Kati Haycock President Kati Haycock is one of the nation's leading advocates in the field of education. She currently serves as President of The Education Trust. Established in 1996, Ed Trust works for the high academic achievement of all students at all levels, pre-kindergarten through college. The organization's goal is to close the gaps in opportunity and achievement that consign too many low-income students and students of color to lives on the margins of the American mainstream. Known for years as a powerful force on education policy, Ed Trust is often described as "the most important truth teller" in American public education. But the organization also works hand in hand with educators and civic leaders in their efforts to transform schools and colleges into institutions that serve all students well. Before coming to The Education Trust, Haycock served as Executive Vice President of the Children's Defense Fund, the nation's largest child advocacy organization. A native Californian, Haycock founded and served as President of The Achievement Council, a statewide organization that provided assistance to teachers and principals in predominantly minority schools in improving student achievement. She also served as Director of Outreach and Student Affirmative Action programs for the nine-campus University of California system. Kati Haycock speaks about educational improvement before thousands of educators, community and business leaders, and policymakers each year. She has received numerous awards for her service on behalf of our nation's youth, and serves as a director on several education-related boards, including the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, The New Teacher Project, and the Hunt Institute. |

Those are EXACTLY the things they should've omitted, imo. That and Morgan's zombified wife turning the knob. Zombies aren't supposed to do anything remotely close to humans except look human and breathe.
Unless they are zombies from Warm Bodies, which I saw and was cute as phuck!
Yeah, I'm glad they didn't go the whole running/smart zombies route. It was just weird that they were like that in the first season. lol Maybe they were just more energetic then 'cause they had more to eat. :P Now they look more malnourished and starving.
I finally watched the 1st episode (the only one I had missed). Question, how did Rick walk barefoot most of the way home from the hospital, and when he was on the floor in the fetal position, his feet were clean? Weird thing to notice?

This is a live action advertisement for the upcoming return for TWD. Very, very cool! I wish I could see this in person. It's in Toronto's Union Station.
I'm wearing this shirt from season 1 in honor of today!

It's almost here! I shouldn't have watched the season 2 marathon yesterday. I forgot how annoying Lori and Andrea were.
"Don't hold strong opinions about things you don't understand."
Lori is still causing problems beyond the grave. Bitch go away.
Great episode tonight, as usual.
Rick just needs some rest and Id like to give him a bath.

People who've not seen the episode, don't read below. Talking to you, sis.
I just need Rick to be good and sane, he's losing it and it's killing me. And Daryl chose his brother!? When they were in the woods, instead of hitting him in the head, I would've shot his ass. Annoying as fuck!
I can't really read the comic to find out what happens with Daryl because him and his brother aren't in it, so I'll just have to wait. I hope he comes back so him, Rick, Glenn, Maggie and Michonne can kick ass as a team.
I like the new group 'cept for ol boy who wanted to take over the prison when only Carl and Carol were alone.
Line of the night:
Tyrese: "I must be the first brotha in history to break into prison."
Author of Lost in a Dream. If you want to make me smile, read it and tell me what you think.
Yes, absolutely.
Merle can not be trusted. He just got back and he's talking out of his ass, but I would expect nothing less from Merle. I hate that Darryl felt the need to go with him. Rick and the crew are his family and he's made such great emotional progress, even in these horrible times. He'll just regress with Merle. Its sad. On The Talking Dead, a viewer asked What will it take for Darryl to abandon Merle ? What could be the last straw ? Thats a good question. Will he ever give up on Merle ? I wonder.
Im loving the Tyrese character. I don't love his name but thats for another time.
He has such a sweet disposition. I like the Black girl ( I don't know her name ) but that man and his (son?) have to go. They are just trouble waiting to happen.
Is Hershel's daughter crushing on Rick ? That kiss on the cheek was unexpected. He's a DILF, I get it....but its still weird.
AND...I need a lesbian on the show.

Tyrese was big in the comics, but he'd been with them for a while before the prison (like Michonne, I think. In fact, I think those two dated?? don't quote me on that )
I keep thinking Andrea might just make her move and leave Woodbury, but then she did that leadership thing at the end. I don't even know now!

After the so-so portrayal of Michonne, that I hope they'll fix in the next 7 episodes. I was so happy with the portrayal of Tyrese, he's just catching Rick, while he's going through some stuff. Sasha was great too, she was not in the comics interesting to hear she is Tyrese's sister. I don't think Beth is crushing on Rick(I am :P). I think it is more as a Uncle kind of relationship.
I cant stand Rick's delusional
Carl must babysit his papa and take control the prison for a minute
Glenn's anger causing his awkward relationship with Maggie
Rick looked hot as fuck in the new episode, despite him going crazy, lol. The next episode looks interesting too. I can't wait!
I like Francisco Lachowski, Jon Kortajarena and other male models
Guys, seriously who the heck would ditch their brother during a zombie apocalypse? Let's be real. I respect Darryl's decision even though Merle is a piece of shit. It's understandable and tbh I would have side-eyed Darryl if he'd left his brother, his own blood, all alone to fend for himself. I'm not even sure why Carol is making parallels between the relationship she had with her abusive husband and the relationship Darryl has with Merle. What's this about "makes you think you deserve the abuse"? What am I missing?
Anyway, can we talk about how awful these damn Walking Dead extras are? Their acting in those Woodbury scenes. LMFAO. Especially when Andrea was giving her speech.
Rick is the most unstable fucking guy. I'm glad he had his hallucination-breakdown in front of the entire group-- I think it's his worst one yet in front of them. He needs to be reeled in, they have basically been letting him call the shots without question. His paranoia is getting in the way of keeping the group safe. You start a war with an entire town, let Darryl go, then reject Michonne and Tyreese. The fuck is this guy doing.
I died at Tyreese running the fuck outta there with his group when Rick was waving his gun around.
TYREESE & HAMMER 4 NEW GROUP LEADER. THNX. Down with the Ricktatorship.
They're not lesbians but...
I thought Michonne and Andrea were gonna have a romance, tbh.
Too bad that didn't work out. I was shipping it.
But then Andrea went and fucked it all up.
I almost barfed in this episode when she was all "Don't you dare try to push me out" to the Governor. This fool has lost her damned mind.

I suppose they had a little bit of that vibe going. I can't really go there with them.
I was kind of thinking of the new Black girl and Hershel's daughter lol. I know that is a stretch as well, especially since Hershel's daughter looks a little young.
Idk, Sometimes it feels like the zombies ate all the queer people.
" For all there is to feel, let it be felt"

Facial expressions? Plural? hehe
Her name is Sasha. And apparently she's Tyreese's sister. I have no idea when all of that info was revealed on the show, tbh. lol Guess I haven't been paying attention. Anyway, the actress is leaving the show to join the cast of Once Upon A Time. She's really pretty, imo, and I kind of thought the character had potential. Oh well.
As for Beth, I think she has the hots for Rick. But who doesn't, tbh. lol
Girl, idk about Sasha and Beth because I'm unsure of Sasha's age and Beth is 17, but Sasha and Maggie would be hawt.
I'm holding out for Beth and Carl, tbqh. Hershel will deal. Did you guise see the shot of Carl and Beth scrambling through the prison courtyard with guns in the clip for next week? Something goin' down.
I find it fascinating that the characters in this show can stress me da phuq out and infuriate me, but I still see where they're coming from and respect their decisions. Like ThatGirl said, as much as I didn't like it, I could see where Daryl was coming from with Merle. Maybe it's just because I grew up with siblings that I didn't always get along with, but you really do ride for your blood, and if he didn't in that moment, girl...
And all I want Andrea to do is get ha ass to that prison and reunite with the group, but on the other hand she really is blossoming into the Barack Obama of Woodbury with that speech. Better come around soon tho.
^ For real about Sasha? Damn, well, at least we know who's gonna get built up only to have a glorious death.
That kiss was ok, but the longing look after was weird and creepy. Come on, gurl, Carl's got the hots for you already!
Author of Lost in a Dream. If you want to make me smile, read it and tell me what you think.
Aww, that sucks. I've already grown to like her and I was pleased to have more than one black female protagonist in the group at the same time.
But I watch Once Upon a Time too, so qt.
Can you guys imagine a love triangle between Carl and his daddy over Beth?
Last edited by BFizzle; February 11th, 2013 at 11:24 AM.
Aw, okay..everyone is straight.
And pretty Sasha is leaving .
Well Ill look forward to seeing her on Once Upon A Time.
I know that Beth and Carl are supposed to be getting together, but she still looks way too old for him.
I do not want her longing after Rick either, that may be even weirder.

Haley was probably gay, too. The trucker hat, the cutoff sleeves, the archery, etc.
Haley just died though, didn't she? Poor girl. I thought she could be someone who left Woodbury with Andrea if that ever happened

^ BFizz, sis, I get gay vibes from Milton as well. I thought it was just me. lol
Anyway, I mentioned this a while back but there was supposed to be a gay storyline in the Prison. Two of the prisoners were in a relationship in the comics. Apparently, the fact that they just erased that part out of the show got on many people's nerves. I don't think they were skipping it out of homophobia though, it's just that they had no interest in developing the prisoners-- I think almost all of them have been killed off.
Uh-Oh, Did 'The Walking Dead' Purposefully Skip a Gay Storyline?
The exclusion was particularly noted by LGBT blog Back2Stonewall, in which Will Kohler criticized the change in a blog post:
Considering the veritable United Nations of characters that have been seen on The Walking Dead over the past three seasons it's becoming a glaring omission and sad fact there has not been one LGBT character on this show up till now.
Invisibility on television is a major problem for the LGBT Community and both TV and movies need to learn that a characters sexuality is an aside, a trait like being left-handed or having blue eyes and should be presented and treated as such and not something to fear presenting.
LGBT viewers of The Walking Dead and television in general deserve much better. Better characters, better representation, and better advocating for such by concerned individuals and organizations.

My group was looking over the Beta and errata and have some questions I couldn't find answers to. Between a spotty search function and a someitmes slow loading forum, I couldn't find answers to them. But my apologies if they've been answered already.
1) Auto-Fire - The errata states that it takes two Advantage to activate. The Beginner's Box says one Advantage. I've ruled that the errata is correct. Would that be a safe assumption?
2) Backpacks and Utility Belts - A curious player wondered if all he carried was a Heavy Blaster Rifle (ENC 6) and Padded Armor (ENC 2) could have that total reduced by carrying a Backpack (ENC -3, or an increase of 3 to ENC Threshold). The logical part of my head would say "no," but there aren't any rules to support that. I would think an empty backpack does nothing to help you carry a big gun and armor, but I could be missing the forest for the trees on this one. GM-fiat could win the day here.
I thought I had more, but I can't think of them at the moment. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Christopher W. Walker Tribute
Looking to the stars: Christopher W. Walker |
Real estate developer, lawyer, inventor, and philanthropist, Chris Walker passed away at his home Wednesday, August, 31, after a prolonged struggle with multiple myeloma. He is survived by his wife and two children. As CEO and founder of Walker and Company, he developed thirteen office buildings, primarily in Reston, Virginia starting in the 1970s. He was intimately involved in the design of his buildings and saw quality outdoor lighting as an essential part of the design esthetic. This interest drew him to become an early advocate and supporter of the Virginia Outdoor Lighting Taskforce. Chris Walker is best known to the dark sky movement for his longtime support of IDA and funder for some of its major initiatives, including the Model Lighting Ordinance and the opening of the Office of Policy and Government Affairs in Washington, D.C. However his primary contribution to IDA was his generous investment of time and energy to help it grow and achieve its full potential. Over the last twenty years he was a director, officer and trusted advisor to IDA. Chris' early contributions catapulted IDA from a mostly volunteer organization to a working office with paid staff in the late 1990s. He supported research and development of the Night Sky Brightness Monitor, a pioneering technology to automatically measure sky quality in a remote location and compile the data in a central database. This technology could revolutionize the methodology for sky brightness measurement and allow a comprehensive database to be compiled for the first time. Recently he was sponsoring the development of a low cost device that uses a consumer CCD camera to analyze glare. In addition to his unparalleled generosity to IDA, he served as chief editor of Visibility by Design, a simplified and common sense guide to outdoor signage and sign lighting. Chris was a firm believer in applied technology. He utilized this concept in many of his projects, including Operation Match, a pioneering computer dating service which he co-founded in the 1960s as a graduate student at Harvard University. At the Center for Applied Proteomics and Molecular Medicine, Chris sponsored a lab to apply proteometric technology to blood cancer with the goal of finding successful treatment through a combination of existing technology. This funding has helped to generate a listserv uniting blood cancer efforts worldwide. Closer to home, he founded the Dulles Corridor Users Group, which advocates for cost effective mobility in the Dulles Corridor, Virginia's most active business area. He believed in "corridor analysis" and the use of wireless technology to make public transportation and carpooling more effective. Chris was an avid traveler and fitness advocate, often used a folding bicycle to explore urban centers. He strove to share his insights as a traveler with teenagers in the hope that exposure to other cultures would broaden their perspective of the world and increase their potential and contribution as individuals. To achieve this goal he supported the Experiment in International Living, an exchange program to send first world students to live with families in the third world during summer vacation and vice versa. |

After the parade was over, we got to walk down the middle of Market and confetti fell like snow. Truly magical.
And why yes, I am carrying a coffee cup in each hand in my photo-op with The Adorable Little Brother. No parade would be complete without two coffees. Money on Hunter Pence agreeing with me.

I absolutely understand the difference. What you fail to acknowledge is that the results are the same. In either case hitting the forward button 7 times in a row or activating the auto hop feature for each and every show provides the exact same outcome.
Only if you activate it and they do not know if you do!
I do not know if anybody is watching it without autohop either and you cannot disable commercials entirely. Only for programs that PTAT records and only after a designated amount of time passes. There could be room for negotiation on the last point alone.
The advertisers, just like my boss, are not stupid. They (advertisers) already know millions of people are skipping their ads every night. My boss knows if I am goofing off because my work is not done.
Customers still have to acknowledge they want to skip. Some may and some may not. It may be definitive in your mind but that does not mean it is.
Dish is not preventing the networks from transmitting the commercials. Nor are they deleting the commercials from the stream. The commercials still exist in the recording and if you do not choose to autohop you can watch the broadcast just as it aired.
The networks will definitely be looking for advocates to work on their case and/or testify and argue this point on their behalf. I am sure this job pays very well. Forward resume and credentials to the major networks taking part in the litigation.
We Dish subscribers already pay the network retransmission fees for channels that are supposed to be free. Commercials and advertisers are not evil, in this particular case the networks are and swizzle in just a pinch of greed into that description as well. If the big four are supposed to be completely paid for with ads why do we then have to pay them anything additional just to receive them from our provider?
I would argue that the cost of "free" networks subsidized with ads will never equal the cost of an HBO with zero ads. It will always be something less. I agree there is an argument on both sides of this coin. I am far from complaining here. I acknowledge that this is just part of the process and by now you know which side I am on.

Dish AutoHop vs Networks Commercial Skipping Discussion

Until a little while ago, broadcast stations WERE 'free and subsidized by ads'.
They still are. I watch and record a number of broadcast stations and their subchannels and skip commercials at will without paying a dime for any of them.
HD, SchmacHD!! Just be glad you've got a picture at all.

OTA? Maybe, but you're still paying for networks in your overall bill........
Posted 25 May 2012 - 09:21 AM
Auto Hop does not remove commercials from the recordings. When a program is selected with the RED Kangoroo in the upper right hand corner, a box appears asking if you want to enable the feature, so the choice is yours if you want to watch commercials or not. If you select NO you can watch all the commercial you want. Thanks.
That point has been made many times already, and please trim what you quote to what's relevant.

Another bit of irony... How many posters who hate commercials and want to skip them all... how many of you have links or things in your signatures or avatars that are advertisements? Or maybe you wear clothes with logos on them? Or a bumper sticker on your car perhaps?
If advertisements are evil and to be skipped... why are you advertising?
Because putting on a shirt takes "X" amount of time whether or not it has a logo or not. Watching 40 minutes of show that take 60 because of commercials is the difference. The advertising is not bad, the time it takes is.
I am starting to understand Charlie's point. Why should customers have to pay to receive a signal via satellite or cable that is free OTA? So to punish the networks and affiliates for making customers pay for something that should be free, he developed Auto-Hop. Good for him.
Posted 25 May 2012 - 09:29 AM
^Correct. They are only free to those with only an antenna. Everyone else is paying something for them.
So, get an antenna. That way you get all the sub-channels and other minor channels not carried by the satellite and cable companies.
You don't HAVE to pay for the networks.
HD, SchmacHD!! Just be glad you've got a picture at all.

That goes into another thread we've seen here many times. Just ban retransmission fees and get it over with.

No they're not. They're available for free OTA, but Dish pays retrans fees to at least one station in my market.

i don't think dish will have any problems winning this case in court
Posted 25 May 2012 - 10:15 AM
I think the problem is , most receivers do like a 10 second or 30 second skip. I know any of the boxes i had did. But you can still see, the commercial.
You are probably used to 30 second "slip" on DirecTV. It's similar to Dish's 60x FFWD, only in regulated 30 second bursts. That and auto-correct were two things that really annoyed me about my DriecTV DVR.
Dish has always had true skip function. You don't see anything during the skip. It simply jumps ahead in time instantly. They also don't do auto-correct, Thank God!
Posted 25 May 2012 - 10:32 AM
I find it easier to use FF 3 and with a tiny bit of skill, land it exactly where I want, be it a .5, 1, 2, 3, 3.5 etc. commercial block.

DIRECTV® has a 30 Skip but you have to enable it via entering a keyword.
And how many everyday users know about that little song and dance?

While I may agree with you, there are a few facts that are undeniable. First, broadcast television consistently delivers the highest ratings in the country. There must be something about the economic model that allows them to afford higher quality programming in larger quantities than the cable model does. It may have something to with the fact that many people use antennas or get "lifeline" cable - which includes almost nothing but local broadcast stations.
It isn't the commercials themselves, because USA and SyFy have commercials, too. I believe it is the ubiquity of these channels - they are in almost every single household with a television.
Actually, the consistency of broadcast ratings is in decline. This year NBC had a number of decent-to-good shows get terrible ratings. Fox and ABC struggle more than they used to. CBS may be the winner, but the pot has gotten smaller. And The CW....
I've posted this before, but IMHO if satellite/cable would be allowed to deliver directly broadcast network content consistent with time zones, ratings would not change and the networks would make more money by not sharing ad revenue with locals. Local channels would instantly lose their entitlement status and would have to offer desirable content to survive.
In most DMA's we would likely see two or three channels offering network content on sub channels for OTA folks.

I don't think Dish is doing anything illegal. I think they were very careful about this... so I don't think the networks will be able to win anything in court.
However... IF Dish does (as I expect) win this in court... then as I said earlier, it spells something of an end to commercial broadcast TV because the other satellite and cable companies will soon follow suit most likely if customers demand this... and then the networks will be unable to sell commercial time for what they do today.
The networks will have to look elsewhere for that money... and that means your and my pockets!
This commercial skipping thing will not be free to us... mark my words.
You want the end of commercials... be careful what you ask for... you might just get it.

ENGLEWOOD, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 05/25/12 -- DISH (NASDAQ: DISH) filed a lawsuit in defense of its AutoHop™ commercial-skipping feature after threats from broadcasters and responded to subsequent suits filed against it late Thursday by CBS, FOX and NBC.
The following statements can be attributed to Dave Shull, senior vice president of Programming for DISH:
"The lawsuits filed by the networks essentially argue that 'consumers must watch commercials.' We find that proposition absurd and profoundly anti-consumer."
"Customers have been skipping commercials since the birth of the remote control, and the networks are arguing against that fact. Taken to the extreme, will the networks next ask consumers to stop changing channels?"
"Collectively, the networks reap billions in retransmission fees -- fees that are reflected in subscribers' growing bills. For their money, consumers deserve to use content they pay for as they wish."
"AutoHop needs to be put in perspective: the majority of our viewers watch their primetime shows live or during the same evening -- the time that is most valuable to advertisers. We chose to incorporate AutoHop as a next day feature and only if enabled by the consumer."
About DISH

Do the networks hold the rights to the combination of their programming and the commercials?
I think for that to fly the networks would need to hold the copyright to the commercial?
I don't recall that anyone went after JVC for offering a commercial skip feature on their VCRs back in the day. It worked much the same way: commercials appeared when watching live and were marked with in and out points after the recording had completed.
As I remember several brands had a system where you could could manually put a chapter mark onto the tape that you could skip to when playing back.
Not very automatic TBO.
This doesn't go nearly as far as the self-righteous movie rental companies that engage in editing the daylights out of movies to remove the content that they find objectionable (this has withstood some pretty serious legal wrangling).
It was my understanding that they lost indirectly.
To be able to edit the "Objectionable" content they have to violate the DMCA that makes it illegal to defeat Copy protection /DRM.
So I don't see how they can do it legally.
I am waiting to see the fallout from autohop.

"For their money, consumers deserve to use content they pay for as they wish."
So... one might just as well ask why can't Dish Sling customers use the Slingplayer software on their PC and Mac to Sling? Why do we have to use their Web site or mobile app? Why can't we "use content" that we "pay for" as we wish?
Also... Why can't we play our external hard drive content on our PCs? After all, we are paying for that content too, right?
Making that kind of a blanket statement about customers while already restricting (sometimes for logical and understood reasons) the use of the content makes Dish look a little foolish in my opinion.
They can't take a "let the consumer use content as they wish" stance when they are not in fact pushing this fully themselves.

Local councils are jeopardising local business growth according to new research from ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants). One-in-five UK SMEs said that decisions made by their local councils were having a detrimental impact on their business. Decisions regarding parking and traffic restrictions, red tape around business premises and procurement of goods and services from out-of-town businesses were all common complaints from the 500 SMEs surveyed.
The failure of councils to think local first has not gone unnoticed by the general public. In a survey of 2,000 UK consumers, almost half (48 per cent) said that councils should be doing more to help local SMEs, while a quarter (27 per cent) said they felt councils were actively hindering local SME growth.
Andrew Leck, head of ACCA UK, said: 'In recent years, the UK public has been encouraged to support British businesses and now the same principle must be applied on a local scale. SMEs make up 99 per cent of all UK organisations, and our research shows that local councils simply cannot afford to ignore the ramifications of their decisions on these local businesses.'
In spite of the lack of attention from local councils, the future looks bright for many SMEs. Only four per cent of SMEs said that they would need to reduce their local presence over the coming year, while 14 per cent said that they were planning to increase their footprint and 10 per cent said that they were exploring international trade opportunities.
Leck continued: 'It is encouraging to see that small businesses remain positive and are looking for ways to expand and grow in the coming years – both from a local and international perspective. Councils must recognise the role they have to play in local economic development and ensure that all decisions are made with local SMEs in mind so as not to stifle this positivity.'
Despite Government efforts to encourage the UK's big banks to lend to small businesses, only three per cent of SMEs said they were planning on approaching their bank for a loan in the next 12 months.
Leck concluded: 'Make no mistake – it has become harder to secure funding in recent years, but if an SME needs an injection of cash to survive or expand then they shouldn't be afraid to ask their bank. Speaking with an accountant or financial adviser is often the best way to identify the best means of funding for your business and how to go about obtaining it.'
The research for ACCA was carried out online by Vital Research & Statistics. The survey of 500 SME owners/decision makers was carried out between 1/10/12 and 4/10/12. The survey of 2,000 consumers was carried out on 20/10/12.

Mumbai visit and Daniel K. Inouye Project
Mumbai visitWe recently hosted a delegation from Mumbai University and the Indian state of Maharashtra as a follow up to previous discussions on the development of community colleges in Mumbai.
The delegation is interested in the UH System's model of higher education that includes two to four year institutions. The University of Mumbai is also looking to UH for guidance on travel and hospitality.
Kapiolani Community College Chancellor Leon Richards, who met members of the Mumbai university delegation at an international education summit convened by the Obama administration over a year ago, and Dean Frank Haas were invited to participate in an international conference in India earlier this year to discuss plans to develop community colleges in the country.
Daniel K. Inouye ProjectUH Manoa has been given the honor of housing, preserving and organizing the late and revered Senator Daniel Inouye's congressional papers.
UH Manoa and the Library of Congress signed an agreement earlier this month that will honor the lifework of the late senator. The Daniel K. Inouye Project also establishes a digital access program for the papers at both UH Manoa and the Library of Congress, creates an oral history and a distinguished scholars initiative focusing on national and international topics.
The senator's son, Ken Inouye presented UH Manoa with his father's UH diploma and The Daniel K. Inouye Institute presented UH Manoa with a $250,000 check to support the beginnings of our effort to carry on the senator's legacy.

Indonesia visit
I traveled to Indonesia with a delegation from the university which included UH Manoa's Social Sciences Dean Denise Konan and UH Manoa Professor of Education Maya Soetoro-Ng.
We were in Yogyakarta to represent the university's interests in the APDR3 Indonesia Symposium. APDR3 refers to Asia-Pacific Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience which grew out of our strategic partnership with PACOM.
This visit was the result of APEC 2011, where a unique combination of partners from U.S. agencies, non profit agencies, PACOM and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce signed an MOU to work together to develop Disaster Reduction, Risk and Resilience in the Asia Pacific region. This effort is also part of our commitment to expand the university's international engagements, especially in the Asia Pacific region.
In addition to the symposium, we worked to develop institutional partnerships with Indonesian universities to facilitate a new joint curriculum in this area and to expand research, student exchange, and student recruitment. We are also developing new study abroad opportunities, and we met with many UH alumni and friends in the Yogyakarta region. We visited the reconstruction village zone where villagers are working with the universities to build new earthquake and eruption resistant homes. We learned a great deal from these colleagues and had several news conferences.
A photo slide show of our fruitful Indonesian visit can be found on my blog.

I am Nina Stössinger, type-obsessed designer and overall curious person. I like learning, details, computers, books, music, math, the internet, design conferences, language, code, and a lot of other things. But most of all I like type.
I have recently graduated from the Type and Media Master program at the Royal Academy of Art in Den Haag, The Netherlands, and am living and working in Den Haag with my studio for type design and typography, typologic. I previously ran a studio in Switzerland that was more focused on graphic design, typography, and some web design; you can browse some of that work on my previous studio site.
Here is some type I've published so far, and a couple of type design tools. You can also read my blog.
