Transition Voice has re-posted the article below from YES! Magazine. — Ed.
Like many of us here at YES!, medical doctor Jill Stein has been frustrated by the narrowness of this year's campaign for president of the United States. Crucial issues such as climate change, poverty, and the cost of war are completely left out of the conversation.
No one tackles this problem as directly as Stein, who is running for president on the Green Party ticket. On Tuesday, she and her running mate, Cheri Honkala, were arrested while attempting to enter the debate hall at Hofstra University in an effort to join President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney in debate.
While Stein was unable to gain access to the stage, her campaign has already achieved a great deal. She and Honkala will appear on 85 percent of ballots nationwide this November, and she has qualified for a federal matching grant to support her campaign.
Think what you will about whether it makes sense to vote for Stein, she and Honkala are doing everything they can to widen the range of issues this election is about. So when she was visiting Seattle recently, YES! Executive Editor Sarah van Gelder asked her to describe both the stances she's taking and the strategy she thinks can change the country.
Sarah van Gelder: Was there a particular moment when you knew you were going to run for president?
Jill Stein: First, the president put Medicare and Social Security on the chopping block, as part of the debt ceiling crisis. He then went on to propose a budget that went far beyond the $2 trillion mandated for budget cutting. It was becoming clear that the social infrastructure of the country was really up for grabs between Democrats and Republicans.
I was one of many people who got religion about the national Green party at that point. I had not previously been active at the national level. Consistent with our grassroots democracy concepts, I had only been active at the local and, at most, the state level.
SVG: Did your background as a medical doctor play a role in your decision?
JS: I got involved in this as a mother and medical doctor watching an epidemic of chronic diseases descend on our younger generation that didn't even used to exist. To me, that is such a serious warning sign. Another thing that mobilized me was learning that breast milk had become contaminated with industrial pollutants.
So I got mobilized to work on those issues. And I spent five or 10 years thinking "Oh, if only our legislators knew!" But I gradually realized that we can't solve healthcare without addressing the underlying political problems. I now describe my medical specialty as "political medicine" because it's the mother of all illnesses. We've got to fix this one if we want to fix everything else.
SVG: What do you hope to accomplish?
JS: There is a movement out there that's alive and kicking in things like Occupy, eviction blockades, and Bank of America protests. That movement deserves a voice in this election and a choice at the polls that is not already bought and paid for by Wall Street.
What's more, we're building a national party. I have a clear concept of how this would work because we piloted this at the state level. We built a strong state party out of a dysfunctional fringe party in Massachusetts by running campaigns that brought in a whole new generation of activists. And they've allowed us to begin to have contested elections. Once you start having contested elections, you start discovering the people who are suited for the job and have the skill set. So this is about building the structure of the party, which we are going to need for the long haul.
SVG: How concerned are you about the "Nader Effect," the idea that you might draw votes away from President Obama and help Governor Romney to win?
JS: The exit polls actually show that Nader drew equally from Democrats and Republicans, as well as people who otherwise would not have voted at all. So, I think there's good reason to reject the propaganda that tells us it's a terrible thing to stand up for yourself. Historically, we have made progress when there has been a social movement and an independent political party that helps drive that social movement into the broader public dialogue, forcing the larger political parties to change their agenda.
SVG: Isn't there reason to believe that there would be major differences between Obama and Romney as presidents?
JS: Look at Obama's record. George W. Bush bailed out Wall Street to the tune of $700 billion. Under Barack Obama, it's been $4.5 trillion in money disbursed and another $16 trillion in zero-interest loans. On free-trade agreements, Obama has gone way beyond Bush. He negotiated three more, and there's a new Trans-Pacific Partnership that would send jobs overseas, undermine wages, and compromise American sovereignty with a multi-national corporate board that can undermine American regulations.
On the climate, too, Obama has gone beyond Bush. We have expansion of offshore drilling, expansion into the Arctic, and into our national parks.
You can make the argument that the Republican ship is going to sink faster than the Democratic one. I don't really believe that anymore. And under a Democrat, the resistance goes to sleep. And that's far worse than any difference between Democrats and Republicans. What's going to save our necks here is the revival of our democracy, not the difference between two corporate candidates.
SVG: To what degree do you draw on the work of social movements in coming up with your agenda?
JS: We certainly weren't reinventing the wheel. We have drawn on existing ideas from labor unions and Green parties around the world who, in Europe in particular, have a policy called the Green New Deal. And I think in our work at the state level we are certainly drawing on the concept of YES! Magazine and David Korten's work around local sustainable economies.
SVG: What would you like to see the new economy look like?
JS: The green economy is a win-win for creating jobs, for stabilizing and reversing climate change, and for creating a healthier infrastructure. On health, it means addressing the environmental drivers of disease. By tackling air pollution, you also decrease rates of heart disease, asthma, and lung disease.
On transportation, it means having a public transportation system that encourages walking and biking. On nutrition, it means having a healthy, localized food supply that provides fresh and largely plant-based food.
We saw how all of this can play out in real time when Cuba lost access to Russia's oil supply during the 1990s. They did a lot of biking and walking and stair climbing because they didn't have the elevators. The public health impact of this is all documented in a wonderful study done by Johns Hopkins and published in the American Journal of Epidemiology. At a time when you would have thought stress would have aggravated chronic disease, the opposite happened. Death rates from diabetes plummeted by 50 percent, death from heart attack and stroke went down 20 to 35 percent, and obesity rates went down 50 percent.
We can't buy that kind of a health revolution spending $2 trillion a year. All we get is bankruptcy and sickness from the side effects of medication. So that's another way we win by moving to the green, relocalized economy.
SVG: How do you see this agenda moving forward?
JS: Well, I'm not holding my breath, but I'm also not ruling it out. Two recent polls said between 49 and 61 percent of American voters are calling for a third party and said they would seriously go for one.
We are in a perfect storm now where there's enormous desperation out there. One out of every two Americans is now in poverty or close to it. One out of every three homeowners is at risk of losing their home. Thirty-six million students and recent graduates are indentured debt servants. You talk to them about the spoiler effect and they say, "Sorry that doesn't pass the laugh test. It's my life that's been spoiled, thank you very much."
It's the politics of courage we need to move us forward. It's the only thing that ever has.

Denver hairstylists and clothing designers come together for Fifth Annual Red Ball
A male model wearing a vest made of condoms and a giant red mohawk with the words "SAFE SEX" woven unto it is probably at the top of the list of things I never expected to see on a runway during a fashion show.
But then again, I had never been to Red Ball.
On Dec. 1, the fifth annual Red Ball transformed an ordinary Sunday night at Exdo Event Center, into one of the most memorable style, fashion and hair events of the season – with a meaningful cause to boot.
A benefit for the Colorado AIDS Project, Denver Red Ball aims to both bring awareness to World AIDS Day and educate the public on HIV and AIDS, with a runway show featuring local hair stylists and fashion designers, a live auction, a silent auction, a dance troupe, fire dancing performers and cirque acrobats.
It's safe to say that one night a year, Red Ball takes ownership of the phrase "seeing red," and transforms it into something positive.
The evening was nothing short of inspiring.
More than 500 people attended, and more than 50 local businesses and personalities donated items to the silent and live auctions.
During the live auction, one guest even got hold of the the microphone and began telling her story, and connection to the Colorado AIDS Project.
Plus, more than two dozen local hairstylists, makeup artists and clothing designers collaborated to send creations down the runway.
The runway presentation, though quite lengthy, was a testament to the sense of creativity evident when local talent comes together. And while I don't know how each salon and stylist were paired up – and, whether or not some models brought their own shoes – the show was a hoot.
While some of the best styles were partnerships, many were solo acts by a salon or a designer. My favorite solo hairstyle came from Scarlet Salon of the Highlands, whose hairdressers created some of the most fun, retro and pinup hairdos in the show.
For clothing, I couldn't get enough of Kimono Dragons, with clothing that mixed hard and soft – or street style and elegance. With clear Asian and urban influences, Kimono Dragons sent men and women down the runway in pieces that featured layering, and unusual combinations of patterns and textures (think cotton camouflage mixed with satin).
Many of the collaborations between salons and designers either combined classic looks or were completely out-of-the-box creations. Crowd favorites were graceful styles from Gino Velardi + Ted's Hair Salon, Latin-inspired Mona Lucero + J. Audrey Hair Studio, and the skin showing Babylon Floral with Fleur Salon.

Our target audience is educators and those connected to education—parents, teachers, principals, superintendents, students, education foundations, and other organizations working to improve public education.
We do not want to hold you back with too many requirements

The logo can be fun, however must be professional.
The logo should communicate:
(1) Our Mission Statement (see above): Please note that depictions of "chains" are logically associated with "links"; and while chains or links will be considered, designers are encouraged to go beyond the traditional associations to emphasize our commitment to shattering the connections between race, poverty and academic achievement.
(2) Globalization: Our belief that ALL children can learn and our belief that education is the key to preparing children for a global economy
(3) Collaboration: The necessary partnership between schools and their communities to prepare every child to be competitive in a global economy.

Sternberg discusses new stadium talks, attendance
ST. PETERSBURG -- Rays principal owner Stu Sternberg held court before Monday afternoon's season opener at Tropicana Field and touched on several topics.
St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman was to be in attendance, and Sternberg noted that he hoped to see him before adding that any progress on plans for a new stadium wasn't going to come to fruition with one meeting.
"It's going to happen with right minds coming together and trying to figure out what's best for the citizens of St. Petersburg and of Tampa Bay and Florida in general," Sternberg said. "... I enjoy speaking with him and I know we'll speak and I do think things will happen. Where it leads, I don't know.
"We've been at this now seven years. A few different mayors. I feel most confident in what the Mayor has done so far and I think the city is poised for some incredible things, both on the Council and the Mayor's side, and I'd like to be a part of that. I think we can help move things along dramatically in the city."
As for interest in the team, Sternberg said he prefers to focus "on the people who are here."
"Not the ones who are not here," Sternberg said. "And I focus on the people who are engaged on the television, on the radio, on the Internet, reading the papers, reading the blogs, the TV side of it. The ratings are nothing to scoff at. ... And it's something that continues to give us the belief that Major League Baseball can thrive in the region."
The Rays finished the 2013 season with a total attendance of 1,510,300, an average of 18,646 per game.
"The key is to just have more people," Sternberg said. "We're getting them in. Any way you slice it up, a million and a half, a million six, a million eight. That's a lot of human beings coming in for over 81 games.
"It's not enough. It's still a lot of people. And we love to put on a great show, and a great product, make investments for the people who are showing up here and the same for the people who are watching us on TV and investing what has comes down to hundreds of millions of hours a year in the region who follow our product."

Following in the footsteps of her costar Evelyn Lozada, who unofficially quit Basketball Wives last month, Royce Reed has now announced she is also quitting the show!
Royce tweeted: "Good Afternoon! As of right now I have decided NOT 2return 4 Season 4 of BBW due 2 artistic differences.Things may change but as of now, NO!"
After some fans wondered if this sudden change of heart was over money (I mean let's face it "artistic differences" is usually the code name for I want more money!), Royce denied it was over finances. She wrote: "Some things have Nothing to do with money but All to do with images/careers! Never sell your soul! Respect is hard 2 come by! :-)"
Wow. Even more surprising Royce's costar Tami Roman then hinted that she might also be leaving the show. "Well ok @Roycelr don't be surprised-several others may follow…" tweeted Tami.
No word yet on what those creative differences Royce is talking about could be. Perhaps the producers of the show are wanting her to make up with Evelyn, Shaunie O'Neal and Jennifer Williams in other to remain
relevant on the show. After icing Royce out last season by not inviting her to Italy, the three meangirls have stated they no longer want to film with her. And with Meeka Claxton reportedly getting the boot, that leaves Royce with no one to film with except Tami.
And just a few days ago, the NY Post posted the blind item below about
Shaunie the show –
"Which producer of a VH1 reality show is fed up with negotiations over contracts for "Basketball Wives?" The producer was overheard telling people that the ladies "better fall in line" or they'll be booted "like the New York Housewives."
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. Must say the show is in serious danger if Evelyn, Royce, and Tami all decide to walk away!

Word wizardry, baseball cappery, long beardness and Dan le Sac. Can you guess the odd one out? The odd one out there is the last one. It's been the four years since Scroobius Pip's unlikely misadventure into popular music, when after years spent as a punk bassist and HMV worker, his 2007 collaboration with le Sac 'Thou Shalt Always Kill' became an overnight YouTube success and a number 34 chart record to boot. Since then Pip has become synonymous with producer le Sac and their collaborations have spawned two LPs. However on this album, although Scroobius still carries his trademark trucker lite imagery and rhymin' skillz, Dan le Sac is in absentia.
So here we have a nine track solo album from the Pipster. This is in fact the second time Scroobius has put out a solo album. Last time it was the 2006 prequel to the aforementioned well classy hit single. The question is, should thy Scroobius be granted the opportunity to indulge in such companionless things? Well yes and mainly no. Yes, because, without police questioning, Scroobius' style of rapping is immediate, crafty and clever. His prose jumps out at you from different directions. But no because, the musical side dish of le sac's seductive beats are not there and without that, Scroobius sounds a little - a lot - like a British nu metal, rock rap crossover type thing. Which would maybe have been ok if it was the late Eighties or the early Noughties, but it's not and so the overall product suffers.
That is not to say that a huge effort has not been made to grab the listener's attention with plenty of guest producers such as Renholder (Bloke out of NiN/A Perfect Circle) on the heavy duty 'Introduction', Richard Russell (XL/Gil Scott Heron) on the hearse powered 'Try Dying' and Zane Lowe(!) on reviewer baiting (but I resist) 'Death of a Journalist'. And then there are the rapper/singer people that keep popping up throughout. Highlights include Sage Francis on the full throttle recession facing 'Let Em Come', B Dolan on the souless machoism of 'Soldier Boy (Kill Them)' and Natasha Fox joining in on the Kate Bush cover 'Feel It'.
Much as there is plenty of proper talent here, the win-win formula of SP vs le Sac is out to lunch, so the overall album becomes a scrapbook of over produced amalgamation music drenched in worthy wordsmith spits.

KOMU Market Report: FAA Tower Closures, Cyprus, Housing Market
COLUMBIA - Sequester budget cuts are the sole reason behind the FAA's decision to close the Columbia Regional Airport air-traffic control tower, along with towers at 148 other private airports across the country. This is just one attempt by the FAA to cut the $627 million in expenses by Sept. 30 that the sequester demands.
Yet, Wall Street seems to be shrugging off any potential sequester victims, and any other negative news for that matter. Turmoil in the tiny European nation Cyprus did not spark a major correction in stocks this week like some thought it would. That's as the bankrupt country edges closer to the Monday deadline from the Eurozone to find a rescue plan for its failing banks.
It was a wild week, but markets managed to rebound from their biggest drop in nearly a month to end on a positive note for the day. But, they finished in the red for the week. The Dow snapped a four-week win streak and the S&P 500 logged its second losing week this year.
The Dow increased 90.54 points, or 0.6%, to close at 14,512.03. Seven of its 30 components closed down. The Dow lost less than 0.01% this week.
The S&P 500 index gained 11.09 points, or 0.7%, closing at 1,556.89. Consumer discretionary and consumer staples stocks led the S&P's gains, but the index was down 0.2% for the week.
The Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 22.40 points, or 0.7%, to 3,245.00. Apple helped, gaining 2% today. But like the other indexes, the Nasdaq finished the week in negative territory, down 0.1%.
Markets were comforted by the Federal Reserve's promise to continue to pump money into the economy in the form of QE, while keeping borrowing rates at record lows. Investors were also encouraged by a slew of positive economic data out this week, especially in housing.
Construction of new homes and apartments in February shot up most in 5 years, while sales in existing homes rose to three year highs. Get this: homebuilders say that can't get a hold of enough land building materials and workers to keep up with demand.
Mid-Missouri falls in line with that trend. Single family home sales in Boone County are up month over month for January and February both and the president of Columbia's Board of Realtors told me she expects that trend to continue.
"We are going to see a slow trend in price increases, especially if interest rates stay the same or don't increase over that 4.5% mark for a while," said Jessica Kempf.
Kempf added those signs point to a shift from a buyer's to a seller's market. Stocks are on upswing as well, but the long-awaited correction is on investor's minds.
Here's what could impact markets in the week ahead:
The first quarter comes to an end next week - believe it or not - and investors will turn their attention to corporate profits as earnings season starts.

thank your body for all it does with massage and feel like you're walking on a cloud...
Each of us comes equipped with a body, but no instructional manual to tell us how to keep it healthy and happy, and it is easy for stress to build up in our bodies, creating tension in our muscles and fogging our minds. The good news is that receiving regular massages can help us feel relaxed, invigorated and better equipped to deal with everyday stresses.
Massage is one of the oldest healing arts and records indicate that ancient Chinese (at least 3,000 years ago), Hindus, Egyptians and Persians all applied massage as a remedy for various ailments. Today massage helps people with chronic pain, digestive issues, depression, helps to lower blood pressure, fibromyalgia, headaches and migraines, repetitive stress injuries and a variety of other issues.

Despite its small size and modest population statistics (less than 68,000 inhabitants in the city itself), Santa Fe, N.M., is a city of superlatives. It is the oldest capital in the U.S., founded in the early 17th century. The center of the city sits 7,000 feet above sea level, making it the highest capital in the country as well. Santa Fe is arguably the most attractive tourist destination in its state and one of the most interesting places to visit in the Southwest. Much of Santa Fe's popularity is thanks to its well-preserved history, colorful local culture, well-known art scene, and high concentration of world-class restaurants.
Green-minded travelers will find plenty to love in this artsy, high-altitude town. Santa Fe is a compact place, so it is highly walkable. Local, organic and fresh ingredients are the norm in many of the city's most notable eateries. Trails and nature are easy to access without getting behind the wheel (or even on a bus or other gas-powered vehicle). Small-scale sleeping spots dominate the hospitality scene, with many overtly environmentally friendly options among the high number of hotels, haciendas and B&Bs.
Go green
One of the best aspects of Santa Fe is its walkability. The compact downtown holds many sights and walking is the best way to take it all in. Locals and visitors alike stroll through the central Santa Fe Plaza until late in the evening, creating an atmospheric, buzzing scene. Because parking is severely limited in downtown during the summertime, taking the bus is a good option for those seeking both eco-friendliness and convenience. The Santa Fe Trails bus service is limited, as it is in most American cities of Santa Fe's size. However, it is useful, with 10 routes running during the week and most also operating on an abbreviated schedule on the weekends. For those who want to explore further afield, the New Mexico Rail Runner has a station at the Santa Fe Depot. The train stops at the South Capital and runs through Albuquerque.
Loretto Line tour company runs regular tours on open air buses around the downtown area. Tours pass between the Old Santa Fe Trail and the Plaza and last for more than an hour. Santa Fe is a reasonably bike-friendly city with trails and paths making pedaling from one place to another relatively easy (for those who are able to cope with the altitude).
See green
The Nambé Lake Recreation Area is one of the many outdoor attractions in the Santa Fe region. This recreational area sits in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, a short drive outside Santa Fe. The area's waterfall, Nambé Falls, and namesake lake can be reached via short hiking trails. In all, the area encompasses 19,000 acres. Day passes to the park and all hiking trails cost $10 per car, with camping available for an additional $15.
Another nature-themed option is the Santa Fe Botanical Garden. Located on the city's Museum Hill (see below), the garden's focus is horticulture, though anyone who appreciates nature will enjoy the Arroyo Trail that winds through an 8-acre landscape. The facility's main area, dubbed the Orchard Garden, features fruit trees, while meadow gardens, dry gardens, a contemporary "naturalistic" garden, and themed courtyard gardens are also found inside this venue.
Museum Hill boasts a unique menu of museums, with four history and culture-oriented exhibit halls located within walking distance of one another. The Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, Museum of International Folk Art, and Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian all tell the narrative of Santa Fe and the surrounding region from different historical and cultural perspectives. The exhibits make this a good stopping point for any New Mexico visitor, and the convenient location makes the Hill a good itinerary addition for visitors hoping to spend a car-free day in Santa Fe. A more hands-on experience of Native American culture can be found each August at the Santa Fe Indian Market. This annual event features cultural exhibitions and educational events in addition to a large market featuring Native American arts and crafts.
For many visitors, the most attractive aspect of Santa Fe is its adventure activities. During the warmer months, rafting on the Rio Grande and Rio Chama is popular with both adrenaline-seekers and scenery junkies (who can opt for slower paddles). In winter, Ski Santa Fe, located in Santa Fe National Forest about 15 miles from the city, is a popular place for people who want to experience the wintertime nature and mountain scenery while swooshing down the slopes. Even non-skiers can enjoy Ski Santa Fe. The resort runs its chairlifts in the autumn so that people can enjoy the fall colors of the mountain.
Santa Fe Plaza is the heart of the city. This is a pedestrian-friendly area that holds some memorable events, including a Christmastime celebration that includes thousands of luminaries. The shops and buildings that line the plaza create a buzzing and beautiful atmosphere at any time of year.
For nature enthusiasts, the real magic of Santa Fe is found along the many trails that lie outside the city limits. Some of these trails are quite high in terms of altitude. The Windsor Trail, part of Hyde Memorial State Park, takes hikers on a climb to more than 11,000 feet above sea level. For those seeking something a little more in the backcountry, Windsor leads to the quarter-million-acre Pecos Wilderness area. Hyde's Circle Trail requires less ambition than Windsor, but there is still some pretty steep climbing. The seven-mile Atalaya Mountain Trail is one of the most accessible trails in Santa Fe. The apex of the Atalaya hike is at the top of the trail's namesake mountain. This vantage point provides awe-inspiring views of the Rio Grande Valley and the city. During the summer, Santa Fe's Ski Basin, nestled in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, draws hikers with accessible and scenic trails including the scenery-heavy 10-mile Aspen Vista Trail. Many more paths snake through the Santa Fe area. One last one worth mentioning for casual walkers is the Nature Conservancy Trail, a mile-and-a-half loop that passes through protected land near central Santa Fe.
Sleep green
Cities the size of Santa Fe are often dominated by chain hotels. This is not the case in New Mexico's capital, however. Independently owned inns with an atmospheric Southwest vibe are quite common, as are bed-and-breakfasts and other forms of small-scale accommodation. There is even a chance to get ultra-rustic at Hyde Memorial State Park, which offers tent camping and three-sided shelters.
Places like Pueblo Bonito Bed and Breakfast straddle the line between an inn and an intimate bed-and-breakfast. This 18-room facility boasts Southwestern ambiance and a location that allows guests to walk to both natural and urban attractions. The Santa Fe International Hostel is a funky sleeping spot with lots of common areas and a distinct lack of televisions. The hostel operates as a nonprofit business.
Bishops Lodge Ranch and Spa manages to balance luxury and service with eco-friendliness. This nearly-century-old venue has a kitchen that relies heavily on local organic ingredients, with some produce actually harvested on-site. The Lodge's green features include everything from energy efficient light fixtures and biodegradable food containers to environmentally friendly wedding options and landscaping practices that are designed to maximize water conservation.
The adobe-style Hacienda Nicholas is another green sleeping spot. This bed-and-breakfast-style inn has themed rooms with a strong Southwestern flair. Organically fertilized gardens, low-flow fixtures and other green features make this a good bet for travelers intent on finding a low-impact place to sleep.
Eat green
Santa Fe is ripe with organic eating opportunities. Some of these natural eateries focus on health. Body Cafe, which features an organic-centered menu, is part of a health emporium that also includes a yoga studio and spa. In addition to the natural meals, the cafe serves organic beer, wine and sake. ZIA Diner, meanwhile, offers grass-fed beef and other locally sourced, organic ingredients.
Other small eateries have helped to create a surprisingly diverse and exciting scene for vacationing foodies. The small Pasqual's Cafe serves ice cream and baked goods that are made in-house. This is yet another kitchen that focuses on using natural and organic products. Vinaigrette features a salad-based menu that boasts fresh produce grown, in large part, at a local farm run by the restaurant's owner. The farm's greenhouse keeps the kitchen stocked during the colder months.
The Santa Fe Farmers Market is one of the more vibrant markets in the Southwest. It features locally grown foods and artisanal products. The market's vendors go well beyond edibles, however, selling a variety of handmade goods, from guitars and pottery to jewelry and ornamental hand-blown glass.
Santa Fe might lack the bright lights and urban glamour of other regional cities, but it is arguably one of the better places in the Southwest when it comes to planning and enjoying a green-themed vacation. Even green-minded visitors not interested in the art and history of this capital city will find plenty of nature and an organic and locally focused eating scene.

aconley necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 148 diseños de 46 diseñadores freelance.
Būccan is a 150-seat restaurant, bar and lounge opening in the heart of Palm Beach, FL. The concept, conceived by Chef Clay Conley, one of Miami's most celebrated young chefs, is primarily a high-end bistro, featuring world cuisine in a casually sophisticated setting. Būccan's culinary concept is designed with the "foodie" in mind, highlighting the use of superior ingredients and preparation. The predominant mark of būccan's menu is an array of small plates offering an adventurous and memorable dining experience. Many items will be wood fire-grilled and wood fire-roasted, hence the name "būccan." Although būccan is a high-end concept, it is at the same time casual, unpretentious, and approachable and is designed to attract considerable repeat clientele.
Well integrated into its neighborhood, būccan is a sophisticated, gracious environment. Though modest in price, the restaurant exudes style and creativity. Its attractive finishes and innovative menu combine to deliver value to today's increasingly food savvy consumer. By developing a menu of distinctive, addictive flavors frequently refreshed in small-plate presentations, būccan is uniquely positioned to develop a broad guest base. For customers who prefer to explore boldly, the menu offers a broad range of taste and flavor profiles served in portion sizes that allow several to be enjoyed. For the aspirant, the small plate style and price point allows a more modest budget to enjoy the būccan experience on a regular basis. Būccan's clientele will be 30-65yrs, affluent, well-traveled, fashionable and trendy, yet sophisticated and classic. Guests will come in for a quick bit at the bar or leisurely evenings. While Chef Conley made his mark in "liberal" Miami, Palm Beach is a more conservative clientele, with a cool, young, tight knit community.
We want a simple, sophisticated logo that reflects something warm, earthy, organic. Wood, fire, copper and other rustic elements play a role in the design and the food. The space, food, and food presentation are all sophisticated and modern, however, without being pretentious or cold.
While būccan is an original concept in its own right, in many ways it captures successful elements of other concepts around the globe. Some influential examples include Lupa in NYC, Fore Street in Portland, ME, Bonfire in Boston, MA and Oak Door in Tokyo. Būccan is bringing a cold-weather concept to a warm-weather locale.
Factoids: A buccan is a native South American and Caribbean name for a wooden framework or hurdle on which meat was roasted or smoked over a fire, similar to the original meaning of a barbecue. The French changed this to boucan and called the French hunters who used these frames to cook and on the island of Hispaniola boucaniers. Additionally, a boucan is a naturally burning bed of surface coal. Certain exposed seams of coal can catch fire due to lightning or a forest fire and then smolder for decades, perhaps for centuries.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo. We do not want anything silly or related to the pirate term "buccaneer." The restaurant name is būccan (pronounced boo-cahn). We'd like the marcon used over the "u."

In the 2011 Slalom World Championships, the USA's Damien Leroy is leading the men's division having come out top in both of the two rounds sailed. He is ahead of France's Bruno Sroka, who came third in both rounds with Spain's Miguel Villar third overall. American favourite Bryan Lake, from San Francisco, didn't have the best day. He finished second after a close battle with Leroy in the first round, but in the second missed his heat. "I blew it. I went away from my equipment for 10 minutes and when I came back it was super-tangled. It took me 10 minutes to get it undone and I missed the start of my race." Lake now stands fifth overall.
"I am trying to stay positive. I beat Damien at the Course Racing Worlds this year. It is tough for a lot of competitors. You feel sorry for the guys who crash their kites in the water and they end up swimming the whole time and miss their races. Hopefully tomorrow we'll get some better breeze."
Among the women, France's Caroline Adrien is leading, who like LeRoy won both rounds, to lead Germany Kristin Boese, who finished second in both rounds.
Holding third is Eugenia Gueorguieva, originally from Bulgaria but who has been living in the USA for the last 11 years since going to school there. She only started competing regularly on her kiteboard this year on San Francisco Bay, but during this time says she has been improving rapidly which promoted her to come to Murcia for the inaugural Kite Cross World Championship.
She, like Lake, started strongly yesterday but didn't do too well today. "I am missing one key sized kite. My 13 [sqm] blew up in the air – it just exploded. So I have a 11 and 16 sqm, but today I could have used the 13. That always happens when you need it." She was going to use her 16sqm kite in the last race today until it was called it off when the breeze dropped below the minimum of 6 knots.
"I like the Mar Menor a lot," said Gueorguieva. "If the wind was stronger it would be perfect. The water is warm, the jelly fish were a bit scary in the beginning but they don't sting, so that's fine."
On Saturday the wind is supposed to pick up to around 15 knots, which should allow to finish the third round and then continue with more racing in 8-person heats to get some more scores in.

EPA settlement with Destination Maui will fund blood lead testing for 350 children
Release Date: 06/04/2014
Contact Information: Dean Higuchi, 808-541-2711, firstname.lastname@example.com
(06/04/14) Property management firm fined for not informing tenants about potential lead hazards
HONOLULU - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced a settlement valued at $55,000 with Destination Maui, Inc. for failing to notify its tenants about the potential presence of lead-based paint at eight properties located on Maui.
"More than half a million children in America have blood lead levels that can lead to learning disabilities and behavior problems," said Jared Blumenfeld, EPA's Regional Administrator for the Pacific Southwest. "Household paint is the main source of exposure, so it's crucial for landlords to provide tenants the information they need to protect their families from lead poisoning."
In addition to a fine of $5,500, Destination Maui will spend approximately $49,500 to fund the testing of 350 children for lead exposure and provide blood lead analysis equipment to three community health clinics operated by Malama I Ke Ola Health Center on Maui that serve low income and homeless residents. The blood testing program will take place over the next three years, and will target uninsured children under the age of 6 years old.
An EPA inspection found that the firm did not provide information about the potential presence of lead based paint before leasing eight properties in Kahului, Kihei, Wailuku, Lahaina, Makawao, Kula, and Haiku. These actions violated the federal Toxic Substances Control Act.
The inspection was one of several conducted at property management firms in May 2011 throughout Maui that rent older housing that may have a risk of lead hazards. EPA places a high priority on addressing environmental health risks like lead poisoning that disproportionately affect children and environmental justice communities. Even low levels of lead in the blood of children can result in behavior and learning problems, lower IQ and hyperactivity, and other harmful health effects. Because such effects may not be immediately apparent in young children, testing is recommended to identify lead poisoning and take action to prevent further harm.
The federal government banned lead-based paint from housing in 1978. Federal law requires that persons and entities that sell or rent housing built before 1978, such as the units managed by Destination Maui involved in this case, provide lead hazard information to buyers or tenants. In addition, contractors who work on such housing or child-occupied facilities must be certified by EPA if they perform significant renovation, repair, or painting.

Here is an excerpt from an article about a recent study conducted by University of Alberta researchers Elena Nicoladis and Cassandra Foursha-Stevenson. The purpose of the study was to find out whether bilingual French/English children assigned gender to objects differently than monolingual children. (They did, but not quite how you might imagine. Strange!)
The researchers showed objects or images to the children participating in the study and asked them whether the objects seemed to be masculine or feminine in nature. While the unilingual children seemed to identify most objects as masculine, many younger bilingual children were willing to consider that, globally speaking, some objects could be feminine in nature even though, Nicoladis says, "their categorizations didn't correspond very well to whether the objects were masculine or feminine in French."
My hypothesis before conducting the research would have been that bilingual children would identify more objects as being feminine, but that it would correspond to the object's pronoun in their second language, so I'm surprised that it didn't quite turn out that way.
I know that my husband Carlos definitely uses feminine pronouns in funny ways in English. While chasing a housefly he might say, "She's too fast!" because "fly" ("mosca") is a feminine word in Spanish.
I hope they repeat the research with English/Spanish bilinguals to see if there's a difference.

The Dolby Professional Reference Monitor PRM-4220 is the most accurate display for creating any type of entertainment content. The first flat panel to outperform the CRT, the Dolby PRM-4220 is the new industry standard.
Dolby Professional Reference Monitor PRM-4220 Front View
The Dolby® Professional Reference Monitor PRM-4220 enables the creative process for colorists and cinematographers by ensuring that the final image will reflect exactly what you see on the display. The most accurate color-correction monitor available, it displays the full dynamic range that the latest advanced digital cameras can capture.
As a color-grading monitor, the Dolby Professional Reference Monitor uses 3D LUTs to emulate the full gamut and contrast ratio of film, as well as the color profile of digital cameras. This makes DCI P3 color grading possible without the use of a digital projector.
Each Dolby video reference monitor can replace a collection of other professional video monitors, allowing HD and digital cinema workflows in the same room.
Learn why postproduction facilities find the Dolby Professional Reference Monitor indispensable to their workflow.
Outlasts all other display types in color accuracy and provides absolute black levels, with true blacks and superior dark details
Allows calibration to perfectly match digital screening environments and to emulate the response of film-print stocks during the digital intermediate color-correction process
Supports high frame rates (HFR): 48 frames per second (fps) and 60 fps
Delivers a wide viewing angle of 90 degrees horizontal (45 degrees on either side of the center point) and a refresh rate of 120 Hz
Gives you offscreen, intuitive access to all features, functions, and parameters through simple, easy-to-use menus; can be rackmounted or used on the desktop
Validates calibration, generates test patterns, and creates and loads 1D and 3D LUTs into the monitor via Ethernet for monitor-matching, pre-vis looks, and other LUT uses
"The ease of use and flexibility of the monitor, its robust build, and future-ready technology make it an obvious investment in a growing part of our business."
-Kevin Horsewood, Colorist, Prime Focus
"With the number of films being processed by our studios rapidly rising, it is necessary that we ensure they meet the most exacting production standards possible. The [Dolby Professional Reference Monitor] guarantees that viewers will perceive a film exactly as its director intended it to be seen."
-Surachedh Assawaruenganun, CEO, Kantana Digital Post
"Why spend the money on the Dolby® monitor? The answer is simple: confidence. Having technological confidence in a display device gives confidence to the colorist. A confident colorist helps make a confident client."
-Michael Cioni, CEO, Light Iron "Several displays in the market use EBU Tech 3320 as a benchmark. To date, no display officially measured by an EBU Member's lab has fulfilled all requirements. The latest (and closest to fulfilling the whole specification Tech 3320 v2.0 [2010]) is the [Dolby Professional Reference Monitor] measured by the IRT (early 2011). In addition, it has the advantage of being the only large-size flat panel display (42 inches). While 24 inches is the common size for production displays, larger-size reference monitors are needed to assess consistently the quality of HDTV content normally viewed on displays larger than 32 inches."
-EBU Tech-i, Issue 10, December 2011, pages 10-11
"The Dolby Professional Reference Monitor allows us to help content creators realize their artistic vision with the confidence of the highest level of color accuracy available today."
-Stefan Sonnenfeld, President, Creative Services, Deluxe Entertainment Services Group
"Dolby has the 'wow' factor that hits you as you enter the suite. No other comparable product has the picture quality and also the scale of this monitor. We have not seen any other LCD monitor capable of handling an image in the way the Dolby product does. Nice whites, nice blacks, nice soft color, no artifacts. Very impressive."
-Scott Harris, Colorist, Glassworks Amsterdam
"The Dolby monitor is a big part of bringing in more work-or closing the deal, at least. It gives us a differentiator in Toronto. Our color-correct business has increased by 70 percent, and it is really due to the monitor."
-John Laing, Managing Partner, Urban Post Production
"The Dolby monitor changes the game completely."
-VP, Postproduction Technology, major film studio
"Feature-film production is rapidly moving toward a model where calibrated displays are needed near set. The Dolby Professional Reference Monitor allows us to see exactly what has been shot. If there are any questions, it ends the conversation."
-Marc Dando, Managing Director, Codex Digital
"I used the Dolby Dynamic Reference mode for some tradeshow presentations of Alexa material graded in Film Master, and this monitor is as close to looking out a window as I have ever seen. Also, after a long day of intense grading, I felt none of the eyestrain that I have noticed from other monitors."
-Kevin Shaw, Colorist, Instructor, and Consultant; Cofounder of the International Colorist Academy
"My biggest like about the monitor is the size-I swear that you'll never see your image looking that good again. There are no other types of displays out there that can match the image performance and accuracy of the Dolby reference monitor." -Nigel Hadley, Nucoda Senior Product Manager, Image Systems

The Titan Arm
As biomechatronic technology has matured over the past 50 years, exoskeletons have emerged as leading tools for augmenting able-bodied performance, assisting human mobility and restoring lost limb function. These systems are anthropomorphic, structural devices that work in conjunction with the body's natural architecture to aid limb mobility. Exploiting biomimetic design, such devices may be worn in close proximity to the body and transmit torques via powered revolute joints and structural limbs. Controllable, wireless exoskeletons offer significant potential in restoring lost limb function, and enhancing mobility and strength of the user.
In order to make this sophisticated technology accessible to a large population of users, our team designed and created a proof-of-concept upper body exoskeleton for applications in physical therapy and mobility assistance at extremely low cost. Working as a small senior design team in the mechanical engineering and applied mechanics department of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, we researched, designed and manufactured a powered upper body known as the Titan Arm over the course of eight months.
Funding was immediately necessary because our project was ambitious, and would require investment despite our low cost requirement. One of our most precious funding sources came in the form of an ASTM International project grant. The project grant program required us to submit an in-depth project description, which helped us to better outline and plan Titan. Our proposal resulted in a $500 grant from ASTM, which was used to acquire materials and components and cover miscellaneous costs throughout the year. Without the grant, we would not have been able to integrate as many features or abilities into the suit.
In addition to securing funding, we worked hard to understand our applications and use cases. By talking to physical therapists at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, as well as potential users undergoing physical therapy, we were able to identify the most important needs, which were strength, range of motion and cost. This dictated the required functionality of our suit and guided our design decisions throughout the project.
Robust mechanical design, novel actuation methods and embedded systems were integrated to create the Titan Arm. Our solution employs a controllable limb with a powered elbow joint coupled with three unpowered rotational joints at the shoulder. As a prototype exoskeletal system, our device has met numerous performance metrics, including a low inertia arm, actuation non-local to the joint, wireless power and operation, back-driveability and low cost development. Titan Arm offers a solution that may be extended to accessible exoskeletal systems for use in assisting human mobility and regaining limb function, allowing disabled populations such as the elderly to regain independence and mobility.
As we worked to develop Titan, it became apparent that we would need to utilize a variety of techniques from a multitude of fields including mechanical, electrical and system design as well as additive, subtractive, composite and circuit manufacturing. To integrate such eclectic fields into a working proof-of-concept, we needed ways to better understand and work with different materials, techniques and concepts. ASTM International standards offered a way to more easily quantify and discuss diverse, cross-disciplinary topics among ourselves and with professionals in industry. Without well-defined test procedures and terminology, it would have been much harder to design and create Titan. (See Table 1 - ASTM Standards Consulted for Titan Project.)
Table 1 - ASTM Standards Consulted for the Titan Arm Project.

Electrical and Circuit Design
Composite Materials Use
As a project, Titan has hit all of its performance metrics, and has the potential to improve many lives. The suit is capable of augmenting user strength by up to 40 lbs (18 kg), enabling users to repeatedly lift objects without fatigue. In a manufacturing setting, this would improve worker throughput and utilization while simultaneously reducing injury rates. This force can also be applied resistively, allowing users to build muscle and regain their strength. The suit continually measures range of motion and force data, which it then transmits to doctors. This information can be used to remotely track improvement and create custom physical therapy routines for each patient. The suit is tetherless and weighs just 18 lbs (8 kg), making it easy to wear and portable - two of the most important criteria to enable adoption. Additionally, the suit is adjustable to accommodate a wide range of users.
Titan is most powerful as a tool to empower its users and grant them independence. For occupational lifters, this is the ability to work without fear of fatigue-based injuries. For physical therapy patients, this allows at-home, customized regimens that speed recovery and reduce the overall interruption to their daily lives. And for the permanently injured, such a suit could provide the strength and dexterity necessary to perform everyday tasks unassisted. With further development, we hope that Titan will be able to enrich the lives of millions.

12 Most Toxic Fruits and Vegetables
Health and environment watchdog, Environmental Working Group (EWG), has released the eighth edition of its Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce with updated data on 45 commonly-consumed fruits and vegetables and their total pesticide loads. The results are based on analysis of pesticide residue testing data from the US Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration.
Every year EWG takes to task the worst offenders with its Dirty Dozen list, while giving a shout-out to produce with the lowest pesticide levels with the list of the Clean Fifteen. It's such a brilliant and helpful approach, giving shoppers the power to avoid the most contaminated food while still being able to purchase conventional produce when and if circumstances require it.This year they also added a new category to the Dirty Dozen -- the Plus category includes green beans and leafy greens (kale and collard greens) that haven't met traditional Dirty Dozen criteria, but are found to be routinely tainted with highly toxic organophosphate insecticides. According to EWG, these insecticides are toxic to the nervous system and have been largely removed from agriculture over the past decade, but they are not banned and still show up on some food crops. Sigh.
Dirty Dozen: The 12 to buy organic (in order of pesticide load, apples being the worst offenders).
1. Apples
2. Celery
3. Sweet bell peppers
4. Peaches
5. Strawberries
6. Imported nectarines
7. Grapes
8. Spinach
9. Lettuce
10. Cucumbers
11. Domestic blueberries
12. Potatoes
Clean Fifteen: Buying organic is more sound environmentally, but if you can't, these options are less contaminated and don't pose as much of a health threat as do the dozen above.
1. Onions
2. Sweet corn
3. Pineapples
4. Avocado
5. Cabbage
6. Sweet peas
7. Asparagus
8. Mangoes
9. Eggplant
10. Kiwi
11. Domestic cantaloupe
12. Sweet potatoes
13. Grapefruit
14. Watermelon
15. Mushrooms
Other disheartening data from the report includes:
- Some 98 percent of conventional apples have detectable levels of pesticides.
- Domestic blueberries tested positive for 42 different pesticide residues.
- Seventy-eight different pesticides were found on lettuce samples.
- Every single nectarine USDA tested had measurable pesticide residues.
- As a category, grapes have more types of pesticides than any other fruit, with 64 different chemicals.
- Thirteen different pesticides were measured on a single sample each of celery and strawberries.
For the full list, see Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce. You can also download a pocket-sized guide here.

Sorry it's been a while since my last review - with being out of work for a month (now gainfully employed again!) and moving (oye) - it's been a bit cra-cra in the Johnson household!
But with a new job - downtown - comes new places for the Food Hussy to visit! We are in - as I like to refer to it - the "crotch" of downtown. No idea why I say that - but we're near where all the interstates collide and it is just crotch-like.
In this area - there are not a lot of restaurants in walking distance - like maybe 3. But that's okay - one is right across the street and is really yummy! It's Deli seven20! Now while their website doesn't seem like much - I do also like their Facebook page because they always have the daily specials there.
The salad I tried was "The Killer" and it is my favorite! It normally comes with either grilled chicken or tofu - but I asked for portabella mushrooms instead and they were happy to oblige. It comes with 2 dressings - a spicy ranch and salsa. My favorite thing by far about this salad is the roasted corn - it's soooo sweet and just bursts flavor in your mouth. I always get this!
I've tried a couple of the soups - the Fiesta Veggie Bean was just okay. Lacked salt and was too much just a vegetable soup. Meh. The Chicken Chili on the other hand was great! I figured it would be a white chili - but it was a red. Loved it.
The chips are pretty good - they're really well done - so pretty hard and crunchy - thick. Just an fyi - I didn't love them but I did appreciate them - if that makes any sense.
I also tried a sandwich special - it was fine...The "ring dang doo" is pretty popular from what I hear (roast pork loin, smoked gouda, roasted red peppers & sweet chili mayo on focacci). I like that everything is really fresh - but I'm not much of a cold-sandwich person...so I think I'll stick with either a large Killer or a combo with soup & salad.
Why Should You Go: The price is $8-10 depending on if you get chips/soda/cookie/etc...so it's not cheap - but it's good and feels fairly healthy. Most of all - you can tell it's fresh - which I really like! I don't know that it's worth a trip downtown - but if you're in the P&G/Sawyer Point vicinity - it's a good option.
I also hear rumblings of a deli/salad bar in the "book building" across the street - I think I'll have to venture over there. The construction workers swear by it and say it's half the price. The girls here say it's not as good. Sounds like a job for the Food Hussy! :-)
And go enter to win a 6 pack of Graeters - if you win - will you send it to my Mom? I can't enter!

Thirty boxes of stuff -- the kind of thing a frustrated spouse might suggest be cleared out of the garage -- is being donated to the L.A. Public Library, which has accepted the lot with much enthusiasm.
The boxes belong to Dr. Melvin Schrier, a retired optometrist who now lives in Palos Verdes. Schrier was born in Brooklyn and practiced on Park Avenue in Manhattan; when he started going out on the town, he began saving souvenirs. That was back in 1944, and he kept at it for the next sixty-some years, noting the date on each item.
"He kept ephemera from every dinner and theater date," says Ani Boyadjian, principal librarian for Research and Special Collections. "It's quite amazing!"
Among the collections Boyadjian oversees at the L.A. Public Library is a collection of almost 9,000 menus and the like, to which Schrier's restaurant menus, ticket stubs and other ephemera will be added.
"It's fascinating to look back now to see how interesting menus are in terms of showing the economy of the time," Schrier told Boyadjian when they talked about his materials. "Who, in 2013, would believe that a steak at the Cocoanut Grove would be $1.25?"
That's our Los Angeles Cocoanut Grove, the A-list restaurant and nightclub that was located at the Ambassador Hotel. When Schrier visited California, he went to the famed Cocoanut Grove -- and pocketed the menu.
Schrier pocketed menus in 120 countries and almost every state, which he traveled to with his wife and family. Before he married, he picked up other things too -- like the Little Black Book from San Francisco's Rainbow Room. A mini phone book, it had places to write down the names and numbers of the ladies a gentleman met at the club. It included a 1940s version of hot-or-not: a blank spot for "rating" each dame, along with checkboxes to note whether she was a blond, brunet or redhead.
These kind of items may not be rare books, but they provide a window into the past, allowing researchers a chance to get a feel of daily life. "I think it provides a glimpse into history, food habits and societal mores, and above all is a visual treat," Boyadjian said. "Every menu is a story."

Journalists have a curious phrase for a story that resounds for days or weeks: We say "it has legs," meaning that it continues to hold our attention as it takes new directions.
"The Chili Finger" story of several years ago, when a severed finger was put in a bowl of Wendy's chili, was — forgive me — a story that had legs.
The Boston Marathon bombings fall into the same category: We crave more news about the history and family of the brothers Tsarnaev.
But something tells me that the story of Ramineh Behbehanian, the 50-year-old chemist arrested on suspicion of placing tainted juice bottles in a San Jose Starbucks, won't exert the same pull.
How do I know this? In part, call it instinct. After 40 years in daily newspapering, I have a sense for what we do not know — and which directions a story can take.
I don't mean to offer anything less than unstinting praise for the swift police investigation or the quick-witted Starbucks customer who spotted the tainted drinks and the employee who wrote down a license number.
Broadly speaking, however, there are three reasons why I think this story will eventually fade away from the front pages of our thinking:
Of course, we don't know the motivation behind the crime. Because a bottle of juice could be purchased by anyone, it's hard to think it was destined for anyone in particular.
More likely is that the intended victim was Starbucks itself. One wag suggested that the perpetrator meant to return to the line, buy a tainted bottle, and then sue the store. Something like that happened in the chili caper story.
If that was the scenario, it was foiled by the vigilant response of Starbucks customers and employees. No one really thinks tainted bottles have spread to other stores. It's a happy ending, not an endlessly fascinating story with legs.

In the days before his fortieth birthday, London-based journalist Jasper Rees traded his pen for a French horn that had been gathering dust in the attic for more than twenty-two years and, on a lark, played it at the annual festival of the British Horn Society. Despite an embarrassingly poor performance, the experience inspired Rees to embark on a daunting, bizarre, and ultimately winning journey: to return to the festival in one year's time and play a Mozart concerto—solo—to a large paying audience.
A Devil to Play is the true story of an unlikely midlife crisis spent conquering eighteen feet of wrapped brass tubing widely regarded as the most difficult instrument in the world to master—an endearing, inspiring tale of perseverance and achievement, relayed masterfully, one side-splittingly off-key note at a time.

UH Manoa celebrates inaugural Osher Reentry ScholarsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Bridge to Hope Program
HONOLULU — Twenty-five adult students whose college educations were delayed or interrupted by a vast range of personal circumstances have been selected as the first group of Osher Reentry Scholars at UH Mānoa.
They are supported by a $50,000 grant from the Bernard Osher Foundation specifically to fund adult students aged 25-50 who are either starting their college education or returning after more than 5 years to compete their college studies.
"For all of the recipients, the $2,000 tuition award makes a difference in their ability to focus on their studies, many of whom need to juggle school with employment and family obligations," says Teresa Bill, Coordinator for Osher Reentry Scholars.
"It's quite a challenge," Bill says, "but we find that many returning adult students are more motivated than at any time in their academic careers and their academic success reflects that."
Recipients range from age 26 to 52, all with compelling personal journeys. This year's awardees are enrolled in a full range of academic programs including physical sciences, social sciences, arts, humanities, education, social work, nursing and travel industry management.
Many re-entry students ʻstopped out' of college because of family emergencies, financial difficulties, or a lack of focus. They have all made personal sacrifices to re-enter college and return motivated and knowing exactly what they want to do when they graduate. Some are single adults, some are single parents, and others are the primary earner in their family. All of the Osher Reentry Scholars value and are committed to completing their college education.
Bridge to Hope, an award-winning, innovative program serving low-income students with children administers the Osher Reentry Scholarship at UH Mānoa. The Osher Reentry Scholars program expands Bridge to Hope's services to all reentry students at UH Mānoa.
The Bernard Osher Foundation began funding Reentry Scholarships at 4-year campuses throughout the U.S. in June 2005. Further information about Osher Reentry Scholarship applications is available at http://www.hawaii.edu/bridgetohope , by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 956-8059.

Madbury brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 386 Designs von 115 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Deadbolt.com is a new site that helps homeowners research their buying options for deadbolt locks and security services. The site doesn't sell products or services directly -- it simply helps people understand which brands are most reputable, which types of products are relevant for different circumstances, and what to look for when they shop.
The site targets homeowners that want to improve the security on their home -- but aren't sure which particular product / brand to buy. They aren't sure who to trust, and they aren't inherently interested in the subject matter.
Note: I've looked at more than 160 designs now. I do not want a design that integrates a padlock -- that would be perfect for Padlock.com, but not for Deadbolt.com. Thanks!
The design for Deadbolt.com is challenging. I want the logo to express that the company is trustworthy, professional and well-informed.
The logo should include the term "Deadbolt.com". It should also include an image that suggests locks or security.
Feel free to experiment with colors!
1. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold.
2. Nothing too elegant / fancy.
1. I like white space -- please don't feel like you need to fill the logo with color.
2. I tend to like graphics to the left of the domain name.
3. I don't tend to like a "reflection" underneath the domain name.
Please don't feel like these must be rigidly followed -- I'm just trying to give some feedback on elements that I like.
Thanks for all the wonderful designs!
