Energy inefficient Japanese walls - am I missing something?
I am from Connecticut but am about to build a house in a climate zone 4A section of Japan. I have talked with several Japanese builders and am concerned about the energy efficiency of their building envelope design. Before abandoning local practices, I would like to read GBA readers' opinions to help decide if my concerns are well-founded.
Here is an overview of what I have learned of walls in Japan. The standard Japanese 2x4 wall from outside to inside consists of panels of artificial siding, a 1/2" vented rain screen, house wrap, 1/3" plywood sheathing, a 17" OC 2x4 stud bay insulated with 2" fiberglass batts, polyethylene vapor barrier sheet, and 1/2" sheet rock. Windows are aluminum frame and single pane. Also the amount of wood in the walls make them the polar opposite of advanced framing. 2 photos are attached.
I originally planned to build according to local custom as I assumed the builders would know what was best for the area. However, I later learned that the life expectancy of a newly built Japanese home is 35 years and know first-hand how cold in the winter and hot in the summer they are (most homes are heated with one or several unvented kerosene heaters and there is an air conditioner in each room). I would rather build one house and build it right so my family can live in comfort without exorbitant energy costs. It seems to me that local building practices have too little insulation and I am worried about the interior vapor barrier with air conditioning on during the hot and humid summers. I have raised these concerns with local builders but they have tried to assure me that their methods are correct. Are my concerns well-founded? Would it be advisable to abandon local practices for a more efficient building envelope?

This company build timber frame homes up to energyplus standard:
There are many more in Japan, but this one has the longest record.
You can go to the pre-fab factory and watch your own house being build, taking friends and a camera with you. High quality, but propably not as cheap as the card board house you have described above.

*35 years*?? You might as well buy a trailer.
I thought Japanese culture was far more into durability
than that...

The house you describe is similar to homes that were being built in the U.S. in the late 1950s and early 1960s. You shouldn't put up with such a low-quality envelope.
It's hard to buck the trend here in the U.S., where we have more than our share of builders whose methods are stuck in the past. I don't know if you speak Japanese, but it can be even harder to buck the trend if you are an American in a foreign country where respect for one's elders is honored. Good luck.
I would advise you to follow Hein Bloed's advice and look further into the possibility that somewhere in your area, there are progressive builders who are paying attention to energy efficiency. I hope you discover some.

i think the 35 year issue is more about turnover (e.g. houses making way for taller/denser housing).
historically, japanese walls had no insulation - so i guess 2" fiberglass batts is somewhat of an improvement. there is a small passivhaus community in japan, so there are progressive builders and there is interest - and from what i understand it's grown fairly well since fukushima daiichi.
that being said, when one of the top architects puts together a cold-weather experimental house like this (with no sub-floor insulation and a few inches in the wall/roof) - one gets the feeling a fundamental paradigm shift on wall performance ain't happening.

Thanks Mike Eliason, interesting Japanese structure !
We shouldn't forget the tectonic problems in some places on our planet, lightweight construction can safe lives.
And the still kickin' atomic village responsibel for building legislations, high fuel bills feed the suckers.

The whole-wall R of that stackup at a 25% framing fraction (typical for US 2x4 16" o.c. framing, but nothing like the 8-9 stud stackup in the photo) would run just shy of R6 after thermal bridging, and presumes that there is a tight fitting facer on the batt that faces the remaining 1.5" of air. That compares to roughly R9 whole-wall if the cavity is completely filled with mid-density fiberglass (R13 batts, not R11s, not high density R15s.)
With the rainscreened siding there is no point to the poly sheeting in that climate (other than an air-barrier, if detailed thusly), which would only serve to become a condensing surface during the summer should you air-condition the place, since it's vapor-impermeable. But even moderate air-tightness is a big improvement over pre-1970 construction in Japan, where homes were pretty drafty too.
Traditionally Japanese homes aren't fully heated, and are often point-source heated, making the net-present-value of the energy savings pretty low, but from a comfort point of view It's substantial. I've stayed in Japanese homes in winter of the barely-insulated construction described, as well as homes that were of masonry construction with ~R8-R10 continuous insulation (all located in Kochi prefecture), and the upgrade in comfort was significant, despite the similarly low room temperatures and point-source heating strategy (vented kerosene space heater in the living/family room.) And that's a local climate comparable to the WARM edge of US zone 4.

There was a thread on FHB a few years ago about building a modern house in Japan: http://forums.finehomebuilding.com/breaktime/photo-gallery/building-stic...
Lots of interesting info. The guy had some building experience, so he manhandled the contractors into doing it his way.

K Willets,
Here's a quote from the owner of the house who posted the information on the Fine Homebuilding website: "I think that Japanese carpenters, no matter how good they are with wood, are resolutely stupid when it comes to insulation. This is understandable, from the standpoint of their traditional role as workers in wood alone, and their pride in this. However, for some reason, they have been stuck with the job of insulating, and I think it would behoove them to increase their knowledge."

i believe it is the same around here with most tradesman :)

Thank you for mentioning Sekisui. It is one of the biggest building companies in Japan and I live in one of their newer apartments at the moment (it's like living in a pup tent as far as thermal comfort). They might make houses to the energy plus standard but my guess is they are leaky structures in a mild climate with loads of PV panels. Please point me to any info to the contrary and I would be happy to give them another look. You can read a description of their walls near the middle of the following linked page:
Two thirds down the following linked page in Japanese, they extoll their building envelope's low thermal transmittance of 2.1W/m²k which beats my climate zone's government standard by 0.3W/m²k:
I wasn't sure what 2.1W/m²k meant. I searched a bit and found out that it seems to transfer heat similarly to "double glazed windows with advanced coatings: 2.2 W/m²·K". After living in this apartment, I believe it. See the Wikipedia article on thermal transmittance:
Posted Jan 24, 2013 7:33 PM ET
I was wondering how much R-value would be left in the wall with so much thermal bridging studs instead of insulation and you answered that for me. I toured the 2 largest 2x4 framing companies in the area and they both used solid stacks of 2x4s as headers all the way from the window to the top plate without any space for insulation. I talked to them about advanced framing but they were sure that a house using it would immediately topple over in an earthquake. We are in the one of the most earthquake-safe areas of Japan so I'm not so sure.
Posted Jan 24, 2013 9:07 PM ET
W/m²k is the metric U-value, the inverse of R-value. You have about R-2.7 in English units.

You hit the nail on the head about the difficulty of bucking trends in Japan. There is actually a saying here that "the nail that stands up gets hammered down" which means that conformity is enforced. I can speak Japanese well although I am far from fluent. In my last job, I was the head of research and development for a local mushroom producer. As one of the youngest and newest employees, and as a foreigner, it was much easier to triple their efficiency in some areas than it was to suggest those improvements without ruffling any feathers of my superiors. Being tactful enough requires skills beyond anything I could have imagined back in America.
Last year, I did manage to discuss my house project with Miwa Mori who is the president of an architectural firm which made the first certified passivhaus in Japan. She was the first person I had met in Japan who shares my concerns about energy efficiency in Japanese houses. I originally approached her with a more ambitious house plan and she explained that it would be out of our budget. We have since decided on a small, 600 square foot Tumbleweed house so it may be worth talking to them again.
Here is a link to an interview with Miwa Mori for German TV program, Global 3000:

I have noticed this time and again with Japanese buildings published on ArchDaily.com -- no concern about insulation (or privacy, or waterproofing, or safe stairs, but that's another story). At least among the modern / photogenic projects, it's common to have single glazing, solid concrete walls (exposed inside and out), and some rather iffy waterproofing details for skylights or roof deck spaces. But on the other hand these buildings are generally ultra compact and heated with mini-splits.
Posted Jan 25, 2013 12:20 AM ET
I was in Japan in December and visited a site with over a dozen model homes by Daiwa. I was very surprised when I saw a wall section. There were no thermal breaks in the walls or windows, windows were all metal frames, insulation was pretty loose fill and would settle and I saw no real evidence of good air sealing. The rain-screen and roofing details were good, as one would expect in rainy Japan. They would not let me take a picture. To me the structures didn't seem to be energy efficient but the homes were heated by mini-splits.
The cost of the homes per sq foot were not expensive by American standards and the interior finishing was very nice.
I gather it is true that the homes are designed for a 35 year life but I suspect in reality that they would last as long as an American spec. built home. It is probably some legal definition for mortgage paperwork. I was told that the reason is that the land prices are often multiple times the cost of the building and homes are often knocked down after 20 years or so and new built on the site. I have seen evidence of this on my visits to Japan in the cities but these model homes were 2000 sq feet and over and would never be built in the city.

For what it's worth, I Googled this and found that Precision Panels, according to their website, have been shipping SIPs to Japan since 1996. The link is here: http://www.precisionpanel.com/content.asp?id=24
Posted Jan 25, 2013 3:26 AM ET
Also, try this link: http://housebuildjapan.blogspot.com/2011/10/decided-timber-frame-with-di...
I Googled the phrase [no quotes] "building with SIPs in Japan". Evidently there are people there who have built and continue to build with SIPs. They're expensive here, and I'm sure they're expensive there, but you'd get an energy-efficient earthquake-proof house, for sure.
Posted Jan 25, 2013 3:33 AM ET
Hi Eric !
Here a page from Sekisui explaining the wind proofness of their constructions:
If going with this (or any) company then get everything into a written contract. Including guarantees on performances and even fines for not delivering what was promised/agreed on.
Demand the air blower test being done.
Sekisui have sales people to contact you. These will refer you to a meeting with their engineers.
Write down what you want, incl. the energy usage you want (kWh/a) for this house with it's enrgy supply in this position (heating degree days) as paid for.
Fix this into a contract and see if they are willing to sign, to build it.
This is a normal purchasing method, they are familiar with 'difficult clients'.
Buying a show house is for the show, getting the real thing is down to contracts and controls.
That the building world is now opting for less insulation thickness compared to 20 years ago is normal, economics are important. The price for electric energy is going down, home-made PV now becoming cheaper and fossiles being phased out pricewise and by legislation.
But this shoud not mean leaky, unhealthy and noisy homes.
If you are not familiar with building methods and -phrases (the written contract!) get an independant advisor for the legal part and an independant supervisor for the site.
Good luck!
Posted Jan 25, 2013 11:05 AM ET
Thank you for the two links. I have considered Precision Panel. Then, I read many articles on GBA and decided that although SIPs are more energy efficient than most houses in Japan, they might not be the most cost-effective choice for getting R-40 in the walls and R-60 in the roof. I am starting to think that a double stud wall might be the best way to go because it could use materials that are locally available.
I really like reading the blog from the DIY house in Kyoto. It's nice to see how the whole community is helping out. I have been here for 7 or 8 years now and have found that people here are extremely generous and kind. Plus, they really know how to timber frame.
Posted Jan 25, 2013 6:27 PM ET
Eric: The R-value of a 2x4 edge-to edge is about R3.5 give or take a bit depending on exact species & density. The larger the fraction (often called "framing fraction" in the US) of the wall's total area the studs, plates, fireblocks are, the lower the average "whole wall" R value is, at any center-cavity R greater than R3.5. In the US typical framing fractions on 2x4 construction runs about 25% of the total wall area, and with an R13-R15 center cavity the whole-wall performance is in the R10 range when wood siding is used, a bit less with most other siding types.
But it's the framing fraction and insulation-R that determines just how much of a performance hit you take.
Code required seismic bracing & anchoring does not need to dramatically raise framing fractions in most US locations it is enshrined in code. The key components are tighter specifcation of anchor bolts designed to keep the bottom plates from separating from the foundation, and brackets keeping the studs from separating from the top & bottom plates, usually only at critical junctures like corners or window/door framing. A massive 8-stud post (as in your attached picture) without the metal bracketing tying it to a well-anchored studplate comes apart just as easily as other framing in a earthquake.
The rest of the seismic resilience specs usually include cut-in or other bracing against racking forces, or tighter fastener spacing for some/all of the sheathing, (with sheathing much thicker & stiffer than 8mm plywood (which wouldn't meet code in any part of the US that has building codes, even where there aren't earthquake or hurricane wind issues to deal with.)
Posted Jan 25, 2013 6:32 PM ET
Thank you for the further information about calculating R-value loss due to framing members. With what you told me, I can now make my own rough estimates about R-value losses.
I would really love to use advanced framing (or at least standard US framing) on my build and from what you wrote, it seems that it should be possible with the proper engineering but every one who I have talked to in Japan about it essentially says that I would be building my own tomb. I can do it, but they wouldn't advise it.

David Fienen (provost) played a noon organ recital at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Mankato on June, 16, 2009. The recital was part of a weekly series sponsored by the Sioux Trails Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. His program consisted of works by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (bicentennial anniversary of his birth) and Jan Bender (centennial of his birth). Fienen had sponsored Bender as composer-in-residence and associate organist at Christ Chapel in 1979-1981.
Doug Huff (philosophy) has won the 2009 Mario Fratti-Fred Newman Political Playwriting Contest. Doug's winning play, A Far Shore, was given a staged reading in New York in August. The play is based on the life and work of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, who was one of modern India's founding fathers and surely its most famous untouchable.
Paschal Kyoore (MLLC - French) has published a collection of folk tales titled Folk Tales of the Dagara of West Africa, Vol. 1 (Legon-Accra, Ghana: Qolyns-Skan Publications, 2009).
Douglas Nimmo (music) served as guest conductor for the Bloomington Medalist Concert Band in a performance at the Lake Harriet Band shell in Minneapolis in June. Featured as soloist on two pieces was euphonium player Lee Dummer, a St. Peter native and Gustavus alum (1975) who is a former euphonium soloist with the United States Army Band (Pershing's Own) in Washington, D.C. Nimmo was also a participating artist (as a builder of art furniture) in two recent fine art shows in the Twin Cities: the Edina Art Fair (June 5-7) and the Excelsior Art on the Lake Fair (June 13-14).
Denis Crnković (Russian) was one of 15 college instructors and librarians selected nationwide to participate in the NEH-sponsored seminar "The Re-formation of the Book, 1450-1650." The seminar, which examined how changes in book production, content, and form affected the spread of ideas in early modern Europe, met for a five-week period in Antwerp and Oxford.
Anna Hulseberg and Sarah Monson (both library) co-authored an article, "Strategic Planning for Electronic Resources Management: A Case Study at Gustavus Adolphus College," in the April-June 2009 issue of the Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship.
Brenda Kelly (biology and chemistry) and students Colin Boettcher '09 and Chelsea Koepsell '10 presented the results of their research at the 23rd Symposium of the Protein Society in Boston, Mass., in July 2009. Colin and Chelsea presented a poster titled "Allosteric behavior of monomeric E. coli gamma-glutamylcysteine ligase in the presence of non-substrate analogs." Colin was one of five undergraduate students selected to give an oral presentation at the Undergraduate Student Research session.
Barbara Fister, Julie Gilbert, Anna Hulseberg, and Michelle Twait (all library) attended the American Library Association's annual conference in Chicago in July 2009. Fister and Gilbert presented a session, "Reading Matters: Examining the Role of Recreational Reading in Academic Libraries." Fister also participated in a panel sponsored by the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) Intellectual Freedom Committee, speaking on the "Academic and Intellectual Freedom Climate on Campus." Gilbert and Hulseberg presented a poster session, "From Workflow to Information Flow: Collaborating for Effective Collection Development," and Twait chaired the ACRL Instruction Section's Professional Education Committee.
Sidonia Alenuma (education) published two journal articles this summer. "Making modest strides: The story of Downtown Elementary School (DES)" appeared in International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education (IEJEE). and "Downtown Elementary School (DES): The unique school that juxtaposes both magnet and professional development school programs" was published in US-China Education Review.
Seán Easton (classics) published a review of Gideon Nisbet's Ancient Greece in Film and Popular Culture in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review. The review is available online at http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2009/2009-08-43.html.
Haiku by Horst Ludwig (MLLC - German) appeared on the Asahi Shimbun Network of April 17, May 29, and June 5, 2009. (Asahi Shimbun is a major daily newspaper in Japan.) One of his haiku was also used by Uwe Wenzel, Hamburg, as an introduction to Wenzel's review of the exhibition catalog accompanying the art exhibition Der Mond (The Moon) at the Cologne Wallraf-Richartz-Museum. Also, at a poetry event (an "Aktion") as part of the exhibition ExtraSchicht [extra shift/layer] 2009 Henrichshütte Hattingen at the Industrial Museum Henrichshütte Hattingen, a haiku by Ludwig was one of 24 exhibited to publicize the art of German haiku writing.

News & Announcements
We're Baaack... Welcome to a new academic term, the 148th at Gustavus Adolphus College. With the beginning of a new school year comes Inside Gustavus, a weekly, online, internal newsletter following in the tradition of the Yellow Sheet, GACNI, and other newsletters that have provided news and information to the campus community since the late 1960s. Inside Gustavus will be distributed online each Thursday afternoon except during academic breaks. Here's some technical stuff regarding submissions and publication that you'll want to know:
- How should items be submitted? Fill out an online news submission form (gustavus.edu/news/submit/), click the Inside Gustavus box, and finally click the submit box.
- What is the deadline? All submissions must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on the Tuesday prior to publication. (Due to the Nobel Conference on Oct. 6-7, the deadline for that week's edition will be 4:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5.)
- Who may submit items? Anyone who has pertinent news or information for the campus community. Keep in mind that the newsletter is not a vehicle for personal thank yous or a market for local businesses, and the editor retains the right to edit material and refuse material deemed inappropriate.
- How many times may an item run? Generally, twice, so plan your event and promotion accordingly. Sometimes, we can run an advance notice (perhaps 6-8 weeks out) and then run two closer to the date of the event. Notices of academic processes and deadlines (e.g., the appeal for support letters for tenure candidates below) are exempt from the "two times" rule and can appear additional times upon request.
- When is the newsletter distributed? Each week of the academic year except during Thanksgiving, Christmas, Touring, and Spring breaks.
A New Academic Year... Gustavus begins its 148th academic year with approximately 2,525 full-time students and 50 part-time. Around 630 first-year students are enrolled at the College this fall.
How to Submit a Calendar Item... As we begin a new academic term, the Marketing and Communication staff reminds the community of the process for submitting events for the online College Calendar. Departments, student groups, and individuals may submit events to the online College Calendar to keep the campus updated on events and activities offered throughout the year. By using the online College Calendar as a central location for event announcements, the event will show up in our searchable, online calendar, and it will also show up in various locations on the Gustavus Web.
- Submissions to the calendar can be made by clicking on the following link and entering the appropriate information (date, time, location, event description, sponsor, and contact info): Submit an item. (This can also be found through the Gustavus homepage, clicking on Calendar, Make a Submission, Submit My Event.)
- Once a submission has been made, it will be reviewed and approved by the Office of Marketing and Communication and then posted to the College Calendar. Those who visit the College's homepage will be able to view the Calendar, which includes events for the day, week, and month.
Reminder... The College is officially open on Labor Day, Sept. 7. Employees taking the day off must use PTO or a vacation day.
Letters Sought for Tenure Candidates... The following members of the faculty are currently being considered for appointments with continuous tenure:
- Brenda Kelly (biology and chemistry)
- Michele Koomen (education)
- Karl Larson (health & exercise science)
- San Skulrattanakulchai (math & computer science)
Letters written on behalf of these candidates should be sent to Provost David Fienen and should address the criteria for tenure as stated in the Faculty Manual (see below). Letters are due by Monday, Sept. 28, at 4 p.m. All members of the Gustavus community are invited to submit letters. Candidates will have access to their letters. The specific criteria for tenure are as follows:
- Excellence as a teacher as reflected in quality of and enthusiasm for work, effectiveness of methods, interest in subject matter, concern for student learning, effective advising of students within and outside the major and continued academic preparation and improvement.
- An emerging pattern of professional activities as reflected, for example, by publications, presentations at scholarly meetings or conferences, and, in the arts, by manifestations of creativity demonstrated through exhibits or performances; another example may be involvement in professional and/or public organizations, boards, and commissions related to one's academic fields or college assignments.
- An emerging pattern of involvement in the activities of the College.
- Continuing evidence of sympathy with the aims and purposes of Gustavus Adolphus College as stated in the Mission Statement of the College.
Retirement Reception... Please join the advancement staff for a retirement reception in honor of Nancy Hardesty (former director of advancement services, Institutional Advancement) on Wednesday, Sept. 9, from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. in Linner Lounge.
Emergency Communication Notice... As part of its ongoing and proactive emergency preparedness planning, Gustavus has a multi-layered emergency communication system that enables campus administrators and security professionals to reach out to all members of the Gustavus community within minutes—through phone calls, e-mails, and text messages—with information and updates during unforeseen events or emergencies. To make it most effective, ALL students, faculty, and staff must enter and regularly update their emergency contact information online. To do so, go to the online campus directory at gustavus.edu/gribly. After logging in, click the "Your Profile" tab and proceed to the "Emergency" tab to fill out or change your contact information. All contact information will remain secure and confidential. The system will only be used for emergencies or other unforeseen urgent communications. If you are already in the system, please follow the same steps to make any necessary changes. The system will be tested during the school year; such tests will be announced in advance. Questions may be directed to Director of Campus Safety Ray Thrower (x8888 or firstname.lastname@example.com) or Vice President for Marketing and Communication Gwen Freed (x6355 or email@example.com).
Parking Enforcement... All parking rules and regulations go into effect Tuesday, Sept. 8. Vehicles without a valid parking permit will be ticketed beginning at 7 a.m. on Sept. 8. Parking rules and regulations may have changed, so be sure to read the parking and traffic regulations. A complete list of rules is found at https://gustavus.edu/safety/policies/traffic.php.
*Parking regulation changes:
- Green (employee) and Yellow (commuter) lots are no parking 2 a.m.-7 a.m. Overnight parking is available in the gravel parking lot located across from the football stadium.
- Non-registered vehicles receiving their third parking citation will receive a tow warning. A fourth ticket for non-registration will result in a tow.
- Visitors wishing to park after 2 a.m. must register in the Campus Safety Office with their host and get a visitor parking permit. As always, the visitor parking lot is closed to students and staff at all times (24/7/365).
Parking Restriction This Weekend... Lund Parking Lot will be closed to faculty, staff, and students beginning Friday, Sept. 4, at 11 p.m. and will reopen for campus parking following the First-Year Orientation Square Dance event Saturday night, Sept. 5.
Bicycle Registration... All students, faculty, and staff who wish to park a bicycle on campus must register it with the College. Registration of bicycles is accomplished in person at the Campus Safety Office located in the basement of Norelius Hall Room A35, or you can also register online. There is no fee for registering a bicycle. Bicycles parked on campus must be locked with a chain and padlock or other locking device to a bike rack. Bicycles secured improperly or left unsecured will be confiscated by Campus Safety or Physical Plant personnel. A storage fee of $10 (non-registered) $5 (registered) per day will be applied.
Highway 169 Construction... Major reconstruction of Minnesota Avenue/Highway 169 in downtown St. Peter continues as the academic term starts, with a planned completion by the Thanksgiving weekend. Since traffic must be rerouted differently during different phases of the project, visit the Discover Saint Peter website for up-to date detour information. The College will issue specific routing instructions during special campus events such as New Student Orientation and move-in days, the Nobel Conference, and Homecoming/Family Weekend. For Gustavus-specific information related to the project, visit the Gustavus Highway 169 Construction website.
Gribly Announcement... Since the 2006-07 academic year, the Gribly has been available online to all members of the Gustavus community. The electronic directory offers photos and up-to-date directory information for all current students, faculty, and staff, along with basic and advanced search capabilities. It may be accessed from any of the College website's OnCampus Community pages (the page is displayed when clicking on Current Student, Faculty Member, or Staff Member on the home page). Look for "Gribly" in the left column.
- The electronic version of the Gribly is password-protected and its use restricted to current faculty, administrators, and staff; currently enrolled students and graduates for approximately one year following their graduation; and emeriti faculty and retired staff requesting a password.
- The electronic version is designed to honor all student and employee privacy requests much like the printed version in past years. Therefore, some photos or other information about particular students and employees may not be accessible. (If you are new to the faculty or staff and wish to suppress your photo or home phone number, or if you wish to change your preference, fill out the "Directory Information" form available from the Human Resources Office.)
- With the advanced search features, students can search for faculty by department or building, and faculty can search for students by residence hall, hometown, and even class e-mail aliases. For example, an advanced search will allow individuals to build complete class and student organization photo rosters with a single search.
- Questions about the electronic version, search capabilities, access problems, and the like should be addressed to Bruce Aarsvold (x7020 or email@example.com).
While the online Gribly should cover the great majority of the community's queries, some community members may not have easy access to the College's website at all times, and some others may want or need a record of current enrollment for reference in future years. To handle these and similar situations, a printed version of the Gribly will continue to be produced on demand for departments and offices whose requests have been approved by their vice president, and at a cost of $10 per copy for all others. Copies will be available in about six weeks. To reserve a print copy (if not already included in a vice president's request), click here to print and complete the form and send it to Steve Waldhauser (Office of Marketing and Communication or firstname.lastname@example.com). NOTE: As mentioned above, if you wish to have your photo and/or home telephone number excluded from either version of the Gribly but have not already indicated your wishes, you must complete the bright orange form titled "Directory Information," which is available from the Human Resources Office, as soon as possible.
President's Cabinet Update
At its Sept. 1 meeting, the President's Cabinet discussed last week's Board of Trustees workshop, at which the Board after their review placed the recommendations of Commission Gustavus 150 into three tiers regarding their relative urgency to the future advancement of the College. Members also discussed H1N1 flu planning, which is being coordinated by Heather Dale, director of the Gustavus Student Health Service and interim director of the Counseling Center, and Ray Thrower, director of Campus Safety. Vice President for Admission and Student Financial Aid Mark Anderson reported that the College has reached its goal for the incoming student enrollment and applications for 2010-11 are outpacing previous years. Vice President for Marketing and Communication Gwen Freed updated the group on media coverage of the College, including a local television report on Gustavus's move up eight places in US News and World Report's Best Colleges ranking, released in August.
Chief Financial Officer Ken Westphal reported on a recent positive conference call with Moody's Investors Services. He also commented on the College's current financial position relative to the Board-approved budget for this year. For the benefit of all Cabinet members, he also reviewed College policy with regard to outside vendor contracts and position approval.
Planning and coordination topics included the President's Colloquium on Sept. 2, the arrival of students and Opening Convocation on Sept. 4, and the President's Banquet on Sept. 5. Cabinet members reviewed possible dates for student groups to visit the President's home this academic year. Other topics included use of the President's Suite to host friends of the College and others at home football games this season and the itinerary for the branding firm BD&E's visit to campus this week.
Campus Happenings

Kendall Center for Engaged Learning, the Office of the Provost, and the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations.
Reading in Common... Enrique's Journey, by Sonia Nazario, is the College's Reading in Common book for the 2009-10 academic year. All first-year students are expected to have read the chosen book during the summer and will meet with faculty members and upperclass students during New Student Orientation to discuss it. New Student Orientation is also loosely based around the themes found in the book. In 2003, author Nazario, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing for her work on the multi-part newspaper series Enrique's Journey. She expanded on her newspaper series and published the book in 2005. The story details how a Honduran boy, by clinging to the tops and sides of freight trains, made the long, dangerous, and illegal journey through Mexico into the United States to find his mother, who had left him when he was five. Nazario will visit Gustavus in late September and will deliver a lecture in Alumni Hall on Monday, Sept. 28, at 7 p.m. Related events are scheduled in St. Peter and on campus during the week preceding her lecture; watch for more information. Copies of Enrique's Journey are available for purchase in the Book Mark. Also, the Kendall Center has announced that it is able to provide copies of the book to the first 50 full-time faculty members who request it; call Cathy Blaukat (x6227) to see if any remain.

Sait, Sadiq M. and Ali, Mustafa I. and Zaidi, Ali Mustafa Evaluating Parallel Simulated Evolution Strategies for VLSI Cell Placement. Evaluating Parallel Simulated Evolution Strategies for VLSI Cell.
| PDF 174Kb |
Simulated Evolution (SimE) is an evolutionary metaheuristic that has produced results comparable to well established stochastic heuristics such as SA, TS and GA, with shorter runtimes. However, for problems with a very large set of elements to optimize, such as in VLSI placement and routing, runtimes can still be very large and parallelization is an attractive option. Compared to other metaheuristics, parallelization of SimE has not been extensively explored. This paper presents a comprehensive set of parallelization approaches for SimE when applied to multiobjective VLSI cell placement problem. Each of these approaches are evaluated with respect to SimE characteristics and the constraints imposed by the problem instance. Conclusions drawn can be extended to parallelization of other SimE based optimization problems.

Perspectives on where our world is heading from a vantage point in Denver, Colorado.

Musical Illusion
They have found a way to convert an organ playing in Finney Hall at Oberlin College (a space and instrument with which I am intimately familiar) and make it sound as if it were played in Chartres Cathedral in France.

I saw from Technorati that you had linked to this post.
Are you familiar with the recording? I'll happily forward to you the particulars if you're interested.
I'd love to see the instrument in person. I've toured the Fisk shop some years ago, and have an acquaintance who works there (and must have worked on this instrument).

On December 15, 2011, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau or CFPB) issued a bulletin announcing its program to collect whistleblower information and law enforcement tips, stating that it "welcomes information from current or former employees of potential violators, contractors, vendors, and competitor companies." Through an active outreach campaign, including press releases and public pronouncements, the Bureau has made it clear that obtaining information from whistleblowers will be a central component of its enforcement efforts. Indeed, in the press release accompanying the bulletin, Richard Cordray, current Director of the Bureau and then-Assistant Director of Enforcement, stated: "We are providing whistleblowers and other knowledgeable sources with a direct line of communication to the CFPB….Their tips will help inform Bureau strategy, investigations, and enforcement. And they will help us fulfill our commitment to consumers." Whistleblower protections are not new, and the CFPB's protection joins several other governmental whistleblower programs from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and Department of Justice (DOJ). Confronted with a new, expansive class of potential whistleblowers, financial institutions need to understand how the Bureau's whistleblower protections work and develop best practices to reduce the risk of incurring penalties—reputational and monetary—resulting from whistleblower actions.

New York - After succumbing to pressure, Nick Santino, a soap opera actor, was so distraught about having, Rocco, his healthy pit bull mix euthanized Tuesday, that he commit suicide from remorse, devastation, and depression.
Santino, who appeared on All My Children and Guiding Light, was found dead by police in the bedroom of his NY condo, on what was his 47th birthday. It appears he died from a pill overdose.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is a genetic disease which affects cats, dogs, pigs and people. How it is passed on in generations is still not clearly discovered. Since the 1970's it is known that HCM is the common cause for heart failure, thrombus and sudden death in cats. A major study has been done on Maine Coon cats in the USA which indicates that HCM in these cats seems to be inherited by a single dominant gene.
HCM is characterized by an abnormal thickness of the heartmuscle, mainly at the height of the left side of the heart. Because of the thickening of the heartmuscle the heart becomes less elastic, through which the heart can fill itself less easy. A second consequence is that there is less space for the blood left in the left ventricle, which causes a smaller amount of blood to be pumped around at each heartbeat than normal. The thick heartmuscle can create turbulence in the blood, or the leaking of some valves. This can then cause a heartmurmur, which can be heard by a vet with a stethoscope. Cats with HCM can get fluid in or around their lungs which can lead to difficult breathing. Other animals may show no signs at all, but they can suddenly drop dead, mostly because of a sudden very severe rhythm disturbance. Some cats develop blood clots that may cause paralysis of the hind legs. HCM is not a congenital defect, but a disease that develops very slowly. Cats that have HCM very often show no signs before they are six months old, and it can take several years before you can make a diagnosis of HCM. Therefore you must have a specialist performing an echocardiography report on several occasions. The Swedish Maine Coon Cat Club has worked out a HCM health programme starting on 1 January 2004. Since June 2010 this health programme is administered by PawPeds. All breeds are welcome to join the programme. Is there a cure?Unfortunately HCM can not be cured, but affected cats can be treated with medication. Depending on the symptoms of the animal and the state of the heart, diurectics, beta-receptor antagonists and/or ACE-inhibitors will be used. How is a HCM test performed?The cat is examined using an ultrasound machine (echocardiographic test) where you can see if there are any abnormally thickened parts, how the heart beats and how the blood flows. The examination is painless and is usually tolerated very well by the cats. If the cat feels uneasy, it would be better giving the cat a slight sedation (injection) as it is important that the cat lies still on the examination table. Sometimes it is necessary to shave the cat a little just on the spot where it is going to be examined. In other cats it works very well just spreading the fur apart without having to shave. In order to get good contact with the cats skin and also a good picture of the examined area jelly is being used. The examination lasts for about 30-40 minutes.

Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is a rare neuromuscular disease with slowly progressive weakness in voluntary muscle movement. PLS belongs to a group of disorders known as motor neuron diseases. PLS affects the upper motor neurons (also called corticospinal neurons) in the arms, legs, and face. It occurs when nerve cells in the motor regions of the cerebral cortex (the thin layer of cells covering the brain which is responsible for most higher level mental functions) gradually degenerate, causing movements to be slow and effortful. The disorder often affects the legs first, followed by the body, trunk, arms and hands, and, finally the bulbar muscles (muscles that control speech, swallowing, and chewing). Symptoms include weakness, muscle stiffness and spasticity, clumsiness, slowing of movement, and problems with balance and speech. PLS is more common in men than in women, with a varied gradual onset that generally occurs between ages 40 and 60. PLS progresses gradually over a number of years, or even decades. Scientists do not believe PLS has a simple hereditary cause. The diagnosis of PLS requires extensive testing to exclude other diseases. When symptoms begin, PLS may be mistaken for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or spastic paraplegia. Most neurologists follow an affected individual's clinical course for at least 3 to 4 years before making a diagnosis of PLS..

Clayton News Daily
By Ed Brock
The man arrested in connection with the death of a Forest Park woman appeared agitated and talkative as he made his first appearance in Clayton County Magistrate Court. In the few statements he made during his first appearance Wednesday Franklin Hudson Jr., 33, seemed to be saying that police were trying to charge him with the murder of 48-year-old Ramatoulie Demba whose body was found Sunday in her home on Boca Grande Boulevard. Hudson was charged with theft by receiving following his arrest Monday night. Investigators say Hudson was in possession of a car stolen from the home of Demba. After telling Clayton County Magistrate Judge Keith Scott that he did not expect to make the $10,000 bond set in the case, Hudson began talking to Scott about his case. "I feel like they're trying to take this case to another level," Hudson said. Scott reminded Hudson that he had the right to remain silent and urged him to use that right. Following that, as Hudson was filling out the paperwork to apply for a court-appointed attorney, he turned to television and newspaper photographers who were standing nearby and told them not to take his picture. A bailiff approached Hudson, whispered in his ear, and then Hudson fell silent. Hudson was arrested at the Chamblee Inn on Old Dixie Highway after an off-duty police officer working at the motel told investigators that he had seen Demba's car enter the parking lot that evening. The investigators questioned Hudson and four other people who were in the same room as Hudson but arrested only Hudson, Clayton County Police Capt. Tim Robinson said. Hudson was not a registered guest at the hotel. Robinson said Hudson told investigators that he got the car from somebody else. That explanation wasn't satisfactory for Pateh Mbowe who once worked with Demba at National Car Rental. "If it wasn't him then he needs to give us more information," Mbowe said. "I don't know how dumb you want to be, driving a stolen car." Mbowe said he had supervised Demba, an immigrant from Gambia, for four years at the car rental company and had kept in touch with her after she left the company about three months ago. He had been talking to her the week before her death, helping her with her resume. "She was phenomenal. She was the kind of individual who made friends easily no matter where she went," Mbowe said. "She didn't deserve this. Nobody deserves this but especially not Rama." Mbowe, who came to the courthouse for Hudson's hearing, said he had faith in the system and he would let the Clayton County police "do what they do." "We'll wait and see what happens," Mbowe said. Demba was buried Tuesday at the Muslim cemetery in Lovejoy. Mbowe said Demba's family back in Gambia, including her mother and son, were in "great sorrow" but he didn't know if they would come to America. In a search of the car investigators found a purse in the trunk that had no credit cards in it, but they could not confirm if the purse belonged to Demba or if it had contained credit cards. A friend of Demba, Nakiesha Laville of Riverdale, went to Demba's house on Sunday to return some borrowed luggage and found the body. Demba lived alone. Officers on the scene reported a jewelry box was open on Demba's bed, items appeared to have been moved on a dresser and a chest of drawers had been moved away from the wall and its drawers were open. Because of the decomposition of the body, police suspect she had died long before her body was found, Robinson said.More like this story

Reader: The legislature bans concealed weapons, so why can't colleges?
Yesterday, Kelsey Whipple wrote about a petition from CU Denver philosophy professor Chad Kautzer to prohibit concealed weapons from state campuses. Our readers responded by debating the pros and cons of the concept. Here's a post citing four reasons to consider such a ban, with one point rules legislators have approved for themselves.
mraufklarung writes:
Here are a few things to keep in mind: (1) There is no evidence that more guns make environments safer; (2) The Colorado legislators obviously agree with this, since they ban concealed weapons where they work (why aren't gun advocates screaming at them?); (3) Antonin Scalia argued in District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment should not be read "to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings;" and (4) Criminals are not a different species; they are people who break the law. Having a concealed carry permit does not somehow prevent one from breaking the law (unfortunately!)

We plan on also putting down wood in the hallway so the rooms all flow together. Our question...we don't want put wood in the kitchen due to cost and function. Any suggestions on what flooring would look nice when it meets the wood hallway? We like the look of natural materials and are working within a stricter budget. Is it appropriate to have a grey stone-looking laminate/vinyl/etc. meet the brown wood hallway floor, or would that look funny?

Other Flooring in Kitchen
We are finding under the old carpet is hard wood floors pretty much throughout the house, except the hallway and kitchen. We plan on exposing the wood in our complete house renovation.
wood is not a color,everything go's with wood. you just have to like it. ceramic tile,which you can buy for as low as .69 from your local home center,would be the best choice. they also have class's on how to install it yourself. its easy just follow the basic steps. pulling up the old flooring may be hard. good luck
