dave Fruth-Caldwell, Mary Ann Erwin-Caldwell, Linda Willey Lauer-Caldwell, and B.J. Yates-Cambridge.

(Consider For Print?)Yes (Opinion/Letter:)I have an opinion about the street improvement plan that the mayor has proposed. I know that the city taxes are going to pay for these roads being resurfaced but, I live in Guernsey county right passed Salt Fork Park on a dirt road called Stockdale Rd in Madison Twp and we do not have the money in our township to atleast chip and seal our road, that is heavy with traffic, to make the road safer to drive on. I feel that we should work together to work on the roads that really need attention in Guernsey County. We spend our money in Cambridge and pay the taxes, We should be able to get some help with our roads too.

(Opinion/Letter:) I have taken note of many ill-advised complaints agianst the SEAT program,that have been publsihed in the jeff.Every time one of these letters are printed,they contain the same old complaints and whines. a TYPICAL ANTI-seat coraspondence says that seat raises our taxes that seat clogs the roads leaving less room for actual "motorist",that SEAT is only for the poor and handicapt"as far as they go call a cab" the note wil say.These complainess always target SEAT as a pollution source they also moan about how much it is costing them for people to use SEAT.Well here is the facts!SEAT has had 30,294 and 24,444 riders in the past two years they are no more a road or pollution hazard then the cars,and suv's driven by the "lok down our noses' rich people who pen those anti-SEAT letters.SEAT does not raise yoyr taxes you might want to ask the governer about that one.I'd like to see this letter get to print so maybe the good folks of this area will see that our daily paper is ot one sided on the SEAT issue,or are they?

(Opinion/Letter:)I am a Junior at Meadowbrook High School. I have an opinion on the people who have been commenting on the SEAT Bus Fares. I am really upset that the citizens of Guernsey county think they pay for the fares of the riders out of their taxes. They do not, the riders pay their own fare with their own hard earned money. I should know because I ride the SEAT Bus to school everyday, and i dont remember any of the money i use to pay my way coming from anyone else but me. I get up at 5:30 in the morning to get to meadowbrook high school on time, for people to tell me that i really dont need to ride it because of fares is wrong. So if I cant ride the SEAT Bus at 6:00 in the morning whos going to take me, the citizens of Guernsey County?

(Opinion/Letter:)I would like to agree with Lee Corder's opinion of some fat that could be removed from our local government. Getting rid of SEAT should have been done a long time ago. The only ones that favor it are the ones making money off it. It is a whole new game now that they have sucked the state dry and now the spending spree is about to stop. How many people think that raising taxes will do anything but give these people another opportunity to find any goofy reason to become beggars to the taxpayers money for such things as rail to trails. This a situation where we can\'t even police the handicap parking at the local markets and we are going to police ,maintain,build, and pick up litter at such a long trail? Insanity at its boldest!

(Opinion/Letter:)Some of our state government officials seem to feel that the best way to raise revenue is to raise taxes.Taxes on a specific class or customer base is very discrimatory.Why is it the "sin" tax is always a popular target for increase?Why should the smokers and alcohol-consumers be asked to foot the bill?Is this fair and just? What would be wrong with bringing in more jobs to the state.More workers mean more taxes.More workers mean more consumer spending,which means more taxes.More workers could lower the need for welfare assistance which in turn lower the need for state spending to provide for the needy. If we need a quick fix why not implement an accross the board sales tax.This seems to be the fairest way to raise-money.Let everyone in the state helpout with the bill instead of a select few.Gas tax?No Way!!Look what happens when fuel prices go up.Everything goes up.The price of bread will go up because the bakery has to pay more for the gas to get the bread to the shelf.Same with all the-groceries.Most of the hard consumer products will see an increase in price with a gas tax.Gas is already a touchy subject in the Cambridge area and we all know that 6 cents more will hurt.-So let\'s send a message to good ol Bobby boy and just say no to a tax increase.Yes to new jobs.Yes to cutting some fat from all the pork. Bet if Bobby had to pay for his gas to perform his job the tax issue would not have come up.
Thank You

(Opinion/Letter:)This is an open letter to all who supported Bob Taft in his reelection as-Governor of our state. You are reaping what you sowed. Look at the headlines--in order to-attempt to fix the budget he and his cronies have destroyed, he wants to raise the gasoline-tax and decrease Medicaid services. So, the senior citizens he leaned on so much before his-election are the first ones he victimizes after he is sworn in. We are in for quite a roller-coaster ride over the next four years. TW Metals is closing--this will be only the first-of many to come.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Officials say a roadway realignment in a $6.6 million project makes is safer and easier for visitors to enter part of the popular Hocking Hills State Park in southern Ohio.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/WFESJT ) reports less than a mile of state Route 664 near the attraction known as Old Man's Cave has been relocated. State transportation and natural resources officials dedicated the realigned road Thursday.
Pedestrians visiting the site previously had to cross the road and potentially dodge traffic to get between the parking area and the rest of the park. Part of that old section of road has been converted into a path for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Each year about 3 million people visit the park, which is about 45 miles southeast of Columbus.

I am planning on moving into an apartment by the end of this summer. I read the "Heading out on your own series" which has been a terrific resource. Could I get some advice/input on buying furniture and essential items for my own place?
Right now I am thinking about how my new place will look. I need furniture and won't be lucky to get hand me downs. I also need to upgrade my bed from a twin to a queen size. I guess what I am trying to do is plan how my place will look and get everything I need without burning too much money.
I love wooden furniture or anything that has the brown/wooden look to it. Right now I am listing what I will need and have so far: couches/sofas, an eating table, a TV stand, and a few dressers. Any advice on how to go about this and save money? Perhaps buying them all at one place in order to get some sort of discount?
Views: 193
Cheap is impossible -- unless it's cheap work! Here is my limited experience:
* Got some new cheap furniture 20 years ago at one of the box stores. It's held together, but not well.
* Got a bed ordering it on ebay. It's not antique, but it's held up 10 years w/o scratches. (Metal frame). This was cheap.
* Got my dining room table from a junk and antique shop: it was hundreds of dollars, but that's cheap for something of sturdy, if old, construction.
So from my past, I'd say definitely check out the junk/antique shops, and eBay.
Monitor Craig's List, Kijiji and other similar sites like a fucking hawk.
A lot of people get rid of furniture at dirt cheap prices because they want it out of their house ASAP. A lot of people will also just give it away for free if you disassemble it and/or get it our of their house yourself.
IMO these are where the best deals are to be found.
Otherwise, look for listings of multi-home / community garage sales, estate sales, second hand stores, etc.
Besides craigslist.org we have had luck finding (and getting rid of) things on https://www.freecycle.org/ IF you have a truck, you can run a classified add to the effect "Will pick up used furniture."
Haunt thrift stores and wake up early on Saturday mornings to scour yard sales and moving sales. Paper often list yard sales in classified section. Summer is the prime time for yard sales and end of summer for moving sales. Ask around at your Church to see if anyone has extra furniture that they are looking to get rid of. Try to meet the people moving out of your new place before they leave to see what they would rather give away than haul.
Invest in a few wood products like scratch hide, orange oil, and polishes to rejuvenate and help match what wood furniture you find.
Date a cute interior decorator.
check out a webpage called estatesales.org Every weekend in our area, estates are put up for sale. Usually on the last day of the sale, everything goes to half off. Since these are usually older folks homes, you can get antique/vintage (i.e. well made) furniture for next to nothing. My house is furnished this way and it was cheap.
My suggestion is Ikia for the bed. When looking at the stuff look at simple basic bed frames that are made from wood, not particle board. Those will be lighter and last a few moves. A basic 4 inch thick foam mattress on the Sultan Laxeby sprung slat base is very comfortable long term. It seems thin and it is tempting to get bigger deeper more expensive mattresses but from experience, the thin foam and the sprung slats are the way to go.
As to your furniture I suggest looking at second hand stores and be willing to use paint stripper to re-stain some good wood stuff you got cheap. People tend to clear out their relatives old furniture because they already have their own, that means some really nice pieces are given to Salvation Army and such.
Do you really need a TV stand? Do you watch TV or stream video?
Do you really need an eating table? Many apartments have counters that work as eating tables.
Also you may want to keep it basic and minimalistic. It is easier to keep up, keep clean and move.
How long will you be in that city? How long will you be living alone? Furniture can become more of a liability than an asset when you're moving or merging households. I'm glad I just scrounged hand-me-downs and filled in with Ikea for grad school. Then I left it all behind when I graduated.
My advice would be to go with whatever's cheapest and lightest unless you're certain you're going to be using it in that place for a long while. Except, don't accept anything upholstered from a stranger, due to bed bug concerns.
Most of my furniture was my grandmother's. A big exception is my "dresser" which is 2 identical chests of drawers from Ikea. A third made it to grad school but got left behind. Very good friends who visit compliment me on my beautiful furniture, and point out how they don't like the dresser. But the dresser is about 20 years old. So cheap and light doesn't have to mean throw-away.
One of those good friends is my now-husband, and we have a budget to replace the "dresser" in our next apartment. My grandmother's tea table, which is lovely but impractical in 2014, is one of those assets-turned-liabilities as we plan to move.
The advantage of Ikea stuff in those situations is that it's common enough that it's easy to find used and at reasonable prices, and sought after enough that you'll be able to unload it quickly when you're done (and probably at the same price you bought it used).
Very good advice about going light and being able to walk away from things.
It is easy to overload a space if both people are trying to bring in a whole house hold of stuff each.

Betty Exclusive!
Dooce: It Sucked and Then I Cried
Exclusive interview with infamous mommy-blogger Heather Armstrong
-Stephanie Elliot
With a second daughter due in June and a memoir out about her first pregnancy and subsequent nine months of motherhood (which involved a short stay in a mental hospital), famed blogger Heather Armstrong of Dooce.com doesn't think things suck quite so much these days.
But suck they did, and big time, as her new book reveals, all in the same controversial Dooce style that has garnered Heather's blog status as "the most popular personal blog on the web." And as a mother of three myself (who has read her share of parenting books and has also been medicated for her own depression issues), I found It Sucked and Then I Cried: How I Had a Baby, a Breakdown, and a Much Needed Margarita to be one of the truest and bravest books I've ever read about motherhood.
I met Heather Armstrong before her book signing in Chicago, and immediately gave her points for not being the kind of woman who gives up her Diet Coke during pregnancy. We chatted about babies, books, breakdowns and blogs:
Stephanie Elliot: I love that in this book you don't sugar-coat ANYTHING about pregnancy.
Dooce: I didn't want to sugarcoat. I had a mom who could have told me, a sister who could have told me … NO ONE EVER TOLD ME about what happens during pregnancy; I felt I was completely blindsided by the whole experience.
SE: I think maybe we're supposed to forget, so that we can go on to have more babies, which, your next baby – a girl – is due when?
Dooce: June 14th.
SE: Which pregnancy has been harder?
Dooce: The physicality of this pregnancy is much harder, because I'm five years older. With Leta, the smells were so bad, I lost 20 pounds the first trimester. I'm already past the weight I was when I gave birth to her. This pregnancy's easier, because I know there's an end to it, and eventually I'm gonna have another 5-year-old telling jokes.
SE: Do you think your breakdown was more than just a result of postpartum depression? In other words, do you think you would have still had a breakdown if you hadn't had a baby?
Dooce: I look back at my childhood and see myself as a depressed person. I got medicated in college and only went off medication to get pregnant and I was already predisposed to falling apart in stressful situations. It was the sleep-deprivation … it was seven months of not sleeping. Which would drive anybody crazy, and for someone who wasn't medicated properly, and sleep deprivation and a baby who cried incessantly … she was just a grumpy kid … it was just a perfect storm for me to go crazy.
SE: Do you have to be off your medication during your pregnancy now?
Dooce: I'm on my medication and I'm very open about that. I called the doctor who treated me for postpartum and he said, "Stay on your Prozac." I was on a cocktail and I went off half the cocktail and I'm on that now and I will continue to be on that.
SE: What do you want to say to moms who resist medication as a cure to the problem?
Dooce: I would never push medication on anybody. If you think there are other ways to help yourself, by all means, pursue those ways. If you think prayer's going to help you, pray. If you think vitamins are going to help you … But I got to a point where there was no other option for me. I was exercising, I was eating right, I was trying to sleep. I was taking sleeping medication to sleep and I couldn't sleep. There was no other option for me.
SE: When you went into the hospital what were you thinking?
Dooce: It was a last resort. I didn't know what else to do. I wanted to feel better so badly and I didn't know what to do. For me, going to the hospital was if that doesn't work then nothing will work and it was me sort of jumping into their arms and the hope that this would work. And the first night I was in there, it was the worst night of my life because I didn't think it was going to help. It wasn't that I needed a break from the baby. It was just please someone, fix this thing in my head.
SE: Are you concerned about postpartum depression this time around?
Dooce: I'm actually not worried about it. If it does happen, I have a million tools around me to look to for support. Jon went back to work after Leta was born after three days. My mom wasn't there, I didn't have any help and I had never taken care of a baby before. So it's a different situation this time in every aspect.
SE: What are you most looking forward to with the second baby?
Dooce: This is going to be kind of a schmoopy answer but it's real. I'm so looking forward to the moments that were sort of stolen from me by the anxiety the first time around. You talk about sitting there and looking at your baby and counting their toes and inspecting their nose, and we did that with Leta but there was always this monster hanging over me, making me nervous about everything, so every moment that I had with her when she was small was overshadowed by this sickening nausea and anxiety and I'm looking forward to spending those really quiet moments with the baby not freaking out that my milk is going to dry up and not freaking out that she's going to die when I put her down. And being free of those monsters and demons. That's what I'm looking most forward to.
SE: Your critics, people either really love you or hate you?
Dooce: Yeah. The majority … overwhelming majority of the feedback that I get is really supportive and (thank you, thank you, thank you!), the two percent – the one or two percent – that's really angry at me …
SE: They're really mean, aren't they?
Dooce: Really, really angry at me. Yeah.
SE: Why do you think that is?
Dooce: I'm a woman, and I'm successful at what I do, and I've done it on my own, and they want to tell me what to do and they can't control me. And it is kind of controversial … some of the things I talk about and the way that I talk about them. The big cry is that I hate my child.
SE: It's obvious that you don't hate her. Speaking of Leta, is she excited about the new baby?
Dooce: She's really, really excited. However, I don't think she has the concept of what it means. I think she thinks the baby's going to come out speaking, reading and dancing.
SE: And not just crying and needing all your attention?
Dooce: We're preparing for the worst.
SE: Any weird cravings during your pregnancies?
Dooce: It's all very normal. Doritos with Leta, and then with this pregnancy, it's all about Mexican food. This baby's going to come out in the shape of a burrito.
SE: And then regarding that "much needed margarita" you had to have – would you take it frozen, on the rocks, salt, no salt?
Dooce: On the rocks, salt.

The news that Dave Hartnett, the UK's chief tax collector, has become a consultant to Deloitte, is hardly shocking because so many now pass through the revolving door. In France, when public servants cash in by taking private sector jobs, it is called pantouflage. In Japan, it is amakudari ("descent from heaven"); and, in the US, it is normal.

Electronics for Energy Efficiency
Jason Stauth, Solar Semiconductor, Inc.
Friday, March 11, 2011, 3:30pm
Spanos Auditorium
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series
The growing demand for energy will result in dramatic changes to the way we generate and manage energy. This provides unprecedented motivation to explore technologies that can facilitate more efficient energy conversion, reduced consumption and waste, and support lower carbon energy sources. This talk will present a research framework for next-generation electronics for energy efficiency that merges efforts in highly-integrated power electronics, communications electronics, and embedded systems techniques. Future research areas include applications in automotive, energy storage, and distributed energy generation. Research themes include resonant and digital techniques that leverage high-energy-density passives and deep integration in modern semiconductor technologies. A commercial effort in distributed power management for photovoltaic systems will be discussed that combines efforts in power electronics, power-line communications, and networked instrumentation. This effort includes development of a novel resonant switched-capacitor power converter that can achieve effective conversion efficiency of 99.5% and can substantially improve lifetime energy capture in photovoltaic systems.
About the Speaker
Dr. Jason Stauth received his MS/PhD from U.C. Berkeley in 2008 and his Bachelor of Engineering degree from Dartmouth in 2000. From 2000 to 2003 he was an Integrated Circuit Designer at Allegro Microsystems in New Hampshire. At Allegro he designed or co-designed several product families that achieved widespread commercial adoption including the ATS645 family of engine timing and wheel speed sensors, and the ATS750 family of magnetic current sensors. He also designed the A1320 family of linear hall-effect sensors that was selected as a finalist for the EDN Innovation award in 2005. At U.C. Berkeley Dr. Stauth explored a range of circuit architectures and techniques to reduce energy consumption of high-datarate wireless transmitters. His academic contributions included theory and design of high-bandwidth dynamic and hybrid voltage regulators, high frequency DC-DC converters, and a framework to study the effects of power supply noise on linear RF amplifiers. He also explored techniques in resonant power conversion applied to RF power amplifiers and developed a new CMOS polar transmitter with direct-digital amplitude modulation. In 2008 he co-founded QVSense Inc and operated as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) until QVSense was acquired by Solar Semiconductor Inc in 2009. At QVSense and continuing as Director of Hardware Engineering at Solar Semiconductor, Dr. Stauth developed new techniques in distributed power management for on- and off-grid renewable energy systems with particular focus on providing basic electrification, lighting, and telecommunications services to rural-developing regions.
