The Program in Sustainable Energy is designed for Princeton undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing careers or graduate education in the area of sustainable energy science and technology to achieve:
1. An understanding of current energy resources, carriers, end users, technologies, and their impact on climate and environment.
2. The ability to quantitatively analyze, design, and develop innovative energy systems and technologies that support sustainable economic growth, energy security, biological diversity, and environmental harmony for life on Earth.
3. An understanding of Earth, global climate, and environmental change from the perspective of engineering, technology, and policy.
The future of societies, the global economy, and the global environment depend on collaborative research into renewable energy, alternative fuels, advanced energy conversion and storage systems, technology transfer to developing countries, and prudent judgment on policies to support sustainable energy technology. Innovations and inventions require multidisciplinary approaches and entrepreneurship, as well as grounding in theory and practice, in topics that are not covered by a single department. This certificate program offers an integrated set of core and elective courses, introducing students to fundamental concepts, providing depth in specific fields of interest, gaining laboratory and site visit experiences, and setting the stage for further work in the field. Students are encouraged to expand their experience through summer internships with companies, government agencies, and university laboratories.
Admission to the Program
The program is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have a satisfactory background in engineering and science. Normally, students should have successfully completed MAT 103, MAT 104, PHY 103, and PHY 104 (or their equivalents, including AP equivalents). Students who have slightly different preparation should consult with the program director to discuss eligibility. A student planning to earn the program certificate should complete the Student Profile as early as possible, and no later than the mid-point of the fall term of his or her junior year. Application for admission is made to the Program Committee. Upon acceptance to the program, the program director will assign a program adviser to the student to assist in planning a program of study, research, and off-campus internship.
Program of Study
A concentrator in this program must satisfy both program and departmental requirements. The program for each student is worked out by the student and his or her departmental adviser. The program requirements are as follows:
1. All students must take six courses, including two core courses and four elective courses. The two core courses must be taken by choosing one from the Introduction to Energy Technology category (A1) and the other one from the Introduction to Climate Change and Geo-environmental Science category (A2), respectively. Depending on the student's interest and background, the four elective courses should be taken with at least one from a different energy subject area listed below (B1 and B2). To qualify for the certificate, a minimum grade average of B- in the six program courses, independent work, and senior thesis is required. In some cases, an elective course that fulfills this certificate program requirement can also meet a regular departmental requirement.

Bicycling: Today you had the overall lead, two other protected riders on GC, and a potential stage winner in Haussler. How do you manage helping four riders out of an eight-rider team?
Jonathan Vaughters: It's tough; it's very tough. We had the same challenge at the
Tour de France
last year where we were balancing multiple objectives in the same race. Heino [
Heinrich Haussler
] had to take a back seat today on what our objectives were. He was fine with that. We helped him for four stages and he knew today he wouldn't be well looked after. But protecting three GC guys is tough, because when you have a break you only have five guys to chase. It limits you.
Look, Sylvain Georges was fantastic today, but because of that math it doesn't surprise me that someone from the break won, and that was fine with us. We weren't going for a stage win today. We were realistically chasing with four riders and the break was just as many. You let them get out to a lead and there's a super-strong guy like Georges with a nine-minute head start and he can climb well and he's going to win.
Bicycling: So what's it like to try to protect that many guys?
JV: We had to compromise some of our domestique efforts by protecting three riders. It's funny, but it's the little things that get hectic. You've got two, three guys on the front chasing and then one of your GC guys gets a flat tire or needs bottles—well, who comes back getting the bottles? So all of a sudden, Heino was our guy waiting for people with flats and helping get bottles. He gave Talansky a wheel today. So that's what we had to compromise today: Heino couldn't go for the stage win.
Bicycling: Did you try to get in the break so you wouldn't have to work?
JV: No, we really didn't. If it had been a larger break, like 10 to 12 guys with some real danger men, we would have started jumping to get into it. But it made more sense with a seven-rider break with no one who was a real threat on GC to use the strength of the guys pulling as opposed to use the energy of our leaders jumping. It's better to stay steady. You chew up domestiques, but you leave your three leaders fresh.
Bicycling: They had to work a little hard in the last bit to bring the gap down.
JV: They did have to go hard the last 20km. That was unnecessary and it was because the riders weren't getting reliable time gaps from the officials.
Bicycling: This race doesn't have race radios. How does that change how you set strategy for the guys since you can't do as much on the fly?
JV: We always go through the guide the night before and the morning of. Our riders are obviously very intelligent guys and figure it all out, but we do it to a very high level of detail—which rider race numbers they need to watch, what kilometers for key points in the race, all that.
That said, you can't do anything about it when the time gaps aren't being conveyed on the board to the riders. I have no idea what was going on; you'd have to ask the officials—not the organizers, the officials. So without radios, you set strategy beforehand and then you have to adjust; one way is when guys come back for bottles you convey a message forward. And that's like a game of telephone because you tell one guy this and he tells the next guy and that guy tells another guy and by the time it gets to the last guy, who knows?
But the worst, which I really, really despise, is having to go up in the car and talk to the guys when they're riding on the front. It's just dangerous. I don't want to be up there, the riders don't want me there. It's really too bad that we have to do that. At the back, giving a guy a bottle and talking, that's fine, but when your team is driving on the front and have to drive up and say something to them that's hard. We did that five or six times today. And think about Europe with even narrower roads than what we were on today. Going without radios like that just lowers the IQ of the race, basically.
Bicycling: Did you think a rider from the break would win today?
JV: No, but chapeau to Georges. He's the next Thomas Voeckler, apparently. I don't know much about him but the other guys in the break came back like a sack of rocks and he steady-Eddied out there all day. It was a Voeckler-esque ride to use the break like that.
Bicycling: Did today go about like you hoped?
JV: Yeah, it did. I would've liked to have maybe put time into some contender today but it didn't happen. Talansky tried for the bonus seconds in the sprint, but it didn't happen. It comes down to tomorrow, which always was clearly the most likely scenario.

I've read that Google might give less trust to a site that has an excessive number of redirects.
That isn't particularly good news for me... I already used 301 redirects to move half the content to a different site.
But whatever you do, it might be best to do it gradually if you can.
thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I don't know if I am going to be able to do that, either. It turns out ALL the long URLs have the same directory (which is currently blocked with robots.txt), so unfortunately it is an all or nothing operation.

Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is back! The target of the European Rosetta Mission was last seen in October but too near the sun to photograph again until Feb. 28 this year. Forget about seeing the comet with your eyeballs through a telescope. It's as far away as Jupiter and an ultra-dim 21st magnitude speck in eastern Sagittarius in the morning sky.
The first sighting this year brings good news. 67P is brighter than expected which suggests that frozen ice is already beginning to vaporize and form a very thin atmosphere. Come May, the Rosetta spacecraft will begin rendezvous maneuvers with the comet and place itself into close orbit about its icy nucleus later this summer. In November, Rosetta will dispatch a small lander named Philae to 67P's icy surface to photograph and study it up close.
67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is approximately 50 percent brighter than in the
last images from October 2013. While the comet has moved another 50 million miles (80 million km) closer to the sun, the increase in brightness can't be explained by the smaller distance alone. The spike in dust and gas production tells us that 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is already rousing from its slumbers with only weak sunlight to "fan the flames".

Primal Strips Overview
Primal Spirit Food's Primal Strips are healthy and delicious vegetarian jerky strips. They are made from a combination of seitan and/or soy and make for great on the go snacks for active athletes and outdoorsy people. Primal Strips are also great snacks for kids & teens and make great additions to sack lunches and nutrition breaks. Best of all, Primal Strips are incredibly affordable! Primal Strips come in four delicious flavors: Mesquite Lime Seitan, Teriyaki Seitan, Texas BBQ Soy and Thai Peanut Seitan.Primal Strips are lightly sweetened with unrefined evaporated cane juice and seasoned with natural smoke flavorings, sea salt, vinegar and natural vegetarian spices. Each Primal Strip is rich in plenty of healthy, undenatured protein. Skeptics beware, once you try Primal Strips, there's no denying how good they taste!
Primal Strips Description from PRIMAL SPIRIT FOOD Voted Best New Vegetarian Snack by VegNews, our Primal Strips are also the favorite of protein hungry bikers, climbers, and outdoors people. Look beyond snacking and try cutting them up in salads, stir frys, and burritos, or even served hot on sandwiches. Kids love them in their lunch boxes and as mid-day snacks.Primal Strips are delicious, healthy, meat alternative snacks providing the positive health benefits of Soy, Seitan and Shiitake Mushrooms, all with full meaty satisfaction.Primal Strips- Best tasting, best textured, meatless jerky at the lowest single-serve price on the market.
Ingredients: Non-GMO vital gluten (wheat protein), water, unrefined evaporated cane juice, naturally brewed soy sauce (water, non-GMO soybeans, wheat, sea salt), expeller pressed canola oil, fresh lime juice, diced dill pickles, citric acid, chili, sea salt, natural vegetarian spices.
If you've had past experiences like I've had with vegan jerky, you probably won't even consider this. Don't be afraid. My daughter suggested I try it and am I glad I did! This is really, really good. It's not spongy or oily tasting as is some other vegetarian/vegan jerky. It doesn't have a tough, dry consistency like "real" jerky, so if that's what you're looking for, this might not be for you. But if you want a tasty, convenient, portable, vegan snack with a decent amount of protein that doesn't require refrigeration, you can't do better than this. I've tried all the varieties and the Teriyaki and Thai Peanut are favs, but all are quite good.

Help formatting ext HD for PS3?
I can't get my ext HD to be recognised on my PS3 Slim.
Ive just bought a WD My Passport 1TB HD that I want to be able to use between my MacBook & PS3 for videos and photos. I understand I need to reformat it to FAT32, so my PS3 can recognise it. In Disc Utility I get the options of reformatting to exFAT or MS-DOS. Ive tried both but I can't get my HD to be recognised on my PS3. Ive tried creating partitions, but it still doesnt work. Any suggestions please?

You have to format the partition itself, not just the whole HD, as I understand from this thread:

Wing walker Jane Wicker and airshow pilot Charlie Schwenker were killed June 22 during their performance at the Vectren Dayton Airshow near Dayton, Ohio. According to media reports, the airshow was canceled for the remainder of the day.
Shortly after the accident, Jane Wicker Airshows updated its Facebook page with the news, adding, "We ask for your prayers for the families and privacy of all involved and allow them time to grieve and work through these events."
Wicker, also an accomplished competition aerobatic pilot, was the owner-operator of Jane Wicker Airshows. She began wing walking in 1990 for the Flying Circus in Virginia but temporarily stopped wing walking after 2002. She re-entered the airshow circuit in 2010. Wicker's love of aviation and wing walking was captured in the November 2011 AOPA Pilot feature, "Walking back on."
According to the Jane Wicker Airshows website, Schwenker started flying gliders in the mid-1970s and began competing in aerobatics in 1990. He performed aerobatics in the Pitts S-1T and Extra 300, according to the website. The Associated Press reported that both Wicker, 44, and Schwenker, 64, had spotless safety records.
Schwenker was at the controls of Wicker's modified Stearman dubbed "Aurora" when the accident occured. Horrified spectators filmed the aircraft as it suddenly plunged to the ground during a low, inverted pass in front of the crowd, with Wicker perched on the bottom of the left wing. The biplane, powered by a 450-horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-985, was fully restored in 2010, with custom features including its distinctive paint scheme.
Wicker was engaged to marry fellow pilot Rock Skowbo, and the two planned a unique wedding in 2014: exchanging vows atop Aurora's wing in flight, according to a website developed by the couple.
Schwenker was to celebrate on June 25 nine years of marriage to Susan Gantz, who told The Associated Press her husband was an exacting pilot who took no unmeasured risks.
"When you see these guys it seems really risky, but they are the most careful, cautious, safety-conscious people you'll ever meet," Gantz told AP. "If the plane didn't sound right, if something was off, he wouldn't fly.

South American Football Wrap up: Coachless In Avellaneda
By Juan Arango
Will start to work on a weekly wrap of South American football and will talk about the high and low lights of the game in this passionate footballing continent.
Here's our maiden voyage into this wonderful football mad continent.
We start this journey in Brazil:
São Paulo's had another youth player that is starting to cause waves as well as long distance explosions. In this case, we are talking about 17-year-old Ewandro Arsenal, Luis Zubeldía was out of a job on Sunday. This came as a mild surprise as he was given a contract extension just two weeks before. Meanwhile, Independiente's situation got much worse after suffering their first-ever relegation. The Red Devils of Avellaneda lost to Atlético Tucumán and that was the end of Miguel Ángel Brindisi's tenure with a club he came to help out. Independiente have not won a match in league play since May 19th. Yeah, you can call their situation dire.
Maybe not as dire but it surely is preoccupying. Both Boca Juniors and River Plate started to show their Jeckyll and Hyde play once more. River faced a team that they had only lost to at El Monumental only once before in Colón. In the end, they would go down yet again 2-1. Rubén Ramírez repeated his feat from 2007 when he scored against River in that other victory. Colón took advantage of several imprecision's in the River attack that left them vulnerable to the counterattack. There was one bit of good news for River fans as their much ballyhooed acquisition, Colombian international Teófilo Gutiérrez scored on his debut but it was too late for the home side to get any points at home. That loss also ended a 41-match unbeaten streak for Ramón Díaz at El Monumental.
Boca didn't have much to gloat about either as their inefficiency as well as lack of poise in crucial moments saw them fall to a surprising Estudiantes side who saw their captain, Juan Sebastián Verón be a last minute scratch due to a stomach ailment. Verón was about to make his debut after announcing his retirement about a year ago and he was not missed. El Pincha took advantage of Boca's mistakes as well as an inspired performance by young goalkeeper Jerónimo Rulli and Guido Carillo to come away with a 2-0 win over the Xeneize.
But the teams that keep surprising are recently promoted Gimnasia La Plata as well as Argentinos Juniors. El Bicho were fighting relegation last tournament and now find themselves atop the table in the top flight. Ricardo Caruso Lombardi's men were able to come away with a 1-0 win to Tigre. Meanwhile Argentina's oldest side look poised for their first-ever title (still early) after they were able to come away with 2-1 win in Córdoba against Belgrano.
Newell's also continue to raise eyebrows as the reigning champs came away with a huge win against Atlético Rafaela on the road. David Trézéguet was a major spark to the team with a sensational goal that led the team to a 2-0 win. Most impressive for Alfredo Berti was that him keeping in place what Gerardo Martino established before heading to Barcelona allowed for there to be stability despite the administrative issues the club is undergoing.
Nacional came away with an important win against lowly Rentistas when left back Juan Manuel Díaz scored in the 95th minute and the Uruguayan powerhouse are currently in the top spot with El Tanque Sisley and recently promoted Sudamerica.
In a rematch of last year's annual final, Peñarol were able to salvage a point in Parque Rodó as a penalty kick in injury time help El Manya come away with a draw. Tony Pacheco's penalty was gaffed terribly by goalkeeper Martín Campaña who had epic performance in the second half until that howler conceded the point for the Violetas.
Junior went top of the table in Colombia after defeating Atlético Huila 2-1 at the Estadio Metropolitano in Barranquilla. Luis Carlos Ruiz came off with a brace and propelled the Sharks to the top of the Torneo Finalización Table. Millonarios are also in the running for the top seed as they came up with a huge 4-0 win over Deportivo Pasto who were coming off a very win against Chilean side Colo Colo in the Copa Sudamericana. The star of the match was former Once Caldas and Xolos man Dayro Moreno whose brace broke the deadlock and Millonarios started to look to get out of their proverbial funk.

War always leaves death, destruction and sorrow in its wake, and the Iraq War piled all of it on Dr. Najeeb Hanoudi. Yet his bond with the Americans he aided remains unbroken.
NPR's Jacki Lyden has followed the story of the Oxford-trained Christian ophthalmologist for years.
It begins in 2003, when Hanoudi first met a band of American soldiers patrolling Mansour, his upscale Baghdad neighborhood.

William Styron was one of the flamboyant literary figures of the 20th Century. He was a Southerner whose novel Lie Down in Darkness received immense acclaim when he was just 26 years old. He would go on to write the Confessions of Nat Turner, for which he received the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1968.
But for the last 27 years of his life, Styron did not write a novel. He battled depression, and wrote a seminal work about it, Darkness Visible, in 1990.

Growing up blond-haired and blue-eyed in Southern California, Joe Mozingo always thought his family name was Italian.
But as an adult, Mozingo became skeptical of that theory when friends and co-workers began to ask him about his unusual-sounding last name.
The journey to discover the truth about the Mozingo name took him from the libraries of Los Angeles to the courthouses and plantations of Virginia and, finally, to Africa.

LYDEN: So Mohammed Morsi was widely praised for his role in negotiating the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas this last week. And now he appears to be playing the same role on the international stage as his predecessor, Hosni Mubarak, and I mean by that, being an autocrat at home while being an international statesman.
The Department of Homeland Security is examining its policy on deadly force along the U.S.-Mexico border. In less than two years, U.S. Border Patrol agents have killed 18 Mexican citizens there — including eight people who were throwing rocks.

While not as momentous as another major event in Jewish history that took place 60 years ago, the premiere of Gentleman's Agreement marked the first time a major motion picture considered anti-Semitism as its main theme.
The movie, based on the novel of the same title by Laura Z. Hobson, featured Gregory Peck as Philip Green — a journalist bent on "blowing the cover" off anti-Semitism by pretending to be Jewish — and costarred Dorothy McGuire, John Garfield (born Jacob Julius Garfinkel), Celeste Holm, and a very young Dean Stockwell. It made its American premiere in New York on Nov. 11, 1947, to qualify for the 1948 Academy Awards.
Although Gentleman's Agreement would prove to be a critical and financial success for 20th Century Fox — it won three Oscars and was nominated for five others — it was initially and vociferously rejected by Jewish studio executives, according to film historian Eric A. Goldman.
"They basically didn't want it made," he told NJ Jewish News in a phone interview. "Everyone knew they were Jewish, but they didn't want that to be too visible. If it was perceived that Hollywood was churning out 'Jewish films,' it made them far more vulnerable, even though they were not the ones doing it.
"If anything, they thought making a film about anti-Semitism would have audiences turning against the Jews, sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy," said Goldman, who holds a PhD in cinema studies from New York University and is founder and president of Ergo Media, a New Jersey-based video publishing and distribution company specializing in Jewish and Israeli films.
How ironic, then, that Gentleman's Agreement was made by Fox, which was considered a "goyishe" studio, and was produced by Darryl F. Zanuck and directed by Elia Kazan, two gentiles who championed the social significance of the project.
Fox took a big chance going through with the project at a time when such liberal themes were viewed with suspicion by anti-communist factions. Years after the film's release, Kazan said, "Gentleman's Agreement was not very daring, but at the time it marked a step. It made a clear commitment about anti-Semitism."
Goldman said the movie could not be made today. "It's clearly dated. Yet it's fascinating that filmmakers still feel a need to make that kind of film," he said, referring to more recent movies like School Ties (1992), about anti-Semitism at an elite prep school in the 1950s, and Focus (2001), based on the 1945 Arthur Miller novel about a case of mistaken Jewish identity in World War II-era Brooklyn. Modern-day studio executives might still use the issue of anti-Semitism, Goldman said, but they decline to contemporize it, setting their stories instead in the 1940s and '50s.
Asked if the Gentleman's Agreement cast members might have given any extra thought to the depictions of their characters, Goldman said, "The romantic in me would like to think that actors have a new understanding about the problems of the people or groups they portray. Is that realistic? Is there anything in the books that address [Peck's] impressions of anti-Semitism or was it just another role? What about any of the other characters? Sam Jaffe [who played a Jewish professor in the film] "was Jewish; I wonder if it had any special meaning for him?"
Dean Stockwell, who played 10-year-old Tommy Green, was already a veteran of the screen; in his film debut three years earlier, he had played Peck's son in The Valley of Decision.
"It wasn't a message with which I could closely identify [at the time] because I wasn't that familiar with the problem," he told NJ Jewish News in a telephone interview from his home near Taos, NM. "But I was aware of the fact that it was a problem or else this movie wouldn't have been made." Now 71, Stockwell looks back and "takes some pride in having been in" Gentleman's Agreement.
Stephen Whitty, film critic for The Star-Ledger, put the movie in American cinematic perspective.
"It was not only one of the first Hollywood films to deal with anti-Semitism, but one of the first…to deal with Jewishness at all," he told NJJN in an e-mail interview. "In the 20 years following The Jazz Singer — which dealt frankly with assimilation — Jewish characters and concerns were hidden or pushed to the margins."
Gentleman's Agreement, however, "brought Jewish characters back to the forefront and dealt with a variety of complicated issues," Whitty said. "Not just the crudest forms of anti-Semitism but the more covert or unconscious kinds, as well as the hidden self-loathing that can encourage the more successful members of a minority group to disparage those who 'haven't made it,' or 'are making it hard for the rest of us.'"
Over the years, some critics have complained about the heavy-handedness of the film's message. "Of course the movie isn't perfect," Whitty said, "and the device used to make the issue palatable to wider audiences — having a gentile as the main character, who 'passes' in order to experience discrimination firsthand — isn't quite as strong as, say, making Garfield's character the hero." Garfield played Green's best friend, Dave Goldberg, a World War II veteran who experiences difficulty finding housing in New York, ostensibly because of his religion. "It's not unlike current films about Africa, in which the story is always told from the point of view of a white eyewitness, rather than a black participant."
Rob Edelman includes Gentleman's Agreement in a course he teaches at the University of Albany. He has particular empathy for the Goldberg character, whom he called "the only Jew in the film not embarrassed by his religion."
"Garfield was a major star then," said Edelman, "but he accepted a supporting role…because of the film's point of view. I love the scene in which [Dave] fights back after being called a 'Yid' while in the company of friends in a restaurant. The fact that Dave does not look the other way and rationalize a non-response is so very important. I also like the scene in which he discusses the manner in which anti-Semitism has impacted on his children and recalls a fellow GI who was subjected to the word 'sheenie' as he lay dying…."
"As far as I am concerned, it is a landmark film," Edelman said. "It deals directly with issues that were extremely relevant in 1947 but had long been pushed under the rug."
'A horrible mistake'
TOM: But, Pop, I...
PHIL: Tom, what is it? What's the matter? Did you have a fight? Argument with one of the guys?
TOM (crying): They called me a dirty Jew...and a stinking kike...and they all ran off.
KATHY: Darling, it's not true! You're no more Jewish than I am. It's just a horrible mistake.
PHIL: Kathy! Come with me, Tom. We'll talk about it in here. Want some water?
TOM: No.
PHIL: Where did it happen? Jimmy in it? Somebody sock somebody?
TOM: No. They just yelled. It was at our corner. One was a kid from school. They were playing hop, and I asked could I play, too. The school one said...no dirty little Jew could play with them. And they all yelled those other things. I started to speak, and they all yelled...my father has a long, curly beard and turned and ran.
Why did they, Pop? Why?
PHIL: Drink some of this. Did you want to say you weren't Jewish?
TOM: No.
PHIL: That's good. There are kids just like you who are Jewish...and if you said it, it'd be admitting there was something bad in being Jewish and something swell in not.
TOM: They wouldn't fight. They just ran.
PHIL: I know. There's a lot of grownups just like that, too, Tom. Only they do it with wisecracks instead of yelling.
The 'major' and the minor
In a scene with Gregory Peck and Dorothy McGuire, John Garfield, right — born Jacob Julius Garfinkel — played Phil Green's best friend, Dave Goldberg, a Jewish war veteran facing difficulties finding housing in New York.
ALTHOUGH GENTLEMAN'S Agreement was considered the first major motion picture to deal with anti-Semitism, Crossfire — a "B" melodrama about an anti-Semitic murder with one-sixth GA's budget — had its American premiere four months earlier.
Both movies were well received by critics and were in competition for the 1948 Academy Award for best picture. "Chances are had Gentleman's Agreement not been made, Crossfire would have won…," said Goldman. Directed by Edward Dmytryk and with Dore Schary as executive producer, Crossfire was nominated for five Oscars — best picture, actor (Robert Ryan), supporting actress (Gloria Grahame), director, and screenplay — and received the grand prize for outstanding"social film" at the Cannes Film Festival. The movie also featured Robert Young and Robert Mitchum in lead roles.
In an e-mail to NJJN, Schary's nephew, Joel Freeman, said Crossfire "opened the door" for Hollywood and American audiences to examine anti-Semitism.
"The courage to do it, led by Dore, inspired Fox to do Gentleman's Agreement and get it out as quickly as possible."
Film Facts
• Gentleman's Agreement mentions three contemporary figures notorious for their racism and anti-Semitism: Mississippi Sen. Theodore Bilbo, who advocated sending all African-Americans back to Africa; Mississippi Rep. John Rankin, who called newspaper columnist Walter Winchell "the little kike" on the floor of the House of Representatives; and Christian Nationalist Crusade leader Gerald L.K. Smith, who instigated court action to prevent 20th Century Fox from showing the movie in Tulsa, Okla.
• Zanuck sought legal advice regarding the naming of the three anti-Semitic political figures. When told there was a small risk of libel, he replied, "Let them sue us. They won't dare, and if they do, nothing would make me more happy than to appear personally as a witness or defendant at the trial." Rankin and Smith filed lawsuits that ultimately failed; Bilbo died before the film's release.
• Hobson wrote Gentleman's Agreement after Rankin's comments were applauded in Congress. The novel was serialized in Cosmopolitan from November 1946 to February 1947. She was the daughter of Michael Zametkin, a writer and editor for the Jewish daily Forward, who described herself as a "Jewish agnostic."
• The film garnered 1948 Oscars for best picture, director, and supporting actress (Holm), and was nominated for best actor (Peck), actress (McGuire), supporting actress (Anne Revere), screenplay, and editing.

21st-century 'Agreement'
Filmmaker Jamie Kastner visits Auschwitz in his documentary Kike Like Me.
SIXTY YEARS have not erased some of the sentiments addressed in Gentleman's Agreement.
Jamie Kastner evidently "looks Jewish," although he is not. Questions posed to him about his religion annoyed him so much that he addressed the topic in his 2007 documentary Kike Like Me.
"I saw theatrical possibility from seeing how Jewish identity plays out in so-called civilized cultures where we've gotten over all 'that,'" Kastner said in an interview.
He underwent a crash course in Judaism for his project, including a shotgun bar mitzva from proselytizing hasidic Jews in Brooklyn asking passersby, "Are you Jewish?" He was kicked out of Pat Buchanan's living room after asking why the TV pundit attacks neocons for being Jewish; debated Israeli-born Gilad Atzmon, a self-described "devoted opponent of Israel and of Zionism"; partied with Amsterdam soccer hooligans proudly calling themselves Joden (Jews); met the "dominatrix" behind Berlin's largest memorial to dead Jews; and ate lunch at the hot dog stand at Auschwitz.
He also caused a near-riot in a Parisian suburb simply by asking what people think about Jews. "I just say, 'I'm here making a film about Jews,' and two seconds later, pow! All the worst stereotypes are flying back and forth...."
"Clearly the title is intentionally provocative," Kastner said. "I've stuck by it for a few reasons. My journey in the film is a reference to the conceit used in Black Like Me" — a 1961 book and 1964 movie in which a white journalist dyes his skin to experience bigotry first-hand — "and its precursor, Gentleman's Agreement...."
Why not just 'Jew' Like Me? Kastner said, "For one thing, it's an ironic wink at some of the more recent attempts by recent pop-Jewish movements to 'rebrand' Jews in the mode of hip-hop culture: Heeb Magazine, Jewcy Couture.... I haven't actually heard of any attempts to reappropriate the word 'kike' per se, but I seriously question whether even, say, 'nigger' has been successfully reclaimed. It may appear harmless enough when young black kids (or their white imitators) bandy it about historically, but I worry about what happens when one day a black kid gets blindsided when he's called 'nigger' by a real redneck — it sure isn't going to feel like a compliment."

As available technology continues to evolve, many large healthcare organizations are looking to Web-based picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) to move images beyond the walls of the radiology department to create "virtual" radiology departments.
In an interview with Applied Radiology, Peter McClennen, national marketing manager for imaging and information networks for FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA, Inc. (Stamford, CT), discussed this trend.
Enterprise-wide PACS systems
"Many of the large integrated delivery networks are now looking at PACS as a way to gain efficiency," McClennen noted. Moving beyond the radiology department, these organizations need to distribute images across a very large enterprise, encompassing a variety of practices and facilities, and covering a wide geographic area.
Two large healthcare organizations have signed agreements for enterprise-wide installations of Fuji's Synapse PACS: Austin Radiological Association (ARA; Austin, TX) and Via Christi Regional Health System Regional Medical Center (Wichita, KS).
ARA is installing the new system in 14 outpatient imaging centers and will provide teleradiology services to 10 local hospitals in the Austin area. "With 60 radiologists and 2500 referring physicians within our 4-county network, we need a powerful system to distribute and view images simultaneously," said Greg Karnaze, MD, president of the ARA group.
The system is expected to handle approximately 300,000 outpatient exams annually. The completely filmless system will operate as a single Web-server data center with all of the facilities and physicians' homes interconnected. All images will be read and distributed on the single system.
For the radiologist, it will mean that all of the imaging information from all of the facilities will be available at any location. "Wherever you are reading, you have access to all the historical images from all the facilities, not just the facility at which you are reading," said McClennen.
In addition to the customizable desktop, each user is given a personal folder within the system that roams with them. "So if you are in the ICU today, you put cases in your own folder and when you are in your office tomorrow and you want to review those cases, they will have traveled with you," explained McClennen.
For patients, there is the benefit of having all of the relevant prior studies available for physicians to review at any time regardless of where the original images were obtained.
Integrated Web technology
According to McClennen, Synapse is currently the only PACS using fully integrated Web technology. Generally, systems that use appended Web technology are designed for in-house radiology use only and employ different systems to distribute images.
By using the integrated Web technology, everything becomes a Web page, noted McClennen. "So, you can easily look at information from one hospital, or click over to information from another hospital, or merge it all together," he said. In addition, the tools available in the radiology department are also available everywhere else within the system. "This creates a more consistent work environment for all the different physicians," said McClennen.
Todd Thomas, director of information technology at ARA noted additional benefits to this type of system. "Both Synapse and our radiology information system use Microsoft Internet Explorer (Redmond, WA) as the user interface. This eliminates a large number of implementation issues," he said. "The familiar user interface also means there is little end-user training required. Since all images are displayed as Web pages, users simply view the images through the browser."
Diana Hilburn, vice president and chief information officer at Via Christi, agreed. "We wanted an open-architecture PACS that could also integrate into our Web portal for physicians," she said, noting that this new system is "synergistic with our hospital's information system strategy of building on primarily Web-integrated solutions."
Virtual radiology
With this type of enterprise-wide PACS, a large healthcare organization can create a "virtual radiology department" with centralized reading and workload sharing. Radiologists will not be limited to reading studies acquired in the same building. With the centralized reading model, images can be matched to the radiologist based on subspecialty rather than geographic location. So, for example, a neurologic radiology subspecialist will be able to read all neurology cases across all the facilities within the organization.
"I think it's really going to break down the barriers," concluded McClennen. "Previously, referring physicians had a difficult time getting information, and when they could get the information via Internet tools, they were very weak tools; tools different from those they used in the radiology department. This system is an enabling technology that allows you to streamline processes."
Synapse was released in 1999, and more than 50 systems have been installed to date.
AHRA to develop administrator certification program
At its 29th annual meeting in Las Vegas, NV this month, the American Healthcare Radiology Administrators (AHRA) Education Foundation announced that they are developing the industry's first certification program for radiology administrators.
Radiologists who wish to participate in this voluntary program will receive study materials and must take a standardized test. Those who pass the test will be awarded a certificate. The certification will be known as CRA, Certified Radiology Administrator, and will meet the standards for credentialing programs set by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies. The first test is scheduled to be administered in conjunction with the 30th annual AHRA meeting next summer in New Orleans, LA.
"The role of radiology administrator has changed rapidly in recent years," noted J.D. Mace, chair of the AHRA Education Foundation. "A credentialing program will identify the current scope of responsibilities and skills that are required for the position, and allow prospective and current radiology administrators to demonstrate their acumen in these areas."
The development of this program was supported through an educational grant from Eastman Kodak Co. (Rochester, NY). "We believe this certification program will help identify outstanding achievements made by individual radiology administrators. It will also showcase the value radiology administrators as a group bring to their healthcare organizations," said Richard F. Cimino, vice president of Eastman Kodak and Americas area business general manager of Kodak's Health Imaging division.
New contrast agent for echocardiography approved
DuPont Pharmaceuticals Company (Wilmington, DE) has received FDA approval to market its new ultrasound contrast agent, Definity (Vial for Perflutren Lipid Microsphere Injectable Suspension). The new agent has been approved for use in patients with suboptimal echocardiograms to opacify the left ventricular chamber and to improve the delineation of the left ventricular endocardial border. It is believed that such improved imaging will allow clinicians to better distinguish between normal and abnormal heart structure and motion.
Phase III clinical trials, involving more than 1,700 patients at more than 20 medical centers, found that echocardiography with Definity produced more detailed images of the heart in difficult-to-image patients versus echocardiography alone. Images obtained with the contrast agent provided a more accurate assessment of segmental wall motion compared with unenhanced images. The study also found that when patients with incomplete images of their heart were re-assessed with contrast, an evaluable echocardiogram was achieved in up to 91% of patients. In addition, the researchers reported that echocardiography with Definity provided statistically significant improvements in endocardial border delineation. The most frequently reported adverse events included headache, back or renal pain, flushing, nausea, chest pain, and dizziness.
"Many cardiologists are challenged by the dilemma that patients who are at the greatest risk of developing heart disease are often the most difficult to diagnose with routine ultrasound," said Martin Goldman, MD, clinical trial investigator and professor of medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. According to research from ARM Inc., of Malvern, PA, up to 20% of echocardiograms performed in the United States without a contrast agent provide insufficient information to make a definitive diagnosis.
Definity, which is the first non-blood-derived ultrasound contrast agent to be approved in the U.S., can be dosed as either a bolus injection or continuous intravenous infusion. It should not be administered to patients with known cardiac shunts, and caution should be exercised in patients with chronic pulmonary vascular disorders and in those who may have cardiac shunts.
DuPont expects Definity to be available in early fall.

Bacteria inhabit enormously diverse niches and have a correspondingly large array of regulatory mechanisms to adapt to often inhospitable and variable environments. The stringent response (SR) allows bacteria to quickly reprogram transcription in response to changes in nutrient availability. Although the proteins controlling this response are conserved in almost all bacterial species, recent work has illuminated considerable diversity in the starvation cues and regulatory mechanisms that activate stringent signaling proteins in bacteria from different environments. In this review, we describe the signals and genetic circuitries that control the stringent signaling systems of a copiotroph, a bacteriovore, an oligotroph, and a mammalian pathogen – Escherichia coli, Myxococcus xanthus, Caulobacter crescentus, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, respectively – and discuss how control of the SR in these species is adapted to their particular lifestyles.
