Not like she´ll be on any TV courts any time soon? She is just losing badly to Johansson. Any player that aspires to threaten our ears on a consistent basis doesn´t lose that badly to a player of the calibre of Johansson in a Grand Slam.

Effective mentoring, pastoral care and support for apprentices 2012
Client: Group Training Australia
Together with Chris Lloyd of Wiyunga Pty. Ltd., the WRC conducted this research to understand and identify effective mentoring strategies within the Group Training realm. The research identified the various types of mentoring and pastoral support, governance and management structures, and whether the mentoring strategies varied in different constituent apprentice groups. The report seeks to develop a set of good practice principles that can be used to inform workplace practice and broader policy approaches to mentoring in the Group Training setting. The methodology involved key informant interviews and focus groups in order to develop a best practice typology.


text: This movie took the character into more depth and more realalistic view point. and becuase it s a remake you have to be open to some new idaes and have an open mind. People said the remake of Willy Wonka was bad, but if you read the book you would see both the remake and originale were verry closly relatedt to the book. The originale Feddy is tottaly classic horrer, but this a differant time period. Just as the originale Dracula and Frankenstien movies are classics, but they wouldnt work today on the big screen, in this time period here and now,with out some modifactions.They were scary then , but not now, because we have evolved, and live in a day of mass information, we expect more to frighten us and more to challenge us, because we know more about things and the way they work. Plus if you watch a remake , whats the point of remaking it if its exactly same?NEW DAY, NEW AGE! Thats the way its always worked. You may love the Diseny classic cartoon movies.[ ex. Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Jungle Book, Robin Hood] but they are verry far from the original stories, whitch in them selves were considerd classics. My rating-- good movie, very entertaing , more substance then the origanale classic, a little more to think about ,but more seriious, not as funny or campy as they say. But i would definatly recomend it

ParcelPoint gets a foot in the e-commerce deliveries door with online shopping returnsPUBLISHED: 05 Jun 2013 11:16:21 | UPDATED: 06 Jun 2013 08:25:06PRINT EDITION: 05 Jun 2013
Lightening the load ... ParcelPoint facilitates the return of purchases through a third-party location such as newsagent.
Michael Bleby
If you want to get into the online parcel delivery game, start with returns. That's what newcomer ParcelPoint is doing. Julian Leach, co-founder of a start-up that wants to cut Australia Post's lunch in the growing market for online deliveries says it's best to sign up retailers to handle their returns first – and then the deliveries themselves.
Two-year-old ParcelPoint has more than 20 online retailers signed up to use the service to manage customer returns, with just eight using it for deliveries and collections. Deals site Groupon Australia, for example, does a lot of its deliveries through Australia Post, but has signed up ParcelPoint to handle its returns.
"When people buy from Groupon, if they want to send something back it's ParcelPoint they use," Leach says.
Returns are an easier starting point as they require no changes to an online retailer's IT system. Retailers either pay the cost of a returned product or require the customer to pay it. In both cases, ParcelPoint facilitates the return through a third-party location such as newsagent, video store, supermarkets or chemist.
Using ParcelPoint for a delivery, by contrast, means the online retailer has to alter its IT service to allow the option when a customer processes their transaction.
"It's not a huge undertaking but it's easier to do returns first," Leach says.
Australia Post has a significant regional presence, which at this stage we don't seek to replicate. Most metro suburbs have significant amounts of e-commerce and a lack of convenient options at the moment.
With Australia's current estimated traffic of 200-million parcel likely to grow up to 20 per cent year on year, there is a big market up for grabs. ParcelPoint, whose first depot was the garage of Leach's Bondi home and which now has 1000 active parcel pick-up and drop-off locations across the country, will have its work cut out, however, as it competes against rival offerings such as Australia Post's newsagent and 24/7 locker network, and the Toll Group/TZ locker offering.
Leach, who says ParcelPoint aims to have 3000 locations by the end of next year – in contrast to Australia Post's 4400 – says the advantage he offers is convenient locations in the suburbs for customers that are open longer.
Lack of options
"Australia Post will always have significant regional presence, which at this stage we don't seek to replicate," he says. "Most of the suburbs in metropolitan areas have significant amounts of e-commerce and a lack of convenient options at the moment."
Apart from Groupon, the company's retailer clients include Missguided, as well as Webster Holdings brands Jigsaw, MARCS and David Lawrence. Still, rural and regional customers are a key online constituency as they are more likely to opt for e-commerce as a result of having fewer bricks-and-mortar options.
The company, whose backers include Rupert Murdoch son-in-law Alasdair MacLeod, has signed up with logistics providers TNT, Fastway and Couriers Please. Leach declines to disclose revenue or the volumes of parcels his company is processing, but offers one concrete sign of growth – his home garage is no longer used as a drop-off point.
"That finished a long time ago," he says. "We've grown up since then."

Mortgage rates turn downward (again)
Remember all the dire predictions about what the Federal Reserve's tapering was going to do to the housing market? It seems mortgage rates have gotten a reprieve -- and from a somewhat unlikely source.
Mortgage rates fell throughout January and into early February. However, that is not entirely good news.
Relief for mortgage rates
2013 was the first year in seven in which mortgage rates rose, and 2014 was expected to see more of the same. The economy appeared to be strengthening, and in December the Fed announced it would start cutting back its quantitative easing program. That program had been seen as instrumental in driving mortgage rates down to record levels.
So far though, 2014 has defied expectations. Thirty-year mortgage rates were at 4.53 percent on January 2, but had fallen to 4.23 percent by February 6. This drop comes as a relief to prospective home buyers, but existing home owners also have reason to cheer lower rates: Low mortgage rates create refinance opportunities, and generally support property values.
Does this take the Fed off the hook?Under different circumstances, the Fed might also welcome lower mortgage rates. Throughout last year, there were continual debates about how the Fed could back off from quantitative easing without sending mortgage rates so high they would choke off the housing rally and dampen economic growth. Instead, the Fed has now taken two steps toward tapering its monetary stimulus, and rates have fallen rather than risen. Does this get the Fed off the hook for any potential adverse effects of tapering? Not exactly. After all, starting last May, mortgage rates rose by more than a percentage point in anticipation of Fed tapering, so even with the recent easing of rates, they are still much higher than they were a year ago. Also, current mortgage rates reflect a series of disappointing economic news releases, which is hardly something the Fed could have wished for. After all, the idea of bringing rates down in the first place was to stimulate the economy.
Business as usual for deposit ratesFor now, it is fair to say that mortgage rates have abandoned their upward course, and it will take either some more positive economic news or signs of inflation to send them higher again. Though current mortgage rates are higher than they were a year ago, they are still much lower than historical norms.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas lawmakers are advising the state to force nursing homes with a history of abuses to shut down.
The Texas Sunset Advisory Commission recommended the crackdown at its Wednesday meeting in Austin. The proposal urges the Legislature to require the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services to rescind the license of any nursing home with at least three of the gravest violations over a two-year period.
The Republican state senator who made the recommendation says the proposal would only target "the worst of the worst" facilities. He says only seven of the state's 1,200 nursing homes would be shuttered under such a law.
Some of the panel's Democratic members have concerns. They say a "three-strikes" law could prematurely force the state's hand.

Penryn Surgery aims to provide high quality patient centred care.
We are constantly trying to improve our services. The website has been redesigned to provide helpful information about the services we offer, those available elsewhere locally and include some additional health information for you.
By clicking on this link you can order your repeat prescriptions online
Leave feedback here
The NHS is carrying out work in Devon, Cornwall and Isles of Scilly to make sure the patient details on GP lists are accurate. Letters are being sent to some patients, but not all.If you do receive a letter, please either confirm your details or submit any changes. Changes can be made by returning the form in the prepaid envelope. If the details are correct, you can confirm by freepost, by freephone, via text message or online.It is important to respond to the letter, as GP lists do get out of date over time. If we don't have an accurate record of your name and address, then we or a hospital may not be able to contact you with important information.The NHS or your GP Practice may also need to contact you:
● with test results ● to invite you for bowel, breast or cervical screening to protect against cancer, for example ● to offer vaccination against infectious diseases such as flu or measles, mumps and rubella ● to give you an appointment as part of your plan to stay healthy if you have a long-term illness
Please respond to the letter within four weeks, so the NHS can be certain about your details. Otherwise, the NHS will assume that you have moved away, and begin the process to remove you from the practice list.
We are pleased to let you know that Penryn Surgery is increasing the number of doctors working for the practice. Five of our assistant doctors, who have been working with us for several years, have now been appointed as permanent partners. It may well be that you have already met one or more of them or indeed that you have been seeing one of them regularly.
To further improve our service, each of these new partners will be personally responsible for a list of patients registered with them. This will spread the caseload over more doctors and should improve continuity of care to all our patients. Although you may continue to see any of the partners, we would ask that you try to make appointments with your new registered doctor when you need to see a GP.
The five new partners are: Dr Alison Best, Dr Charlotte Harvey, Dr Jessica Munro, Dr Kate Sanders and Dr Stephen Seale.
If your Registered GP has changed, you will receive written notification of this from the NHS Registration Team.

That Target Lamp
Last Wednesday, I went ahead and spent some of my birthday on that Scandinavian-inspired floor lamp from Target that popped up in lots of blogs this summer (here, and here, for example). Overjoyed at my luck that they had one left, and stoked that it was now on clearance– $20 off! I nabbed it up and rushed home to assemble it.
The box was slightly torn at the opening, which should have been my first clue. The lightbulb that was supposedly included was missing, clue number two. Nonetheless I unwrapped, assembled, located a lightbulb (much too bright of one– gotta go shopping and get a gentler one), and set it up just so in a dark corner of the living room.
Looks great, right? Good location, the gray goes with the frame and the couch… And makes a nice "triangle" with our entryway light and the other one that's across the room near the other, green couch where we watch TV. (click here for bearings within the living room).
Cue the sad sitcom sound effects… The wood is curved! See how it leans!!
I should have known something was up, like perhaps someone already discovered it was curved and returned it to the store! Oh well. We have some ideas for a DIY fix. I'll let you know how it turns out!
Thrift Score Thursday!
Okay, I finally know the secret to thrifting in Southern California. Get outta town! Seriously though, going to smaller suburban locales produces many more treasures than hitting the same old picked-over nearby places. I found some really cool stuff for my Etsy shop and some other cool stuff for my permanent collection.
Check out these precious mugs and saucers I scored! I don't know how old they are but I haven't been able to identify them anywhere. The general shape makes me think that maybe they are older than you'd think– more teacup shaped than mug shaped, and very similar to the pink teacups in my mom's depression glass collection. The disappointing part was that someone at Salvation Army had written on the bottom of them with a sharpie, "set of 10." Despite their best efforts three pieces had been separated and I snagged three teacups and four saucers for a discount since it was an odd number. I did get the sharpie off using goo gone, and then later, rubbing alcohol. Definitely keeping these!
This item I'm on the fence about keeping. I loooove the look of jadeite but this is my first piece, since it's so rare to find any in thrift stores (gets snatched up too fast!). Should I list it so that someone with an extensive collection can add it to their goods? Or should I begin a jadeite collection of my own? What does a person need with a single cafeteria-sized cereal bowl?
Every Thursday I have had so much fun checking out various bloggers' scores (or photos of the items that got away). One of the ring leaders is Brynne who I recently started following on twitter. Check out her #thriftscorethursday posts here– 33 weeks running!
Treat Yo Self
September is here, and that means it's my birthday month! I couldn't come up with much for my birthday list because I've been getting in the habit of getting myself small treats here and there.
First up, I have to sing the praises of Mast Brothers chocolate. This chocolate is so dark and potent that a small piece, smaller than a square inch, satisfies my chocolate craving (okay, maybe two pieces). I keep a bar of this in my drawer at work and it helps me get through the afternoon stretch! After becoming so accustomed to Mast Brothers, eating Hershey's milk chocolate seems like a waste. As a result, I eat less sweets of a better quality. A win-win in my book! You've got to get a bar and you'll see what I mean.
Second, after I got my new job back in March, I signed up for Julep Maven, a monthly nail polish (and other beauty items) subscription box. I thought getting nail polish month after month would get boring, but each month has new and exciting colors, and I can also swap items out for other things like lotion, lipstick, or restock on base coat (their base coat is seriously amazing) or topcoat. I've been pleased with the durability of the polish too, since I was disappointed with the other trendy brand, Essie.
My first box, last April
My July box got lost in the mail, so customer service credited my account. To make up for the lost box I added on three colors of nail polish. Since I selected three add-ons, they gifted me with two more! So, I got eight colors this month–definitely an early "me-gift" for my birthday! Usually subscribers receive two colors plus another beauty item, or three colors. I look forward to selecting my box each month and have been having so much fun doing my nails before work each week. Something I never dreamed would become part of my routine but I really enjoy it!
If you want to subscribe, click my referral link & use code FREEBOX for your first month free.
Lastly, I didn't want Doug to feel left out, and we are constantly out of razors around here (therefore either not shaving or using seriously unhygienic borderline rusty old blades, don't tell anyone). So I signed
him us up for Dollar Shave Club. Each month for $6 they will send us four fresh 4-blade razors. Win! We can select more or less as needed.
I forgot to add on an extra handle so this month Doug gets to be the first to try out the system, but next month I'll get another handle. Ever since Julep Maven I have been getting on the subscription box train. So convenient and DSC is super affordable, too. Much cheaper than the Schick Quattro's Doug had been picking up–super expensive even at Costco! If you want to give it a try (you can cancel anytime), use my referral link, and thank me later ;)
Note: The Julep and Dollar Shave Club links earn me a credit to apply to my own subscription. However, I'm only sharing because I'm a true convert, not because I was asked or paid to.

Call for Papers Matrices: Second International Conference on Architecture and Gender 18-20 March 2015
Department of Architecture & LABART, Lusfona University, Lisbon, Portugal
The Second International Conference on Architecture and Gender will address the theme of Matrices. This concept has several definitions and they are all inclusive by nature. Matrices are environments where things develop, the models or patterns that shape formations, and they can also reinvent an environment. These images are suited to address the current patterns of change regarding architecture and gender.
We invite researchers, scholars, professionals and graduate students, in the fields of architecture, urban design, history of architecture and related areas, such as sociology, geography, anthropology, to present their insights on the changing patterns regarding gender and architecture on the following topics: Practices, Academy, Histories, and Data.
Practices: Architectural practice is continually changing due to many variables. Is it possible to correlate transformations in practice with the increasing number of women architects working around the world? Which issues are most salient in recent approaches to gender in architecture? Are we witnessing a shift in urban design and architecture practice due to the influence of gender studies? Are there alternative models of working collaboration between men and women in architectural practice?
Academia: Women are becoming the majority in academia and, at a slower pace, in schools of architecture. How is this reflected in the production of research? Are research projects related to gender flourishing in schools of architecture? Are schools adapting teaching strategies accordingly?
Histories: Gender studies in history of architecture unlocked a vast number of previously unacknowledged professionals in the field. How is the writing of History of Architecture changing due to the recognition of the work of women architects? How is this field of History reflected in different countries and cultures?
Data: Analysis of recent data reveals significant changes in the profession. What does the analysis of data regarding the numbers of women architects tell us about the changing field of architecture? How can we interpret comparative studies with data from different periods and places?
Abstracts, written in English, Portuguese or Spanish, must be under 500 words and should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com<mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> no later than October 1, 2014.

As part of the 14th International Architecture Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia, the Collateral Event "Time Space Existence" at Palazzo Bembo and Palazzo Mora presents architects from 6 continents, brought together in an extraordinary combination.
This exhibition documents current developments and thoughts in architecture, highlighting fundamental questions by discussing the philosophical concepts Time, Space and Existence. An international group of architects with different cultural backgrounds and who are in different stages of their careers, i.e. established architects next to architects whose works might be less known. What they have in common is their dedication to architecture in the broadest sense of their profession.
The exhibition shows a large diversity of presentations (models, concepts, research results, dreams, hopes and ideas), combining classical architectural presentations with surprising artistic elements. All presentations are either site-specific, especially made for this exhibition or coming directly from the architect's studio.
The two locations each have their particular atmosphere. The 32 rooms in Palazzo Bembo mainly highlight solo-presentations, by architects such as Ricardo Bofill, AHMM, GMP and White arkitekter, or research projects such as that of the University of Houston. With its typical Venetian features, Palazzo Mora will show a variety of architects within its grand spaces, such as the sculpture by Eduardo Souto de Moura.
With their structures, architects often have an enormous impact on the way we humans experience our surrounding, experience Time-Space. They influence our daily existence and leave a mark on the earth from this current Time and often this 'mark' even outlives the architect himself. Architects should be very conscious about the impact their activities and decisions have on people and other living beings as well as on our environment as a total. By combining different architectural thoughts and approaches, this exhibition aims to enlarge our human awareness of our own personal existence as a human being within a specific space and time.
As of July 2014, the FIU Department of Landscape Architecture will be known the Department of Landscape Architecture + Environmental and Urban Design (LA+EUD).
"The words 'Environment' and 'Urbanism' communicate our focus and our program's recognized body of work, curriculum, scholarship, research and creative activity," said Roberto Rovira, Chair.
Since its founding in 1986, the department has capitalized on the Miami and South Florida context to explore important issues affecting cities and environments. It has focused on the tropical and subtropical regions of the world whose global relevance Rovira is quick to point out by noting that 3 billion of the world's 7 billion people currently live in these regions, and how this number is projected to double by 2100. "The fastest growth is taking place in developing countries, and the majority will happen in cities and places like Miami and Latin America, where our department has focused a lot of its energy and intellectual capital," he stated.
Students in the program typically explore environmental, ecological and urban issues, and are asked to design public spaces, infrastructure and urban plans to address industrial reclamation, environmental mitigation, ecotourism, open space, sea level rise and many other issues at the center of the relationship between human beings and their surroundings. As the two-time winner of the most prestigious international student awards program sponsored by the American Society of Landscape Architects (the ASLA Design Award of Excellence and the Design Honor Award), FIU projects routinely combine landscape architecture, environment and urban design to propose innovative design solutions. Those projects specifically dealt with the redesign of an urban waterfront in the city of Colón, Panama, and a proposed park and an outdoor museum at Miami's western edge, where the city and the natural environments come together.
Faculty research and creative work often centers on important issues surrounding ecology, design, sustainability, and urban resilience, and is regularly recognized through grants, exhibits, books and journal publications. LA+EUD's faculty members have won numerous international and national competitions, and their recognition includes five professional awards from the ASLA and the American Institute of Architects (AIA), one national teaching award from the Council for Educators in Landscape Architecture (CELA), and two Research/Practice awards from the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA).
Faculty and student work with a focus on environment and urbanism has also been recognized by the Van Alen Institute (VAI), the Graham Foundation (GF), the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA), the European Landscape Biennial (ELB), and the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF).
"Environmental and urban design form the core of the program's mission, and like the discipline of landscape architecture itself, our curriculum spans from the micro to the macro scales and operates at the intersection of human beings and the natural world," indicated Rovira.
The Department of Landscape Architecture + Environmental and Urban Design's MLA degree (Masters of Landscape Architecture) is accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board (LAAB).
We are witnessing the rollout of new and improved public spaces around the five boroughs of New York. The work of the previous administration got the ball rolling in claiming roadways for pedestrian use, including Broadway Boulevard and Times Square. The DOT Plaza Program, continued POPS, greenways from the Highline to Queensway, and others all confirm a growing interest in the value of open space. This said, who pays for all this? Who initiates and raises capital and financing and how is maintenance built into the many different configurations described above? These are the questions the panel will address.
This panel will be presented in conjunction with the Open to the Public: Civic Space Now exhibition at the Center for Architecture, on view from June 12 - September 6, 2014 and is an initiative of the Lance Jay Brown, FAIA, 2014 Presidential theme: 'Civic Spirit:Civic Vision.'
Speakers: Diana Balmori, Ph.D., FASLA, IFLA, Founder, Balmori Associates Jerold Kayden, Professor of Urban Planning and Design, Harvard University Graduate School of Design Emily Weidenhof, NYC Plaza Program Director, NYC Department of Transportation Moderator: John Shapiro, Chair, Pratt Institute Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment
Organized by: Center for Architecture
Price: Free for AIA members and students with valid student ID; $10 for non-members
Whether you're a public official trying to develop a green local economy, a college or hospital administrator working to reduce your institution's carbon footprint, or a business owner just hoping to lower your monthly utility bill, it's almost certain you'll be more successful by joining with like-minded people to brainstorm ideas and develop solutions that benefit everyone.
Sustainability is a community affair.
Collaboration will be a common thread in the keynote addresses, workshops, tours and exhibits at the 7th annual Growing Sustainable Communities Conference, to be held at the Grand River Center in Dubuque on Oct. 7 and 8.
Registration for the conference is now open at http://gscdubuque.eventbrite.com. Presented by the City of Dubuque and Sustainable City Network, the conference is supported by Crescent Electric Supply Company and other corporate sponsors. Programming will include keynote addresses by two internationally-known thought leaders in sustainability and urban development, as well as 25 workshops, two mobile tours and dozens of vendor exhibits.
Storm Cunningham, CEO of ReCitizen, L3C, will present the luncheon keynote address on Tuesday, Oct. 7. Cunningham's organization is a Washington, DC-based international network for citizen-led regeneration of communities and natural resources, providing tools for crowdsourcing, crowdmapping and crowdfunding. He also has written several books, with his third, "FIXERS: New Leaders for Broken Times," due for publication in 2015. It documents the global rise of adaptive renewal in today's climate of uncertainty.
On Wednesday, Oct. 8, Gil Penalosa, executive director of the Canadian nonprofit 8-80 Cities, will deliver the keynote luncheon address. A former commissioner of Parks, Sport and Recreation for the City of Bogota, Colombia, Penalosa is passionate about building cities for everyone and using parks and streets as both public places and avenues of sustainable mobility for walking, cycling and public transit. He has worked on projects with more than 150 cities worldwide, and also is an urban expert on mobility and citizen engagement for the Danish firm, Gehl Architects.
The Growing Sustainable Communities Conference is an opportunity for leaders from local government, businesses, schools and non-profits to learn from experts and colleagues who will share the latest research and best practices for successfully implementing sustainability projects across a broad spectrum of community disciplines, including healthcare, energy, resource management, environmental services, and urban planning and design.

WhatsApp is the future; Facebook is history…
Posted on February 20, 2014 by Gary Schirr
tl;dr Facebook was the huge winner of Web 2.0 but doesn't really fit the mobile age. Despite the advantage of a huge user base, the primary functions of FB — photo and video sharing or text communicating — are better performed on smartphones by specialized apps developed for mobile. The purchases of Instagram and now WhatsApp is an acknowledgement that Facebook itself shares that vision! Continue reading →

The Rhea Hirsch School of Education Alumni Association gathered for their sixth Kallah on February 10-12, 2012, at Brandeis Bardin Camp in Simi Valley, CA. The Kallah consisted of a Shabbat experience of study, sharing and community building.
Dr. Leah Hochman, Director of the Jerome H. Louchheim School of Judaic Studies and Assistant Professor of Jewish Thought at the Jack H. Skirball Campus in Los Angeles, served as the Scholar-in-Residence. The topic of study was "Developing a Personal Theology."
Rhea Hirsch School of Education alumni participated in the leadership of the kallah; sharing stories of excellence, helping fellow alumni deal with challenges on the job, and leading worship. Current students were also invited to share Shabbat and lead morning worship.
Ellen Lefkowitz (HUC-JIR/LA '99) was installed as the new Chair of the Alumni Association and we thanked Cindy Reich (HUC-JIR/LA '84) for passing the torch.
As always, there was a tremendous feeling of camaraderie as we celebrated together and took pride in the many accomplishments of our fellow alumni.
Founded in 1875, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion is North America's first institution of higher Jewish education and the academic, spiritual, and professional leadership development center of Reform Judaism. HUC-JIR educates men and women for service to North American and world Jewry as rabbis, cantors, educators, and nonprofit management professionals, and offers graduate programs to scholars and clergy of all faiths. With centers of learning in Cincinnati, Jerusalem, Los Angeles, and New York, HUC-JIR's scholarly resources comprise the renowned Klau Library, the American Jewish Archives, research institutes and centers, and academic publications. In partnership with the Union for Reform Judaism and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, HUC-JIR sustains the Reform Movement's congregations and professional and lay leaders. HUC-JIR's campuses invite the community to cultural and educational programs illuminating Jewish heritage and fostering interfaith and multiethnic understanding. www.huc.edu

Fall Fun in Fairfield
Although this summer certainly hasn't been a bad one, the cooler fall weather is very welcome. Fall also brings another soccer season. Right now, boys and girls high school soccer and AYSO (American Youth Soccer Organization) games are in full swing.
The AYSO is a non-profit organization that was founded by a small group of people in Torrance, California in 1964. The national office of the organization is still located there. Kids as young as three can participate in AYSO programs and they can continue playing until they are nineteen. As the interest in soccer has exploded over the years, they have come a long way since their original nine teams. Currently the AYSO has 50,000 teams, over 500,000 players, and 125,000 volunteers!
If you are interested in finding out more about soccer, the Adams County Library System owns such books as: The Kingfisher Book of Soccer Skills by Clive Gifford, 100 years of soccer in America by the U.S. Soccer Federation, and Play soccer like a pro: key skills and tips by Christopher Forest. We also own soccer themed DVD's titled Soccer Dog, Backyard Soccer Drills, and The Wild Soccer Bunch. Visit your local library branch to browse our collection or check out our website at www.adamslibrary.org.
