NCPR News Staff: Brian Mann
Adirondack Bureau Chief
Brian Mann grew up in Alaska, where he fell in love with public radio. In 1999, Brian moved to the Adirondacks and helped launch NCPR's news bureau at Paul Smiths College. "I love the chemistry of water and mountains," Brian says. "But I'm also pretty crazy about village life in the north country. It's the kind of place where you know your neighbors." Brian lives in Saranac Lake with wife Susan and son Nicholas. He's a frequent contributor to NPR and also writes regularly for regional magazines, including Adirondack Life and the Adirondack Explorer. E-mail

txtorcon is a Twisted-based asynchronous Tor control protocol implementation. Twisted is an event-driven networking engine written in Python, and Tor is an onion-routing network designed to improve people's privacy and security on the Internet. It includes unit-tests with 96%+ coverage, multiple examples, and documentation. There are abstractions to track Tor configuration and state (circuits, streams), launch private instances, support Hidden Service, and more.
The Dynamic Router Lite II project is a router project by the Dutch national police agency that allows Web-based client-control over the next-hop router for the client. A Dynamic Router Lite II system is placed as a default gateway between one or more client networks and a router network with multiple gateway-routers on it. The Dynamic Router Lite II system does policy-based routing with policy-based DNS to match the routing policy. By default a client will have no active gateway, and any attempted HTTP traffic to any domain will lead the user to the router's Web interface, where the user can then pick an appropriate next-hop router. Once picked, all traffic for the client including DNS will be forwarded to the next-hop router the user picked.
Mother is a framework written in Python and based on Twisted. It is designed to make development of Web applications easy and fast. It provides: simple URL mapping to code; handling of multiple content types (HTML, JSON, etc.); integration with Tentacles ORM; and the use of templating tools (currently, only Mako is supported).
Card Stories provides a server for a networked guessing game using picture cards. One player (the "author") starts the game by choosing a card, picking a word or a sentence to describe it, and sending out invitations to others to participate. Each of these players receives seven cards and has to pick one that best matches the author's description. Once enough players have chosen a card, the author displays all chosen cards and the players try to figure out which one is the author's. If at least one but not all of them guesses correctly, the author wins, along with the players who guessed correctly. Otherwise, the guessers all win.
Salut à Toi (or SàT: "Hi to You") is an XMPP/Jabber client with multi-frontends. You can use it on a desktop (Wix), with a console interface (Primitivus), as a command-line tool (jp), or on the Web (Libervia). A plugin architecture is used to make it modular. With SàT, you can perform all the expected XMPP functions (instant messaging, multi-user chat, file transfert, etc.), but you can also use your email client (MUA) to read and send your XMPP messages, play games, do microblogging, pipe Unix command results, make scripts, etc.
Cyclone is a low-level network toolkit that provides support for HTTP 1.1 in an API very similar to the one implemented by the Tornado Web server. It has localization based on gettext with pluralization support, native support for XMLRPC and JSONRPC, native support for WebSockets (drafts 75 and 76), decent support for sending plain text or HTML email with TLS and attachments, built-in support for Redis, and support for HTTP authentication.

< Return To Hearing
Michael HutchinsApril 29, 2008
U. S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary Hearing Hello. My name is Michael Hutchins; I live in Burlington, Vermont, and I am 25 years old. I currently work as a Residential Manager at the Spectrum Youth Co-op, a group home in which Spectrum Youth and Family Services houses up to six male youth, ages 15-19. While I myself have never been through the foster care system, as these young men have, I do know what it is like to be homeless and I know how difficult it is to be struggling with addictions and mental disorders, as these young men are. With family members--and friends of family members--that work in the field of Human Services, a referral to Spectrum came swiftly to my list of options; other choices included joining the military, moving to Philadelphia near my brother, or staying in Orlando and risking death yet again. I chose Spectrum, because I wanted to be closer to home and people I knew. Once I arrived at Spectrum and made the decision to stay dedicated to getting my life on track and clear of narcotics, it only took me two months to earn my way out of the shelter and into Spectrum's transitional living facility: the Single-Room-Occupancy program. During my 18 month stay at the SRO, I went through intensive inpatient treatment at Conifer Park's drug rehabilitation center, intensive outpatient treatment in the form of group therapy which met three times each week at a Burlington facility called "Day One," and attended Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings nearly twice a day. Everyone on my Spectrum treatment team--my case manager, my counselor, my doctor, my workers from the JOBS Program and the Education Department--as well as all the residential managers who worked in the shelter and the SRO, all helped me achieve my ultimate goal: to live independently as a self-sufficient young adult out in the community. Once I successfully completed the three phases of the SRO program, I moved into an apartment with a friend I had made while working as a seasonal worker at a video game store. While living with my friend and successfully paying rent, bills, and previous debts, I first attained employment as a Shift Supervisor at the local mall's McDonald's restaurant, and not too long after that I returned to the video game store as an Assistant Store Manager. It did not take long for me to realize that as proud as I was to be in a managerial position, I definitely did not want to be in retail for the rest of my life. It was around this time that I recalled a conversation I had with Elise Brokaw, our Residential Director, in which I asked if she thought I would be a good staff member some day. Her reply was, "let's give it a year out there on your own, and then come see me. We'd be glad to have you." I applied for part-time respite work at the Co-op and gave my two week notice to my store manager the second I was hired at Spectrum. Despite having never worked in the Human Services field, I had incredible confidence that having been through the program myself would be an incredible asset and an efficient tool I could use while working with youth whose shoes I had been so recently standing in. Now that I have worked here at the Co-op for almost three years, it has been amazing to watch these young individuals work on treatment goals similar to those I had once set for myself; it is highly rewarding to be able to assist and support them through their difficult struggles. Now, instead of helping people make important decisions on which video game to purchase, I am helping people make important decisions about their lives. When a youth tells me that I don't understand what they're going through, I can tell them that I know exactly how they are feeling. I believe my experience as a Spectrum client gives hope to the youth I work with; they can see proof that succession through this program is indeed possible, and I've even had a few of them ask me if I thought they would make good staff members themselves some day. I can only hope that the youth that I work with, as well as the thousands and thousands of homeless and runaway youth in this nation today, will be able to share their own success stories and encourage others to improve the quality of their lives as well. Without the funding that the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act provides to organizations like Spectrum nationwide, those success stories might never occur; if Spectrum Youth and Family Services had not existed on that 19th day of May, in 2002, it is more than probable that I would not be standing before you this very minute. I profess to you today that I believe in this system whole-heartedly, and I implore you to not only reauthorize this act, but to focus in the years to come on how we, as a nation, can improve the quality of the lives of those youth who believe there will be no brighter tomorrow. |

Will The G1 Continue To Get One?
One of the significant disadvantages of being an early adopter of any new technology is what comes after it, specifically, the improvements that every technology experiences over time. Such appears to be the case for those who rushed to pick up the G1 — the first Android phone on the market — as questions have begun to pop up over whether the device is in line to see its last update.
Like any device, the G1 has certain physical limitations — only so much stuff can fit in the case, and among the stuff being stuffed in is its memory. Apparently, according to one of Google's developers, not enough memory was stuffed when the stuffing was good, and now G1 owners may find themselves short on updates.
Posting via Twitter — the mass-communication tool of choice these days, it would seem — Google's Jean-Baptiste Queru announced on Friday that the G1 is running out of space. "As much as I'm hoping that it'll be possible to somehow continue updating the G1, I can't promise anything." Queru ought to know, considering that he's one of the guys working on it, and apparently the team knew going in that space would be shrinking. "We knew that internal flash space was going to be very tight on the G1 and we kept the system partition tight on purpose," he wrote later, in response to ideas from fellow Twitterites on how to proceed.
Google, for its part, apparently isn't commenting, but T-Mobile apparently was. A statement from the company reportedly proclaimed: "We plan to continue working with Google to introduce future software updates to the T-Mobile G1. Reports to the contrary are inaccurate." That raises the question — and users are most certainly already raising it — of whether the company is denying outright that a problem exists, if there is a solution in the works that nobody is willing to talk about, or if a bit of corporate doublespeak is underway. The suggestion has already been made that "future software updates" may refer to security and bugfix updates, but not feature upgrades.
Those interested in Queru's comments might wish to have a look through his Twitter stream, though his most recent tweet, as of this writing, suggests that he's said his piece. "At this point I can't comment any further on this issue, sorry."

Root it
If you just Root the G1 as per the instructions given on XDA Developers, or numerous other locations on the net you wont have to rely on updates from t-mobile or any other supplier.
There are a whole plethora of ROMS available with new ones coming out almost daily which already do over and above what the Stock G1 was supposed to be able to do i.e multitouch, senseui, apps2d, etc.
Yes is true to say that this is only for the techie's and the geeks out there(like myself), although not complicated to root and Flash the G1 with another ROM, the average user isnt at all interested in going through all this and indeed why would they? I think that android is still for the geeks at the moment, I personally love it but joe public just doesnt 'get it' and wont do until it becomes available in an 'iphone-esque' standard which anyone can just pick up and play with. The one downside with open-source is that its not standardised enough for the consumer market and I dont think that android will ever compete with Iphone on that note.
Cellphone carriers... Bah who needs them!
Even if T-mobile will leaves the G1 in the dust, check out the work at xda developers, they'll show you how to teach an old new tricks.
By the way they've tweaked the HTC Hero's ROM to fit on the G1 and a microSD card
Now that only leaves someone to sell it to the public.
Fact is, with new devices getting more ROM, the pressure to add in new features, and pure one-upmanship from providers, it is inevitable that some Android release will not fit on the G1.
I don't think you can get 200MB free on a G1 any way at all, and I just had a myTouch in my hand with 277MB free, and running the apppack and eyecandy delivered out of the box.
If rooted G1s get any of these much later Android releases, it will be after they have been massaged to spin them into the available ROM and taken advantage of apps2sd etc to move cache and apps off the ROM. Which will get progressively harder until one day even the minimal system won't fit reliably.
I bought my G1 expecting it would last no longer than the upgrade period - 22 months in my case, which means around August 2010, unless TMO decides to do something clever.
And for those of you wondering why the myTouch gets all the love with accessories, bling, etc, well sadly that is a tale in both the market validation the G1 brought and the target market. G1 was pointed at geeks, early adopters, and the brave. myTouch is pointed at their little sisters.
Of course, this means I will sit down and work out rooting my phone. It's the only growth option now for anything beyond Cupcake.
ps- I wonder if Bluetooth is stronger in the myTouch...;)

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Guest Author - Linda Heywood
The word shampoo comes from the Hindu word champo which means to massage. Unfortunately today most commercial shampoos strip the hair of natural oils and damage the outer layer of the hair shaft. That is why conditioners are needed to rectify the damage caused by chemically made shampoo.
Shampoo made from olive oil and sold in health food stores is the best shampoo for all types of hair. Add a decoction of your favourite herb such as lavender, chamomile or rosemary to give the hair lustre and fragrance. This also dilutes the shampoo solution which does not create the familiar, satisfying foam but still cleans the hair. Look for shampoos with high oil content and made from natural ingredient such as aloe vera which soothes an itching scalp, lemon oil for greasy hair, tea tree oil for dandruff or even chocolate which is beneficial for dark hair.
The best conditioner for hair is ripe avocado pear. Rich in natural oils avocado is a powerful restorer and moisturiser for dry hair. Finely mash up the avocado with a tablespoon of warm ghee (clarified butter), if hair is very dry, then apply the luscious green mixture to damp hair massaging well into the hair and scalp. Wrap in a warm towel or cling wrap and leave for twenty minutes. Wash hair with a weak shampoo solution to remove the avocado flesh and add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to the final rinse for fragrance. Towel dry the hair and put a few drops of almond or coconut oil onto the palms of the hands and rub together and then wipe through the damp hair. Comb and leave to dry then brush well for glossy, soft and delicious smelling hair.
Enhancing Hair Colour
There are many natural ingredients that can be used to enhance the natural colour of your hair. Herbs are the perfect way to experiment because they temporarily revitalize and brighten the hair colour without damage or risk to health. The effects will not be as dramatic as with chemical colorants but your hair will look healthy and shinier and herbs can even be used to tone down grey hair.
Chamomile flowers will brighten blonde hair. A strong infusion dabbed into the hair or used as the final rinse will add golden highlights. Sit in the sun and allow it to dry before rinsing for extra depth. Steep a cup full of chamomile flowers in enough water to make a strong brew, strain through a muslin cloth or very fine sieve and then either dab it onto the hair with cotton wool or pour it repeatedly over the hair and head and then leave on for twenty minutes, followed by a final rinse. Allow to dry naturally.
Sage leaves will darken hair and enrich brown or black tones. Steep half a cup of chopped sage leaves in boiling water for half an hour, strain and leave to cool. Towel dry the hair and rinse it over and over in the sage tea, leave on the hair for fifteen minutes and then rinse. Dab a strong sage infusion onto grey hair to tone it down.
Henna will bring out the red tones in hair and now comes in a range from deep dark reds to delicate, warm rose tones for blonde hair. For a less drastic look use a henna rinse by steeping one tablespoon each of henna powder, chamomile flowers and vinegar into a quart of boiling water for fifteen minutes. Strain and when cool pour the rinse through after shampooing and leave on for twenty minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Use rubber gloves to avoid staining the hands.
Intense Conditioning
When hair is over coloured, over dried and frizzy a hot oil mask is the only solution. Warm some olive, almond or coconut oil by putting the container into hot water and then apply warm oil liberally to the hair. Wrap the hair in cling wrap or a warm towel and leave for as long as possible, overnight is best. Wash the hair with a mild shampoo solution, rinse and towel dry. Apply a few drops of oil to the hands and smooth through the hair with a wide tooth comb. Leave to dry naturally and brush well. Hair will be soft, vibrant and smooth.
The use of hot appliances like hair driers, straighteners and rollers can damage the hair by burning the outer cuticle causing split ends. Nothing works better on split ends than a good hair-cut. To keep hair in tip-top condition avoid the over use of heated hair appliances and chemical hair products.
Trust in yourself. Your perceptions are often more accurate than you are willing to believe. ~ Claudia Black

Uzbekistan's Top Picks
Top 5 Must-See Monuments of Uzbekistan
- Ark Fortress: Bukhara's massive fortress is a most impressive architectural wonder. Masked in legend, tourists flock to this grand structure to both admire its existence and gain some understanding of local history. If the walls could talk they would speak of royal dynasties, Mongol conquerors and Bolshevik sieges, all taking place over hundreds of years of history.
- Shah-i-Zinda Mausoleum: This ancient, sprawling complex features mausoleums and other buildings used for rituals and worship. With intricately carved mosaics, elaborate tile work and arched doors, a visit here reveals architectural gems and fascinating moments in Central Asia's history.
- Ak-Saray Palace: Shakhrisabz is home to many monumental buildings but one of the most spectacular is the ruins of the awesome Ak-Saray Palace. With coloured, glazed bricks that shimmer in the sun, elegant mosaics and splendid calligraphy, this monument is a standout of Uzbekistan.
- Bibi Khanum Mosque: This huge, holy site located in Samarkand was built all the way back in the 14th century. Suffering damage due to earthquakes and the ravages of time, it has now been partially restored and stands as a magnificent example of Central Asian Islamic architecture.
- The Registan: Hailed as one of Central Asia's most recognisable monuments, the Registan's towering minarets, blue domes and beautiful, tiled exteriors are decadently dazzling. The interiors are as exceptional as the facade, so don't miss a visit here while travelling through Samarkand.

Five social media lessons from @BubbaWatson, Masters champ
UPDATE - MONDAY, APRIL 16: Two days ago, I wrote this post, and in point #5, I pointed out a problem with Bubba Watson's Twitter profile photo at the time. It featured the "General Lee," a car I loved as a kid watching the "Dukes of Hazzard," not caring about the Confederate flag painted on the roof. As I say below, no one can object to Watson owning the car or displaying it at home. It's displaying it online and with every tweet that would cause a controversy. Yesterday, Watson swapped out his profile … Read more

Short Stops
The Twins had a day off. Even the E-Twins had a day off. So, I'm just going to set up the pitching matchups for the Twins series at home with the Angels that starts tonight. We'll go over the highlights from the Twins minor league affiliate games from yesterday and then I'm going to call it a day.
The big news yesterday was that Roger Clemens was kicked out of a baseball game. The funny part... he was kicked out of his son's 10-and-under baseball game. He was kicked out after commenting on a call against his son. The umpire said that Clemens spit sunflower seeds at him. As the day went on yesterday, this story seems to have been blown out of proportion.
The hit counts continue to rise. Please feel free to e-mail me any time and I will try to respond as soon as possible. Thank you!
The Twins had another off day yesterday, as all but four big league teams did not play. It gave everyone in America the opportunity to see Devil Rays phenom BJ Upton make his major league debut against he Red Sox on ESPN!
Johan Santana was named AL Pitcher of the Month for July. Joe Nathan and Terry Mulholland also received votes for the honor.
Here are the up-to-date standings in the AL Central:
American League Central Standings
Minnesota Twins 59-45 .567 ---
Chicago White Sox 53-49 .525 5.0
Cleveland Indians 53-53 .500 7.0
Detroit Tigers 50-55 . 476 9.5
Kansas City Royals 37-66 .350 21.5
Tonight the Twins and Angels start a three game series. Here are the pitching matchups:
Tuesday - 7:10 - Carlos Silva (9-7, 4.52, 1.45, .314) vs John Lackey (9-9, 4.52, 1.28, .267)
Wednesday - 7:10 - Kyle Lohse (4-8, 5.21, 1.66, .314) vs Aaron Sele (6-0, 4.66, 1.46, .284)
Thursday - 12:10 - Brad Radke (7-6, 3.77, 1.16, .274) vs Ramon Ortiz (3-6, 3.94, 1.27, .248)
Kelvim Escobar has been a small disappointment. Bartolo Colon has been a massive disappointment. Jarrod Washburn is on the disabled list. Garrett Anderson missed a lot of games. Darin Erstad has had injuries. Troy Glaus had surgery and is out for the season. But there bullpen is still great. The Twins could really use another series win.
OK, so now what are your thoughts on the Twins? E-mail me.
Redwings 5, Ottawa 3 (13 innings) - Matt Guerrier had a very strong start. He gave up just an unearned run in 7.2 innings. He gave up five hits and walked two, and struck out five.

2012 Your Voice Sample Survey
What is the Your Voice Survey?
The Your Voice Survey is an opportunity for University of Newcastle staff to share their experiences on a range of topics. The survey is run in full every three years with the next survey due in 2013. As part of the NeW Directions planning process in 2012 we are conducting a brief version of the survey with a sample of staff.
Who needs to complete the survey?
Invitations will be sent by email to a sample of staff on 17 September. The survey will invite 50% of full time continuing staff and 25% of casual, contract and sessional staff to share their voice by responding to the survey. The sample will be selected to ensure we have a cross-section of people from all faculties/divisions and locations. The online survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
Is it confidential?
Your responses will be completely confidential and anonymous. The survey is being conducted by an organisation independent of the University to ensure confidentiality. UoN will not know which staff received an invitation to participate or who completed the survey.
To protect confidentiality of reporting, if a unit or area has only a few responses, these responses will be merged with other like areas so no individual can be identified.
How will the results be used?
All responses and any comments you provide will be analysed by the Voice Project, an offsite consulting company. Results will be benchmarked with the results of our previous surveys and those of comparable universities. The results will give us a timely 'health check' on how our staff are feeling, and will enable us to evaluate whether our initiatives are working and to develop future action plans.
How were the results used from the 2010 survey?
We are listening. The 2010 Your Voice Survey results have heavily influenced UoN policy, procedure and vision, and continue to do so. In particular, steps have been taken to improve communication within and between all levels of our organisation. Visit the website www.newcastle.edu.au/unit/human-resource-services/organisational-development/surveys/surveys to read about how filling out the 2010 survey made a big difference.
When is it happening?
The survey will be running from Monday 17 September to Monday 1 October. If you are selected to be in the sample, you will receive your invitation to participate by email on 17 September. Remember, that we are listening for your experience as told in your voice.
Need more information?
Visit the website www.newcastle.edu.au/unit/human-resource-services/organisational-development/surveys or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Alternatively, contact Laura Juratowitch (49 21 8979, email firstname.lastname@example.com) or Deborah Lewis (4921 5394, email firstname.lastname@example.com).

Neuroblastoma surgery
How is neuroblastoma treated?
Children with neuroblastoma and their families have special needs. These needs can be met best by cancer centers for children, working closely with the child's primary care doctor. Treatment in these centers gives you the advantage of having teams of specialists who understand the differences between cancers in adults and those in children, as well as the unique needs of younger people with cancer.
Treating neuroblastoma is complex and often requires the expertise of many different doctors, nurses, and other health professionals. The doctors on this team often include:
- A pediatric cancer surgeon
- A pediatric oncologist (doctor who uses chemotherapy and other medicines to treat childhood cancers)
- A pediatric radiation oncologist (doctor who uses radiation therapy to treat cancer in children)
Many other specialists may be involved in your child's care as well, including nurse practitioners, nurses, psychologists, social workers, rehabilitation specialists, and other health professionals.
The approach to treatment of neuroblastoma depends on the stage of the cancer, the child's age, and other factors such as the prognostic markers mentioned previously. The types of treatment used may include:
- Surgery
- Chemotherapy
- Retinoid therapy
- Radiation therapy
- High-dose chemotherapy/radiation therapy and stem cell transplant
- Immunotherapy
In many cases, more than one type of treatment is needed.
The next few sections describe the types of treatment used for neuroblastomas. This is followed by a discussion of when these treatments are used in different situations.

Yesterday, President Obama was in Cincinnati, Ohio giving a speech at a park. That obviously drew the attention of everyone in the park. Except for one dude, who's very clearly PEEING INTO SOME BUSHES in the background.
And what's even crazier is that he's behind the president, and the one visible Secret Service agent in the photo doesn't appear to see him.

A Lecture on Tree Rings (Promotional Photo / January 22, 2013) |
You can learn alot about a tree by slicing through it and looking at its cross section. Unfortunately it kills the tree too, so we don't recommend this. But Dr. Neil Pedersen is Research Assistant Professor in the Tree Ring Laboratory at Lamont-Doherty Easth Observatory at Columbia University and he's an expert at figuring out what ancient trees were used to construct historic buildings and boats, including the Bush-Holley House in Greenwich, by inspecting the tree rings that remain. Hear him speak Thursday at the Greenwich Historical Society. Go science!
Greenwich Historical Society, 39 Strickland Road, Greenwich. Thu., Jan. 24, 7 p.m. Free, reservations suggested. (203) 869-6899, ext. 10. greenwichhistory.org.

Cramer Quick Take: Stop Playing Around, Invest in Starbucks
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- If you like Starbucks (SBUX), buy Starbucks, Jim Cramer told Debra Borchardt at TheStreet.com Thursday, but don't try to game the company's upcoming earnings release.
Cramer said trying to figure out what will happen with Starbucks is simply too hard because the company has U.S., European and Chinese components to it.
Making things even tougher, Starbucks had an analyst meeting and laid out its prospects just a month ago, when shares were at $49. Since then, shares are up to $54. So unless things are markedly different in just a month, shares may likely fall, he said.
Cramer said he owns shares of Starbucks for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, but he owns them for the long-term and will not be trying to guess this quarter's earnings.

Faculty Life Committee History
inserted as 3.IV.3 of the Faculty Manual
The principle strength of the proposal for the formation of a Faculty Life Committee lies in its ability to bring together faculty development opportunities in general, sabbatical leaves, and the recommended annual salary distribution. Assigning the aforementioned responsibilities to a single committee ensures that the oversight of these responsibilites is more inclusive, holisitic and coherent than was originally the case.
At the March 2008 meeting of the faculty it was decided that the Faculty Life Committee would assume, in their entirety, the responsibilities of the Faculty Development Committee and the Review and Planning Committee. This committee also assumed the duties of the Honorary Degree sub-committee of the former CEPC.
This committee expands and stregthens the communications currently called for between the Tenure and Promotion Committee and the present Reveiw and Planning Committee.
The Faculty Life Committee redirects the annual reports made by the Faculty Review Committee.
The issues associated with faculty development are many and complex. They include the shape and life-cycle of individual faculty members' careers; the academic and collegial acculturation of untenured faculty; the evaluation of tenured faculty; and the proportion of money budgeted for faculty salaries on the one hand and for faculty development on the other.

By Andrea Shalal-Esa
WASHINGTON, May 3 (Reuters) - Boeing Co's X-51A Waverider made history this week when it achieved the longest hypersonic flight by a jet-fuel powered aircraft, flying for 3-1/2 minutes at five times the speed of sound, the U.S. Air Force said on Friday.
The last of four unmanned experimental military aircraft built by Boeing flew for at a top speed of Mach 5.1 over the Pacific Ocean on May 1, the Air Force said. The total flight covered 230 nautical miles in just over six minutes before the hypersonic cruiser plunged into the ocean.
'It was a full mission success,' said Charlie Brink, who runs the X-51A program for the Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Directorate.
The Air Force said it was the longest of the four X-51A test flights and the longest air-breathing hypersonic flight ever. The technology opens the door to future practical uses for hypersonic jet-fueled aircraft.
A hypersonic aircraft developed by NASA used hydrogen as a fuel to fly briefly at even higher speeds in 2004, but it would take a giant fuel tank to fly for longer periods.
'All we have learned from the X-51A Waverider will serve as the bedrock for future hypersonics research and ultimately the practical application of hypersonic flight,' Brink said.
A video released by the Air Force showed the Waverider dropping down from under the left wing of a B-52 bomber at an altitude of about 50,000 feet and then accelerating away at great speed, leaving behind a long vapor trail.
The cruiser accelerated to March 4.8 in about 26 seconds, powered by a solid rocket booster built by Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, a unit of United Technologies. After separating from the booster, the cruiser's scramjet engine lit and accelerated the vehicle to Mach 5.1 at 60,000 feet.
The vehicle continued to send back data to the control station at Edwards Air Force Base in California until it made a controlled dive into the Pacific Ocean.
'This demonstration of a practical hypersonic scramjet engine is a historic achievement that has been years in the making,' said Darryl Davis, president of Boeing Phantom Works, the company's advanced research and prototyping arm.
'This test proves the technology has matured to the point that it opens the door to practical applications, such as advanced defense systems and more cost-effective access to space,' Davis said.
The first of the four X-51A vehicles flew in May 2010, hitting nearly Mach 5 for nearly two and a half minutes.
The nearly wingless X-51 was made using mostly standard aerospace materials such as aluminum, steel and titanium, although some carbon composites were used in the fins. For heat protection, the vehicle used insulation tiles similar to those used on board the NASA Space Shuttle orbiters.
The Air Force said the four X-51As were built to demonstrate the new technology, not as a prototype for a new weapon system. The program is aimed at paving the way to future hypersonic weapons, hypersonic intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and future access to space, it said.
Since scramjets are able to burn atmospheric oxygen, they can be made lighter than conventional rockets, which may allow satellites to be launched into orbit more efficiently and cheaply.

Vizio delays 55-inch LED-based LCD
According to information from a lineup sheet first posted on engadgetHD, and confirmed by a Vizio spokesman, the company's highly anticipated VF551XVT, previously scheduled for release this month, will be delayed until September.
The 55-inch HDTV is also going to be $200 more expensive. That new price is likely to provide differentiation between the VF551XVT (now $2,199, up from $1,999) and the current VF550XVT (still $1,999), which we reviewed earlier this year and will remain in the company's lineup.
When it finally arrives, we expect the VF551XVT to handily outperform its less-expensive 55-inch brother. That'… Read more

Essential Information
Trip Profile
Flights via Mumbai with Jet Airways. Transport private minibus, boat, public transport, overnight sleeper train, plus 1 internal flight.
10 nights comfortable hotels, all en suite, 1 night basic village house, to experience 'hilltribe hospitality', sleeping communally with shared bath, and is at altitude so is cool at night. 1 night air-conditioned open plan train in soft-bed berths.
In Chiang Mai our hotel is a short walk from the night market, whilst in Koh Samet we stay at a beach resort.
Most hotels have pools, and there are opportunities to swim at waterfalls and beaches.
11 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 1 dinner included.
Reality Check
We strongly recommend that you read the essential information in the Families brochure before booking this holiday.
This holiday is designed so that you can see the best parts of Thailand using a mixture of private buses, boats and a flight. There is a lot to see in the time you are there, but it is paced so that it doesn't feel too rushed. Travel time is kept to a minimum although there are a few longer drives but there is plenty of time for sightseeing and the trip has numerous stops where we spend two or more nights.
The hilltribe trek is relatively relaxed and within the capabilities of families who are keen walkers.
Whilst choosing this trip please note that some of the accommodation will be basic but is clean and tidy. The swimming pools may not be up to western standards. Risk of malaria is present in parts of Thailand.
Locals and other Asian tourists may want to take photos of themselves with your children particularly if they are young, blond and have blue eyes, you should be prepared for them to do this without asking permission first. You will be encouraged to respect the dress code at the Royal palace in Bangkok. Men must wear long trousers and shirts with sleeves, no tank tops. If you're wearing sandals or flip-flops you must wear socks (in other words, no bare feet.) Women must be similarly modestly dressed. No see-through clothes, bare shoulders. If you show up at the front gate improperly dressed, there is a booth near the entry that can provide clothes to cover you up properly.
Normal group size and age
Normally 5 to 18, plus leader and appropriate local guides. Minimum age 5.
Icons explained
Going on a Family Group trip is a fantastic way to meet new friends and create lasting friendships – for parents and children alike! These holidays combine exploration with sociability and fun, as other families will join you. Minimum ages vary across the trip range, but is usually from 5 years old.
Our Family Group holidays usually cater for children from 5 years old. However, experience tells us that children tend to prefer mixing with their own age groups, especially teenagers. That's why we've designated certain departures on our group trips as particularly recommended for teenagers. Whilst we don't restrict younger kids from joining these holidays, the 'recommended for teenagers' departures means there are likely to be other teenagers to share the experience with.
Mixed Activities: Activities may range from the ordinary (for example walking, cycling or whitewater rafting) to the damn right extraordinary (including caving, camel riding or canyoning).
Wildlife: Trips may be wholly wildlife focused, or contain an element of wildlife viewing within a less specific itinerary.
All Exodus trips are active but some may have different activities scheduled every day. Activities we offer include kayaking in Slovakia, trekking in the Drakensberg, cycling in the Tuscan countryside or canoeing along the Zambezi River.
