Hazardous Waste at Academic Laboratories: Technical Correction
This action makes six technical corrections to the December 2008 Academic Laboratories final rule.

- Federal Register Notice - Proposed Rule | PDF Version (2 pp, 54K, about PDF) - December 20, 2010
Hazardous Waste at Academic Laboratories: Final Rule
EPA added a new subpart — Subpart K — to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste generator regulatory requirements in Part 262. The new Subpart is applicable to eligible academic entities, which are colleges and universities, and teaching hospitals and nonprofit research institutes that are either owned by or formally affiliated with a college or university. The alternative set of regulations allows eligible academic entities the flexibility to make hazardous waste determinations in the laboratory; at an on-site central accumulation area; or at an on-site treatment, storage, or disposal facility (TSDF).
This rule also provides incentives for eligible academic entities to clean-out old and expired chemicals that may pose unnecessary risk. Further, this rule requires eligible academic entities that opt into the rule to develop a Laboratory Management Plan (LMP) which is expected to result in safer laboratory practices and increased awareness of hazardous waste management.
Eligible academic entities may also choose not to opt into the new rule and remain subject to the pre-existing hazardous waste generator requirements.

Hazardous Waste at Academic Laboratories: Proposed Rule
EPA proposed alternative hazardous waste generator requirements applicable to college and university laboratories as defined in this proposed rule. The proposal provides a flexible and protective set of regulations that address the specific nature of hazardous waste generation in college and university laboratories. The flexibility in today's proposed rule will allow colleges and universities the discretion to determine the most appropriate and effective method of compliance with today's requirements. Additionally, this proposed rule grants colleges and universities the choice to manage their hazardous wastes in accordance with today's alternative set of regulations or remain subject to the existing generator regulations set forth in 40 CFR 262.11 and 262.34(c).

Comments about Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Ulock:
I actually have two of these new york locks and they are absolutely bombproof. You can tell these are super secure simply by the weight of these, i used mine to lock up my bike when commuting to work.
The locks were left outside in the racks all season and were able to withstand rains and snow and after a season they still work great. The additional thing about these locks is the warranty. One of my locks seized up and I could not longer get the key into the keyhole, I simply sent the lock back to Kryptonite and they were able to warranty it for me and send me a new one.
I really like this brand as it stands behind their products. I would strongly recommend this lock for anyone that has a nice bike and needs to leave it locked up.
Best Uses
Comments about Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Ulock:
It's pretty surprising how heavy duty this lock is. I only bring it with me on my commute when I know I'm stopping between point A and B because it's too much weight to ride with all the time. But, that said, it is probably the smallest, toughest lock you can get right now.
Comments about Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Ulock:
When I use this lock along with my cable lock, I feel safe leaving my bike alone. My biggest gripe is the small area enclosed by the shackle. Overall, a fine product for paranoid riders like me.
Comments about Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Ulock:
I would rate it 4.5 but there is no 4.5. This is because of its size being a little impractical even though that in itself is a defense mechanism, even if it were a little bigger no one could fit anything in there to pry it apart. All in all its a very good lock.

RYAN VREDE says there is no reason to believe that Heyneke Meyer will look beyond Morne Steyn as his flyhalf for the Springboks.
At his unveiling as Springboks coach in January, Heyneke Meyer spoke about giving every player a fair opportunity to state his case for selection. There would be no preconceived ideas about players, he said. Every player would have an equal opportunity of advancing their cause.
Meyer's integrity is sound and there is no reason to doubt the authenticity of that offering. However, through conversations with him it is apparent that he has an acute sense of the weight of expectation. This sense will heighten as his first on-field assignment, a three-Test series against England in June, draws closer.
Meyer has been portrayed as the saviour of the Springboks. But he is like every coach that has preceded him, who, in the high-pressure results-driven environment, will back players he trusts and knows and who fit into his game plan.
Steyn is at the head of that queue and with his performance against the Sharks in Pretoria on Friday he exhibited why, barring injury or stupendous form from one of the other South African flyhalves, he will be the incumbent No 10 for the England series.
With just over a week to prepare his players for their first Test Meyer will not gamble by experimenting with an untested game plan or an unfamiliar pivot. The Bulls showed just how difficult it is to counter their pattern if they are accurate in execution. Central to its success is the timing, weight and placement of up-and-unders and the accuracy of tactical punts into space and touch.
At present there is no player to match Steyn in these disciplines, while he is one of the pre-eminent goal kickers on the planet. Youngsters Pat Lambie and Elton Jantjies are undoubtedly gifted, but their franchise coaches have very different rugby philosophies to Meyer and this is manifested in the manner they are asked to play.
Given more time under Meyer's mentorship both could be engineered into the type of flyhalf he prefers. Indeed they have the potential to offer him more than Steyn can because of their natural feel for the game and broader attacking arsenal.
However, Steyn's presence and potency is crucial but not imperative for the Springboks. For the Bulls he is the fulcrum and any prolonged absence would almost certainly render them significantly less threatening opponents. Both Louis Fouche and Lionel Cronje, the Bulls' deputy pivots, are far more adept at running the ball than they are at kicking it.
Furthermore, any injury to Steyn would have been softened if they had a scrumhalf with a high-quality kicking game. But Francois Hougaard's extensive repertoire does not include kicking of the standard required in the context of this argument.
Don't be surprised if Steyn plays all of the Bulls' matches this season. Such is his importance to them.

Duplication is the worst quality flow as it includes all the others. Indeed copy/pasting a block of code duplicates non respects of coding standards, potential bugs, etc.
To help you fight against duplication, Sonar embeds its own Copy Paste Detection engine (referred as Sonar CPD). It can detect duplication between blocks:
- Within a source file
- Within a project
- Scattered in different projects
When a change is needed on a piece of code, check for duplications with Sonar. If there are duplications:
- Analyze those duplications
- Try to remove this duplication by using inheritance or other suitable patterns (perform such action only if you have unit tests on the blocks to change)
- Or do not forget to replicate your changes wherever it is necessary on the duplicated blocks
Looking For Duplication
Add the Comments & Duplications widget to your dashboard:
From there, you can drill down to the resource viewer on the Duplications tab:
How to read the example above: There is duplication between three blocks of 12 lines. The first block in FindbugsVersion starts at line 43, the second block in CheckstyleVersion starts at line 40 and the third block in PmdVersion starts at line 40.
Activating Cross Project Duplication Detection
Log in as an admin, go to Configuration > Duplications and set the Cross project duplication detection property to true.
Run a new analysis on your project to detect duplications with other projects.

Second of two parts
Bad charities turn heart-rending tales about dying children and crippled firefighters and disabled veterans into hundreds of millions of dollars a year – and then give only a fraction of their booty to the causes they trumpet.
The overwhelming majority of this cash – some 77 percent – stuffs the pockets of professional fundraisers and managers who orchestrate dialing-for-dollars phone drives, according to a recent investigation of America's 50 Worst Charities by our colleagues at the Center for Investigative Reporting and the Tampa Bay Times.
The 50 worst raised $1.3 billion over 10 years – and almost $1 billion of it went straight to fundraisers.
We at The Watchdog have been warning you about this stuff for years. The Association for Firefighters and Paramedics of Santa Ana (No. 14 worst on CIR's list) has been a case in point, giving only 3 percent or less of its millions to burn victims over a decade. We told you Thursday about how the California attorney general sued the charity in 2009, saying it blatantly lied to donors about how much of their money would go to burn victims, and tried to trick them into believing that they had donated before, when in fact they had not.
The charity agreed to a settlement in 2010, which brought it under the watchful eye of the state attorney general. But one could argue that things only got worse: Before the attorney general's action, the charity devoted 3 percent of spending to burn victims. Afterwards, that dropped to 1.5 percent. Meanwhile, payments to professional fundraisers actually rose under the attorney general's nose, from 86.2 percent to 89.2 percent of spending.
"The AGs really need charity laws with more teeth to them," said Sandra Miniutti, a vice president with nonprofit watchdog Charity Navigator, by email. "While we don't like it, there isn't a law to prevent a charity from spending only 1.5 percent on its charitable mission."
This makes some people want to tear out their hair. Why can't bad charities be shut down? If governments grant tax-exempt status, why can't they yank that away?
Some states – though not California – are trying.
"The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled on this four times, so the question is pretty much settled: You can't legislate against high fundraising costs," said Doug White, a nonprofit consultant who teaches ethics and fundraising for Columbia University's Master of Science in Fundraising Management program. "It comes down to a freedom of speech issue, which conflicts with keeping a charity efficient.
"Can you do what Oregon is trying to do? I hope so. I really do hope so. Your California attorney general is saying we can't do it – but there has to be some way to get at this problem."
What is Oregon doing? It is the first state in the nation to pass a law that will punish nonprofits for spending too little on their core missions – and too much on fundraising and management.
How? Oregon will simply yank state and local tax exemptions from charities that devote more than 70 percent of their spending to management and fundraising over a three-year period. They'd retain federal tax exempt status – but they'd have to pay state and local taxes, including property taxes. The trailblazing bill was signed into law by Oregon's governor in June, and was supported, somewhat incredibly, by the Nonprofit Association of Oregon.
A similar idea is being kicked around in Florida, where 11 of America's 50 worst charities are located. The Sunshine State's charity regulator wants nonprofits to dedicate at least 25 percent of spending to core programs.
These bars are set quite low, mind you. The Better Business Bureau likes to see charities dedicate 65 percent of spending to core programs and services; while nonprofit watchdog Charity Navigator likes to see 75 percent. Oregon is requiring only 30 percent, while Florida has proposed only 25 percent. Far, far below what's considered ideal.
"(S)how me a nonprofit that uses 70% of its funds for overhead and I predict with a great deal of certainty that it is an organization that is either clueless or focused on lining someone's pockets rather than effectively serving others," wrote Ken Berger, president and CEO of Charity Navigator, in a blog post.
Berger, and many others on the outside, think these laws are great ideas – and possible, depending how hard the charities lobby against them.
For better or worse, many on the inside are prepared to do just that.

Visit the Musée Marc-Chagall, home to the largest collection of the artist's works, including the 17-canvas Biblical Message, and stroll the outdoor flower market. Reboard the ship for lunch and cruise to Cannes.
Settled as a fishing village by monks, Cannes today is the quintessence of dazzling Riviera allure and host of the international film festival. Follow the picturesque, palm-lined La Croisette promenade to the medieval lanes, churches and castle of Le Suquet, and visit nearby Vallauris, where Pablo Picasso discovered his passion for ceramics. See the bay of Golfe-Juan, where Napoleon Bonaparte landed after his escape from exile and began his 100-day reign that ended at Waterloo.
Join the Captain for a Farewell Reception this evening. (B,R,D)
Day 8 — Carcassonne
Settled on the frontier between France and Spain along ancient trade routes linking the Atlantic with the Mediterranean and Iberian Peninsula, the medieval core of Carcassonne, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has been occupied since the 6th century B.C., fortified by the Romans, conquered by the Visigoths in the 5th century, overrun by Persians in the 7th century, and repelled centuries of invading Franks and hoards of Barbarians, who each left their indelible influence on the extraordinary architectural and artistic heritage of the city. Walk the cobblestone streets, admire the drawbridges and watchtowers, and enjoy the joyous ringing of bells that evoke the gothic and medieval past of Carcassonne.
After lunch on your own, visit the Romanesque Abbey of Fontfroide. (B,D)

GARETH DUNCAN, writing in SA Rugby magazine, gives Grey College a chance to respond to recent poaching allegations.
It's the Monday morning after the 2010 Currie Cup final and Grey College's assembly commences. Headmaster Johan Volsteedt addresses the school and announces that eight Grey College old boys have been included in the 30-man Springbok touring squad.
'Frans Steyn, CJ van der Linde, Flip van der Merwe, Bismarck du Plessis, Jannie du Plessis, Ruan Pienaar, Adriaan Strauss and Coenie Oosthuizen,' Volsteedt reads out proudly, followed by a huge cheer from the boys.
Later that afternoon, I find myself in Volsteedt's company and he tells me: 'That number has increased to nine. Burger's out of the Bok tour with a rib injury and has been replaced by another one of our old boys, Deon Stegmann. Let me be a bit windgat for a second. How many schools in the country, or even the world, can say they have contributed nine former students to a national sports squad?'
This season, Grey College were again the best rugby school in the country. Their 1st XV was undefeated – beating other top sides like Paul Roos (41-29), Glenwood (19-6), Affies (23-6) and Paarl Gym (23-12) – and had six SA Schools and seven SA U18 High Performance representatives, the most in the country.
While the Bloemfontein-based school continues to produce top rugby players year after year, some have questioned their methods. In the 'Prepared to Poach' article published in the October issue of SA Rugby magazine, Grey College was said to be the 'main culprit' of poaching at schoolboy level. The writer pointed out that seven boys had arrived at the school after Grade 8 and gone on to play 1st XV rugby this year, and also mentioned Marcel van der Merwe, the South Africa U20 prop who arrived at Grey College in his matric year in 2009.
Other schools have also accused Grey College of poaching their players. Some boys have claimed they were offered bursaries to transfer to Bloemfontein, while others believe that 'poached' Grey College players do not have to pay school fees. Volsteedt and Grey College head of rugby Dries van der Wal refute this.
'We do not buy players or offer bursaries,' says Volsteedt. 'Some of our old boys do offer to pay the fees of talented pupils who can't afford to come here, but it's not only rugby boys and there are only a few examples of these cases. If we're winning games every week, why do we need to go out and buy more players?
'We also want our students to have a strong sense of Grey tradition, to be proud of the school and to play their hearts out for the team because they love the school. You can only get that if a boy is here for a number of years.'
Van der Wal adds: 'Poaching is when a school goes up to a player, asks him to come to the school and offers him a bursary or money to win him over. We do market our school but we do not poach players.'
'My role as head of rugby is to ensure Grey College rugby remains strong,' says Van der Wal. 'We have approached players at the U13 Craven Week and U16 Grant Khomo Week and given them a letter – signed by me – that invites them to apply at our school. But these players apply like any other student who wants to come to Grey College. They don't get any special treatment.
'We don't persist after the initial approach. In fact, we don't even take their contact details. If we don't get a reply from the boys we approach, we accept that they're not interested.
'I don't know where these bursary claims come from. There are no sports bursaries at Grey College. Bursary forms don't even exist, so it's strange that boys claim they received them.'
The letter approach, which is sometimes attached with an application form, may appear to be devious and unethical but Van der Wal says it is an appropriate method of scouting.
'I know of schools that actually go out and buy players. We don't do that. It's a player's right to go to the school of his choice. If the letter interests a boy and he wants to come to Grey College, he should be given the chance to apply.
'It also allows us to scout for talented players of colour. There is a lack of them in the Bloemfontein area so by going to the U13 and U16 provincial weeks, we can find appropriate candidates.'
Volsteedt admits, though, that Grey PE students were approached by Grey College at the U16 Grant Khomo Week.
'We make sure we don't approach boys from schools we play against regularly, but a young teacher has made that mistake and now we have been accused of poaching,' he says. 'The teacher approached those players as EP players, not Grey PE students. As a result, we will no longer scout at the Grant Khomo Week. We do not want to give people reason to label us as poachers.'
Van der Wal adds: 'We will only be scouting at the U13 Craven Week now, but it doesn't mean we won't accept boys after Grade 9. If a boy submits a good application, we won't turn him away.'
Jan Serfontein, who arrived at Grey College from Grey PE in Grade 10 in 2009, elaborates on the Grey PE incident.
'I heard about it and I know the two players who claimed to get bursary forms,' he says. 'But they were confused. They thought the forms were for a bursary, but they were just normal application forms.'
Of the seven late arrivals who played for Grey Bloem's 1st XV this year, only one does not pay his own school fees. Wing Ruwellyn Isbel, who arrived in Bloemfontein after impressing at an U16 schools tournament at Paarl Gymnasium in 2008, receives funding from a Grey old boy, the father of Isbel's 1st XV team-mate William Small-Smith.
'There was no way my mother could afford to send me to Grey, so I was delighted to get the opportunity to attend Grey College,' says Isbel, whose father passed away when he was younger. 'I want to establish a rugby career and they can help me do that.
'It's strange that Gill [College, Isbel's former school] 1st XV coach Eddie Simmons said that I left because of a "moerse bursary''. I didn't even play in the 1st XV and he knew nothing about the move. I left for a better opportunity.'
According to Grey Bloem, this opportunity is the reason for the influx of junior talent to the school and those who accuse it of poaching fail to take its rugby structures and facilities into account.
First XV preparation starts shortly after the end of a season in the fourth term, where trials are held and a provisional squad is formed.
There are six members on the coaching staff – forwards coach Ingo Machts, backline coach Roelf Meyer, defence and skills coach Hein Vosloo, conditioning coach Michiel Badenhorst, head of rugby and team manager Van der Wal and former London Irish and Saracens fullback Michael Horak, who's a consultant.
The school has eight rugby fields and a gym, which is run by four conditioning coaches. Sheryll Calder, the former Boks visual coach, also has an office at the gym and PVM supplements are made available to the boys.
If a player gets injured, proper rehabilitation is provided.
The players who arrived late at Grey College (after Grade 10) say they did so because of these and other benefits.
'My parents moved to Bloemfontein as my father's business transferred here and my mother got a post at Eunice, a nearby girls school,' says Serfontein. 'I guess I could've stayed at Grey PE as a boarder, but I wanted to go to Grey Bloem.
'I want to measure myself against the best and I can only do that at Grey College. If I stayed at Grey PE, I would have to play for EP at Craven Week if selected and their junior rugby isn't taken seriously. But at Grey College, I can play for Free State, which is a bigger union.'
The late arrivals insist they aren't given an easy ride into the 1st XV.
'When I arrived here, I played for the U16C team in Grade 10 and then for the 3rd XV in Grade 11,' says scrumhalf Kevin Luiters. 'I came here as a "nobody'' and had to work hard to earn a spot in the 1st XV.'
In the case of Van der Merwe, former Grey College head boy Robert Ebersohn talks about meeting the prop at the Cape Town airport.
'I didn't know him, I was travelling with the Cheetahs while he returned from Craven Week with the WP team. He told me he was too old to play Craven Week in his matric year and he wanted to move to Grey College to experience life in Bloem as he had received a junior contract from Free State.
'I told him about Joubert Horn, who arrived at Grey in my matric year. He was also too old for Craven Week and moved to Bloem. He did well but I told Marcel it was his decision.'
Grey Bloem's late arrivals
Arrival: Grade 10 (2009) from Grey PE.
Position: Centre/wing.
Reason for move: 'My parents moved to Bloem, so I applied at Grey College and got accepted. I could've stayed at Grey PE as a boarder but I want to measure myself against the best.'
Arrival: Grade 10 (2009) from Hoërskool Rustenburg.
Position: Tighthead prop.
Reason for move: 'It was my choice to come here, I wasn't even approached. I wanted to take my rugby seriously. In order to do that, I had to move to a bigger school in a strong union.'
Arrival: Grade 11 (2010) from Hoërskool Duineveld.
Position: Flank.
Reason for move: 'I was approached at the U16 Grant Khomo Week while playing for Griquas last year. I wanted to come here because I liked what I saw and there were better opportunities for me at Grey College.'
Arrival: Grade 11 (2009) from Hoërskool Ermelo.
Position: No 8.
Reason for move: 'My family moved to Wesselsbron, near Bloem. I didn't want to leave Ermelo, but when the opportunity to go to Grey came up, I was interested.'
Arrival: Grade 10 (2008) from Gill College.
Position: Wing.
Reason for move: 'I want to establish a rugby career and Grey can help me do that. I wouldn't have gotten the same rugby opportunities at Gill.'
Arrival: Grade 10 (2008) from Selborne College.
Position: Scrumhalf.
Reason for move: 'I had a fallout with my coach at Selborne College after he dropped me for non-rugby reasons. I believe the grudge had something to do with my uncle being Allister Coetzee – the coach seemed to be jealous of what Coetzee had achieved with the Boks. After playing against Grey College that year, I knew I would develop into a better player there.'
Arrival: Grade 9 (2007) from Selborne College.
Position: Flank.
Reason for move: 'I wanted to go to Grey College initially but my parents thought the fees would be too high. After finding out that the fees were affordable, I decided I wanted to leave Selborne for Grey.'

Speaking Truth to Power and Its Consequences
When Joseph Wilson IV went to the African nation of Niger in 2002 at the behest of the CIA to investigate intelligence claims that Iraq was actively seeking to purchase uranium, he had no idea that he would he stepping into a web of political and personal intrigue that would develop into one of the biggest scandals of the Bush Administration. Wilson's mission concluded in his belief that the intelligence was unfounded, and he reported his findings to the CIA upon his return: but when President Bush's 2003 State of the Union Address nonetheless made reference to Iraq's efforts to acquire uranium in Niger, Wilson felt obligated to go public with his experiences. In retaliation, sources in the Bush Administration leaked the identity of Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, as an employee of the CIA, effectively ending her undercover career. Since then Wilson has devoted himself to exposing the sordid governmental practices that led to the suppression of his conclusions from Niger and the illegal revelation of his wife's identity.
Joseph Wilson IV has had a long and distinguished career in the service of the United States. His official career in the diplomatic corps extended over two decades, beginning in 1976 and ending in 1998: during that time he was stationed at some of the most important diplomatic positions on the international stage, including a stint as Deputy Chief of Mission in the U.S. embassy in Iraq from 1988 to 1991. Since his retirement in 1998 he has led JC Wilson International Ventures Corp., a company focused on international business development.
Rethinking Vietnam
LUNCH- 11:45 a.m., LECTURE- 12:15 p.m.
A generation after the end of the Vietnam War, most older Americans — and even those who did not live through the Vietnam era — still view Vietnam through the lens of that conflict.
The normalization of the relations between the United States and Vietnam prompted some rethinking of how Americans should view Vietnam. When President Clinton visited Vietnam in November 2000, Senator John Kerry said Clinton's visit "will take place against the backdrop of the past, but it will — and should — focus on the future — and the new relationship that Vietnam and the United States are building. In the American consciousness, Vietnam is finally not just a war, but a country."
Yet it is still difficult for most older Americans to avoid looking at Vietnam with the war in mind. This talk will attempt to examine how looking at Vietnam's contemporary realities on their own terms, stripping away the historical baggage of the war, might contribute to a better understanding of that country's current situation. If we did look at Vietnam as a country, not a war, how would it affect the questions we ask and the answers to those questions? Yet, finally, in America there is no getting around the fact that most people are interested in the subject because it is inextricably linked to our own past. Thus we will conclude with some observations on what we have learned about the Vietnam War in recent years that may affect our understanding of this turbulent episode in the latter half of the past century.
Dr. David Elliott is H. Russell Smith Professor of Government and International Relations at Pomona College. He has maintained a long personal and professional association with Vietnam, including his military service (1963-65), participation in the Rand Corporation research project (1965-67), doctoral research in Vietnam (1971-72), and several visits to that country after its unification. Upon completion of his doctoral degree at Cornell University, Professor Elliott taught at Cornell for a year and then moved to Pomona College in 1977. Among his many scholarly publications is a two-volume book on the Vietnamese revolution entitled The Vietnamese War: Revolution and Social Change in the Mekong Delta (published in 2002). His lecture is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
'We the People' and Our Architecture
In Allen Greenherg's mind, the link between architectural design and political theory is as clear and meaningful as the aesthetic beauty of the design itself. Greenberg believes that America's architectural tradition and political beliefs share a deep connection, and that the architectural patterns of the nation's history provide important clues as to the goals and values of Americans throughout the history of the United States. In architecture, he sees a noble and marvelous expression of the democratic ideals at the very heart of American society.
Allen Greenberg was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and received his formal training in classical and Gothic architecture from the University of Witwatersrand. After receiving a Master of Architecture degree from Yale University in 1965, he worked for two years for the City of New Haven's Redevelopment Agency. He has also served as an Architectural Consultant to the Chief Justice of the state of Connecticut from 1967 to 1979, and during this period he was proud to become an official citizen of the United States.
In his long and distinguished career, Greenberg has taught at Yale University's School of Architecture and School of Law, as well as the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University's Division of Historic Preservation. He has written several books on traditional architecture and design, including George Washington, Architect, which was released in 1999. His latest book, Architecture of Democracy: The Founding Fathers' Vision for America, is due out in 2006.
Allan Greenberg's Athenaeum lecture is sponsored by the Salvatori Center.
Japan's History Problem: The Legacies of World War II for Japan 's Role in Asia and the World
BAUER FORUM, 7:00 p.m.
Sixty years have passed since the Japanese defeat in 1945, yet Japanese relations with Asia and its efforts to define a role in the world remain plagued by memories of World War II. While many Japanese maintain the pacifism of the early postwar years, a growing number of new nationalists would like Japan to become a "normal nation" — one that need not apologize for its wartime behavior nor be constitutionally constrained from using its military power. Sheldon Garon explains the historical circumstances under which early postwar Japan became a "special nation," as well as the recent changes behind the new nationalism and strained relations with its East Asian neighbors. He will also discuss the differences in how Germany and Japan have confronted war memory, in addition to the role of U.S.-Japanese relations in this process of forgetting.
Professor Garon's book, The State and Labor in Modern Japan (1987), won the American Historical Association's 1988 John K. Fairbank Award for the best book in East Asian history. His second book, Molding Japanese Minds: The State in Everyday Life (1997), analyzes the modern Japanese state's remarkable success at mobilizing its people to act in the interests of prosperity and stability. Garon's project, Fashioning Cultures of Thrift: Promoting Saving in Japan and the World (2001), is a comparative history of several nations' efforts to encourage saving among their citizens. Together with Patricia Maclachlan, he has edited the forthcoming volume, The Ambivalent Consumer (2006), which examines discontents with American-style consumer culture in Asia and Europe.
The lecture will he presented at 7:00 p.m. in Bauer Forum. For more information please contact the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies, 621-8213 or 607-4225.
Innocent Voices
FILM SHOWING, 6:00 p.m.
When civil war broke out in El Salvador in the early 1980s, Oscar Torres, like all Salvadorenos, feared stray bullets. As an 11 year old boy, though, he faced a graver threat: conscription.
Innocent Voices (2004) is the graphic true story of Torres's struggle to dodge the government's routine youth roundups and bear the harrowing alternative — fighting for the guerilla movement, Farahunclo Marti parer la Liberation National.
This intimate, gripping portrayal of war and childhood resonates not only with the history of El Salvador but also with the estimated hundred of thousands of children currently involved in armed conflict worldwide.
Now 33 and a resident of Los Angeles, Torres co-wrote the screenplay with director Luis Mandoki. Scheduled to open in the U.S. on October 14th Innocent Voices has already received awards for best picture at international film festivals in Seattle, Berlin, and Toronto. Last year it was Mexico's entry to the Academy Awards.
The reception and dinner will be altered slightly in order to accommodate the showing of the film: the reception will begin at 5:00 p.m.. dinner at 5:30. with the film beginning at 6:00. Following the film, Oscar Torres will be interviewed by CMC Professor Gaston Espinosa and take questions from the audience.
Oscar Torres's visit to campus and the CMC screening of Innocent Voices are jointly sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies, the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights, the Chicano/Latino Student Affairs Center, and the Athenaeum.
Judge and Jury: American Tort Law on Trial
When a woman successfully sued McDonalds after spilling hot coffee on herself, many Americans concluded that the nation was at the mercy of a "litigation explosion." But how much of the proliferation of frivolous lawsuits has to do with frivolous individuals and how much is institutionalized in our system of civil justice?
In the first of the Athenaeum Economics and the Law series, Professor Eric Helland will analyze the tort system — the body of law that prevents and punishes accidents. He will discuss three of the key players — juries, judges, and lawyers — and examine the social costs of class action lawsuits, medical malpractice insurance, workers' compensation, and punitive damages. Professor Helland will also compare the possibilities for reforming the tort system through award caps, federalization, or outright abandonment.
Eric Helland has taught in the economics department at CMC since 1998. He is also a senior economist at the RAND Corporation's Institute for Civil Justice. In 2003, he was a senior economist at the President's Council of Economic Advisers following a year as the John M. Olin Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago. He received his Ph.D. in economics from Washington University.
Illusions of Memory
Elizabeth Loftus is one of the world's foremost experts in the study of repressed memory, as well as the practical consequences such repression can have on eyewitness testimony and the successful application of the law. She is a Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Irvine, where she is a member of the Departments of Psychology & Social Behavior, Law & Society, and Criminology. She also holds an appointment in the Department of Cognitive Sciences, and serves as a Fellow of the Center of Neurobiology of Learning and Memory. In addition to her academic position she is a prolific and highly accomplished author, having published over 20 books and 400 scientific articles throughout her distinguished career, including Eyewitness Testimony (1979), which was awarded the National Media Award from the American Psychological Foundation.
Loftus' research, concentrating on human memory with a specific focus towards the dangers of flawed memories in the criminal justice system, has earned her great recognition and countless awards, including the 1995 Distinguished Contribution to Basic and Applied Scientific Psychology Award from the American Academy of Forensic Psychology and the 2001 Williams James Fellow Award from the American Psychological Society. Her lecture at the Athenaeum will detail the power of imagination and suggestion in the formation of personal memory, as well as the fascinating effects these forces can have on long-term thought and future behavior. She will also discuss the legal ramifications of flawed memories and false beliefs as they relate to the role of the witness in modern legal systems.
The Poet in Nature
Over the course of a career that has spanned five decades, W.S. Merwin has become one of the most influential poets in America. His deep personal beliefs, profound love for language, and constant ability to renew and reinvent his poetic persona have led to widespread recognition among both literary and popular circles. His first published work, A Mask for Janus, came in 1952 as a part of the Yale Younger Poets Award, which was chosen by W.H. Auden. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for The Carrier of Ladders (1970), a book of poems, and his career would eventually include poetry, prose, translations, essays, and a personal memoir Summer Doorways, published in September 2005.
In 1999, Merwin was named Poetry Consultant to the Library of Congress along with poets Rita Dove and Louise Gluck. Besides the Pulitzer Prize he is also the recipient of the Tanning Prize, the Bollingen Prize, and the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, as well as the beneficiary of the prestigious Lannan Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2005 he was honored as laureate of the Struga Poetry Evenings Festival in Macedonia, and in the process he received the Golden Wreath Award, a prominent award in international poetry.
Merwin finds much of his motivation in the natural world, and his deeply held environmentalist and pacifist beliefs seamlessly blend together to discover the relationship between nature and the language of mankind. His lecture at the Athenaeum will delve into these personal beliefs that shape the writings of one of America's premier literary minds.
Halloween Magic
Continuing a tradition in celebrating Halloween, the Athenaeum will host a special dinner with entertainment provided by magician George Swaner.
A native of La Canada, CA, George Swaner was first introduced to magic through his dad. He began learning and performing magic at the young age of eight.
Now in his fourth year wowing the CMC community, George performs close up style magic with coins and playing cards. He is a member of and performer at the Magic Castle, an exclusive club in Hollywood and home to the Academy of Magical Arts. He has also performed for organizations such as the Rotary Club and Habitat for Humanity.
At CMC, George is a psychology and French dual major. He also plays on the CMS men's soccer team.
After George's show at the Athenaeum, the Halloween festivities will continue with palm and tarot card readings by Psychic Linda in Frazee Game Room.
Let's Talk About 'Segregation'
How fully has America overcome the bitter legacy of centuries of racial injustice? And more specifically, is the society still "segregated"? Stephan Thernstrom will look racial clustering in neighborhoods and schools, and ask whether black residential concentrations today are radically different from those of Jews, Koreans, and other groups. Abigail Thernstrom will explore current public policy, with a special emphasis on the role of the federal government in deliberately separating black and Hispanic voters into their own electoral districts--reinforcing notions of racially distinct values--and the consequences of doing so.
Abigail Thernstrom is a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute in New York, a member of the Massachusetts State Board of Education, and a vice-chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. She received her Ph.D. from the Department of Government, Harvard University, in 1975.
Stephan Thernstrom is the Winthrop Professor of History at Harvard University where he teaches American social history. He graduated with highest honors from Northwestern University in 1956, and was awarded the Ph.D. by Harvard in 1962. He held appointments as assistant professor at Harvard, associate professor at Brandeis University, and professor at UCLA before returning to Harvard as a professor in 1973. In 1978-1979 he was the Pitt Professor of American History and Institutions at Cambridge University and Professorial Fellow at Trinity College.
The Thernstroms are the co-authors of America in Black and White: One Nation, Indivisible (1997)(Simon & Schuster), which the New York Times Book Review, in its annual end-of-the-year issue, named as one of the notable books of 1997. Their latest book, No Excuses: Closing the Racial Gap in Learning, was published by Simon & Schuster in October 2003. They are also the editors of a Beyond the Color Line: New Perspectives on Race and Ethnicity (1997).
Abigail and Stephan Thernstrom's Athenaeum presentation is sponsored by the Salvatori Center at Claremont McKenna College.
America's Perlious Path in the Middle East
As the importance of the Middle East grows almost on a daily basis, and as the United States becomes more and more involved in the intricacies and dangers of Middle Eastern politics, it is becoming clear that the basic Western understanding of the cultural and political forces of the region is sorely lacking. How did today's Middle East come into being, and what influence did western powers have in shaping the political and economic realities of the region? Where are the forces of nationalism strongest in the Middle East, and what effect does this have on Middle Eastern politics? What are the prospects for democratic growth among the many authoritarian governments in the region, and what kind of democracy might emerge from such radical change?
Professor Rashid Khalidi, the Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies and Director of the Middle East Institute at Columbia University, is internationally recognized as one of today's premier experts in both the formation of and the present developments within the Middle East. He is the author or co-editor of a number of books analyzing the complexities of the Middle East, including Palestinian Identity: The Construction of Modern National Consciousness (1998); The Origins of Arab Nationralism (1991); and, most recently, Resurrecting Empire: Western Footprints and America's Perilous Path in the Middle East (2004).
Professor Khalidi's talk is the second in the series Islam: Past and Present, a year long series at the Athenaeum focusing upon the confluence between historical forces of the Middle East and their implications for the present day.
World Poverty: Explanations and Responsibilities
We citizens of the affluent countries tend to discuss our obligations toward the distant needy in terms of donations and transfers, assistance and redistribution: "How much of our wealth, if any, should we give away to the hungry abroad?" According to philosopher, Thomas Pogge, this way of conceiving the problem is a serious moral error, and a very costly one for the global poor. It depends on the false belief — widespread in the rich countries — that the causes of the persistence of severe poverty are wholly indigenous to the countries in which it occurs. Pogge agrees that there are indeed national and local factors that contribute to persistent poverty in developing countries. But global institutional rules also play an important role in its reproduction, in part by sustaining the national and local factors that affluent Westerners most like to blame for the problem. Since these rules are shaped by our governments, in our name, we hear moral responsibility not merely by assisting the distant poor too little, but also, and more significantly, by harming them too much.
Since receiving his Ph.D. in philosophy from Harvard, Thomas Pogge has been teaching moral and political philosophy and Kant at Columbia University. His recent publications include Freedom from Poverty as a Human Right, edited, Oxford forthcoming: World Poverty and Human Rights, Polity 2002; and with Sanjay Reddy "How Not to Count the Poor," in Anand and Stiglitz, eds.: Measuring Global Poverty, Oxford forthcoming.
Pogge is editor for social and political philosophy for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science, and is currently Professorial Research Fellow at the ANU Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics.

|Fun Times at the Firehouse Family Chili Cook-off and Block Party
Lots of fun was stirred up on Saturday, October 16 when All Children's Hospital, Kohl's Cooks for Kids, St. Pete Fire and Rescue (Fossil Park Station) along with media partners Radio Disney, Parent Guide Magazine and Good Living Magazine sponsored the Firehouse Family Chili Cook-off and Block Party.
The Family Chili Cook-off activity was part of a very special community program known as Kohl's Cooks for Kids. For the past three years, a grant from Kohl's has been supporting the efforts at All Children's to help families learn about nutrition and preparing healthy meals. Under the Kohl's grant All Children's offers fun and interactive classes and events that encourage children to make healthy choices and teaches them basic culinary skills so they can assist the family in making tasty and healthy recipes.
The Kohl's Associates in Action team (AiA) and Allen Crabtree, manager of the St. Petersburg Kohl's store were on hand to present a check for $216,365 for the continued support of the Kohl's Cooks for Kids programs with All Children's Hospital. Ten families pre-registered for the opportunity to compete for top chili recipe prizes including, $150, $100, and $75 gift cards to Publix. The winner of the top recipe received a $75 gift card to Toys R Us.
Thousands attended the Block party event and many had a chance to taste test all the recipes from the young chefs. A panel of expert judges, including culinary experts and firefighters were on hand to interview and decide on the top recipes that included, Tur-Veggie Chili from Chef Cameron, Not My Mama's Chili, from Chef Aaliyah and Grandma's Chili, from Chef Alyssa.

Of course you feel real.
That is the great consensus delusion.
It's no delusion. I can verify my experiences using empirical data that can be confirmed by other people. People can also have their perception of reality falsified by others using empirical evidence (ie colourblind people).
To you the world that you experience during your night-time dreams appears to to be real.
But it all appears as a collage constructed from your personal collection of memories.
There is no difference between your night-time dream and your day-time dream.
Not sure what your dreams are like but mine are very different from reality.
You are a program whose function is to increase its host's chances to survive and reproduce.
The program evolved to seek ways to make the organism's life better.
It is not really interested in becoming more educated so it can make more moral decisions.
It merely desires to relieve the fear and stress that comes from the innate fear of its own impending doom.
The persona can never see its own peculiar circumstance simply because it IS the circumstance.
The one being dreamt can never have access to the dreamer.
There is. however, a most peculiar perspective that occurs when the sense of self gets a peek up its own skirts that cannot be articulated simply because the arena out of which it emerges is the objectified overlay.
It's a hell of a problem…...that doesn't even exist.
Sorry I don't see it that way. We are not a program, in fact I think that consciousness itself is simply a byproduct of our brain's ability to process data, and therefore it is not subject to natural selection.
People actively show interests in education all the time. You learn so you can become educated and compete in the business world, for example. Some people understand the concepts of improving societies morals and campaign to do such things. They actively seek to educate themselves on matters to assist them in doing this.
As for the rest of you post, you might want to articulate you opinion so it is easier to understand.
