Motivation Makes the Difference
This week I want to share some words of inspiration with you that have meant a great deal to me over the years. There was a time when I was a brand-new, rookie member of the fire service. Like many new members of the service, my career could have gone in a number of directions. I am sure that you have experienced these decisions through the years as to which path you should follow.
It has been my experience that the people who surround you influence you more than you will ever know at the time. Back during my time in the Training Division in Newark we used to say that the primary influence on the probationary firefighters we turned loose at the end of recruit training came from the first company officer for which they worked. A good captain would always have a positive influence on the troops. The opposite was also sadly true.
As you might imagine, I have devoted a great deal of time over the past 39 years to the process of learning, both as a learner and teacher. Perhaps this bent for learning came about as a result of the emphasis my parents placed on learning, or perhaps it was some force within my inner spirit. There are also the memories I cherish of the teachers who really took the time to kick my butt and make me do my best.
There is also the possibility that successful people in my hometown created an atmosphere where success was seen in terms of the acquisition of knowledge. In reality, it is probably some combination of all the above influences. However, I would like to share a story about what I feel is an integral part of my success as a fire service person. It took me a lot of years to come to understand this influence, so it is critical for me to share it with you.
Along the way, I have accumulated a wide range of experiences. Thanks to the U.S. Air Force (Uncle Sam Airlines), I was able to learn my trade at one of the finest fire schools in the world, the U.S.A.F. Firefighting School. Back in the far-away days of 1966 this school was located at Chanute Air Force Base in Illinois. I was blessed with a wide variety of assignments that took me to places I might well never have visited. I was allowed to hone my firefighting skills in such widely disparate areas as the Arctic region of Alaska, and the steamy climes of Vietnam and the Philippine Islands. Oh, and they also sent me to Arkansas.
It was during the first 18 months of my Air Force career, which were spent near Fairbanks, Alaska, that I received an early appreciation for experience based upon a solid foundation of knowledge and education. The Superintendent of the Eielson Air Force Base Fire Department back in those times was Chief Master Sergeant Joseph Haider, a man well known throughout the Air Force Fire Service.
A long-time Air Force firefighting veteran, Chief Haider had probably long-since forgotten more than many of his contemporaries had ever bothered to learn. He was a stickler for discipline and a firm believer in the gathering of knowledge. He had a carrot and stick approach to making sure that we all progressed through the On-the-Job (OJT) Training program used by the Air Force at that time. During my time, I felt both the carrot and the stick.
When we young lads arrived at Eielson from fire school, we were school-trained apprentice fire protection specialists (57130-level troops for you old USAF types out there). As was the practice at Eielson Air Force Base at that time, we were immediately enrolled in the OJT program with the goal being to reach our journeyman skill-level as quickly as possible.
The carrot Chief Haider used in motivating us involved the granting of our Kelly Day. Back in those days the Air Force Fire Service worked a 72-hour shift schedule, 24 hours on and 24 hours off. The Kelly Day was an extra shift of time off granted every two weeks. This allowed for a three-day break from our station duties. As a motivational tool, newly assigned fire personnel were not allowed to have our Kelly Day until we upgraded to the higher journeyman skill level. He apparently had the solid backing of our squadron commander. So the carrot and the stick were one in the same: time off.
While this may seem like a harsh treatment, in light of the working schedules for many fire departments today, it really had a strong motivational impact. This was particularly true for the married first-term personnel who were not eligible for on-based housing and had to commute out to the base from Fairbanks every other day.
There were no living quarters for them on base, so if they wanted to bring their wives up to live with them, they had to rent in town. These men would be on the road every day, going one way or the other, regardless of the weather, which, as you might imagine, ran the gamut from bad to worse during the winter. Therefore, the three-day break was a tremendously valuable commodity.
All of us in the December 1966 arrival group made the upgrade to our 5-level in minimal time. Then most of made our first promotion soon thereafter, also in minimal time. This did not seem odd to any of us, because every one of us was going through the same positive experience. I personally thought nothing of making Sergeant in less than two years, because so many of us did it together.
Little did we know at the time just how important this positive, goals-oriented environment would be to our future success in the service? It was not until much later, when I moved to other air bases and ran into buddies who had served at other stations, that the value of Chief Haider

Targa, Union Force or Relay Pros??
Which of these bindings would suit best? Rome Targa(a fav here), Union Force or the Salomon Relay Pros. Would particularly like to hear from those who've tried & tested them.
Im currently more of a intermediate freerider but would like to get into some freestyle & park eventually. So maybe a 60/40 freeride/freestyle & park. Boots - DC Rogue Boa Sz 9. |

i know im going to get bashed here. everyone is obsessed with the 390s around here, i love rome, my headroom is my favorite board ive ever owned, but the 390s aren't cutting it for me. i cracked the base of them, broke the straps numerous times, rome has good customer service but i was not satisfied with the bindings. the salomon relays have that flexible heel cup, if that was such a great invention i think other companies would use them. i have beat the hell out of a pair of union forces and maybe im just lucky but the rachets, straps, plates, everything has held up for a long time. by the way salomon has shitty customer service. cant speak on the targas but id like to try them.

I tried installing a new Sigma Sport cyclocomputer on my bike, but when I put it on the Fox shock, it didn't register when I rotated the front tire. It did not appear that I could get the distance between the adapter on the shock and the piece on the spoke down to under 5 mm which is what the booklet said. Has anyone here experienced similar problems? I have these installed on two of my other bikes and they work fine. This is the first time this has happened.

Madrona, Seattle
Madrona is a mostly residential neighborhood in east central Seattle, Washington. It is bounded on the east by Lake Washington; on the south by E. Cherry Street, beyond which is Leschi; on the west by Martin Luther King, Jr. Way, beyond which is the Central District; and on the north by E. Howell Street, beyond which is Denny-Blaine.
The neighborhood's main thoroughfares are E. Union and E. Cherry Streets (east- and westbound), Madrona Drive (northwest- and southeast-bound), and 34th Avenue and Lake Washington Boulevard (north- and southbound). It is home to Madrona Park and the 34th Avenue and E. Union commercial area.
The neighborhood was named by John Ayer, who contributed the land for Madrona Park, after a species of tree (Arbutus) common to the area.
Madrona's motto, "The Peaceable Kingdom," reflects its racially-mixed heritage. In the early 20th century, the coal mining industry brought Chinese immigrants to Madrona. Later, the shipbuilding boom brought an influx of African Americans. For most of the second half of the 20th Century, 34th Avenue divided the neighborhood between mostly middle-class African American (to the west) and upper-class Caucasian (to the east). The Black Panthers used the Madrona Playfield on Spring Street and 34th Avenue as its marching drill location in Seattle [1].
In more recent years, as the neighborhood has gentrified, Madrona has been steadily returning to a more Caucasian demographic. The 2000 Census notes that, of the 5,097 residents in King County Census Tract 78 (covering Madrona east of 31st Avenue), 72% are Caucasian (up from 65% in 1990), 20% are African American (down from 29% in 1990), and 4% are Asian (roughly unchanged from 1990). Census Tract 77, two-thirds of which is in the Central District, has a significantly higher percentage of African American residents.

I have noticed in the last two days that a lot of my posts have been edited. Noobz knows the reason behind the one we spoke about. But some posts in the Funny Pictures thread were edited and the pictures were not at all offensive or against the rules. Also some in the Derailers thread and a few others. Also a lot of other people's threads have been edited. Why is this happening. No one is telling us a damn thing about it at all. No reply about it or even a PRIVATE CONVERSATION about why this is being done. Seriously? This is ridiculous. Someone need's a slap across the face.
No idea what happened to your posts.....but thanks for blaming me for it. Moved to feedback/testing zone.
I don't know of anyone going through and editing thread in either of those two threads. The ones that are removed from public view have the comments posted in them for the staff to read and are frankly, none of your business. Let me know when you feel the urge to get to the slapping portion. You're somehow under the impression that you're owed some sort of explanation by a staff member that's made a decision about what's best for the forum. I find that interesting. We screw around a lot in forum (not me of course but some do ), but it is after all a Mustang forum. If something is posted that someone on staff thinks is over the line, then it's not owed to you to explain the thought process. That's not his/her job (although they can if they like). It's his/her job to do what is best for the board and ensure that things continue to run smoothly. Now if you have a specific instance to complain about, I'd recommend PMing a staff member with the link and a description of the problem. You're more likely to get a helpful response or resolution.

The story of a stack overflow during Coq extraction
- July 1, 2012
I routinely extract my Coq development into an executable I can test and benchmark. However, on one fateful afternoon, the extraction process failed with a stack overflow. I had to dive deep into the code. This is the fable of how things went right and wrong, moral of the story included.
While I was working on the new version of my alias analysis proof, I got back to a point where I could extract the code, having admitted some proofs for later. I did so to make sure I had the last version of the executable, and ran the usual make command, but that's when things went wrong. Here is what I saw:
$ make all -j4 [...] coqtop -I lib -I common -I ia32/standard -I ia32 -I backend -I cfrontend -I driver -batch -load-vernac-source extraction/extraction.v [...] Stack overflow.
Now, that is not quite the enlightening error message. I had almost no way of finding out more about this without hacking into Coq. So I fired up my favorite editor and tried to turn this:
(* coq-8.3pl4/toplevel/cerrrors.ml *) | Stack_overflow -> hov 0 (str "Stack overflow.")
into the hopefully more helpful:
| Stack_overflow -> hov 0 (str (Printexc.get_backtrace ()))
I also quickly hacked the Makefile, adding OCAMLRUNPARAM=b
, -byte
, -debug
and adding verbosity to the Vernacular load command:
COQEXEC=OCAMLRUNPARAM=b coqtop $(INCLUDES) -byte -debug -batch -load-vernac-source-verbose
Re-compiled Coq, re-ran the extraction, to get to the following result:
Raised at file "format.ml", line 194, characters 15-26 Called from file "format.ml", line 420, characters 8-33 Called from file "format.ml", line 435, characters 6-24
Meh. That is not quite interesting. format.ml is OCaml's pretty-printing module, which unfortunately uses exceptions for its control-flow. It seems that we've run in the infamous problem of the overwritten stack trace. Luckily, having added the debug flag resulted in an additional line appearing in the output:
Vernac Interpreter Executing command Raised at file "format.ml", line 194, characters 15-26 [...]
Searching for this led me into:
(* coq-8.3pl4/toplevel/vernacinterp.ml *) let call (opn,converted_args) = let loc = ref "Looking up command" in try let callback = vinterp_map opn in loc:= "Checking arguments"; let hunk = callback converted_args in loc:= "Executing command"; hunk() with | Drop -> raise Drop | e -> if !Flags.debug then msgnl (str"Vernac Interpreter " ++ str !loc); raise e
Haha! Looks like my exception went through that catch-all handler and has been
re-raised after printing that line. This might well be the line that called
into format.ml
. Anyway, here's my chance to print the stack trace before it
gets overwritten:
| e -> Printexc.print_backtrace stdout; if !Flags.debug then msgnl (str"Vernac Interpreter " ++ str !loc); raise e
Let's try that:
Raised by primitive operation at file "hashtbl.ml", line 58, characters 10-28 Called from file "hashtbl.ml", line 58, characters 10-28 Called from file "hashtbl.ml", line 58, characters 10-28 Called from file "hashtbl.ml", line 58, characters 10-28 [... around 1000 such lines]
Now this was more interesting! Back into OCaml's hashtbl.ml
around this line:
(* ocaml-3.12.1/stdlib/hashtbl.ml *) (*49*) let resize hashfun tbl = (*50*) let odata = tbl.data in (*51*) let osize = Array.length odata in (*52*) let nsize = min (2 * osize + 1) Sys.max_array_length in (*53*) if nsize <> osize then begin (*54*) let ndata = Array.create nsize Empty in (*55*) let rec insert_bucket = function (*56*) Empty -> () (*57*) | Cons(key, data, rest) -> (*58*) insert_bucket rest; (* preserve original order of elements *) (*59*) let nidx = (hashfun key) mod nsize in (*60*) ndata.(nidx) <- Cons(key, data, ndata.(nidx)) in (*61*) for i = 0 to osize - 1 do (*62*) insert_bucket odata.(i) (*63*) done; (*64*) tbl.data <- ndata; (*65*) end
There is our stack overflow: it seems that we're trying to resize a huge bucket in a non-tail-recursive fashion. Not ideal... These buckets serve two purposes in OCaml's hash table implementation. One is the usual collision list, where a bucket contains all the elements of keys whose hashes collide; exhausting the stack with hash collisions is very unlikely if the hash function is good. It could be a bug caused by a faulty user-defined hash function, that has trivial collisions in some cases.
The second one is less well-known, occasionally helpful but otherwise
irritating: the Hashtbl
module implements multiple bindings, that
is the association of a single key with several values. If you call
Hashtbl.add k v
and the key k
is already bound in the table, the
old binding is not lost, but a new binding to v
is added on top of
it. Hashtbl.remove k
will only remove the newest binding, restoring
the previous one. One can access all bindings with Hashtbl.find_all
only returns the last one), and Hashtbl.iter
, Hashtbl.fold
and Hashtbl.length
will consider all bindings of each key. If you
call Hasthbl.add
too much on a single key, you may fill its
corresponding bucket. If you don't care about multiple bindings, you
should use Hasthbl.replace k v
instead, which removes the earlier
binding if present. So there may be an issue with the use of
where Hashtbl.replace
should have been preferred; or,
if an application really needs a lot of multiple bindings, maybe it
should switch to a dedicated data structure such as hashtables of
lists of values.
Now, let's try and see where this might be called. Of course, no code in Coq
calls resize
, since it is not exposed in hashtbl.mli
. The possible suspects
are thus Hashtbl.add
and Hashtbl.replace
. Grepping for these two gives back
lots of results, but with some flair, one can guess which ones are worth
inspecting. In particular, these two seem to be just in the right folder:
plugins/extraction/common.ml: (Hashtbl.add h, Hashtbl.find h, fun () -> Hashtbl.clear h) plugins/extraction/common.ml:let add_visible ks l = Hashtbl.add (top_visible ()).content ks l
A quick-and-dirty way to check that is to wrap the function like this:
(fun k v -> Printf.printf "foo\n"; Hashtbl.add h k v)
Indeed, the first one was the culprit. Now, here come the good and the bad news. First, the bad, let's see that line of code in context:
(* coq-8.3pl4/plugins/extraction/common.ml *) let mktable autoclean = let h = Hashtbl.create 97 in if autoclean then register_cleanup (fun () -> Hashtbl.clear h); (Hashtbl.add h, Hashtbl.find h, fun () -> Hashtbl.clear h)
This rather generic hashtable-making-function is called in three places in that file, and it is not quite obvious to guess which caller is important, by whom it is called, and where the returned closures are evaluated.
The good news is: we don't need to know this to fix that bug! Indeed, the bug
can be fixed right here, and abstraction can guarantee that the fix is sound!
Here is the trick (credits to Gabriel Scherer for noticing this first): since
the hash table created is closed over, but never returned by mktable, the hash
table may only be handled via the three closures mktable returns. In
particular, it only returns handles to Hashtbl.add
, Hashtbl.find
. Hashtbl.add
is the only function that can fill the buckets,
and, the other two functions are oblivious to multiple bindings. In other
words, we can replace the call to Hashtable.add
by a call to
, whose semantics is to replace the binding in place in the
bucket rather than stacking a new binding, and we know that this change will be
semantically transparent in the entire program!
Had Hashtable.find_all
been exposed -- or any other function observing
multiple bindings -- it could have been unsafe to do this: these
closures would have been semantically affected by the change, and we
would therefore need to check first that the callers of mktable makes
no use of these functions.
This fix proved successful, the extraction process went well. As a side track,
I tried to understand what caused the outstanding number of calls to
to happen. It was painful, all I know for now is that it seems to
happen in a dry run of Coq's extraction, where some functions keep track of the
context to see what's in scope at every definition point in a signature:
(* coq-8.3pl4/plugins/extraction/ocaml.ml *) and pp_module_type params = function (* [...] *) | MTsig (mp, sign) -> push_visible mp params; let l = map_succeed pp_specif sign in pop_visible (); (* this calls Hashtbl.add if some conditions hold *)
As to why it blows up, I haven't figured it out. It seems that the same thing
is being popped many times, leading to the construction of the long collision
list and the eventual stack overflow. It would be good to fix this too, but
that's not my concern at the moment. I am not even sure how to reproduce this
bug: I guess one needs a big file with several Module Type
s and Module
but the exact conditions still elude me.
A bug report with an attached one-liner patch has been submitted to the Coq bugtracker. An existing bug report has been updated with a proposed patch in the OCaml bugtracker. This one is more questionable (is it a bug or a feature?), since the fix makes resize a bit slower and only delays problems for as long as it can shrink buckets to a size that doesn't overflow the stack, since some other sub-functions of the Hashtbl module are also non-tail-recursive.
To conclude, some lessons learned (or rather, recalled) from all this:
Abstraction can help! Encapsulation of data structures behind a restricted interface can make invariants clear to your "customers". I still don't know why the bug was triggered, yet I have fixed it already with confidence in the fact that it cannot change the "observable" behavior of the affected client code.
Catch-all exception handlers are annoying when they hide away details that end-users might want to know. Furthermore, code that may use exceptions for control-flow should be avoided early in the exception-handling process, unless you backed up the backtrace already.
On big input, you'd rather make your recursive functions tail-recursive. Some of the OCaml documentation makes it quite explicit whether functions are tail-recursive or not, which is a good thing to know.

To date, the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William have visited Singapore, Malaysia, and the Solomon Islands, and while Catherine may be far from home, she hasn't strayed a bit from her favorite British fashion labels. Kate's worn custom looks in modest cuts like Jenny Packham's pink pleats (hand-painted by De Gourmay, the designer told us) and icy blue lace from Temperley. Check out the below gallery of Kate Middleton's tour looks thus far. And stay tuned for more!

What we've done with the iPhone is we've made it so that it will automatically switch to a known Wi-Fi network whenever it finds it. So you don't have to go hunting around, resetting the phone, flipping a switch or doing anything. Most of us have Wi-Fi networks around us most of the time at home and at work. There's often times a Wi-Fi network that you can join whether you're sitting in a coffee shop or even walking along the street piggybacking on somebody's home Wi-Fi network. What we found is the combination is working really well.
"Known Wi-Fi Network" please explain. I would not want my phone connecting to some wireless access point, especially if I will be purchasing products online or viewing my bank details.
"PiggyBacking on somebody's home Wi-Fi Network" .....so...... Apple thinks this is ok?

Maryann Thomas shares her rich encounters at London School of Economics.
Expectations are high for any student who travels overseas to study. I landed at Heathrow airport and stood in immediate awe of London's cosmopolitan bustle, ready to start my Masters in Media & Communication at the London School of Economics & Political Science.
In place of brilliant architecture, creeping ivy-covered walls and a sprawling campus, expected of a "university," the LSE campus is scattered across a row of adjacent buildings in Central London. While you will quickly learn to get about town via the robust tube and bus system, the one thing that might catch you unawares is the infamous British weather — drizzles, grey skies and occasional sunshine.
You can opt to live in the university accommodation which is the relatively affordable option, considering London is one of the most expensive cities in the world. On my first day, I was taken aback to find that I was mistakenly roomed with a guy. It turned out that he had studied in my home city at IIT-Chennai! Once I got that situation fixed, I was then roomed with a Singaporean girl, with whom I had my own share of 'cultural differences.'
Each course I took had a lecture and seminar, spread over 10 weeks of each semester. Daily readings had to be done before each lecture, while the latter encouraged us to discuss what we heard at the lecture. Each course had either an exam or essay submission which would determine our grades. As is common with Indian students who study abroad, it took a while to get used to the free spirited education system which tested concepts and application, over 'bookish knowledge.' My professors were among the best in their respective fields, and each encouraged me to explore and understand the subject material.
Diverse experience
Popular haunts of student life include The Three Tuns, the on-campus bar, LSE Garrick, for fresh home-cooked meals, and Wright's, a British-style sandwich shop. Campus was always bursting with activity, with the Students Union having over 150 societies, as diverse as food appreciation, environmental affairs, visual arts or entrepreneurship. Around 1 p.m. every day, there would be a queue snaking up near the campus on Houghton Street. The 'Hare Krishna' guy (From ISKCON -The International Society for Krishna Consciousness), would be offering free plates of hot food. My classmates were mostly American, Chinese and European. Networking opportunities aside, it is also a great place to know people from different cultures and cultivate memorable relationships.
Needless to say, life in London is enriching — from its landmark 'touristyness', innate cultural diversity, vibrant fashion, art and entertainment scene, or to indulge in my favourite activity, people watching. My advice to new students is to explore the city, travel a lot while you are there and make it to every social event possible. You will need friends when you are lonely and crave familiar food and company.
The writer graduated last year from the Department of Media and Communications, London School of Economics

Competition Among University EndowmentsWilliam N. GoetzmannYale School of Management - International Center for Finance; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Sharon M. OsterYale School of Management June 12, 2012 Yale SOM Working Paper Abstract: The asset allocation of university endowments has recently shifted dramatically towards alternative investments. In this paper we examine the role played by strategic competition in motivating this shift. Using a metric capturing competition for undergraduate applications, we test whether endowment performance relative to a school's nearest competitor is associated with the likelihood of changing investment policy, and conditionally, whether the nature of that change is consistent with the goal of "catching up" to its closest rival. Conditional on indicating a policy change, we find that endowments appear to use marketable alternatives – i.e. hedge funds – to catch up to competitors. More generally, we find evidence that endowments with below median holdings of alternative investments tend to shift policies in that direction. Besides herding behavior we also find trend-chasing behavior. Endowments with recent positive experience with various alternative asset classes tend to increase exposure to them. We consider the long-run implications of this competitive and trending behavior for the ability of endowments to deliver intergenerational equity.

From Vellum to Pixels: David Remington Offers Expertise in Project to Digitize Codex Sinaiticus
David Remington, Collections
Reformatting Photographer in the Digital Imaging and Photography Group
in Widener Library, stands next to a camera used for high end digitization. |
David Remington, Collections Reformatting Photographer in the Digital Imaging and Photography Group in Widener Library, is serving on the Codex Sinaiticus Technical Standards Working Party, composed of representatives from each institution and digital imaging specialists. The international team's goal is to create a scholarly edition of the Codex and as exact a replication as possible.
A few of the manuscript's leaves were initially discovered in 1844 by German scholar Constantine Tischendorf at the monastery of St. Catherine at Mt. Sinai, Egypt. Tischendorf realized the manuscript's significance and asked the monks if they had additional leaves, but the monks were reluctant to show him more of the document. A few years later, Tischendorf returned under the patronage of the Russian Tsar Alexander the II and convinced the monks to reveal what is now known as the earliest complete manuscript of the New Testament. Tischendorf secured the Codex for the Czar. In 1917, with the revolution, the Codex changed hands once again. In 1933, the Soviet Union sold the manuscript to the British Library. Today, the remaining 400 leaves are divided among the four institutions (British Library, Leipzig University Library, National Library of Russia, and St Catherine's Monastery), each owner having retained a bit of the manuscript as it passed from hand to hand over the centuries.
The institutions are now working together to digitally reunite the manuscript. An expert in exacting digital reproduction, Remington was asked to serve as an outside consultant on the project. In July representatives from three of the four institutions met for the first time at the British Library, where the majority of the manuscript is currently held. Remington was asked to compile a list of recommended technical specifications for the project, such as the type of camera needed, appropriate lighting, lenses, file format, method of archiving the project's digital assets, and the image capture process.
"The material is challenging and the project calls for the highest quality reproduction. We are consulting with conservators and curators on issues specific to this manuscript, for instance a lot of the text is faded and there are faint notations along the borders, between passages and in the gutter. Some of the pages have been mended or have tiny punctures used for aligning the columns. All of this detail is relevant to scholarly study and must be available in the reproduction. These considerations inform our choices for capture resolution, lens, necessary depth of field, style of lighting, and type of backing material," said Remington. "It is important that all technical aspects of the digital capture and image processing be given careful consideration. We are employing a color-managed workflow -- a process that is used to maintain exacting color reproduction from capture, to print, to distribution on the web."
The Technical Standards Working Party is collaborating with a Conservation Working Party, composed of conservators from the British Library, Leipzig University, St Catherine's Monastery and other independent experts. The conservation group will make recommendations on how the leaves should be handled and possible pre-imaging treatments. Each institution will perform its own digital photography, in part because transferring the leaves from one climate to another, such as from Egypt to England, could damage them.
In October, Remington presented his recommendations to the other members of the Technical Standards Working Party, who used the information to draft a proposal for the technical process of reproducing the Codex. An oversight committee is currently reviewing the proposal. The digitization of the Codex should begin in summer or fall 2004. Remington will continue as consultant as the project moves forward.
"David's technical skills, and his subtle eye for color fidelity and image quality are exceptional, making him a central and authoritative resource among the photographers in our group, among other colleagues at Harvard, and now, increasingly, within a growing network of colleagues at other institutions," said Bill Comstock, manager of the Digital Imaging and Photograph Group.

Colloquia Event
Friday April 26, 2013. 03:30 pm. GUGG 205
Dendroecological networks allow historical ecologists to investigate the effect of environmental factors on forest ecosystems over years to millennia and from watershed to continental regions. A network of tree-ring site chronologies from beech populations sampled at different elevations within two different bioclimatic regions (Alps vs Apennines) were used to define beech bioclimatic distribution and for investigating tree response to climate. Climatic signals revealed the separation between the Mediterranean and the Alpine regions, whose spatial boundary was a function of summer drought control on growth. Within each region, elevation regulates climatic responses, as it controls both thermal regime and growing season onset and duration. Fagus sylvatica L. populations were arranged along three altitudinal bioclimatic zones: low-elevation, mountain, and high-mountain. Average Basal Area Increment (BAI), a common indicator of tree productivity, showed diverging trends for bioclimatic and altitudinal zones. The greatest lifespan was observed in old-growth high-mountain populations because of slower growth due to a shorter growing season in combination with growth suppression during the initial development stages in the understory (i.e. at the youngest cambial ages). Finally, investigations of growth patterns in this extensive network allowed the refinement of boundary line methods for identifying growth releases in beech ecosystems.
Geography colloquium series was made possible by the generous support from The Beirne Carter Foundation.

What Agents WantPosted at 12:56PM Monday 28 Jan 2013 Yesterday I taught my first Guardian Masterclass of the year on how to pitch your book. The next is on 23rd February (click Guardian Masterclass for details). A question students always ask is: what exactly do agents want? It is easier to answer than you might think.Of course everyone in publishing would say 'voice', by which they mean the character and personality of the writing. Agents want a voice that is unique, fresh and engaging. If you remain unclear what that means, the best way to understand is to read, read and read contemporary books. The narration – whether first or third person – will have a unique and distinct feel. From the opening paragraph it will engage you in a way that makes you want to read on and respond to the story and characters.

Our topography and vegetation are unusual for a Caribbean island. Divi-divi trees, easily recognized by their distinctive wind-sculpted shape, dot a landscape defined by miles of pristine white beaches and a rugged northeast coast.
Aruba attracts more than 800,000 international visitors annually and enjoys the highest return rate in the Caribbean. Perfect weather, hospitable people and world-renowned beaches are the most compelling factors for return visits. Also important are the island's mix of luxury high-rise and casual low-rise resorts, its unique natural beauty and culture, abundant land and sea activities, safety and security, and long-time friendships.
There has been a steady increase in the number of Distinguished Visitors as well as Goodwill Ambassadors of Aruba over the last four years, with combined totals of 804 in 2006; 873 in 2007; 1103 in 2008; and 1197 in 2009.

Taking your community's pulse: what Condominium, Cooperative and HOA boards need to consider.
Think back to the night of the annual meeting and election when you may first have been elected to the board. If your victory came after a hard-fought battle against an incumbent or after years of suffering through previous boards' bad decisions, it was probably a moment you cherished. Still, when you heard your name called that night, did you and your fellow board members truly know what goals the membership was hoping you would accomplish on its behalf during your term on the board?
Most boards don't receive instructional manuals at their first organizational meeting. Some boards do run on a platform of change and it is usually the changes they personally want to see implemented in the community should they win. How many new and existing directors regularly poll their members to take the community's pulse on what is most important to THE RESIDENTS?
Thanks to the plethora of educational classes and materials made available (often for free) to volunteer board members these days, most directors know that there are certain areas where the community's members must be consulted and their approval given prior to the board taking action.
What are these areas? Among other items:
-Waiving reserves;
-Using funds held in reserve for non-reserve purposes;
-Materially altering the common elements;
-Amending the governing documents (although rare, some governing documents do allow the board alone to amend them);and
-Reducing the financial reporting requirements.
There are other areas, where boards are within their scope of authority to act without ever informing the members or seeking their input. These include:
-Signing contracts;
-Hiring employees;
-Firing employees;
-Fining residents;
-Filing lawsuits (although rare, some governing documents do require membership approval prior to commencing a suit); and
-Canceling contracts
Just how much input should a board seek from its members on the list above?
Should the owners be consulted prior to suing that painter who walked off the job? What about prior to firing the long-term landscaper? How about the board deciding to not renw the bulk cable contract but advising owners that they must enter into their own contracts with the cable provider of their choice? All of these examples are decisions that boards can and do make on their own. Some boards, however, take an extra step and bring the members into the dialogue before making the final decision.
This can be accomplished by straw polls on a variety of contemplated actions and/or by special membership/board meetings prior to big decisions. In some communities this works beautifully and has created a level of transparency and inclusion that creates greater membership satisfaction. In other communities, just the opposite has occurred. If you ask members what they think and then ignore their opinions, you might just have opened Pandora's Box.
What has your experience in your community been? Too little membership inclusion, too much membership inclusion or just the right amount?
