|Challenge Name
|Inverse Halloween
|Challenge Type
|Personal Challenge
|Multiple Crossings > General > Theme: Halloween
|It have been touched upon before, but I still think it's an idea worthwhile pursuing.
What if, when the Sunnydale citizens costumes take over, it's not really a possession, but a mind swap?
Where any "powers" follows the owner so to speak.
And what happens in this case, when the costume is an amalgam, or completely made up?
Basically, by now we all more or less know what happened for all our characters in Sunnydale. But what about the other side of the coin?
I'm not sure that any powers or abilities obtained during the event should linger, but I'd say some fragments or faint memories of the possession should perhaps remain for a while.
Instead of following the hijinx in Sunnydale, we follow the kids into whatever universe their character came from. The character does not know what is actually happening in Sunnydale until they are returned to their own bodies.
The scoobies dress as a theme. Well, if they don't they will be alone wherever their minds go during the swap.
* What happens of the original body have been killed while possessed, or left in an unhealthy position at teh end of the possession (Example: Flying high above Sunnydale).
* What happens if the costume is an amalgam of different characters, or completely fictional (though I do think that last bit is rare, Halloweeners get inspiration form somewhere. (Example: Xander Heterodyne from "A spark of Genius").
* What happens if the costume belongs to a "real" person in the BtVS universe, original or crossed over? (Example: Xander and Buffy are coaxed into dressing as the President and the first lady...).
This challenge may hold some resemblance to JRabbit's "Challenge 3958: Challenge: The other side of Hallowe'en"
But 1. I didn't see it till after writing this one, 2. I'd like to think mine is different enough to warrant its existence anyway.

Acrylic acid-Acrylate esters
Acrylic acid-Acrylate esters Prices, markets & analysis
For those looking to keep abreast of the global Acrylic acid-Acrylate esters market, our independent, unbiased pricing information, news and market analysis is an invaluable resource.
Whether you buy or sell Acrylic acid-Acrylate esters or related products, you need to know about the prices and the factors driving the prices in the global Acrylic acid-Acrylate esters market as they happen.
Acrylic Acid Acrylate Esters Transcript
Acrylic acid and esters are highly reactive and versatile chemicals that have wide-spread uses. Major markets for the esters include surface coatings, textiles, adhesives and plastics.
Polyacrylic acid or copolymers find applications in super-absorbents, detergents, dispersants and thickeners. Super-absorbent polymers (SAPs) are mainly used in disposable nappies. SAPs and detergent polymers have emerged as the fastest growing end-use accounting for nearly 40% of world glacial acrylic acid consumption.
Pricing for acrylates is generally influenced by movements in propylene, oxo-alcohols, methanol and ethanol, which of course are raw materials, as well as sentiment in the downstream segments.
Supply of acrylates is generally tight in Asia due to the fast growing needs of the downstream segments in key markets such as China, Southeast Asia and India.

Market overview
Acrylic acid-Acrylate esters: Market overview
Updated to Q4 2014
The US acrylic acid and acrylate esters market is expected to weaken in the fourth quarter because of seasonally slower demand from the downstream coatings sector. However, feedstock chemical-grade propylene (CGP) supply had begun to tighten at the outset of the period, because of refinery and cracker outages, and is likely to pressure acrylates pricing higher during the period. Trucking constraints are also likely to continue to create distribution challenges.
Initial reaction in the European acrylate esters market to the rollover in feedstock propylene price for October is that prices will show smaller decreases than in September. The upstream rollover as well as a weaker euro versus the dollar are being cited as reasons for a slowdown in price falls. The global market is oversupplied, while demand is steady, following a seasonal pick-up in September. There is talk that demand might stay flat until late November or December.
In Asia, demand and supply are expected to remain balanced in the fourth quarter, because of an expected flat downstream demand. Chinese manufacturers will continue to look for opportunities in the export markets, as domestic demand remains tepid.

Acrylic Acid/Acrylate Esters Methodology
About Acrylic acid-Acrylate esters
Acrylate esters are colourless liquids with acrid odours, and are traded as technical grade (99% purity). Methyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate are toxic enough to require a hazardous shipping label, while butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2EHA) are considered safe.
Acrylate esters are used in the manufacture of surface coatings/paints and resins, adhesives and plastics, dispersions and in some cases paper.
They are readily polymerised if exposed in water, to form a latex (a dispersion of solid particles in water) such as latex paints.
An associated product is methyl methacrylate. Acrylate esters are made from the reaction of an alcohol to an acid such as acrylic acid. This process is called esterification.

Not often I find a rival for the Mountain Sun in Boulder but after visiting The Alcamist once or twice a year, i now declare that The Mountain Sun has a worthiy match.
the Alchemist , in Waterbury, Vermont One of those places that you remember, not just for it's Holy Cow iPA - IBU 85 but also for the double IPA - Heretic - 99IBU and of courser its Heady Topper -(IBU's - plenty) but who's counting? Of course they had other beers but i don't care, OK you might so it's worth mentioning that the Harvest Ale comes in at 35 IBU's and the Porter IBU's are only 26 IBU but its full of flavour and I'm calling it Wobbly Harriet". It seemed to sink so smoothly and deliriously down her throaght. - they call it Pappys Porter and my sip indicated a a smoothie with deep chocalate tones, but I was going to drive - you know that is? Room for one more. The Friday cask offering, looked like a wheat beer, tasted adequately hopped and only had 4.5% by vol. So I had two - as one does. I can't try them all so let's consider food. The tomato soup does for soup what double IPA does for pale ale. Chunks of uncircumcised tomato float in a creamy tomato and basil support system. This could be described as Tomato Stew.. If you like heavy IBU's in beer, then this ones for you, not to mention the chicken pate and the pizza. At least SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) didn't share my pate. My only swear word thar effects her is "liver." Mussels in a sausage sauce - who would have thunk it? This is not pub grub. My sausage in sauercrout was just too much so finish with maple pie. SWMBO dove into that one! Warning, this place fills and you have to drink whilst waiting for a table. Oh dear!
A fuller report will follow but in the meantime - those three IPA's - oh now I know there is a beer heaven - and the porter is superb - this place - keep it a secret - only just room for you and me and the friends you make there. I'm going again tonight - which is not soon enough.
The food was similarly excellent. Between us we had red beans/rice with andouille sausage, three cheese pizza, a cheese plate w/ toasted baquette slices, three different types of Vermont cheese and figs, and salad. All were done exceptionally well, with the red beans/rice and andouille a standout.
And lastly, the atmosphere was great. It is a perfect mix of pub and restaurant, being just boisterous enough for fun but not to excess.
This is a must stop on a pubcrawl through New England.
Secondly: It WILL be crowded, but the staff is very friendly. Much friendlier than I'd be if I was as busy as they are, and I'm a friendly guy.
Thirdly: Don't go for the food. It's pretty mediocre and not worth the wait for a table, really. Ordered an item that was supposed to contain Roma tomatoes and was unhappy to find regular old sandwich tomatoes. The sweet potato fries are not bad, but that's an easy one.
We all tried different beers and compared notes and all I saw was raised eyebrows. I remember one beer was 140 IBU's (!), but other than that I lost track of what we drank (it was a long day and no I wasn't driving). It doesn't matter - they were all good.
Two minor complaints. The Sox were playing but they had no TV's (a rare complaint as I rarely watch TV). That and get rid of the pool table. No need to get into why.
Situated on Main Street in the bucolic town of Waterbury (1,706), the Alchemist Pub & Brewery is where much of the populace seems to spend their evening so prepare to wait for seating. In any case, the crowd was a diverse one, all ages (the young and the old) and backgrounds (from the well to do to the neer-do-well) being represented. Located in what was once the town post office, the Alchemist is not a large and rambling establishment; upon entry, to the right is a crowded bar area; to the left, and separated by a dividing wall of hightop tables, is the dining area. Toward the back, where we waited during our 45-minute wait to be seated, is a pool table (which should really be replaced with additional seating so more people can actually eat and drink).
Now lets hear about the beer. The Alchemist Pub is a 7-Barrel facility that, despite its capacity offered a wide selection of housecrafts on tap, including several guests a total of 10-12 taps. During this visit, I enjoyed: Rapture American Double IPA (77 IBU), Holy Cow IPA (85 IBU) and Pappys Porter (4.6 ABV).
As you can see, their brewer is definitely fond of hops; this makes for a great place for the hophead. Even the without the beer, the food alone would have made this a worthy trip. In any case, no Vermont pubcrawl, at least no definitive one, should exclude a stop in Waterbury for a few quaffs at the Alchemist, a great place with excellent food, friendly atmosphere and efficient service oh, and craft beer is to die for.

XOXO, I "Heart" Hershey's Kisses!
Hershey's Kisses have always been the go-to treat for satisfying a chocolate craving. Even for my 2-year-old son (who cutely calls them "Specials" because they are, well, special treats for him) defaults to Hershey Kisses when he wants a piece of chocolate.
I've always loved making Peanut Butter Blossoms withHershey Kisses during the holidays and was wondering today what other yummy recipes are out there that showcase kisses? I surfed on over to Hershey's own website and was delighted to find a ridiculously delicious assortment of new recipes to try. Here are the two that I'm tackling first.
Do these look good or what?!
- Small Pretzels
- Mini Marshmallows
- Hershey's Kisses
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Place one pretzel for each pretzel s'more desired on prepared sheet. Top each pretzel with 3 marshmallows and another pretzel.
- Bake 4 to 5 minutes or until marshmallows soften and begin to puff. Remove from oven and gently press chocolate on each top pretzel. Allow treats to sit several minutes in order for chocolate pieces to melt enough to adhere to pretzels and to soften slightly. Treats are best if eaten while chocolate piece is still soft.
Easy Kisses Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 52 to 55 HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Milk Chocolates
- 1 pouch (17.5 oz.) BETTY CROCKER Sugar Cookie Mix
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1 egg
- 1-1/4 cups HERSHEY'S Mini Chips Semi-Sweet Chocolate, divided
- 1 teaspoon shortening (do not use butter, margarine, spread or oil)
- Heat oven to 350°F. Remove wrappers from chocolates.
- Stir together cookie mix and flour; add butter and egg. Stir until dough forms. Set aside 1/4 cup small chocolate chips. Stir remaining chips into dough. (Dough is stiff; chips may need to be worked in with hands.)
- Mold scant tablespoon dough around each chocolate piece, covering completely. Shape into balls; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until cookie is set. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
- Place remaining 1/4 cup chips and shortening in heavy-duty resealable plastic food storage bag. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 30 seconds; stir. If necessary, microwave at MEDIUM an additional 10 seconds at a time, kneading after each heating, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Cut off corner of bag about 1/8 inch from point. Drizzle over cookies. About 52 cookies.

Context: Non-dualism suggests a new way of utilizing language without the assumption of categorically extralinguistic objects denoted by language. Problem: What is the innovative potential, what is the special value of non-dualism for science? Is non-dualism a fruitful conceptual revision or just a philosophical thought experiment with no or little significance for science? Method: We provide a concise introduction to non-dualism's central new proposals and an overview of the papers. Results: Fourteen contributors show how this way of thinking and speaking can be operationalized creatively, but also address some of its boundaries. Implications: Since not all of the aspects and problems highlighted for discussion in the original Call for Papers were answered satisfactorily, further research is necessary. For example, research is needed on the relationship between dualism's distinction between object language and metalanguage on the one hand and non-dualism's distinction between descriptions so far and descriptions from now on on the other; or on the infinite regress allegations by non-dualism against dualism. Constructivist content: Some authors show that non-dualist thinking is anti-essentialist, in a similar way as constructivist thinking. Some also show that comparable questions arise; for example, the question of whether non-dualism denies the material world (containing extralinguistic objects).

1997 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 4 Dr S500 Sedan Review
The Mercedes S class is the pinnacle of luxury cars, it's the car you look at to find out what you may expect in ten years from lesser cars. The W140 is on the list because it's a car that is unique in the way it drives, rides and handles. Upon first inspection of the car you realize it's enormous, and you'd be right as it's the largest S Class Merc has ever made. It was designed to take on Rolls Royce at the time and needed to be large enough to fit the wealthy owner comfortably in the back. The second thing you may notice is it's not exactly good looking but it does have quite a presence.
Largest Mercedes Benz S Class Ever Built — While it's not the cheapest car it does redeem itself in many regards, the main one is the drive. W140s drive extremely well, they have a planted feel which I've never experienced in anything else, yet they also soak up bumps while travelling on less than stellar roads.,The handling of the car is a bit surprising because you don't expect such a large car to go around corners very well yet this car somehow does, and it does so without getting upset or losing composure. The engine is smooth, well balanced and will pull strong from just 1000 RPM, a trait I love about Mercedes. The car even starts off in second gear when being driven normally to ensure the start from a stoplight is as smooth as can be, and will only drop into first when really prodded. It's a vehicle that likes to chug along at about 1300 RPM and will shift below 2000 making it almost silent. The brakes are very smooth and powerful despite being burdened with the weight of this beast. It's a car I feel that was built to be the best it could be, corners weren't cut in the name of cost savings and it shows when driving one, every control is silky smooth and operates beautifully, frankly I can't understand why you would buy this car only to sit in the back.

Quiet smooth
Luxury — Smooooth, quiet, powerful, fast, loaded, fun to dirive. Can drive this baby all day and not get tired. Awesome sound system and beautiful leather interior. Double paned glass, self closing doors and the seat belts get handed to you. Bright xenon lights.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

1997 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 4 Dr S320 SWB Sedan Review
Heavy autobahn cruiser, planted to the road. One of the "behemoths", they don't build them like that anymore.
It's fifteen years old.
Nostagy — Looks like a $75000 car it was, very comfortable. The cabin is quiet at any speed, great visibility. Very maintenance friendly, reliable. Gas mileage is moderate at 15 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Still plenty of parts available at decent prices. It moves pretty well for its six cylinder, good braking and road holding even in bad weather. Feels safe inside as in the safe.

1997 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 4 Dr S600 Sedan Review
This is a great second car. It has many features, rear screen, heated mirrors, heated seats, memory seats, and still has very little wear. It is a 12 cylinder which means you have power when you need it. No bogging down on hills or mountains.
It has a few miles on it.
Lots Of Luxury And A Good Buy For The Money — This is a great second or third car for the money. Even though it has a lot of miles, it still rides well, looks great, and has many luxury features. New Goodyear tires. Price is negotiable to a serious buyer.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

It's still a smooth riding car at its age
It uses only premium gas
Its Not The Best 6 Cylinder On Gas — This car hesitate to move when you are passing on a 2 lane road. Once it kick in, then its ok but there is a delay before it kicks. The driver door is off-line. It has been open to wide. The drivers outside mirrow has a broken piece that will not let the mirrow extend all the way out. It has a few rust spots. I bought the car thinking I can make all the repairs, but its expensive.

As Ohio's 53rd Secretary of State, Jon Husted is responsible for oversight of elections in one of the nation's most hotly-contested swing states. By his steady hand, Ohio delivered a smooth and fair 2012 Presidential Election with record absentee voting turnout. This was thanks in part to his decision to send the first ever statewide absentee ballot application mailing to all Ohio voters, thereby reducing the chance of long lines at the polls on Election Day.
From using technology to streamline the voting process to cleaning up Ohio's voter rolls, and making it easier for military families to vote no matter where their service takes them, Jon is always looking to improve how we run elections in Ohio – and it's getting noticed nationally. In 2013, the Washington Post's blog "The Fix" named him one of their "Top 10 Rising Stars" in America. For his outreach to military families, Jon was recently recognized by the Association of the United States Army and Ohio was deemed an All-Star State by the Military Voter Protection Project. Under his watch, Ohio also received high marks for elections preparedness by voter advocacy groups, including Common Cause, the Verified Vote Foundation and Rutgers University Law School. In addition, Jon has served on the Executive Board of the National Association of Secretaries of State and Vice President for its Midwestern Region.
In addition to serving as chief elections official, the Secretary of State is also the custodian of business filings in Ohio. Secretary Husted is committed to ensuring that Ohio's job creators have a positive first interaction with the state of Ohio. He reminds his team that government should be in the business of good customer service and should work every day to eliminate bureaucratic delays that cost businesses time and money.

Jon Husted was first elected to public office in 2000 as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives. Only four years later, Jon's colleagues elected him Speaker of the Ohio House, making him one of the youngest ever to lead the body.
As Speaker, Jon was instrumental in passing the most fiscally-conservative budget in 40 years that included the reform of the state tax code and the largest income tax cut in Ohio's history. He also led the passage of the Ed Choice Scholarship -- a school choice option for children trapped in chronically-failing schools -- and the creation of the Choose Ohio First Scholarship to encourage Ohio students studying in the STEMM disciplines of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine. For his legislative work, he's proud to have been recognized as a Watchdog of the Treasury and as a Legislative Trail Blazer by School Choice Ohio.
After serving two terms as Speaker, Husted was elected to the Ohio Senate, where he was a leading advocate for reforming how we draw legislative and congressional districts. This is a cause he continues to champion as Secretary of State.
Raised in Montpelier Ohio, Husted attended the University of Dayton (UD), where he earned All-American Defensive Back honors as a member of the 1989 Division III National Championship football team. After receiving his bachelor's and master's degrees from UD, Husted stayed in the Dayton area where he served as Vice President of Business and Economic Development at the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce.
With all of his responsibilities, Secretary Husted considers his most important roles as that of husband to his wife Tina and father to his children, Alex, Katie and Kylie.
Provide leadership that builds trust and confidence in Ohio's system of elections through consistent and timely policy directives, just arbitration of disputes and enhanced services to voters and county boards of election.
Enhance economic growth and job creation using technology and customer service practices that save businesses time and money.

Coveting Thy Neighbor's Blogger
If all else fails, go with LOLCats!
In my capacity as Discover magazine CEO, I had lunch last week with a leading environmental scientist and blogger. After a brief but stimulating chat about the climate crisis, I steered the conversation around to my more parochial concern: Can I dramatically increase my Web traffic by adding more blogs?
He was skeptical to say the least. Incumbents in this market have significant first mover advantages. My friend launched his environment blog in 2004, a year before the Huffington Post but a good five years after Boing Boing. Since then, if you believe Technorati, literally tens of millions of new blogs have been created. At the same time, blog users' bookmarks and RSS readers have been filling up (not to mention other blogs' blogrolls), leaving less real estate for new entrants.
A quick look back to early 2007, though, shows that a magazine site can launch a new blog using a time-honored tactic-poaching from its competitors. In January, Atlantic Monthly signed Andrew Sullivan's blog away from Time, and whatever they paid him was probably a bargain compared to the ad inventory he generates.
There's a lesson here for magazines looking to expand their blog platforms. Instead of coaxing your overworked editors to blog more, look around your competitive space for established but undermonetized blog sites who might see the benefit of hooking up with your brand.
If that doesn't work, you can always go with the LOLCats.

CHARLOTTE – Mecklenburg County commissioners decided to put on hold a vote to ban guns in county parks.
If passed, the ordinance would ban concealed weapon permit holders on county park fields, gyms, pools and any playgrounds on park property. The proposal will be considered again at the board's May 1 meeting.
State law allows people with concealed weapon permits to carry weapons in parks but local municipalities can ban that right in some park areas.

Today's Small Change: AIM for success.
Setting Smart Short-term and Long-term Goals
As you work your way through Healthy Living , you probably have a long-term
goal or two in mind. Whether these goals consist of losing weight, improving
your fitness level, or finding balance in your daily life (or all of the
above!), it's great to know what kind of "big picture" you're aiming for.
But it's also important to set smaller, short-term goals that you can strive
for and achieve along the way. Accomplishing these smaller goals will help
you feel rewarded for your efforts, and it can help you stay motivated over
the long haul.
The key is to set smart goals that you can realistically achieve. Your goals
should be Attainable, In line with your priorities, and Measurable and
specific (AIM for short).
You'll want to make sure that the goals you set are attainable, or realistic
Biting off more than you can chew will just set you up for failure and
disappointment. So aim to set a goal you can actually reach. When you have
success with one small goal, you can look forward to setting another.
You'll also want to make sure that the goals you set are in line with your
priorities. Decide, for example, whether it's more important to incorporate
your physical activity into time you spend with your family (in which case a
nightly walk with your children may work nicely) or to use it as time for
yourself (in which case a solitary jog or yoga practice may be a better fit)
Finally, make your goals as specific as possible. Rather than just saying "I want to get in better shape," aim to be able to walk a certain distance, jog a mile at a certain speed, or swim a certain number of laps. With specific, measurable goals like these, you'll know exactly what you're aiming for...and you'll know when you've gotten there!

Free-Market Group Attacks Data Behind EPA 'Endangerment' Proposal

Free-market group attacks data behind EPA 'endangerment' proposal
By: Robin Bravender
October 07, 2009
A free-market advocacy group has launched another attack on the science behind U.S. EPA's proposed finding that greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare.
The Competitive Enterprise Institute -- a vocal foe of EPA's efforts to finalize its "endangerment finding" -- petitioned the agency this week to reopen the public comment period on the proposal, arguing that critical data used to formulate the plan have been destroyed and that the available data are therefore unreliable.
At issue is a set of raw data from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, that includes surface temperature averages from weather stations around the world. According to CEI, the data provided a foundation for the 1996 second assessment report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which EPA used when drafting its endangerment proposal.
According to the Web site for East Anglia's research unit, "Data storage availability in the 1980s meant that we were not able to keep the multiple sources for some sites, only the station series after adjustment for homogeneity issues. We, therefore, do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (i.e. quality controlled and homogenized) data."
CEI general counsel Sam Kazman said this lack of raw data calls the endangerment finding into question. "EPA is resting its case on international studies that in turn relied on CRU data. But CRU's suspicious destruction of its original data, disclosed at this late date, makes that information totally unreliable," he said. "If EPA doesn't re-examine the implications of this, it's stumbling blindly into the most important regulatory issue we face."
In a statement filed with CEI's petition, Cato Institute senior fellow Patrick Michaels called the development a "totally new element" in the endangerment debate. "It violates basic scientific principles and throws even more doubt onto the contention that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions endanger human welfare," he wrote.
Michaels is a University of Virginia professor and author of the book, "The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming." He stepped down from his post as Virginia's state climatologist in 2007 after he came under fire for publicly doubting global warming while taking money from the utility industry (Greenwire, Sept. 27, 2007).
Representatives of East Anglia University's Climatic Research Unit were not available to comment on the CEI petition.
EPA spokeswoman Adora Andy said the agency will evaluate the petition. "But after initial review of the statement their position rests upon," Andy added, "it certainly does not appear to justify upheaval."
The petition is the latest in a string of CEI challenges to the proceedings surrounding the endangerment finding and other Obama administration climate policies. Last week, the group threatened to sue the administration over documents related to the costs of a federal cap-and-trade program to curb greenhouse gas emissions. And in June, the group accused EPA officials of suppressing dissenting views from an EPA environmental economist during the run-up to the release of the endangerment proposal.
Rick Piltz, director of the watchdog group Climate Science Watch and a former official at the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, said that although the research unit's data are among key data sets used by the IPCC, "it's not the only data set that they use." He also said EPA drew on "multifaceted, robust" data in the technical support document underlying the finding.
EPA's endangerment finding relies most heavily on IPCC's 2007 fourth assessment; synthesis and assessment products of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program; National Research Council reports under the U.S. National Academy of Sciences; the EPA annual report on U.S. greenhouse gas emission inventories; and the EPA assessment of the effects of global change on regional U.S. air quality, according to the agency's technical support document.
"You do not need to reopen the IPCC reports and the technical support document on the EPA endangerment finding because of something having to do with the raw data from the temperature record from East Anglia University in the 1980s," Piltz said, adding that the IPCC carefully vets its data.
Piltz said CEI is on an ideological mission to head off EPA attempts to finalize the endangerment finding and is "grasping at straws" by challenging the IPCC data.
"Their bottom line is an antiregulatory ideology," Piltz said. "When they use science, they use it tactically, and they will go to war with the mainstream science community."
Republican senators also weighed in yesterday, urging EPA to reopen the public comment period on the endangerment finding to investigate the scientific merit of the research data.
"It's astonishing that EPA, so confident in the scientific integrity of its work, refuses to be transparent with the public about the most consequential rulemaking of our time," said Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), ranking member of the Environment and Public Works Committee. Inhofe sent a joint press release with Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) accusing EPA of relying upon flawed data.
"Now the evidence shows that scientists interested in testing some of EPA's assertions can't engage in basic scientific work, such as assuring reproducibility and objectivity, because the data they seek have been destroyed," Inhofe said. "In order to conform to federal law and basic standards of scientific integrity, EPA must reopen the record so the public can judge whether EPA's claims are based on the best available scientific information."

Carmen Manning
EAU CLAIRE — An English professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire is playing a key role in an innovative initiative to redesign public high schools in Chicago.
Dr. Carmen Manning, assistant professor of English at UW-Eau Claire, and two colleagues from other universities have been hired by the Chicago High School Redesign Initiative to conduct research and lead professional development initiatives for high school teachers in English/language arts, math, science, social studies and technology.
The CHSRI, funded primarily by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is an effort to close large underperforming high schools in Chicago and re-open many of them as small schools. So far, CHSRI has created 23 new small high schools in neighborhoods across the city. Typically, four new small schools are housed within a single existing school building, each with no more than 400 students each in grades 9-12
To date, the Gates Foundation has awarded nearly $20 million to support the high school conversion project. The Gates Foundation grant was matched by a $6 million contribution from a group of local Chicago foundations, and the CHSRI was formed to guide the effort.
"It is a very large grant project, and politically high profile in Chicago and across the nation because of the involvement of the Gates Foundation," Manning said, noting that research has long shown that the large Chicago high schools were ineffective in meeting education goals. "This is an innovative way to think about high school education in Chicago."
Manning and other members of the Lead Investigator Team will evaluate the CHSRI's work and conduct professional development for teachers in the conversion schools, said Manning, who has been involved in various education-related projects in Chicago for 10 years.
While Manning's specialty area of focus is English/language arts, the Lead Investigator Team will research and support teaching and learning in all areas, she said.
"Being hired to do this work is a very big deal for me and my colleagues," Manning said, noting that the team is still in the earliest stages of its work. "We have a real opportunity to influence the national conversation about authentic teaching and learning in schools. Calls of authenticity often lose out these days to the focus on national standards and testing."
Manning's team has been hired to do two things: First, develop and conduct research to investigate the nature of and changes in authentic, rigorous and relevant teaching and learning in the conversion schools; and second, provide ongoing, meaningful professional development for teachers in these schools to support authentic, rigorous and relevant teaching and learning.
"The three Rs — rigor, relevance and relationships — lead to increased achievement and increased graduation rates," Manning said. "Kids stay in school if they have relationships in the school. And rigor and relevance help build relationships between students, between teachers, and between students and their teachers."
The research team will include the high school teachers in all aspects of the project, Manning said. Together they will try to determine what effective assignments might include, and they will evaluate the students' work that results from those assignments, she said.
"This will be a real bottom up approach," Manning said. "We want to look at what kinds of assignments and activities teachers are creating, and then look at the performance of the students as a result of those assignments or activities. We want to know if the assignments and activities are resulting in student learning."
Manning's team began work on the three-year project in January. The team will meet several times this spring and more frequently in the summer, said Manning, who became involved in Chicago schools while attending graduate school at the University of Chicago.
While there are currently no UW-Eau Claire students participating in the project, Manning said her students are benefiting from her involvement because she brings information relating to the initiative into classroom discussions. As a result, UW-Eau Claire education majors are being encouraged to think about urban education in a new way, she said. Over time, she hopes the relationships she builds through the initiative will lead to new opportunities for UW-Eau Claire students, such as student teacher collaborations with Chicago schools.

The benefits of an incubator aren't restricted to technology companies. According to Adkins, that's one of the great misconceptions about business incubators. In fact, the statistics tell just the opposite story. Of the incubators in business, according to Adkins, 40 percent concentrate on service businesses, 23 percent on light manufacturing, 22 percent on technology and 7 percent on basic research, while the remaining 8 percent support diverse businesses and industries.
But that doesn't mean getting into an incubator is a slam dunk, cautions Adkins. "The best incubator programs have become adept at analyzing companies to see if their investment is worthwhile, so they evaluate the deal the same way a professional venture capitalist might," she says. "Just like everyone else, [incubators] are looking for companies that will be successful."
To find the incubator nearest you, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the National Business Incubation Association, 20 E. Circle Dr., #190, Athens, OH 45701, call (614) 593-4331, or visit http://www.nbia.org
