Oops, something didn't work.
Excellent and informative presentation as usual from Mr. Crockford. The links to his slides are broken. Please fix. Thanks
JS (err... ES) has emerged as one of the most powerful systems available - something I've always wondered was by design or by accident - and in the hands of poorly disciplined leadership could go disastrously awry. Great to see such responsibility and stewardship of the language.
Doug Crockford .. the 'Yoda' of JavaScript is excellent .. as always ... any serious web developer who uses JS .. needs to hear this talk ... It may not matter much today but the new standard will matter lots in a year or two!
Doug is great. He's a real asset to the language. Rock on, Doug!
Watch Doug Crockford's last year MIX10 tale on Javascript (http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/MIX/MIX10/EX39) for an amazing and intriguing story of the controversial, intriguing and popular language.
A language designed only in 10 days takes the world by storm in a unique way in spite of the initial design bugs. A COBOL vs Javascript language design and evolution process comparison would be interesting
Interesting bookmarks from the last year tale:
min 7:21 the language has been designed in 10 days
min 14:51 Funny year 2000 prediction on the end of the web after Netscape's failure
min 18:15 Javascript becomes the most popular language
min 18:40 also most unpopular language
Good parts explained till minute 35:37
What's next for Javascript from minute 35:37.
Who said computer science and technologies tales are not entertaining?
some things I don't understand about Javascript.
Why no interfaces? Why does WPF and sivlerlight not have javascript? Why is javascript not a .NET language?

A young male cougar was trapped and killed east of Bend overnight, having apparently killed two sheep in two days on a property off Chickadee Lane, an Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist said Friday.
ODFW district biologist Steven George said a broken leg may have led the animal to seek out easier prey than deer or elk.
George said the 2- to 3-year-old cougar had killed a farmer's domestic sheep Wednesday at the property just east of Powell Butte Highway, prompting a calling in of U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services, which deals with such issues in the area.
George said Oregon State Police game troopers were in charge of the investigation, but that after it was trapped and killed, it was brought to ODFW in Bend for examination.
"We're pretty confident this is the animal that was causing issues," George said, noting that it "came back yesterday and killed another one before it went into the trap."
The cougar problem was "the first one we've had for a little while," George said, 15 months after a similar trap was used to catch a cougar that was seen numerous times during daylight hours in Deschutes River Woods.
George said while the investigation is continuing, it appeared the cougar east of Bend "had an injury to it. It looked like an earlier gunshot wound to it, rather recent – within the last week. It looks older than the other shot (that killed the animal)."
With that "and a broken leg, it wasn't able to hunt very well. That's probably what prompted it to start hunting livestock, as opposed to" deer or elk, or other smaller mammals, as deer usually do.
"Normally, if we have injuries, we see deviation" from the cougar's normal behavior, the biologist said. The cougars right front leg was broken, high up in the shoulder area, which meant it would "not be able to run very fast or efficiently kill."
"Obviously, if it's killing livestock, it will continue to do that," George said. "We've seen that kind of experience."

HARPERS FERRY - Four boys from Glasgow, Scotland, are hiking the Appalachian Trail between Harpers Ferry and York, Pa., to learn about the Civil War and complete their Explorer Belt, the highest award in Scottish Scouts for their age group.
Explorer Scouts Callum Holt, 17; Andrew Moore, 17; Max Merrill, 16; and Stuart Mackle, 17, represent the Scottish Scouting for Clyde Region, and are part of 60 scouts comprising 14 teams visiting the U.S. to achieve this award. All 14 teams used Harpers Ferry as a base camp for planning their routes.
Leaders assembled their team and, although three of the four boys knew each other through scouting events, they all attend different schools and scout troops in Scotland. The boys soon realized they would enjoy making the trip together and dubbed their group "Team Maracas" after understanding they might see rattlesnakes in their travels.

Scottish Scouts Callum Holt, Stuart Mackle, Max Merrill and Andrew Moore are working on their Explorer Belt awards by taking a 10-day expedition to explore America's Civil War that began in Harpers Ferry on July 1.
The Explorer Belt is a 10-day expedition designed to bring a real understanding of a different country, its people and way of life to participating scouts. To complete the award, a scout must be more than 16 years old, be a member of either Explorer Scouts or the scout network, plan and train for an international expedition as part of a small team, travel to another country and travel through that country over 10 days, complete a self selected major project, complete 10 smaller projects, keep a notebook or diary during the expedition, take part in a debriefing after the expedition and make a presentation about the expedition.
"Our major project is based around the Civil War," Holt said. "The Battle of Gettysburg is one of the most famous battles from the war. Our project looks at how the war affected everywhere we're visiting and includes a visit to the National Park and battlefield. We're meeting with a college history lecturer who is going to tell us about the details of the battle and show us what happened where."
"The projects revolve around community work and engaging with people in the area we are visiting so we planned our route around the Appalachian Trail," he added. "Since we needed to cover 100 miles, we looked at towns and villages around the D.C. area near the AT that had interesting projects or attractions we could contribute to as part of our expedition."
The boys also decided since they were using the AT, they should help maintain the trail and plan to as they travel their route.
Although the scouts landed initially in Washington, D.C., where they enjoyed an array of capital sights, their official expedition route began in Harpers Ferry. It takes them through Shepherdstown, Boonsboro, Hagerstown, Greencastle, Waynesboro, Carroll Valley, Gettysburg, New Oxford, Spring Grove and York.
The team was given five of its 10 minor projects before the trip: visit an American scout troop, school and movie theatre and compare to their experiences with the same in Scotland; meet with an American charity and learn about their goals, and appear in the local press.
The remaining five minor projects were given to the boys by their leadership team on their first official day.
"They were a complete surprise to us," Holt said.
All four boys chuckled a bit as they remembered the list: take part in an American sport, have a meal with an American family, teach a ceilidh dance (the dancing that takes place at traditional Scottish gatherings), find out about a local custom or folk belief and find a local craft and take part in it.
The boys whittled away at their list while staying at the home of Rachel and Malcolm Hally in Shepherdstown. They attended a scout meeting, enjoyed an American meal and got a private tour from Shepherd University's George Tyler Moore Center for the Study of the Civil War.
They were also amazed by their trip to the local grocery store, where prices were far lower than Scotland's and clerks bagged the groceries for customers. They visited their first Wal-Mart, which they said to be "the greatest store in the world."
The boys, wearing scout uniforms that include colorful kilts, leather kilt bags, tasseled socks, neckerchiefs, and a shirt peppered with patches and pins, garner attention wherever they go.
"When you think of America, you think of theme parks," Merrill said. "I like exploring a whole different side of America. It"s certainly very nice so far."
"I'm enjoying meeting people. Everyone is friendly," Mackle said.
"Plus the independence to do what we want is nice," added Moore, who explained they are essentially on their own, although they do check in with their expedition leader.
Once they've completed their 10-day odyssey, the boys will end their trip by taking part in the Florida International Scouting Jamborette at Camp La-No-Che for a week.

on March 28, 2013 - 1:00 AM
In a society where teenagers feel constantly pressured to conform, finding individuality can be a challenge. While some use drawing, music or sports to express themselves, others choose to display their identities in a more ostensible way: tattoos.
Legally, it is prohibited for any minor in New York State to be tattooed, regardless of parental consent. On a person's 18th birthday, he or she is free to mark any part of his or her body. Piercings and tattoos become choices that any adult can make.
Nina LaPres, a senior at Clarence High School, got her first tattoo three days after turning 18. The script writing on the inside of her tricep reads, "I've lost my fear of falling. I will be with you," a lyric by the band My Chemical Romance.
Nina didn't come to the decision to receive a tattoo carelessly. She says that she considered the quote for a long time and that she wanted to make sure her tattoo had a "deeper meaning, which has grown even deeper now that I have gotten it."
While tattoos are becoming more and more mainstream, they can hold a certain stigma in the professional world. Nina's tattoo is in a place where she can easily cover it with sleeves, should she decide to, but more obvious tattoos can pose a problem.
Some employers will not hire a person with conspicuous tattoos, for a few potential reasons. One worry is that ink could symbolize gang or prison activity, although it has become increasingly common for tattoos to be more thoughtful and artistic.
A number of tattoos may be considered unprofessional or inappropriate in the workplace, especially those with vulgarity or any words or images that someone else might find offensive.
Another concern lies with the business' customers. If a corporation believes its clientele will be turned away by workers with tattoos, they may look for another prospective hire with clean skin.
Despite their rise in popularity and slow journey to normalcy, tattoos can still be regarded as class symbols. Certain individuals look down on those with tattoos and may recognize them as being dangerous or rebellious, even if these stereotypes are not true.
Refusing someone a job offer on the grounds of the applicant having a tattoo is not a crime. Employers are allowed to choose a dress code as long as it does not discriminate people of a certain religion or gender, and rejecting someone with ink is not recognized as intolerance.
If a person decides that he or she would like to remove a tattoo, woes can surface. The most common way of removing body ink is through laser therapy. This breaks up the pigment in the skin and essentially dissolves the tattoo.
But removing a tattoo is painful, expensive and usually takes an extended period of time. Tattoo removal can also leave behind a scar, so tattoo placement is important even if the tattoo is later removed.
Alexander Hartley, 19, kept these things in mind when he got his first tattoo on his upper left shoulder. He chose the words, "Not all those who wander are lost," by J.R.R. Tolkien. Like Nina, he wanted his tattoo to mean something important to him.
"It's a reminder that no matter where I decide to go, it doesn't matter, because I'm always right where I want to be," says Hartley.
He also says that getting his tattoo was not painful at all because he chose a reputable tattoo parlor.
The shop where someone decides to be tattooed can be very important in the eventual outcome of the tattoo. If done safely and correctly, a tattoo should not cause an unreasonable amount of discomfort and should resemble the design that the customer picked out.
According to the New York State Department of Health, if a tattooist doesn't wash his or her hands or wear gloves, uses dirty needles or ink, or fails to provide instructions on how to care for a tattoo, numerous problems can result.
Infection, bleeding, inflammation, scarring and allergic reactions are common issues that can arise from receiving a tattoo. Having previous medical conditions or being tattooed by someone who does not follow the proper safety guidelines can increase the risk of negative effects.
To minimize these risks, a person should do ample research on tattoo parlors and artists. Asking friends with ink and doing research on websites like Yelp where anyone can write reviews is a good first step. Some tattoo artists will also let prospective customers observe them while they work so they can better form an educated opinion.
Tattoos do not come cheaply. Most tattoo artists work by the hour, and price can vary depending on color, detail and size. If a person is planning to get a decent tattoo, he or she should be ready to spend a few hundred dollars.
Touch-ups every few years are also recommended. These will not be as expensive as the initial tattoo. They are meant to preserve the shape and color of the artwork.
Alison Stiglmeier, also a senior at Clarence, has gotten three tattoos since her 18th birthday. Each of them means something special to her.
"All my tattoos are on my body because they all are things in my life that have happened that are permanent, just like the ink on my skin is permanent," Alison says.
In 2011, Alison lost her mother to breast cancer, and her first tattoo serves as a memorial to her mother and a piece of the continuing relationship that they share. It reads, "While I breathe, I hope. I love you Mom."
"The biggest thing my mom taught me was to have hope, so I'll always have hope in people, events and my life for as long as I breathe," she said.
Her second tattoo, "I love you, Lord, my strength (Psalm 18:1)" illustrates her faith and the strength she receives from God when it is most needed.
Her most recent tattoo, a heart on her wrist that her mother drew in a note to her, symbolizes the healing power of a mother's love. Alison says that this tattoo is her favorite.
While some may consider their bodies as just, well, bodies, others see their appearance as a blank canvas, waiting to be filled with passions and experiences. Tattoos can mean more than what is printed on the skin; to many, they represent the unique soul hidden underneath.
When deciding whether or not to get inked, one should consider both the positive and negative consequences involved and be absolutely sure of what he or she wants. The choice belongs solely to the person wishing to express him or herself.
To see the New York State Department of Health's laws and safety procedures regarding tattoos, visit www.health.ny.gov/community/body_art or call (518) 402-7600.

Among recombinant proteins, antibodies stand out as the strongest candidates for new therapeutic drugs and represent the majority of submissions to the FDA and other regulatory agencies. Total sales of recombinant antibodies reached $15.8 billion in 2006 and are projected to go to $28.6 billion by 2010, according to Rolf Werner, Ph.D., senior vp at Boehringer Ingelheim (www.boehringer-ingelheim.com), who also noted that the biggest selling antibody of 2007 was Remicade, which racked up over $5 billion in sales worldwide.
The advancement of recombinant protein technology has enabled the humanization of antibody molecules that are well tolerated, safe, and effective. A number of new therapeutic products are in the middle of trials, and although the rate of approvals slowed in 2007, it will probably increase this year.
Yet even in the midst of abundant rewards, antibody therapeutics face enormous scientific, commercial, and legal challenges. The highly competitive environment, the burdensome pricing, lack of tissue penetration, the large upfront investment costs, and the legal thicket of overlapping patents all conspire against new recombinant antibody products. Nonetheless, a large number of antibodies are moving through clinical evaluation.
Much of the current excitement over recombinant antibody proteins is because they are the only therapeutics that extend the life of patients with metastatic disease, even though they do not provide a cure. Much discussion at the recent IBC "Antibody Production and Processing Conference" dealt with advances at both the upstream and downstream ends of the production train, which may, in the long run, help to lower costs and increase availability.
Even superbly engineered proteins can be hobbled without an optimized synthetic system. Because mammalian cells continue to dominate the market as the vehicle of choice for antibody production, the selection of the optimal cell line becomes more and more critical.
Blockbuster drugs require huge amounts of material. Cell line manipulation is a long and arduous process, and errors made early in the selection process can result in irreparable deficiencies further down the development road. So a well-researched and carefully reasoned choice of cell line can result in huge cost savings.
In the early days of recombinant antibody production, murine lymphoid cells and hybridomas were the vehicles of choice. This approach was satisfactory at a time when biotechnologists were content with mg/L of protein yield. Now with yields moving into the multiple grams per liter range, there is pressure to switch to more robust production systems. Unfortunately, the murine lines have subtly different glycosylation patterns and have proven difficult to engineer to higher levels of productivity. For this reason there is great interest in transfected human cell lines and other innovative approaches to cell biosynthesis.
Currently, the two major contenders are CHO cells and Percivia's (www percivia.com) PER.C6 line. The CHO line has the virtue of being perhaps the most widely exploited and best understood mammalian cell line in existence but it was never intended to be a protein-production factory. PER.C6, on the other hand, was specifically designed to produce biopharmaceutical products, according to DSM Biologics (www.dsm.com) and Crucell (www.crucell.com), which formed Percivia to promote the PER.C6 platform.
John Birch, Ph.D., CSO at Lonza (www.lonza.com), discussed his group's efforts to improve protein synthesis capability in the CHO cell line. Manipulation of nutritional conditions, optimization of feeding strategy, and the engineering of the genetic makeup of a particular cell isolate are the critical inputs in maximizing protein production.
In the last 40 years there have been numerous protein-free and serum-free media developed for the CHO line. The Lonza group has focused its efforts on completely protein-free media and feeds for its fed-batch culture systems. As the technology has improved, there have been increases of orders of magnitude, bringing yields in the range of grams per liters. The drivers of these advances are augmentation in cell density and enhancement in per cell protein production. As the technology matured, Lonza realized a 167-fold boost between 1990 and 2008, according to Dr. Birch.
In one series of trials, Lonza scientists isolated a variant, the CHOK1SV cell line, that achieved higher cell concentrations and maintained viability longer than another commonly used line (the CHO DG44) when grown under the same conditions. Dr. Birch strived for a simplified screening system that would allow processing of many clones with different genetic backgrounds.
"We have aimed at a straightforward screening regime," Dr. Birch stated. "We use the GS expression system, which has a high level of selection stringency, and we have started with the CHOK1SV cell line, which has improved growth characteristics."
A particularly favorable property of the cell line is its anchorage-independent growth properties. Ordinarily, CHO cell lines grow attached to the culture vessel, presumably due to the production of adhesive proteins. By selecting for a strain that grows in suspension, the Lonza workers were able to improve performance and save time during the developmental process. Using a relatively simple screening program, the Lonza group is able to routinely generate highly productive cell lines making grams per liter of antibody.
For Dr. Birch, the take-home message is that the optimal approach to improving protein output is based on ratcheting up a cell's capacity for protein synthesis. "To do this you need to understand the biological underpinnings of cell performance and perfect your tools for assessing the functional capabilities of the cells," he posited.

Ron Rolston envisioned a day when he could run practice rather than run for a plane. He wanted to manage power plays instead of players' energy levels. He dreamed of teaching rather than reacting.
His wishes have been granted.
Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier removed the interim tag from Rolston's head coaching title Tuesday and announced the 46-year-old is staying in Buffalo.
Rolston is excited to experience a full offseason, normal training camp and routine schedule rather than the whirlwind, lockout-altered pace he faced after stepping behind the bench in February.
"That's a big positive," Rolston said in First Niagara Center. "You can start from a camp and that's where it gets back to the one-on-one and getting to know the players better in a longer season and having more time to work with them.
"That provides us as an organization and the coaching staff the ability to be better prepared and to continue on the path where guys will understand even more so than they did this year."
Rolston was going to stay in the Sabres' organization one way or another. Regier gave him a multiyear contract extension when Rolston agreed to replace deposed coach Lindy Ruff 17 games into the season, so it was just a matter of determining whether Rolston would stay in Buffalo or return to Rochester.
As Regier watched Rolston coach the Sabres to a 15-11-5 record, the GM decided the interim tag was no longer necessary. A trip back to the Amerks was out of the question, too.
"I was very impressed with the work he did individually and with the players," Regier said. "I look forward to him continuing that."
Rolston would have been OK with heading back to the American Hockey League, where he spent a season and a half, but he's much happier the Sabres' interview process included him and only him.
"The transition was quick, but when you put yourself in situations, this doesn't come overnight," Rolston said. "It's a process where it's been 23 years coaching, and it's a profession, it's a passion.
"It's starting from the college level and learning from the coaches that I had an opportunity to learn from and then moved to being a head coach. You keep putting yourself in situations, getting opportunities, and then it's what you do with those opportunities.
"It was accelerated, yes, but if you keep putting yourself in those opportunities and doing the job and making the place that you are at better, then things seem to happen in a positive manner."
Regier saw enough positives to scrap his original plan of an open search.
"When we first brought Ron in as the interim coach, that was the intention, to interview other candidates," Regier said. "As it progressed and seeing Ron's interaction with the team, both as a teacher and a motivator, as we moved through the season for me personally it became more and more evident that he was a very good fit, not only for the present but for the future."
The goal for both is to create a studious atmosphere in Sabreland. Rolston came to the organization with a reputation for being a teacher after previous jobs with Harvard, Boston College and the U.S. National Team Development Program. The Sabres were the youngest team in the NHL at times this season, and they're likely to retain the title next year.
"We're a sport that I believe can do a lot more than we currently do, and culturally we need to do a lot more than we currently do with respect to us teaching and players learning," said Regier, who found an ideological match in Rolston. "He didn't have to be convinced that that work was necessary. He had already done it and been rewarded for it and had won gold medals and had grown young kids quickly and fully. It's something we need to move to professional hockey. We're going to continue to advance it."
Rolston's first step is determining his assistant coaches, a process he estimated may take a week. Ruff's assistants – notably James Patrick, Teppo Numminen, Kevyn Adams and Jim Corsi – stayed after the longtime coach was fired. Rolston likely will want his own staff, which could include Amerks interim coach Chadd Cassidy.
"Whether it was James or Kevyn or Teppo or Jim Corsi, just the quality of person there was outstanding," Rolston said. "Their professionalism in making the transition for me was exceptional. Certainly, that's appreciated. We're going to continue to evaluate that and where we want to move forward and what's the best fit for the team and the personnel that we have."
Regier said a benefit of having Rolston in place is it lets the organization get to work on next season immediately. The Sabres finished 22nd out of 30 teams, ranked 29th on the power play and 26th in penalty killing, so they need the time.
"There's a lot of positive things in terms of the personnel in the organization, young players in the organization," Rolston said, "but there's going to have to be some patience to them maturing."
"You're looking at a team next year that's a playoff-caliber team that we'll have here. ... We want to be a playoff team, but at the end of the day we want to be a playoff team that can make long runs and do what we want to do here, and that's to win a Stanley Cup."

On the ten year anniversary of the war in Iraq some local veterans took center stage at Tuesday night's Milwaukee Bucks game.
Just back from Africa, 11 members of the Madison based 115th fighter wing sat courtside as VIP guests during the Bucks pre-game shoot around.
The honor was possible because of Operation Warrior Wishes, an organization that supports wounded and non-wounded veterans.
Jeffery Vorpahl is a Wisconsin wounded warrior who got to take in the Bucks game thanks to the nonprofit organization.
"The shrapnel sprayed all of us and knocked me unconscious," Vorphal said.
"This is a great reward for what we did," Vorpahl added.

Babywearing has a lot to do with why I even started blogging (well, uh, it's the name of my blog.) But really- when I was expecting Gray a few years ago, I already knew I'd be an extended breastfeeder and co-sleeper, but I had never "worn" my babies. I had a sling before he was born and couldn't wait to wear him. I can not wait to wear this next baby, keeping him or her close to me.
Just a few weeks ago I started the babywearing bloggers blogroll and already we have almost 70 bloggers signed up... that's a lot of babywearing! I love it!
Attachment Parenting International (API), a non-profit organization that promotes parenting practices that create strong, healthy emotional bonds between children and their parents, has several exciting changes they would like to announce, including:

Did something happen to tessa/scott? their score seems low for themSome startling moments so far.
I haven't seen Tessa and Scott's skate yet, but from the protocols, it doesn't look good. Aside from the obvious error on the twizzles, they only got a level 4 on 1 of the 5 elements.

Yes. Low levels on everything but one Rhumba sequence. Tessa touched down (with her hand) during the twizzles. Just mistimed in general, I felt. Outside the first Rhumba sequence (which was a level three), this was definitely not what they're capable of.
I missed G/P, but they're in third. Get ready for the Skate Canada push next season, everyone.
Love Scott shouting "TIME" after the error to get Tessa back on track. (Could the mods merge the two threads or delete mine or something).
Your wish is my command.
It looks like either everyone was nervous, or this was a seriously tough tech panel. Darn few level 4's.
Skate Canada has been updating the protocols real time, after every team.
I am hoping videos will soon become available for interested fans outside of Canada.
Bit of both, probably. But a touch technical panel is a good thing, especially at Nationals.
Honestly, I don't want to write V/M's SD off, but.....
A bit of a so so night overall. It seemed no one, with the exception of Paul/Islam, was at their best tonight.
I'm not sure how I feel about Tessa & Scott's new choreography. The whole program was off, so it was hard to judge. Oh well. I guess even these two are human.
Weaver & Poje seemed a little more subdued, but they really did skate quite well. I thought their marks were well deserved.
Gilles & Poirier were really on fire. They were the only team who skated like they had nothing to loose...which they didn't. A nice debut for them.
I though Ralph & Hill looked nervous tonight, and a little shakey. They skated well, but again, not their best.
As for Paul & Islam, I was thrilled with the choreographic changes that they made to the program. I thought this version was much better. They looked really solid, and had nice expression throughout. Not at the level that they were last season, but given the multiple injuries Paul has had this season, I thought they looked better than could be expected. I still have my fingers crossed that these two could make the world team, but I realize that its a tall order. Still, a nice comeback for them.
Not that tall an order - G/P aren't going and they're only a point and change behind R/H.
I want Ralph/Hill to hold on for that 3rd World spot though; I really hope they do! I LOVE their FD this season!
It's a shame that Gilles/Poirier's season ends at this event.
Ralph & Hill have a seriously good FD this year; much better than their SD, at least from what I saw from the Skate America coverage.
Holy crap, W/P so close to V/M. I haven't seen this yet. I know V/M had the mistake.

A viewpoint on women in public works
Augie Chang, Vice President, Pountney Psomas, San Diego, California; member, APWA Diversity Committee
Flip Bombardier, Assistant City Manager of Operations, City of Gastonia, North Carolina; member, APWA Diversity Committee
The stage was set. Our APWA Diversity Committee had been conferring and planning ways to continue bringing diversity issues to the forefront. Concurrently, the APWA Leadership and Management Committee was working on a plan to conduct an open forum discussion at the 2005 APWA Congress and Exposition. That seemed reasonable enough, but the topic was certainly different and might even raise some eyebrows. With their focus on Women in Public Works, the intent of the forum was to bring together a group of women from the public works profession that were attending the Congress, and to openly discuss items such as the challenge of being a woman in the public works field, changes needed by management to promote women in public works and how to implement best management practices to instill positive changes for women. The Diversity Committee jumped on board with their proposed forum with a goal to actively support and participate in such.
The forum time had arrived. Needless to say, the idea of males attending a women's forum was daunting at best. A quick check of the meeting room escalated the apprehension. There in front of us was a room packed with strictly women and only two men in sight, including ourselves. It was a safe bet that we looked like two deer caught in the headlights. Moreover, it was obvious that we were going to be sacrificed and never see the public works world again. Just in case, we came well prepared for a quick exit if needed, bringing gifts of expensive candy and exotic jewelry (masquerading as exhibitor table freebies and multi-colored Mardi Gras beads from the New Orleans Exhibit Booth). Our fears included being trapped without escape for the next 60 minutes to hear all the stories of how men were the Darth Vaders of the public works world.
Obviously, we were a little uncomfortable as to the perception of our simple presence at the Women's Forum, but once we went through the introductions, we felt a little more at ease. We listened to input from many women on a wide spectrum of issues. Part of the comments were expected, others were new. Some comments certainly indicated that there was much room to improve on women's issues in public works, such as gaining credibility, respect, recognition, and of course, pay. There was a desire for more awareness of women's public works roles by their male counterparts, and women sometimes felt "isolated" amongst their peers, by both sheer numbers, as well as by standard stereotypes.
There were further comments about how some of the women in attendance had positive experiences with career opportunities and advancement, as well as positive mentoring received from male supervisors. Some comments were made that women needed to rise above the pettiness and gossip, and focus on their respective duties and their role in the workplace. Showing a strong assertiveness was offered as a possible key, together with professional respect, and furthermore highlighting the good qualities that women bring to the work environment.
Recommendations were made to the women newcomers in public works to participate more in chapter activities, which can lead to better recognition and a leadership role. The women in attendance expressed a strong desire for more (future) roundtable discussions, social events, speakers and sessions on a wide range of women's topics and mentor training (both men and women). Did we hear any "complaining"? Certainly, but probably not as much as we hear (and participate in) when a group of men get together and discuss the exact same issues.
Before we realized it, our meeting time had expired and we had actually (and quite easily) survived. Our time participating in this forum was certainly time well spent. What could we summarize from this unique experience? A lot of simple, straightforward facts; women face all of the same challenges men face in a public works profession. Credibility, respect, adequate pay and a desire to be part of a strong networking team, just to name a few. Hmmm...that not only seems reasonable, but some common ground for building professional relationships.
Do women face greater challenges than men in the public works profession? That may be entirely true. Gaining credibility in a work environment historically dominated by men, in addition to overcoming the negative stereotypes, still very likely remain obstacles in certain settings. What can we men do to assist in this cause? The first step is easy; continue to recognize the importance and benefits of diversity in our workforces. As importantly, with regard to women in management positions, recognize and take advantage of the professionalism and performance qualities that they bring to the table.
So, we issue a challenge to everyone (including men) in the public works field: Look up, look out and see the expertise, strength, dedication and other qualities that women can continue to bring the public works profession. Diversity throughout our management teams and entire workforce brings a higher level of understanding public works service and diversified problem solving skills, all resulting in a more complete delivery of services for public works-related endeavors.
Our Diversity Committee continues in 2006 to focus on Women in Public Works, with an expanded program planned at this year's Congress. We invite all to join us in these programs and actively participate.

Friday brought a familiar look back to Dirks Field.
The Fort Lewis College men�s soccer team�s touches were crisp, passes were precise, scoring chances bountiful.
The scoreline harkened back to recent successes, too.
The Skyhawks simply overpowered Colorado Christian in a 5-0 victory Friday on Senior Day at Dirks Field.
FLC jumped out early Friday and held the game in its bulldog-like jowls for the duration.
Yannis Becker opened the scoring with a spectacular effort, sliding on the end line and firing a shot back toward the net that deflected off the far left post and went in in the ninth minute.
From then on, it was off to the races for an FLC attack that regained the quickened tempo at which it so loves to play.
�It was a nice return to normalcy,� senior forward Andy Hoffman said with a smile.
The only drama in this one was Hoffman � one of four seniors � and would he or wouldn�t he crack the net. The fan favorite had several near-misses out of his six shots, drawing chants of �An-dee! An-dee! An-dee!� as the game went on. While he wasn�t able to break the seal, it�s an experience he won�t forget.
�It was good, and it kind of reassured me that I�m not crazy and that all the hard work and everything we put in, even if we are on the bench, there comes a point where we can be effective,� Hoffman said.
The remaining seniors had quality games as well. Derek Freeman and Kyle Woodson were part of a superb defensive effort that allowed only one dangerous chance, a shot off the post in the second half.
They helped FLC (9-6-2, 6-5-2 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) to a 45-1 shot advantage over Colorado Christian (1-16-0, 0-13-0 RMAC), including a 20-0 figure in shots on goal.
Daniel Wilson, a senior, also keyed possession in the central midfield and was a key player in a handful of FLC�s offensive chances.
�I think when you have Senior Day, you hope it�s not a distraction. You hope it�s an inspiration to them, and I think they did that,� FLC head coach Oige Kennedy said.
After Becker opened the scoring, Stephan Engeln doubled the advantage in the 29th minute. Becker�s corner kick was tapped back by Casey Dean, and Engeln didn�t miss a wide-open net.
The goal of the match came next: Jordan Alexander, who�s seen sporadic playing time after solid freshman and sophomore campaigns, deflected Wilson�s shot from distance with a back-heel flick facing away from the net that completely changed the shot�s trajectory and beat goalkeeper David Ilgenfritz.
Woodson made his Senior Day a memorable one by pushing the lead to 4-0 in the 80th minute. His salvo from the right side of the penalty area got a piece of a Cougar and tucked inside the left post.
�I mean, my parents are here, I�m in front of my home fans, I couldn�t ask for anything more, honestly,� Woodson said.
In the 81st, Sameth Al-Basith slipped Austin Derksen through, and Derksen buried a low shot from the left side of the penalty area to cap the scoring.
Friday�s match washed the taste of recent poor performances on the road out of FLC�s mouth and gave the Skyhawks their 18th consecutive RMAC Tournament berth. It also gave them confidence heading into Sunday�s daunting matchup with undefeated and No. 1-ranked Regis.
�Yeah, we�ve had a tough season, and some things haven�t gone our way, but we know the quality that�s in the group, and when they perform like that, they�re very hard to beat,� Kennedy said.

Frequently Asked Question
What is the appropriate dress for serving jury duty in Dallas County?
Dress as you would for church or a job interview. No shorts or tank tops are permitted.
When serving jury duty, will there be a lot of waiting involved?
It is possible that jurors may have to wait in the Central Jury Room or outside a courtroom for an indefinite period of time. This is not wasted time because the immediate availability of a jury panel frequently motivates the parties of a trial to negotiate and settle a case without a trial.
Will jurors be kept overnight in a hotel?
It is extremely unlikely that jurors will be kept together or sequestered overnight. In most cases, if it appears a jury will be sequestered, the judge will be able to forewarn the jurors.
Must jurors be paid by their employers while serving jury duty?
No, but most employers pay their employees regular salaries during the employee's jury service. It is a violation of state law for an employee to be terminated for serving jury duty.
If circumstances beyond my control prevent me from appearing on my scheduled date, and I cannot reach the department in the morning on the telephone, will a warrant be issued for my arrest?
No, you will not be arrested. There is a 2 week grace period in which you may send a letter of explanation to the Jury Services Department and you will be rescheduled. You will receive a new jury summons in the mail approximately 2-3 weeks before your rescheduled appearance date. You do not need to appear or call.
Are business and economic reasons a valid reason to be excused from jury service?
No, business and economic reasons are not valid as an exemption or an excuse from jury service.
Why am I unable to get through by telephone to the Jury Services Department at different times throughout the day?
The Jury Services Department has a limited number of employees to answer telephones. Thousands of persons are summoned for jury duty at both Dallas County locations each week so that jurors may be provided to 85 courts. With the number of persons reporting for jury duty and the volume of phone calls, phones cannot be answered at different times
throughout the day. Most questions can be answered by viewing the entire jury summons.
Exemptions, disqualifications, medical reasons and postponement requests are shown on the back side of the summons. You may claim or request those by mail. The address is located on the front side of the summons. You may request a postponement online as well.
If you do not see an exemption or disqualification that fits your situation, you will need to appear on your assigned date and speak to the Judge in the Court to which you are assigned.
How are names selected for jury service?
Every 2-1/2 years, the Secretary of State prepares Dallas County's jury wheel by combining records from driver's license, identification and voter registration records.
Why do I get so many jury summons?
You may receive a jury summons from the City government, the County government and the Federal government. To avoid receiving more than one summons per jury wheel in Dallas County, you need to check with the Elections Division of Dallas County to inquire if your driver's license number is listed on your voter's registration record.
Where do I park? Is there a fee for parking?
The parking garages operated by the County are shown on the two-sided, yellow insert included with your jury summons. If you park in one of the County garages, please use the parking validation ticket located on the front side of your jury summons, in the middle portion next to the DART information. You must present this validation ticket, along with your garage parking ticket, to the parking garage attendant upon exiting the garage to receive a reduced parking rate. THERE IS NO FREE PARKING.
How do I postpone my jury service?
Available now is an online request form which you may submit via this web site.
Click here
to submit an online jury service postponement request. You may also write a letter to the Jury Services Department and request a postponement. You will be mailed a new jury summons with your rescheduled jury service date.

V. RICHARD HARO/The (Fort Collins) Coloradoan
V. RICHARD HARO/The (Fort Collins) Coloradoan
FORT COLLINS � Sam and Ben Tollison are on a mission to bring monsters out from under the bed and into children�s arms everywhere.
�A Monster to Love� is a new Fort Collins company that offers hand-stitched, original creations to Fort Collins children. For every monster sold, a fraternal twin (inspired by real-life fraternal twins Sam and Ben) is given to a child in need of a little love.
The idea was sparked by the 10-year-olds� father, Ray Tollison, and his work with World Relief, an organization that resettles refugees.
�It all started when they�d bring refugee kids to the hospital, and it was Christmastime,� Ben said.
Since Ray and the boys began stitching monsters in December, more than 100 have gone to children served by Realities for Children, World Relief and the National Institutes of Health.
Every monster is designed by �monster maker� Ben and sewn by Ray and Sam. For now, monsters are created with a square body until the sewing team catches up with Ben�s artistic vision.
�Ben can do some pretty crazy monsters, but Sam and I are not the greatest sewers in the world,� Ray said. �We keep them simple for now.�
For every monster sewed, there�s a drawing somewhere in Ben�s �big black sketchbook.�
�I usually have a lot of ideas,� Ben said. �I fill up whole pages of my sketchbook with monsters.�
Currently, monsters are sold at fairs and various events in Northern Colorado or can be custom-ordered at www.amonstertolove.com.
Custom orders can select the color head, mouth and body � and personality � of the monster, leaving the creative design to Ben.
�We take all those things and put them together,� Ray said. �You never know exactly what you�re going to get because it has to be approved by the monster maker.�
While Ray plays a large role in the administrative and sewing side of the business, he said the idea came solely from the twins.
He�s learned to listen to their innovations since Sam successfully petitioned Gov. John Hickenlooper for the inaugural Colorado Cinnamon Roll Day last fall.
�Since Cinnamon Roll Day, we try to listen and do these things they come up with,� Ray said. �I have 5 million ideas a day, and they go nowhere. Sam and Ben have had two, and they�ve taken off. I�m just going to do what they want to do.�
Sam and Ben have big hopes for their monsters � hopes they say will only get bigger as they grow with the monsters they create.
�I just want to get to the point where we can buy a shop and expand it from there,� Ben said.
�When we become famous, we want to have a restaurant and a museum and a monster factory,� Sam said.

Kamehameha Schools Maui, a current powerhouse in high school journalism in Hawaii, took the top state prizes for best print and online editions of its Ka Leo o Na Koa at the Hawaii High School Journalism Awards on Wednesday afternoon at the Pagoda Hotel on Oahu.
In addition, the Pukalani school took home more than a dozen other awards, the most the school has ever received, said journalism adviser Kye Haina.
"We don't even know what to say. We don't even know what to make out of it. It was so many awards," Haina said via cellphone from Honolulu International Airport on Wednesday afternoon as she and her students waited for their flight back home.

Kamehameha Schools Maui journalism students Maya Nitta (from left), Mehana Lee and Reid Cairme wait for their flight to Maui at Honolulu International Airport on Wednesday afternoon after winning top state honors at the 2013 Hawaii High School Journalism Awards announced Wednesday on Oahu.
Journalism adviser
Over the last several years, Ka Leo o Na Koa, or "The Voice of the Warriors," has received state and division awards. Last year, it won the "Best in State" online award and in 2011 took home the "Best in State" for print award.
This year it won both.
Asked what the secret to success was, Haina said that was the "magic" question.
She continued, saying that she has good students who care about what they do.
"They want to do it well," she said.
The school turns out a printed paper quarterly and has a website that is updated frequently. The website requires students to turn around stories in several hours or in about one day, sometimes under the same deadlines that professionals punch out stories.
Haina said that there is a legacy of excellence and leadership left by preceding students that current ones want to maintain. That could be a motivating factor for current students to do well, she said.
One of those students who pushed for success was senior Maya Nitta of Wailuku, who served as the features editor. She said she was shocked by all the awards.
"It didn't hit me until five minutes ago, really," she said via cellphone on Oahu.
Nitta suspects that the secret to their success is the willingness of the staff to put out a good news product.
"We really, really want to do this. We want to put out a good newspaper for our readers. . . . My main concern wasn't about the competition but will our readers enjoy this?" she said of her and her colleagues work ethic.
Nitta garnered some awards herself, taking home honors in the private school category for online video and state honors for layout and design and photography, both in the print category.
She also was the most valuable staffer for the paper.
Senior Reid Cairme, the sports editor, was shocked by his school's accolades as well.
"I doubted we would win even one award," he said. "We struggled with the paper this entire year."
He said that with three less staff members than last year it was tougher to make deadlines and to get all the work done.
Even though he's the sports editor, Kamehameha Schools Maui staffers participate in all parts of the newspaper and online work, Cairme said. In fact, the Wailuku resident took home private school division honors in the news writing division for his print article on cyberbullying.
Cairme said he's not sure if he'll major in journalism, noting that the salary isn't great and that there is not much job security, alluding to the dwindling circulation of newspapers.
"But I love it a lot," he said.
He has gone over and above covering events because he enjoys reporting so much and feels a responsibility to tell the stories to his readers, said Cairme, who will be attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa in the fall.
Like Cairme, Nitta is unsure about her major, noting that she is interested in video production and at one point wanted to be a film director. She said her journalism experience at Kamehameha has taught her how to take photos and write and also has given her experience in graphic design.
She will attend Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, in the fall.
Other awards won by the school and its staff were in the private school print division for features writing, layout/design and photography. In the online private school division, the students also won for online reporting and multimedia reporting.
In the more prestigious state awards, Kamehameha Schools Maui won for news writing and feature writing for print and for online reporting and multimedia presentation.
There were no other Maui County schools that captured awards at the event.
The Hawaii High School Journalism Awards are sponsored by the Hawaii Publishers Association, Honolulu Star-Advertiser, MidWeek, and the University of Hawaii.

What a week we had last week. The #1 team in the land was shot down by the Gettysburg Bullets 11-10 bringing Stevenson to the #1 spot this week. Stevenson halted Wesley by 1 to pull to the top of the polls.
Tufts keeps on rolling as they defeated NESCAC foe Wesleyan 12-10. And the new talk of the town is Haverford. On top in the Centennial Conference after a win over a strong Washington College team. They lost a real close one against Tufts who is currently ranked #5. With a real strong strength of schedule, the Fords have proven that they're a team to reckon with.
This week offers some great conference battles that will only rival tournament time.
-Game of the Week-
#1 Stevenson @ #4 Salisbury
Stevenson may have a short reign over D3 as they play at Salisbury under the lights on Saturday night. On the other hand Salisbury is riding a 105 game winning streak in the CAC…the question is, will Stevenson snap that streak?
#7 Middlebury @ #13 Bowdoin
There's not much to say about this game except that this rivalry goes back and has flourished over the past decade. The NESCAC runs deep in the polls with 4 teams in the top 15.
#15 Washington College @ #9 Gettysburg 1:00
With Haverford on top, this game is for a home conference playoff game. Neither team wants to see the other away from their house. WAC is coming off a loss to Haverford and the Bullets are riding high from last weeks upset. There will be no love between these two squads.
Commonwealth Coast Clash
#12 Endicott @ #10 Western New England
I'd say that these programs are just sliding throught the schedule unnoticed. But make sure that you take notice as both will be in the NCAA's and both will be making it known come May.
SUNY Showdown
#6 Cortland State @ #19 Geneseo State - Wed 4/8
You gotta love the SUNYAC rivalries. It is a conference full of talented teams. Heck if you through in the Bing and Albany the SUNY system is total powerhouse in lax.

ADDIS ABABA, 8 June 2012 – A conference on strategies to promote economic diversification in Africa, with a focus on investment in the agribusiness and pharmaceutical sectors, took place on 4-5 June in the Ethiopian capital. The two-day event was organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the African Union Commission (AUC).
"Africa, especially sub-Saharan Africa, can do much more to add value to farm production," said Wilfried Luetkenhorst, UNIDO Managing Director. "The region's insufficient capacity to produce and process agro-industrial commodities limits the scope for industrialization and means countries are missing opportunities to create jobs."
Luetkenhorst added, "The pharmaceutical sector can become another strategic sector. Local production of generic medicines promises affordability and availability of needed drugs, employment opportunities and overall public health benefits."
The two-day conference promoted investment collaboration between African companies and companies from both developed and emerging economies, and provided a forum for business-to-business linkages among stakeholders, particularly private sector companies.
The ultimate goal was to bring together companies operating in the agribusiness and pharmaceutical sectors in Africa with a view to agreeing on specific and practical measures to promote economic diversification.
The conference promoted South-South cooperation, examined technical cooperation funding opportunities, and helped develop a business-to-business platform to increase the visibility of African companies in both sectors.
The conference was a follow-up to the 19th Conference of African Ministers of Industry, in March 2011, where there was a consensus on the need to focus on agro- and pharmaceutical industries in order to accelerate industrial development in Africa.

LEWISTON — There was nothing unlucky about (win) No. 13 for the Niagara Purple Eagles on Saturday.
With a second chance to seize the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference regular-season championship – and the bid to the National Invitation Tournament that comes with it – coach Joe Mihalich's squad turned in a virtuoso performance in a convincing 78-61 win over Saint Peter's before 1,665 inside the Gallagher Center.
"I thought we played like champions," Mihalich said. "We didn't back into anything."
The Purple Eagles' 13th MAAC win gave them their first regular-season championship since 2005, and ensured they'll be playing a postseason tournament game for the first time since 2009.
While the reward of an NIT berth is nice, Niagara has its sights set higher. Saturday's win also gives them the No. 1 seed for the MAAC Tournament, which starts Thursday in Springfield, Mass., and rewards its winner with a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
"It's just a reflection of all the work we put in," said NU junior Marvin Jordan, who had 12 points Saturday. "We still know there's a bigger goal ahead of us."
By the time Mihalich had sat down for his postgame interview, he'd already hit his team with the usual spiel about how every team is 0-0 come conference tournament time.
"These poor kids had to listen to me say it already," he said. "That's what it is, but we're just going to enjoy this for a couple days. Monday morning we'll start talking about it again. To win the conference regular-season championship, it's special."
It's also somewhat unexpected for a young Niagara team that was projected to finish fifth in the conference before the season in a vote of coaches.
"At the beginning of the year, I said that 13 wins would win the league," Mihalich said. "I figured somebody would do it, but I didn't think it would be us."
The Purple Eagles squandered their first opportunity to prove their coach wrong Thursday night when they dropped a 68-59 decision to Rider. They came out Saturday determined to right that wrong.
Niagara started at a blistering pace, hitting seven of its first eight shots, with the only miss coming when Juan'ya Green had his shot blocked. NU had an early 15-9 lead but cooled considerably from that point, going just 5 for 17 the rest of the half.
With the Niagara offense stagnant, Saint Peter's (9-20, 3-15) went on an 11-2 run to close the Purple Eagles' lead to 21-20. A smooth reverse layup by Peacocks freshman guard Chazz Patterson tied the game, 26-26, with 3:28 left in the first half, but Niagara responded with a 6-2 spurt. NU freshman T.J. Cline beat the first-half buzzer with a contested three from the right wing for a 32-28 halftime lead.
"It was a little bit of a mojo-type shot," Mihalich said. "He's got that confidence. He doesn't play like a freshman, that guy."
Saint Peter's cut the Niagara lead to 35-32 with 15:39 left on Darius Conley's layup. Niagara then caught fire.
First it was a three-pointer by Jordan. Then it was Green's turn. Then Jordan, again. Finally, Antoine Mason hit the Purple Eagles' fourth straight three-pointer, and was fouled. He completed the four-point play and the 13-2 blitz gave Niagara a 48-34 lead.
The Purple Eagles' run was aided by six straight missed free throws by Saint Peter's, the last four of which came from Conley – including one airball.
With Green running the show, Niagara (18-12, 13-5) outscored Saint Peter's, 36-12, over a stretch of 9:09 in the second half. The Eagles had 21 assists on 27 field goals and just eight turnovers, with Green scoring 12 points and dishing out nine assists.
"If we share the ball – or like coach says, share the game – and we're all making shots, we'll be a great team," Green said.
Or maybe like Saturday, a championship team.
