"Menu writing is an art form seldom appreciated. In our restaurants, we put an incredible amount of time and thought into crafting menus. It's remarkable to see menus being preserved and documented, for them to become a resource for future chefs, sociologists, historians and everyone who loves food.

10.31.11 | The Fred Rogers Center has been part of several recent efforts to develop digital media guidelines for young children and to help define what we mean by “quality” for those children who are old enough to engage with new media tools. In this podcast at the Early Ed Watch blog , Lisa Guernsey, director of the early education initiative at New America Foundation, talks with Rita Catalano, executive director at the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children’s Media at Saint Vincent College, about two specific efforts underway to develop guidelines for educators and families. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), in partnership with the Fred Rogers Center, is working to create a position statement on the best practices for technology, media and early childhood. The statement, which is currently in draft form, updates a similar statement from 1996.

App accounts can then gain access to all of Google+’s features, like Circles, video chat Hangouts and more. However, as The Next Web’s Matthew Panzarino notes, doing so will allow the Apps account administrator to both access and modify all of your Google+ activity. This is pointed out in Google’s Help Center, which states:
