Journey Jems celebrate premature babies' progress
Girl Scout project marks milestones for babies, families
A local Girl Scouts' community service project is helping families celebrate their babies' milestones when they are born premature.
Every year in Nebraska, more than 3,000 babies are born premature, which presents many challenges for those babies and their families.
Doctors at Bergan Mercy Medical Center said premature babies, like Camden Shirley who was born 10 weeks premature, could spend weeks in the hospital before they can go home.
"So many hurdles for the babies to overcome when they're born so early and so small," said mother Melanie Goans.
To make the journey home easier, Millard West junior Breanna Burklund created a program called Journey Jems, which is part of a Girl Scout project she started in January.
"Each milestone their baby goes through, they will get a different bead to hang on their necklace to take home with them," Burklund said.
The milestones are small and monumental, like growing to three pounds, no longer requiring oxygen and having an IV removed. Two local hospitals are already involved in the project. Those who participate say the necklace grows with the baby and gives parents a connection until the child is ready to come home.
"We leave the necklace hanging in the room, and the day they go home, the parents wear it on the way out," said Abby Saunders with March of Dimes.
The Journey Jems program is partially funded through March of Dimes and money Burklund received through awards at school. With more than 100 hours of preparation, she said it is nice to see her program in progress.
"I've seen a couple parents when they walk out and they wear the necklace and they feel really special because they know what their baby went through," Burklund said.
"That little bead is a nice reminder and a nice celebration that you are making progress, and that this isn't forever," Goans said.
March of Dimes is looking for volunteers to help with the Journey Jems program. If you would like to participate, visit http://www.marchofdimes.com/nebraska/

InContext Strategy necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 94 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
InContext Strategy
InContext Strategy spends most of its time working with small- and medium-sized organizations. We help them analyze how work tasks are being done (who, what, when, how). We then make specific recommendations for improvement and ultimately help them get their work done faster, easier and for less money. Then we put it all to paper so that when somebody quits, the organization doesn't come to a screeching halt. Our basic premise is that Context is Everything, but we don't use that as a slogan.
We spend a lot of time putting together process flow maps, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowchart and work instructions.
In 'household' terms - we are the people who come to your house, watch where you sit, walk, read and eat, watch what you carry around with you, etc., then we move your couch to the right an inch and your table to the left. All of a sudden you're not stubbing your toe when you run to answer the phone and your friends don't bang their shins on the corner of the table when they stretch out on your chair.
We do the same things for organizations. We review how they get things done, who does what and when, then we suggest taking two tasks from one person, one from another and then assign all three tasks to another person. All of a sudden, the important things are getting done and everybody is happier.
We help organizations do what they do, only better and for less.
Our market is basically any organization with between 5 and 150 employees. The majority of our customers have under 10 employees and are usually so busy running the business that they have not, or are unable to step back and see how they could make things better by making small (or large) adjustments.
Our target audience is the owners or senior managers of these businesses and organizations (includes non-profits). These are the people who stress themselves out all weekend wondering what they will do if 'Sandy' quits because 'Sandy' is the only one who knows how to perform some critical task. These are the same people who wonder how they will cut costs (maybe lay people off) without sacrificing customer service.
We help them take away their pain by helping them find new ways to get their work done that cost less, get done faster and better.
Anyone responsible for the success of an organization who is frustrated because "we keep making the same mistakes over and over" or because "we're busy but not productive" is a potential customer.
We are at the early stages of our progression from one-man-show to nation-wide headache-killer. We've had success with a handful of clients but now need to start pitching to people beyond those who know us.
Our primary need is for a logo to be used on letterhead and business cards.
Things we hope to get from you:
1) Waaay more design knowledge, talent and skill than we could ever hope to have if we took every design and art course in the world.
2) Joy and creativity - we tried our hand at logos and we sucked. No joy.
3) Original creation - no clip-art, copies etc.
Things we want to see:
1) Clean. Needs to look good in mono and colour. We like blue, if you want a colour.
2) New. There are a ton of process-flow software companies and they like to use arrows and boxes for their logos - it makes sense because of the process mapping, but it's not new. Example of the kinds of logos out there: http://www.processmodel.com. Not bad, but not what we're looking for. We'll look at arrows, but they need to meet req. 3...
3) Fun. No preference for IBM-style of text-only logo or icon. Just want more than a rare font.
Things we do NOT want to see:
1) A Twitter/Facebook 'box' logo. We are not social media and do not want a social-media box logo. Eg. Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Stumble, RSS.
Thank you thank you. We are very excited to move forward and this is a key piece of the puzzle for us!

I did not expect for this necklace to be so beautiful. The lapis is a vibrant blue and the necklace lays perfectly on my neckline. I felt like a queen when I put in on and saw myself in the mirror. Its a stunning necklace and I will wear it with everything!

"I feel love and pride for all of my artwork. I'm proud of my designs, proud of creating them, proud to wear them and proud to sell them."
"When I was a child, I wove jasmine garlands to sell in the morning market, making them in my free time after school. I chose the most beautiful blooming jasmine blossoms. But first I had to finish my homework and reading before I was allowed to weave jasmine garlands. These garlands didn't bring a high price at the market, but my work helped my family to save money to support my studies.
"I participate at every local festival in our town. Sometimes I'm a Thai dancer, leading the parade to the temple. Sometimes I compete as a noppra-mad girl. Once I almost won first place, but that was only in a village contest. This is my personal challenge, and it is great fun and a good experience for me. I like to study and play northern style music and perform northern style dance (the sword dance, spear dance, and so forth), and I play the sa bud chai drum. This drum is played before a soldier goes to war, and again upon his return. The villagers play the sa bud chai drum to lift the soldiers' spirits, and a woman can play it. Every year at the Loy kra thong festival, I weave a floating basket from banana leaves to sell that evening. I want to help preserve nature and our environment; so that it will remain with us. I don't like to use unnatural materials. Banana leaf baskets are very beautiful. Have you ever seen them?
"About my handcrafts, I feel love and pride for all of my artwork. I'm proud of my designs, proud of creating them, proud to wear them and proud to sell them. In the future, I'd like to have a small shop of my own, in which to sell my jewelry. Now, Novica is my little shop, open to all who love jewelry and stones.
"With some of my income, I'd like to help conserve the natural world and the original Northern Thai culture that I love. I don't want it to disappear. And I want to keep some of my income to help underprivileged children in my hometown, so as to give something back to my city. This place holds many things that have meant a lot to me for a very long time."

Many fad diets defy logic, basic biochemistry, and even appetite appeal. They are popular because they promise quick results, are relatively easy to implement, and claim remarkable improvements in how their followers will look or feel. Unfortunately, the one thing most fad diets have in common is that they seldom promote sound weight loss. More important, they only work short-term. As many as 95% of people who lose weight gain it back within five years. It is not surprising that nearly 25% of Americans are confused when it comes to information about dieting.
Despite the popularity of dieting, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased steadily since the 1970s. In 1980, 25% of adults in the United States were overweight. By 1991, this figure had risen to 33 percent, and by 2001, over 66% of the adult population were classified as overweight or obese. Each year, Americans spend more than $30 billion fighting fat—often for gimmicks that do not work. Most people who are trying to lose weight are not using the recommended combination of reducing caloric intake and increasing physical activity. Fad diets provide advice counter to that provided by science-based governmental and nongovernmental organizations.
Fad diets take many forms. Over the years, they have promoted consumption of specific foods (e.g., the Cabbage Soup diet, the Drinking Man's diet, the Grapefruit diet), specific combinations of foods (e.g., the Zone) and specific times that foods must be eaten (e.g., the Rotation diet). Some popular diets recommend elimination of certain foods (e.g., carbohydrates in the Atkins diet, Protein Power, the Carbohydrate.
Addict' diet, Life without Bread, and Sugar Busters!). Others recommend eating based on a person' blood type (e.g., Eat Right for Your Type), or eating like a caveman (e.g., Neanderthin). Celebrities promote diets (e.g., Suzanne Somers' Get Skinny on Fabulous Food), and fad diets have taken the name of well-known places associated with wealth, fame, and thinness (e.g., the Beverly Hills diet, the South Beach diet). If any one of these fad diets worked, the problem of obesity would likely have been solved long ago.
Some fad diets have been popular for many years (e.g., Atkins Diet Revolution). Books appear as "new, revised" editions and continue to sell millions of copies. Unfortunately, there is nothing new or revised about the diets; they simply appeal to a new generation of overweight, frustrated dieters. The underlying reason why diets (including fad diets) work is that they result in decreased caloric intake. When energy intake is less than energy expenditure, people lose weight. Fad diets that lead to decreased caloric intake, whether by eliminating carbohydrates, eating cabbage soup all day, or adding grapefruit to every meal, will result in weight loss. If a person followed such a diet long-term, he or she would keep the weight off. Of course, no one wants to live on cabbage soup forever, or eliminate carbohydrates forever, so people break the "diet" and gain back the weight they lost—and often even more. The accompanying table provides information about some common fad diets.
The American Heart Association provides some tips that can be used to recognize a fad diet. First, does the diet contain magic or miracle foods or proprietary ingredients? There are no "super foods" or "magic ingredients" that can undo the long-term effects of overeating and lack of activity. Next, beware of fad diets that claim rapid weight loss (e.g., "lose 10 pounds this weekend!"). Though quite appealing, weight loss occurring this quickly is due to loss of fluid, not fat. Studies show that gradual weight loss increases a person' success at keeping it off permanently. Sound weight loss plans aim for losing no more than one to two pounds per week.
(Illustration by GGS Information Services/Thomson Gale).
Another sign of a fad diet is losing weight without exercise. Studies consistently show that the single most important variable that predicts long-term success at weight loss and maintenance (not gaining back the weight that was lost) is physical activity. Simple activities like walking or riding a bike (to and from school, for example) should be incorporated into one' life. Also, beware of the promotion of bizarre quantities of foods or the elimination of other types of foods (e.g., cabbage soup for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; avoiding dairy foods; and eliminating carbohydrates). Forbidding certain foods or entire food groups, in addition to being unhealthy, may increase the likelihood that one will cheat, binge, or just give up on the diet. Finally a rigid menu or rigid schedule of eating is a good sign that one should avoid the diet. Limiting food choices and adhering to specific eating times is a daunting task. Rather, one should look for a plan that can be followed not for a week or a month, but for an entire lifetime.
Knowledgeable practitioners do not recommend fad diets because such diets do not work long-term. Even though they might work in the short run, there is little value in losing weight if one is only going to regain it after the diet ends. With repeated dieting, weight loss becomes more difficult and results in frustration, feelings of failure, and loss of self-esteem.
From a nutritional standpoint, many fad diets lack important nutrients. For example, high-fat, low.
carbohydrate diets (such as the Atkins Diet) are low in vitamins E, A, thiamin, B6, folate, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, potassium, and dietary fiber, and they also require supplementation. In addition, they are high in saturated fat and cholesterol. On the other hand, when individuals are allowed to choose foods from all food groups, their diet is likely to be nutritionally adequate and healthful long-term.
Most fad diets do not result in long-term weight loss and are often nutritionally inadequate for long-term use.

Yesterday I attended a local viewing of two education documentaries - The Inconvenient Truth Behind Waiting for Superman and The Finland Phenomenon. (Disclaimer: I provided the copy of The Inconvenient Truth.)
The differences in the films are stark.
The first film was created by teachers who currently are working in the New York Public Schools and fighting from a grassroots perspective against the Mayor-Bloomberg-run public schooling system. The filmmakers do a decent job of connecting the dots between the private monied interests and school reform. The private charters co-opt public funds for private profits and the results (or lack of them) are unfairly judged.
The public schools are routinely held accountable while charters are given a sweet deal with none of the accountability public schools face. For instance, charters are allowed to "co-locate" with public schools. That means they get the physical resources of public schools while literally pushing the public school children into the basement. In addition, charters can remove students from their rolls, thus forcing them back on the public schools. This has resulted in test scores that look great over time. Charter scores rise as the student population decreases. Generally the high-poverty or disabled are forced out.
The tenor of the film is explosive. There is documentation of public meetings where parents and students are screaming at public officials to take their concerns seriously and to promise an equitable education for all rather than turning citizens against each other in lotteries where a student's future is left to chance. That is followed by lots of evidence that the charters are not what they appear to be and that many of the celebrated results come from cooking the books.
The Inconvenient Truth Behind Waiting for Superman is anxiety producing in the extreme.
After that we watched the film on Finland.
The mood and tone of this film is calm and inspiring -- as is the Finnish system of schooling.
Following the film every adult in attendance wanted to know: How do we get that in our country?
Here is what was learned from the Finnish school system:
- In the 70's the country recognized that human capital was their chief resource, and they needed to ensure that all children were educated well.
- The nation determined the purpose of schooling (see above) and dedicated resources toward that end.
- They set a national curriculum which is simple but clear and allows localities to meet the standards in a locally-situated context.
- Teacher preparation was studied and reformed. Applicants must meet rigorous standards before entering the schools of ed. All teachers have undergraduate degrees in their subject area and are at the top of their class before pursuing the two-year Masters program in teaching. Now, after 25 years, there are routinely more applicants than can be accommodated in the programs.
- Once in, the novices watch master teachers, meet in collaborative groups to debrief lessons, share their lessons prior to teaching them, tinker with them in collaborative groups following the lessons, are given time to collaborate and plan, and then work hard to make sure that lessons are focused on giving students adequate time to discover their learning through projects and other student-centered activities.
- Once employed, these well-trained teachers are trusted to do their work. There are no "accountability" systems.
- Teachers spend a little over half the time in front of students than American teachers. (600 hours versus our 1100).
- Teachers stay in their careers throughout their lifetime. The profession is honored and highly sought after. Compensation, once the teacher has gone through a probationary period, is equivalent to other professions.
There were other surprises:
- Students don't start formal schooling until the age of 7. (There is a one-year preschool, state sponsored.)
- There is very little homework.
- Students are in school fewer hours than American students. (But schools are for learning only and there are no distractions like sporting events and so forth.)
- There is minimal emphasis on testing. There is a graduation examination. Any other testing is used to inform instruction.
- All students are taught together - no tracking of ability.
- Teachers expend lots of time on planning lessons which ensure that students feel calm - not stressed.
- In high school (grades 10-12), students can choose between an academic or vocational track. Both are equally valued and honored (and supported in the above manner). Unlike the German schooling system there are no placement tests for this. Students are not forced into either track.
- If a student changes his or her mind mid-way through, the shift from vocational to academic or vice-versa is equally accommodated, with no stigma either way.
- Students can opt to do some programs in two, three, or four years - their choice. Again, no stigma to these choices. (Students spoke about the programs and why some might choose one over another, and it was clear the students saw a logical rationale in why a child might make different choices.)
- Finland spends less per child than we do. (Please note above: teachers are paid well, but the stability of the teaching force results is spending less, not more. We spend LOTS of money on recruiting and training and testing and testing and testing....only to do it all over again in just a few years...)
- Facilities are equal in terms of equipment. (They appeared bright and clean...and calm.)
- Everything a student needs during the school day is provided. That includes meals and snacks.
- Class sizes are kept small.
Certainly all this touchy-feely stuff couldn't result in real learning?! Where's the nose-to-the-grindstone effort needed for success?
Finland routinely beats out all other nations in performance by their students. By comparison the US has been ranking around 17th when stacked up against other industrialized nations-- though individual school systems pulled out can routinely out-perform all nations -- and our ranking has been falling.
My colleagues sometimes argue that our high level of poverty is more of a deterrent to learning than teaching conditions and argue that Finland does not face the levels of poverty we have. And with that I would agree. Nearly 1 in 4 students in the US live in poverty and that level of stress is never conducive to learning. Finland's poverty rate is around 4% (rather than our 22%).
But we have done nothing in the past ten years but compound the stress our students and teachers face. And we have the lack of results to show for it.
If facilities were equal... If teachers were well-trained, trusted, and honored... If class sizes were small... If the emphasis were on learning rather than testing... If students felt that moving at a more individualized pace were acceptable... If the choice between vocational vs. academic learning were encouraged...
If, if, if.
Surely we would do better--poverty and all.

USProtect is turning into a car accident by the side of the road. I've just got to slow down and take a look. I can't help myself. Here are some new details from Forbes: Judge Thomas J. Catliota of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Greenbelt, Md., on Wednesday ordered an interim trustee to take over the operations of USProtect, which provided security guards to federal office buildings and courthouses. Wachovia Bank had asked for the judge to step in, claiming USProtect's management was "nonexistent" after the company's owner fired its accountant and financial advisers last week and several other key executives resigned. How'd you like to be Wachovia, owed $15 million by a bunch of crooks? Then again, $15 million is probably chump change for Wachovia. And I know USProtect got these contracts through bribes and all, but was anybody in the federal government paying attention to whom they were doing business with? The bank claims Hudec paid herself more than $5 million in salary while acting solely in a "figurehead capacity" as chairman of USProtect's board. These people reprehensible, suckling at the teat of the taxpayers. I sort of hate them.
USProtect story keeps getting more bizarre

You could spend a solid year sniffing out cool spots for travelers in Venice, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades and Malibu — scores of hotels, hundreds of restaurants and bars, more than 30 miles of coastline. But you're new to the scene, or you haven't visited in a while, and who has a year anyway?
We offer the seventh installment of our yearlong series of Southern California close-ups — 11 micro-itineraries that will lead you to fresh fruit, ancient art, pub darts, magic, gymnastics, Venus on roller skates and J. Paul Getty on how to be rich. (You can find our six previous destination micro-itineraries for Los Angeles and Orange counties at latimes.com/socalcloseups.) They'll work for you or for your out-of-town guests.
1. Veni, Vidi, Venice.
(Ricardo DeAratanha / Los Angeles Times )
That's a loose Latin paraphrase for: "I came, I saw and, boy, are we a long way from Burbank." Venice lies just south of Santa Monica and left of the American mainstream — artsy, edgy, defiant and occasionally downright dissolute. Check out Ocean Front Walk on a weekend morning and bring a fistful of dollar bills to tip the street musicians, magicians and all-around characters. Don't miss the mural of Venus on roller skates, near Speedway and Windward Avenue. (Maybe you've already seen it, in the Steve Martin movie "L.A. Story.") See too the careening teens at the Venice Skate Park, the cyclists on the meandering beach bike path, and the serious pick-up games on the basketball courts. There will be something to amuse you and something to offend you. (Perhaps the cheeky young man seeking contributions for penis-reduction surgery?) Venice-lovers embrace it as the weirdness capital of Southern California, if not North America. Others take one look at the grit and graffiti and ask: What's so special about beachfront urban blight and cheap sunglasses? Before you pass judgment, inspect the canals just south of South Venice Boulevard and survey the ambitious restaurants, galleries and shops along Abbot Kinney Boulevard. After you check into the playful but grown-up-oriented Hotel Erwin — where singing a song at the front desk may get you an upgrade — you can get a drink at the rooftop bar. It doesn't have a pool, but step across Pacific Avenue to Mao's Kitchen for a $9 bowl of noodle soup almost large enough to swim in.
2. Sweet swimming on a tight budget.
(Ricardo DeAratanha / Los Angeles Times )
For a memorable pool or a base camp for a beach day with the kids, head to 415 Pacific Coast Highway. There, by wide, sandy Santa Monica beach, William Randolph Hearst in the late 1920s built a vast mansion for his mistress, actress Marion Davies. These days, only the big marble-edged pool and guesthouse remain, joined by a sleek complex of changing rooms, fitness equipment and special-event spaces that was completed in 2009. It's known as the Annenberg Community Beach House. It's run by the city of Santa Monica, and it's probably the best-looking municipal pool you've ever seen. Though much of the 5-acre facility operates year round, the pool opens only in summer, accepting walk-up guests and reservations (up to three days in advance), its water (4 to 8 feet deep) heated to 80-85 degrees. Lots of moms and tots. There's a cafe, a cool little playground, a summer-only fitness room (which costs extra), beach volleyball, beach tennis, a pair of beach soccer fields and rentable space for parties. A day of pool access (10 a.m.-6 p.m.) costs $10 for adults and $4 for kids 1-17). On most Mondays, that price drops to $1 for adults and kids and the pool stays open until 8 p.m. Because demand can be high, you should show up around 8:30 a.m. with a towel and swimsuit. Pay the $8-$10 to park your car all day, or park your bike free at one of the racks. Then head for breakfast at the neighboring Back on the Beach Cafe (8 a.m.-8 p.m.). When the pool admission window opens at 9:30, you buy your passes, and when the pool opens at 10, you're ready.
3. Pier people, parallel bars and prawns.
(Ricardo DeAratanha / Los Angeles Times )
You can't overlook the Santa Monica Pier. It starts where Colorado Avenue stops, it dates to 1909 and its Pacific Park amusement zone includes the world's first solar-powered Ferris wheel. You'll find plenty of junk food, several restaurants, free live music on Thursday nights in summer and abundant people-watching at all hours. This is Southern California's Coney Island. You'll also notice the bike trail that runs past the pier — it goes north to Temescal Canyon, south to Washington Boulevard in Venice — 8 1/2 miles in all. If you don't mind navigating around Marina del Rey, you can rejoin the beach and pedal to Torrance, about 18 miles south of the Santa Monica Pier. The Spokes 'n Stuff Bicycle Shop (1715 Ocean Front Walk) is ready with rentals at $22 a day for a grown-up's bike. But before you roll anywhere, stroll over to Muscle Beach, just south of the pier, where dozens of regulars perform gymnastic feats of strength, grace and daring on rings, ropes and parallel bars. Once upon a time, Jack LaLanne hung out here. Ask nicely, and they'll literally show you the ropes. Then head a few blocks north to 1355 Ocean Ave. for seafood at BP Oysterette. (The initials stand for Blue Plate, not British Petroleum.) Then bed down for the night just a block away, behind the blue Art Deco facade of the historic but relatively affordable Georgian Hotel (1415 Ocean Ave.).
4. Retail, produce, magic, beer and darts.
(Ricardo DeAratanha / Los Angeles Times )
You know that Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade isn't as trendy as it was 20 years ago. You understand that Santa Monica Place, a mall that reopened at the south end of the promenade after a major rehab in 2010, generates more retail heat these days. So you do both, because pedestrianism is next to godliness, because the promenade's street performers are good and plentiful, because a serious farmers market sets up at Arizona and 3rd on Wednesday and Saturday mornings and because there are plenty of distinctive non-national enterprises nearby. Hennessey + Ingalls Art & Architecture Bookstore at 214 Wilshire Blvd., for instance. Or Magicopolis (1418 4th St.) with its weekend magic shows. And don't forget Ye Olde King's Head pub (116 Santa Monica Blvd.) with its British beers, twin dartboards and devoted expats.
5. Let's face it, you're cheap.
(Christopher Reynolds / Los Angeles Times )
Just a block off the Third Street Promenade, at 1436 2nd St., is Hostelling International Santa Monica, a 260-bed haven built in 1990 for frugal, youngish travelers, and later upgraded. Don't expect a pool or much privacy; all hostel options involve shared bathrooms, from the nine private rooms (most $159 a night) to the $36 dorm-room beds. Especially for younger travelers without children, the place has an agreeable global collegiate buzz.
6. Then again, you may be rich.
(Casa Del Mar )
If so, Santa Monica hoteliers are ready for you. Prove your cool by choosing the historic grandeur of the beachfront Casa del Mar, a redone '20s building with cool tile, big views from its upstairs bar and brochure rates that begin at $565 a night. Or, for a comparable price, hop across Pico Boulevard to Shutters on the Beach, which looks like a New England beach house that just kept growing and seems to draw more celebrities (even though the same owners control both hotels). Another option, of course, is saving a few hundred dollars and staying at Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel (a block up from the beach, palm trees inside its five-story atrium) or using Marriott Rewards points at nearby Le Merigot. With the money you save, you can buy one round of drinks at Casa del Mar, another at Shutters and round out the night with cotton candy on the pier.
7. Sweat, then shop.
(Ricardo DeAratanha / Los Angeles Times )
Check in at Santa Monica's venerable Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows, grab a table overlooking the pool and dig into an early dinner at Fig, an in-house bistro that focuses on seasonal dishes. Splurge on the carbohydrates, because you'll be up and out early the next morning in your workout wear, walking, jogging or pedaling 1.3 miles along Palisades Park to the public stairways on Adelaide Drive near 4th Street, a.k.a. the Santa Monica Stairs. You'll find the stairs easily enough — one set is concrete, one is wood, and they'll be surrounded by fitness fiends panting, stretching, kvetching and primping, which occasionally annoys the well-heeled neighbors. You'll see the young and beautiful, the old and resolute, and probably a guy with boxing gloves. Once you've retired to the hotel and freshened up, head for nearby Montana Avenue, where dozens of high-end boutiques, service businesses and restaurants are arrayed from 7th to 17th streets. Get breakfast or lunch at Café Montana (at 15th Street) or Babalu Bakery & Restaurant (at 10th Street). Families won't want to miss Every Picture Tells a Story, the charming children's bookshop and art gallery at 1333 Montana Ave.
8. Art and music, all day and into the night.
(Ricardo DeAratanha / Los Angeles Times )
Once upon a time, in the 19th century, Santa Monica's Bergamot Station (2525 Michigan Ave.) was a rail yard. But ever since its revival as a cluster of galleries in 1994, it has been a treasured spot for one-stop art browsing. Along with contemporary painting and sculpture, you'll find a lot of photography, a few artsy shops, a well-shaded patio cafe for lunch or a snack, and the Santa Monica Museum of Art. There's your afternoon. Then head to McCabe's, a beloved music shop and concert venue at 3101 Pico Blvd. The shop is more than 50 years old and has served as a clubhouse of sorts for Jackson Browne, Ry Cooder and many other Los Angeles musicians. Live shows, often acoustic and often Americana, happen on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the guitar showroom, which holds 150 fold-up chairs and some of the city's most discriminating (yet enthusiastic) audiences. (This summer's bookings included John Doe & Jill Sobule and J.D. Souther in July, with David Bromberg due Friday and Saturday.) For food, it's a two-block walk to the trendy Upper West restaurant and bar (3321 Pico Blvd.). Or go three blocks west and try the throwback Googie diner Rae's (2901 Pico Blvd.; open until 9 p.m.), which is as old and weathered as Upper West is shiny and new. If the evening gets late, the Travelodge Santa Monica awaits across the street from McCabe's at 3102 Pico Blvd. It's not fancy, but rates start at less than $150 and parking is free.
9. The Getty Villa.
(Mel Melcon / Los Angeles Times )
The Romans, the Greeks, the Etruscans — they're all here in Pacific Palisades, surrounded by gardens that have matured nicely since the villa's grand reopening in 2006 after a massive redo. The site is as intimate as the Getty Center in Brentwood is epic — the gardens, galleries and open-air theater all crowded together in a canyon near the sea just south of Malibu. Do lunch in the cafe (open 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Thursdays-Mondays). Cool gift shop too, with art books and prints, jewelry, pinhole cameras, mood pencils (69 cents each), "The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English" ($20 in Penguin paperback), and, admit it, your secret favorite item, J. Paul Getty's 1965 book, "How to Be Rich" ($6.99, paperback).
10. The Malibu quartet.
(Ricardo DeAratanha / Los Angeles Times )
First, acknowledge that you underestimated the size of Malibu. Twenty-seven miles of coastline! But at about 23000 Pacific Coast Highway (about 12 miles from the Santa Monica Pier), you will find a handy foursome. First, the Malibu Pier, where you might buy bait (really, you could) or have a bite at the Beachcomber Cafe. Next, a few hundred yards farther up the beach, have a look at the Malibu Lagoon and imagine living in the Adamson House, a classic Spanish-style beach home that's now part of the state park system. (There are tours of the interior too, offered 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Wednesdays-Saturdays; guided tours of the house are $7 per adult and $2 for those 6-16.) Jump in the ocean if you like. Then head back to the pier and beyond to the Malibu Beach Inn. If you can afford the splurge ($325 a night and up), every one of its 46 rooms has a wide ocean view. If you can't spend that much, you can still eye the view over a meal in the hotel's Carbon Beach Club restaurant. (Just remember, non-hotel guests must reserve in advance.)
11. Cove, sand, café. Simple. Right?
(Ricardo DeAratanha / Los Angeles Times )
Out-of-towners, beware. If you ask a local for tips on the best beaches in Malibu, you risk drowning in a sea of beach-bum bombast and legal disputes over what's public and what isn't, where to park, the shape of the waves, the clarity of the water, the rights of wealthy beach-dwellers and who lives in that big, ugly house over there, anyway? Zuma Beach County Park (near 30000 Pacific Coast Highway) is big and sandy. El Matador State Beach (32215 Pacific Coast Highway) is smaller, harder to reach, edged by cliffs and caves — and gorgeous. The state Coastal Commission and Los Angeles Urban Rangers will tell you much more about dozens of others at https://www.coastal.ca.gov/access/MalibuGuide2010.pdf. Or you could do the shallow thing and head for the trailer park from "The Rockford Files" and "Baywatch." Paradise Cove, a hefty 18 miles up the coast from the Santa Monica Pier, is home to a busy cafe, tiny pier and one of the state's ritziest mobile-home parks. It's a star on big and little screens ("Gidget" and "The O.C." are also among its credits), so if you have come to California with tourist fantasies about the perfect little beach, this could fill the bill. Gentle waves, handsome bluffs, fine sand, beach toys aplenty, lifeguard at the ready, legions of armchairs lined up beneath an array of palapas. Many locals scoff, because it can get crowded, and because dogs, surfboards and barbecues are banned. Also, the cost of parking in the private lot jumps from $3 (for four hours) to $25 if you don't spend at least $20 at the cafe. But if you reserve your lunch well ahead and show up early, and it isn't 100 degrees in the San Fernando Valley that day, you just might have paradise your way.

Inside The Studio
Little Story behind Karolina Bik Jewelry
Karolina Bik is an educated and qualified goldsmith and since 2010 she runs successfully her brand named Karolina Bik Jewelry.
Her works are being sold in Galleries and Jewelry Shops all over the Globe. Karolina Bik travels the world with her jewellery participating in design fairs, exhibitions and art projects.
Karolina Bik describing her very first contact with jewelry says: 'I was told by my mother that my fascination about jewelry started in an old German made cradle when my grandma gave me red beads made out of the ash tree. You know, after nearly thirty years of my life I still keep them'.
Her relationship with jewelry can be narrated into one simple word - Love. Asked about her work she replies: 'I enjoy sitting in my studio on the old, high school chair and being immersed by creation. I am passionate about it and at the stage where I am now I cannot imagine a life without this creation'.
Karolina believes that each object consists of three kinds of things: elements (materials), interconnections (used techniques and emotions) and a function or purpose (pieces having a purpose of a ring, necklace ex). As Karolina explains: 'For last few years I have been thinking about it. The interconnections are the most important. The copy of one object is never going to be the same because one can not copy the same emotions, imagination and motivation! This is what I apply in my works. I am giving you this third thing – Emotion, Story, Relation. It is not clearly visible at the first sight. This is where wearer has to see, feel, hear or experience it'.
Studio bench where all pieces are created
All pieces are made by hand
All made with Love
Taking care of every detail
Studio view on the mountain, lake and forest
Before it becomes a shiny jewel
I exhibit my works on international Jewellery Fair Trades
getting published in magazines and designer books
Your piece will arrive in a nice labeled package :)

It is our immense pleasure to announce the beginning of a new PCL Code Sprint sponsored by Urban Robotics: PCL-URCS!
PCL Code Sprints are intended to rapidly advance the capabilities of the Point Cloud Library in a certain area/subject by offering stipends to talented student developers and pairing them with knowledgeable mentors for several months of accelerated software development. These sprints have been inspired by the Google Summer Of Code (GSOC) initiative, and we will be following the same basic model. Projects will run for an initial period of 3 months with the same structure and performance evaluations as the GSOC program, and all of the code produced will be open source.
For this winter's PCL-Urban Robotics Code Sprint, we have identified the following important area for further development in PCL, and we are therefore searching for outstanding candidates (and mentors) to work on the following project:
- Out-of-core octree integration: integrate and extend Urban Robotics's highly scalable, spatially searchable and colorized 3D octree-based point cloud format in PCL, to efficiently support the visualization and processing of very large datasets on commodity hardware. Besides the requirements below, the candidate will need to have in-depth knowledge about various I/O and database structures, as well as binary serialization methods/formats. Experience in programming own databases or file formats for large structures, and knowledge on how to write/use subsampling methods is preferred.
The above project will run for a period of 3 months divided into multiple terms. Each student developer will receive a stipend of $5000 per 3 months for their contributions, subject to satisfactory mid-term and final evaluations, exactly as GSOC.
Potential candidates should submit the following information to email@example.com:
- a brief resume
- a list of existing PCL contributions (if any)
- a list of projects (emphasis on open source projects please) that they contributed to in the past
Advanced C++ programming skills are required for all projects. Please remember that this is a unique opportunity to work with some of the world's best 3D perception researchers!
Interested mentors should send a brief e-mail to the address mentioned above pointing out their time commitments and expertise in the field.

Abstract: A major challenge for European governments is solving the dilemma of increasing security and control of international trade, while at the same time reducing the administrative overhead carried by commercial and public administration organizations. Process redesign and use of ICT are widely perceived as key components of a solution. Thus, we see that many ICT-driven change efforts have taken and continue to take place under the header of eGovernment. These changes are not always successful, however, and not yet wellunderstood. In this article, we provide an interpretive longitudinal account of the strategic IS efforts at the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration (DTCA). Instead of focusing on IS that supports the government itself or the relations between governments and citizens, we seek to contribute to the sparse literature that is specifically directed at the interactions between EU initiatives in eGovernment, national governments, and businesses. By providing a narrative of DTCA that spans multiple levels and multiple time frames, we seek to explore eGovernment developments from the 1960s to now. We discuss our findings by examining the changes at DTCA building primarily on Van de Ven & Poole's (1995) work "Explaining development and change in organizations" in which they describe four "motors of change" – life cycle, teleology, dialectics, and evolution – and we combine it with some of Pettigrew's ideas on change. This combinatory theory offers a way of thinking about the occurrence of change in a dynamic context, both for researchers and practitioners. A key implication is that the theory is not only useful retrospectively, but can also be used to identify "running motors" and as such, awareness of the complexities and dynamics of these change processes can provide an impetus for managers and action researchers to identify challenges and opportunities to influence change.

Hoogendoorn, Sander; Parker, Simon C.; Van Praag, Mirjam (Amsterdam, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: What is the effect of dispersed levels of cognitive ability of members of a (business) team on their team's performance? This paper reports the results of a field experiment in which 573 students in 49 teams start up and manage real companies under identical circumstances. We ensured exogenous variation in - otherwise random - team composition by assigning students to teams based on their measured cognitive abilities (Raven test). Each team performs a variety of tasks, often involving complex decision making. The key result of the experiment is that the performance of business teams first increases and then decreases with ability dispersion. We seek to understand this finding by developing a model in which team members of different ability levels form sub-teams with other team members with similar ability levels to specialize in different productive tasks. Diversity spreads production over different tasks in order to escape diminishing marginal returns under specialization. The model comes with a boundary condition: our experimental finding is most likely to emerge in settings where different tasks exhibit moderate differences in their productive contributions to total output.

Evidence from Survival Rates in a Natural ExperimentAndersen, Steffen; Meisner Nielsen, Kasper (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We use a natural experiment in Denmark to test the hypothesis that aspiring entrepreneurs face financial constraints because of low entrepreneurial quality. We identify 304 constrained entrepreneurs who start a business after receiving windfall wealth and examine the performance of these marginal entrepreneurs. We find that constrained entrepreneurs have significantly lower survival rates and lower profits when compared with a matched sample of unconstrained entrepreneurs. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the marginal entrepreneur is of low quality. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8499

Abstract: We use a large, rich Canadian micro-level dataset to examine the channels through which family socio-economic status and unobservable characteristics a ect children's decisions to drop out of high school. First, we document the strength of observable socio-economic factors: our data suggest that teenage boys with two parents who are themselves high school dropouts have a 16% chance of dropping out, compared to a dropout rate of less than 1% for boys whose parents both have a university degree. We examine the channels through which this socio-economic gradient arises using an extended version of the factor model set out in Carneiro, Hansen, and Heckman (2003). Speci cally, we consider the impact of cognitive and non-cognitive ability and the value that parents place on education. Our results support three main conclusions. First, cognitive ability at age 15 has a substantial impact on dropping out. Second, parental valuation of education has an impact of approximately the same size as cognitive ability e ects for medium and low ability teenagers. A low ability teenager has a probability of dropping out of approximately .03 if his parents place a high value on education but .36 if their education valuation is low. Third, parental education has no direct e ect on dropping out once we control for ability and parental valuation of education. Our results point to the importance of whatever determines ability at age 15 (including, potentially, early childhood interventions) and of parental valuation of education during the teenage years. We also make a small methodological contribution by extending the standard factor based estimator to allow a non-linear relationship between the factors and a covariate of interest. We show that allowing for non-linearities has a substantial impact on estimated e ects. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8582

How To Realize Its Potential in the Organization FieldVolberda, Henk W.; Foss, Nicolai J.; Lyles, Marjorie A. (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The purpose of this Perspective Paper is to advance understanding of absorptive capacity, its underlying dimensions, its multi-level antecedents, its impact on firm performance and the contextual factors that affect absorptive capacity. Nineteen years after the Cohen and Levinthal 1990 paper, the field is characterized by a wide array of theoretical perspectives and a wealth of empirical evidence. In this paper, we first review these underlying theories and empirical studies of absorptive capacity. Given the size and diversity of the absorptive capacity literature, we subsequently map the existing terrain of research through a bibliometric analysis. The resulting bibliometric cartography shows the major discrepancies in the organization field, namely that (1) most attention so far has been focused on the tangible outcomes of absorptive capacity; (2) organizational design and individual level antecedents have been relatively neglected in the absorptive capacity literature; and (3) the emergence of absorptive capacity from the actions and interactions of individual, organizational and inter-organizational antecedents remains unclear. Building on the bibliometric analysis, we develop an integrative model that identifies the multi-level antecedents, process dimensions, and outcomes of absorptive capacity as well as the contextual factors that affect absorptive capacity. We argue that realizing the potential of the absorptive capacity concept requires more research that shows how "micro antecedents" and "macroantecedents" influence future outcomes such as competitive advantage, innovation, and firm performance. In particular, we identify conceptual gaps that may guide future research to fully exploit the absorptive capacity concept in the organization field and to explore future fruitful extensions of the concept.

Who Cooperates with Firms, and Why?Lotz, Peter; Davis, Lee (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Academic scientists are under increasing pressure to engage in more commercially "relevant" research, through either patenting and licensing research results, or research cooperations. This paper seeks to add to our understanding of academic-business collaborations (contract research, joint research, and consulting) by presenting preliminary results from a novel survey of academic researchers in the life sciences in Denmark. We seek to draw a "profile" of those researchers who cooperate, and why. Expressed in a different way, we would like to determine what researcher characteristics and competencies business, in practice, demands. Both university and hospital scientists were polled. Our most surprising finding is that there is a consistent and highly significant relationship between strong publication records and cooperation, across both researcher groups, and for all forms of cooperation. Our results underline that it is important that scientists be permitted – indeed, encouraged – to continue to operate within the norms of the academic community, where success is measured by the collegiate reputation-based reward system, thereby maintaining a clear division of labor between what scientists do best, and what business does best.

Abstract: In the paper, we use the theory of mechanism design to exhibit the cost of efficient provision of healthcare, defined as the uniquely defined sum of individual side payments which would eliminate moral hazard. It is argued that this cost may be used to assess the costs arising from use of the treatment in cases where it is not appropriate from a strictly medical point of view. An example is given to indicate how this assessment might enter into practical cost-effectiveness analysis. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7626

Abstract: This paper estimates the impact of accounting transparency on the term structure of CDS spreads for a large cross-section of rms. Using a newly developed measure of accounting transparency in Berger, Chen & Li (2006), we nd a downward-sloping term structure of transparency spreads. Estimating the gap between the high and low transparency credit curves at the 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10-year maturity, the transparency spread is insigni cant in the long end but highly signi cant and robust at 20 bps at the 1-year maturity. Furthermore, the eect of accounting transparency on the term structure of CDS spreads is largest for the most risky rms. These results are strongly supportive of the model by Du¢ e & Lando (2001), and add an explanation to the underprediction of short-term credit spreads by traditional structural credit risk models.

Issues of Ethics and Governance in Malaysia and ChinaBeh, LooSee (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper seeks to develop an understanding of the issues that public administrators should strive to provide in ethical practices and governance thus allowing distinctive administrative and social traditions that each country possess to flourish. Significant changes and continuities in the realm of government in contemporary China and Malaysia will be drawn upon. Recent developments have brought a sense of urgency in contrast to complacency with the status quo. This paper reviews pertinent administrative and ethic issues related to both countries and whether the administrators engage in sustaining the reform agenda while still maintaining the professional capacity and flexibility of administrators when re-delegating responsibly within changing institutional settings. public administration, state, policy, administrative reforms, governance URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7413

The Portraval of Beauty in Woman's Fashion MagazinesMoeran, Brian (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The primary contents of women's fashion magazines are fashion, beauty and health. This paper sets out to explore the ways in which international fashion magazines such as Elle, Vogue and Marie Claire portray feminine beauty in textual and advertising matter and how their readers react to such portrayals. Beauty is analysed as grooming practice, and make-up as the prime symbol of the self and its many facets in social interaction. The paper looks at the different kinds of 'face' that magazines invite their women readers to put on and suggests that they – and their advertisers – adopt a 'technology of enchantment' as a means of exercise control over them. Magazine and advertising language is imbued with 'magical' power, and the paper shows how the structure of advertisements closely parallels that of magical spells used in certain healing rituals. It concludes by using magazine reader interviews to learn the extent to which women do or do not believe in such 'spells' and whether they are encouraged to buy into the 'beauty myth'.

The Cultivation and Propagation of Aesthetic Experience after its Declaration of IndependenceRaffnsøe, Sverre (Frederiksberg, 2019)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: A spirit has been conjured up and walks about in the Occident: the genie of aestheticism. In our day, a decisive, overarching and comprehensive, turn to the aesthetic is making itself felt, particularly markedly in the parts of the world affected by and looking to Western ways of life, but similarly to different extents across the globe. As a result of this long-standing and sustained aesthetic turn, aesthetic perception and aesthetically creative activity have become ubiquitously present and momentous. An ongoing and probably long-lasting aesthetization manifests itself and becomes a matter of vital importance across a number of traditionally well-established divides; and this testifies to the fact that the aesthetic has begun to assume a substantial and increasing role and exert a decisive influence upon a number of practices, and in a number of spheres, where it used to have an essentially subordinate role.

Over two centuries ago, Britain and France fought a battle that would change the world. Now largely forgotten, the Battle of Quebec was once a story every schoolchild would have known. At stake was the future of North America and the fate of the British Empire.
Britain used its growing industrial strength and a new scientific approach to fight a campaign unlike any that had gone before. It launched a fleet of 200 ships carrying 20,000 men on a deadly mission through uncharted waters.
Dan Snow, an expert in this period of history having recently written a book about the expedition, sets sail up the magnificent St Lawrence River following the route taken by the British. He heads out into the wilds surrounding Quebec, takes to the air, and trains as an 18th-century infantryman, to get a true idea of what the campaign and battle would have been like for the men involved.
This period in history is best known as the setting for the Hollywood blockbuster Last of the Mohicans. Yet the events of that year, 1759, helped create the modern world and define Britain's place in history.

*rule base
Hi Jim,
I have worked in CP fW for the past 6 months and I am very much comfy in the dashboard and front ends. But the command line and the location of folders (like how we go and do snmp configs inside a ETC/X/X and all) I am really not getting confidence on it. Do you have any documents or point me to somewhere where can I get a Nice piece of info and get mastered on it ?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks, is there a CLI command to view the rules or policies like FW or CP ?
Do you know how to show rules or policies using CLI commands ?
I live in the Seattle area, so the nearest office to me is Bellevue. I suspect I will be lucky in that they will allow me to keep my current "work from home" arrangement I have with Nokia. At least that's what the conversations I've had suggest so far, but nothing is decided yet ;)

Artist's Description
A group of cheery ducklings floating happily in a pond. This watercolor and Chinese ink on rice paper painting is done by Mui-Joo Wee with simple brush strokes.
About Mui-Joo Wee
Mui-Joo Wee was born and raised in Singapore. She came to the United States to get her education and received her master degree in Social Work at University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. She started painting in 2003 and quickly became immersed in the process. In her paintings, whether it is a tree, a rock or a mountain, the subject becomes alive with distinct personality. Often, the result is accidental which makes it all the more joyous. Her free and loose style conveys movement and energy, and an impression of the spiritual essence in the ordinary. Her paintings are displayed at The Artists Gallery in down town Flagstaff, Arizona and Work of Artists in Scottsdale, Arizona.
