Apache Shiro
The contest holder will be donating the winning design to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) for their project, Apache Shiro (http://incubator.apache.org/shiro). The ASF is not sponsoring or in any way affiliated with the contest.
Apache Shiro is a project under Apache's Incubator program. Apache Shiro is a security framework to help software developers build secure applications quickly and easily.
Some common themes that might be appropriate: guard, armor, shield, defense, rampart, lock & key, castle ('shiro' means 'castle' in Japanese, but it is not required to have a literal translation in the logo). The goal is to have a logo that represents 'security', 'protection', 'safety' and similar themes. Have fun! :)
The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is a non-profit organization that works with volunteers to collaboratively develop free open source software, including the widely-used Apache Tomcat server project. For the last ten years, Apache has been a major revolutionary force in the software industry. To learn more about the ASF, visit http://www.apache.org
Our target audience is software developers building secure applications for large and small companies either as employees or as contractors. The core of this audience are highly skilled lead engineers. These engineers will be building mission critical applications using the Apache Shiro framework in order to make their applications secure.
The target audience will care about the quality and reliability of the product.
The logo will be donated to Apache with the purpose of using it on the Apache Shiro project website. The URL is http://incubator.apache.org/shiro.
Here's what we'd like:
1. Professional looking. We want developers and businesses to be feel comfortable relying on Shiro
2. A unique icon that can stand on its own (see examples below).
3. The typeface should be easily readable.
4. Text must have two variations: "Apache Shiro" and "Shiro". Either one could be used.
What we don't want:
1. No logos that are too playful. (ie - bubble letters)
2. No clip art or stock photography
Example of some decent open source logos:
Spring Source: http://www.springsource.org
Alfresco: http://www.alfresco.com
RedHat: http://www.redhat.com
Drupal - http://www.drupal.org
Thank you all in advance for your submissions! We look forward to seeing your great work!

I've been thinking about the Thoth Tarot deck lately and two of the most interesting card designs to me are Adjustment and the Lovers.
Adjustment was changed from Justice in the (Old Aeon) Rider-Waite tarot pack. The idea is that there is no justice in the universe: the best we can do (and what we must do) is adjust to the conditions of the universe.
The best example I can think of here is the idea of the Ego, the idea that we are consciously in control of ourselves as individuals. This is not really the case: we are all essentially brainwashed. To put it another way, we are conditioned. We don't consciously choose to get up and brush our teeth every day, we do so out of unconscious habit. These habits are mostly based on our culture.
Beyond that we are animals with specific biological instructions. We didn't ourselves (as The Animal) choose to have teeth, for example, or to require food to live. Those are simply the Conditions that we find ourselves in.
Justice also implies revenge, which implies an inferiority to the person we are vengeful towards.
And so we move from Justice to Adjustment.
The Lovers card I am not as familiar with, but I have noticed something that might be of interest.
From Liber Artemis Iota: "The student should assimilate the doctrine of the "Black Brothers." To refuse to fulfill any of one's possibilities is the direct negation of the Great Work."
On the card we have a white brother and a black brother. Possibly this means that in the New Aeon, with Adjustment implied, we are all Black Brothers, or the Black Brother is an equivalent or a counterpart to the White Brother.
It might be kinda cool to be a Black Brother.

Starbucks boldly debuts in coffee-mad Vietnam
Starbucks' brave foray into coffee-obsessed Vietnam has begun with the opening of its first store in the country, in southern Ho Chi Minh City.
The two-story flagship cafe is in the capital's higher-end neighborhood, District 1. Among menu items, something called a Starbucks Asian Dolce Latte as well as locally flavored snacks like the Parisian Baguette and Roast Duck Wrap.
The company says the design of the new flagship store "upcycles" locally sourced materials -- for example, the community teakwood table was recycled from a local villa and an old "ba gac" (tricycle) is placed as a centerpiece in the store.
Normally, a Starbucks expansion wouldn't merit much coverage. After all, the Seattle-based behemoth already has more than 3,000 stores in Asia alone.
But this is Vietnam, a nation that serves up some of the globe's best coffee and is the world's second highest exporter of beans, behind Brazil.
So will Ho Chi Minh residents happily add the word "frappucino" to their vocabularies?
Starbucks says it's ready for the challenge.
The coffee chain says it already purchases a notable amount of high quality arabica coffee from Vietnam, "and is committed to sourcing more arabica coffee from the Vietnam region over the long term."
Starbucks also has yet to move into the tricky coffee market of Italy, despite that country representing, according to a Bloomberg Businessweek Magazine article, "the mountain [Starbucks] has yet to climb."
For more on Starbucks' move into Vietnam, check out this article on CNN Money.
Do you think Starbucks will be a hit in coffee crazy Vietnam? Share your thoughts in the comments box below.
This article was originally published early January and has been updated to reflect the opening of the store.

Authors: The ETS Developers
We're happy to announce the release of multiple major projects, including:
- Traits 4.4.0
- Chaco 4.4.1
- TraitsUI 4.4.0
- Envisage 4.4.0
- Pyface 4.4.0
- Codetools 4.2.0
These packages form the core of the Enthought Tool Suite (ETS, http://code.enthought.com/projects), a collection of free, open-source components developed by Enthought and our partners to construct custom scientific applications. ETS includes a wide variety of components, including:
an extensible application framework (Envisage)
application building blocks (Traits, TraitsUI, Enaml, Pyface, Codetools)
2-D and 3-D graphics libraries (Chaco, Mayavi, Enable)
scientific and math libraries (Scimath)
developer tools (Apptools)
You can install any of the packages using Canopy's package manager, using the Canopy or EPD 'enpkg \' command, from PyPI (using pip or easy_install), or by building them from source code on github. For more details, see the ETS intallation page.
This set of releases was an 8-month effort of Enthought developers along with:
- Yves Delley
- Pieter Aarnoutse
- Jordan Ilott
- Matthieu Dartiailh
- Ian Delaney
- Gregor Thalhammer
Many thanks to them!
General release notes
The major new feature in this Traits release is a new adaptation mechanism in the "traits.adaptation" package. The new mechanism is intended to replace the older traits.protocols package. Code written against "traits.protocols" will continue to work, although the "traits.protocols" API has been deprecated, and a warning will be logged on first use of "traits.protocols". See the 'Advanced Topics' section of the user manual for more details.
These new releases of TraitsUI, Envisage, Pyface and Codetools include an update to this new adaptation mechanism.
All ETS projects are now on TravisCI, making it easier to contribute to them.
As of this release, the only Python versions that are actively supported are 2.6 and 2.7. As we are moving to future-proof ETS over the coming months, more code that supported Python 2.5 will be removed.
We will retire email@example.com since it is lightly used and are now recommending all users of Chaco to send questions, requests and comments to email@example.com or to StackOverflow (tag "enthought" and possibly "chaco").
More details about the release of each project are given below. Please see the CHANGES.txt file inside each project for full details of the changes.
Happy coding!
The ETS developers
Traits 4.4.0 release notes
The Traits library enhances Python by adding optional type-checking and an event notification system, making it an ideal platform for writing data-driven applications. It forms the foundation of the Enthought Tool Suite.
In addition to the above-mentioned rework of the adaptation mechanism, the release also includes improved support for using Cython with `HasTraits` classes, some new helper utilities for writing unit tests for Traits events, and a variety of bug fixes, stability enhancements, and internal code improvements.
Chaco 4.4.0 release notes
Chaco is a Python package for building efficient, interactive and custom 2-D plots and visualizations. While Chaco generates attractive static plots, it works particularly well for interactive data visualization and exploration.
This release introduces many improvements and bug fixes, including fixes to the generation of image files from plots, improvements to the ArrayPlotData to change multiple arrays at a time, and improvements to multiple elements of the plots such as tick labels and text overlays.
TraitsUI 4.4.0 release notes
The TraitsUI project contains a toolkit-independent GUI abstraction layer, which is used to support the "visualization" features of the Traits package. TraitsUI allows developers to write against the TraitsUI API (views, items, editors, etc.), and let TraitsUI and the selected toolkit and back-end take care of the details of displaying them.
In addition to the above-mentioned update to the new Traits 4.4.0 adaptation mechanism, there have also been a number of improvements to drag and drop support for the Qt backend and some modernization of the use of WxPython to support Wx 2.9. This release also includes a number of bug-fixes and minor functionality enhancements.
Envisage 4.4.0 release notes
Envisage is a Python-based framework for building extensible applications, providing a standard mechanism for features to be added to an
application, whether by the original developer or by someone else.
In addition to the above-mentioned update to the new Traits 4.4.0 adaptation mechanism, this release also adds a new method to retrieve a service that is required by the application and provides documentation and test updates.
Pyface 4.4.0 release notes
The pyface project provides a toolkit-independent library of Traits-aware widgets and GUI components, which are used to support the "visualization" features of Traits.
The biggest change in this release is support for the new adaptation mechanism in Traits 4.4.0. This release also includes Tasks support for Enaml 0.8 and a number of other minor changes, improvements and bug-fixes.
Codetools release notes
The codetools project includes packages that simplify meta-programming and help the programmer separate data from code in Python. This library provides classes for performing dependency-analysis on blocks of Python code, and Traits-enhanced execution contexts that can be used as execution namespaces.
In addition to the above-mentioned update to the new Traits 4.4.0 adaptation mechanism, this release also includes a number of modernizations of the code base, including the consistent use of absolute imports, and a new execution manager for deferring events from Contexts.

Simpulse is a new form of payment by mobile phone. Using only their smartphones, consumers pay for goods inside of retail stores, manage their accounts, and find/earn other exclusive offers. The consumer has inside access to retail that is ultra-convenient and sophisticated, and the brand needs to represent this. Think of the American Express Black card going mobile. On the backend, merchants, retailers, and banks use this payment for to distinguish themselves as leading edge and as a new way to connect with the modern, savvy consumer.
The Target
The brand target is two-fold:
Consumers: The consumers tend to be young somewhat affluent adults. Imagine the target demographic to be 22 to 28 years old, 50/50 male and female, and affluent enough to afford a Smartphone (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, etc), technically savvy, and active in online social communities. They are more likely than not to be in white collar office jobs, and just beginning to be able to afford the fashions and lifestyles that come with a professional career, while being edgy and young in their interpretations. These consumers need a fun, simple, and trustworthy image as this product will relate to financial transactions. Strength, simplicity, edgy, modern, and fun (impulse).
Marketers/Merchants/Advertisers: The corporate consumer is a very large company/brand trying to reach and engage the above consumer. They need an image that is also strong and trustworthy as they depend on Simpulse for management of customer relationships and direct connections to payments for their goods. Fortune 500 brands are this target.
Update: Another design to check out that we like is http://bit.ly/9Mzo96, except make it an "s" instead of a "d" and other accent tweaks.
The winning design will deliver:
* 95% of the core design will be clean/simple/modern Scandinavian design
* 5% of the design as an accent: impulse/color/sexy/fractal/lacy
* an new icon and a font treatment of Simpulse
We're looking for a designer who "gets it" and will work with us through stationery, website, and corporate imaging assignments.
*Brand Image*
Simpulse is a mash-up of two words - Simple and Impulse. To build graphic treatments on these words, the brand image is 95% simple/clean/highly-modern/ and 5% impulse/sexy/bright/curvy/fractals.
The image/font treatment is crisp, clean, white, and simple modern. Sharp edges, lots of white space.
There is no tag line with this concept.
(Notice the simple lines, white space as the design core and the light blue accent)
Accents Concepts: (not limited to this, though!)
Conceptual Words:
CORE: sophisticated, smart, ubiquitous, simple, tasteful, distinctive, very modern, highly exclusive
ACCENT: Impulse, fun, sexy, fractals, inspiration, idea
FLAVORS: Freedom, platinum,
UTILITY: Payment, loyalty, convenient, easy, indispensible
No dollar signs
No mixing of Serif and sans serif fonts
No 'phone' graphics

Mechanics and Farmers Bank
The Mechanics and Farmers Bank, North Carolina's oldest African American-owned bank, was established in 1908 in Durham under the auspices of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association (renamed the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company in 1919). The original charter members included Richard Fitzgerald, John Merrick, Aaron M. Moore, William G. Pearson, J. C. Scarborough, Charles C. Spaulding, J. A. Dodson, and Stanford L. Warren. The bank first operated from space in the building of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, later moving to a building on West Parrish Street.
Mechanics and Farmers became an important source of financing in the 1920s, saving more than 500 African American farms and residences, when its loan department provided $200,000 in individual loans. The bank's policy stated its intent to provide "no large loans . . . to a few profiteers, but rather conservative sums to needy farmers and laborers." The bank was one of about a dozen African American banks to survive the Great Depression and holds the distinction of being the first lending institution in North Carolina to receive a Certificate of Authority from the Federal Housing Administration (1935).
In 1999 Mechanics and Farmers shareholders approved the creation of M&F Bancorp, Inc., a holding company of which the bank became a wholly owned subsidiary. Julia Wheeler Taylor served as chair of Mechanics and Farmers from 1983 to 2000, following in the footsteps of her father John H. Wheeler, chief executive from 1952 to 1978, and her grandfather Stanford L. Warren, a cofounder and early president. In addition to its corporate headquarters and branches in Durham, the bank in 2006 had two branches in Charlotte, two in Raleigh, and one in Winston-Salem.

Experimental drug halves attacks in hard-to-treat asthma
LONDON - An experimental drug for treating severe asthma from GlaxoSmithKline nearly halved the number of attacks suffered by patients with a hard-to-treat form of the disease in a clinical study, boosting hopes for its commercial success.
Britain's biggest drugmaker - already a world leader in respiratory medicine - said as a result it planned to move the new drug into final Phase III development before the end of 2012.
The injectable antibody treatment mepolizumab is designed to help a small group of people with asthma in which white blood cells called eosinophils cause inflammation of lung airways. It reduces the number of eosinophils by inhibiting an immune system signaling chemical called interleukin-5.
Ian Pavord from Britain's University Hospitals of Leicester National Health Service Trust, who led a mid-stage study of the medicine, said it was a potentially important advance for patients for whom conventional treatment was inadequate.
"It seems to be a safe and effective treatment option for patients with eosinophilic asthma that is associated with frequent flare-ups, and may reduce the need for conventional treatment with oral corticosteroids that can have serious side effects including osteoporosis, high blood pressure and impaired growth in children," he said.
Pavord's findings from the Phase IIb trial, which was funded by GSK, were published in The Lancet medical journal on Friday and will be presented at the European Respiratory Society annual congress next month.
Severe refractory asthma only affects around 4 per cent of patients with the disease, so the drug may not become a major seller for GSK but could consolidate the group's strong grip on the market for lung drugs.
"Mepolizumab is one of a number of medicines in GSK's respiratory pipeline and highlights our commitment to develop a broad respiratory portfolio which meets the needs of different patient populations," a company spokesman said.
The year-long study involving 621 patients found that the rate in patients on mepolizumab of clinically significant exacerbations - defined as episodes requiring oral corticosteroids or a hospital visit - was around half that of those on placebo.
But while monthly intravenous injections of the drug cut attacks they failed to produce consistent improvements in symptoms or lung function, suggesting that this aspect of the illness might require different treatment.
Simone Hashimoto and Elisabeth Bel from the University of Amsterdam, who were not involved in the research, said in an accompanying commentary that the overall results were "very promising".
GSK is also assessing the drug as a treatment for Churg-Strauss syndrome, a rare systemic autoimmune disease. Earlier plans to win approval in hypereosinophilic syndrome were abandoned after European regulators asked for more data in 2009.
Novartis and Roche already market another injectable antibody medicine called Xolair for treating patients with severe asthma, although this works in a different way.

Web Company
We're a company who is currently seeking to have a contact/conversion button created for one of our clients.
This is for a company in the market of hiring. Their website isn't flashy, but it's very professional-looking in a classic way (no web 2.0 flair or gradients, etc.).
Button must contain the text, "Have a question about recruiting in Asia? Contact Us!" (without the quotes).
The "Contact Us!" must be larger than the sentence text.
The button shouldn't be huge, but we realize it will be a bit larger than the average button so as to fit all the text from the sentence and have it be legible. Preferable width is around 200-225px and the height perhaps around 70-80px. If you need a bit more space, start with adding height before width, if possible.
The sentence text can be broken up into two lines, then "Contact Us!" can reside on a third line and everything be centered to make the button size more concise. Example:
Have a question about
recruiting in Asia?
Contact Us!
The color of the button should be a darker brick red or something similar -- basically, not bright at all. Making the button look a bit "Web 2.0" with rounded corners and a gradient is okay, too, but the important thing is that all the text be easily legible!

Thank you Nikki for filling a booking request at very short notice! Nikki was great at keeping in touch prior to the appointment as it was the first time we'd met her, and that was helpful in putting my mind a rest when leaving the children with a new person. She brought a DVD for the children to watch and that was a real treat for them, so they were excited, and quite happy to see me leave the house!
Heather was really lovely and friendly, and despite my 18 month old being particularly grumpy Heather was able to settle her nicely. The dogs were very happy with her too and I was comfortable leaving them all Heather's care. She helped us out at really short notice too which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend Heather to any family and will definitely be booking her again in the future.
Jacqui was absolutely wonderful - made our son (and us) feel at ease straight away.Will definately book Jacqui again this week. The sitters service is incredible and very professional from the time I made the initial enquiry.

Mission Statement
Combating neoliberal globalization is one of the most urgent tasks of our times.
The megatrend of increasing globalization, the outcome of the neoliberal free trade policies of transnational capitalism, is producing rising inequality, growing absolute poverty, escalating militarism, and catastrophic climate change.
The purpose of From the Left -- A US Forum on Combating Neoliberal Globalization is to provide a resource site for developing strategic approaches to confront the impact of neoliberal free trade policies on labor and the environment.
Issues and Answers
Why a folk tale from the Left?
This argument against guest worker programs offers a clear alternative.
The United States of America, a nation founded and staunchly defended as a democratic republic of the people, by the people, and for the people, has been hijacked by the richest 1% of the population.
History is being rewritten in the American Southwest.
How did the United States, the first nation in history founded on the principle of liberty and justice for all citizens, become the Prisonhouse of Nations?
Every generation has the right to act for itself in all cases as the generation that preceded it.
The decline of the American working class is not irreversible.
The North American Free Trade Agreement is the gift that keeps on giving to transnational corporations (TNCs) and taking from US workers.
The neoconservative hijacking of American Democracy and civic revolution
Anyone looking for a job in the 21st century needs to read this article.
Women workers bear the brunt of neoliberal globalization
A US guest worker program will be nothing more than a condition of transient servitude for millions of workers from the global South
The boycott is a political weapon available to everyone
Rebuilding public education in the US
What can a common citizen do in these trying times?
What comes after the collapse of neoliberal globalization?
It's time to abolish the death penalty in the USA once and for all
How the USA became the Prisonhouse of Nations and how can it be dismantled
How US prisons consistently violate the UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners
Thinking outside the capitalist box
More globalization is not the way out of the current recession
Free trade labor is the cause, not the cure, of our economic problems

Post subject: Edible goodies from NYC?
I am going to NYC in a couple of days for a quick weekend getaway. What signature NYC, edible goodies do you recommend that I bring home w/me to my friends and family back home in Chicago? The only thing I could think of that might travel well are black & white cookies. Thanks!

I would suggest Fat Witch Brownies or Eleni's Cookies in Chelsea Market which is where the Food Network is located. You could also find the Black and White cookies there as well as many places with great food in the Market. Also, Grand Central has a great food selection to take things home and Li-Lac Chocolates are wonderful which is located there. Junior's Cheesecakes are fab but may be hard to travel with. Good Luck and enjoy NYC !!

If you're a fan of smoked fish or dried fruits/nuts you might want to check out Russ & Daughters on the Lower East Side. I'm a big fan of halvah, so I picked some up there on my last visit.
I also took a little side trip to Babycakes which features gluten free, egg free, nut free, sugar free (though natural sweeteners) baked goods. They may not travel well (except maybe the cookies).
Many folks enjoy a trip to Jacques Torres for some chocolate goodies. (I really like their hot chocolate.) They're probably all decked out with specialize stuff for Valentine's Day. (I went before Easter.)
I like the plain old grocery store called Fairway on the Upper West Side - I picked up a bunch of candy including Lake Champlain Chocolates repackaged under the Fairway house label at a fraction of the price.
I haven't been there in person, but I hear Max Brenner (two locations) is an incredible chocolate experience. He also has a large line of chocolates that you can take home.
Chinatown is an amazing experience, I enjoyed just browsing the grocery stores to see what they carried in their produce departments (and of course candies).

What's halvah? What's Lake Champlain Chocolate? I'm not familiar with it.

Halvah is a crystalized sugar and sesame paste. It's kind of hard to describe.
Here are some photos and reviews I did last year:
Lake Champlain Chocolates - you can read about them on their website:
Have a great time! I really enjoy NYC.

I second the vote to go to Russ & Daughters. Also, check out the Union Square Greenmarket (M, W, F, Sat) and buy some maple syrup and/or maple syrup candy. Or some other goodies. Everything there is local and fabulous.
Since you mentioned Black & White cookies, another cookie I've only found done well in New York is Rainbow Cookies.
And, if you have time and don't mind waiting on-line, wander around the West Village and stop off at Magnolia Bakery. You probably can't bring any of their stuff home with you but you certainly can eat it right there! Enjoy!
Don't forget the cannolis!

Call me crazy, but I'd say bagels. A good NY (or NJ or the general NY metro area) bagel has a thick-ish crust, chewy and slightly crunchy, that you can pretty much peel away from the softer, chewy interior. It takes effort to eat, and it's worth every chew.
They come in plain, pumpernickel (my fave, which I think is called "dark rye" outside of largely-Jewish areas), salt, egg, onion, garlic, sesame, or poppy, but NEVER tomato, strawberry, banana-nut, or any other fruity, unnatural concoction.
They're best straight out of the bag as you're leaving the shop, but they do travel well - I just brought 14 back to California with me from my favorite bagel shop near where I grew up in northern NJ.
And yes, I know I'm a bagel snob
Enjoy your trip!

Jacqes Torres Chocolates. You can take the ferry across the water from Wall Street, which is nice when the weather is good, great views of the city (and cheap! the same as the subway!) and then walk around in DUMBO (the neighborhood called "Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass)..
I find their thick hot chocolate too rich (and obviously not very portable), but their truffles and other goodies are delightful.
I would say bagels too (preferably from ess-a-bagel, at 21st street and 1st ave) but they don't keep SO well. Lox, though? really good lox? that might be good if you wrap it up well.

Also, Les Halles - the French Bistro where Anthony Bourdain was executive chef - has opened a new market. They took over the space next door to the Park Ave South resto and discovered they were once linked together and were a large green grocer! They are selling meats, house made pates and salumis as well as various other food items. Since Les Halles is one of my favorite restos in NYC, I'd definitely make a trip there for dinner OR the market!
I second Magnolia Bakery. And if you're looking for a great coffee shop - with just the right mix of ambience and quality drinks, I recommend Joe on Waverly Place. They have a great variety or pastries to eat with their EXCELLENT coffee drinks. Every once in a while they have faux Hostess cupcakes - real chocolate cupcakes - homemade - with the little white squiggle down the middle. MUCH better than the Hostess product! And their hot chocolate is just brilliant - thick and RICH! The spoon nearly stands up in it!
Enjoy your trip!

Bagels, bagels, dark chocolate peanut butter chip cookies from the Levain Bakery, perhaps some bialys from Kossar's, and bagels.

Thank you for all the tips. I ended up getting mini black & whites from Dean & DeLuca, bagels from H&H, and from Zabar's: a potato knish, coffee beans, cinnamon rugalach, and chocolate babka. The Chocolate Babkas were my favorite and a hit among my recipients.

I note all the great suggestions above and have added them to my (now very long!) list. However I notice that most of the contributions are from those based in the States - I'm heading to NY in the next two weeks and I'm looking for some edible suggestions that are American but not necessarily specific to NY to try also.
(I enjoyed Pucca photo essay of her NY trip
but was slightly intrigued by the trip to H&H bagels for some to bring home - are these not widely available in the States? I can buy them easily in Dublin!!)

chocolatemoose - thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my post. NY Bagels are different than those from the rest of the States. They look the same, but the texture is different. Perhaps a native NYer can elaborate on this for me. I was pretty disappointed in the bagels after I brought them home. I want to try Ess-a-bagel next time and eat them fresh.
As for American edible suggestions - are you looking to eat them while you're here or to bring them home?

Both really!
As well as places to eat while I'm there I'd be interested in ingredients that are specifically American. I also welcome suggestions of cookbooks to buy. I already have David Lebovitz's Perfect Scoop on my list. It's not available anywhere here (even in Borders it's a special order) - I know I could buy it online but I prefer to look through a book first even if I subsequently order it online.

Are you only going to be in NYC or will you be traveling through other US cities? For NYC, the places I want to hit next time:
Sushi Yasuda
, Essagbagel,
, Katz Deli or Carnegie Deli, Barney Greengrass, Russ & Daughters. When I go back to NYC, I am really looking forward to returning to Zabar's, Dean & DeLuca's, Lombardi's, and Joe's Shanghai.
When I think of American food, these things come to mind: apple pie, BBQ ribs, brisket, fried chicken, mayonnaise based salads, baked beans, Buffalo chicken wings, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, chicken pot pie, basically - lots of artery clogging foods!

About Croatia
Sailing the seas of Croatia is an experience all boating enthusiasts should have. Hire a boat here and experience the country's natural beauty and abundant culture for a unique experience. Take a trip to some of Croatia's top sailing cities such as Dubrovnik, Split Kastela and Trogir and take on the most popular routes from the Split to Supetar island or from Palmizana Bay to Korcula and Zaklopatica to Sesula Bay for an experience of a lifetime.
Situated in southeastern Europe, Croatia offers Mediterranean temperatures during the summer months accompanied by happy vibes and a strong culture. Hire a boat with or without a skipper and visit destinations such as the island of Korcula or Diocletian's palace for a taste of what Croatia has on offer. While there, don't forget to test some of Croatia's beautiful cuisine for a true cultural experience. Crni rizot should be on top of the list! Marinas are generously scattered along Croatia's coastline to provide a wide variety of choices in location, pricing and services that suit your needs whether you hire a motorboat, catamaran or sailboat. Sailing conditions are also generally smooth, with the Bora winds helping to guide you on your boat charter. The country is very accessible whether you travel there by boat or plane, and is particularly popular during the summer months, although spring and autumn provide optimal weather for boat rental. Enjoy your travels in Croatia by renting a boat through Enaviga for an unforgettable adventure.

CHICO >> Four people allegedly holed up at a residence where an alleged shooter might be hiding, were taken into custody Thursday by the SWAT team, about seven hours after police first surrounded the property.
At about 3 a.m. Thursday, police received several calls about shots being fired in the 800 block of Rancheria Drive.
A residence, which had been riddled with bullets just a couple of nights before, had allegedly been hit by gunshots again. No one was injured in the incident.
There were reports of people yelling, but no vehicles were seen leaving, Chico Lt. Jennifer Gonzales said at the scene. However, officers who responded to the shooting allegedly saw a suspect matching the description of the shooter enter a home on the 600 block of West Fourth Avenue.
Officers set up a perimeter around the residence, which is a duplex and shares a common wall with another unit.
Police reportedly made repeated requests for the occupants to come out of the single-story home, but received no response.
Officers noticed movements and could see there were people inside, but they weren't complying with orders, Gonzales said. Chico police detectives obtained a search warrant and asked for assistance of the SWAT team.
Because of the likelihood of their beings weapons inside the residence, Chico police waited for SWAT members to arrive before proceeding, Gonzales said.
At about 10:45 a.m., the SWAT team used flash bang grenades and was able to draw four people out. Three men and a woman exited the residence one-by-one with their hands in the air and were taken into custody.
One of the people detained was arrested for a probation violation unrelated to the shooting, according to Chico police. Information on the other three people wasn't immediately available.
The streets surrounding West Fourth Avenue and Warner Street were cordoned off until about noon Thursday, and people living in the immediate area of the home were evacuated.
After Chico police, along with help from the Butte County Sheriff's Office K-9 unit, searched the house, traffic was allowed to resume.
The incident comes on the heels of other shootings in the area and Chico police is investigating whether they're related.
On Monday, police officers were at the residence on the 800 block of Rancheria Drive at about 2:45 a.m. after reports of someone shooting into the home, according to Chico police records.
Just a day later, at about 2:20 a.m., a woman narrowly escaped injury, when a bullet passed through a wall above her while she slept, according to police. Several discharged casings from a shotgun and a rifle were reportedly found on the ground of the intersection of West Fourth Avenue and Warner Street, but no one was injured.
About 1 1/2 hours before Thursday's alleged shooting on Rancheria Drive, a resident in the 600 block of West Fourth Avenue called Chico police to report a lot of activity in the area.
According to police records, the caller stated they heard vehicles driving by and what they thought to be a gang whistle. The person, who was not identified, also stated that there were people on the lawn and they were concerned something was going to happen.
Neighbors who gathered on a lawn near the intersection of West Fourth Avenue and Warner Street said that for the last four or five nights, gunshots were heard in the area.
Thursday's shooting is an isolated investigation and has not been linked to other incidents, Gonzales said Thursday morning.
The case is being investigated by the Chico Police Department's gang unit and anyone with information is encouraged to contact Chico police at 897-5820.
There were no more details available by deadline.
Contact reporter Almendra Carpizo at 896-7760.

Spring 2020 classes have resumed online.Please visit
dcccd.edu/coronavirus for additional information and to
learn how to prepare for online classes.
This article appeared in a March 2016 issue of the student newsletter.
Spring break is a one-week opportunity to take a breather from tests, homework and studying. If your holiday plans involve a flight out of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport or Dallas Love Field, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) can get you there safely.
Travelers can start their journey at any DART light rail station and reach DFW Airport Terminal A via the Orange Line. From DFW Airport Station, passengers connect to the other four terminals via the Terminal Link bus shuttles outside of security or the SkyLink tram inside security.
DART takes travelers directly to Love Field, too. Start with either DART's
Green or Orange lines to Inwood/Love Field Station, and once there, board the Love Link Route 524 bus for an eight-minute ride to the airport.
Improved signage at the terminal and rail station, and a second bus stop near baggage claim, make riding the Love Link easier than ever. The route also now features larger buses to accommodate more passengers and luggage.
The trains and buses operate daily from approximately 5 a.m. to midnight. DART Rail operates every 8-15 minutes during rush hours, 20 minutes during the midday and weekends, and 30 minutes late at night. Bus schedules vary by neighborhood. In addition, service times and schedules vary on holidays. Additional route and fare information is available at DART.org.
Whether you are traveling by rail, bus or both, DART's free GoPass℠ app is a great travel tool. You can purchase tickets on the app, and learn when the next bus or train will arrive or leave from any station. It features a trip planner to help you get to your destination, and even offers a section highlighting local events accessible by DART.
The GoPass app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play store.
Since most trips can be completed within two hours, you'll only need a Two-Hour Pass to take DART to the airport – a great value at $2.50.

Edward Hopper is one of my favorite artists, so I was excited to see all his Maine works on exhibit at the Bowdoin Museum of Art. A lot of his time in Maine was on Monhegan Island, a noted artists' colony for over 150 years, close to us in Pemaquid. Hopper's experimentation and evolution of style and technique remind me a lot of how we innovate. I'll explain in a minute.
Hopper's paintings became more realistic and less impressionistic over time. His early paintings (1916-19's) were very impressionist with deep texture and detail in the brushstrokes, such as Monhegan Rocks and Seals (1916-19).
And yet, Hopper goes back and forth between realism as in Captain Upton's House (1927) and a bit of impressionism in my favorite of all his works, Pemaquid Light (1929), as he experiments and integrates the various styles and techniques (you can see the influence of Manet and Degas).
After this several year experimentation with impressionism, Hopper returns to his comfort zone: darker colors and more realistic representation – as in his very famous painting of a bar in Greenwich Village, Nighthawks (1942). I get lost in these paintings – I hear the men at the Pemaquid Light discussing their latest catch, where the stripers are running; I eavesdrop on the couple's conversation at the bar.
As we innovate over time, our style and technique also evolve and blend. The ways we interact, write, design and communicate shift as we have more experiences and relationships. The sift is rarely linear – a few steps forward, a few backward, a few sideways, a few perpendicular. Why? Because we are experimenting, seeing what works and what doesn't work, blending aspects of both into new forms and techniques. Think back to how you have approached business and life as you've matured. Our perceptions of the world, of others, of global events have all changed and hence, impacted our view of needs, problems and solutions.
So, how has your perspective changed over time? What have you learned through the varied experiences and relationships of your life that you can apply to when, how, where, why you innovate? How can you turn those learnings into solutions that impact lives as much as paintings impact souls?

by: Bee Gees
The original double-LP version of this compilation was one of the most generous in the Bee Gees' catalog, assembling 20 of their biggest disco-era hits and most important album tracks in one place, all while the disco boom was still alive in a lot of places. The expanded Reprise double-CD edition of this collection, released in September of 2007, boosts the original compilation's running time by more than 30 minutes, most of the latter made up of remixes and alternate mixes of established hits, such as a 12" promo version and a Teddybears remix of "Stayin' Alive," a Jason Bentley/Philip Steir remix of "You Should Be Dancing," a Count De Money remix of "If I Can't Have You," a Future Funk Squad remix of "Night Fever," and a Supreme Beings of Leisure remix of "How Deep Is Your Love." There's also one previously unissued track, "Warm Ride," without a word of mention about when or where it came from -- in its defense, it's as good a song as anything the Bee Gees actually released in the second half of the '70s. Its presence is a reminder of just how high the quality of their work was during this period, that they had material of such quality that they hadn't utilized, and that they could put it onto a compilation such as this without breaking up the concept or quality. The other selling point on this double-CD set is the sound quality, which runs circles around the prior CD version as well as the vinyl original, rivals the best-sounding audiophile versions of the trio's work, and more than matches the quality on the expanded reissues of their first three albums. ~ Bruce Eder

The Case of Chinese Indonesian EntrepreneursKoning, Juliette (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Two things characterize the ethnic Chinese overseas: their subjection to discrimination and their over-representation (relative to the local people in the place of destination) in self-employment and entrepreneurship (Chan Kwok-bun 2004:xiii). Much has been written on ethnic Chinese firms in Southeast Asia. A major part of the scholarly attention has gone into trying to understand and explain business success. As such the debate has for a long time, in a rather dichotomizing way, been divided into capitalist (profit maximisation) and cultural (personal relationship) explanations as the main drivers for this so-called success. Since the late 1990s the debate has entered a new phase, sometimes referred to as the "revisionist mood‿ enhancing the deconstruction and de-mystification of ethic Chinese businesses. Interestingly enough the debate has been rather quiet on issues of identity and ethnic self-representation. This is where this paper tries to fill a gap. By focusing on the role and meaning of ethnicity and religion (as identity markers) in enterprise development, leadership and management styles, and decision-making and networking I hope to contribute to a better understanding of the significance of "being Chinese overseas‿ and "New-Born Christian‿ in entrepreneurial identity. Empirical case material on several new-born Christian ethnic Chinese entrepreneurs of small and medium sized companies in Indonesia shall be used to explore this delicate relationship. The overtly non-Christian socio-political domination and the contested citizenship position of ethnic Chinese in parts of the region shall be features of the necessary contextual discussion.

About this paper
Tax evasion is the largest economic crime in the world (in terms of global monetary loss), costing trillions of dollars to governments around the globe. Traditional rules-based systems and one-off investigations are not enough to close the tax gap, especially when fraudsters use sophisticated schemes.
Advances in high-performance analytics have given government agencies new power to tackle the problem. This paper presents highlights of a webinar on the topic, sponsored by SAS and hosted by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. These insights from tax authorities apply to different types of fraud in other industries as well.

Preparing academically talented undergraduates today, to change the face of higher education tomorrow.
The McNair Scholars Program is a federally funded effort to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups who go on to graduate study. The program is named after Ronald E. McNair, an African-American physicist and NASA astronaut who died in the Challenger explosion in 1986.
The Westminster College McNair Scholars Program draws students from three campuses: Westminster College, Salt Lake Community College, and College of Southern Idaho. By encouraging and supporting qualified students through undergraduate school and the transition to graduate school, the ultimate goal is to increase faculty diversity in colleges and universities.
Whether or not you reach your goals in life depends entirely on how well you prepare for them and how badly you want them. You're eagles! Stretch your wings and fly to the sky!
Ronald E. McNair was born on October 21, 1950 in Lake City, South Carolina. He achieved early success as both a student and an athlete in the segregated public schools he attended. Valedictorian of his high school class, he attended North Carolina A & T State University where in 1971 he received a B.S. degree in physics, magna cum laude. He went on to study physics at MIT, specializing in quantum electronics and laser technology, and completed his PhD in 1977 at the age of 26.
Dr. McNair became a recognized expert in laser physics, and worked for the Hughes Research Laboratories in California. Here, he conducted research on electro-optic laser modulation for satellite-to-satellite space communications. This research led McNair into close contact with the space program; when the opportunity presented itself he applied for astronaut training and was selected in 1978. He was one of the first three African Americans chosen by NASA. As a mission specialist aboard the February 1984 flight of the shuttle Challenger, he became the second African-American in space.
Ronald McNair received many fellowships and commendations; among his achievements were three honorary doctoral degrees. In addition to his stellar academic success, he was a well-rounded person. A leader in track and football in high school, he also became a black belt in Karate, and while in graduate school he offered Karate classes at St. Paul's AME Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was an accomplished jazz saxophonist, and a devoted husband and father to Cheryl and their two children.
After his death in the Challenger explosion in January 1986, members of Congress provided funding for the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program. Dr. McNair set high standards for himself, and dared to make his dreams come true. The program that bears his name is dedicated to the success of low-income/ first-generation college students and students from underrepresented groups who aspire to graduate studies.
Before you can make a dream come true, you must first have one.
** Travel funds are contingent upon program participation and are granted at the discretion of the director.*** Funds are distributed at the discretion of the Financial Aid office. The McNair Program has no control of these funds.
All scholars must:
You must also qualify as:
Your family's federal tax information will be used to determine low-income status. Dependent students should submit their parent's/s' tax information; independent students should submit their own. Determine whether you are considered a dependent or an independent student according to FAFSA.
Preference is given to students who attend Westminster College, the College of Southern Idaho, and Salt Lake Community College.
If you fulfill these qualifications and wish to apply, download and print the McNair Scholar application packet. These are the documents you will need:
Applications are due April 30, 2020. They may be dropped off at the McNair office or mailed. If mailed, they should be postmarked by April 30, 2020.

*In fiscal year 2019-2020, the Westminster College McNair Scholars Program is funded at approximately $375,684. Of this amount, $265,684 (71%) is an annual grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Westminster College provides the remaining 29% by contributing over $110,000 of support each year.

Travel reviews for Chaloklum Bay Resort
Date of stay:
Aug 11, 2017
Accommodation and facilities:
Very poor room service for the price required The water of the swimming pool was greeen when we stayed, due to filter system out of order (obviously out of order for several days) Location is not so good, as the sea side in front of the hotel is not adequate for swimming; you need to walk 10 minutes towards the village to find a beach where to get into the water (up to the waist). All in all, there are much better places to stay in Koh Phangan
Reservation service:
The hotel was strongly recommended by Phangan-guide. We strongly resent this recommendation.

Accommodation and facilities:
For the price of an upscale hotel we had a green and unusable pool, an old bungalow without a safe, no kettle, no water in the fridge, very poor quality bedding and staff who made no effort to Improve the situation. Only the view from the bungalow was superb. In short, it was our most expensive resort on our trip and this was the most disappointing ... to absolutely get away !!
Reservation service:
Very kind interlocutor, who gave us a lot of information about the tours to do on the island. However the expected service for the hotel was not good, I think you should check the hotels more often. The website explains: Because we have been in Thailand for 15 years, including 12 years in Koh Pha Ngan, and our main strength lies in a perfect knowledge of the islands of the Gulf of Thailand (Koh Phangan, Koh Samui & Koh Tao ), Hotel establishments and persons. It was not the case for this hotel .... We were not offered to change hotels after explaining the situation by phone .... Pity.....

is expanding to cater for more than just the fishing trade that it's well know for. It is still mainly a Thai village that hasn't yet been over-effected by tourism and there is a wealth of cheap Thai restaurants serving tasty fresh squid and other local catches; but the place is also getting a bit of funky feel with the opening of some cool bars and cafes including Caf DelMar, an open air club / bar in the village.

The MLB Amateur Draft is unique in that sometimes, the players ignore that they've been drafted and head off to college for three years. That doesn't mean the NCAA doesn't suspect these kids of breaking the rules.
Below, courtesy Sports Agent Blog, is an email questionnaire—which they received from a Division I recruit—that the NCAA sent to incoming freshmen that were drafted but either did not sign contracts in time to head off to the minors or just decided they would rather attend college. Needless to say, it is hyper-specific and laughable given what we know about the revenue generated by college athletics.

Yesterday morning, I got an email from an associate producer of the Michael Medved show inviting me to discuss the recent USA Today oped on ethnic studies. They were hoping I could go on the air that afternoon—in four hours.
I was interviewed once before based on a USA Today article, over ten years ago, but that was for a puff piece on tips to survive the annual summer heat wave. I also googled and facebook inquiried Michael Medved and realized he was a conservative, which probably meant he did not want to interview me to agree with my opinion. So I had to prepare.
My main goal was not to look like a weak, lefty, sputtering fool on the air. I care deeply about this issue and believe in it. I wanted to defend it properly. So in the dwindling hours I had before my interview, I reinvested myself in the issue, realizing that from the comforts of my brief oped, where no one was opposing me, I couldn't rely on my old argument. I had to have my talking points and be prepared to debate.
Facebook and Twitter were excellent resources, with friends chiming in on how to best handle the interview. The highlights:
- My college provost, who I coincidentally had a meeting with that morning, had some of the best advice: don't use the old argument of why ethnic studies is necessary–even if it's true—that the curriculum provides a more balanced representation of perspectives in history and society for people of color. Honestly, the host and his listeners are not going to care about that argument. Reason with their bottom line, which is their fear that these kinds of courses waste taxpayers' money and promote division within an assimilated American society. The new argument for ethnic studies: these courses are crucial to a 21st century education, that in this international economy, our future students need cultural understanding of other perspectives to be able to compete in a globalized world. I do believe this, especially the stance that these courses do not have to be divisive. If anything, ethnic studies broaden and complement our traditional curriculum by being more inclusive.
- Monique Truong shared some media interview tips with the overarching theme of not being bullied or led by the interviewer. It is not my job to fill the air—it's theirs. And don't ever pretend to be an expert or speak on any issue you don't know about.
- My former colleague Todd Butler at WSU shared a fabulous tidbit about a young liberal appearing on the Bill O'Reilly Show: keep your talking points short—to fifteen seconds. That way, you get your point across and you never get interrupted. It also riles your debating opponent.
- Over pho lunch, Matt peppered me with every possible hostile question I could get from potential callers. This helped immensely. So I wasn't rattled or surprised when these calls did come in.
What I learned from the actual interview:
- There were a ton of commercials. One hour of interview was in reality only 37 minutes of airtime. I am used to listening to talk show interviews on NPR—where the guests can speak at length and debate back and forth. That didn't happen on the Medved show. He would speak, direct a question at me as the music swelled to a commercial break, and I'd often have to wait a few minutes before I could provide my answers. This actually helped me think through my argument, so I didn't mind.
- I actually found myself moving away from my talking points to simply engage in the debate, making me realize I knew more than I thought. The interviewer and his callers, while certainly full of opinions on ethnic studies courses, had such a wildly different perspective on these classes. They clearly hadn't taken the ethnic studies courses I had in my undergrad—which I credit for making me the writer and person I am today. This helped me stay cool and collected during the points, when I could have flown off into a nonsensical rage (which has happened to me before—often while driving in traffic or dealing with pushy parents at the farmer's market.)
- Tweeting and facebooking during the interview was a wonderful way to get through the commercials. I was getting emails and wonderful comments of supports from friends and colleagues.
So I feel aptly prepared the next time I get a radio interview request. I doubt I'll ever evolve into a regular talking head, but it was great fun.

Recessed Lighting in the Limelight
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2004 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 01, 2004
Recessed downlights are among the most popular installed lighting fixtures for new and remodeled homes. One study in the northeastern United States found that new homes had an average of 23 recessed cans per home. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) estimates at least 350 million recessed downlights are currently installed in U.S. homes, and around 20 million are sold each year. All those replicating fixtures seem to offer irresistible efficiency opportunities. But the vast majority of recessed downlights use incandescent light sources, because incandescent reflector lamps are readily available in various wattages and sizes and are relatively inexpensive. In California, 60% of homes built since 1990 contained recessed downlights, according to a recent study, but only 0.4% of these fixtures used compact fluorescent lamps. At the national level, annual reported sales of fluorescent residential recessed downlights make up less than 1% of total residential recessed downlight sales. Standard recessed downlights, which often allow air to leak from conditioned to unconditioned space,waste both lighting and space conditioning energy (see Figure 1). (See also "A Recessed Can of Worms,"HE Jan/Feb '01, p. 42). Many states are addressing ...

Sesame Street Games Channel is a website for Sesame Street online games, developed by 360Kid and Sesame Workshop. The channel was nominated for two Emmy Awards in 2004 and won one the following year.
| Bert's Bottlecaps
No matter how hard Bert tries to keep his bottle cap collection organized, one way or another Ernie manages to mess them up. Luckily for Bert, kids are on hand to help out. Children help Bert sort his bottle caps by placing them in one of five spots marked by overlapping rings. Caps are sorted by color, shape, and type (such as "animal," or "food"). Children must figure out what attribute goes in each ring. Then, for a really tough challenge, kids can place caps that match two rings in the overlap between them. But watch out when you're doneâ it looks like Ernie is playing frisbee in the house again!
| Cooking with Rosita
Count and cook in Spanish with Rosita and Cookie Monster.
| Dress Grover
Dress Grover in crazy outfits!
| Elmo's Footprints
Elmo needs help! Kids must match the footprints to find out who made them. Was it a slithery snake, a deer or rabbit? Three options are given and children can choose one. If you are right, you will see the animal walk down the beach while Elmo cheers!
| Elmo's Keyboard-O-Rama
Elmo's Keyboard-O-Rama is designed specifically for preschoolers and those learning the alphabet. With each press of a key, Elmo cheerfully calls out the corresponding letter and conjures an object or animal that starts with that letter. If a child presses a non-letter key such as a spacebar, Elmo giggles and laughs.
| Elmo's Laundry Game
In Elmo's Laundry Game, color, shape and pattern recognition skills are learned and tested as Elmo asks the kids for help sorting his laundry. He has dried his clothes on a clothesline and kids need to match an item on the clothesline with the pictured item. If the correct items are chosen, Elmo catches them in his basket!
| Elmo's Special Cupcakes
This linear story explores Elmo's feelings about his mommy going to work and playing with the babysitter while she is gone. Kids learn about with Elmo's feelings of uncertainty and then play a feeling game with Elmo and the babysitter, Dana. After the feeling game, everyone reads a story together, and then make collages. Bringing storytelling to new heights, children receive this narrative in several ways: visually through the animations, aurally through the narration, and also through engaging and fun interactivity.
| Global Grover Grooves
Grover, as he dances, helps to teach kids different types of dancing from different cultures. Kids can help Grover design a dance sequence! The 360KID work on Global Grover Grooves includes activity design in cooperation with the Sesame Workshop team, graphic design, illustration and animation of activities, all necessary coding, clean code and webpage layout, and compatibility with most common browsers.
| Limbo Elmo
A witty way to challenge kids' spatial skills, Limbo Elmo asks kids to choose the Muppet that will fit under the limbo stick! After every monster has had a chance to limbo, it's Elmo's turn! With fantastic animations and Elmo's great comments, this game is particularly fun to play.
| Make Elmo a Hat
Elmo wants a new hat! Kids can choose from several patterns, colors, and accessories to add to Elmo's hat, bringing laughter and new ideas. With each hat made, Elmo expresses his joy in a new payoff animation.
| Walking the Dogs
Mr. Noodle needs some guidance in finding the dogs he has to walk! Kid's voices help to tell Mr. Noodle and the player how many dogs Mr. Noodle needs to find. Once given a number, the player must help Mr. Noodle find the dogs and each one is counted until the goal number is reached. Watch out, though, Mr. Noodle has trouble walking by himself; you can imagine how hard a time he has with several dogs!
| Telly's Crayons
Telly has lost his crayons and Baby Bear is there to help find them! The crayons are hidden behind several objects on the screen, and kids must deduct which objects to look under. Telly and Baby Bear guide the kids to the correct objects by naming attributes, such as the color green, or has wheels, or lives underwater. Once all the crayons are found, Baby Bear and Telly draw a fabulous picture!
| Zoe's Dance Steps
Sesame Workshop came to 360KID with an interesting challenge: create a relevant activity in time for a guest appearance by Paula Abdul. The team quickly settled on Zoe's Dance Steps, a choreography activity that allows children the opportunity to create a dance routine for Zoe (as well as pick her outfits!). For this project, we utilized rotoscoping, a technique that enables animators to trace live action movement (for example, Paula Abdul dancing!), frame by frame, for use in animation.
| Zoe's Pet Shelter
It's time for the animals at Zoe's Pet Shelter to go to sleep! But first they must be put in their pens and Zoe needs help sorting them. There are dogs with long and short ears, spots or not, big dogs and small dogs. There are lizards and fuzzy hamsters, too. But uh-oh, just when you've finished sorting, the animals escape and Zoe thinks of a different attribute to sort by!
