Consider Nominating a Colleague for a CSTA Award!
Posted: Wednesday, May 1st, 2013
by Laura Henriques
CSTA has two different awards that honor individuals. The CSTA Future Science Teacher Award recognizes promising college students with potential to be an outstanding science educator. The Margaret Nicholson Distinguished Service Award honors individuals who, through their leadership and service, have made significant contributions to science education in California.
The CSTA Future Teacher Award can be given to a prospective elementary, middle or high school teacher. The nominees are typically students enrolled in a teacher education program. They should show commitment to teaching and science education via volunteering, teaching, involvement in professional organizations, and have potential to be an outstanding teacher. Over the years teachers from all levels have been selected. The CSTA Board is able to give the award to one or two outstanding candidates per year.
The Margaret Nicholson Award is the highest honor given by CSTA. It acknowledges significant contributions to science education. Previously honorees have been science education leaders in curriculum development, policy, professional development, or district leadership. This award tends to be given to people with sustained records of service in California. All have made a positive impact on the quality of science teaching in the state.
I know that this time of year is a busy one for all of us but I encourage you to take the time to nominate someone for one of these awards. It is important for us to acknowledge excellence and recognize promise. Even if the person you nominate is not selected, imagine how great they will feel to know that you thought they were worthy of this honor. The awards will be announced and conferred at the Awards Breakfast at the October 2013 CSTA California Science Education Conference.
Details about the awards and previous winners can be found on the CSTA website.

I am really enjoying the creativity that NGSS is awakening in teachers. Those who want to create are taking the standards (and the freedom that comes from the lack of a test) and really exploring what engages their students. I found though, that even when trying our best to match up to the expectations of NGSS, there is a feeling that we missed something. Did we remember the crosscutting concepts? Did the students engage in the practices at the level that NGSS expects? Did we get to the engineering? How about the Nature of Science? Was the content deep enough to really teach the DCI to the point where it could be applied to a new situation? Was it engaging? About a real world phenomenon or problem? Learn More…

I've learned the hard way that I will get "huffs", eye-rolls, grunts, and the occasional nuclear meltdown from students if I ask them to summarize their learning in, dare I say it, a paragraph. It's as though paragraph is a bad word and how shocking that I would ask for one in science class! I even get slammed with questions: "How many sentences to I have to write?" (why are we still asking that question in middle school?), "Do I have to use complete sentences?", and "Do I really have to write a whole paragraph?" *teacher sigh*
First and foremost, I am a huge advocate of having students produce writing in a science class. I will also admit that this can be a challenge, and so the year that I decided to make the shift to an interactive science notebook it was glaring at me. I would be asking students for writing as a vehicle to share their thinking (in what we refer to as "outputs" in the notebook) all the time. Although we wouldn't be able to avoid the writing, sometimes I may want to ask my students to share their thinking in a way that will avoid the drama that asking for a paragraph can sometimes generate. (Incidentally, this was all prior to implementation of the Common Core Standards – where anecdotally, in just one year, I've seen a big shift in student acceptance of writing outside of language arts.)

Exploring the Ecosystem That Is Your Classroom
Posted: Tuesday, March 3rd, 2015
by Laura Henriques
As you read through this month's CCS you'll find articles about biology, professional learning, NGSS implementation tales, and finding a job. I find the juxtaposition of the articles works. When we look for a job we need to have a good fit – we need to fill a niche in the school's ecosystem and our needs must be met. When we look at our professional learning needs we are doing a self-assessment, finding out our own needs and meeting them
Earlier this year John Speigel, Anthony Quan and Yami Shimojyo wrote an article for CCS which discussed a pathway from NGSS awareness to implementation. If we use their awareness-transition-implementation matrix to mark our efforts we can start making changes to our instruction and have a mechanism to note progress. So let's think of our classroom as its own teaching/learning ecosystem and start modifying the system to see what positive changes we can make to student engagement and student learning. Learn More…

A latency counter for use in relatively complex systems having relatively large numbers of devices with associated timers. Whenever a timer is activated by setting a time period, the latency counter is set to the larger of its current value or a value associated with the time period of the last-expiring timer. Prior to scanning the timers to determine if a timer has expired, the latency counter is checked. If the value of the latency counter is equal to a predetermined value, then no timers are active and no scanning is performed. If the value of the latency counter is not equal to the predetermined value, the latency counter value is modified and a scanning operation of each timer is performed to determine if any timers have expired. Considerable processing resources can be saved.
1. A method for monitoring a plurality of timers, comprising the steps of:
activating one or more of the plurality of timers by setting one or more time periods, each time period expiring when a timeout operation is needed;
activating a latency counter associated with the plurality of timers by setting the maximum of a current value of the latency counter and the one or more time periods;
determining whether the latency counter has counted to a predetermined value; and
if the latency counter has not counted to the predetermined value, adjusting the latency counter, and scanning the plurality of timers to determine if any of the timers indicate the need for one or more timeout operations.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the predetermined value is zero, and wherein the step of adjusting is performed by decrementing the latency counter by a value of one.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of timers are associated with one or more devices of a telecommunication system.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein at least one of the one or more timeout operations is a determination of whether a device is faulty.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the device is a digital transceiver module board.
6. The method of claim 4, wherein each timer is associated with a single device.
7. The method of claim 3, wherein the devices include one or more transcoder boards contained in one or more switches of the telecommunication system.
8. The method of claim 3, wherein the devices represent one or more mobile stations in the telecommunication system, the mobile stations periodically providing registration information to the system, and corresponding timers are activated when registration information is not received by the telecommunication system within a predetermined time interval.
9. A system for monitoring a plurality of timers, comprising:
a plurality of timers, each timer associated with a device component and capable of being activated by setting a time period, the time period expiring when a timeout operation is needed;
at least one latency counter associated with the plurality of timers, each latency counter capable of being activated, by setting the maximum of a current value of the latency counter and the one or more time periods, when a timer is activated; and
monitoring means for determining whether an activated latency counter has counted to a predetermined value, adjusting the activated latency counter if the activated latency counter has not counted to the predetermined value, and scanning the plurality of timers to determine if a timeout operation is needed.
10. The system of claim 9, wherein the predetermined value is zero, and wherein the monitoring means adjusts the activated latency counter by decrementing the latency counter by a value of one.
11. The system of claim 9, wherein the plurality of timers are associated with one or more devices of a telecommunication system.
12. The system of claim 11, wherein the timeout operation is a determination of whether a device is faulty.
13. The system of claim 12, wherein the device is a digital transceiver module board.
14. The system of claim 12, wherein each timer is associated with a single device.
15. The system of claim 11, wherein the devices include one or more transcoder boards contained in one or more switches of the telecommunication system.
16. The system of claim 11, wherein the devices represent one or more mobile stations in the telecommunication system, the mobile stations periodically providing registration information to the telecommunication system, and corresponding timers are activated when registration information is not received by the telecommunication system within a predetermined time interval.
The present invention relates generally to complex systems having a relatively large number of timers associated with components of the system. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a latency counter for scanning timers in a complex system.
In complex systems having many devices, timers are often necessary to coordinate the performance of the many operations which are inherent in such systems. Such complex systems can include sensors, switches, transmitters, engines, etc. Timers associated with each of these or other devices can be set to indicate that some action must be performed by or on the associated device when the set time period expires. A practical example of a system employing such timers is a telecommunication system which includes many components which are subject to faults. Because many faults can occur due to temporary malfunctions (e.g., power glitches), when component faults are detected, the faulty component(s) enter into a passive state for a predetermined interval defined by a timer. When the timer expires at the end of the predetermined interval, the component is reactivated to determine if the fault was due to a temporary malfunction or whether the component needs to be repaired or replaced. Since a typical telecommunications system includes many such components, continuously monitoring all components requires a significant portion of system resources.
Conventionally, the timers associated with related devices are scanned at each clock interval to determine if any expired timers exist, and hence if any operations must be performed. Scanning is generally performed either by sequentially scanning all timers in the system, or by scanning the timers according to the contents of a sorted list of timers. The sorted list is a list of active timers only. Searches are performed by monitoring only the portion(s) of the list that contains particular timeout values. There are disadvantages associated with both of these systems for monitoring timers.
More particularly, in systems which employ a sequential search, the system has no way of knowing when there are no timers set. In other words, all timers are searched at each interval. While a check of the list of all timers can be performed to determine if any active timers exist, this check amounts to an additional scan operation of the list of all timers. Since the situation where no timers are activated is a relatively frequent occurrence (indeed, is typically the normal state of operation), the sequential search method has the disadvantage of wasting system resources.
In systems which employ a sorted list, scanning is not initiated until the list contains at least one active timer. However, a sorting procedure must be performed each time a new timer is activated to insert the newly-activated timer at an appropriate position in the list of timers. Further, a removal procedure must also be performed to identify and remove a particular timer from the list. This sorting procedure is inefficient, and also wastes system resources, especially when removing timers.
It would be desirable to be able to monitor a relatively large number of timers in a complex system in an efficient manner so as to ensure that required operations are performed at the appropriate times and in an appropriate order.
It would further be desirable to be able to monitor components in a telecommunications system more efficiently, so that system efficiency can be improved.
To overcome the above problems, and to achieve other advantages, the present invention provides for a counter, method and system for monitoring a relatively large number of device timers associated with the devices of a relatively complex system. According to the present invention, a latency counter is provided which is set when any one of the timers associated with the system is set. Each time a new timer is set which has a time value larger than the current value of the latency counter, the latency counter is reset to the larger time value. Prior to scanning the timers, the system first determines whether the latency counter has a predetermined value (e.g., 0). If the latency counter value is not equal to the predetermined value, the latency counter value is adjusted (e.g., towards the predetermined value), and the timers are scanned to determine if any operations are necessary.
As a result of the present invention, the need to scan through the timers when no timer is active is avoided. Further, inefficient sorting procedures are also avoided. Thus, significant system resources can be reallocated as needed to improve the system. The present invention has significant practical utility in a telecommunications system.
The features and advantages of the present invention will be more fully understood upon reading the following Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference indicia designate like elements, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a plurality of timers in a system;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the plurality of timers of FIG. 1 used in conjunction with a latency counter according to the present invention;
FIGS. 3A-3B are flow charts describing the steps of a method according to the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatical representation of a telecommunications system in which the timer and method of the present invention can be implemented;
FIG. 5 is a diagrammatical representation of a portion of a base station in the system of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a diagrammatical representation of an alternative embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 7 is a diagrammatical representation of the transcoder board of FIG. 6; and
FIG. 8 is a flow chart describing a portion of a call set-up procedure in the embodiment of FIG. 6.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a collection of timers 101, 102, 103, . . . 10n are shown. Each timer is associated with a device or component of a system. It should be appreciated that the concepts of the present invention may be conveniently implemented in any relatively complex system having a plurality of timers associated with various components or devices of the system. The timers can each be activated by setting a time period, and the expiration of the set time period serves as an indication that some operation must be performed by, on, or using the device associated with that timer. Such systems can include engines, computers systems, systems with sensors, transmitters and receivers, as well as many other systems too numerous to mention specifically. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system is a telecommunications system, and the devices or components are elements (e.g., digital transceiver module boards located in a base station) or transcoders located in a switch in the telecommunications system. The devices can thus be located in a telecommunication switch or in equipment connected to or related to the switch (e.g., a base station). The devices can be hardware or software. To determine whether any of the timers are expired, and thus whether some action needs to be performed by, to, or using the device associated with the expired timers, the timers of FIG. 1 can be scanned sequentially or on the basis of a sorted list, as described above. However, such methods have the disadvantages and inefficiencies described above.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a latency counter 12 has been added to the counter configuration of FIG. 1. The latency counter is activated whenever one of the timers 101 -10n are activated. Whenever additional timers are activated, the latency counter is notified, and the current latency counter value is adjusted only if a new timer is activated with a value corresponding to a time period which is longer than the time period corresponding to the current value of the latency counter. Thus, the latency counter always maintains a value corresponding to the time period of the activated timer which is the last timer to expire in the system.
A value other than some initial predetermined value in the latency counter indicates that there is at least one activated timer in the system, and that the timers should be scanned. Each time a scanning operation occurs, the value of the latency counter is adjusted toward the predetermined initial value. According to a preferred implementation, the latency counter has a predetermined initial value of zero, some positive value (e.g., corresponding to a number of clock intervals or scanning intervals) replaces the initial value when the latency counter is activated, and the latency counter is decremented by one for each scanning operation. It will be appreciated that numerous insubstantial changes can be made to this preferred latency counter. For example, numerous alternative initial values or activation values can be used, and the latency counter can be incremented rather than decremented by values other than one.
After the latency counter has expired, the system knows that there are no activated timers associated with any device, and no scanning operations are necessary. It will be appreciated that some types of devices may have timers which can be reset from an active state to an inactive state based on events internal to the device or external to the system. To accommodate such devices, the latency counter and system according to the present invention may simply ignore the resetting of any timers, and continue scanning.
Alternatively, in situations where the probability of the presence of an active timer other than the timer to be reset is relatively low (e.g., below a certain threshold), and the number of clock cycles or scanning cycles until the timer to be reset should expire (after the reset) is high (e.g., is above a certain threshold), the latency counter can be updated as follows. First, the latency counter and the timer to be reset are compared in a suitable comparator. If the timer to be reset would expire (after the reset) earlier than the latency counter, then there must be other devices with active timers in the system and the value of the latency counter does not need to be modified. If the latency counter and the timer to be reset are equal, all devices should be checked to see if there are any other active timers. If so, the latency counter should be modified so that its value corresponds to the time when the last active timer will expire.
Referring now to FIG. 3A, a flow chart describing a timer setting method in accordance to the present invention is shown. In step 100, an event occurs which requires a timer to be set. In step 102, the timer corresponding to the device associated with the event is set. In step 104, the value LATCOUNT of the latency counter is adjusted as described above.
Referring now to FIG. 3B, a flow chart describing the steps of a method for scanning timers according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. In step 300, a clock signal is received. In step 302, it is determined whether the value LATCOUNT of the latency counter is equal to a predetermined value (e.g., 0). If LATCOUNT=0, then there are no active timers, and the process returns to step 300. If LATCOUNT≠0, then active timers are present in the system, and in step 304, LATCOUNT is adjusted. In this example, LATCOUNT is decremented by one (i.e., LATCOUNT=LATCOUNT-1). In step 306, a scanning operation is performed over all timers in the system (e.g., using a conventional sequential searching technique), and the presence of expired timers is determined in step 308. If one or more active timers have expired, then the system notifies the appropriate device(s) in step 310, performs necessary operations in step 312, and returns to step 300 to await the next clock signal. If step 308 determines that no active timers have expired, the process returns to step 300 to await the next clock signal.
As discussed above, the present invention has practical utility in a wide variety of applications. A preferred application will now be discussed. Referring now to FIG. 4, a telecommunication system in which the timer scanning method of the present invention can be implemented is shown. The system includes a switch 40, base stations 42 connected to the switch 40 via conventional cables, and a public switched telephone network (PSTN) 44, also connected to the switch 40 via conventional cables. It will be appreciated that, while the PSTN 44 is not involved in this embodiment, the invention is applicable to PSTN networks. As is well known in the art, the switch 40 can be a mobile switching center (MSC), which controls significant resources in the telecommunication system to allow speech, message data, and control data to be exchanged between the base stations 42 and various mobile telephone units (not shown). Included in these resources are digital transceiver module (DTRM) boards, which are typically located in the base stations 42 of a telecommunication system, as shown in FIG. 5. The DTRM boards 46 perform functions such as speech compression and channel encoding of a signal prior to amplification in, and transmission from, a tuner/amplifier 48. A switch capable of handling, e.g., 48,000 mobile telephone calls simultaneously might need approximately 16,000 DTRM boards (i.e., roughly 3 calls per board).
After some period of usage, a fault (such as a faulty integrated circuit chip on the DTRM circuit board, or due to some external disturbance or malfunction) may be detected in a DTRM board. Upon the detection of such a fault, the switch 40 is notified and the faulty DTRM board enters a passive state. Since the fault may be caused by external disturbances such as a power glitch, the switch will wait some predetermined period of time (e.g., using a timer as described above) and then reactivate the DTRM board. If the DTRM board still appears to be faulty, the switch is notified and the board enters a permanent passive state until replaced. In such a system incorporating the present invention, a switch clock with a clock interval of, for example, one second is provided, and a timer is provided for each DTRM board (e.g., roughly 16,000 timers). A latency counter can be used when a fault is detected in a DTRM board. Rather than using system resources (e.g., the switch 40 or other suitable means) to scan every timer each second, the latency counter can save considerable switch processing resources by providing an indication of whether scanning is needed or not. This allows the switch or other suitable timer monitoring means to be used more efficiently.
Referring now to FIGS. 6-8, an alternative application of the present invention is shown. In this example, telephones 501, 502, . . . 50n are connected through switch 52 to a base station 54. Switch 52 includes a transcoder board 56 for performing voice coding. FIG. 7 shows the transcoder board 56 in more detail. Transcoder 56 includes a central processor 57 and a large number of channel processors 58 to handle the large number of calls processed through the switch 52. The switch 52 in this case controls a large number of transcoder boards 56, and must also control the large number of individual channel processors 58 on each transcoder board.
Referring now to FIG. 8, a flow chart describing a portion of the call set-up procedure in the system of FIGS. 6 and 7 is shown. In step 800, prior to call set-up, a first channel processor tests the quality of signal transmission to the base station. If the quality is good (e.g., meets a predetermined threshold), then the switch sets up the call in step 802. If the quality is not good (e.g., does not meet the predetermined threshold), the switch 52 renders unavailable, or "seals", the first channel processor in step 804. The switch 52 then sets a first timer to define the period of unavailability for the sealed processor in step 806. After the timer expires, the switch 52 performs a re-check operation on the first channel processor by testing the quality one or more times in step 808. The switch determines in step 810 if the signal quality is good (e.g., meets the predetermined threshold) for each quality test. If not, the procedure returns to step 804 and the processor remains sealed. If signal quality is good for each test, the "seal" is removed in step 812, and the first channel processor becomes available for use. A typical system might have on the order of tens of thousands of channel processors. A transmission disturbance, while rare, can simultaneously affect a relatively large number of channel processors and cause a relatively large number of timers to be set and scanned according to the present invention.
Other telecommunication applications of the present invention include the monitoring of mobile telephones registered to a particular system. Typically, each active mobile station reports its presence to the system at regular, predefined intervals. If a mobile station does not report its presence at the scheduled time (e.g., because the mobile unit has been switched off or has left the geographic area serviced by the system), the system can set timers associated with non-reporting mobile stations (or software representations thereof) and perform timeout operations (e.g., removing non-reporting mobile stations from a list of active mobile stations) after the timers have expired.
Further alternative applications include systems for scheduling periodic appointments for certain individuals. For example, a timer could be associated with each individual in the database of a dentist's computer. The expiration of each timer would indicate, in this example, that it is time for the associated individual to schedule a dentist appointment.
While the foregoing description includes many details and specificities, it is to be understood that these are merely for purposes of explanation. Therefore, the above description is to be taken as illustrative of the present invention, and is not to be construed as limiting the invention in any way. Numerous insubstantial changes will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined by the following claims and their legal equivalents.

The Mexicans who inhabited Texas before it became a state were similar to the Picos and other tri-racial families in California . Like them, practically all the land and wealth that were once the estates of such families as the Yturrias and the la Portillas, the Espinozas, the Echazaretas and the Garzas have been inherited by descendants whose names are now Wood, Lambert, Power. etc.
According to the Debrett's Texas Peerage, Lawrence & Leonor Wood who live in San Antonio, are the undisputed leaders of Texas society. Interestingly enough, this recognition is due them not only for their enormous holdings and the lavish style in which they entertain but for this very old Mexican lineage (which is, of course, glossed over as Spanish.) From the photographs included, however, I could not help but wonder if this allusion to their ethnic background might not be a necessity since Leonor Yturria Wood's features are somewhat Negroid physical characteristics which, of course, lose their definition if passed off as Spanish.
Since Spanish colonial racial definitions in Texas were as rigorously followed as they were in California, ascertaining the African ancestry of these southern "Spanish" grandees should not prove too difficult or as time consuming as the other examples of passing being investigated.
Other prominent San Antonio families of the late 18th century who have been identified by historians as "mulatto' were those of:

Over MClarke's jazzy, sampled beat, the Lexington, Ky. repper channels the agile, lyrically-driven rhyme style of yesteryear. Former Arista signee Rob Jackson guests, contributing his own retro-informed flows to the final verse. Feeling it?

Academy Award nominees Bill Murray and Laura Linney star in a historical tale that uniquely explores the all-too-human side of one of history's iconic leaders. Blending literate wit and drama, Hyde Park on the Hudson is directed by Roger Michell from a screenplay by Richard Nelson.
In June 1939, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (played by Mr. Murray) readies to host the King and Queen of England (Samuel West and Olivia Colman) for a weekend at the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park on Hudson, in upstate New York - marking the first-ever visit of a reigning British monarch to America. As Britain faces imminent war with Germany, the royals are desperately looking to FDR for U.S. support.
But international affairs must be juggled with the complexities of FDR's domestic establishment, as his wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams), mother Sara (Elizabeth Wilson), and secretary Missy (Elizabeth Marvel) will all play a part in making the royal weekend an unforgettable one.
Seen through the eyes of Daisy (Ms. Linney), Franklin's neighbor and intimate, the weekend will produce not only a special relationship between two great nations, but, for Daisy - and through her, for us all - a deeper understanding of the mysteries of love and friendship.
Hyde Park on Hudson was released December 7th, 2012 and stars Bill Murray, Laura Linney, Samuel West, Olivia Colman, Elizabeth Marvel, Olivia Williams, Elizabeth Wilson, Martin McDougall. The film is directed by Roger Michell.

Received this the other day via email, not sure if they exclusively work with NC residents and businesses but I do know App State is trying to build a program in support of the state's growing wine and beer industry:
Hop Analysis
We also offer rapid analysis for hop growers as hop yards expand across NC. Critical harvest measurements are assessment of moisture content and alpha and beta acid contents. Details can be found on the website at http://wine.appstate.edu/lab.
Contact Lab Coordinator Mr. Rusty Kuhfeld with your sample submission questions (email@example.com, 828-406-6014) or see http://wine.appstate.edu/lab for more information.
Brewed in 2014: Rye IPA, Honey Sage Ale, Belgian Golden Strong, California Common, Bavarian Style Lager, Weizen, Coffee Stout, Gruit, Gale Ale, Isle of Skye Golden clone, Oktoberfest, Rauchbier, Alpha Male IPA & Chocolate Pepper Stout.
Are there any hop varieties that can handle the hot rainy climate of southeastern NC?
I have some Hallertau growing in my backyard. Oddly enough the Cascade never took but the noble hop did -- go figure.
We do have a latitude that will allow for growing, it won't be like it is up north but they will grow.
I have 2 Tettnang and 3 cascades that are going crazy, all first years. Just harvest 5.3 oz (dried) of hops from half of one of the tettnang plants..lol
Granted my soil is nutrient rich due to 30+ chickens and the rain here has been absolutely absurd, but I'd say NC is fine for growing many varieties of hops.
I'm in Chapel Hill and grow hops just fine. I have Willamette, Mt Hood, Galena, Sterling, Magnum, Zeus, and Nugget all doing awesome. My Cascade, Centennial, Fuggles, and EKG aren't thriving as well but still doing fine. They seem to love all of the water!
I'm in Raleigh and have had cascades for the last two years. They do very well. They needed a fair amount of water last summer but this summer I've paid them no attention, and they seem to be thriving.
Anyone in North Carolina notice that homegrown hops here are a bit more vegetative / grassy / herbal than other more northern climates due to the fact that our nights don't really get cold enough?
Haven't had a chance to brew with hops grown in NC. At that I think most of the hop production here is for testing and is done in the mountains out in Madison County. I imagine that climate is better suited to hops.

Fight brews over anti-bribery law as fines jump
Sep 15, 2011, 3:50 p.m.
By Andrew Longstreth
(Reuters) - The Chamber of Commerce has put reshaping a U.S. anti-bribery law near the top of its legislative wish list, setting up a battle pitting the powerful business lobby group against supporters of the statute who say it helps fight corporate corruption abroad.
The 34-year-old Foreign Corrupt Practices Act was lightly enforced in its first two decades but has become a favorite tool of federal prosecutors in recent years. FCPA enforcement hit an all-time high last year as eight companies, including BAE Systems and Daimler AG, reached settlements in separate cases together totaling $1.6 billion.
Lobbying is intensifying amid the prospect that legislation may soon be introduced in Congress to amend the law, possibly as soon as next month. Anti-corruption and human rights groups are opposing changes sought by the Chamber.
"They're trying to take the teeth out of the FCPA," said Heather Lowe, legal counsel at Global Financial Integrity, a nonprofit organization focused on the cross-border flow of illegal money.
The FCPA makes it illegal to bribe foreign officials to obtain business. It's unclear what specific changes to the law will be proposed, though the Chamber of Commerce has argued that the law needs to better define a "foreign official" and companies that form compliance programs should not be held responsible for acts of a rogue employee.
The business lobby group has enlisted some legal heavyweights to help make its case to legislators, including a former U.S. attorney general and a leader of the government task force that investigated Enron.
Critics have argued that the law is an economic drag on U.S. companies and puts them at a competitive disadvantage to foreign rivals that do not face the same exposure.
Supporters say the law does not harm competitiveness. They point out that more than half of the top 10 FCPA fines assessed by the U.S. government were against foreign companies. The FCPA helps level the playing field for American companies, they say.
"We think reducing bribery actually lowers the costs of doing business," said Stefanie Ostfeld, policy advisor for Global Witness, an anti-corruption group.
A group of nonprofit organizations that support the law, including billionaire financier George Soros's Open Society Foundations, are hosting a Congressional briefing on Friday. Panelists are expected to defend FCPA enforcement and criticize changes sought by the Chamber of Commerce.
The panelists will include David Kennedy, director of the Institute for Global Law and Policy at Harvard Law School, and Dan Danielsen, of Northeastern University School of Law. They are expected to frame the debate in terms of whether the United States will continue to lead the world in setting global anti-corruption standards. The Chamber is trying to make the debate in part about jobs and the economy.
Last year, the Chamber's Institute for Legal Reform issued a policy paper, called "Restoring Balance," in which it said some companies were forced into unfair settlements.
The paper proposed five amendments to the FCPA, including a defense for companies that institute anti-bribery compliance programs, a new definition of a "foreign official," and a "willfulness" requirement for corporate criminal liability.

5-10-15-20: Earth's Dylan Carlson
The doom-metal innovator on the music of his life. "Everyone acts like Microsoft and Starbucks put Seattle on the map, but that's totally bullshit. It's music."
By Tom Breihan on February 2, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. EST
Welcome to 5-10-15-20, where we talk to artists about the music they loved at five-year interval points in their lives. Maybe we'll get a detailed roadmap of how their tastes and passions helped make them who they are. Maybe we'll just learn that they really liked hearing the "Robotech" theme song over and over when they were kids. Either way, it'll be fun.
For this edition, we spoke with Earth leader and drone-metal overlord Dylan Carlson, 43.
Lynyrd Skynyrd: "Free Bird"
There was a young couple that lived in the same apartment complex as us and they would babysit me and my twin brother. My guess is they used lots of marijuana, looking back on it. They always seemed to be willing to talk to two five year olds, which most adults don't have much time for. We used to hang out there after school. They must have listened to "Free Bird" a lot, and it just really stuck in my head. I distinctly remember the big, really fast part in the middle with all the solos.
Eagles: "Desperado"
I liked the whole wild west outlaw theme. When I was a kid, from about six to 11, I lived in Germany. We were in an American housing area and the major source of entertainment was playing cowboys and Indians. And fighting the German kids.
Pitchfork: Did you like Westerns as a kid too?
Yeah, my favorite was Once Upon a Time in the West.
Black Sabbath: Born Again
When I was 11, we moved to Texas. That's when I got into my own music and started buying records. At 12, I went to my first rock show: Molly Hatchet and Saxon. The second one was Black Sabbath on the Welcome to Hell tour.
Born Again is the Sabbath album with [Deep Purple's] Ian Gillan singing. I love that record. I always liked Deep Purple, and Gillian is one of my favorite singers. I read somewhere that it's the worst-selling Black Sabbath album of all time, which surprises me. For the first time, I was like, "This new album is coming out; let me go buy it and read about it." And I really liked the cover.
I didn't pay that much attention to Sabbath when it was like the Tony Iommi show. I mean, I love Tony Iommi and all, but it seemed like those records had a different singer every time. They lost a lot.
Pitchfork: Have you ever had any kind of personal interaction with any of the Sabbath people?
No. Sabbath is from Birmingham, England and Tony Iommi supposedly came to a festival we played there once, but I didn't actually see him. The two women who put on that festival are always trying to get the Birmingham City Council to recognize that it's the city of heavy metal and put up a plaque or a statue to acknowledge it.
Pitchfork: That's not a bad idea.
Yeah. Everyone acts like Microsoft and Starbucks put Seattle on the map, but that's totally bullshit. It's music. In fact, music brought more money to Seattle than biotech. But we still have horrible liquor and nightclub laws. Musicians are treated like dirt in Seattle unless you're Jimi Hendrix, who didn't even have anything to do with the city once he left it.
Slayer: Reign in Blood
I bought Reign in Blood on vinyl; it had a lock groove at the end of "Raining Blood" [embedded] that locked on the rain sound. There's so many fast metal bands, but Slayer are just so much better at it. It's hard for me to pick a favorite because Reign in Blood, South of Heaven, and Seasons in the Abyss are the perfect trilogy to me. I go back and forth on which one I like the most depending on what mood I'm in.
Pitchfork: At the time, did Slayer have any influence on your music?
Yeah, definitely. Back then, I was really into King Crimson and the Melvins but I always thought, "What would it be like if there was a riff like in 'Raining Blood', but slowed way down?" I'd always been drawn to that. It's kind of funny; at that time, a lot of bands were trying to be the fastest band on earth.
Spacemen 3: Playing with Fire
That's the double 10" where the tremolo is doing the rhythm, the one with "Suicide". That year was pretty hazy for me, for various reasons. I probably liked the repetition, the lack of drums, the druggy content. Spacemen 3 have a thing they do, and they do it really well. I've always liked certain artists that are kind of obsessional.
Massive Attack: Mezzanine
I was living in L.A., and I had just gotten out of my first rehab. I had some friends that were into the whole dance music thing and I really liked how Mezzanine had heavy guitar stuff and was on the slower side. And I loved "Teardrop" [embedded] because it had the harpsichord and that chick from the Cocteau Twins. That whole album has a weird, dark tinge to it. That year, I was working at a Wherehouse record store in Monterey Park, and my friend and I would listen to a lot of dance music in his car, but none of it had whatever Massive Attack had.
Pitchfork: Is there anything about the process of rehab that made an album like that like more powerful?
Maybe. It was something very new and different to me at the time. One of the other records I really liked from that era was "Electric Mainline" by Spiritualized, which I don't think is a very good rehab record. It's all about the opposite.
Pitchfork: "Teardrop" is the theme to the TV show "House" now, and songs from the record are in a lot of commercials. Is it weird for you to hear it coming back in these different contexts?
Yeah. I wish I liked that show! I mean, you want to see the music that you like get used for something that you might like, too. So that's a bummer, but oh well.
Waylon Jennings: Waylon Live
That was the time I was listening to a lot of Duane Eddy, Danny Gatton, Sonny Sharrock, Miles' In a Silent Way-- a lot of countryish and jazz stuff. And I really liked the way Waylon played guitar. He's just way underrated as a guitar player. He does all the lead stuff.
Pitchfork: After Reign in Blood your picks seem to lean toward atmospheric stuff. One thing about Waylon versus a lot of other old country guys is it that his songs have a certain haunting vibe even though they could be really simple and direct.
Yeah. And that's funny. To me, Slayer and bands of that ilk are more atmospheric. Especially on "Raining Blood", there's the thunder and the lightning and the rain sound. They've always seemed like a cinematic metal band, in a way.
Metallica had some cool imagery and atmosphere on Ride the Lightning, but then something happened and they just turned into this really macho thing. A girl pointed it out to me once about Metallica: their songs don't even admit to the possibility of females existing. It's really masculine energy, and it's all about dudes banging into each other. Compared to Slayer, there's something very stunted about Metallica. There's not a complete picture.
Gateway Trio: Gateway
This album came out in 1975 and it was John Abercrombie on guitar, Dave Holland on bass, and Jack DeJohnette on the drums-- a jazz trio, I guess. There's something weird and countryish about it, too. They have a song called "Back-Woods Song" with the weirdest guitar I've ever heard on it. And I love DeJohnette's use of cymbals. I always like Dave Holland's bass-- he played with Miles Davis on In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew. John Abercrombie played acoustic in this band Oregon; they played Indian-based music mixed with jazz. Their earlier stuff is really good, even if they veered new agey at the end.
I've always really liked improvised music. When I first started Earth, I was more into recording than playing live. Now, I'm the opposite. It seems with major labels and a lot of new music, no one plays their music live. It's all Auto-Tuned and pitch-corrected. To me, that's what's different about the stuff that isn't on majors now.
In the old days, live music was the important thing. And then, as recording technology got better and better, there was a shift. The recording artist was privileged over the live musician. They could create this object that could be sold. That whole idea of creating the perfect song on record, as opposed to playing live, became more important. But it seems like live music is becoming more important now, just like vinyl is coming back. I think people want to see bands that can do their music live. And I like interacting with the crowd and playing in front of people instead of just existing in this object.

Who's Online:
Site Themes!I finally found enough time today to customize some themes for the new version of our software. There are five in total and they are simple, but I hope you all find one that suits you. These should be compatible with all browsers but if you find any bugs, please let me know.
Dark/light themes -basically four different color variations on my favorite theme out of the bunch. With all of these, you can see that we now feature a poll. I will be changing this out about once every couple of weeks, so please send me an e-mail if you have a good idea for a question for the next one!
Simplicity -this is a very plain, high contrast theme designed for the vision impaired, those with very slow connections and anyone else who has computer issues that make it difficult for them to access the other themes. Nothing fancy, but provides functionality for those who might not have it otherwise.
Thanks a bunch, guys!

Hey I'm new here. Nice themes... the dark blue is the best, in my opinion.
Here's a bug report, though. I tried viewed all of the themes, and simplicity was the last one I tried, but when I tried to go back to dark blue, it just stayed on simplicity. I tried twice with no avail. Thanks for any help you may be able to give! :)

Is Aaron on a sugar rush?!
This book is features the next step of Wolverine's first day of classes, and things...get really out of control. And I don't mean normal comic book out of control, I mean SERIOUSLY out of control.
The Good
Ice Man steps it up this issue. Which is good after years of doing nothing. And I guess the art does match the tone of the book.
The Bad
And here I come, being the big mean critic.
The book is a mess. There is TOO much going on and it's making the book far to zany for me to appreciate. We have a total of three threats rampaging through the school, two relationships starting up (I'll get to that in a moment), and just endlessly clustered artwork that you can't make heads or tail about what's going on.
The zaniness of the book feels fake. Frankenstein's with flamethrowers? The Board of Education turning into monsters? "I bout a zoo so I can play hammer the penguins!" This isn't someone trying to buildup a punchline of a whacky scenario, this is just "LOL, look how random I can be!" It's as if an Invader Zim fan took over the book and you can get the idea that it's trying way too hard to be whacky, but ends up feeling fake.
And the other big problem that writers EASILY can annoy me with. I call it "Girls don't matter until a tongue is shoved down their throats." Two female characters are sent into relationships, and you can tell that this would only benefit the male character over the female. Compare what Rachel Summers does this issue to what almost everyone else, and you can see that Aaron falls flat with the female characters. It really is a frustrating cliche when the girl is "Shoved into relationship first, then figure out what they can do later." Again, Pet Peeve of mine.
I know I'm probably going to be the only one bothered by this, but I honestly can't tell whether to like or hate this book. It clearly shows enthusiasm, but I feel that it's out of control. It comes off as a love letter to Iceman at times, to just being "LOL, this would be soooo funny to put here!"
Unless this book can just cool it's heels once in a while, this might be a calamity I might want to avoid in the future.
