Newly Restored, Boldly Colorful Harry Smith Films At I-House
Lightbox @ International House 3701 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, PA, 19104 United States (map)
How's this for an enviable first sentence of a Wikipedia entry:
Harry Everett Smith (May 29, 1923 in Portland, Oregon – November 27, 1991 in New York City) was a visual artist, experimental filmmaker, record collector, bohemian, mystic, and largely self-taught student of anthropology.
That's cramming a lot of hey-what-now into a small amount of space, which the world tends to do to even the most important and influential among us. And so the world largely has been remembering Smith as a folklorist since his death, on account of Anthology Of American Folk Music, a document so important that one could argue that the '60s wouldn't/couldn't have happened the way they did without it. But recently, Smith has been getting his due, largely overdue, as a groundbreaking experimental filmmaker, thanks to a restoration project by Anthology Film Archives. This screening, featuring newly restored Smith films, also coincides with the twin publications of Paper Airplanes: The Collections of Harry Smith, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2 and String Figures: The Collections of Harry Smith, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, both of which expand upon Smith's status as artistic and curatorial polymath.

The Closet Question: Who Would Wear This Stuff?
'Fashion Star,' Designer Competition Series on NBC
By NEIL GENZLINGER MARCH 12, 2012

Those who know Jessica Simpson and Nicole Richie just from their less-intellectual pursuits might be surprised to learn, through the new NBC series "Fashion Star," that they can actually sound quite smart when in their element. Here's another surprise delivered by this addictive little show, which has its premiere Tuesday night: "Project Runway" didn't exhaust the possibilities of fashion-designer television.
Yes, "Fashion Star" is another competition show for up-and-coming designers, but a couple of twists set it apart. The biggest is that it puts front and center the question any layman has when peering into the high-fashion world: "Who besides a supermodel would ever wear this stuff?"

The show, which begins with 14 designers, parades the competitors' creations in front of three buyers, Caprice Willard of Macy's, Terron E. Schaefer of Saks Fifth Avenue and Nicole Christie of H&M. After each runway walk there's a delicious moment as designers and viewers wait to see whether the buyers will flash a dollar amount on the screens in front of them — a bid for the right to carry the design in their respective stores — or the dreaded words "No Offer."
The buyers add a welcome practicality to the proceedings. Nice piece but way too heavy for the spring season, they might say. Or, looks good on a runway, but my customers' vision is limited by the confines of a store. The show's big gimmick is that the designs that draw a bid will be available the next day in the store that made the winning bid and online immediately.

It's the ultimate in product placement, a new achievement, if that's the word, in the transformation of television into one giant commercial. But dang it, it's kind of fun.
The show spends a lot more time on the runway and a lot less in the sewing room than "Project Runway" does, and the fashion walks are presented with booming music before a whooping audience, taking on the tenor of a theatrical spectacle. Viewers who like backstage traumas involving fabric that won't behave may be disappointed, but those who come for the clothes will be sated.
Excerpt: 'Fashion Star'
Elle Macpherson hosts the new fashion competition show on NBC.
By Courtesy of NBC on Publish Date March 12, 2012. . Watch in Times Video »
Ms. Richie and Ms. Simpson, along with the designer John Varvatos, constitute a panel of mentors who try to nudge the designers away from bad decisions and toward marketable clothing. Sometimes they're ignored, though their advice is always on target.
The format is a bit involved, but here's the gist: Designers who get a bid from a buyer automatically move on to the next week; those who don't are subject to elimination. Somehow a "bottom three" are chosen from that group, the mentors have the opportunity to "save" one of those, and the other two stand before the buyers, who give one of them the boot.
Elle Macpherson, the show's host, is the only dead spot, but she isn't around much. The real stars are the designers, and it's an eclectic bunch, some already working in the industry, others who dream to. The group includes Oscar Fierro, a particularly irritating drama queen; the cocky, bowtie-wearing Ross Bennett; the androgynous Kara Laricks; and assorted others. Personalities and back stories are unveiled slowly, which should give the show plenty to fill time with as the field narrows.
Also worth noting: "Fashion Star" gets high marks for diversity, among the designers, the panelists, the models. Seems appropriate. Almost everybody wears clothes.
NBC, Tuesday night at 9:30, Eastern and Pacific times; 8:30, Central time.

Johnston, James Deutch and Elle Macpherson, executive producers; George Sealey, Charles Wachter, Michael Rucker and Casey Kriley, co-executive producers; Ms. Macpherson, host; Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and John Varvatos, celebrity mentors; Caprice Willard, Terron E.

Who Is John Craigie? 5 Things You Need to Know
Carrie Horton
Carrie Horton Published: January 27, 2017
Courtesy of Hearth Music
Upon first listen to folk-Americana artist John Craigie, listeners will undoubtedly be reminded of the warbling, wandering voice of John Prine and the introspective lyrics of Bob Dylan (not to mention those harmonica riffs!). Those associations are well warranted based on Craigie's 10th studio album, No Rain, No Rose, released on Friday (Jan. 27), on which the artist shows off his storytelling prowess, poignant songwriting and sense of humor.
"It is the job of the folksinger to present someone to the audience that is relatable. To dissolve the wall between performer and listener as much as possible," Craigie says. "People want to hear your story that, in turn, is their story too.
"Music is not about making you feel better," he adds. "It's about making you feel that you're not alone."
If those words represent Craigie's vision as a musician, he's accomplished it with No Rain, No Rose. Not only do the album's 13 tracks reveal a portrait of an intimate storyteller with universal appeal, but the project was inspired by Craigie's desire to make music in community. No Rain, No Rose was recorded in the singer's hometown of Portland, Ore., in the old Victorian house in which he currently lives, alongside his best friends from the (immensely talented) Portland music scene: Gregory Alan Isakov, the Shook Twins and Tyler Thompson and Jay Cobb Anderson of Fruition. The record is truly a collaborative effort in support of Craigie's homey, well-crafted songs.
Whether he's opening for Americana favorites such as Shawn Colvin or Trampled By Turtles, traveling all over the U.S. for his charmingly hilarious live shows or releasing an inventively organic new album, Craigie is consistently revealing a new side of his music to longtime fans and new listeners alike.

Pulmonary Sarcoidosis Vs Tuberculosis
Sarcoidosis with a prevalence of 10/100,000, is a multisystem disease of unknown etiology characterized by non-caseating granulomas.i It involves virtually any organ, lungs, thoracic lymph nodes, skin liver, central nervous system, eyes, kidneys and heart, and is more common in Afro-Americans. There is no sex predilection but some manifestations of the disease are more common is females. ВІ It begins in the third or fourth decade and tends to be rare in children and the elderly.? We are presenting a case of sarcoidosis of the lungs which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of tuberculosis, common in countries like Pakistan.
Considering the common disease first which is tuberculosis, long-standing history of low grade fever, weight loss and persistent cough not responding to anitibiotics along with raised ESR and positive PPD(13 mm) supports tuberculosis put PPD is not reliable in developing countries as a tool for diagnosis.
Diagnostic procedure performed was an endobronchial biopsy. ВІ Histopathological examination showed multiple granulomas, composed of epitheloid histiocytes, with occasional Langerhan's giant cell and no necrosis. According to one study endobronchial biopsy increased the yield of fibreoptic bronchoscopy by 20.6%.4 Fungal stain, AFB stains and cultures, were negative (Table II).
The patient had X-ray findings consistent with stage II disease. 1,5 Unilateral hilar adenopathy is an atypical manifestation of sarcoidosis in initial stage. 6 Her ACE level was raised about three folds, serum calcium was in upper normal range and ESR was persistently raised (Table I) supported by radiological findings, which favour sarcoidosis. PPD is negative in sarcoidosis are anergic to PPD tuberculin but distribution of memory T-cells in the blood and humoral immune response are normal and opportunistic infections are rare.В№
Fifty percent of sarcoid cases have clinically silent involvement of organs, which is one of the hallmarks.В№ 20-40% of symptomatic patients have respiratory symtoms and 10-40% have eye pain, rashes arthralgia and other symptoms while 20-30% with constitutional symptoms like weight loss and fatigue.В№
Sarcoidosis may present atypically as Lofgrens and HeerFordt's syndrome.В№ Sarcoidosis in younger patients with spontaneous remission and less than two years duration of symptoms are classified as subacute while chronic form have more than two years duration with insidious onset and presents with constitutional symptoms, pulmonary fibrosis and nephrocalcinosis.В№
In one study in which histopathological diagnosis required presence of non-caseating granuloma, bronchoscopic biopsy yielded diagnosis in 60% of patients with stage I disease, tranbronchial needle aspiration yielded diagnosis in 53% and two procedures in combination yielded 83% of diagnosis. 7,8 In stage II disease probability of obtaining a positive result with a single specimen was 46%, the yielded with more specimens followed a logarithmic curve and increased to 90% with four specimen, at which point the yield approached a plateau for additional specimen. 7,8 The suggests that four biopsy specimens are sufficient to make diagnosis. Biopsy of gastrocnemius muscle is another sensitive and specific tool for diagnosis. 9 If transbronchial biopsies are non-diagnostic, mediastinal lymph node biopsies are diagnostic in 8-90% of case. 10 Finally , the patient was kept on steroids (Deltacortil) 40mg/day in divided doses and He/She responded well with remarkable improvements. 11 His/Her ESR came down to 13mm, chest X-ray showed remarkable improvement as infiltrates and bilateral hilar adenopathy disappeared altogether.
We kept His/Her on the same dose of Deltacortil till 8 weeks, and then it was trapered off to 7.5mg/day without recurrence.

10-year Anniversary Campaign — .
Ten years ago, Sat Singh organised a community group in a local fast food restaurant with young people from East London, to bring them hope and aspiration for the future.
Now celebrating ten years of existence, and having turned into a mature, creative and impactful charity, Renaissance Foundation launched at the start of 2017 its 10-year Anniversary Campaign. The goal is to raise money for the next ten years and help the charity achieve its ambitious growth plans.
The campaign consists of various fundraising initiatives aimed at individuals and organisations, and a series of events offered to all supporters of the charity.
Our aim over the next five-year period is to increase the annual intake from each of our three groups of young carers, young hospital patients transitioning from child care to adult care and school pupils at risk to 60, leading to over 350 active service users by 2022. The encouraging feedback we regularly receive from our partners in hospitals, schools and young carers organisations reflects the urgent need for our services and the substantial positive impact that our programme has on the three communities. This shows that an expansion of our programme delivery is needed. This will require investment in our team, which will be leveraged over time.
As part of its 10-year Anniversary Campaign, the charity has launched a new fundraising scheme called the Founder Friends programme. Its aim is to unite a tight group of resourceful and inspired individuals and organisations who will not only provide a platform for investment but will also give advice, encourage and represent Renaissance Foundation. Our target is to raise at least 10 contributions of £15,000 for at least a year over 2017-2018.
Exclusive invitations to attend two of our most prestigious visits with our young people. This can include special access to Wimbledon, a night at the BBC Proms backstage, or privileged access to Formula 1 circuit, as an example.
Accreditation on our website and other ad-hoc communications.
Invitations to our regular Founder Friends lunches or dinners to update you on the charity's progress.
Exclusive news updates by letter and email.
It is also possible for individuals to get involved in other ways, including by contributing lower levels of financial commitment. For more information on the Founder Friends Programme, please contact Marie Paglinghi at marie@renaissance-foundation.com.
From a leadership talk with former chairman of Arsenal Football Club, to our new annual Table Tennis Championship gathering over eight companies challenging each other fiercely at Bounce in Holborn, our series of events should provide you with something that suits your tastes and hobbies.
Get ahead of the game and add your email address to our invitation list by sending your contact details to Marie Paglinghi at marie@renaissance-foundation.com.


Below is a quote pulled from each Hall-of-Famer's "What Camp Foley Means to Me" essay. These essays can be written for a camper's 5th summer to join Bridge Crossing. Some of these essays are written when the camper was 10 or 11-year-olds!

Driven! 2017 Jaguar F-Pace Prototype
2017 Jaguar F-Pace
The early returns are promising indeed.
Mike Duff Published: Jan 21, 2016
While we might not be learning much about how the new Jaguar F-Pace will deal with the challenges typically faced by luxury crossovers, we're certainly having fun.
Jaguar Land Rover's test facility near Arjeplog in northern Sweden is practically in the Arctic Circle, and at this time of year every surface is covered in either snow or ice. Or, in the case of the 300-foot-diameter circle that we're drifting a prototype F-Pace around, a combination of both. Although it's just past noon, the sun is barely above the horizon and starting to fall, and the outside temperature is a bracing negative-22 degrees Fahrenheit. Yet this supercharged V-6 F-Pace seems entirely happy to slide around seemingly indefinitely, the cabin staying warm and the well-mannered chassis politely declining every invitation to spin out, despite the provocation of a pinned-open throttle and the deactivation of every dynamic aid.
It's a memorable introduction, and it's fair to say that our first experience of the F-Pace is highly positive. But after a day in various prototypes, many of our questions remained, at best, partially answered. This is not because of any enforced restrictions or signed-in-blood nondisclosure agreements, but rather because we can only report how the F-Pace deals with various types of thoroughly frozen water. While JLR's Revi Test Center has nearly 40 miles of tracks and courses, most of which are built on the surface of a frozen lake—including one three-quarter-mile section formed in the shape of Jaguar's "leaper" logo exclusively for our visit—not a single yard of surface is anything other than ice and snow.
The Ice Keeps Secrets
So while we expect that the F-Pace will manifest some steering feel once we're on proper roads, in Sweden the combination of winter tires and a distinct lack of nearly any surface friction meant it displayed all the feedback and resistance of an early 1980s arcade racing game. Similarly we can extrapolate little from the way it rode over Revi's glass-smooth surfaces, and we didn't get to experience the brakes under anything beyond the juddering retardation of a full ABS deployment. What we can confirm is that the F-Pace feels exciting in a way that none of its rivals do—excepting just one.
Yes, Porsche should be very flattered, and the Jaguar development team admits as much. The Macan was launched after engineering of the F-Pace was already well advanced, delivering the sharp realization that it was good enough to effectively reset the segment's benchmarks. The Jaguar originally was being developed with the target of beating the BMW X3, but the Macan caused the program to be paused for several months for things such as retuning the suspension's springs and anti-roll bars to be stiffer. According to the development team, that's also when the F-Pace went from being an SUV to what we're told to think of as a sports crossover.
Not that such a delay means much in the overall scheme of things. The F-Pace could charitably be described as being at least a decade behind the rest of the luxury segment. Jaguar's partnership with an existing and highly successful SUV specialist gives some excuse for such tardiness, but it's probably not much consolation to those who have been trying to sell the brand's existing model lineup to those convinced they really want one of those spiffy luxury off-roaders. To get away with being this late to a party you have to either sneak in very quietly or make a grand entrance.
The Usual Powertrain Suspects
Describing the F-Pace as an SUV'd version of the recently redesigned XF sedan would be unkind but not entirely unfair. The two cars sit on the same mostly aluminum platform and share large amounts of underlying structure. Jaguar admits that the bodies-in-white of both vehicles are largely the same ahead of the B-pillars, although the F-Pace gets an entirely new subframe for its longer-travel front suspension. The bulk of U.S.-market F-Paces will pack a 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 available in 340- and 380-hp states of tune; we spent most of our time in Sweden with the latter, although we also had a turn in the Euro-spec 3.0-liter V-6 diesel. The American model also will offer a 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine. Some markets will have the option of gasoline four-cylinders, rear-wheel drive, and even manual gearboxes, but U.S.-spec F-Paces will be exclusively available with Jaguar's all-wheel-drive system (beefed up from its XE, XF, and F-type applications with a larger front differential) and an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The other mechanical components are all unsurprising, with the front control-arm and rear multilink suspension setups closely related to those fitted to the XE and XF. Jaguar claims a respectable 8.3 inches of ground clearance, but the F-Pace does without air springs and only the top-spec versions have switchable dampers. Variable-ratio electric power steering is standard.
The partial disguise worn by the prototype versions we drove served to emphasize how fundamentally wagon-y the F-Pace's lines and dimensions are. Ian Callum, Jaguar's design director, doesn't really do straight lines, and the F-Pace is as curvaceous as any of his sports cars. His enthusiasm for big wheels is equally well known, and the production F-Pace will be available with pieces as large as 22 inches in diameter; despite their Continental winter tires, the prototypes we drove were still packing 20-inchers.
With temperatures cold enough to freeze nasal hairs within seconds, we don't linger to admire the exterior design. The cabin feels more familiar, like that of an XE or an XF with a slightly higher view, the switchgear and general design ethos clearly shared among the vehicles. The fat center console contains Jaguar's familiar rotary gear selector with high-spec versions getting both a 12.3-inch TFT instrument cluster and a vast, 10.2-inch touchscreen in the center of the dashboard. Sweden reveals one flaw: The thick door panels and low-mounted air vents make it very difficult to keep the side windows frost-free in these Arctic conditions. Despite our having been warned that these are working prototype vehicles, everything felt finished to an impressively high standard.
An abundance of power and limited available grip means there's plenty of opportunity to experience a handling balance that's as benign as one of Charles Dickens's more avuncular characters. As in Jaguar's existing all-wheel-drive models, most engine output heads rearward until slip is detected, with torque then diverted to the front to help pull it back onto your intended line (or something closer to it). On ice, and in the more aggressive driving modes, there's a distinct pause before the front axle steps in to do its bit; even in the default Normal mode the rear end will slide slightly. Switching to Dynamic mode, or turning the stability control down or off, produces progressively more of this power-on oversteer, with the lack of a locking differential having little effect on the F-Pace's ability to hold jaunty angles for impressive distances. On what's literally the back straight of the cat-shaped "leaper" course there's enough room to confirm that, even after building up to an indicated 75 mph, the F-Pace still happily—and predictably—claws its way sideways down the straight with the stability-control system switched off.
All of which is fun, but likely irrelevant to anybody who doesn't possess their own frozen lake to play on. And it's actually in its most cautious AdSR mode (a.k.a. Winter mode) that the F-Pace impresses most. Jaguar's chassis team developed what's described as Adaptive Surface Response (AdSR) as a system that takes input from various sensors to work out approximate grip levels on low-adhesion surfaces before you even turn the wheel, and then tries to help you make the most of them. There's none of the adrenaline-spiking oversteer of the punchier modes, and throttle response is backed off enough to make you feel as if a length of elastic has been slipped into the mechanism, but the system works subtly to minimize understeer and smooth acceleration without obvious intervention. It's an ego blow to realize that we're practically as quick around the twistier courses with the car in this most cautious setting.
The supercharged V-6 deserves praise, too, pulling strongly and delivering linear responses pretty much throughout its broad power band. (The V-6 diesel, although far torquier, feels peaky by comparison and has a far more industrial soundtrack, so don't feel too badly that we're not getting it.) The eight-speed gearbox shifts cleanly and, in its sport setting, intelligently under hard use, with the ability to override via paddles behind the steering wheel. Even switching between gears while drifting under full power wasn't an issue and didn't upset the car.
The F-Pace has another, less-exciting weapon to use against the Macan: sensibleness. The rumors from inside Jaguar are that slow sales of its previous station-wagon models mean the F-Pace, and a possible smaller sister, will fulfill the same mission from here on in. It's noticeably larger than the Porsche in back and has a far more spacious luggage area. These things matter, at least as much as the ability to go sideways on a frozen lake. For a car that we've been told marks a radical departure for Jaguar, the F-Pace feels reassuringly unradical in practice. And while there are still many unanswered questions, not the least of which being why Jaguar waited so long to launch a vehicle the market has been clamoring for, the first impressions are excellent.

Back in late February I was contacted by the Westside School PTA in Worland. My kiddo's were Westside students and it is a school I absolutely love! I was honored to be asked to participate in the Westside PTA Local Fundraiser. I absolutely love that Westside School PTA works hard to keep their fundraiser local! They ask local businesses to offer products or services to help them fundraise for the PTA. They definitely want it to be a beneficial fundraiser for the local business owner and for the PTA. They are not asking for anything free, and they are promoting local businesses! It is a win/win for the Worland Community! The fundraiser brought in around $6000 for the PTA and kept a lot of money right here in Worland! I was so happy to be one of the businesses chosen to help with this fundraiser! I offered mini sessions with the session fee 100% going to the PTA! Then, I also offered some very special packages, only available to the Westside Fundraiser.
This week, we got going on all the sessions that were sold. It was a fun two nights! And oh, my goodness, the cuteness of the kids! Here is a little sneak peek from the first night of sessions! Thank you to these families, and the ones not posted yet, for supporting Westside School and local business!
How long has it been since your kiddo's had a professional portrait done? Children grow and change so fast! Now is the time to book a portrait session for spring/early summer to get some great portraits of your kids and your family! We are offering several great spring portrait sessions, so contact us today to get yours booked! Mention Westside Fundraiser and we will make an additional donation to the Westside PTA for any session booked before May 15th! Thank you again Worland for your support of our schools and our local businesses!
Martha Deniz - Beautiful pictures ❤!!
Victoria Vasilyeva - Gorgeous kids portraits!
Shawndelle Kurka - These are so amazing.

If you want stunning furniture made for your home, why compromise? Place your faith in the hands of a master craftsman.
Founded by Laszlo (Laz) Kincses, Lazfurniture is a London-based studio focused on the design and production of premium bespoke joinery and furniture. Having learnt his craft restoring antique and heritage pieces of incredible complexity and value, Laz and his team now create contemporary joinery of the highest quality. From their cutting-edge studio in East London the team designs, builds and delivers to clients across London.
Lazfurniture works on a range of project types including: living room furniture, fitted- kitchens, libraries, bedroom pieces and highly individual items for homes and businesses.
For Laszlo Kincses furniture is more than a career. It's an obsession. Laz began his career in his native Hungary working with museums to restore antique furniture. Always intricate and often priceless, each of these pieces presented a unique set of demands and challenges. To help them rediscover former glory Laz developed a high level of skill and a sharp eye for detail. The experience nurtured a love of craft and quality.
In 2009 that passion inspired Laz to start his own company. Offering the benefits of his experience to private clients, Lazfurniture became an immediate success. Today the company has expanded to include a handpicked team that shares the same passion for design and craft. Whilst heritage and legacy pieces now represent only one aspect of the company's offering, personal involvement and a commitment to excellence remain the signature of every Lazfurniture project.
At Lazfurniture we have worked to create a seamless process that ensures our customers are constantly updated and can feel confident as we move from design to fit.
If you have a project you'd like to discuss, Laz and the team would be happy to talk through your requirements with a free consultation. Whilst the team has worked together for many years, Lazfurniture is not limited to any specific style. We pride ourselves on the ability to listen, to understand a client's needs and to tailor-make the perfect solution for every brief.
Once your brief and expectations are clear we'll create a 3-D design using powerful modeling software. Based on exact measurements this design will help you appreciate how the piece will look once installed in your home. We will continue to adjust the design until you arrive at a solution you love.
To minimize inconvenience for you, and to maximize control for us, the build will be done entirely in our East London studio. Our advanced studio is equipped with the latest machinery to save time and deliver superb build quality. The studio also allows us to take on highly complex and intricate jobs.
Delivery and installation are handled entirely by Lazfurniture. To minimize time and inconvenience to the client, we involve the entire team for installation. Our experienced technicians will be present to ensure each piece of furniture is handled carefully, and placed exactly. Once you have approved the installation, the team will make sure every room is diligently cleaned and left as found.

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert has named University of Utah English professor Paisley Rekdal as the state's new Poet Laureate.
During her four-year term, Rekdal will serve as the governor-appointed advocate for literature and the arts. She is also available to conduct readings and lead workshops for community groups, arts organizations, and educators.
Along with her official responsibilities, Rekdal plans to create a website mapping Utah writers, literary presses, and journals that includes voices from around the state as well as underrepresented communities. The project is modeled on "Mapping Salt Lake City," a web archive of art and literature that she launched with students in a 2013 nonfiction writing course.
"I want to get poets and writers whose first language isn't English on this site, and I want to reach out to the indigenous communities and make sure their contemporary poets and writers —as well as their literary forebears — are represented," she said.
Rekdal is the author of a book of essays called "The Night My Mother Met Bruce Lee," a memoir entitled "Intimate," and five books of poetry, including "Animal Eye," which won the UNT Rilke Prize. Her book "The Broken Country: On Trauma, a Crime, and the Continuing Legacy of Vietnam" is forthcoming later this year. Her work has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Amy Lowell Poetry Traveling Fellowship, an NEA Fellowship, the 2016 AWP Nonfiction Prize, and various state arts council awards. Her poems and essays have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, American Poetry Review, The Kenyon Review, Poetry, The New Republic, Tin House, the Best American Poetry series, and on National Public Radio.
The Utah Poet Laureate program was established in 1997. For more information about the program and to request a reading or workshop, contact Alyssa Hickman Grove, literary arts manager for the Utah Division of Arts & Museums, at [email protected] or 801.236.7548.


From toilets that double as sound systems to water conserving spa experiences, here's what's trendy for bathroom improvements in 2012.
Your new toilet will have a lower flush per gallon rating than the one that's in there now. Consider a dual flush version, or any low flow toilet coming on the market that meets your style preference. At the very least, your new commode is likely to feature a 1.28 gallons per flush rating - better than even the most recent 1.6 GPF offerings. You'll find them at home improvement centers from $100 to luxury showroom versions for thousands more.
The WaterSense label, launched in 2006 by the Environmental Protection Agency to promote water conservation by plumbing manufacturers and homeowners, will become as well-known as Energy Star. You'll be shopping for low flow shower heads and faucets with the WaterSense label on the box. Just as with Energy Star appliances, there is no cost premium associated with WaterSense savings - there are faucets in every price range. WaterSense shower heads are newer on the market, with a more limited selection today-mostly at affordable prices.
You'll start seeing more shower heads-especially reading shower models-using Venturi principles that deliver strong water pressure by adding air, not water, to the mix. They are available in every price range, to ultra-affordable standard heads to luxury rain showers.
You'll be able to create a custom showering experience more affordably than ever. For $300 for simple controllers, two $3500 or more for a complete luxury installation, programmable showers let you digitally set your water temperature, volume, and even massage settings before you step in. To achieve a personalized shower experience, you'll need 120 volt power source, and the thermostatic valve and controller in addition to your standard shower head or heads. Luxury models may include a steam system, a Wi-Fi source for music, multiple body spray outlets, tankless water heater, and the secondary controller to start the system from another room.
Dock your iPhone or MP3 player directly with your speaker equipped, high-tech toilet so you can entertain yourself on the commode. While you're not likely to invest $4000-$6000 for a Kohler Numi toilet using this technology today, start looking for competitive models later in the year with lower prices.
Catch up on news and weather while you brush your teeth. Television screens are being integrated into medicine cabinets and vanity mirrors. Cost? Early entries to the market command a premium $2200-$2400 price tag.
Plug your smart phone or MP3 player into your medicine cabinet so you won't miss a call or song while you're getting ready for work or bed. A built in jack keeps your unit charged ( and away from wet countertops) and linked to a built-in speaker system.
It's not just high-tech that bringing an experience to the bathroom. Trends in universal design features added comfort, convenience, and safety. But that doesn't mean your bathroom has to look institutional. Here are a few universal design innovations that can factor helpfully and stylishly in your 2012 remodeling plans.
Sleek, low-profile linear drains are ideal for creating safe, zero threshold shower designs. Unlike standard round drain covers that are typically mounted near the front end of the shower, these long, straight drains can be installed in different locations to minimize the slope of the shower floor. One popular location is at the outside edge of the shower,creating a wheelchair friendly curbless shower. More offerings in more finishes - including nearly invisible tile-in channel modes that are largely covered by shower floor tile- are becoming the standard for upscale spaces. You'll spend $500-$900 for a quality linear drain.
The rapidly expanding selection of porcelain, glass, and ceramic tiles makes it easy to find slip resistant, low maintenance floors that don't skimp on style. Expect to see faux wood, linen, and uniquely textured looks for tiled bathroom floors and walls in 2012. The texture adds both visible impact and better traction for wet feet.
The accessible tub is no longer limited to the high walled, narrow door format that dominated the market in the last decade. Newer models, such as Kohler's Elevance ($5,100) employ rising panels in front that give more of a traditional tub look with easier entry and exit. Others use standard hinged, sealed doors, but are increasing door width by several inches for better accessibility and appearance.

Aging Demographics Emphasize Safety...I never thought about that before.Thanks for sharing valuable post!!
What is the use of a beautiful bathroom if the fixtures are not functioning well. You just have to make sure that your pipes and water connections are installed properly and in good condition. with that you can make sure that your bathroom is completely operational.
Great ideas here. I'm definitely going to try to incorporate more green and/or technological products into my Austin bathroom remodeling projects. Thanks!
Many people these days are reinvesting in their homes by remodeling or renovating them. A great way to add lasting beauty and gain curb appeal, is to rework or redo the exterior of the house. There are literally hundreds of options when it comes to changing the look of your home. Roofing, windows, trims, wall coverings... the list is endless.
Thanks everyone for the comments! I really enjoy feedback.

I have used tons of hosting services in the past, The World Servers however is the worst one i ever tried. I ordered 30 VPS servers through them and never received them, they kept telling me all kinds of stories about a hacker that did things to them or whatever. Everytime i had to contact them and ask what was going on, sometimes i would have to wait up to a week for any answer and the answer was always the same. When i spoke to them they told me for weeks that my payment was hold by Paypal for whatever reasons, however when i contacted paypal they told me nothing was wrong. After 3 weeks they still kept telling the same story and after 4 weeks of still not hearing or receiving anything i asked a refund. They told me they would give me the refund in 2-3 days but i never got it from them, i had to open a case at Paypal and got my money back eventually that way. After the last communication that they would refund me they never responded to me anymore. Bad service maybe a scam.


The logical continuation of studying at master's program is an opportunity of joining the third-level education - graduate or Ph.D. program in Finance, the first in Ukraine doctoral program of European standards, organized in close collaboration with leading international universities and Kyiv-Mohyla Business School.
The studying on Ph.D. is different from the training offered by the traditional graduate school. The Specialty Council composes for each Ph.D. student the individual schedule of mastering the professionally oriented disciplines necessary for advanced studying of the material and learning of mathematical tools, required for the chosen research topic. By the fundamental principles of the effective combination of teaching and research in higher education, all the Ph.D. students are involved in participating in scientific work in international research groups.
During 2008-2010 six research groups of Ph.D. students and leading scientists, professionals, masters were formed within the Ph.D. program and the laboratory of Financial and Economic Research. They worked on solving the important scientific problems such as analysis of the impact of foreign direct investment and medium-term loans for economic development of Ukraine and countries with economies in transition, analysis of the stability of financial systems, evaluation of optimal amount of reserves for Ukraine in terms of economic instability, the development of modern methods of financial decision-making etc.
Ph.D. Program in Finance focuses on the formation of a new generation of scholars and researchers who have perfectly mastered the economic and financial theory, could comprehensively analyze a macroeconomic situation and financial policy with the use of modern mathematical tools, and were naturally integrated into global information and research space.
The course of Public Finance is oriented on introducing doctoral students to the functioning of public finance of democratic society. Such problems are presented: theoretical basics of financial activity of state and its institutions; rules of making country-level decisions; analysis of costs of bureaucracy upkeep; efficiency of governmental sector activities; financial problems of ecological policy; efficiency of budgetary redistribution processes etc.
The course aim is to form the special knowledge in the Central bank work organization, monetary policy realization, ability to perform operations connected to loans, payments, investment and definitions of the main moneraty policy principles in a short and long run periods. The course provides an overview of the recent theoretical development in the field of monetary policy and the modern macroeconomic models. Thecourse includes the theoretical issues of the monetary policy, examples of successful use of the monetary instruments in developed countries with respect to empirical achievements in this field.
The course presents an introduction to the core theoretical models of economic growth and regional integration as well as some of the related empirical literature.
The course is composed of two parts: (1) lectures on economic growth and regional integration; (2) seminars (tutorials) introducing the use of the statistical software and presenting some examples of how this software can be used in applied research in the field of economic growth and regional integration.
The course is based on the mastering of approaches to making important corporate decisions, their design, analysis, and management according to the developed financial strategy. The course should allow students to learn all major parts of theoretical and empirical research in the sphere of corporate finance. The main accents are made on the multivariate nature of corporation activities, decision-making by financial managers, and applying theoretical facts and empirical skills in order to analyse and forecast.
The aim of the course is to teach the methodological aspects of decision making models in economics and finance. A specific goal of the course is to explain the possible methods of the risk and uncertainty implementation into models of various types with their further evaluation and determination of the optimal decisions even without sertain information. The course also provides insights into the models sensitivity analysis and obtained results interpretation.
PhD research colloquium aims at the development of the independent research performance skills, ability to clearly determine the relevance, purpose and objectives of the investigation, and presentation skills. This course creates a favorable environment for the structure of the research formation, identification of the suitable methods of its realization and performance of the professional literature review in the field.
The course is dedicated to mastering the skills of econometric modelling with the help of the modern software. On the specific examples, students are introduced to using VECM, Logit, Probit, Panel Data, System of Simultanious Equations techniques to test economic relationships and model complex economic systems. The course allows to understand in practice the statistical principles in economics and finance.
The aim of the course is to deepen and broaden the skills of the complex economic and financial systems modeling using system dynamics method. During the course, the simulation models and special programs are used to study various aspects of the behavior of the complex economic and financial systems at the macro and microeconomic levels. On the base of the developed models the policies will be analyzed to define the effective strategies of the system improvement. With modern software iThink studens learn to use quantitative and qualitative data to develop and test models that can be used for a wide range of research and discussion of the topical issues and to ensure effective organization of economic and financial relations on the micro and macro level.
The aim of the course is to master fundamental theoretical knowledge and practical skills that are needed for a deep understanding of the processes occurring in the economy at the macro level, and creation of the adequate macroeconomic models with a high quality forecasts.
In the present course doctoral students are introduced to the main theoretical instruments of a financial analytic: objective and risk-neutral probabilities, random walk of market characteristics (geometrical Brownian motion), martingale processes, construction of Ito integral, multi-dimensional stochastic processes, stochastic differential equations, Kolmogorov equations, theories of valuating European, American, and exotic options, Black-Scholes and Merton models, calibration models of Cox–Ingersoll–Ross and Brace Gatarek Musiela etc. The place of stochastic calculus in the work of a financial analytic is the same as the differential calculus does in the work of a qualified engineer.
The aim of the present course is to introduce students to the technical side of developing the optimal strategy of an investor's behaviour on the bond market. The theory of bond portfolio is quite advanced and requires a bond-manager to know wide set of financial disciplines. The course allows students to practically implement the current trading strategies, as well as demonstrate original methods of playing on the obligation market.
The aim of the course is to master the fundamental knowledge of the budget process. This includes the skills of practical estimation of the budgetary institutions' revenue and expenditure, planing of the budgetary funds, identification of the rational ways of the budget funds realocation, and ability to define the effective usage of the available resources in budgetary institutions.

The main mathematical methods and models of different types of risks and methods of managing risks are explored.
The course is devoted to the study of general methodological aspects of research in finance, in particular those that are based on the positivistic and interpretivistic approaches and paradigms of modern scientific knowledge. The problems of basic financial tenets, theories, models, principles, standards and hypotheses are studied. The application of the qualitative and quantitative research methods in finance are revealed, including setting up experiments, hermeneutics, analyzing business situations, statistical methods, observations, surveys, interviews etc.. Acquired during the course knowledge allow fot mastering the methodology of scientific research of modern European and American standards of the third level education and preparation of the high quality dissertation project at the end of the course.


Propane Heaters for Heating Your Patio It is not really a difficult task to choose a patio heater. It is true that there are many choices in the market but generally you should start with choosing an energy source. There are three choices available – the electrical, gas, or propane patio heaters.

Despite these drawbacks, the benefits of having a propane patio heater is abundant. Propane is a very inexpensive type of heating source. This is the best heater to use for households that are on a budget. Compared to others, propane may also be more accessible as an energy source, although this depends on which area you live. As a decorative tool, propane patio heaters are ideal since they are more movable than other patio heaters. The benefits that you have seen above are just some of the many benefits of using propane patio heaters but there is still a greatest benefits to using these type of heaters over the others. The heating ability of propane heaters make them the best heaters for patios compared to the other types of patio heaters. You can party the whole night with propane heaters since it can provide heating for an entire large outdoor area in a manner of minutes.
