1 Volume 11 No. 6 UTAH TECHNICAL COLLEGE AT PROVOOREM P. O. Box 1609, Provo, Utah 84603 November 1, 1982 Elections Tomorrow: Students to Vote Tomorrow citizens from across the United States will file to the voting booths to elect new state, regional and local governmental officials. The polls will officially open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Students are allowed to vote if they have already registered in their voting precinct. In Utah there have been some major controversial races. In the United States Senate race incumbent Orrin Hatch squares off against Democrat challenger Ted Wilson. The race has been filled with accusations that Hatch has not and will not represent the state of Utah. The Wilson campaign has been helped by current Senate "big wigs" such as Tip O'Neal, who would like to see Hatch removed from the prestigious and powerful Labor Relations J-Committee.Hatch promises continued work in areas he feels are important to Utahns such as anti-abortion and school prayer. Wilson comes out strongly in favor of getting more jobs for the people of Utah and totally representing their needs. The race closest to the people of Utah County is for the newly established congressional seat. Howard Nielson is the Rebuplican candidate and Hank Huish is the Independent candidate. (He missed the filing date to run as a democrat.) Huish leans strongly on his background as former head of Geneva Steel in Orem. He promises more jobs for the common worker. Nielson brings experience from the Utah State Legislature and promises to work for the interests of Utahns. In other races in the state of Utah, incumbent Jim Hansen will face Democratic challenger Steven Dirks. Francis Farley, a strong Democrat challenger from Salt Lake, will square off against Dan Marriott, the Republican incumbent Their main issues have been regarding equal rights, and abortion legislation. County races have been quite calm with positions on the county commission open. The race for County Attorney has also carried controversy because challenger claims the position should be full time - not part time. The Utahns in this race have spared no expense in making sure their political dreams are realized. President Reagan has visited the state twice. Once for a picnic, and once two days ago for a brief stop to endorse Orrin Hatch. Secretary of Interior James Watt, former Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig, and Treasury Secretary Donald Regan have also been in the state boosting the Republican cause. Robert Redford has been campaigning for candidate Wilson, and U.S. senators have made brief stops in behalf of the Democrat cause. Students ware encouraged to vote in this election. There is still time to study the platforms of the various candidates and get to the polls and vote. A James Watt, and other members from Reagan's cabinet have assisted Orrin Hatch and other GOP hopefuls. 4- .4,,- . fA i li 1 C 1 V 4: j If J j ' if!

A word from I Trulli
Opened in 1994, Nicola Marzovilla's warm and welcoming restaurant has been a favorite for more than 18 years for those in search of hearty, delicious Italian specialties. Its celebrated menu draws on the regional cuisine of the Marzovillas' homeland, Puglia. Nicola's mother, Dora, prepares hand-roll
ed fresh pastas daily. The restaurant is famed for its all-Italian wine list (expertly selected by Marzovilla), and the adjoining Enoteca offers lighter food and by-the-glass choices as well as a nightly happy hour from 3-8pm. I Trulli is a popular destination all-year round: diners can sit by the glow of the main room's rustic fireplace in winter, while in the warmer months are treated to the lush splendor of one of Manhattan's finest outdoor garden spaces.

Came here with a friend the other
day for lunch during Restaurant Week. The food was absolutely delicious and extremely filling. I enjoyed a really smooth glass of Barbera. Great service as well."

Always a good meal and good
service. Don't feel rushed to finish the meal so someone else can take your table; lots of time to enjoy the food and drink and the company at your table."
Dined on 2/28/2014
I've been there with my hubby and
both of us come from Puglia so we can confirm you the food is really tasty and "pugliese"! Enjoy the orecchiette which are handmade!!!"
Dined on 2/28/2014
Restaurant was fine, nice room and
ambiance, but got a bit noisy. Nice staff at front and serving. Food was good, not outstanding or as good as I remembered from previous visits."
Dined on 2/26/2014
We had reserved a table for two
during Restaurant Week. We had for appetizer polpo (octopus) which was very nicely done. For entree we had an exquisite Chatham cod. The wine list is one of the largest I have seen (maybe because the restaurant has an enoteca on the side). It is the size of a 100 pages book. It has great wine selection though a few less than $45/bottle. We chose a red Bacco Primitivo which was good ad reasonably priced. The Torta de Cioccolato dessert was deliziosa. The atmosphere was nice The service was attentive."
Dined on 2/23/2014
Fine dining at it's best. The
service was impeccable. Food excellent. A different presentation of burrata really stood out. The ravioli with pistachio sauce was excellent. Staff was superb!"
Dined on 2/22/2014
I did a four course tasting menu
and everything was really good!! The pastas are delectible, handmade, and truly delicious!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
Not what I expected for dinner.
The food was not as refined as I thought it would be and the ambiance not too great. They sat us in a covered porch so we felt like we were not in the restaurant proper. The inside had a fireplace and walls decorated with wine bottle and pottery that might have made the experience nicer. The food was nothing to write home about, nothing exciting or particularly memorable. Would not go again. The wines were good and the waiter was knowledgeable and made good recommendations."
Dined on 2/21/2014
We had very good service ,
unfortunately thee of the four dishes were bad. Two us us did not eat our dinner, the third ate only some. We can not recommend this dinning establishment."
Dined on 2/21/2014
We've enjoyed I Trulli over the
years for it's authenticity, delicious food and un-hyped atmosphere.. The Restaurant Week menu appeared well planned but in our case was a disappointment. Corners were clearly cut . Our 2 PM reservation may have been the end of lunch for the kitchen and it showed. I thought Restaurant Week was a chance for places to "show their stuff" and attract more future business. Every place is entitled to an "off" day. I just never imagined it from I Trulli."
Dined on 2/19/2014
A NYC friend recommended I Trulli
to me, after I asked for the best place for a great Italian meal in the city. And he was right. I decided to sit at the bar and was welcomed there from the moment I sat down. The bar staff (Ali and Sam) had the best personalities and attitudes that I'm still raving about them to anyone that will listen. And the food. Delish!!!! This is definitely a place to go with a group of people or by yourself (which I was, as I was traveling on business) and soak up the people, atmosphere, wine and food. Hands down one of my favorite and memorable meals in the city."
Dined on 2/12/2014
- Ravioli per Olivia - basically
cheese ravioli with pesto sauce. It was very delicious. 4.5 STARS - Bucatini All'Amatriciana - it was my first time having such thick spaghetti. It was also a bit bouncy/chewy - like it was fresh made. Just a tad bit salty but still very good 4STARS - Moscato d'asti - I can probably drink a whole bottle of this stuff! - Service was prompt and spot on. - Panzeratti Duo are calzones One of them had cheese and tomatoes and the other one had anchovies and olives. I preferred the cheese and tomato. 3.5 STARS - Tiramisu was wonderful however they layered the top with too much cocoa powder. Almost coughed on the powder. 3.5 STARS - The 2 person seats that are beside the walls are a little uncomfortable."
Dined on 2/19/2014
It is great, Italian food. A bit
on the expensive side, two glasses of wine, two entrees and an app will run for around 150. But well worth it."
Dined on 2/16/2014
Itrulli could be one of my 2
favorite italian restaurants i would always say yes to. Food and service were spot on. They have a wide range if wines from very affordable to omg. I look forward to my next time there"
Dined on 2/15/2014
Always marvelous Italian cuisine
from an unusual menu"
Dined on 2/14/2014
I had the unfortunate experience
of going to this restaurant on Valentine's Day. They had a special menu for Valentine's.Day: a four course meal for $78. You could not order the off the menu. For $78 a person I expect enough food so I won't be hungry after the meal. For example, one of my courses was ravioli. My plate had 5 ravioli's. It was a complete waste of money. Maybe if I had gone there on a regular night, I would have had a different experience. I would urge everyone to stay away from this restaurant when they have these special events."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Day or evening I Trulli is a
delightful place for excellent Abruzzi food there is an outstanding wine list a lovely fireplace in wintrer and a charming garden in summer."
Dined on 2/7/2014
Made 12:15 PM reservations for
lunch with a client. We were seated right away at a nice table, by the fireplace. The service was painfully slow. Once we were seated, we weren't even given menus for 15 minutes. The waiters were friendly but we waited a long time between their visits. When the food came, it was just OK."
Dined on 1/29/2014
Classic Italian but with some
intersting twists...very comforting atmosphere....highly recommend"
Dined on 1/25/2014
Relatively calm at 11am (perfect
for a business brunch) but too loud by noon. Food is just fine. Surprisingly well edited wine selections, including dessert wines."

Love this resuraunt. The cuisine
is from my family's region of Italy, Puglia. Great service!!!!!"

One of my favorites in the city.
Food is always good.Great atmosphere. Desserts are amazing."
Dined on 1/2/2014
I Trulli serves terrific pastas,
delicious appetizers, and less special entrees. It also has an extensive selection of well-known and less familiar Italian wines, with first-rate advice about selection from a knowledgeable staff if you need it. If all the food were at the level of I Trulli's glorious pastas, it would rate as one of NYC's best ristorantes. Stick with an appetizer and a pasta -- along with an interesting wine -- and you'll have a splendid meal."
Dined on 12/31/2013
We went on Christmas Eve for their
Feast of the 7 Fishes. Each course was flavorless and almost inedible. Our server didn't understand the menu and barely spoke English. Worst $150 we ever spent! Granted, it was a holiday so their normal staff was probably off that night. But I definitely won't go back again to find out if that's the reason!!"
Dined on 12/24/2013
My wife started dining at itrulli
before we were married and have continued to enjoy itrulli year after year for the past 19 years. The food is consistently very good, and the fire place gives a special feeling to the room. The wine list offers O so many choices."
Dined on 12/28/2013
Every time, noodles down, the
homemade pasta is exquisite. This visit, really enjoyed homemade squid ink pasta with tiny, tender morsels of octopus. I thought it was perfect. Rabbit ragu and Sardinian dumplings are MUST HAVES. Had the monk fish special and it was well prepared - spinach slightly salty for my palate. Try to sit near the fireplace .. inner dining room. Service is always gracious and fine. Great for dining before or after The Jazz Standard (right next door!) - an alternative to chomping on ribs."
Dined on 12/27/2013
This the fifth Christmas evening
meal I have had at I Trulli. This year's was by far the best with the swordfish and the veal chop main courses being absolutely delicious."
Dined on 12/24/2013
Ate here on Christmas Eve where
the pre fixed dinner was wonderful with lots of choices. Service was spotty, perhaps because the restaurant was packed.lots of happy people-doubles like us and entire families-who all seemed to be enjoying themselves."
Dined on 12/24/2013
Our group of seven had the Feast
of the Seven Fishes which was excellent. Our table was very comfortable. The service was excellent. The food was also excellent. Our group chose most of the items. We were all very satisfied. I had the cod (Merluzzo) which was excellent. The description for this course did not mention spinach, which I am allergic to after my stroke, and there was plenty of that which I did not eat."
Dined on 12/20/2013
Service was flawless, food had
unique touches and wine list was extensive. It is not cheap"
Dined on 12/17/2013
If you know and wish for Pugliese
food, this is the place! Great wine list..."
Dined on 12/16/2013
We heard about this restaurant
from the best thing I ever ate and had to try it knowing that we love pasta so much! Popular restaurant with amazing food, we loved the orecchiette. Service, food and experience was outstanding!"
Dined on 12/11/2013
If you love salt and can't get
enough of it, please visit this restaurant. The sauces are very salty. The sald dressing is salty. The sides are loaded with salt. And the entrees have a generous amount of salt."
Dined on 12/10/2013
I've been going to i Trulli for
years and always loved the fresh made pasta and the service. But it's not what it used to be. The menu has ben marginalized, the service has declined ands you just don't feel like this is a special place anymore. I've recommended it for many years and everyone I sent was impressed but the menu has changed, the freshly made pastas seem to have taken a back seat and the waiters seem uninterested and inattentive. I can't recommend it any longer and lets face it Manhattan has no lack of alternatives."
Dined on 12/9/2013
I Trulli is a long time
neighborhood gem but since it's not on an avenue you may not easily notice it. Take the walk on East 27th Street and discover this fine family-owned Italian restaurant. The service from coat check to servers is friendly and personal, and it is clear that fresh ingredients are used and prepared with imagination and care in the kitchen. We'll be returning and you shouldn't miss it."
Dined on 12/9/2013
The restaurant was overall
excellent, but a bit tight and overly busy. The wait are buzzing all, yet our waiter never paid attention to us. The wine list has very few affordable choices."
Dined on 12/7/2013
I Trulli is a lovely quiet
restaurant with delicious food. I had the hand-made orecchetti which was perfect. Admittedly my husband likes my lasagne better than the restaurants but he may just being nice... The whole dining experience was lovely."
Dined on 12/2/2013
As always an enjoyable experience.
Food, service, ambience all make for a wonderful meal."
Dined on 11/29/2013
I Trulli is definitely a
neighborhood gem. There are lots of interesting and delicious starters that can easily be shared-notable among these are the panzoratti and the burrata. The fish entrees that were tried at our table were all wonderful and cooked perfectly. Among the desserts we had the chocolate cake and apple tart--both were excellent and freshly made. Wines were available by the bottle or glass and what we had pleased everyone. The restaurant treated our table to Moscati for dessert being that several of us were celebrating anniversaries. This was a lovely added touch on their part. No one at our table ordered a pasta dish but we are looking forward to trying these next time we go."

Complex organisms require tissue-specific transcriptional programs, yet little is known about how these are established. The transcription factor FoxA1 is thought to contribute to gene regulation through its ability to act as a pioneer factor binding to nucleosomal DNA. Through genome-wide positional analyses, we demonstrate that FoxA1 cell type-specific functions rely primarily on differential recruitment to chromatin predominantly at distant enhancers rather than proximal promoters. This differential recruitment leads to cell type-specific changes in chromatin structure and functional collaboration with lineage-specific transcription factors. Despite the ability of FoxA1 to bind nucleosomes, its differential binding to chromatin sites is dependent on the distribution of histone H3 lysine 4 dimethylation. Together, our results suggest that methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 is part of the epigenetic signature that defines lineage-specific FoxA1 recruitment sites in chromatin. FoxA1 translates this epigenetic signature into changes in chromatin structure thereby establishing lineage-specific transcriptional enhancers and programs.

Rebecca Kihslinger has worked at ELI as a Science and Policy Analyst since 2006. Rebecca's research centers on local, state, and federal wetlands law and policy, with a focus on compensatory mitigation policy. She has worked with local and regional land trust to improve their capacity to take on the long-term stewardship of wetland mitigation sites. She has also written on the administrative and ecological performance of U.S. compensatory mitigation and is currently working with wetland scientists to develop a study design for a national evaluation of the ecological performance of wetland mitigation banks. Rebecca's work also addresses the intersection of conservation science and land use planning. She was the lead editor of ELI's 2007 publication, Lasting Landscapes: Reflections on the Role of Conservation Science in Land Use Planning and was the primary author of Nature-Friendly Land Use Practices at Multiple Scales. She is currently working with planners and conservation biologists throughout the country to help integrate biodiversity protection principles into local planning efforts. Her work also includes a project to identify opportunities for national and state programs and policies that influence the development or protection of natural hazard areas to incorporate wildlife conservation and address the impacts of climate change.

Tokyo 60 to Istanbul 36 in final round.
To think that fun is simple fun, while earnest things are earnest, proves all too plain that neither one thou truthfully discernest.
while I was very disappointed to see Madrid lose out, I am very comfortable and satisfied with Tokyo winning the right to host the games. I had endorsed them for 2016, I have no doubt they will put on a very efficient and well organized Olympic Games. They did well to win and didn't make any major missteps and had a very good technical plan. Congrats!
Ok, 2020 it is for me! I think it will be wonderfully organized and I can spend a week at the games and another week in other parts of Japan. I can't wait!
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
I'm sad for Madrid (and I adore the city and the Spanish), but I'm perfectly fine with Tokyo. It'll be fun for the athletes there, and the Japanese will do a great job. And, speaking from experience, it'll be better for the females in Tokyo than in Istanbul.
This is great news for wrestling. Japan won 6 wrestling medals, including 4 gold, in London. No way will they allow an Olympics in Tokyo without wrestling.
YAY! For Tokyo!!! 2020 Olympics will be here before we know it, and they seem to be ready, with 4.9B already (expected cost: 6 B)
"Everything" is not on a scale the magnitude and influx of people as the Olympics.
To think that fun is simple fun, while earnest things are earnest, proves all too plain that neither one thou truthfully discernest.
Tokyo would probably be safer than any other city in the world, for both men and women. However, Turkey hosts many high-level international sports competitions and receives more than thirty-five million tourists a year (presumably half of whom are "females" as you call them.) Every year the number of tourists increases and more and more international events are being held. So the overall experience must be quite good.
OTOH I am glad that we have escaped the economic burden of the olympics and the disastrous amount of construction it would have inflicted on the already fragile Istanbul. Plus this is not our priority right now.
So, the chance that an Asian locale will host 2022 Games becomes pretty darn slim. Wiki states that Almaty, Kazakhstan is the only city to confirm its intention to bid for the Games. Wiki states that the US is bypassing the bid process. So, a European city getting the Games becomes quite likely. Madrid* or Vienna?
* ETA: Oops, meant Munich.

Didn't Germany come a close second to South Korea for 2018? Maybe they would bid again?

The Cherry red switches provide a fast response, making typing and gaming a more enjoyable experience. Enjoy the precision of multiple simultaneous key presses with N-key rollover function. Thanks to a 50 million clicks life cycle, durable red metal inner chassis and laser printing keycaps, the Rosewill RK-9000RE is a solid, highly durable professional gaming keyboard.
Filter Results |
Cheap.Pros: Mini USB connector is still working.Keyboard does its job and types. Cons: About 3 months into owning this keyboard keys are starting to fail. Shoddy manufacturing they fixed one issue but more are showing up. Other Thoughts: Worked great until the certain keys stopped working months into owning it. I read the reviews on this before I purchased and I'm starting to really regret buying it. It's kinda like buying a Car only to have engine blow up 10k miles down the road. I'm waiting to see what kind of warranty/return policy Rosewill has before I pass any further judgement. If anything I expected the keyboard to work at least a full year before anything would go out on it, but proven wrong. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
good keyboard...doesn't last thoughPros: keyboard worked great... Cons: but in under a year the W key essentially failed. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
cheapPros: Cheap. Bought this with a promo code for a total of $67. Can't beat that price for a mechanical KB with red switches Cons: Cheap. It's a Rosewill. You get what you pay for. The actual electronics are put together very cheaply. Other Thoughts: This is actually my second purchase of this keyboard model (bought another one because I needed one for work and it was on sale). The first time around, the female connector for the mini-USB became loose and no longer registered connection after a couple months of use. The design itself is completely asinine to have it stick out of the back of the keyboard. Actual quality mechanical keyboard manufacturers with detachable USB chords have it at the bottom of the keyboard and have a slit on the back to hold the connection firmly in place. It's a really stupid and useless design decision to have it detachable, yet Rosewill advertises it as a feature. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Disappointing BoardPros: Cheap price - Enjoyed it while it lasted Cons: The soldering and layout of the circuits on this board is abominable. The detachable USB cord means that the port will fail after a few months (or even weeks) of use. After taking apart the board to manually solder the cord on I found how cheaply designed this product really was. Board is now useless due to a USB connector being poorly soldered on and cant be reattached in any reasonable way that wont fail in a number of weeks. Other Thoughts: Wont be buying another Rosewill product due to cheap and lazy design in the manufacturing. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
No issues with the removable USBPros: Reds, the best switch for gaming (in my opinion) Cons: Cables are braided, but they feel stiff Other Thoughts: I bought two of these back when they were on sale for $25 each. My grandpa hasn't had any issues with his, and neither have I. Rosewill has addressed the issue where the micro USB wasn't soldered correctly (or at all, really). I would still be careful with the jack though. Did you find this review helpful? |
Careful with the USB PortPros: Solid keyboard, great deal when on sale. Cherry reds are great for games and typing once you get used to them. Cons: The usb connector on the keyboard got beat up with the normal use of moving the keyboard around. I had to cut open the USB cable and directly solder the wires in the cable to the keyboard to get this to reliably work. Other Thoughts: Really perfect otherwise, especially when these go on sale. Now that I know how to fix the port I'll probably buy another one. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good keyboard, but bad designPros: very good mechanic keyboard, excellent typing feel, good built quality Cons: USB connector design flaw makes this keyboard a total fail. Many people have already complained this, and now the happens to me as well. Other Thoughts: Rosewill should have recall this keyboard if possible. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Good but it doesnt live longPros: Feels excellent Cons: Mine broke in less than 3 months. The port that allows you to choose ps2 or USB connection is the weak point of the keyboard and WILL break. I read the reviews and said "Won't happen to me" but it does. It's just a stupid design choice. You know what you have. Nobody really ever needs that ability to switch. What, are you going to switch over to a PS/2 connection for fun sometimes cause you're bored of USB or something? Just buy one that comes with the connection you want. The slight increase of functionality that comes with ps/2 is not worth having this death sentence of a connection style ever. Other Thoughts: I contacted Rosewill about how this and recieved an extremely unhelpful "Oh check out our wired ones! Thanks for your buisness" which assured me my complaint was not actually read by anyone and guarenteed that I would not ever consider a rosewill product again. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Just awful support / quality.Pros: MX Reds. Great quality. Cheap price. Cons: Cheap for a reason. Weak solder - breaks down easy. Spacebar squeaks. Newegg support won't help me, the Warranty only covers parts...not labor. Other Thoughts: I only gave it 3 stars because while it lasted - it was good. Did you find this review helpful? |
Performs well... for a timePros: Cherry red. Cons: Eleven months of use so far and around the 10th month the issues started to appear. Intermittent USB Connector issues which seize the keyboard until I restart. I have put up with a non-functional numpad which I find very irritating because I do a lot of number input and the Period/Del, 3, 5, 6, 9, *. Other Thoughts: I've had many Rosewill products, this is the first one that has given me a headache. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Screenwriters strike playlist
While some 12,000 TV and film screenwriters go on strike this week, people are filling the void by turning to other forms of media, such as DVDs and the Internet. Ironically, these outlets are exactly what the members of the Writers Guild want more of the profit of (and don't want people to support). They're hoping to come to an agreement soon, although the last walk out like this (in 1988) lasted for five months. Ouch.
We'll miss The Office, Desperate Housewives and Conan O'brien, but it's not the end of the world, right? … Read more

Listen to the new album Superorganism on Rolling Stone.com now here: http://bit.ly/MHBStream
From the cross-cultural to the cosmic, the Mickey Hart Band concert with the African Showboyz was 'out there' in the best of ways.
Getting the opportunity to cover the Mickey Hart Band is certainly something to be thankful for this holiday season. JBO headed up to Napa, narrowly averting sheets of rain from the dark storm clouds, arriving in Napa for one incredible evening of spirit-stirring tribal rhythm.
On a stormy night when it was raining cats, dogs, mice, hedgehogs and all manner of other beasts, the good ol' Fillmore was definitely the most inviting place to be in San Francisco. The occasion was the annual Rex Foundation hometown benefit concert and de facto GD Family gathering, held Dec.
Going into the Mickey Hart Band show at the Stone Pony, I tried not to clutter my brain with possible expectations for the night of music ahead.
Mickey Hart BandThe NationalRichmond, VASeptember 2
Oh boy, that was so much fun! … The Majestic Theatre is such a sweet music venue and, with a capacity of only 600, it offers the opportunity for really great intimate experiences. The Mickey Hart Band's performance there last night was one of those.
Hungry for a road adventure, I split New York and headed west with my accountant; our destination: A Bear's Picnic in Laurelton, Pennsylvania. On the morning of Saturday. August 18, 2012, we roared down 80 West with live Dead cranking. Flashbacks of past journeys danced in my mind.
This is one of the most innovative and interesting albums I have heard in a long time. Mickey and his awesome band break new musical ground and show us the future of music. This album combines a variety of sounds, rhythms, and styles in a way that takes the listener on a journey to the beginnin
Clearly, Mickey Hart is taking music making in cosmic directions.
It's another perfect segue for the legendary drummer of the Grateful Dead.

The National Resource Center for Family Centered Practice has had a home at The University of Iowa for more than thirty years. Beginning as a small training project funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Center was one of the first organizations in the country to promote home-based, family centered services, later known as "family preservation." Over the years we have expanded in scope to work in many different service systems and to provide a range of services including training and technical assistance, research and evaluation, and information dissemination. We have worked in all fifty states, several U.S. Protectorates, and through collaborations in Europe, Asia, North, Central and South America, and Australia. In April 2008 the NRC celebrated its 30th Anniversary by holding a conference at The University of Iowa. We work with federal, state, and local government, private nonprofit and for-profit organizations in these program areas:

Iouri Podladtchikov Qualifies First In X Games Superpipe
Posted Jan. 25, 2013
ASPEN, Colo. -- If Shaun White is to win his sixth straight Snowboard SuperPipe gold medal Sundaynight at X Games Aspen, he'll have to do it from an unfamiliar position. White qualified second Thursday night, one-third of a point behind Swiss rider Iouri Podladtchikov, whose second-run 87.33 trumped White's conservative first run down the Buttermilk pipe. That means Podladtchikov will drop in to the SuperPipe last in the final, a coveted position almost exclusively occupied by White in ...

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Notes of a Native Son is a collection of essays published previously in various periodicals. Though not originally written to be published together, they share Baldwin's concerns over the resolution of the United States' racial dilemma and the question of American identity.
The first group of essays focuses on the black person as artist and on his or her image within the cultural canon. In "Everybody's Protest Novel," Baldwin, once an enthusiastic fan of Harriet Beecher Stowe, labels her an "impassioned pamphleteer" and criticizes Uncle Tom's Cabin and other "protest novels," including Richard Wright's Native Son, for falling short of their lofty aims, abusing language, and overtaxing credibility. Baldwin goes on in the second essay, "Many Thousands Gone," to recognize Native Son as a literary landmark but questions its actual power, given the depersonalization and mythification of blacks as Uncle Tom and Aunt Jemima. In essence, the "native son" is a monster created by American history, and it is American history that must confront and re-create him. The third essay in the group, "Carmen Jones: The Dark Is Light Enough," criticizes an all-black production of a theatrical standard for perpetuating racial stereotypes.
The second group focuses on the sociopolitical scene. "The Harlem Ghetto," the earliest of the essays, documents the congestion and claustrophobia of 1948 Harlem. Baldwin considers token civic improvements—playgrounds and housing projects—to be at best superficial and at worst injurious. The position of black leaders is impossible, the black press merely models itself on downtown counterparts, and the popularity of churches only reflects the pervasive hopelessness.
This hopelessness is evidenced in "Journey to Atlanta," which recounts the experiences of a group of black singers, including Baldwin's brother David, as guests of the Progressive Party in Atlanta. The Melodeers, anticipating a week of open...

Summary (Identities & Issues in Literature)
James Baldwin is a fine novelist, as such works as Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953) and Giovanni's Room (1956) prove. Many readers consider his nonfiction to be even finer than his fiction. His essays, which may be found in collections such as Notes of a Native Son (1955) and Nobody Knows My Name: More Notes of a Native Son (1852), which Baldwin considers self-righteous and so sentimental as to be dishonest. "Many Thousands Gone" examines Richard Wright's Native Son (1940), which Baldwin describes as badly flawed. "Carmen Jones: The Dark Is Light Enough" is another biting review, of the Hollywood motion picture musical Carmen Jones (1955). Baldwin says that the film lacks imagination and is condescending to blacks. Part 2 contains three essays. "The Harlem Ghetto" is one of the most powerful, digging into the physical and emotional turmoil of Harlem, including problems between blacks and Jews. "Journey to Atlanta" looks at an African American singing group's first trip to the South. It is a humorous, cynical, look at the treatment that the group, which included two of Baldwin's brothers, received. "Notes of a Native Son" examines Baldwin's anger and despair after his father's death.
Part 3 contains four essays. "Encounter on the Seine: Black Meets Brown" and "A Question of Identity" are about the feelings and attitudes of Americans in Paris in the 1940's and 1950's. "Equal in Paris" is Baldwin's account of being arrested and jailed, temporarily, in a case involving some stolen sheets that he did not steal. Baldwin describes the insight he had while in the hands of the French police: that they, in dealing with him, were not engaging in the racist cat-and-mouse game used by police in the United States. Finally, "Stranger in the Village" discusses Baldwin's time in a Swiss village and the astonished curiosity of people who had never seen a black person before. In all these essays, Baldwin explores his world and himself.
Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
James Baldwin's Notes of a Native Son is his first collection of essays. Baldwin, generally acclaimed as twentieth century America's greatest essayist, helped cement this reputation with this collection. The book discusses many of the central occupations of Baldwin's career: the search for identity, how African Americans respond to racism, and racism in general. The book is an essential landmark in the thought of James Baldwin.
In examining Notes of a Native Son, the reader first should note the structure of the collection, because the essays are organized thematically. Part 1 deals primarily with Baldwin's commentaries on literature, with one essay additionally critiquing the film Carmen Jones (1954). Part 2 deals mainly with racial problems in the United States. In part 3, Baldwin examines questions of identity, specifically African Americans' perceptions of themselves and how they are perceived by others. Baldwin pondered these themes while he traveled in France and Switzerland.
Two of Baldwin's classic essays are contained in part 1: "Everybody's Protest Novel" and "Many Thousands Gone." "Everybody's Protest Novel" has become famous for Baldwin's criticisms of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) and Richard Wright's Native Son (1940). Baldwin finds Stowe's novel to be ruined by sentimentality, which he feels is a mask for the author's fear of African Americans, especially assertive African Americans. Baldwin questions whether this novel should be thought to champion African Americans' freedom. Furthermore, Baldwin questions the validity of the praise of Wright's Native Son as promoting the African American cause. Baldwin believes that Wright's novel hinges on the acceptance by the main character, Bigger Thomas, of racists' view of him as subhuman. Baldwin expresses his concern that this ideology itself is, perhaps, Bigger's worst enemy, thus undermining the novel's focus on white racism. Consequently, Baldwin finds fault with two of the novels that had been made into such literary icons that they could have been deemed everybody's protest novels.
Baldwin's critique of the character of Bigger continues in "Many Thousands Gone," with Baldwin again noting Wright's emphasis on Bigger's self-hatred. However, in this essay, it is important to note that Baldwin recognizes the sociological significance of Bigger. Baldwin, for instance, claims that most blacks have an anger inside them against racism that is equivalent to Bigger's rage. Moreover, Baldwin indicts racism for producing black people such as Bigger, whose acquiescence to racism entails their own psychological and physical self-annihilation. This essay, therefore, is important in Baldwin's analysis of how racism, in its narcissistic arrogance, demands that African Americans submit their very identity and obey the demands of the dominant society.
Another intriguing aspect of part 1 of Notes of a Native Son is that, on the whole, it is a critique of American cultural productions that focus on representations of African Americans. In "Carmen Jones: The Dark is Light Enough," for example, Baldwin finds great faults in Otto Preminger's successful film. The film is an all-black production of the 1943 Broadway musical of the same name, and stars Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte. Baldwin is concerned that the film avoids anything that would convey reality in its presentation of life among African Americans, relying instead on such things as songs reworked to fit whites' ideas of black speech and presenting a hero and heroine devoid of real sensuality but who have a dull facade of sanitized sexiness more appropriate to dolls than to people. Baldwin sensed that Hollywood was afraid of presenting African Americans' sensuality because it is so often a subject of racist mythology. Hence, he argues that by divesting the storyline of Carmen of sensuality, the film reduces the characters to mere hollow shells. Consequently, as in the two previous essays, Baldwin finds that American cultural productions with African Americans as their subject are not only problematic but also indicative of societal problems in the presentation and treatment of blacks.
In part 2, two essays in particular stand out as major essays in Baldwin's career. "The Harlem Ghetto" and "Notes of a Native Son" examine various aspects of racism and race relations. In "The Harlem Ghetto," Baldwin analyzes a social problem that remains relevant: tensions between African Americans and Jews. He examines the economic factors at the heart of the maintenance of a racially divided society, and how these economic factors affect relations between the races. The black-Jewish rift, Baldwin feels, has its roots, in part, with the Jewish presence in Harlem as store owners, a position perceived by many blacks as exploitative. Baldwin points out that the hostility some blacks may feel toward Jews is not because Jews are Jewish but because Jews represent, for many blacks in ghettoes, a first contact with white Americans. Jews came to symbolize—rightly or wrongly—the racism of white society. Hence, Baldwin makes a perceptive point: Jews are caught in the American racial crossfire.
Baldwin's essay, "Notes of a Native Son," continues the analysis of race relations. The essay is central in showing Baldwin's own reactions to racism and his ideas on how African Americans should not react to racism. In the essay, Baldwin reminisces about his father, who hated whites and died an embittered man. Baldwin also recounts the racism he faced while working as a young man in New Jersey and how rude treatment, in particular at a racist restaurant,...

Opensource.com Celebrates One-Year Anniversary
Today marks the one-year anniversary of opensource.com, a Red Hat community service that examines how open source principles can and are being applied outside of software development.
"The site was created to engage communities in conversation to learn and explore how the lessons of participation and open source are applied throughout five channels: business, education, law, government and life," says Red Hat in the press release earlier today. According to a post by Jim Whitehurst, Red Hat's president and chief executive officer, in this first year, opensource.com has enjoyed contributions from more than 50 different authors, who wrote over 500 stories that were read 1.3 million times by over 500,000 different people.
"This community has helped plant the seeds, yet there is much left to do. The door is open for the open source way to bring success to non-technology companies, as well as to schools, universities, governments—to the world. I eagerly await the day the open source way becomes the rule rather than the exception. Our hope will be to provide a place where we can shine a light on the progress along the way," continued Whitehurst, in post "Reflections on 1-year of opensource.com".
More information on opensource.com's first year can be found on its website.

Two annual meetings in the publishing industry have been canceled for 2009, both casualties of the economic recession.
The American Society of Newspaper Editors announced that it is canceling its 2009 annual meeting just two months before the convention was to take place, April 26-29 in Chicago. Plans were well under way, but officials decided to cancel it because of low attendance projections and the stress of the economy on members. With the newspaper industry struggling, ASNE leaders concluded that the challenges editors face at their newspapers demand their full attention, said Charlotte Hall, president at ASNE, in a press release. Also, said Hall, attendance would have been significantly lower than normal. The convention typically attracts between 400 and 500 attendees.
This is the first time since 1945 that ASNE has cancelled its annual convention. "This is a uniquely stressful period in our business as we face both structural change and deep recession," stated Hall. Even though the learning opportunities at the convention would have been valuable, the greatest priority is leading our own newsrooms as we shape the future of the business," Hall stated.
The board of directors will meet electronically to handle association business that would have otherwise occurred at the meeting. One piece of business is a vote to change the bylaws and drop "paper" from its name to expand its membership to include editors of online-only news Web sites. "We intend to press on with our transformation of ASNE to ensure its relevance in the digital age," Hall said. ASNE plans to meet as scheduled in Washington, D.C., on April 11-14, 2010.
For many of the same reasons, the Magazine Publishers of America canceled its annual convention, the American Magazine Conference. The conference was scheduled for October 18-20 in Boca Raton, Fla. "The cancellation of this year's AMC is in response to the difficult economic climate facing all businesses, including the magazine industry," said Nina Link, president and CEO at MPA in a press release. "We recognize that this year our members are looking at a variety of ways to achieve savings, which would include curtailing certain discretionary travel and hotel expenses." They hope to resume the AMC next year in Chicago.
However, MPA is looking to create a new conference focused on innovation in the consumer magazine industry. "More than ever, our members need to convene to share insights and tactics to help the industry work together more effectively and strategically. We're focusing on innovation because new technologies also offer enormous opportunities for smart publishers to innovate and connect with their audience and advertisers in new and powerful ways," stated Link.
The new meeting will take place in New York, but further details have not been finalized.

Video: Japanese Researchers Build an EV Engine That Contains No Rare Earths
With the Chinese firmly in charge of the world's supply of rare earth metals, the Japanese have been hard at work trying to devise means to reduce their reliance on rare earths in the manufacture of things like electric car motors. Now, researchers at Tokyo University of Science say they have done it. Their "switched reluctance motor" requires no rare earths, which could circumvent a major supply chain issue while driving down the cost of EVs.
Theirs is the first so-called switched reluctance motor with this kind of torque density, they say, though the researchers admit that it's still not equivalent to the torque and efficiency produced by motors with permanent magnets. Simply, switched reluctance motors tap magnetic reluctance--it's like electrical resistance, but for magnetism--in an electromagnetic coil. By turning the electricity on and off within the coil, a rotor inside is induced to spin, creating rotary motion/force (this is explained visually in the video below).
Switched reluctance motors have their drawbacks, particularly because they can be difficult to control. But better onboard, real-time computing is making them more reliable and less prone to vibration and noise. Moreover, the Tokyo team's motor is about the size of the engine that goes in a Prius, meaning that it's been scaled to a form that will fit in a standard small-sized production car.
But most importantly, it means Japan may be a few design tweaks away from having an electric engine that doesn't hinge on trade relations with the Chinese, who have been accused (not least by the Japanese) of bogarting their supply of rare earths (China controls 95-97 percent of global supply, depending on who you ask). And as far as what it means to you, the development of a dependable switched rotor engine with decent power and torque could lower the cost of EVs.

Other Countries are doing amazing things. USA is falling behind in practically every category. But hey, we do excel at killing people and putting the most people in prison then any other country. So I guess we got that going for us.
Didn't Japan just find those billions of tons of rare earth metals in the mud on the ocean floor that they said they can suck up with a straw and use acid to separate the rare earth from the mud? Whither they did or not, keep up the good work Japan...the U.S. is depending on you.
P.S. Nissan has the best electric car in the world - the Leaf, so keep improving of those electric engines and batteries.
@boka We fall behind when we don't have a Government that supports innovation and cuts spending to groups like NASA. This country was a powerhouse due to the industrial age, and people were hungry for innovation. Now all we have is more and more control being shoved down our throats, which if we don't stand up as a people and change that. We are going be debt-shackled to other countries and we will be the cheap labor the world outsources to... We need innovation. We need to have no limits to our successes. We need people to get in the race with these other countries, so the world will look to us for technology once more.
@ActionSeth - If I recall, funding for NASA has actually INcreased in the past few years. Just because the shuttle program was discontinued doesn't mean the money was revoked - they just put it into NEW technology and innovation rather than simply gliding on past accomplishments. Private industry is perfectly capable of picking up the ball where the shuttle left off.
I guess what I don't understand is how this COULD even come close to the torque required for a vehicle motor. Also, does a motor like this generate electricity to recharge the battery when coasting like traditional EV motors? Doesn't seem like it could - so there must be an awful lot of inefficiency to overcome. (Maybe I'm just missing information.)
Anyway, any technology that helps us to bypass the rare earth monopoly sounds like good news to me.
Tesla's Roadster motor is about the size of a watermelon, weighs 70 lbs and puts out about 200 hp. Smaller, lighter, more powerful, and NO magnets. Its called an AC induction motor, invented by Nickolas Tesla of course almost 100 years ago.
GM designed high power magnets about 30 years ago made from sintered iron under the brand name of Magna-Quench and then sold the patent rights to a Chinese company.
Rare earths are not rare. It is just that the Chinese under priced everyone else and took over the market.
It's not the price, but the conditions of production that gives China the edge. Rare Earth metals have a large number of radioactive inclusions, primarily thorium, that have very low market value, and must be dealt with. China has such abysmal environmental and labour standards that allow them to operate at greatly reduced costs (read: they could care less if they contaminate the countryside or if workers die, just as long as they are making the sweet coin).
This motor is an excellent example of engineers overcoming a material problem, in a greatly reduced time frame than trying to develop a new material to overcome a material problem.
I believe the leadership of our auto dealership is the problem. I believe our auto engineers are excellent. But it is such an ingrain genetic planned obsolescence auto industry. If they had the single purpose of making the best car possible, I do believe our USA auto companies would excel at this. And it would also require a better supportive work force in the manufacturing without it being dominated by union benefits... As they create hybrid cars now the price is extreme and still does not justify the saving in fuel\energy. These expensive hybrids naturally come with higher automotive insurance, because of their cost too. So where is the savings?

@ BubbaGump: yes, there have been air motors around for decades-- that's how many shop tools operate, such as impact wrenches, sanders and chisels. The up-side is that they're inexpensive, small, simple, rugged, and powerful for their size. The downside is that they are not appropriate for use in cars for several reasons.
The energy density of an air motor is low because, unlike an auto shop where you can have a huge compressor running all the time supplying compressed air supplied by efficient electric motors, an air-powered car must store its air supply onboard, and the higher you want to compress the air, the more robust and heavier your air tank becomes. You don't want an airtank with thousands of pounds of pressure exploding anywhwere close to you.
When you compress air (or any gas), it becomes hotter; when you allow it to decompress, it becomes colder. This is how a diesel engine ignites its fuel/air mixture.
When you try to compress air for use in a vehicle, the process is quite inefficient because you have to cool it off because the hotter it is, the more it resists further compression. Trying to pump air into an air car is similar to recharging a battery in an EV-- the closer it is to full, the more time it takes to top it off. The first few pounds are pumped in quickly-- the last few pounds are quite slow and energy-intensive. Recharging an EV to 100% can be done fairly quickly with state-of-the-art batteries and sophisticated electronics, but trying to top off an air car tank can be much trickier. The only way around it is to fill it slowly, and swap tanks out similar to how A Better Place replaces spent battery packs in EVs. It could work, but would be cumbersome. An EV, to me, would be preferable.
One of the curious aspects to air cars is that, despite short range between refills, they have the side benefit of free air conditioning-- the exhausted air from the motor is pollutiom-free and frigid due to the reduced pressure.
Bill Dale
@ Clay Dillow--
Please do not use the words "ENGINE" and "MOTOR" interchangeably-- it's bad enough that the word "motor" is often used to describe anything running on fuel. But when you say that "The Tokyo team's motor is about the size of the engine in a Prius", you confuse everyone-- the Prius has both a gasoline engine and an electric traction motor, and the Prius engine is much bigger and heavier than its electric motor. It would clarify things enormousy if everyone always used "engine" to describe fueled power soirces, and "motor" to describe electric powerplants, especially as used in your article.
The Chinese don't control the world's rare earths. Rare earths are found in many places, including the world's ex-largest mine in California.
AMERICA gave up its supplies and stopped mining, it was the "green" thing to do.
All it takes is the WILL to go against the green religion and restart mining to take the Chinese monopoly off the table.
However, lowest cost, high energy magnets are always a good idea, but this overblown stepper motor isn't that.
Wow!! They built an EV motor that doesn't use rare earths!!
This would be interesting if we hadn't been doing just that for 140yrs!!!!
Using rare earths is in fact rare as few e motors use them going for cheaper PM's or better, variable field units giving far better control, 3x's the starting torque, lighter, more power/lb too.
I've been driving EV's every day for 15 yrs and the Only REE motor, 9hp I used burned up and replaced it with a 3.5hp series motor that was faster and could start up a hill, something the PM motor couldn't do.
