The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Science Bowl® is a nationwide academic competition that tests students' knowledge in all areas of science and mathematics. Middle and high school student teams from diverse backgrounds are comprised of four students, one alternate, and a teacher who serves as an advisor and coach. These teams face-off in a fast-paced question-and-answer format, being tested on a range of science disciplines including biology, chemistry, Earth science, physics, energy, and math.
The Department of Energy (DOE) created the National Science Bowl in 1991 to encourage students to excel in mathematics and science and to pursue careers in these fields. Approximately 240,000 students have participated in the National Science Bowl throughout its 24 year history, and it is one of the nation's largest science competitions.
NETL has been hosting regional qualifying competitions since that time. In 1991, 18 regional high school tournaments took place; this year, more than 9,500 high school students competed in 70 regional events across the United States as well as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. NETL facilitates three regional Science Bowls: the West Virginia Regional Science Bowl (WVSB) for high school students and the Southwestern Pennsylvanian Regional Science Bowl (SWPA), which hosts a competition for high school students and middle school students.
NETL's Science Bowls are entirely staffed through volunteer efforts and have grown significantly since they were initiated in the '90s. This year, the WVSB hosted 23 high school teams, and SWPA science bowl hosted 57 high school and 34 middle schools in the February competitions.

Dear Emily,
Ballot Measure 16 on the primary ballot is sponsored by PG&E so they can restrict competitive power agreements by local governments. With a growing class of PG&E customers that have had exceptional increases in their electric and gas consumption created by meter services including smart meters, it is likely a good idea to vote NO on such overt attempts by PG&E to protect exclusives rights to abuse customers.

Since the day an earthquake hit the city of L'Aquila, in central Italy, the area has been shut. No living, social or commercial activity has been permitted within the so-called "red zone", a large area which embraces most of the historical centre.
Outside, army vehicles halt anyone trying to enter. Inside, it is a ghost town inhabited by its own phantoms.
The feeling of a lifeless place is dreadfully intense.
Hundreds of people died in the quake, many thousands had to leave their apartments for good.
This reportage jumps over the barriers and take the reader in the heart of the earthquake.
It walks the streets, enters the halls, visits the homes to take a look into the rooms. Where time froze.
It gives back to the owners the places they have been bereaved. It gives back to the places the life they lack.

Free Book: JBoss in Action
Reviewer RatingsRelevance:
Buy it now
One Minute Bottom Line
|It is very simple to rate this book: everyone who uses JBoss AS should own and read a copy. The book is highly readable and with tons of working examples. The references at the end of each chapter are a real bonus.
ReviewThis book is divided into four parts, containing 15 chapters and two appendices.
Part 1: The JBoss Application Server
If you are using JBoss than you can simply skip Chapter 1(Vote for JBoss). This chapter gets you up and running with JBoss by describing the directories and files that are part of JBoss AS, how to start and stop the server, and finally show how to deploy and undeploy a simple web application.
Chapter 2(Managing the JBoss Application Server) starts with a description of how JBoss application server is architected;the JBoss Microcontainer and JMX. Next, you will learn how each of these components are configured using its own configuration file, and how you can change these as well. Next, we get a closer look at a few of the management tools provided by JBoss like the JMX Console and twiddle. And finally, a look at some MBeans that provide helpful information,the MBeans that give the list of names in the JNDI namespace or a list of system properties.
Chapter 3(Deploying applications) is especially useful if you are encountering tons of deployment errors. This chapter starts with explaining how to deploy applications as well as services. Next, the most important section which you shouldn't miss reading at all; understanding class loading. In this section, the authors start with a description of the class loaders, then go into class scoping, which enables the application server to differentiate among classes. Next in this section, a look at loader repositories which enable several class loaders to share or isolate classes. The next few sections cover common deployment errors like class not found exception, class cast exception and so on. The last section in this chapter is about configuring data sources and Hibernate archives.
If you are concerned about the security of your applications than Chapter 4(Securing applications) shows you everything you need to know about securing your applications. The authors discuss in detail the fundamental concepts behind application security, including authentication, authorization, and encryption and how they are implemented in JBoss AS. They also show you how to configure by demonstrating how you can access security data from a database, LDAP, or other security datastores.
Part 2: Application Services
If you are deploying web applications to JBoss than you must read Chapter 5(Configuring JBoss Web Server). It covers configuring web applications, JBoss web server, the key configuration files. Next, is configuring specific things in web applications like the URL paths, then the authors discussed JBoss Web Server connectors and how they're used to allow client requests to come in over different protocols. In the next section the authors give us an overview of why web applications have different class loading rules and show us how to configure different web-specific class loading parameters. Next comes valves, another feature of JBoss Web Server, and finally the last section is all about configuring JavaServer Faces.
In chapter 4, the authors discussed about the fundamentals of JBoss security and showed you how to configure security domains and login modules. Chapter 6(Securing web applications) explores the configuration files necessary to enable security, how to enable authentication and authorization for URLs relative to your application's context path. And finally see how to enable secure communication for server authentication, mutual authentication, and client-certificate authentication.
If you are a huge fan of EJB's just like I am, than Chapter 7(Configuring enterprise applications) shows you how to structure, deploy, and configure EJB applications. Then, you will learn how to configure the application server, and finally also secure EJB applications.
In Chapter 8(JBoss Messaging), you'll learn about configuring messaging. The chapter begins by describing JMS and how JBoss Messaging is architected. You will see an example of a message-driven EJB and a message-driven POJO. The authors show you how to use a database for message storage, how to define destinations, and how to configure authentication and authorization for those destinations.
If you are quite familiar with web services than you skip the first few sections of Chapter 9(Configuring Web Services) which introduces you to web services, shows you how to develop a simple web service. However, don't skip the next few sections which are quite interesting and cover topics such as JBossWS annotations, securing your web services using authorization and encryption.
Part 3: JBoss Portal
I did evaluate JBoss Portal sometime in 2006. So, I am not an expert in this specific area so I just skimmed over Chapters 10 and 11. These chapters provide a very basic introduction to JBoss Portal. So, I am just going to quote the topics covered in these two chapters:
- Creating a portlet using JSPs and JSTL
- Using the Admin portlet and the descriptor files to define portlet instances and portlet windows
- Using multiple instances within a portal
- Adding content to the CMS
- Configuring window appearance
- Setting up access control for portals, pages, and windows
- Creating a custom portal
Part 4: Going to Production
All the chapters in this section are important and very interesting. These chapters cover everything you will need to know when your application goes to production.
Chapters 12 and 13 are dedicated to clustering. Chapter 12(Understanding Clustering) begins with the fundamentals of clustering; It was interesting to set up a simple cluster as explained in this chapter and learn how to configure JGroups and JBoss Cache. Chapter 13 covers clustering as applied to Java EE specific application components and services like session EJB's and entities, HTTP session replication, and JNDI.
If you need to access and improve the performance of your application, than you need to read Chapter 14(Tunning the JBoss Application Server). In this chapters you will see ways to tune the hardware, operating system, database, JVM, application server, and of course your deployed application. There are also a few tips on how to interpret thread dumps to pinpoint performance issues within your code.
Chapter 15(Going to production) is the last chapter in this book which covers topics such as selecting a platform, running JBoss AS as a service, running multiple JBoss AS instances on the same machine. You will also learn how to remove services which are not required, secure the management applications, change the default data source, database, configuring the EJB3 timer service and precompile JSPs.
Appendix A: JNDI namespaces
In this appendix, the authors explore how JBoss does JNDI binding and how to generically bind your applications in JNDI, making them more portable across application servers.
Appendix B: Change is inevitable
To quote the authors
This appendix contains changes that came after CR2 and before the book went to the printer. Any changes after that will appear on the book's website.

The one thing that makes JBOSS stand out, is that it truly is an entire platform suite. From Jboss Cache to their integration with Drools, they have strived to provide a complete end to end solution for.. well.. everything!
Jboss Seam is easily the most exciting thing to happen in J2EE development in a few years (I love ya Spring! but Seam rocks!)
Thankfully, after 1, 2, 3? years, JBOSS 5 has finally arrived and the platform moves, officially without tweaks, into the realm of J2EE 5.

It will be really hard for JBoss to return to glorius days in competition with excellent Glassfish, promising SpringSource server offerings.
I hope to give JBoss another chance as i continue to learn Seam framework

I am preparing for EJB 3.0 certification and started using JBoss. I was surprised with the start up speed, its really fast. I'v used JBoss in my last job which was in 2005-2006 at that time it was slow. Now its almost the same as Web containers. Good job JBoss guys... Manning books are always good books...cant wait to read the book...
Frederic Chopard replied on Wed, 2009/01/14 - 10:39am
I worked a lot with JBoss for two years between 2001 and 2003, it was release 3 if I remember correctly. At that time I had to fight with numerous xml configuration files and looking for a good and well-written documentation which I didn't found.
I had to restart working with JBoss 4.2.2 about 2 months ago and I'm still editing a lot of xml files and looking for some good documentation about it... So I hope that JBoss 5, which I would probably test in the next months, has simplified its deployment and configuration steps. If this book provides some good documentation on how configure JBoss, especially on security and clustering, I will probably buy a paper copy.

I've not used JBoss since the days of 3.x .
At that time EJBs were quite difficult to graps ( for me ) and not a value proposition. We actually moved away from the heavyweight side of JavaEE ( 1.4 ) .
I'm curious ab out they way JBoss 5 integrates the different frameworks - Seam/Hibernate/Faces.

We've been delivering application solutions on JBoss for 5 years now.
The JBoss technology stack is superb, with components like JBoss Rules that are unparalleled and have tremendous community momentum.
JBoss Seam is by a longshot the _only_ way developers should be building Java web apps (well, we'll see what happens with the Web Beans spec coming).
Patrick Jusseau replied on Wed, 2009/01/14 - 11:01am
I have used JBoss since version 3.2.x and recently moved to 4.2 in order to use EJB3.0 . I do rich client (Swing) development. I find JBoss very powerfull but I wished there were some nice UI tools. I took a look at JBoss remoting but find it quite hard to use. I wish there was an easy to set up layer that would allow my client side to communicate to the JBoss serveur transparently (RMI / WebServices...). Maybe there is one but I am not aware of.

That's from the David Mamet play/screenplay Glengarry Glen Ross. With a little modification, I think that philosophy is very useful for writers.* I recently had a novel sunmission bounced from EDGE Science Fiction, and I spent about 12 hours sulking about it. "Your work isn't right for us at this time" is a rather anodyne statement issued by the industry, and while I appreciate the attempt not to discourage new writers, it is impossible not to see the words "your writing stinks" hidden behind the vanilla rejection sentence. Hence the sulking.
However, the difference between the successful writer and the unsuccessful one is persistence, so it's time to look for new markets and get back to work. I am shopping Vale of Stars to another market while also writing Belt, and taking a little time off to post here.
I'm wondering how the rest of you deal with rejections.
If you're interested in more, you can go to my website at http://www.the3rdfoundation.com and read more.
*I realize that in the play the phrase really isn't about an optimistic, can-do sort of attitude but rather signifies the crushing pressure of the salesman's life, but bear with me here.

Friendly message at possible CSRF attack
15 January 2011 at 4:38am
A client of one of my clients reported a "Security token doesn't match, possible CSRF attack." message when trying to submit a user generated form. As there is nothing wrong with the form, I suspect that their session timed out and hence they received the error.
I've now added Form::disable_all_security_tokens(); in the _config.php which means that the timeout should no longer occur. However, I'm wondering what potential security holes this leaves open?
Would it be possible to replace the message "Security token doesn't match, possible CSRF attack." with something friendlier? Ideally a message saying 'Your session times out, click here to go back to your form and submit again'. With a link that takes the user back to the completely filled out form. All they then have to do is re-submit and everyone is happy.

I also get the same error. I'm not sending it from the contact-template, but from a (self-made) contactform on another page. Is it possible to send it from there, or could I only send this from the form-specific Layout?
Re: Friendly message at possible CSRF attack
29 April 2011 at 12:57pm
Hello, I'm having this problem too. I don't really understand what a CSRF attack is but I guess I don't want to open my site to one! I have a custom form which is quite long so it causes users a fair amount of stress when it doesn't submit properly, I guess because their session timed out?
How unsafe is it to disable security tokens for forms?
Is there a different solution, like could I increase how long a security token / session lasts for somehow? I thought a session was supposed to last until a browser was closed so I don't really understand how this problem is happening. Does putting your computer to sleep or something like that also expire a session?

It seems if cookies aren't enabled in a visitor's browser this error will happen as well - so it's possible that could be the cause of my problems. I've tried to detect cookie support and show or hide the form based on that in case that's the cause (code below).
** I'd still like to know if a form expires after a certain amount of time - does anyone know the answer to that? **
public function CookiesUncertain() {
return (!Cookie::get('PHPSESSID'));
<% if CookiesUncertain %>

We couldn't determine if cookies are enabled in your browser - please reload this page so we can confirm. If the message disappears all is well! If you can still see this message then you will either need to enable cookies in your browser or switch to a different browser before you can fill out this form.

<% else %>
<% end_if %>
p.s. haha went to submit this reply and what do you know - got the message 'Security token doesn't match, possible CSRF attack.' Think Marijn's solution sounds ideal, any chance of seeing this happen?

I'm still having reports of users repeatedly getting the "Security token doesn't match, possible CSRF attack." message. Since I've put in a measure to make sure cookies are enabled I can't understand why this is happening or how to fix it.
Does anyone know what exactly can trigger the "Security token doesn't match, possible CSRF attack" error and how to avoid this? Please?

You can pretty safely disable the security tokens for most forms. We have disabled it for search forms and some other low critical contact forms which have captchas etc. If you are dealing with users who aren't logged in, there isn't much that can happen but not fully aware of all the crazy methods the kids use these days.

Blackfoot High School's [BHS] - seven-time state champions - We The People competitive government team was honored and presented with a $500 check from the City of Blackfoot at Thursday's school board meeting.
BHS government teacher Holly Kartchner has led the students to victory the past seven years and the team is now preparing to travel to Washington D.C. for the national competition where they will answer intense questions about government and the U.S. Constitution.
Blackfoot police chief Kurt Asmus recently discussed potential upgrades to crosswalks in response to the concerns expressed in a letter to the editor by Madison Thompson.
"There have been a couple of accidents in crosswalks within the last six months," said Asmus.
City officials have been working with the Blackfoot School District to improve the lighting in the area of the Blackfoot High School crosswalk, the chief said.
Voters passed the supplemental levies for school districts in Bingham County on Tuesday.
Aberdeen School District voters approved a two-year supplemental levy for $675,000. The unofficial election results were 107 for; 67 against. The percentage of people voting in favor of this supplemental is 61.494 percent. Â
The breakdown by precinct was:
• Aberdeen 15—63 votes for the levy; 27 against. The total number of voters in the precinct was 90.
• Springfield/Sterling 16—38 for; 27 against. The total number of voters in the precinct was 65.
With just a little over two weeks to prepare, Blackfoot High School graduate and Boise State University student Megan Moore was crowned Miss Treasure Valley in Boise Saturday night. She will use her new role to expand on her platform of "the importance of organ donations," an issue that is "near and dear" to her heart.
Megan said she wasn't planning to compete in the pageant; but while interviewing for a job at Margene's Bridal in Boise a couple of weeks ago, the business owner looked at her resume and encouraged her to try out.
BLACKFOOT — Dustin Powell started working at his father Jim's auto body shop "Powell's Body Shop" on Grant Street in Blackfoot back in the 1970's when he was just 10 years old. He has never left the family business, and has gone on to grow it into one of the largest facility's of its kind in the state.
Dustin, whose passion for the business is evident to this day, said, "I learned this business from the ground up. I was working as a full-time painter when I was a senior in high school. I remember missing school a lot."
BLACKFOOT — Idaho Governor Butch Otter has appointed former Blackfoot Police Chief David Moore to serve on the Idaho Pardons and Parole Commission for the next three years. He was sworn in at the Capital Building in Boise on Thursday. He had to testify in the Senate Judiciary and Rules Committee upon his confirmation.
Moore's daughter Megan, who attends Boise State University, was there for the swearing-in ceremony.
She said, "I am so proud of my dad to be asked to be on the parole commission.' It is a huge honor and I am glad I was there to support him."
BLACKFOOT—The Bingham County Historical Society (BCHS) observed March as "Women's Month" by honoring three women who have played various key roles in the history of the area on Wednesday night at the Senior Center.
Lois Bates, Jean Esplin and Billie Cullimore were each given a peach rose and a plaque for their contributions to Bingham County.
BLACKFOOT — Stoddard Elementary students gave Blackfoot native Josh Hill an enthusiastic welcome to their school on Tuesday.
Hill is No. 89 with the New Orleans Saints. He attended Stoddard Elementary, Blackfoot Sixth Grade Center and Mountain View Middle School before graduating from Blackfoot High School.
Asked what they liked about Hill, Stoddard fifth graders said:
"He's a professional!" exclaimed Kyler Mills.
"He proves anyone from anywhere can succeed," said Demry Wixom.
After nearly one year of trying, members of Blackfoot's Independence High School student health council, along with Tracy Lambson from Southeastern Idaho Public Health, were successful in influencing the Blackfoot City Council to start enforcing a ,smoke free, park ordinance that is already on the books.
At Tuesday night's city council meeting, the council unanimously agreed to to begin enforcing the no smoking areas in the city's parks.
The council seemed to be in agreement that there "should be some areas in the park where people can smoke."
BLACKOOT—Anyone suffering from the late winter doldrums in Southeastern Idaho is bound to perk up by attending the Intermountain Jazz Festival, Saturday at the Blackfoot Performing Arts Center.
The award-winning jazz ensemble- BYU Synthesis- will headline the event with an evening performance at 7:30 p.m., Nine area high school (and middle school) jazz bands will perform throughout the day. Approximately 200 students and their families come for the annual event, equating to over 400 additional people, giving the town an economic boost on Saturday.

I guess my body chemistry isn't compatible with all Thierry Mugler's fragrances (I have 'Angel Rose', 'Angel Lily', 'Angel Peony' and 'Angel Violet') and I have the same problem with them all - the middle notes smells like sweat on my skin, but I really love the drydown, so when I use these perfumes I apply them a couple hours before I need to go out. Owerall - it is sweet, strong and long lasting perfume for special occasions.

The only one of the Angels, with whom I could start a friendship. Spring is very beautiful smells like pepper rose, shrouded in mist patchouli, bergamot. The aroma is melancholic, romantic nature, but it is very subjectively)) But for me, in that only the cool spring along the embankments in dresses walking)

Broad support for three-parent baby technique
A public consultation has shown broad support for controversial research being carried out at Newcastle University.
The DNA technique uses three people to create one baby in order to prevent genetic diseases being passed through generations.
The findings will now be passed to the government. If approved it could be law within five years. Opponents say it's unethical.

Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III are not disappointing in the battle of blue chip rookie quarterbacks. Both players have shown flashes of why the Colts and Redskins, respectively, made them the first two players picked in the draft. Luck threw the game's first touchdown pass, a beauty to T.Y. Hilton.
The pass itself is a perfect reminder of why Luck was so coveted coming into the NFL. It is literally a perfect throw, with just the right touch on it and perfectly placed for his receiver to grab. Equally impressive is Luck's work under pressure. Notice him step up to make the throw and avoid an oncoming pass rusher? Veteran move.
Luck is 9-for-14 with 105 yards and a touchdown. His offensive line is going to cause some problems for him this season. As you can see here, Luck is that rare quarterback who makes his offensive line better than it really is.
Fans in Indianapolis are really fortunate to have Luck to replace Peyton Manning.

DeAngelo Williams is at least two years removed from being a budding star, but the Carolina Panthers running back is showing again that he's not quite washed up. The 28-year-old just broke off a 74-yard touchdown run against the Atlanta Falcons, giving the Panthers a 16-7 lead on Sunday.
It was Williams third touchdown in as many weeks, after he scored two touchdowns two weeks ago. On this one, it was pretty simple. Williams took a handoff, followed his blockers and then turned on the speed. He was barely touched as he worked his way down the sidelines.

Jets tight end Dustin Keller left the game during New York's first drive against the Carolina Panthers with what looked like a hamstring injury. Keller hauled in a 24-yard catch from Mark Sanchez but looked like he pulled up just before he was tackled. He is on the sidelines and getting looked at by the Jets' doctors and will not return to the game.
Keller played in all 16 games for the Jets last season and caught a career-high 65 passes for 815 yards with five touchdowns. He has 213 receptions in his career for 2,559 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Here is a look at the play where Keller was injured.

Bluespring's Suite 4.5 whets appetite for BPM
Innovative Microsoft-centric suite wades into shallow waters of business process management
Optimizing document-centric processes can be a profitable, if tricky, cost-cutting endeavor. It takes a particularly rare breed of BPM suite to simultaneously integrate your applications, your employees' work habits, and the multitude of documents and customers your organization juggles.
Bluespring Software is one company considering all of this and factoring in the significance of Microsoft applications vis-à-vis midtier corporate workflows.
Recently released Bluespring BPM Suite 4.5 sports a process development IDE, Web portal, and .Net services-based process engine that takes advantage of the new Microsoft Office Open XML document format. In addition to performing dynamic Word and Excel document generation, the system can monitor and extract data from within docs to guide enterprise workflow and power external business apps.
Click for larger view.
Furthermore, with this release Bluespring now extends the reach and capability of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, supplying process triggers and object updates as well as real-time monitoring for the platform. Bluespring easily corrals other Microsoft favorites, including Active Directory, InfoPath, Live Meeting, and CRM 3.0. Another new addition I like is support for Adobe PDF forms.
If yours is not a Microsoft shop, Bluespring's strengths may be overshadowed by the fact that its entire platform demands MS-branded servers, databases, and IE for its Web portal (although Firefox 2 worked fine).
My biggest disappointment was found in its debugging feature set. Unlike Lombardi TeamWorks, Bluespring offers no design-time simulation, impact analysis, or closed-loop feedback features. As a result, iterative process optimization, the ultimate ambition of BPM, becomes a less-than-intuitive endeavor.
There's also limited compatibility with real-world execution and modeling standards such as BPEL/XPDL (Business Process Execution Language/XML Processing Description Language), or the BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) support found in Appian Enterprise. I suppose this is less of an issue if you plan never to do business with anyone off an MS platform.
Although the visual process design tools are good, they have yet to evolve to more collaborative ideals that can help collapse the design cycle and encourage team input, such as those seen shaping up in Lombardi Blueprint.

Student Achievement and Attainment
Student Success--the heart of Shaping Alaska's Future
Enrollment has grown 4 percent over the last five years, despite a decline in high school-aged demographics. Today more than 33,000 full- and part-time students are enrolled in UA universities and community campuses. In 2012, UA launched its Stay on TRACK awareness campaign, designed to inform full-time students how to graduate in four years, thus reducing costs for themselves and providing the workforce Alaska employers need.
Staff and faculty play important roles in student success. Reducing institutional red-tape, improving the credit transfer process between UA universities and providing comprehensive advising are just a few of the new initiatives created from Shaping Alaska's Future.
Issue and Effect Statements
The Issue statements below address compelling concerns raised by Alaskans through more than 80 listening sessions. The Effect statements associated with each Issue statement express what UA intends to achieve as a high-performing education institution.
ISSUE A: Like other non-selective and open-admission institutions, UA's graduation rates are lower than those of selective peer institutions. UA students on average take longer to complete degrees than students at peer institutions.
Effect:ĀFull-time baccalaureate degree-seeking students graduate in four to five years at rates competitive with those at our established peer institutions. Full-time associate degree-seeking students graduate in two to three years at rates similar to those at peer institutions. Part-time students complete their degrees in proportionate time frames. The three universities will ensure that academic standards are rigorously maintained.
ISSUE B: Like those of many large and complex institutions, UA processes and procedures can be challenging for students to navigate.
Effect:ĀStudents experience UA as accessible, efficient and transparent in all areas.
ISSUE C: UA students must demonstrate skills and knowledge in their particular majors. In all aspects of their UA educational experience, students also must develop critical thinking skills, good judgment, high ethical standards and an understanding of diversity to be responsible citizens and leaders.
Effect:ĀStudents take responsibility for meeting their educational objectives, and both students and graduates demonstrate personal, community and civic responsibility, high ethical standards and respect for others.
ISSUE D: UA needs to increase national and international recognition of its quality education, programs of distinction and exceptional research in order to enhance recruitment of undergraduate and graduate students and faculty.
Effect:ĀUA's reputation for academic quality, programs of distinction and research makes it an attractive, highly competitive choice for undergraduate and graduate students and faculty.
ISSUE E: UA recruitment, retention and graduation rates are low,ĀespeciallyĀfor disadvantaged and minority populations and for Alaska Natives.
Effect: UA graduates reflect the diversity of Alaska.
ISSUE F: Alaska has serious unmet needs for advanced degree graduates, and UA has opportunities to meet those needs both internally and through partnerships with other institutions.
Effect:ĀAlaskans have more opportunities to earn advanced degrees and more advanced degrees are earned at UA, especially those that fulfill Alaska's specific needs.

President Obama's New Budget
President Obama has unveiled his new budget for 2013 and demonstrated his commitment to ending violence against women by proposing $599 million for programs and solutions related to the issue. If Congress were to follow this budget proposal, they would authorize $6.5 million more than last year's funding.
"In this extremely tough fiscal climate, this new budget reflects an awareness of the great need for victims and the advocates that seek to help them" said Esta Soler, Founder and President of Futures Without Violence.
As a highlight, the budget would increase funding for the Family Violence Prevention Services Act program, which directly helps fund battered women's shelters, by $5 million. This increase would allow funding to continue to target services for children affected by domestic violence, so they can heal and thrive.
The new budget does propose to cut the funding for the National Resource Center on Workplace Response in half, which would hinder outreach efforts to employers and unions interested in preventing violence against women in the workplace. A goal in this fiscal year is to increase the dollars back to last year's level for this project and the other programs that help victims of domestic and sexual violence.
Continuing as a co-chair of the national coalition, Futures Without Violence is advocating for maintaining mostly level funding for all VAWA and FVPSA programs and VOCA in the FY 2013 budget.

Puerto Rico, "the shining star of the Caribbean," is glowing quite a bit more brightly these days. One of its landmarks, the Capitol Building in San Juan, enjoys a beautiful windswept perch overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, and is a beacon for travelers arriving in the commonwealth via airplane or cruise ship. Since December, it has blazed with vivid new illumination, provided by a local firm, Switch Lighting Performance.
Previously, the white marble edifice, which was built in the 1920s, was lit by 1,000W fixtures with color gels. "But the gels burnt out quickly, and the Capitol supervisors were always coming here to buy more," says Willie Cortes, Switch Lighting's director of sales and marketing. The firm suggested that the Capitol switch its lighting to automated fixtures, and a demonstration with High End Systems' EC-1(TM) luminaires was arranged for Capitol architect Pablo Quinones and engineer/contractor Jose Kercado, who had been planning to upgrade the existing conventionals.
"We arranged a demo on one wall, and they were astonished," Cortes says. "The wall just filled up with color." Quinones and Kercado reported their findings to the appropriate officials, and shepherded the instruments through a government-mandated bid process. Cortes says the EC-1, which is in many ways a weatherized version of the High End Studio Color(R), made a strong case for itself.
"The EC-1 had twice as much light output and consumed about half the power of what they had been using, it had the beam-shaping capabilities we needed, and we could get it in a custom color to match the white marble, among other advantages," Cortes says. "Plus, it would be the first architectural project in the entire Caribbean lit permanently in this way, which was also appealing." Most important, he says, was the instrument's ability to withstand the shoreline climate--"you can see the salt in the sea breezes, and the EC-1 is rated IP-66, the highest grade for a waterproof architectural luminaire. It also has a superior anti-corrosion finish."
Once the bid was accepted, the design process began last October, for a December 1 debut that attracted a crowd of 1,000 and live TV coverage. The north side of the building was the first to receive illumination. Brad Schiller and Mitch Peebles flew in from High End headquarters in Austin, TX, to take photometric measurements and lay the groundwork for what is the biggest EC-1 installation to date.
Schiller, of High End's sales support services team, performed a site survey on MiniCAD and also used a rendering program called Light, from Lightscape Technology. The photometric properties of the EC-1 were part of this mix, which resulted in an accurate blueprint of what the lighting would look like. "This was the first time we had tried this sort of modeling in Puerto Rico, and it matched the final lighting perfectly," Cortes says.
Two shows were devised. Cortes designed, and Schiller programmed, a 15-minute-long Christmas season event that incorporated 40 festive, custom-designed gobos from Rosco, used with eight Cyberlights(R) mounted in High End Ecodomes(TM). This temporary spectacle has since been replaced by the 17-minute EC-1 show, which involves 72 of the instruments. "The main architectural show is a mix of slow and fast chases, solid color fading, and breakups," says Schiller, who designed it. "Several colors are incorporated, but maroon and dark green were particularly important, as these are the colors of the Puerto Rico Senate and House of Representatives, which occupy different wings in the Capitol."
The shows are all the more impressive in that they were installed just one week before December 1. Contractors and electricians worked 18-hour days to get the instruments up and running, not altogether an unpleasant task given the scenic locale, Schiller says. Henry Sandoval was the lighting crew leader; Stephen Betancourt, Hector "Jefesito" Calderon, Reymundo Calderon, Rafael Casanova, Roberto Cruz, and Omar Torres were the technical crew.
Schiller programmed the EC-1s on the High End Status Cue(R) lighting console, and left behind his own invention for High End, ACE(TM), to facilitate system control. ACE, or Architectural Control Environment, is a front for the Status Cue that lets non-lighting personnel change settings without having to enter the software. "With ACE, they can 'lock' the building into a specific look, run a show, or turn fixtures off and on," Schiller says.
The Capitol Building's illumination has been a hit, stopping traffic in the evening hours. The government has approved further lighting for the site, beginning with its south side, which was scheduled to be lit up by mid-February with another 36 EC-1s. "The south side cuts down sharply to some steep stairs; ground level there is about 60' (18m) below the north side, so we've had to mount the EC-1s on poles for even illumination on both sides," Schiller says. Statuary across the street from the Capitol is also being lit by the pole-mounted units, as Switch Lighting and High End continue to showcase Puerto Rico in a whole new light.
