The Future of Manufacturing Project |
Over the past several decades, globalization in the global manufacturing ecosystem has driven more change and impacted the prosperity of more companies, nations and people than at any time since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.
Nations around the world have taken part in and benefited from the rapid globalization of industry and expansion of manufacturing. Globalization of manufacturing has also been a key driver of higher-value job creation and a rising standard of living for the growing middle class in emerging nation economies. This has dramatically changed the nature of competition between emerging and developed nations as well as between companies.
Video posted with permission from the World Economic Forum.
To investigate how globalization will continue to shape manufacturing, the World Economic Forum's Mobility Industries team in January 2011 initiated the "Future of Manufacturing" project to address how the global manufacturing ecosystem is evolving. The project explored the pivotal drivers of change, today and in the future, in order to generate insights and a platform for informed dialogue between senior business leaders and policymakers.
The project team, made up of manufacturing industry experts from the World Economic Forum and Deloitte LLP utilized a combination of primary and secondary research including an extensive review of key academic and industry literature, interviews with more than 30 manufacturing business, academia, and policy leaders, and numerous Task Force conference calls. In addition, industry, policy, and academic stakeholders provided valuable input to the report during seven face-to-face global workshops.
Read the report
The final report, The future of manufacturing: Opportunities to drive economic growth, explains that challenges in talent, innovation, infrastructure, and energy consumption are what countries and companies in the manufacturing industry must prepare to face in the coming years.
Which companies and countries will come out on top? Those that can attract, develop and retain the highest skilled talent, those that innovate to stay ahead of competition, and those that can find clean energy strategies and effective energy policies.
The key to success in these areas will be collaboration between governments and private sectors. With competition increasing for so many resources and capabilities—and with the prosperity of nations hanging in the balance—policymakers will be actively looking for the right combination of trade, tax, labor, energy, education, science, technology, and industrial policy levers to generate the best possible future for their citizens.
About Deloitte's Global Manufacturing Competitiveness initiative
Over the last several years, Deloitte has collaborated with a number of organizations committed to manufacturing competitiveness on both a country and international level.
Through these collaborations and through additional primary and secondary research conducted by Deloitte, we have been able to develop a deep level of insight on this critical topic and what manufacturing organizations are doing to tackle this complex issue. Through our regular surveys and our ongoing discussions with senior business, academic and policy leaders, Deloitte is at the forefront of helping the stakeholders in the manufacturing ecosystem think through tough business challenges and how to work together in improving manufacturing competitiveness.

The Norman Transcript
AUSTIN, Texas — Through two games with Texas, its come down to two hits. The Sooners got it in Friday's series opener. Saturday, the hit belonged to Texas.
Ben Johnson slapped an RBI single to score Matt Gottsacker in the bottom of the fifth inning. That was it in terms of offense Saturday afternoon at Disch-Falk Field as Texas held on for the 1-0 win.
"It was a great game to watch. We just didn't get that run across," OU second baseman Jack Mayfield said.
It was a classic pitchers' duel once again. Dillon Overton held the Longhorns to one run on five hits with six strikeouts. The performance lowered his ERA from 2.68 to 2.35, but his record sank to 6-2.
The left-hander battled a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand in his previous three starts. The wound was finally healed for Saturday's game.
"Yeah, to me that was one of the best outings I've had all season. The blister is finally gone of my finger and it was warm weather; I felt good," Overton said. "Baseball is a tough sport and sometimes that happens."
But he was outdueled by Texas' Dillon Peters (2-2). The Longhorns' left-hander took a no-hitter into the eighth inning and held the Sooners to two hits over 7 2-3 innings.
Peters struck out five and didn't issue a walk. The only batter to reach in the first seven innings was Craig Aikin, who was hit by a pitch to lead off the fourth inning.
OU (26-6, 6-2 Big 12) only put three runners in scoring position all day. The last two came in the eighth inning.
The Sooners finally made an adjustment to Peters heading into the inning. He'd been living on the outside corner throughout the game. Starting with Kolbey Carpeter's leadoff at-bat, OU started crowding the plate.
Carpenter laced the first pitch off the wall in left field. He didn't advance any further. Hector Lorenzana grounded back to the Peters and the Longhorns erased Carpenter in a rundown. Hunter Haley tried to move Lorenzana into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt, but he popped out to Peters.
Garrett Carey finally got him to scoring position with a two-out single, Texas (17-12, 3-5) turned to closer Corey Knebel, who struck out Anthony Hermelyn, who delivered in the game-winning RBI in the series opener to end the threat.
"After the double, we elected to hit behind the runner and we almost executed it. The pitcher snagged and we got caught in the rundown and that hurt us. We had to get to second on the rundown," OU coach Sunny Golloway said. "If we do, we score on the flare or if we get the bunt down with Haley, we score on the flare, so there were two things that hurt us."
Knebel sat the Sooners down in order in the ninth to get his seventh save.
The teams return to Disch-Falk Field at 2 p.m. today for the series finale. The Sooners need a victory to get their first series victory against the Longhorns since 1998. Texas needs the win claim its 15th straight series against OU.
OU had the pitching and defense it needed to lock it up Saturday. It just made the adjustment against Peters too late.
"We found it late on that guy. Tip my cap to him because he threw a heckuva game. So did we, but we should have made the adjustment earlier," rightfielder Max White said.

Image fusion is here. Practical, not terribly expensive, and rapidly disseminating in the imaging community are ways to volume register available DICOM-III standard images. Data from computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single-photon computed tomography (SPECT), and positron-emission tomography (PET) can be overlaid voxel by voxel with commercially available software programs on displays that allow the imaging physician to take advantage of the unique strengths of two entirely different modalities. Most fusion images now come from SPECT or PET superimposed on CT or MRI scans. This strategy combines tissue characterization or physiologic measurement from nuclear medicine with anatomic data from radiology. The radiopharmaceutical becomes the ultimate contrast agent. Fusion scans can also be easily formed from two nuclear medicine scans or from a CT and MRI scan, etc.
The fusion software typically calls for two sets of data from the same patient selected for fusion. One is selected as the "primary" set to which the other will be registered. It is best to keep the original image resolution of each image set and retain its quantitative information. The two blocks of data used do not start as registered images. The patient is scanned at different times, in different machines, and in different positions. Different size acquisitions with different slice thickness and pixel sizes with different central points are the norm. Voxel dimensions can be adjusted from measurements provided by calibration and quality control images. Adjustments required for registration take into account the X, Y, and Z coordinate offsets between the data blocks. The real trigonometry delight is correction of angular offsets between the two blocks of data. This kind of program is not a trivial software project (figure 1).
Not surprisingly, the alignment steps leading to coregistration can be guided effectively by the trained eye using interactive software. Some argue for the increased objectivity offered with a little forethought and the use of feducial markers detected by both modalities. A small point source of radioisotope mixed with Vitamin E works for SPECT/MR fusion scans. A point source of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in a radiographically opaque cup works for PET/CT fusion. These feducial points placed on the surface of the patient are steered together with software that superimposes them to achieve accurate coregistration. Theoretically, only three feducials are needed to coregister two volumes of data. Many fusion imagers use a minimum of six. In reality, these surface feducials are a simple case of anatomic structures within the patient that are visible to each separate modality. For example, a pair of kidneys seen on an In-111 octreotide scan can be registered quickly by operator guidance with a CT or MRI scan that shows the kidneys as well. Matching a chest CT to a Tc-99m MAA perfusion SPECT is easy. Many scans have plenty of common structures, but there is a question of the operator's subjective interference with the process. He or she may want to "slide" an abnormality from a SPECT or PET scan on top of a particular anatomic finding on a MR or CT scan.
Automated software programs are in development that use information common to both scans. Mutual information algorithms have been developed that seek the minimum differences or maximum similarities between two cubic data sets from different modalities. Through an iterative process, these programs can bring data sets objectively into registration. The development of the transmission scan came from the need to measure attenuation in SPECT and PET scans. The transmission scan is coregistered with the emission scan automatically and is actually a low-resolution version of a CT scan. It has a lot of information in common with a CT scan. If a CT scan and transmission scan are fed to the right algorithm, they can be coregistered precisely without the operator's subjective opinion. The registration parameters derived for the transmission scan are applied to the emission scan to produce a fusion of the images (figure 2).
Display of fused images usually requires an overlay of a gray-scale image for the anatomic image (CT or MR) and a color scale for the nuclear medicine image (SPECT or PET). Dithering the two images so that every other pixel is displayed from each coregistered study on a 50-50 basis is the solution favored by the authors. Side-by-side comparison with interrogation of both coregistered images by regions of interest (ROIs) drawn on one or the other is helpful in some cases.
Nuclear medicine SPECT scans done with Ga-67, In-111 octreotide, I-131 and I-123, and Tc-99m agents (among others) are remarkably improved with the extra effort to perform fusion images (figures 3 through 7).
Almost every imaging modality has been used to evaluate pulmonary emboli. Fusion imaging may help address the problem of the "intermediate probability" Tc-99m MAA perfusion lung scan. CT of the chest can display the lung parenchyma to show areas of infiltrate, blebs, bullae, and tumors that cause defects on MAA scans that are not embolic.
Perfusion defects on the coregistered MAA SPECT scan that are explained by the CT/MAA fusion scan can logically be excused from the analysis of emboli. A prospective trial is needed to see how accurate this assumption is (figure 8).
Like their SPECT counterparts, PET scans are anatomy sparse images that can profit greatly from fusion imaging (figures 9 and 10). In the case of targeting for purposes of radiotherapy, new developments allow PET/FDG images to be fused with CT radiotherapy simulations for planning treatment. This means that post-obstructive atelectasis behind a metabolically active (FDG-positive) tumor in the lung can be logically excluded from treatment. Radiation doses to the tumor can be increased, while doses to benign tissue can be decreased.
Using postacquisition volume registration software, Test/Retest paradigms from SPECT or PET studies may be done on different days and still compared voxel by voxel. Pre- and post-Acetazolamide (Bedford Laboratories, Bedford, OH) images from Tc-99m brain perfusion SPECT can be done in a semi-quantitative manner. The vasodilated Diamox SPECT is coregistered with the baseline study. The arithmetically different images are multiplied by 100, divided by the baseline images, and displayed as a percent perfusion reserve image. This image, in turn, can be displayed as an overlay on coregistered MR images.
MR images of primary bone tumors show exquisite detail of the soft tissue components of the tumor. CT images of the same bone tumors are much better at displaying the calcified cortical, trabecular, and tumor matrix details. A fusion of the CT bone windows with an MR provides optimum depiction of the principle elements of the tumor. This technique needs to be explored in depth.
Hybrid machines that acquire a PET and a CT scan, or a SPECT and a CT scan, are coming to market. These sequentially scan with two different modalities in the same gantry. One manu-
facturer uses a helical CT in the same gantry with a ring PET detector. Another uses a low output X-ray tube scanning in a circular track next to a pair of opposed nuclear medicine detectors for SPECT or coincidence detection. In each case, the patient is transported between these adjacent detectors on a moving tabletop. Attenuation correction for the nuclear medicine scan can be performed with the CT scan data. Speed of acquisition, examination inflexibility, resolution, and expense are limitations of these devices. Unless some of the laws of physics are suspended, there will not be a way to combine MR technology in the same gantry with CT or nuclear medicine. Fusion with MR requires separate acquisition of the other modality.
Even before formal studies are available in the literature, the fusion image that combines a nuclear medicine image and an anatomic image, or two nuclear medicine images, or two anatomic images, helps with the three "C's". Findings are made more conspicuous as one study (usually the nuclear medicine image) provides enhancement of the findings on the other. Findings are clarified as one study is used to explain the findings on the other (and this "C" works both ways). Diagnostic certainty improves, as the reading physician becomes more confident as a result of viewing the fusion images. Fusion imaging has arrived. AR

The Man Has No Hands: The Abridged Diary of a Virgin Burner (Excerpts)
By Pete Lee
Prologue PRIOR TO ATTENDING THE BURN, I committed a mistake that would be typical of a virgin. My naïveté had convinced me that I knew what Burning Man was going to be like. Why wouldn't I? I had spent years reading the Burning Man website. I had engaged in many hours of conversations about Burning Man with long-time veterans. And, I think I'd be correct to say that, compared to average society, I've had a varied life: camp counselor, wilderness rescuer, salesman, EMT, journalist, world traveler, assistant director for independent films and technology consultant-just to name a few. What haven't I already experienced? I soon discovered the answer. A lot. I write this because friends who haven't gone need me to, and friends who have gone will ask me about it. I am writing this because I love my friends, but can be lazy at times. I don't know whether or not I'll feel like talking about it now, then, in the future, or at all, so this is a bit of insurance against complacency. It's about love, people. I've also written this because, perhaps, my laziness isn't as much laziness, but frustration. Have you ever tried to explain color to a blind man? Now you see. Within the continuum of this diary, you will discover my perspective on why I love The Burn, and why it changed me. Change that didn't occur because of one particular experience, but a sum of many incredible moments. I would be truly happy if something in this diary jogs your mind, and reminds you of a moment of bliss, terror, or enlightenment that has happened to you. Right now, your experience, dear reader, is more important than mine. Before I continue, I have an ethical responsibility to communicate a bit of mundane business at this time to those who have not been to Burning Man. Inspired by a comment sagely noted by my housemate Rich, I need to note that the experiences of an individual at Burning Man are wholly, solely, ineffably, and completely their own. Those who show up create a uniquely personal experience, the results of a nebulous formula that includes factors such as a desire to participate, willingness to take healthy risks, and good old fate (thanks, Shiva!). Nothing I write here should be construed as a description of Burning Man. I am certain of only my own experience
and even that I question as I sally forth into the dark night of the soul that begins this diary. Of only one thing I am certain: I was meant to share it with you. Reasons Why I Shamelessly Obfuscated the Fact That I Had Bought My Ticket In May 1. I was ashamed of the stupidity of why I told people for years that I wanted to come, but didn't really try hard enough. Even after years of attempting to convince me to go. [Looking back, I now know that I would be ready when I was ready.] 2. I wanted absolute power over controlling exactly who I wanted to participate and hang out with. 3. Isn't there an element of obfuscation in the Burning Man Experience? 4. I swear, the devil made me do it! (Specifically, Uncle Satan and Miss Inferno.) Reasons Why Most of My Friends Knew Differently 1. Showed up to too many incredibly fun and inspiring craft nights and "men's knitting circles" involving way too many power tools. 2. Some folks had heard my excuse that work was the reason, and knew I had become unemployed. 3. Wasn't a funny joke anymore for some. 4. Evil mind powers used against me. Some Other Great Reasons 1. Hey, Tiger Wedding. GRRRR! 2. "Dude, we're at Center Camp this year! On the grid! Near ice!" 3. Burning Man is probably going to be cancelled next year. 4. Our neighbors include an AA group, the Intergalactic House of Pancakes, and a Jazz club. 5. We have four freaking Art Cars-this is ridiculous! 6. Drunken whining/cajoling/threatening fifteen minute conversations about "Pete why aren't you coming? WHY WHY WHY?" will finally stop, thank god. Reasons Why It Took Me Three Years to Drive To Burning Man 1. "I'd love to but I have debt to pay off, and it sounds kind of expensive." 2. "It's just a big party/rave/art festival." 3. "You know, I'd really love to go this year, but my work really needs me." 4. "Yeah, but I've done and experienced lots of things like that already." 5. "I'd rather take that time and money to do something really interesting, like travel abroad." Responses My Friends Gave to Call Me on My Bullshit and Make My Drive Much Shorter Next Year 1. "What the hell do you really spend your money on?" 2. "Burning Man is not a rave, and has not had a rave camp since 1996." (a quote from the FAQ at the Burning Man website) 3. "Gee Pete, are you really meaning to say that your employer can't live without you for a few days. Sounds like you might have an ego problem." (Marcus) 4. "Oh no you haven't! Trust me. Let's talk about this." 5. (If I was really wanting to do that, why haven't I made good on threats to travel to Asia or Europe within the last three years?) Quotes & Greeters THERE IS AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF EFFECTIVE WISDOM CONTAINED WITHIN THE POETIC, COMPACT AND ELEGANT CONFINES OF A GREAT QUOTE. Some turning points in my life have happened because someone told me something I needed and was ready to hear at a precise moment. As we wended our way to the gates of Black Rock City, we read what seemed like hundreds of signs. Each had parts of quotes. Some quotes I wasn't sure what to think of. Some, I was moved and inspired by. Others, I was surprised to see: notably, the writings of Teresa of Avila-quotes from Catholic mystics aren't something I would expect to see at an event shallowly described by some to be a "pagan festival." And, the requisite contrast: "BELIEVE ALL SIGNS BUT THIS ONE." As I cross through the gates, our car is greeted by someone in rather strange attire. I can't remember exactly how the dress looked, but it had a busty, white, shiny, feathery quality to it. One would not expect this from a greeter at Wal-Mart. And, before I could reconcile my mind with this circumstance, we were yanked out of our car by people yelling "Virgins!" and were commanded to loudly ring a bell. I experienced a rush of happy emotions I didn't understand, and was hugged by the greeter telling me "Welcome Home," which I understood even less. I would be welcomed home by many after that, and see signs on cars saying "Going Home." What the hell was all of this welcome home thing about? Weirdos! Looking back, I would hear the bells through the quiet beginning of a week on the Playa and coyly smile at the great fortune of the virgins coming through the gate. Fuck You I HAD ALWAYS HEARD THAT WHATEVER YOU WERE LOOKING FOR AT BURNING MAN, YOU WOULD FIND. Prior to attending, I found this a rather charming statement cute in its innocence. I discovered the amazing truth of this statement later. I also discovered that things you were definitely not looking for would come find you. I was passed by a group of individuals, riding in a parade of art cars through Center Camp. All of the cars were black, the conveyance for a group of blackly clad people toting bullhorns, towing a black broken car with a burned-out frame of a rather large dinosaur atop. Before I could complete my first thought of "gee, how odd," I heard one of the bullhorn toters say, with a rather matter-of-fact tone, FUCK YOU. Not in anger, not in jest, but in a neutral tone reminiscent of train saying "mind the gap" or "next stop, Old Town/Chinatown," FUCK YOU. The passing crowds responded in turn. "Fuck you asshole!" Suddenly, I find myself enthusiastically shouting back to the riders, "Bullshit!"-shocking myself. I wasn't quite ready to tell anyone to fuck off (hey, I'm new), and then laughed, as many others in the audience did. I discovered later that this bit of crowd-participation-cum-performance-art was very likely the fine work of DPW, the hard working staff who set up the city. During the previous day's ride, I found one element of their work in miles of long trash fence, staked out at regular intervals with metal fence bars. While a labor of love, this work (as well as many other tasks) would not dispose any group of people to giving off huggy New Age vibes. While taken aback by this, I also discovered that their act of "radical self-expression" triggered a very necessary radical experience. Why should I be offended by someone telling me to fuck off? After all, shouldn't I already be settled with the fact that I am who I am? I have my imperfections, my gifts, and, quite frankly, if someone doesn't like that, why shouldn't I take that as an opinion (which it is) and simply respect that? How many times has an outside opinion caused me to do things which really didn't provide any lasting reward? Become a doctor or a lawyer
Only date/marry people who are like X, Y, and Z
Work like a slave and make more money
Wear clothes of Brand X
Buy status symbols
Don't embarrass us! And how many times have I consented to believing these opinions, and thoughtlessly plodded along? Especially in the last few years of my profession, I had managed to get myself into a vicious cycle of cluelessly fucking myself over. The most truthful personal response to DPW should really have been "Why yes, I have been working extremely hard, doing just that to myself. Thanks for the reminder." This experience was one of many that led me to arrive at The Burn as a spectator in my own life, and leave a more active participant in it. To DPW, one of my favorite and most inspiring groups of performance artists, FUCK YOU!

Library Liaison Program
The Library uses a Liaison program to facilitate the development of library collections and services which are responsive to the needs of faculty and students. Its key components are communication and collaboration. Each academic division and program is assigned a liaison librarian, whose responsibility it is to establish and/or further a cooperative relationship that allows for the communication of faculty and student needs to the library. In turn, the liaisons communicate about the library's resources, services and policies.
The program matches the librarian's educational and professional subject expertise, whenever possible. For example, the liaison to the social work, sociology and psychology faculty has a master's degree in social work.
Liaisons become familiar with curriculum offerings and faculty research and areas of expertise. They learn about existing and new resources in their subject areas and share this information. Liaisons collaborate with individual faculty as well as attend division/departmental meetings to exchange information.
Liaisons request faculty assistance in developing collections. Recommendations are welcomed. Every effort is made to acquire the materials faculty request. Faculty assistance in evaluating materials for removal from the collections is solicited and welcomed. Liaison librarians share responsibility for selection by making appropriate purchases based on their knowledge of college curriculum and the research needs of faculty and students.
Recent acquisitions can be browsed by following a link on the library's home page. To assist users in identifying items of interest, they are grouped by subjects relevant to the various divisions and programs of the college. Lists are published regularly and previous lists are maintained for a year. Resources such as collections and databases are featured on the library's home page.
Please send requests to the librarian assigned to your department/program:

Dear Anonymous poster
I assume that this is a second posting by the same person. It is again unsigned and more offensive than the first. Your last two sentences in the second point are inappropriate for polite discourse.

Welcome, guest
March 26, 2012
Man Group CEO Peter Clarke believes the acquisition of GLG has given rise to a uniquely balanced and scalable alternative investment business that spans a growing range of liquid systematic and discretionary strategies, that can access all types of investors around the world and that should be able to deliver uncorrelated return streams in most market environments. But a strong performance in 2012 would help to convince sceptics after a tough year in 2011. In an exclusive and wide-ranging interview with EuroHedge, Clarke talks about strategy, synergy, culture, growth, markets, new products, regulation, acquisitions and much more besides
Assets in European hedge funds remained stable in 2011 in the face of increasingly severe market and macro headwinds – although the Eurozone crisis took its toll in the second half
For more than a decade Charlemagne Capital's OCCO Eastern European fund has been one of the star performers in the often-volatile emerging market equity space – managing to capture most of the upside while minimising exposure to the downside risks to which emerging market equities have been so vulnerable
The event-driven specialist is making good returns with a strategy that is focused on liquid investments and soft-catalyst plays in Europe, Asia and the emerging markets
Twelve months after absorbing Gartmore, the combined Henderson/AlphaGen hedge fund group is flourishing in terms of manager morale, investor inflows and new growth opportunities
GLG's experienced TMT sector specialists, Philip Pearson and Anthony Burton, are pursuing a quasi-market neutral approach to exploit twin themes of creation and destruction throughout the technology world in a new phase of rapid innovation and virtual revolution driven by the smartphone and the tablet

Once upon a time, with the question what can be done with Area 51, many users realized that Area 51 doesn't seem to work all of the time, but no one seems to have taken that a step back, in finding what actually makes sites take off. I'm proposing that we take a look at what makes sites successful, and then what should make site successful, and see if we can shrink the distance between the two. Given this approach, I believe we can make the site a better place.
What makes a site successful?
Proof of this:
What should be the metrics?
How could we get there? One thing that I realized when typing this up is that all we need is a few users who are willing to moderate the site in its early stages, and a bunch of people willing to ask questions. It might turn into a free for all early on, but the dust will settle, and the site can be recovered. Science Fiction and Fantasy is living proof of such a site, it was rocky at first, but now stands as a very solid site. All it took was a few people with the power and interest to set the site on the right course. As for more of a list:

Comprehensive Plan Glossary
This Glossary, updated May 14, 2013, contains an alphabetical
listing defining terms as they are used in the context of the
Comprehensive Plan. These terms are not intended to be the same
definitions as used in the County's Zoning Ordinance. Rather, they
are intended only to explain terms used in the Plan.
Download Glossary(PDF)
NATIONAL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY: The Clean Air Act, which was last amended in 1990, requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards for pollutants considered harmful to public health and the environment. NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES: See Virginia Landmarks Register/National Register of Historic Places. NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING CENTERS: Centers that range in size between 80,000 and 125,000 square feet. They serve an area within three to five minutes driving time and generally have a supermarket as the anchor store. To support a center with a supermarket anchor, a population of 10,000 or more is desirable. NEIGHBORHOOD (MINI AND PORTABLE) LIBRARIES: Small facilities that provide popular titles and the most essential services. Monthly circulation level is 4,000 to 10,000 volumes. NITROGEN: A nutrient, which when released into surface water, may stimulate the growth of aquatic organisms. Such organisms, upon decomposition, can adversely affect the ecological quality of a surface water body by depleting its supply of dissolved oxygen. OPEN SPACE: The Virginia Open Space Land Act defines "open-space land" as any land which is provided or preserved for (i) park or recreation purposes, (ii) conservation of land or other natural resources, (iii) historic or scenic purposes, (iv) assisting in the shaping of the character, direction, and timing of community development, or (v) wetlands as defined in §28.2-1300. [The Virginia Open Space Land Act, Va. Code Ann. §§ 10.1-1700 through -1705 (Michie 1998)] OPEN SPACE EASEMENT: A legal mechanism whereby a landowner retains ownership of his/her land, but grants some right(s) to the land to a public body, such as the Board of Supervisors. The Code of Virginia, Virginia Open Space Land Act, § 10.1-1700, authorizes public bodies to hold easements and also defines the purpose of open-space easements to include retaining or protecting the property value of natural or open space, assuring the availability of open space for agricultural, forestal, recreational, or open space use; protecting natural resources; maintaining or enhancing air or water quality; or preserving historical, architectural or archeological resources. The Virginia Open Space Land Act, as paraphrased, defines "public body" as any state agency, county, municipality, park authority, public recreational facilities authority, soil and water conservation district, and community development authority having authority under the Code of Virginia to acquire land for public use. [The Virginia Open Space Land Act, Va. Code Ann. §§ 10.1-1700 through -1705 (Michie 1998)] OZONE: An air pollutant that forms from the interactions of oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds with sunlight. High ozone concentrations can adversely affect human health. Motor vehicles are the major source of oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds in the Washington metropolitan area. |

Tony Kushner Wins $100k 'Creative Citizenship' Award; Donates Money to CUNY, FTW
Last night, Pulitzer Prize-winner playwright and Abe Lincoln screenwriter Tony Kushner was awarded $100,000 as part of a joint "Creative Citizenship" Award from The Nation Institute and the Puffin Foundation.
Giving a speech at The Nation Institute's Annual Gala last night at The Metropolitan Pavilion, Mr. Kushner humbly accepted the prize for his progressive–and somewhat controversial–voice in politics, religion, and theater, noting that he felt a little bit guilty since anytime he heard of anyone winning an award, he always felt a twinge of jealousy. Jokingly, Mr. Kushner gave an example of being aggrieved that Israeli scientist Dan Shechtman won the Nobel Prize this year for the discovery of quasicrystals. "I don't even understand what quasicrystals are," Mr. Kushner said. "But I still thought, 'Aww, why didn't I win?'" Read More

Quilts from the American Homefront isn't just a quilt block book, it's a memoir book. The letters from loved ones to soldiers in the war are very touching; they remind us of how much they were missed while in action. Using letters, postcards, and photos, Rosemary pieces together a patchwork view in which our nation was forged.
Techniques: piecing

- Other Books You'll Love
As the daughter of a very proud Navy veteran of World War II, who married the love of his life on D-Day, June 6, 1941, this book really caught my eye. It's not only a book of quilt blocks, and suggestions of how to put them together in a quilt, but also a collection of letters from a group of soldiers written to their loved ones while they were overseas during the war. These touching communications were the only means of keeping in touch in those days, and are so heartwarming.
It's my intention to choose a group of the blocks from the book and make a quilt using some of my favorite red, white and blue fabrics. It will be in memory of my Dad, and I may just give it to my Mom.

Ivan Milat was born December 27, 1944 in Guildford, Australia. Ivan was born to a large immigrant Yugoslav family in rural Australia. From the age of 17, Ivan was in trouble with the police, but nothing like the seven murders he would be convicted for in 1996. Milat became known as the Backpack Killer after being found guilty of seven gruesome murders, though suspected of more.
Early Life
Ivan Robert Marko Milat was born in Australia on December 27, 1944, one of 14 children in an extended Yugoslavian immigrant family. Family life was rural and insular, and the Milats kept to themselves, making reliable information about Ivan Milat's upbringing difficult to obtain. Interviews with his brother, Boris, after Milat's trial, indicate that he exhibited psychopathic tendencies early on, though other family members dispute this. Milat was described as a good-looking, muscular boy, who had a fascination for hunting and guns, and took great care of his appearance. His parents were hard working and strict. With 14 children to manage, discipline was difficult, and Milat and his brothers had a reputation for lawlessness in their neighborhood. The family endured numerous police visits to their farm as the children grew older.
From the age of 17 Milat was constantly in trouble with both the police and the courts, on charges as varied as housebreaking, car thefts and armed robberies.
In 1971, Milat was put on trial for the alleged rape of two female hitchhikers, who testified that he had been armed with a knife during the attacks, but he was acquitted on the rape charges when the prosecution failed to make a convincing case against him.
There has been much speculation about the true number of Milat's victims, given that he has always maintained his innocence, but the luckiest of them was certainly British backpacker Paul Onions, who was hitchhiking south from Sydney, in search of work, and was picked up by Milat on January 25, 1990.
Milat was initially very friendly, introducing himself as "Bill," but Onions found Milat's personal questions about his plans unnerving, and he became concerned for his safety when Milat began ranting, and making racist and xenophobic remarks. When Milat pulled his car to the side of the road, Onions tried to get out, but Milat pulled out a revolver and told him to put on his seatbelt. Onions managed to bolt for safety, leaving his backpack, which contained all his possessions and passport. Despite Milat's threat that he would shoot him, he managed to flag down a passing car, which took him to the nearest police station so that he could report the incident. He returned to Sydney to replace the missing passport, and eventually returned to the UK, not yet aware of his narrow escape.
The first of Milat's less fortunate victims to be discovered were British backpackers, Caroline Clarke and Joanne Walters. They were found in an area of the Belangalo State Forest known as Executioners Drop, by orienteering enthusiasts who were out on their weekly run, on September 19, 1992. This location was not far from the area where the attack on Paul Onions had occurred in 1990.

"You are the result of the intentions of your thoughts, good and bad, positive and negative. The law of attraction is indifferent to the outcome or consequence. It responds to the true intent of any thought that you have."
"Women have been responsible for the downfall of man, since the beginning of time. Attracted to evil, they truly are the most twisted of creatures. Chaos and destruction rule their world and like idiots, we follow them, to our inevitable demise."
Enrique Vega
"Whoever first said "Beauty is only skin deep" was truly mistaken... It's much deeper."
Nicholas A. Ferroni

"The brush is merely a tool - though it can be crafted a magic wand."
"Congress's underlying policy is that you use the minimum number of clauses for commercial items procurement, to attract companies that are not traditional government contractors. So the more clauses you add, the more you get the companies having second thoughts."
