WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Vice Chair of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee, today held a JEC hearing on building job opportunities for veterans. The hearing explored current employment trends for U.S. veterans and strategies for helping more returning service members find good jobs in the private sector workforce.
"More and more companies are realizing that veterans have valuable, battle-tested skills that can be transitioned into civilian jobs," said Klobuchar. "I'm encouraged by what we're seeing at businesses like Xcel Energy, and I will continue to work to help ensure the men and women who served our country can find good jobs when they get home."
Klobuchar invited Benjamin G.S. Fowke III, CEO of Xcel Energy, to testify about his company's successful efforts to hire veterans and ways to encourage more private sector businesses to train and recruit returning service members. Fowke estimates that 12 percent of Xcel's roughly 11,000 employees are veterans.
Klobuchar has long championed policies to help veterans successfully transition the skills they learned on the battlefield into good-paying civilian jobs. She co-authored legislation, passed into law last year, to streamline the process for receiving a commercial driver's license, as well as introduced the Veterans to Paramedics Act, legislation making it easier for veterans who trained as paramedics in the military to earn credentials as emergency medical technicians.
Klobuchar introduced the bipartisan Post-9/11 Veterans Job Training Act to allow veterans to use their GI Bill benefits for job training and apprenticeship programs, provisions that went into effect in 2011. Also in 2011, Klobuchar helped pass the VOW to Hire Heroes Act into law, legislation promoting the hiring of unemployed veterans by requiring separating service members to participate in career training programs and providing a tax credit to employers who bring unemployed veterans into their workforce.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will award a contract to a partnership of commercial building professionals and industry stakeholders to serve as the High-Performance Green Building Supporting Consortium in support of DOE's commercialization of high-performance building technologies. DOE released a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) May 29 and will select the consortium later this year.
The consortium is an aspect of DOE's Net-Zero Energy Commercial Building Initiative (CBI), which aims to produce market-ready, net-zero energy commercial buildings by 2025. The consortium will help DOE achieve the goals of the initiative by collecting information on current and next generation technologies for building components and systems. It will also give DOE access to its members' technical expertise, will communicate the emergence of new technologies to the commercial building community, and will promote the demonstration of high-performance building technologies. Selection of the consortium was one of the requirements of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
DOE will award the three- to five-year contract to a partnership that demonstrates the collective expertise necessary to move the market toward net-zero energy performance in five target markets: commercial real estate, retail, hospitals, higher education, and state/local government. Applicable partnerships will include representation from industry stakeholders as well as professional organizations or companies with specialized experience in:

What is a genetic disease?
Reader Stories
A genetic disease is any disease that is caused by an abnormality in an individual's genome, the person's entire genetic makeup. The abnormality can range from minuscule to major -- from a discrete mutation in a single base in the DNA of a single gene to a gross chromosome abnormality involving the addition or subtraction of an entire chromosome or set of chromosomes. Some genetic disorders are inherited from the parents, while other genetic diseases are caused by acquired changes or mutations in a preexisting gene or group of genes. Mutations can occur either randomly or due to some environmental exposure.
What are the different types of inheritance?
There are a number of different types of genetic inheritance, including the following four modes:
Single gene inheritance
Single gene inheritance, also called Mendelian or monogenetic inheritance. This type of inheritance is caused by changes or mutations that occur in the DNA sequence of a single gene. There are more than 6,000 known single-gene disorders, which occur in about 1 out of every 200 births. These disorders are known as monogenetic disorders (disorders of a single gene).
Some examples of monogenetic disorders include:
Single-gene disorders are inherited in recognizable patterns: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked.

Environmental refugees leaving Bangkok on a flooded highway. Flooding in autumn 2011 killed hundreds, displaced millions and hit the economy, with over 1,000 factories swamped.
The last decade has seen nine of the ten hottest years on world record. A record $380 billion in losses were attributed to "natural disasters" in 2011, according to insurance giant Munich Re. Europe is experiencing fatal and costly heat waves, forest fires and floods. No surprise then that an official poll in late 2011 showed Europeans view it as more important a threat than the financial crisis. Yet carbon emissions in 2010 were at a record level.
Catastrophic climate change can only be avoided if industrialised nations transform rapidly towards a green and resource-efficient economy, with poorer countries following a green growth pathway with financial and technology support set internationally. Europe remains one of the world's most carbon polluting regions, second only to China and the United States. Power, heat and transport produce more than 80 percent of its greenhouse gas emissions.Europe showed climate leadership by signing and ratifying the Kyoto Protocol and setting mandatory targets for renewable energy production. But current efforts will fail to save us from dangerous climate change or maintain EU leadership in green technology development. Other economies are rapidly catching up in a global race for green technology market share and Europe continues to rely on ever more and expensive oil imports.Three policy areas will determine climate and energy success in the EU:Cutting carbonThe current EU climate target of 20 percent emission reductions by 2020 compared to 1990 levels is well short of what scientists say is needed to avert dangerous climate change and is unlikely to drive a transition towards a green and resource-efficient economy. The EU should reduce domestic emissions by at least 30 percent, a move supported by a growing number of business leaders, European ministers and civil society groups. More information.
EnergyPower and heat are Europe's most carbon-heavy sectors, with coal-fired plants the worst offender. Nuclear power remains a safety risk and is increasingly blocking the rapid growth of renewable energy. Within the next decade, nearly half of the EU's power stations will need to be replaced. Europe should seize the opportunity to invest in renewable power, energy saving technology and upgrade its outdated electricity grid. Europe can and should fully run on renewable energy by 2050. More information.Oil, transport and biofuelsTransport is Europe's fastest growing source of carbon emissions. As conventional sources dry up, industry is reaching to ever-riskier and more polluting sources, such as deep seas deposits, tar sands and bio-energy causing rainforest destruction and food price spikes. The EU can and should go beyond oil with a fleet of better, efficient and cheaper-to-run cars, vans and trucks. More information.
This Thursday, 25 September, the Parliament's environment committee will cast its vote on the EU's first ever legally binding CO2 emission standard for new cars. There is a substantial risk that, ceding to heavy industry pressure, the committee...

How to Make Bamboo Walls with Plyboo Plywood
September 8, 2011 in Uncategorized
You've seen them in magazines like Dwell, Architectural Record, and Sunset. They're green, they're beautiful and, let's face it, they're sexy. Bamboo walls are undeniably modern and easily adaptable to virtually any residential or commercial space. The best part is that you can replicate these looks with ease. Look no further than a sheet of Smith & Fong's Plyboo bamboo plywood.
Look no further than a sheet of Plyboo's bamboo plywood. Plyboo clearly has you covered for bamboo flooring, but with a little artistic vision and a conversation with your fabricator, you'll soon find yourself teleported into the design major league.
Smooth and Simple
Bamboo plywood can be used like any other decorative plywood panel. Frequently, bamboo plywood is installed with clips. Z clips as they are known are part of an integrated clip and grid system that is fasten to the existing structural wall. Believe it or not, we use this system frequently at our trade shows. It's easy to install, set up and take down, and is sturdy enough for a permanent installation as well.
Using the clip system can really save time and cost on an installation, however, if you find that you're not quite so skilled with home improvements, there are wall systems professionals that can help with large or small renovations. Just do a Google or Bing search for "wall systems installers" and contact with them locally.
Did you know that there's a service that specializes in installing wall systems only? Run a search on Google, Bing, or any search engine platform and you'll be presented with several companies that can assist you with your wall installation. They'll know exactly what to do if you explain what you're after, so if in doubt, always keep this as an option.
The beauty of using Plyboo to make bamboo walls is the ease of use. Of course there are more dimensional options that the materials can be applied. These options, however are not as simple and most likely will involve the help of a professional.
The photo above shows the bamboo walls curved to give the appearance of fluidity, like a river flowing.
It does help to have some ideas in mind. For instance, if you live in a small space, perhaps sliding walls to add a bit of privacy or to give a feeling of spaciousness. In the photo below, this store built out their walls to show off their products. The walls act as shelving — a very realistic and simple option depending on your needs.
The walls are build out to artfully display the products in this store.
High Definition Wall Panels
There are, of course, other options for wall coverings using Smith and Fong products. The answer is tambour. For those who are not familiar with the term tambour, it is used to describe a flexible paneling product. How does it work? Tambour can be any material, wood, plastic, even glass cut into thin strips and laminated to a fabric backing. There is a small reveal at the width of each strip allowing the material to form and shape to almost any surface. Tambour paneling made of bamboo or palm can be shaped around a convex, concave, circular or flat surface with great ease making it a great friend of the do-it-yourselfer.
The image above uses bamboo tambour paneling. This installation retains warmth and is very inviting.
Bamboo Alternatives
So you've decided to re-design the wall surfaces in your living space and you are looking for something that says "you" in a truly original way. Durapalm paneling options might just be what you are looking for. Durapalm panels come in a tambour option as well as two other really unique and user-friendly designs. These are the palm Woven and Deco palm designs. The Woven look evokes the sense of a basket weave pattern with its undulating overlap design. The feeling is both calm and soothing. The Deco pattern on the other hand, breaks this all up with a random multi-depth surface that is modern, unpredictable and highly energized. The Deco is truly a one of a kind look and feel.
Make It Yours
Whether you're just look for a great texture and material to surface your walls with, or if you are looking for utility and function, the DIY or professional should find the range and variety of wall solutions available.

T-DOME: The Last Man Standing - Round One
Get out your fanciest post-apocalyptic Mad Max leather chaps, ladies and germs, we've got a Thunderdome of epic proportions in the works. This time around, it's every man for themselves.
We're going to have ourselves a bracketed tournament. Each round will consist of 1 on 1 battles, and the winners of each respective battle will go on to the next round. Eventually we will whittle our way down to the prize fight: a one on one battle between the winner of each bracket division. Winner of that match is the Last Man Standing... the one contender who took down the masses.
Who's it gonna be then?
The matches for each round except the last will be RANDOMLY CHOSEN from the pool of 144 competitors. In the last two rounds, the battles will be between 3 men, not 2.
Round I: 144 Competitors - 2 man battles
Round II: 72 Competitors - 2 man battles
Round III: 36 Competitors - 2 man battles
Round IV: 18 Competitors - 2 man battles
Round V: 9 Competitors - 3 man battles
Round VI: 3 men enter, one man leaves...
The Demon Prince (or Princess)
For the first round you'll flex your creature/character design skills. You are free to take this topic in any direction and each pairing of competitors are free to further define their scope between themselves, but don't lose sight of the topic at hand.
You've got one week to join in the fray, as this round determines who will play in every round. Unless we got objections from the lot of you, you'll then have another three weeks after that to complete your masterpieces. Let's make it 11:59pm PST August 6th, 2005.
My bandwidth will commit suicide if I hosted the massive amounts of images expected, so I'll have to ask that you upload your image to your own space and send me the link to your image. You can submit your entries in link form to firstname.lastname@example.com in the yournameVScompetitor'sname_TD.jpg format, with the title of your email yourname's entry. Size: Please keep you images at or smaller than 800x600.
Keep your secret weapon secret: do not post up you WIPs or Finished Pieces before the main T-DOME threads are displayed. The best part about this is seeing all the artwork for the first time side by side, don't rob us of that chance.

First, I just want to thank our extremely talented and generous panel of judges for taking the time to help us out and lend their trained eyes to our hard work. Every judge involved offered their time very generously, and this event wouldn't have happened without those badasses. Round of applause.
All of you put out a tremendous effort and helped this little dome evolve into a pretty amazing thing. A lot of the judges had a difficult time chosing one piece over the other in some cases, so each match could be anybody's game.
For every thread I assigned 3 judges to cast their anonymous votes for the winner of each match... they were not required to give crits as you all should be thankful you had such talented judges looking at your pieces anyway, so I expect to hear absolutely no whining, bitching, or complaining about who won, the competition itself, or the judging. If you lose, take it like a man for christ's sakes and work harder next time.

One school record was followed by another for Oglethorpe in the Intercollegiate golf tournament at Paradise Point aboard
Coach Jim Owen said his Stormy Petrels broke the school mark on the Scarlet course with a round of 263 on Saturday, which allowed Oglethorpe to be the leader heading into today's final round of the 42nd annual Intercollegiate.
On Friday, Oglethorpe shot a 285 on the Gold course, which Owen said was a school mark for that course.
"Everybody stayed patient and kept the gameplan to hit greens and to let the putter win it or lose it for us," Owen said.
The Stormy Petrels, the reigning NCAA Division III national champion, sit at 285-263—548, 15 shots ahead of second-place
Now, Oglethorpe has put itself in a position to win the Intercollegiate for the first time since 2007. The Stormy Petrels also won in 2002 and '04.
"It was an unbelievable effort," Owen said. "We wanted to hit 75 greens. When you do that, you are going to make a lot of birdies, which we did."
Actually, Oglethorpe hit 74 greens, made 21 birdies and one eagle.
The Stormy Petrels are led by sophomore Maccaglia at 72-63—135. Maccaglia, the reigning NCAA Division III individual national champion, leads the individual field at the Intercollegiate.
"I stayed patient just like the team and I never got ahead of myself," Maccaglia said. "I just played solid. I have been swinging good all year and it is nice to keep it going in this tournament."
Hayden Jones (71-67—138) and Brandon Bear (71-68—139) have also played well for Oglethorpe.
Still, Owen is looking for a complete round today from all of his players.
"We haven't played a complete 18, but that will be the goal (for today)," Owen said. "For the second day, we got off to a slow start. The back nine (of Scarlet) is the easy side, and you would have thought we would have gotten off to a great start. But on the harder front side, we put the hammer down, with some help with some pretty good weather."
Owen and Maccaglia said Oglethorpe doesn't get fazed by bumpy starts.
"It's the experience we got the last couple of years," Owen said. "Four of our guys played here last year and three guys played here two years ago. So they understand how difficult this place is, depending on the weather. This group can start slow, but can finish it off. They have the maturity."
And what does Maccaglia think of his team's composure?
"The fact we have played in this tournament multiple times…, we all know what to do on this course," he said. "We need to stay patient. We have stayed patient and we made our putts, which we have been doing all year."
If you're a golfer in the Intercollegiate, it also helps keep the pressure down when you are pro-am partners with Marines.
"You hear stories playing with the Marines," Maccaglia said. "It's just incredible and you get a different perspective on life. I had a couple of 5-footers today and I just thought about those stories and I wasn't nervous at all."
Maccaglia leads the individual competition by one shot over
"Just taking it one shot at a time," Maccaglia said.

Walking the Tightrope: The Tensions Between Work and Family in America Today
For tens of millions of Americans the stress of juggling the competing demands of work and family is a primary concern-second only, perhaps, to concerns over earning a livable income. In today's economy, we are earning more, but working longer hours and spending less time with our families. Unsurprisingly, we are usually less happy than before. Stress over time pressure is perhaps universal, a result of changes in the American workforce over the past three decades and of the never-ending demands of a "24/7" workplace ethic. Too many Americans find themselves tied to their work through cellular phones and e-mail.
Hedrick Smith, Executive Producer and Correspondent for PBS's recent nationwide special on "Juggling Work and Family" (2001), joins us at the Athenaeum for a talk sponsored by the Berger Institute for Work, Family and Children and the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies. Smith draws on the experiences and daily obstacles of high tech managers in Silicon Valley and assembly line workers in the Midwest, alike. He reports on the strategies progressive companies use to ease the pressures on employees raising children or caring for their own elderly parents. Exploring the structural and cultural norms in America, which were formed a half century ago, he questions whether or not these norms are appropriate in today's society.
Having recently completed the series on work and family, Smith previously hosted twelve prime-time PBS specials and series on issues as diverse as Washington's power game, Soviet perestroika, the global economy, and teen violence. For 26 years, Smith was a correspondent for The New York Times. A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, he served as Chief Diplomatic Correspondent on the team that produced the Pentagon Papers (1971).

When the caravan of Orange County educators burst into Jennifer Sandland's third-grade classroom on Monday, students immediately knew their teacher had been named one of the county's top five teachers of the year.
"She won, she won," cheered the students at Peters Canyon Elementary in Tustin.
Sandland instantly began crying as her parents, Kay and Steve Sandland, sister Kathleen Sandland and son Kale, 7, entered the classroom to celebrate with the teacher.
"This is just one surprise after another," she said. "I could not be happier. But I could not have won this award without the support of all the other amazing teachers I work with."
Sandland was the final stop for the Teacher of the Year caravan, dubbed the "prize patrol," of county Department of Education officials, media, sponsors and other administrators. The group made annual trek across the county to honor the five teachers who have been named the county's best for 2013.
The five were chosen from more than 55 finalists selected by individual school districts. A panel of county officials picked the five winners after interviewing all the finalists. Each winner will also receive a $15,000 prize. A dinner will be held in the teachers' honor in October at the Disneyland Hotel.
"These teachers are among the best in their profession," said county Superintendent William Habermehl, leader of the prize patrol. "They work they do to inspire and educate our young people deserves the highest praise."
Sandland was selected for her work teaching her students to value the community outside the campus. Each Valentine's Day, her students run a book drive that benefits a children's hospital. She also leads a student fundraising effort that raises hundreds of dollars annually for endangered species worldwide.
John Wood
The prize patrol started the day by storming into John Wood's science classroom at Talbert Middle School.
"Wow, I didn't expect this," Wood said as Habermehl handed him a golden apple trophy. "This is a truly amazing honor."
Students cheered as Talbert teachers hugged and congratulated Wood.
Wood ran classroom lessons while he served on a scientific expedition in Alaska earlier this year. Wood communicated with his classes in Huntington Beach via Skype, asking students to follow his research on the Alaskan environment by reading his online journal.
Deanna Zamiska
The caravan then hit Peterson Elementary in Huntington Beach at about 9:20 a.m. to surprise third-grade teacher Deanna Zamiska as she prepared students for upcoming state testing.

Bush, Gore, and the Art of Political Warfare
A recent article in The Washington Post started with this passage: "While the unsuspecting Democrats rest in their beds, a group of four men in dark suits moves purposefully toward the Staples Center, site of the Democratic convention. As political warfare goes, this is a guerrilla attack: Coming down from the hills are Republican National Committee Chairman Jim Nicholson and three aides."
Other stories are full of references to strategies, tactics, offensives, retreats and blitzes. Why all the martial talk? In important ways, politics resembles warfare.
That's the theme of The Art of Political Warfare (2000), a new book by Professor John J. Pitney, Jr., from the University of Oklahoma Press. Applying military thought to domestic politics, the book persuasively argues that the writings of warriors and military analysts can teach us much about political activity.
The book discusses how military principles can explain victory or defeat in politics, whether for an election campaign or a legislative battle. Each chapter takes a single concept from the military- strategy, leadership, training, intelligence, deception, logistics, friction, and finality- and applies it to political concerns ranging from campaign war chests to legislative tactics.
In his Athenaeum lecture, the first in the series Faculty Ideas in Progress, Pitney will use the military perspective to tell how Governor Bush and Vice President Gore are waging political warfare- even though they claim they are not.
One of CMC's most distinguished professors, Pitney has twice received the Glenn R. Huntoon Award for Superior Teaching. He has served as Deputy Director of the Research Department for the Republican National Committee and was the senior domestic policy analyst for the U.S. House of Representatives Republican Research Committee. He is coauthor of Congress' Permanent Minority? Republicans in the U.S. House (1994).
Welcome Dinner for the Class of 2004
Liberal Arts: What Are You Going To Do With It ?
If you would like to find an answer to the above question without committing yourself to a predictable future, and without putting yourself in a box, you are invited to join the Dean of Students and the Athenaeum for a dinner and lecture specially arranged for CMC's freshmen class.
Howard Figler is eminently qualified to lead this discussion. Formerly the director of the Career Center at the University of Texas at Austin and nationally known author of the bestselling book The Complete Job-Search Handbook (3rd ed., 1999, Henry Holt), Figler earned his Diplomate in Counseling Psychology from the American Board of Professional Psychology, his Ph.D. from Florida State University, his MBA from New York University, and his B.A. from Emory University.
Figler will focus his remarks on issues that may affect important choices you will make throughout your career at CMC. The importance of emotional intelligence, the reasons why a liberal education is good for you and your career, and how to use resources at CMC to your best advantage will all be part of the evening's discussion.
All members of the freshmen class have already been signed up to attend the dinner and lecture by Howard Figler. If you find that you are unable to attend the dinner, please contact the Athenaeum (ext. 18244) to cancel your reservation.The 6:00 dinner is preceded by a juice and cheese reception at 5:30 p.m. Dr. Figier will speak at 6:45 p.m. and the evening concludes by 8:00 p.m.
Forgive Us Our Press Passes
Veteran reporter-commentator Daniel Schorr, the last of Edward R. Murrow's legendary CBS team still fully active in journalism, currently interprets national and international events as Senior News Analyst for National Public Radio.
Schorr's career of more than six decades has earned him many awards for journalistic excellence, including three Emmys, and decorations from European heads of state. Civil liberties groups and professional organizations have also honored him for his defense of the First Amendment. In 1996, he received the most prestigious award in the field of broadcasting- the Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Golden Baton for "Exceptional Contributions to Radio and Television Reporting and Commentary."
His firsthand perspective on recent history broadens Schorr's analysis of current issues. In the U.S., he has covered government controversies ranging from Senator Joseph McCarthy's hearings on communism in 1953 to the Iran-Contra affair in the 1980s and 90s. Abroad, he has observed superpower summits from the Eisenhower-Khrushchev meeting in Geneva in 1955 to the Reagan-Gorbachev conference in Moscow in 1988.
In 1972, Schorr was assigned as CBS's chief Watergate correspondent. He unexpectedly found himself a part of his own story when the Senate hearings turned up President Nixon's "enemies list" with his name on it and evidence that the president had ordered him investigated by the FBI. This "abuse of a federal agency" figured as one count in the Bill of Impeachment on which Nixon would have been tried had he not resigned in August 1974.
Also in 1974, when the House of Representatives voted to suppress the final report of its investigations of CIA and FBI scandals, Schorr arranged for publication of the advance copy he had exclusively obtained. Suspended from CBS and threatened with jail for contempt, he refused to disclose his source on First Amendment grounds, saying that "to betray a source would mean to dry up many future sources for many future reporters.... It would mean betraying myself, my career, and my life." In the end, Congress decided against the contempt citation and CBS asked him to return; instead, he chose to resign in order to write his account of his stormy experience in his book Clearing the Air (1977). In his Athenaeum address, Schorr will discuss where journalists have gone wrong, why journalists rank so low with the public, and how journalism will survive the Internet.
Daniel Schorr's appearance at the Athenaeum is cosponsored by the Keck Center for Strategic and International Studies.
American Jazz Institute Chamber Orchestra: The Teddy Charles Tentet

Along with Milt Jackson and Terry Gibbs, Teddy Charles ushered the vibraphone into the modern era. While influenced by the masters Lionel Hampton and Red Norvo, Charles had, by the late 1940s, assimilated the vocabulary of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, making a name for himself as a vibes player during the heyday of bebop in New York.
Between 1952 and 1955 Charles recorded a series of groundbreaking albums for Prestige and New Jazz, called "New Directions, Volumes 1-5." Charles developed a compositional approach to jazz, eschewing standards in favor of unfamiliar, original material. His concept was to fully integrate the written and improvised sections of a jazz performance to provide new contexts and challenges for the artist.
Charles was a participant in the Charles Mingus Jazz Cornposers Workshop which also included such major talents as George Russel, Gil Evans, John LaPorta, Teo Macer, and many others with an interest in composition and experimentation. He subsequently formed the Teddy Charles Tentet- an unusual ensemble made up of three saxophones, trumpet, tuba, guitar, vibraphone, and rhythm section- whose recordings for the Atlantic label in 1956 have become classics. This music, fortunately reissued on compact disc, remains fresh and full of surprises some forty-three years after its initial release.
This is a rare and wonderful opportunity to meet and hear a performance by one of the great jazz artists of all time. The American Jazz Institute chamber ensemble, directed by Mark Masters, will perform the music of the Teddy Charles Tentet.
Cultural Identity in a Hyphenated America
Gish Jen, a prominent Asian-American author, had to walk a long and strenuous road to pursue her career as a writer. Despite her family's insistence that she pursue "a more dignified and appropriate career," Gish Jen followed that which she knew best and has established herself as a well respected, highly acclaimed contemporary writer.
Her book Typical American (1991) was a New York Times notable book of the year and a finalist for the National Book Critics' Circle Award. Her second novel, Mona in the Promised Land (1996) was also a New York Times notable book and the Los Angeles Times named it one of the ten best books of 1996. One critic writes, one of the greatest charms of Gish Jen's fiction is her position as a bemused chronicler- of the way things are in this crazy mishmash of an America, of the power and the limitations of family roots, and of the hugely comic potential in human nature.
Gish Jen has written for The Atlantic Monthly, The New Yorker, The New Republic, and The New York Times. A story of hers was one of the twenty recently chosen by John Updike for Best American Short Stories of the Century (1999).
Gish Jen received her undergraduate degree in English from Harvard University in 1977, and an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop in 1983. She comes to the Athenaeum as part of the series Crossing Borders.
Miscarriages of Justice in the 21st Century: Coercion, False Confessions, and the Wrongful Conviction of the Innocent
Why do innocent people sometimes confess to crimes they did not commit? At what point does a zealous police interrogation become too coercive? Should police be given more or less freedom when trying to persuade criminal suspects to confess? The first speaker in the Athenaeum's Psychology and Law series will attempt to answer these and other questions.
Richard Leo is Professor of Criminology, Law and Society at UC Irvine and an internationally recognized authority on the psychology of police interrogation practices. To understand these practices, he has observed or analyzed more than 500 interrogations and received interrogation training from several law enforcement agencies. Professor Leo's research on the social psychology of coercive interrogations, false confessions, and wrongful convictions has been honored with awards from the American Psychology-Law Society and the American Society of Criminology.

Cancer Myths and Realities
One in every three Americans gets malignant cancer sometime in their lifetime, and one in four dies of it. This disease exacts heavy costs in human and economic terms. Is the rate of cancer in our population still rising? Can you get cancer from other people? Do things such as radiation from power lines or drinking coffee cause cancer? Are natural foods much less cancer-causing than foods from the supermarket? Has there been much progress in cancer treatment over the past decade? Does psychological well-being help to fight cancer? Are complementary medical treatments, such as Chinese herbs, valuable for cancer? Is gene therapy for cancer possible?
David Sadava, Pritzker Family Foundation Professor of Biology at CMC's Joint Science Center is active in cancer research, and teaches courses on the subject. He has just spent a year working on cancer chemotherapy at the City of Hope Medical Center while on sabbatical leave. Sadava has worked in this field for seven years, his prior interests being in cell biology and chemistry. He has a variety of research interests, ranging from the biochemistry of human development to plant physiology to the genetics of thoroughbred racehorses. He has coauthored with Claremont undergraduates over 30 research papers and is the author or coauthor of four books, including a leading general biology textbook and a book on plant genes and agriculture.
The U.S. "declared war on cancer" some time ago. You are invited to come to the Athenaeum for an update on how the war is going. Professor David Sadava's lecture is part of the series Faculty Ideas in Progress.
Capitol Steps: There's Something Funny Going on in Washington
MARC IRWIN, piano
The Capitol Steps are what Washington would be like if everyone were smarter and could sing.
-P.J. O'Rourke
The Capitol Steps make it easier to leave public office.
-President George Bush
The Capitol Steps are a troupe of Congressional staffers-turned-comedians who travel the country satirizing the very people and places that once employed them. Since they began, the Capitol Steps have recorded twenty albums, including their latest, "It's Not Over 'Til the First Lady Sings." They've been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS and can be heard four times a year on National Public Radio stations nationwide during their "Politics Takes a Holiday" radio specials. The Capitol Steps have performed for the last four Presidents.
The Steps got their start in December 1981 at a Christmas party for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, when three members of Illinois Republican Senator Charles Percy's staff were asked to provide entertainment. So they decided to dig into the headlines of the day, creating song parodies and skits that have become the group's signature brand of satirical humor.
Most cast members have worked on Capitol Hill; some for Democrats, some for Republicans, and others for politicians who firmly straddle the fence. In fact; the current cast of the Capitol Steps has at one time or another infested the offices of eleven U.S. Senators and seven Members of the House of Representatives. Most of these politicians have either been defeated or placed under investigation. No matter who holds office, there is never a shortage of material- political scandal, controversy, and missteps ensure that the Capitol Steps have plenty to sing about.
For all who suffer from politics-as-usual weariness or pre-election stress, the Office of the Dean of Students and the Athenaeum are bringing the Capitol Steps to CMC to remind everyone that fact is funnier than fiction. Come join the fun. Dinner is for CMC persons only. The performance is open to all.
Tibet and Tibetans Since the Chinese Invasion
Tashi Namgyal served as joint Secretary of the Department of Security of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile (1998-1999). He was primarily responsible for the security of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. His previous position as Representative of His Holiness in Nepal (1993-1998) involved oversight of the refugee community of 20,000 Tibetans and liaison with other diplomatic missions in Nepal and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees.
The Chinese occupation forces reached the small nomadic encampment of Namgyal's family around 1957, bringing starvation and devastating thought-reform programs to Eastern Tibet. At age five or six, Namgyal escaped with neighbors and walked West across Tibet for two years. In Mustang, Nepal, the CIA-supported Tibetan guerilla force educated Namgyal and other boys (as noncombatants) in Buddhist scripture, foreign languages, and arithmetic, then sent them on to the first Tibetan-language schools established in India. Namgyal graduated from Delhi University in 1977 with a Bachelor of Commerce.
Asked to reconcile his devotion to the teachings of the Dalai Lama with his role in the Department of Security, Namgyal replied, "To protect His Holiness, you might have to use force against somebody, although His Holiness will not approve of that, but the life of His Holiness is more precious than anything else. You still pray for your enemy because his life is dear like your life."
Tashi Namgyal's visit to Claremont McKenna College is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
The Federalization of Criminal Law
As the second speaker in the Athenaeum's annual Constitution Day lecture series, Judge Ehrlich will address an issue that has been perceived as a threat to the U.S. constitutional system: the increasing federalization of criminal law and what that encroachment means for federalism generally and the historical principles of dual sovereignty. The fundamental view that local crime is a matter for the states to address has been strained in practice in recent years. Congressional activity making essentially local conduct a federal crime has accelerated greatly, notably in areas in which existing state law already criminalizes the same conduct. Judge Ehrlich served on the recent American Bar Association's Task Force on "The Federalization of Criminal Law" that documented this trend (and the reasons for it) and that provided specific recommendations to curb it.
Since 1989, Ehrlich has served as a judge of the Arizona Court of Appeals. After receiving her B.A. from Wellesley College, she worked as a research analyst in the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice reviewing cases of alleged racial discrimination in target companies. After receiving her J.D. from Arizona State University College of Law, she served as a Law Clerk for Chief Justice Jack D. H. Hay of the Arizona Supreme Court. From 1978-80 she was an attorney with the Appellate Section, Civil Division, U. S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., where she handled cases in every federal circuit. From 1981-89, she was an Assistant United States Attorney, Chief of Appellate Section, District of Arizona.

MIKE GREENAWAY finds out why Frédéric Michalak decided to rekindle his relationship with the Sharks.
There was something quintessentially French about Frédéric Michalak's exit from the rugby club he had played for since he was seven and his arrival in KwaZulu-Natal towards the end of Super Rugby.
'It is the end of a love affair, the heart breaks, but a new affair begins,' he said of his departure from his beloved Toulouse. 'Durban was kind to me when I moved there in 2008 [for a sabbatical from Toulouse] and I did a lot of growing up, so when the phone call came from the Sharks it felt right to return and make a home there.'
He has signed for the Sharks for 15 months but says he could well stay longer.
The 28-year-old was at the end of his contract with Toulouse in June and the Sharks had injury concerns at scrumhalf, with Conrad Hoffmann ruled out with a serious elbow injury. Michalak has started at No 9 in some of his 55 Tests and is equally at home at flyhalf, so his recall to Durban made a whole lot of sense, not just for the final weeks of Super Rugby but mostly for the Currie Cup given that Pat Lambie will be with the Springboks.
After the over-the-top hype that cloaked the French icon's arrival in Durban in 2008, his return has been almost comically subdued. Three years ago Michalak engendered an entourage that would normally be associated with a pop star. Two French TV crews and three newspapers were in his wake; he was accompanied for the first fortnight by his agent, who he described as his 'sister' but was no blood relation, and he conducted interviews with local media through a translator (it was handy indeed that one of the secretaries at the Sharks is a French-speaking Swiss).
Leading French sports paper L'Equipe assigned a reporter and photographer to cover the then 25-year-old's entire three-month Super 14 visit, including the Sharks' overseas tour, and the embarrassed Michalak was endlessly ribbed by his team-mates about his 'double shadow'.
Three years later he is blissfully unencumbered, the defences against the media he had constructed are down and he proves to be a humble soul – disarming, ingenuous, unfailingly polite. And his dramatically improved English resonates with that melodic French accent that English-speakers find so charming.
Much of that is due to a delightful, romantic legacy of his 2008 visit. One of his better friends at the time was team-mate Waylon Murray, who introduced him to the cousin of a girl he was dating at the time.
Her name was Cindy and she was visiting relatives in Durban (her family had emigrated to Australia when she was eight months old).
'Later that season the Sharks went to Sydney and we spent time together …' he says. 'She came to stay with me when I returned to Toulouse. She has obviously helped me with English and she is speaking good French.'
They were married in December. Cindy is finishing a contract at a bank in London and was set to join her husband at the end of July.
'She is really getting excited about living in the place of her birth. We have been "gypsies" for a while [Toulouse, London and now Durban], so we are looking forward to settling down in Durban.'
The dimming media attention for Michalak in France has as much to do with the flyhalf currently being out of favour with the French selectors as it does with his lifestyle assuming more sedate proportions.
After making his debut for France as a debonair 19-year-old he quickly became a phenomenon off the field. He posed nude for Citizen K (a luxury fashion magazine) and Dieux du Stade (The Stadium Gods, a highly popular annual calendar produced by French club Stade Français).
In Europe, a poll undertaken by leading women's magazines had him as the second most desirable sportsman after David Beckham. He also became a gay icon.
By his mid-20s, he was earning a fortune advertising everything from luxury watches to condoms, but the unrelenting media glare took its toll.
'A lot happened quickly for me and some of the decisions I made should be taken in the context of my age at the time,' he says. 'All the calendars, the advertisements, the posters … you try things, you make mistakes but I regret none of it because they were experiences and part of growing up,' he reflects. 'When you are 20, 21 you do things once for the experiment – it is just much harder to get away from certain things when you do your growing up in the spotlight.
'What happens is that you do something once and the media seizes on it and they say that is who you are. For instance, you go to a nightclub once and suddenly that is all you do.'
There was one episode in particular that the media dined out on and it remains a great rugby story. Michalak and his childhood friend Clément Poitrenaud were youthful newcomers in the French national squad and at one lunch session in camp they were teasing the captain, Fabian Pelous, by tossing bits of bread at him. He was not impressed and when they continued after he asked them to stop, Michalak suddenly found a fork embedded in his hand.
'It's a true story. We were being childish. I can laugh about it now, but it hurt. He was not playing. The fork just stayed there stuck in my hand, quivering!'
Michalak was portrayed as something of an enfant terrible in the French media, despite it being clear to anybody who has spent time with him that there is not a pretentious bone in his body. In fact, he is shy.
'An important thing I have realised as I have grown up is that the only time you are truly innocent is when you are a child. It is why I love children. They are the purest humans. They don't have any agendas, they don't want something from you,' he says. 'When the time is right I want as many
kids as possible.'
He didn't have the easiest childhood, himself. He grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in the industrial side of Toulouse. One of four children, his parents had an acrimonious divorce and he lived with his bricklayer dad, with 'no rules' in the house, so he pretty much did as he pleased. Rugby, though, gave him some direction and discipline.
Michalak clearly is an emotional and passionate person. His body is covered with tattoos, each with a special significance.
'My friend JP Pietersen tells me that I look like a newspaper! But these are reminders to me of special things in my life.'
For instance, an Arabic script down his left shoulder is in remembrance of a friend who died in 2003. Another symbolises his friendship with the same group of mates he grew up with.
Michalak says his colourful rugby career parallels his life.
'You win trophies, you lose finals – there is ecstasy and despair. Off the field it is the same …'

The Effects of Discount Location and Frame on Consumers' Price Estimates
2009, Journal of Retailing
Devon Delvecchio, Arun Lakshmanan, H. Shanker Krishnan
A discount may be defined by the location in which, and frame by which, it is communicated. Discount framing, particularly the differences between cents-off and percentage-off discounts, has been widely studied. Discount location (e.g., proximate to or distal from regular price info) has received considerably less attention. We employ the proximity-compatibility principle and tenets of human memory to demonstrate that discount framing (cents-off, percentage-off, and revised price) and discount location (proximal, distal) interact to differentially affect both the immediate value and the persistence of consumers' price estimates. The implications of these results for retailers and manufacturers are highlighted in the discussion.

Boston suspects threw pressure-cooker bomb at police
This Friday image made available by the Massachusetts State Police shows 19-year-old Boston Marathon bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, hiding inside a boat during a search for him in Watertown, Mass.
This photo released by the FBI early Friday shows the suspects together, walking through the crowd in Boston on Monday before the explosions at the Boston Marathon.
Officers wearing tactical gear arrive at the Watertown neighborhood of Boston on Friday.
A line forms to shake the hand of a police officer after the arrest of one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects at Boston Common on Friday.
The suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, came to the U.S. from Russia about a decade ago as ethnic Chechen refugees and were granted asylum, law enforcement sources have said. Tamerlan, who was killed in a gun battle with police Thursday, was a legal permanent U.S. resident. Dzhokhar, captured Friday, became a citizen on Sept. 11, 2012.
"This guy is probably not a Chechen separatist . . . I suspect he wasn't recruited by al-Qaida," said one senior counter terrorism official regularly briefed on the investigation, referring to Tamerlan, who traveled to Russia last year.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the intelligence subcommittee of the House Homeland Security Committee, agreed. "I don't think this was directed from overseas, I don't think this was planned from overseas."
Tamerlan Tsarnaev appears to have embraced Islamic extremism, the law enforcement official said, though it's unclear to what extent that was a main trigger for the violence.
King said it was possible Tamerlan met with extremists or received some training during a six-month trip to Russia in 2012, which officials are investigating.
But, the senior official said, the emerging story of the Tsarnaev brothers more likely fits the profile of previous domestic terror attacks and a number of mass shooting events in recent history, specifically noting "very striking" similarities between the Boston attack and the killing rampage of Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian right-wing extremist who killed 77 people in 2011.
In confrontations with the brothers Thursday and Friday, police faced a heavy arsenal of weapons.
One firearm was recovered after the shootout with police Thursday night in Watertown, where some 200 rounds of ammunition were exchanged, said the law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the case is still evolving.
That gun battle followed the shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer on campus.
Two more firearms were recovered in the backyard boat where Dzhokhar was captured Friday, the official said, adding that the serial identification on at least one of them "was ground down" to obscure the numbers.
He said that authorities consider the older brother to be the leader of the duo. "The brother was the catalyst in this thing," he said. "The younger brother followed him."
During an interview with CNN Saturday, Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau said that the Thursday gun battle erupted when one of his officers spotted the brothers in two different cars. As he called for backup, the brothers exited the vehicles and "unloaded on our officers," Deveau said. "He was under direct fire . . . . He has to jam it in reverse and try to get himself a little distance."
"They had pipe bombs and explosives," Deveau said. "During the exchange, all of a sudden something gets thrown at police officers. We find out it was the exact bomb used in the marathon . . . a pressure cooker."
Ultimately, only one of the six officers was injured in the firefight.
"I'm extremely proud of these officers," Deveau said. "It was talent, guts and glory."
After Dzhokar's capture Friday evening, authorities decided not to read him his Miranda rights against self-incrimination, and hold him under a so-called public safety exception to the law, a move that has quickly raised legal and national security questions.
In 2011, a Justice Department memo expanded the use of the public safety exception in domestic terrorism cases, so that it can be invoked in exceptional circumstances even when there is not an imminent safety threat.
The changes were made after a controversy over the handling of the suspect in the Christmas Day 2009 airline bomb attempt, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who was questioned by FBI agents for less than an hour before being read his rights.
A group of Republican lawmakers urged Saturday that wounded Dzhokhar Tsarnaev be treated as an enemy combatant and not a criminal suspect.
"A decision to not read Miranda rights to the suspect was sound and in our national security interests," the statement read. "However, we have concerns that limiting this investigation to 48 hours and exclusively relying on the public safety exception to Miranda, could very well be a national security mistake. It could severely limit our ability to gather critical information about future attacks from this suspect."
"The accused perpetrators of these acts were not common criminals attempting to profit from a criminal enterprise, but terrorists trying to injure, maim, and kill innocent Americans, read a statement issued by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., John McCain, R-Ariz., and others.
The American Civil Liberties Union, meanwhile, said in a statement that "every criminal defendant" is entitled to Miranda rights, noting that Tsarnaev became a naturalized American citizen.
"The public safety exception should be read narrowly. It applies only when there is a continued threat to public safety and is not an open-ended exception to the Miranda rule," the ACLU said. "Every criminal defendant has a right to be brought before a judge and to have access to counsel. We must not waver from our tried and true justice system, even in the most difficult of times. Denial of rights is un-American and will only make it harder to obtain fair convictions."
Residents throughout greater Boston expressed relief Saturday and turned their focus to the first Red Sox home game since the bombings. Players were expected to swap their traditional white home uniforms for new ones with "Boston" written across the front.
In Boston Common on Saturday morning, about 20 police officers in fatigues assembled as part of a regional response team. They have been working 24-hour shifts since Monday, and participated in the extensive search and final showdown in Watertown on Friday.
They remained on standby due to the Red Sox game, a Bruins hockey match and other events, said logistics commander Jack Richman.
Richman, 56, a sergeant from Milton, Mass., was amazed at the gratitude of Bostonians. Earlier in the morning, when he and a few other officers stopped for breakfast at Mul's in South Boston, an anonymous benefactor picked up the tab.
"They've been overly thankful. It's overwhelming, the response from people," Richman said as he stood near the cluster of officers who smiled as a little boy passed and waved.
Richman's own feelings were mixed. There was joy, but also sorrow for the lives lost, including a fellow officer.
"It's like you just won the Super Bowl, but you still have to think about the casualties," he said.
Similar sentiments were shared hours earlier when dozens of people gathered in drizzle to light candles and leave written messages at a Boylston Street police barricade that has been transformed into a makeshift Boston Marathon memorial.
"THE EVIL ARE FEW. THE GOOD ARE MANY. GOOD WINS EVERY TIME," read one note amid a growing pile of flowers, stuffed animals and candles. "YOU MESSED WITH THE WRONG CITY!" read another.
"We feel violated more than anything," said Lindsay McNealy, who visited the shrine with her fiance, Dennis Riordan. "It's kind of like having someone ruin your birthday," she said of the attack.
The couple has never run in the marathon, but said they agreed to participate next year.
"I think everyone in Massachusetts should pick up and run at least a mile of it," Riordan said.
