Space Needs Analysis
When you're not quite sure what to do with your current office space and are contemplating a reconfiguration or a possible move, call on our experts for a Space Needs Analysis. We'll take a close inventory of your current space, talk with you about future goals and anticipated changes, and provide a detailed report outlining our findings and recommendations.
You'll receive a thorough review of both work spaces and support spaces (such as conference rooms, reception areas, and break areas). Items addressed in the analysis include work groups and workstation needs, equipment inventory, storage and filing, privacy requirements, ergonomic considerations, appearance, and any other items specific to your business.
Office Furniture Analysis
Our project managers and designers have worked with just about every type of furniture system on the market. When you're wondering what type of system might best suit your needs, we will provide experienced, detailed information.
Whether you're looking for new or refurbished office furniture, Office Space Planners will assist you in making the right decision for your business.
New Office Space
When you're looking at new office space and evaluating your choices, we will meet you at your new office and provide ideas and options for the space. We can also provide a comparison analysis of multiple facilities.
Once you've decided on a location, OSP's designers and project managers will work with you to help determine your needs, goals, budget and the most effective method of accomplishing your project.
Our AutoCAD drawings provide illustrations that document every aspect of a room or building, including:
We provide detailed electrical, special mechanical, A/V, telecommunication and furniture requirement drawing packages for each room in the building to submit to your architectural firm. We also provide furniture selection and layout, power pole location calculation and design for the open office - then review power pole/ceiling conflict and resolve issues with an updated design.
If you need to make room in your existing office space for more staff to avoid leasing additional or new space, OSP's reconfiguration experts will help you make the most of the space you have. We'll provide information on the maximum number of work stations for your existing space, working with existing or new furniture. By handling all aspects of your reconfiguration, Office Space Planners enables your staff to continue with its regular duties, saving you time and money.
Our project managers have the experience necessary to estimate the cost of your project, set specific goals and deadlines, and coordinate the entire process. Office Space Planners will make sure your office space meets code requirements and has the proper city or county permits.

Dan Haftorson, Superintendent,
Property Management, NW Natural
"As Sentrol's Facilities Manager, I have found OSP's expertise at handling every aspect of our reconfiguration invaluable. OSP worked closely with our department heads, allowing me to optimize my time, both on the project and with the management of the building."
Jane Russell, Facilities Manager,
"Office Space Planners has provided a superior level of customer service in meeting our design and project management needs and has done so since 1988."
Joe Weber, Vice President,
Corporate Properties, Large National Bank
"Office Space Planners coordinated our move to a new facility. They handled every detail from beginning to end. Their color-coded drawings made the difference."
Kristie Bacon, Manager,
Leasing Office Services, Colonial Pacific
"Our company had less than two months to move 80 people into a new office that was still being remodeled. We called 5-6 different firms and made the decision to go with OSP. The customer service we received was impeccable. I knew I could count on my planner for anything, he even answered questions for me that were outside of his scope of work and referred me to the proper companies when necessary. He handled all of the floor plan work and took the time to understand our culture and tie it into our furniture and workflow. We moved in on time and under budget. The look on our employee's faced when they walked through the front door that day was priceless! Thank you OSP!"

Mail Bombs
By Turns Subversive and Stale, the Mail Art of "Blaster" is a Message from the Edge
At the Chela Gallery through Dec. 1
Local avant-everyman "Blaster" Al Ackerman draws this woman as if she were emblazoned across the cover of a midcentury pulp magazine. She's buxom, her fair skin, hair, and dress popping off the red background. But since this is Ackerman--a writer fond of the out-of-pocket bizarre--the image is not purely eros. And it's not just because of what she's holding in her hand. In the background behind her stand a line of frogs, stately as servants. She has cat ears--like Josie and the Pussycats cat ears--and her smile is a ludicrously exaggerated gap-toothed grin, her two lone front teeth separated enough to pass a corn cob through sideways. Red lettering screams from a yellow banner across the top, Here, have a turd. In the bottom right corner of the image, "31¢" sits inscribed in a circle.
It's that little value tag that defines Ackerman's art--as a drawing for a sheet of mock postage stamps--for better and worse. For the past 30 years, Ackerman has been involved in mail art, and from the moment you walk into his retrospective show at the Chela Gallery in Canton, its sheer volume threatens to overwhelm you. Mostly unframed, it is tacked, taped, and otherwise affixed to the gallery's walls, hanging from strings running between poles, and bound in binders on a table. They number 400-plus, which is but a fragment of his total output. It ranges from stamps, envelopes, paintings, collages, zines, leaflets, articles, single-panel illustrations qua comics, a calendar, sketch notes, postcards, and miscellaneous other items that cascade around in the room like the visible spectrum run amok. As with staring at the collected volumes of Anaïs Nin's diaries, however, confronting even this sample of Ackerman's works leaves you wondering what seizes your interest--the quality of the work itself or the single-minded devotion that produced it.
Taken one at a time, the pieces read as impish and momentarily amusing distractions. Ackerman employs and appropriates as many visual styles as he does media. And his vocabulary reveals that he is very much a product of his time. Many of his drawings embrace a naughty sense of humor in the rough-hewn lines of 1960s underground comics. (For "Fur-Burger," he renders a woman--with the aforementioned gap-toothed smile--in pen and ink holding a slightly hirsute hamburger.) He uses bright, solid colors and the straight-ahead graphic design style of household product packaging. His collages gleefully juxtapose and layer images. Overall, the works are a splatter of ideas, media, and color that gleefully showcase Ackerman's witty intelligence, a conflagration of 20th-century pop imagery refracted through a mind that knows James Joyce from Joyce Brothers, Kafka from Cocoa Puffs.
But Ackerman's work is best--and perhaps only--understood in the the context of mail art. New York artist Ray Johnson, who spent some formative years at the happening Black Mountain College in the '40s, is generally considered the big bang of mail art; he amassed a rather large list of recipients, sent them collages and other peculiar objets d'art liberally infused with his beloved verbal and visual puns. People in the network started responding in kind, using aliases (a practice that continues today; one of Ackerman's many being "Blaster," by which he is now renown), and over time, the correspondences created a network, a limited audience for their art that existed outside the conventional gallery system, mirthfully defying the normal consumer-to-commodity relationship between art and audience.
All of which remained relatively underground until 1972, when San Francisco Chronicle art critic Thomas Albright published "New Art School: Correspondence Art" in Rolling Stone, where Ackerman first encountered the practice. Albright included a number of mail artists' names and addresses; Ackerman reached out to a few and was soon hooked.
Some of his 1970s and early 1980s contacts blossomed into long-term relationships, and a number of them donated their Ackerman pieces (and, in some instances, a few of their own) to this show: Italian music critic Vittore Baroni, mail artist "Eerie" Billy Haddock, performance artist Andre Stitt, poet John Bennett, artist and scholar John Held Jr., mail artist Darlene Altschul, Duplex Planet publisher David Greenberger, performance artist Ames Montgomery (aka INEX), and locals John Berndt and (City Paper contributor) Rupert Wondolowski. Their involvement is a testament to the widespread social network--and the archival impetus--of the mail-art enterprise.
But seeing such a large sample of mail art in a gallery installation, though entertaining, removes it from its defining context. No longer a surprise found in the mailbox, Ackerman's works when exhibited resemble that most traditional art entity--an oeuvre--and, as such, they're subject to the sort of critical scrutiny under which they don't weather. En masse, Ackerman's trickster humor feels one-dimensional--Why the gap-toothed smile? Why the litany of puns? Why the obvious jokes? He is obviously technically skilled, but the ideas behind the imagery aren't as clearly drawn.
Furthermore, the works themselves feel dated, and haven't aged as well as other underground art of its era, such as the homemade zines and flyers of Raymond Pettibon. That outmoded waft is partly due to mail art's insular existence; Ackerman comes across as still fighting the same sensibilities that Johnson reacted against in mail art's nascent stages. Even his '90s output on view reads like it's about the '60s and '70s, with its familiar and easily hit satirical targets: homogenous corporate culture, sexual and scatological taboos, the commodification of aesthetics, and generally rattling easily agitated "squares."
Those things are definitely worth rallying against, but other media--installation and performance art, for example--achieve the same end with a more resonant power. At worst, Ackerman's collected works feel like they bear only the joke-laden veneer of the "subversive." At best, they are as picturesque, nostalgic, and sentimental as a book of family photos--even if that family comes from one man's wonderfully and endlessly original mind, unfettered by commercial or popular acclaim.

The Lincoln Public School district says its enrollment grew 1.8% this year to a new record high. The official enrollment number for the 2011-2012 school year stands at 36,485. Enrollment has grown 9.2% over the past five years.
In its official news release on the subject, LPS turned the announcement into one of those dreaded math questions. If the student population of LPS were a city, where would it rank in the state in terms of size? The answer: Fifth. It would be behind Omaha, Lincoln, Bellevue, and Grand Island.
Of course, if you add the notion that Memorial Stadium becomes the state's second largest city on home game days, then that would put LPS in sixth place.
Lincoln Southeast High school is the largest high school in LPS with 1,983 students. That's a 10.3% increase since 2010. Lincoln East High School has the smallest enrollment at 1,377.

main index
David Gonterman, aka Daveykins, FoxFire, or David Foxfire, is a fan-fiction author and artist who is known mainly for the controversial "American Kitsune" fan fiction story and the furry themed FoxFire/Scarlet P.I. webcomic series.Dating back to 1995, he has produced a number of mind-numbingly convoluted fan fiction X-Over stories. His stories involve Sailor Moon, Power Rangers, and Sonic the Hedgehog series, which in his fan-fiction universe all take place at the same time. King of the self-insert fan fic, he was one of the first Sailor Moon fan fiction writers to insert himself as Serena's one true love. He also gained infamy among fans of the show's gay cast members; in one of his more infamous stories ("American Kitsune"), they died at his character's hands while his insert character made a homophobic rant justifying their deaths. He is also notoriously thin-skinned (he once wrote a story where he beat up poor Mary Jo Pehl of Mystery Science Theater 3000 fame, who had the misfortune of being a stand-in for his legion of critics).He has also created a furry-themed webcomic series called "FoxFire", which was later retooled into "Scarlet P.I." He also created a guest strip◊ for It's Walky!. (David Willis himself created a guest strip for Gonterman as well, but the former considers their strip-swap an Old Shame)He seems to attend the Shoji Kawamori school of continuity, i.e. pick and choose whatever you want from the previous stories and throw the rest out. As such, readers of his work should expect Kudzu Plots.Easily as notorious in the 90s and early 2000s as Christian Weston Chandler is today, he's managed to fade from the public eye, mostly by growing up substantially in the intervening years and just being outright outdone by the aforementioned...individual.
open/close all folders
The Davey Crockett Trilogy
A trilogy of tangentially linked stories incorporating the character of David "Davey Crockett" Kintobor into the world of Sonic the Hedgehog.The Piasa MonsterBlood and MetalSailor Moon: American KitsuneThe most infamous story of his works. Sailor Moon meets Power Rangers meets Sonic the Hedgehog meets anything else Gonterman could think of at the time. Davie meets Sailor Moon and the Power Rangers and rants about how he hates gay people while gleefully murdering the gay villains from Sailor Moon.
Scarlet P.I.
Two separate but interrelated strips. The first series, which was named FoxFire, ran for 240 strips before being dropped without a resolution. After a recent comic convention, Jim Goodlow comes home to find a package with a female fursuit in it. He's surprised to find out that it's a sentient creature and needs to a symbiotic relationship to survive. Hilarity Ensues as the suit (originally named Susan, before being changed to Scarlet) becomes Jim's crime fighting alter ego as he continues his career as a professional cartoonist. Things get a little confusing from that point on.In 2004, a total Re Tool and reboot was started under the name of Scarlet PI, with there being 123 strips. Jim Goodlow reappears, but is changed from a cartoonist to a prodigy cop that can't get a job. (Interestingly enough, he's also Straight Gay, but it instead just feels like repentance on Gonterman's part.) After failing to find a job, he happens upon a box dumped near his apartment. It contains an advanced prototype female fox fursuit, which was created by a corrupt corporation (not an Alien Invasion this time, Benevolent or not). Of course, he leaps right into it due to wanting to seduce men, investigating the corporation as an obligatory exchange.
The Packbellverse
These stories and comics initially seem unrelated, but they are set in the same universe- there are many crossovers of the various characters in other stories. Most of them incorporate the character of Adam Packbell, if at least only tangentially.Lost Boy FoundA self-published Peter Pan fanfic about a Lost Boy named Adam Packbell. The advertising blurb claims that it is "equal parts autobiography, adventure story, and Shrek-style parody of every recent novel set in Neverland including the official sequel". Adam Packbell is a central character in many of the Planewalker-verse comics and books.Night SoldiersA Sailor Moon inspired story about a young witch in a southern community. After Sue "comes out of the broom closet", life goes well for her as everybody accepts it. However, her lifestyle is threatened: when a succubus attacks and kills a couple people, she is the only one able to stop it. It abruptly ends before she starts her journey, so what happens is unknown. Like Fauna Force, this was meant to steal the audience from its source of inspiration.Baka BreakersThe plotless adventures of a robotic foxgirl and her boyfriend. Difficult to describe.Livewire LatteA continuation of Baka Breakers, with Adam Packbell (See Lost Boy Found- it's the same character) running a coffee shop in a small town roughly 70 miles from Vegas, or 'Sin City' as Gonterman loves calling it. Primarily a Slice of Life comic, except for the android catgirl Tara and the anthropomorphic mice running around; as well as the hints to Adam's magical side. Arguably half-decent for the first three dozen pages or so, precisely due to its less ambitious, slice-of-life style... at least until the Token Minority Japanese girl comes in.PlaneswalkerAn original story based loosely on Magic: The Gathering done in a Magical Girl style. In ancient times, a portal between Earth and Dominaria was briefly opened and then sealed off, leaving behind artifacts which contained the souls of mages. In modern times, a young girl named Jamie came in contact with one of these books and was infused with a spirit of a Planeswalker. The symbiotic creature now acts as a paragon of justice... when not just being a giant Jerkass. Adam Packbell appears in a Yu-Gi-Oh!-esque tournament based on Magic, and Richard Kronos and Sue from Night Soldiers appear in the audience.
Other Gonterman Works
Fauna Force issues one, two and three.Gonterman's response to Sonic the Hedgehog, Fauna Force starred Johnathan Brisby, originally introduced in the Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers/The Secret Of NIMH crossover story The Rangers of NIMH. Johnathan, an accomplished street magician, stumbles upon the Animaster, an evil lion who has recently turned a small cadre of humans into animals via a process known as 'furricization' (a none-too-subtle play on roboticization from the Sonic universe) and takes them in to form a team that can fight against the Animaster. It was intended to "steal" the audience from Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog...The Kissing ContestAn inept Disney Script Fic of sorts, which includes Gonterman's self-insert being praised by Disney executives as an insightful genius for portraying Pocahontas as a "donamatrix" in his fanfiction and a paragraph-long sidenote about how none of the Disney characters actually died in their films.Kitsune .44Scott Trucker, a Texas Ranger, gets sent back in time to Feudal Japan after a tornado scoops him up. He becomes part of a war against another time traveler that has taken over a sizable portion of Japan. As the site hosting the comic points out, the self-insert isn't named after Gonterman this time, but the hairstyle is a dead giveaway.NiGHTS: The Third DreamerA rare Gontercomic about NiGHTs: Into Dreams, ostensibly a spinoff from Archie's own NiGHTs miniseries.. The plot does not seem to exist until about two pages before the comic abruptly stops, when the titular 'third dreamer' is revealed. Notable for containing the most strangely rugged Gonterman insert known to date. Who beats Charles Barkley in a one-on-one basketball game and dunks right over his head. Seriously. He also has an uncanny resemblance◊ to Ali Al-Saachez of Gundam 00 fame.

We can quit wondering where General Motors is heading with Buick. Maybe. If rumors dusting up from GM Inside News are to be believed, company leadership has the Tri-Shield's sights trained solidly on Lexus. We all know that the 2010 Buick LaCrosse was positioned as the answer to the Lexus ES 350, but supposedly, GM is aiming even higher and cooking up a Zeta-based sedan to go head-to-head with the Lexus LS. If you believe the hype, design work has already been given the go-ahead, but production ihas yet to receive an official OK from up top. Details are predictably scarce, but GM Inside News claims that the styling is sharp as can be.
Interestingly enough, the Zeta platform that would provide the basis for the rumored big Buick isn't exactly the same as the one underpinning the mega-Holdens prowling Australia (or the Caprice soon to be cruising your local donut shop, or the Buick Park Avenue that's already sold in China). Instead, GMI says that the luxe Buick will be built upon something called the Premium Zeta Platform, and that the oft-rumored Cadillac flagship will use the same bones. Sounds great, but until we hear something official from The General, we won't start holding our collective breath.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- We're a little more than a week away from Election Day and on Saturday voters had the chance to hear from one of the candidates vying for the seat in the 16th Congressional District.
David Hale who's running on the republican ticket against incumbent Adam Kinzinger took part in the candidate forum at the Rockford Public Library.
He had the chance to tell voters why he's running before tackling some of the issues most important to us. Some of the questions voters had centered around clean energy and the national debt.
"I'm concerned about the debt and carrying that on to our children. I don't think it's fair and I think we need to do something about that and it's very important that we need to reel in the debt," Voter Jennifer Ray, said.
Kinzinger didn't attend the forum.

Anna Larsen
Needham, Ma
Anna Larsen was born in March of 2000. She started
playing the piano when she was three. Anna has an excellent ear for
music. We later figured out she has absolute perfect pitch as well as a
very good memory. No one else in the family has this ability. Anna
started lessons with Fani Liao and Sachiko Isihara at the Suzuki School
of Newton. In 2008, she began studying piano with A Ramon Rivera at the
New England Conservatory and composition with Alla Cohen. Last fall,
Anna was chosen as one of the first three scholars of the Lang Lang
Foundation. His mentoring has been fabulous, and we cannot say enough
good things about him as an inspiration, teacher, and role model. Anna
hopes to be like him someday. Anna has also been mentored by Elena
Rossman from the AADGT.
Below is Anna with Lang Lang.
Anna Larsen performs Bach Prelude and Fugue in F minor (WTC 1) - July 2014

Last fall, Anna was a scholarship winner from the Lang
Lang Foundation (http://www.thelanglangfoundation.org/). This week,
Anna Larsen and Derek Wang, another winner, had a lesson with Lang Lang
at M. Steinert & Sons in Boston the day after his amazing concert
at Symphony Hall. Anna worked on the third movement of Mozart's Piano
Concerto 23 in A major. Anna was a little nervous at first, and you can
see her absolute focus at the end of this clip when he wanted her to
stop! Lang Lang was able to help her relax, and helped her make the
piano sing in a way I have never heard from her before. He was
extremely helpful, insightful, and very good talking and relating to
kids. His teaching style was very friendly and very intense, and his
advice was very frank in a good constructive way. The lesson was about
30 minutes long. Many thanks to Lang Lang!

seem a little tense.
Mozart Piano Concerto No. 23, third movement
Bach - French Suite
The New England Conservatory hosted a series of recitals to
celebrate Haydn's 200th death day (to borrow a term from JK Rowling).
In this series, they recruited NEC students and prep students to play
ALL of Haydn's known keyboard sonatas. Anna was one of several prep
students selected to play in just one of 8 recitals. Anna was assigned
this small sonata, which I think is HOB 20. We were amused that several
people in the audience fell sound asleep and accompanied the performers
with audible snores! As much as I love Anna's playing, I sympathize
with their verdict. Two hours of Haydn is not for your average
audience. Hardcore musicologists, no doubt, find it far more exciting.
Anna composed this Suite for entry in the ASCAP competition. There are three movements:(1) Afternoon Stroll(2) The Loss(3) TwirlingThis suite is in sonata type form. She composes first, and then thinks of appropriate titles later.The programmatic aspect is therefore slightly artificial from how she actually writes the music.Anna's
music is melodic and tonal with shifts in key. As such, some judges
have labeled it "conventional". I think it means that it sounds nice
and doesn't have random wrong notes scattered around for artificial
effect. :^)
Anna performed this in Spring 2008. Left hand booms a little bit on this piano.
In addition to celebrating Haydn's 200th death day, the New
England Conservatory also chose to honor Villa Lobos's "death day" with
special concerts featuring his works. Anna learned this piece for the
event. It was by far the strangest she has ever learned! The numerous
accidentals and atonality make it harder to learn, since it defies a
lot of her intuitive musical logic. It also has very strange rhythmic
shifts where (for example) he writes 3 "half notes" as a triplet in 4:4
time! Conducting was a nightmare. We'll try to get a better recording
at some point.
Anna Larsen performed this E minor sonata in
Lincoln 2 weeks ago along with Beethoven's Tempest sonata and Mozart's
piano concerto in A major. This third movement is fun to play! Hope you
Anna Larsen performed this sonata in a recital in Lincoln
Nebraska. This piece is still a work in progress and she has already
improved since then. It was a marathon recital for her with all three
movements of the Tempest, a Haydn sonata, and the Mozart concerto No.
23. This was the longest program she ever did live in one sitting!

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A Las Vegas woman is suing an online dating service for nearly $10 million, claiming it set her up with a man who brutally attacked her.
Mary Kay Beckman, in her lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas, accuses Match.com of failing to disclose the dangers of online dating.
Company officials didn't immediately return phone calls.
According to the complaint, Match.com's advertising lulls women and men into a false sense of security and the dating service is unsafe.
Beckman broke off her relationship with Wade Ridley after only knowing him for eight days.
Ridley acknowledged to police that he later attacked her with a knife in January 2011, then stomped on her head and neck.
Ridley was sentenced for the crime and died in prison last year.

The National Science Foundation has awarded a $300K EArly concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) to support an interdisciplinary team of OU faculty led by Jeff Kelly. Eli Bridge is a co-PI, together with S. Lakshmivarahan and Le Gruenwald in Computer Science and Phillip Chilson in Meteorology. The research will advance the use of radar for answering fundamental questions about the diversity, distribution, and abundance of animals in the aerosphere.
Cindy Gordon, Heather Ketchum, and Ingo Schlupp have each been named a National Academies Education Fellow in the Life Sciences for the 2013-2014 academic year. This honor was bestowed "by virtue of their selection to and enthusiastic participation in the 2013 National Academies Gulf Coast Summer Institute on Undergraduate Science Education that was held July 22-26, 2013 at Louisiana State University." http://www.academiessummerinstitute.org/

Dr. Larry Weider, Professor of Biology, and colleagues at Oklahoma State University (P.D. Jeyasingh) and the Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM, M. Edlund) have secured significant funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF-IOS-OEI) for a 3-year project entitled "Collaborative Research: A millennial-scale chronicle of organism-environment interactions resulting in microevolutionary physiological and genomic shifts in Daphnia" (total project costs of $872,717; OU component is $314,849). Weider and colleagues will combine resurrection ecology of long-dormant (i.e. decades, centuries-old) resting eggs of the important aquatic herbivore zooplankter, Daphnia pulicaria, with Next-Generation-Genomic Sequencing methods, quantitative genetics, experimental physiological ecology, and paleolimnological techniques to examine the underlying role of environmental change (i.e. nutrient enrichment) in impacting the evolutionary dynamics of physiological and genomic shifts in this herbivore. Resurrected genotypes separated by thousands of generations of evolution in the wild will be examined. This is an ideal model system to better understand the evolutionary consequences of rapid global environmental change. In partnership with the SMM, the project will be part of the NSF-sponsored award-winning SCIENCE BUZZ (www.sciencebuzz.org) online exhibits that blends up-to-the-minute science news linked through digital feeds utilizing RSS technology with traditional museum interactive, experiences, text- and object-based displays, reaching potentially 500,000-800,000 individuals per year.

Professor Mike Kaspari was one of three OU-Norman faculty honored with a George Lynn Cross Research Professorship at the OU Faculty Tribute on 18 April 2013. Mike received this award in recognition of his sustained record of distinguished scholarly contributions in ecology. This is the highest honor the university bestows to its faculty for creative activity.

We are proud to share the news that Rachel Hartnett, a biology graduate student in the EEB program, was notified that she will receive a 2013 Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation. These are highly competitive, three-year awards for graduate students early in their programs. This is the second year in a row that a graduate student in the department has received one of these highly coveted awards.
Rachel is working with Dr. Larry Weider toward a PhD. She received her BS degree in Biology at UT Austin. In her PhD research, she is interested in life-stages of Daphnia populations (i.e. juvenile and adult instars) and how different populations might change their demographic structure in response to abiotic and biotic pressures. She is also interested in how changes in life-stage structure may impact community networks.
At the March 2013 Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society meeting, Biology Presidential Professor Caryn Vaughn was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for singular accomplishments and long-term contributions that have advanced the conservation and science of freshwater mollusks at a national and international level. This is the highest honor that this society gives, and Dr. Vaughn is the first woman to have received the award.

Associate Professor David McCauley is an author on a recent landmark paper describing the sequence of the lamprey genome that was recently published in Nature Genetics. OU had multiple roles in the project. In addition to Dr. McCauley's contributions, Sandy Clifton (who is now back at OU at the Advanced Center for Genome Technology), contributed to project management at the Genome Institute, Washington University School of Medicine. For more information, see this news release on the College of Arts and Sciences web site: Sea Lamprey Genome Mapped With Help From Scientists at OU
January 2013
This spring, students in BIOL 1121 Introductory Biology and BIOL 4653 Parasitology will be using brand-new stereomicroscopes. In fall 2012, the department replaced ~75 stereomicroscopes and 3 projection stereomicroscopes (for displaying work to the entire class) for three of our teaching labs.
Many of the microscopes that were replaced were originally purchased in the 1960s and 1970s and were at the end of their useful service. This purchase was funded in part through a portion of the course fees that students pay for these lab courses. However, it would not have been possible without additional very generous funding from the College of Arts and Sciences. Please join the department in thanking Dean Paul Bell for his support. We are looking forward to putting these microscopes to good use this semester!

Looking out across the snowy pines and down the wintry slopes of the ski mountain, you can't help but smile. This is Maine's best-kept secret: the adventures and activities that are only available during winter.
If you live for the chilly thrill of winter sports, you'll love Maine in the winter. Over 200 inches of snow fall here annually, ensuring that you'll have the ideal winter wonderland. Snowboard, snowshoe, snowmobile, or just come to relax by a crackling fireplace at a ski-in, ski-out lodge or cabin. Cross-country skiing allows the winter traveler to Maine a chance to glide over the snow-blanketed forests, while downhill skiing provides an icy shot of adrenaline.
If you love winter for its ability to provide hours of quiet reflection and the chance for serenity, a walk along one of Maine's trails or a winter hike will bring you your moment of Zen. Maine's Huts and Trails organization is an excellent resource for planning your trail adventure.
There are winter recreation areas like the Sunday River Resort, Sugarloaf, and Saddleback. There are mid-size mountains throughout the state, and one of the world's best toboggan runs at the Camden Snow Bowl. Maine also has 14,000 miles of snowmobile trails including the well-groomed and well-marked Interconnected Trail System (ITS).
Dogsledding is a bucket-list item you can cross off during your Maine winter getaway, with the assistance of a Registered Maine Guide. Oceanfront hiking trails remain warmer in the winter thanks to the circulating waters of the Atlantic Ocean, leaving them open for wintry exploration.
Winter holds all kinds of surprises and excitement here, and a chance to experience the beauty of Maine under a hushed snowcapped cover.
It's fun, unexpected, and authentically Maine.

Crooks!!!! Do not send your child here unless you want to be ripped off and slapped in the face. Heather the owner/operator refused to refund our 315 dollars after we told her we would be moving and our child would no longer be able to attend. There is a waiting list for this preschool, and she still would not provide us with a refund. We asked if we could gift the "spot" to someone we know and she said that this was "unacceptable". I smell a peoples court....
After arriving a few minutes early to pick my three year old up from Acorn and finding him in the play yard by himself. I could no longer allow him to attend. When addressing my concerns to Heather, the owner/operator. I felt her to be condescending. She had agreed, considering the circumstances, to refund my deposit but later refused. I advise all to stay clear of Acorn.
My grandson has been at this preschool since he turned two years old. When he first came to live with us he wasn't speaking, eating like a two year old. And had many other social cancerns now it is March and boy what a different child he is today. He talks so much and is always counting and saying his ABC's and he has only been at this school for 8 month. I will say the staff in room 6 have been so helpful for me and my grandson. I also know it takes school and families to work together to change the life of a child. Acorn preschool and Pre-K classrooms staff don't get the credit they should. It takes a special person to work with this age of children all day and teach them on top of it.I only wish we all could walk in their shoes for a day.
Great School. Heather pre-K class is the best!

Mauritania Votes
Mauritania, a predominately Arab country that straddles North and West Africa, will hold legislative and local government elections on November 23 (first round) and December 7 (second round), which will be the country's first full elections since 2006. These elections will replace officials of the national assembly and local governments (i.e. communes) who have continued to carry out their duties even though their elected terms ended, constitutionally, in 2012.
Since gaining independence from France, Mauritania has had a turbulent history: the country's first president and university graduate, Moktar Ould Daddah, who assumed power in 1960, was ousted by a military coup in 1978. Subsequently, Mauritania was rocked by several additional coups: in 1979, 1980, and 1984. In 1984, a general-cum-president -- Maaouya Sid' Ahmed Ould Taya -- asserted control and constructed a dominant regime party, le Parti Républicain Démocratique et Social (PRDS). Akin to Egypt's National Democratic Party, the PRDS dominated Mauritanian politics for the next 21 years until 2005, when Taya was deposed in a putsch led by two of his closest military advisors, Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz and Ely Ould Mohamed Vall.
Working with a committee of other generals, Abdel Aziz and Vall pledged to democratize Mauritania and enhance its stability. They held elections in 2006 to form the legislature and communes, and also scheduled a presidential election for 2007. The elections were deemed free and fair, and the presidential contest featured vigorous competition between Mohamed Ould Sidi Cheikh Abdallahi, a World Bank economist, and Ahmed ould Daddah, the brother of Mauritania's first president. The military split in its loyalty for the two candidates during the 2007 presidential election: Abdel Aziz backed Abdallahi, whereas Vall supported Daddah. In a near electoral tie, the former defeated the latter and became Mauritania's first president after the 2005 coup. A consensus developed among policymakers, academics, and other observers that Mauritania was the Arab world's first case of democratization, creating hope that it might be a bellwether for other states.
Mauritania's experiment with democracy was short lived, however. In August 2008, President Abdel Aziz removed his elected predecessor in a surprise coup. Speculations swirled about Nouakchott, Mauritania's capital city, that Abdel Aziz had orchestrated Abdallahi's electoral success to facilitate his own eventual rise to power. The Arab League and African Union condemned the military's ouster of the elected, civilian government. Once he solidified his control, Abdel Aziz pledged to authenticate his rule by election. He did this in a 2009 presidential election, which was non-competitive, largely symbolic.
Postponed several times since Abdel Aziz's coup, Mauritania's upcoming legislative and local elections will be the first full elections held since 2006. The stakes and significance of the elections are high. Two parties, allied closely with Abdel Aziz, are poised for victory. These parties are the Union Pour la République (UPR) and a second youth-oriented party, the Parti du Sursaut de la Jeunesse (or Mobilized Youth for the Nation). Created in 2008, the UPR was Abel Aziz's party for the 2009 presidential election. In 2011, Lalla Mint Cherif, minister of culture, youth, and sport as well as a close ally of the president, founded Mobilized Youth. Observers speculated that the regime tasked Mint Cherif to form Mobilized Youth to rival, divide, and weaken Mauritania's youth protest movement, the February 25th Movement. Signaling his support for these two parties, Abdel Aziz recently told close associates that his "heart" favors Mobilized Youth for the election, while his "mind" is with the UPR.
The rise to electoral prominence of these two regime parties is reminiscent of the success of another loyalist party in Mauritania's northern neighbor, Morocco. In 2008, Morocco witnessed the development of a powerful, new party founded by the king's close friend and former deputy interior minister, Fouad Ali al-Himma. Himma's Party of Authenticity and Modernity swept Morocco's 2009 communal elections with a unique electoral strategy, known as the "campaign of thickness." This strategy prioritized maximizing the quantity of candidates without considering their quality. Himma's party recruited candidates who had strong local ties with voters, but it did not examine their political ideologies or campaign platforms closely. Many of the regime party's strongest candidates were co-opted from other parties, especially in rural districts.
Like Himma's party in Morocco, Mauritania's two regime parties seem to be practicing a similar "campaign of thickness" for these elections. For the local election, the UPR has submitted electoral lists of candidates for all 218 communes, whereas Mobilized Youth has formed lists for 95 communes. Given that the two parties have never competed in a previous communal election, the successful formation of this number of electoral lists across all of Mauritania must have been a major organizational feat (and suggestive of regime complicity). Like Himma's party in Morocco, the UPR has also practiced co-optation: many of its top leaders, especially communal mayors, were former members of Taya's dominant regime party.
Mauritania's opposition, which includes leftists, nationalists, unionists, and civil society organizations, has rejected invitations to compete in the upcoming elections. The opposition parties' activism is united within an alliance, known as the Coordination de l'Opposition Démocratique (COD). The COD built itself off a previous alliance among the opposition parties called le Front National de Défense de la Démocratie (FNDD), which emerged in 2008 to organize protests in opposition to the 2008 military coup. The COD has already planned anti-election activities, including an automobile protest held in Nouakchott earlier this week and several rallies in towns within Mauritania's interior provinces that will commence next Sunday. Mustafa ould Badr al-Din, a top opposition leader, announced recently that the COD aims to use the boycott to pressure Abdel Aziz's regime to grant more concessions and to relinquish new powers.
Unlike the other opposition parties of the COD, Mauritania's Muslim Brotherhood -- the Tawassoul Party -- has chosen to compete in the elections. Legalized in 2007, Mauritania's Islamist party has an ambiguous relationship with the regime of Abdel Aziz. The Islamist party was one of the strongest members of the FNDD that resisted the 2008 coup: Indeed, the agreement for the opposition alliance was signed in Tawassoul's headquarters, and its secretary general -- Jamil Mansour -- served as the FNDD's first rotating president. Yet, Tawassoul defected from the FNDD to form an electoral alliance with the UPR for the 2009 partial elections, which replaced 17 of 56 senators in Mauritania's upper chamber. But once the Arab Spring broke out, the Islamists reversed this strategy and rejoined the COD by publishing a condemnation of Abdel Aziz's presidency -- Reform Before It's Too Late. Released in February 2011, the report lambasted the president's "individualistic way" of running the state, "whereby all decisions have been concentrated in his hands alone." Now, however, the Islamists seem to have parted ways with the COD again, choosing to compete in the upcoming elections rather than boycotting them. It will be interesting to see whether Mauritania's Islamists will secure the electoral success that other Islamist movements have achieved, notably in Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco, or if the "modest harvest" of Islamist-led democratization in the post-Arab Spring era will undermine Tawassoul's electoral prospects.

|Cedar Park Town Center Breaks Ground
Cedar Park, Texas — The Ainbinder Co. and Costco Wholesale Inc. have broken ground on Cedar Park Town Center, a 49-acre retail project located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 183A and Whitestone Boulevard in Cedar Park, just north of Austin. Seventeen acres of the land will house a 154,000-square-foot Costco warehouse. The center is expected to include over 350,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space upon completion. Phase I of the project will open this fall, including tenants In-N-Out Burger and BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse.
Rodger Anderson and Neal Kieschnik of UCR's Austin office represented Ainbinder, and Steve McArthur of Northwest Atlantic, along with David Darr of The Place Commercial Real Estate in San Antonio, represented Costco in the transaction. Lee Mitchell and Zack Harris of Whitney Bank in Houston are providing construction financing. Hermes Architects of Houston and Mulvanny G2 of Bellevue are the architects for the complex, Kimley-Horn is the project engineer and Parkes Construction is the project's general contractor.

I currently teach at Form Yoga in Atlanta, GA. I conduct yoga privates, private groups, and lead retreats. A little about myself: My passion in life and yoga is making the impossible possible. My yoga instruction weaves the experiences of life together with an alignment-based style of Vinyasa using verbal cues that invite you to move deeper into your postures. My philosophy is that yoga and life have a symbiotic nature, and through yoga we can all find more joy, freedom, courage, patience, better relationships, stability, creativity, compassion and clarity in our lives.
In classes, I creates an environment that is focused, fun, comfortable, and open for growth and exploration. This growth will be playfully explored through funky music, creative sequencing and encouragement leading to your fullest expression of the postures. Beginning each class, I invites students to set a personal intention to embody throughout the practice, and to carry that intention with them through the day. I am deeply fascinated with the authenticity and grace that we all hold so true and cultivate on the mat as we practice Asana.

Arsenic is a poison that can contaminate drinking water. The Federal Government sets limit on how much is allowed in bottled and municipal water, but it puts no limits on arsenic in juice.
Of the 88 samples Consumer Reports analyzed, ten percent had arsenic levels that exceeded federal standards for bottled water.
One likely source of the contamination is pesticides containing arsenic were used in agriculture. Even though most are banned now, they remain in the soil.
The advocacy arm of Consumer Reports is urging the Food and Drug Administration to set standards for juice.
The Juice Products Association told Consumer Reports: "We are committed to providing nutritious and safe fruit juices and will comply with the limits established by the Food and Drug Administration."
For now, Consumer Reports says the best advice is for parents to limit how much juice your children drink.

Abstract: The article first argues that there is a range of approaches and models developed in relation to the question of representing ethnic minorities and migrants when it comes to trade union strategies. There is no single model. Instead, there is a variety of approaches and politics, just as there are with a `traditionally established workforce'. Second, this study finds that the understanding of ethnic minority needs varies and the politics of this must be central to any discussion, as one cannot read off assumptions about the issue from formal union strategies, traditional practices and established customs in relation to regulation. In effect, there is a politics of trade union responses and there is diversity in the way the `problem' is read and understood. Third, the article argues that the issue of minority ethnic workers raises questions of trade union identity and purpose. This points to much deeper issues related to the role of regulation and strategies of inclusion — and the extent to which they cohere. It also raises the issue of the configuration of strategies of social inclusion and on occasions how strategies ignore the broader issue of participation of those they seek to represent. To this extent the article is not exclusively about inclusion and exclusion — but about the politics and contradictory dynamics of inclusion. 2008-12-31T13:30:00Z Meanings and dilemmas in community unionism: trade union community initiatives and black and minority ethnic groups in the UK Lucio, M. Perrett, R. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/86174 2014-10-14T22:28:23Z 2008-12-31T13:30:00Z Title: Meanings and dilemmas in community unionism: trade union community initiatives and black and minority ethnic groups in the UK Author: Lucio, M.; Perrett, R. Abstract: The article shows that community initiatives take different forms and are the outcome of a broader interplay of factors between workers' interests, representation, and the strategies of unions and broader coalitions that are mobilized in specific communities. Drawing from three case studies on black and minority ethnic (BME) workers and trade unions in the UK the article looks at how the rhetoric of community unionism has been adopted in an uneven manner by trade unions: the article suggests that: (a) community initiatives are variable, (b) they lack a structure and clear vision, (c) the question of BME engagement is rarely central in many projects, and (d) the ambivalent role of the state is a significant factor in many of these initiatives. This state role is downplayed in much of the literature, thus raising dilemmas in terms of community initiatives. 2008-12-31T13:30:00Z Trade unions and relations with black and minority-ethnic community groups in the United Kingdom: the development of new alliances? Perrett, R. Lucio, M. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/86173 2014-10-14T22:27:39Z 2008-12-31T13:30:00Z Title: Trade unions and relations with black and minority-ethnic community groups in the United Kingdom: the development of new alliances? Author: Perrett, R.; Lucio, M. Abstract: The paper argues that the role of voluntary sector bodies in black and minority-ethnic (BME) communities is a missing factor in much of mainstream industrial relations and race and ethnicity debates. There are gaps between trade unions and organised community groups within BME communities. These are significant issues, which question some of the more optimistic analyses of the subject of union renewal in terms of community unionism. The space of BME representation is much more complex and diverse than that discussed in terms of individual worker needs. Questions of representation need to be addressed not solely in terms of formal representation but also of broader understandings of relations and perceptions between actors. This dovetails with the debate on the role of other actors in relation to representation within industrial relations. The paper ends with a discussion of how linkages between traditional and new industrial relations actors such as BME community groups and trade unions are constructed in a variety of unanticipated ways which require an understanding of the politics of BME groups, their regional dynamics and the way industrial relations is viewed. The paper is focused on the experiences of the United Kingdom. 2008-12-31T13:30:00Z Trade union learning strategies and migrant workers: policies and practice in a new-liberal environment Perrett, R. Lucio, M. McBride, J. Craig, S. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/86137 2014-10-13T23:21:36Z 2011-12-31T13:30:00Z Title: Trade union learning strategies and migrant workers: policies and practice in a new-liberal environment Author: Perrett, R.; Lucio, M.; McBride, J.; Craig, S. Abstract: This paper examines trade union networking and community-oriented activity through the recent development of learning strategies in relation to migrant workers. The paper locates the discussion on learning in relation to union attempts to develop a broader urban and community-based view of the union as an organisation. It assesses the innovative ways trade unions deploy their learning strategies given the challenges associated with a liberal market economy, in particular, in relation to poor levels of co-ordination amongst key social organisations and low levels of state commitment to the area of training. The paper draws on five empirical case studies of such innovative union approaches and concludes that many of these learning initiatives represent a significant intervention by unions in local urban and community-based contexts. However, it also notes that these appear to be disconnected from stable and consistent forms of local community-based organisation and, in part, remain enveloped in a marketised project-based approach which is piecemeal and in many aspects financially dependent on the state. 2011-12-31T13:30:00Z

Hmm, I actually think the prices are OK. You are right that it would be great to charge next to nothing to get the kids into the habbit of attending, but I bet the bank balance at Hampton isn't great. I go and watch Brentford usually, which only costs £20 to stand or £22 to sit. It isof course better quality football (sometimes!), but I think most people can afford that these days.
