Note from man who died at the WTC on 9-11 given to his family a decade laterRandy Scott worked for Euro Brokers Inc., on the 84th floor; very close to the plane's point of impact. The family took some comfort believing Randy might not have suffered.But a handwritten note with just five words and two numbers on it has changed everything for the Scott family.
The note reads, "84th floor ... West Office ...12 people trapped."It was that smudge of blood on the note -- Randy Scott's blood -- which enabled the medical examiner to use DNA technology to trace the note.By the time the note had gone through all those processes, a decade had passed.In August 2011, the medical examiner's office called Denise Scott, said it had something written, and asked her to identify it.

GSA testing new energy-saving technologies at federal buildings
Wednesday - 9/26/2012, 7:58pm EDT
The General Services Administration plans to roll out a dozen new technologies designed to better measure and manage energy use in federal facilities, the agency announced Wednesday.
GSA will install the new technologies in federal buildings across the country as part of the agency's Green Proving Ground program.
"This innovative program is another example of GSA leading the way for the federal government," said Dorothy Robyn, the newly appointed head of the agency's Public Buildings Service, in a statement. "By testing the effectiveness of these technologies, GSA is finding new ways that federal buildings across the nation can save both energy and taxpayer dollars.
Among the technologies to bet tested is a water-saving, wireless irrigation system that turns the simple act of watering the lawn into a data-driven, automated process. The tool measures soil moisture at the root level, wirelessly transmits and stores that data on cloud servers and, when necessary, triggers sprinkler systems.
Electrochromic windows, which transition from a clear to an opaque facade, will be installed to optimize daylight and better regulate indoor temperatures. Other technologies include new lighting, heating and power-generation technologies.
GSA cites previous sustainability success
The expanded testing comes as GSA released its latest assessment of two other technologies that underwent full-scale evaluations over the past year.
GSA evaluated responsive-lighting systems at five federal buildings in Californa and Nevada. This includes workstation-specific lighting — lighting individual cubicles for example, as opposed to the entire room — dimmers and sensors. The results showed 27 percent to 63 percent in energy cost-savings.
GSA also tested advanced power strips to better manage "plug-load energy consumption" at eight federal buildings in the mid-Atlantic region. The plethora of devices employees plug in at the office, including smartphones and computers, draws on the energy supply even when not in use. GSA estimates these so-called "plug loads" account for as much as 25 percent of an office building's total energy consumption.
Advanced power strips allow employees to set timers specifying when circuits can be switched off, and GSA found the technology reduced plug-load energy consumption by 26 percent.
GSA's Green Proving Ground program, which aims to transform the agency's 9,600 properties into test-beds of sustainable technologies was spurred by an October 2009 executive order calling for a broad federal sustainability strategy.
In July, GSA released an updated version of its Sustainable Facilities Tool to help agencies make their facilities more energy-efficient.

need advise
Just picked up a 99 Escalade, 5.7 Vortec - 145K miles- it was displaying a P1345 (cam timing) & P0161 (rh/rr O2) code.
Corrected timing, cleared codes and she ran much better.
Full tune up... The old #'s 4 & 6 plugs looked dark & sooty... the rest were perfect.
Noticed a bit of smoke when it first fires up... but not blue.
O.K. - at first I'm thinking spider or injectors (pintles).
But, it looks more like condensation. Oil is dirty, but is not milky (as is oil cap).
PCV & vent cap have a bit milky residue though.
Runs well, but a tiny bit of a rough idle. Decent power - now.
Drove 30 miles, and set a different rear O2 & RH cat converter code.
All codes are on the RH side, a bit of moisture inside the engine ventilation system, #4 & #6 plugs dirty
I believe I have heard of intake gaskets doing this before... can anyone verify?
Pulling intake this evening - would love some verification

Inspected the MAF (no K&N thank goodness)
Weird that its only on those 2 cylinders (4&6)
Pintels look respectable, every intake port looks like there is fuel delivery
Not much carbon build-up inside... gonna split the plenum tomorrow & clean iac ports & egr circuit
No missfire or lean/rich codes, but every time I set a code, it's different, but always on RH bank.
After I button it up, gonna replace the temp switch & the rh-rr O2 sensor anyway
Just hoping an intake set might help - don't wanna pull the head

Joseph Israel Laban has been a noted investigative reporter for TV in the Philippines (check his Wikipedia entry for details), and his move into filmmaking in recent years has been guided squarely by his journalistic background and instincts.
The Youngest is inspired by a news report about a nine-year-old girl who was made pregnant by her father and became the youngest child-mother on record in the Philippines. The film presents itself as fiction, and it certainly uses the devices of fiction when it reaches for its psychological insights into the thoughts and deeds of the girl's parents, but the sense that we're close to uncomfortable truths runs like a steady back-beat throughout.
Krista (Barbara Miguel, astonishing) is living with her parents Dolores and Moises and her kid sister Nina in a village when she develops inexplicable pains in her gut. She's encouraged by the local quack Loleng (veteran star Anita Linda) to blame them on goblins. But when the real root of the problem becomes clear, Krista is taken into care, and her father Moises (a fearless performance from Jake Cuenca) is arrested. He's a lay preacher-turned-slaughterhouse worker (he gets fired for stealing meat) and a sex addict. His closing statement from his prison cell, taken with Krista's thoughts on forgiveness and lasting pain, give the film an impact way beyond its modest scale.

I got this homework question that I am stuck on. Let $J = [0, a]$ (with $a > 0$ fixed). Let $g(x)$ be a function which is continuous at all $x \in J$ and let $k(x, t, z)$ be a function which is continuous and bounded in $\{(x, t, z) \in J\times J \times \mathbb{R} : t < x\}$. Prove that there exists at least one solution of the equation: $$y(x)=g(x)+\int\limits_{0}^{x}k(x,t,y(t))dt, \ \ \ x\in J$$ It can apparently be proven in a similar way as the Peano existence theorem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_existence_theorem I would show my workings so far but I just have no idea where to start on this one. I think that we need to differentiate the given equation to transform it into an equivalent differential equation and then show that a solution to the DE exists. Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.

Yahoo May Buy Tumblr for $1 Billion
The Internet portal has held "serious talks" to acquire the micro-blogging service
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer says she's pleased the website's monthly user traffic is up 20 percent over the past 15 months.
In a possible move aimed at snatching up the young social media demographic, Yahoo has had "serious talks" about acquiring Tumblr, with the price tag reportedly being as high as $1 billion.
[CHECK OUT: U.S. News on Tumblr]
Several sources told AllThingsD Thursday that Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has been meeting with top Tumblr executives, including Tumblr CEO David Karp. The rumors of a potential acquisition come after Yahoo CFO Ken Goldman spoke at JP Morgan's Global Technology conference about the need for the company to attract the 18-to-24-year-old demographic in an effort to make Yahoo "cool again."
Tumblr is a micro-blogging platform that has grown in popularity over recent years, hosting blogs that have gone on to become or create extremely popular memes.
The potential acquisition would be Mayer's biggest move since becoming Yahoo CEO in July. Since taking the reins, Mayer has revamped the Yahoo homepage along with Yahoo Mail, and spent millions on smaller acquisitions, including a $30 million purchase of Summly, a mobile news app created by a 17-year-old British developer.
AllThingsD also reported earlier this month that Yahoo was in preliminary talks to purchase video streaming service Hulu.
The reported $1 billion price tag for Tumblr would be one of the biggest acquisition deals in tech history. By comparison, Facebook bought photo-sharing service Instagram for $1 billion, but due to Facebook's stock troubles, the final price Facebook paid was $741 million.
[READ: White House Joins Tumblr]
The pricey tag for the micro-blogging site comes as Tumblr continues to rake in cash and clicks. According to AllThingsD, in a series of fundings since 2007, Tumblr has raised $125 million, and has a reported valuation of $800 million. On its homepage Friday morning, Tumblr lists that its service has nearly 108 million blogs with over 50 billion posts. According to website metrics service Quantcast, Tumblr has seen nearly 5 billion pageviews in the last month, with over 64 million unique visitors.
Ad Week says talks between the two companies are fluid and a deal could possibly be completed by this weekend. However, tech website GigaOm says its possible that Facebook could swoop in at the last minute, due to the close relationship between Tumblr's Karp and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
GigaOm and TechChrunch speculate that Google could also be interested in acquiring Tumblr. Forbes reports that Microsoft has held meetings with Tumblr brass as well.
Maggie Fox, CEO of the Toronto-based Social Media Group, says the rumored deal is a "signal action" for Yahoo.
"It's important for them to demonstrate that they are in the game," Fox says. "If Yahoo is willing to take this risk on Tumblr, you can bet that Tumblr is going to be really strategically important to Yahoo. They could not afford to fail in the acquisition in the way that Google could."
[OPINION: In Defense of Marissa Mayer's Telecommuting Ban at Yahoo!]
Pradeep Chintagunta, professor of marketing at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, says the potential deal fits into Yahoo's strategy of "SoLoMo," a concentration on social, local and mobile growth.
"I think the fact that they are already strong on the local front, I think the idea is to strengthen their position in the other two dimensions, and I think [Tumblr] fits it well with what they have been trying to accomplish," he says.
Fox says that at a recent speaking event in New York, Karp highlighted that Tumblr has a core value focus on "helping people find stuff they like." She says that with Yahoo's back-end technology, Karp's vision could be transformed in a number of positive ways.
"Could this partnership potentially lead the way to algorithms and technology that actually creates intelligent search, that really does help people find things that they like but they didn't know about, serving things up in a way that isn't based on what you're looking for, but based on what you've liked in the past," Fox says.
Chintagunta says that if the deal goes through, the biggest question for Yahoo is how Tumblr will be integrated into Yahoo's existing properties.

Jeb Burton finishes third at Martinsville, moves to second in points
- Last Updated on 12:58 PM 04/08/13
- BY Joe Chandler
MARTINSVILLE — The only thing that would have been better for Jeb Burton in Saturday's Kroger 250 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Martinsville Speedway would have been a win.
Burton finished third in Saturday's 250-lap race, his best career finish in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, showing that his fifth-place effort in the season-opening race at Daytona International Speedway was no fluke.
The 20-year-old Halifax resident, the son of Daytona 500 winner Ward Burton, won his first career NCWTS pole Friday after having topped the speed charts in Friday's practice session.
He led the most laps in Saturday's race, leading four times for a total of 158 laps before Johnny Sauter passed him for the lead with 17 laps to go and went on to edge ThorSport Racing teammate Matt Crafton by 1.888 second to make a sweep of the season's first two Truck Series races.
Burton, who has now competed in seven career NCWTS races, left Martinsville Speedway as the highest finishing Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidate for the second race in a row. He stands in second place in the Truck Series points standings 12 points behind Sauter.
"I really wanted to win, and had them covered for half of the race," said Burton.
"I was really good at the beginning, and we adjusted to the track at halfway and we still had them covered.
"I just used up too much of the truck late," added Burton.
"But we've got nothing to hang our head about. We had a good truck all day."
Burton pitted for a fresh set of tires during the race's seventh caution period and was 13th in the running order when the race restarted on lap 150. He worked his way back to the front of the field and took the lead for the third time in the race when race leader Darrell Wallace Jr. pitted during the race's ninth caution period.
He lost the lead to Danville resident and former South Boston Speedway Champion Timothy Peters on lap 218 after the restart following the race's 10th caution period, but got it back a lap later.
Sauter took the lead from Burton on the race's final restart on lap 234 and held on the rest of the way, with Crafton getting past Burton shortly afterward to grab the runner-up spot.
"I abused the right rear tire a little bit too early when I had to get back up through the pack after we pitted," Burton explained.
"It was my fault. I thought it was 40 (laps) to go, and it was actually 60 to go. I went a little harder than I needed to and abused my right rear tire just a little bit. It cost me the win. If I would have saved my stuff a little bit more, I don't think it would have ended like it did."
Sauter said when he saw Burton's truck getting loose in the corners late in the race he knew he had a shot at the win.
"He (Burton) was coming off of the corners at a 45-degree angle for a few laps," Sauter pointed out.
"I got a good restart and he (Burton) got a little loose and I was able to clear him. I knew it was a matter of time."
Peters finished fourth with Wallace finishing fifth. Chase Elliott, Dakoda Armstrong, Ryan Sieg, Erik Jones and Ron Hornaday rounded out the top ten.
The only blemish on Burton's day came on lap 105 when his truck got into the rear of Hornaday's truck as they battled for the lead entering the third turn. Hornaday's truck spun and crashed into the wall and Burton inherited the lead.
Hornaday fell a lap down when his team made repairs to the truck but rallied to get back onto the lead lap and finish in the top ten.
"I ran in (into the corner) a little too hard and got into him," Burton explained. "There's not much else to say."
The win gave Sauter a sweep of the first two races of the season. He won the opener at Daytona five weeks ago, and with Saturday's win he became only the second driver in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series history to win the first two races of the season. Mark Martin won the first two races of the 2006 season.
Sauter averaged 62.595 mph in the race that was slowed by 11 cautions that consumed 71 laps.
There were 13 lead changes among seven drivers.

Why Do Muslims Fast During the Month of Ramadan?
We explain the islamic tradition of fasting during the muslim holy month of Ramadan.
BY: Sa'dullah Khan
Muslims all over the world observe the annual fast during the daylight hours of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, in keeping with a divine commandment documented in Chapter 2, Verse 185 of the Holy Qur'an. Furthermore, Allah states, "O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed for you as it has been prescribed to those before you in order that you may attaintaqwa
" (Chapter 2, Verse 183). From this verse, we deduce that.
- Fasting is prescribed for believers.
- Fasting has historically been an institution commonly practiced by various religious communities (for example, during Lent by Christians and on Yom Kippur by Jews).
- Fasting is a means to attaining taqwa.
implies guarding one's self from evil and the imbibing of all elements of righteousness, thus reflecting the essence of piety. In its ethical dimension, it connotes moral rectitude (which is the fruit of God-oriented vigilance), and in its spiritual dimension it connotes purification of heart and mind.
Through fasting, one demonstrates the highest degree of obedience by willfully submitting to abstaining from lawful food, drink, and sexual relations from sunrise to sunset one month every year. This regimentation is an excellent means for spiritual and moral improvement.
Through fasting, the human being comes to grip with his carnal self, taming his physical appetites, subduing his greed and lust, and thus traversing a path which progressively elevates his consciousness from the physical to the moral and ultimately to the spiritual dimension of his being. This consciousness and submission is in a cultivation of self-discipline and is the ideal catalyst to improve society by improving the individual self.
It is also by means of fasting that those who never have to hunger or thirst are (to some extent) made personally aware of the plight of the underprivileged, which thus evokes a degree of social consciousness. The aim of attainingtaqwa
is, in fact, that degree of ethical rectitude and moral elevation that flows from a heightened level of God-consciousness. It emanates from the spiritual rejuvenation inspired by the selfless act of fasting for Allah.
Q. Who should fast, and who does not have to?
Fasting during the month of Ramadan is obligatory for every mature (over the age of puberty), sane, and healthy Muslim.
Those not obliged to fast are the insane, mentally retarded, or chronically ill, and those under the age of puberty.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Citing a desire to hear as many voices as possible, the Lewiston Town Board will hold a public referendum July 15 concerning the bonding related to its $8 million civic center.
Supervisor Steve Reiter and councilmen Al Bax and Michael Marra approved the scheduling of the referendum Monday, allowing voters to decide whether the town is authorized to borrow the money needed to purchase the land from the Lewiston-Porter School District and build the facility on the 10 acres.
"I see nothing wrong with a referendum," Marra said. "With the project costing $8 million, it just makes perfect sense."
Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. July 15, a Monday, for the special election.
Filling the town's board meeting room at special meetings since March, the public has largely supported the project as vocal residents of Lewiston, Porter and Niagara Falls – and some areas even farther away – regularly promised support and several local trade unions and contractors have promised in kind or at cost services in constructing the building.
Marra said he's never seen any project receive the public support this civic center has experienced.
"I've been a representative in Lewiston for nine years, and I've never seen a project get this level of support ever," Marra said.
Sure, there's support from the athletic types in the area, from those looking for a new outlet in the Niagara region to practice football, soccer, baseball, softball, basketball and lacrosse indoors and near the Lew-Port campus. But many who packed the meeting halls hailed from parts outside Lewiston.
When it comes down to it, their support is only ceremonial, though. Lewiston residents will be the only ones allowed to cast a vote when the time comes and will determine whether the town will be able to borrow the money it needs.
That's why it's even more important, Reiter said, to have a grasp on how the Lewiston masses feel about the project.
"This is a big step," Reiter said. "Yes, we had a lot of support. Was it orchestrated? Somewhat, it was. We just want to make sure we're on firm ground with our residents."
Despite Reiter's stated goal of figuring out the public's interest, however, residents who have previously been critical of the supervisor's plans said Monday the referendum is actually required by law.
With the town looking to bond the cost of the project, paying for it could come from a number of sources. The most talked about funding has been the Niagara River Greenway Commission, which is expected to consider the town's project at its next meeting at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Beaver Island State Park, Grand Island.
If the project receives the commission's approval, part or all of the estimated $8 million price tag could be funded over the course of the next several decades.
The referendum residents will vote on in July, though, includes language expressing the possibility of a tax levy to be created as part of the vote. Town Attorney Mike Dowd said the language is misleading.
"There is no levy associated with this," he said. "It needed to be there legally, but there won't be any taxes."Contact reporter Timothy Chipp at 282-2311, ext. 2251 or follow on Twitter @timchipp.

A woman who lives in Altadena shared in the local President Streets Yahoo group Tuesday that she saw four bomb squad vehicles headed south on Altadena Drive with sirens and lights flashing.
The woman, named Maria, claimed she saw three cars and one truck that all had "Bomb Squad" clearly written on the doors and the vehicles passed her at Berendo Street and Altadena Drive at about 9 a.m.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officer Tafoya told Patch at about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday that no reports of bomb threats in Altadena had been reported.
"We'd be the first to know," Tafoya said.
Tafoya speculated that since the bomb squad vehicles were headed south on Altadena Drive they may be assisting with a bomb threat happening in Downtown Los Angeles.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal —
ALBION — Luis A. Rodriguez-Flamenco received the maximum sentence allowed by law Monday for taking the life of an Albion woman in what County Court Judge James Punch said was a "brutal, savage" act.
After a brief session at the Orleans County Court, Punch said he saw no reason for delivering anything less than a 25 years to life sentence for Rodriguez-Flamenco for second-degree murder in the Oct. 30, 2011 stabbing death of Kathleen I. Byham.
"All murders are senseless, but this was the most senseless and profoundly selfish act that I've seen," Punch said. "(Rodriguez-Flamenco) took a lovely, innocent persons life."
Rodriguez-Flamenco, a Honduran national whom law enforcement officials confirmed was in the country illegally, spoke only briefly in court after statements were made by District Attorney Joe Cardone, Public Defender Sanford Church and Paul Fox, Byham's fiance.
"Nah, just give me my time," Rodriguez-Flamenco said.
Byham, 45, sold personalized greeting cards online from her Gaines Basin Road home and had recently completed her Ph.D from the Art Institute of California-San Francisco. She died from multiple stab wounds after being assaulted by Rodriguez-Flamenco in the parking lot of the Route 31 Walmart.
Rodriguez-Flamenco was apprehended following a massive search operation and appeared repeatedly in the past year in both Albion Town Court and County Court.
In July, Rodriguez-Flamenco pleaded guilty to the repeated stabbing, which he blamed on a mixture of drugs and alcohol — an assertion challenged by Cardone at the plea hearing. His actions were captured on video by a security camera.
Cardone said Rodriguez-Flamenco has shown no remorse for the crime, which he said "couldn't get more random or violent."
"Not at all, nothing from day one," said Cardone, who requested the maximum sentence in court Monday. "This is the best justice we can do, there's no greater sentence."
Cardone said that lesser charges filed against Rodriguez-Flamenco for incidents in Medina last year and during his incarceration were being withdrawn.
Fox, still grieving the loss of Byham after 14 years together, said he hopes that Rodriguez-Flamenco is never released from prison.
"He shouldn't be let back into society," Fox said. "People should know what he did and what he is capable of doing."
A year after her needless death, Fox, a former court security officer, said he draws on Byham's memory for inspiration to carry on in her absence.
"She had been on her own since she was 11 and (had medical issues), but she went on to get a degree," said Fox, who is studying human services at GCC. "She made me promise to finish school."Contact reporter Jim Krencik at 798-1400, ext. 6327.

Major General Patricia Horoho, MSN, MS, RN, a member of the North Carolina Nurses Association (NCNA) and currently the 23rd chief of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps, has been nominated to become the Army Surgeon General, an appointment announced by U.S. Department of Defense Secretary Robert Gates. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Horoho would become the first registered nurse and woman to serve in that post.
Horoho, who also has been recommended for promotion to lieutenant general, also currently serves as the U.S. Army deputy surgeon general.
The Army Surgeon General is the top-ranking position of the U.S. Army Medical Department. The Army Surgeon General provides guidance to leading Army officials on health care matters and the military health care system. The position oversees the development, policy initiatives, organization and management of a health service system for the Army.
Horoho has commanded several Army medical centers and health systems since 2004, including the Walter Reed Health Care System in Washington, D.C., which includes eight hospitals and clinics.
On Sept. 11, 2001, the day of the terrorist airplane attack, Horoho was working in the Pentagon. Her response in providing treatment for the wounded earned her recognition as a "Nurse Hero" by the American Red Cross and Nursing Spectrum magazine.
Horoho earned a Master of Science degree as a clinical trauma nurse specialist from the University of Pittsburgh. She is a resident graduate of the Army's Command and General Staff College and the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, where she received a second Master of Science degree in National Resource Strategy.

Whitsunday Coast Australia
When Lieutenant James Cook sailed along this coast in 1770, he must have gargled with resplendent joy. The Whitsunday Islands are a travellers' wonderland where a great southern experience of sun, sand and sailing is just an outstretched arm away. It was no surprise that the 'Best Job in the World' - as promoted by Tourism Queensland - was stationed here, and received a whopping 34,000 applications.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park lies just beneath the ocean's shimmering surface, while the sky shoots starry nights almost year-round. Aside from the odd untimely storm, this is a permanent holiday paradise, equally suited to the rich, the famous and the not-so-rich-or-famous!
As though it weren't enough to claim the finest tropical islands on the planet, there are also some excellent national parks in the area offering first-class bushwalking and camping.
The gateway to the islands, Airlie Beach, is also a gateway to heady good times. Those in search of solace here, be warned – a galley of restaurants, bars and backpackers ensure the wannabe stars stay out all night.

Political Science Professor Brian Ripley has been honored with the 2013 Mercyhurst University Teaching Excellence Award, recognized as a master teacher with an extreme passion for his subject and an extraordinary drive to help both students and colleagues.
Ripley has always been drawn to teaching.
Though generations of his family had been Minnesota farmers, he headed instead to Macalester College to study political science. (Hints of his farm heritage can still be found in his office, where model tractors fill the shelves.)
On graduation, he briefly considered both law school and the ministry before deciding he belonged in the classroom. After earning his doctorate at The Ohio State University, he took his first teaching job at the University of Pittsburgh and received the Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching Award after just three years on the Pitt faculty. He also earned a 1994 Pew Faculty Fellowship in International Affairs from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
A few years later, seeking a smaller, more teaching-oriented school, he joined Professors Randy Clemons and Michael Federici in the growing political science department at Mercyhurst. He's been there since 1996, except for a three-year stint as an administrator. Though he enjoyed his service as dean of faculty, he once again decided teaching was his real calling.
Both colleagues and students call Ripley's honor "long overdue."
Students consistently pack his classes and give him superior evaluations. They describe him as clear, concise, rigorous and fair as he teaches them to think critically about the material.
Clemons, a Teaching Excellence winner himself, says Ripley is a master at leading classroom discussions in a way that conveys significant amounts of information, including theory and concepts, and in a way that is accessible and interesting to students.
Ripley's primary teaching and research interests are international relations, Asian politics and foreign policy, but he teaches a variety of courses. Foreign Policy Decisions, an upper-level course he developed, will be introduced next year.
But Ripley is perhaps even better known for his work with students outside the political science department.
He has developed Global Issues into one of the most popular courses in the core curriculum. "I enjoy engaging history majors and music majors and fashion design majors in discussion of the really significant issues on our global agenda," he says.
He adds that "citizen" will be a significant role for all these students, regardless of what path they choose after Mercyhurst. "Every citizen needs a voice and needs to be able to think through and analyze important issues," Ripley explains. "The hallmark of a liberal arts education like we offer at Mercyhurst is that graduates are able to engage in well-informed dialogue about a range of issues."
Ripley was also a pioneer of the interdisciplinary courses that now introduce Mercyhurst freshmen to college-level work. He helped create a class on Urbanology that he now teaches with Professors Laura Lewis and Ruth Jolie of the social work and anthropology departments, respectively. He's working with Lewis on his first book, a collection of case studies that grew out of the Urbanology class.
Modestly, he says he likes being part of such interdisciplinary teams because it's a treat to see other faculty teach and to be a student in their classrooms.
Ripley formerly directed the Public Affairs Forum of the Mercyhurst Center for Applied Politics, served as associate dean of the School of Social Sciences at Mercyhurst, and directed the Model UN program on campus.
His early research included articles and book chapters on foreign policy decision-making. More recently his work on pedagogy in political science has been published in International Studies Perspectives and the Journal of Political Science Education. He is a member of the Foreign Policy Analysis and Active Learning in International Affairs (ALIAS) sections of the International Studies Association (ISA), is a frequent presenter and panelist at ISA conferences, and serves on the editorial board of International Studies Perspectives.
"Brian is a good friend and a valued colleague whose keen analytical mind, general competence, sharp wit, genial personality, habit of asking important questions and generous outreach to younger colleagues have helped First Floor Preston be a better place to work," Clemons said.
The Teaching Excellence Award will be presented May 10 during an end-of-year reception for the Mercyhurst faculty.

In today's column, I wrote about Indian River County giving 26 officials a vehicle allowance of $4,200 annually. To me, it's a perk from a bygone era.
The city of Vero Beach may top that figure, though.
James O'Connor, the city's first choice for city manager, could be offered a car allowance of $400 a month -- or $4,800 a year.
That's a figure being tossed around by the city's "contract committee."
The committee is basically using David Mekarski's 2004 contract as a template. Mekarski's contract called for him to receive a vehicle allowance of $300 -- or $3,600.
Here's the kicker, as stated in the contract: "The City shall reimburse the Manager at the approved City rates for any business use of the vehicle beyond the County boundary."
In other words, he would receive $4,800 a year just for travel inside the county.

Noah is nineteen. He is very nice but once and a while he can be very, very mean. He plays guitar. He hates his parents. If you ask, he gets all mad and what not. He can be quiet when you first meet him, but may come out of his 'shell' when you keep talking to him. He is also very reserved. Noah is single and looking.

I make new resolutions every year. There's something about Jan. 1 that makes me want to start some things fresh.
And usually I'm able to stick to about half of them—like giving up watermelon for the month of February or taking a nap once a week. (Wink)
Try as I might, I haven't been able to convince myself that a gym is a great place to be three times a week—however, I'll give it another shot in 2013.
Patch wants to know what resolutions you've made for the new year. Have you vowed to have a family movie night each week? Take a family vacation to Yellowstone National Park? Make a standing date with your partner? Or maybe you've decided to count to three before yelling at your clumsy nine-year-old for breaking yet another glass dish.
Tell us your resolutions in the comments section below. If you haven't made any yet, feel free to steal one from above. (Another wink)

In order to reach the pinnacle of your game, you've got to have balance between your technique and your equipment. It's never been as easy as it will be with the Storm Sync!
Starting at the center, the technical team incorporated our strongest asymmetrical design to date, a shape with .028 intermediate differential, known as the G2 core. Why G2? Because it's the second generation of our Shape-Lock HD core which powered the original Virtual Gravity!
This new shape helps you best select the proper layout to produce the desired migration path and resulting ball motion, a system recognized as the Vector Layout System. This helps explain the theories behind the Lightning Strikes PSA drilling guide which brought you the pin buffer system of laying out bowling balls.
