The Test Sample
What is being tested?
These tests detect the presence of disease-causing (pathogenic) Escherichia coli that produce Shiga toxins. E. coli bacteria commonly occur in nature and they are a necessary component of the digestive process in humans and most other mammals. Most strains of E. coli are harmless, but pathogenic E. coli can be responsible for inflammation of the stomach and intestines (gastroenteritis). There are multiple subtypes of E. coli that cause diarrheal illness, and they are classified by the mechanisms by which they cause disease. For example, some invade the lining of the intestines, causing inflammation, while others produce toxins.
E. coli that produce poisons called Shiga toxins are generally the only type of E. coli that are tested for in clinical settings from stool specimens. The Shiga toxins associated with these infections are so called because they are related to the toxins produced by another type of disease-causing bacteria, Shigella.
A strain of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) called O157:H7 has been responsible for many outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness in the U.S, though there are also non-O157 strains of STEC that are gaining recognition in individual cases and outbreaks. For example, an outbreak of E. coli O104:H4, a non-O157 STEC, was associated with travel to Germany and resulted in 32 deaths in 2011 from eating contaminated sprouts. In 2007, STEC O157:H7 was responsible for 7% of gut-related diseases reported to all U.S. health agencies.
Outbreaks have been linked to the consumption of contaminated food, including undercooked ground beef, unpasteurized juice, raw milk, and raw produce such as leafy greens and alfalfa sprouts. STEC may also be transmitted through contaminated water, contact with farm animals or their environment, and from person to person.
In addition to symptoms of nausea, severe abdominal cramps, watery diarrhea, fatigue, or possible vomiting and low grade fever, STEC infections are often associated with bloody stools and can lead to serious complications, specifically hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). HUS is a result of the toxin entering the blood and destroying red blood cells (hemolysis). It can lead to kidney failure (uremia or the build up of nitrogen wastes in the blood) and can be life-threatening. Signs and symptoms include decreased frequency of urination (evidence of uremia), fatigue, and pale skin due to hemolytic anemia. HUS usually develops about a week after the onset of diarrhea.
Approximately 8% of people who are diagnosed with an O157 STEC infection develop HUS. Children, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems are at greatest risk. However, most healthy persons recover from a STEC infection within a week and do not develop HUS. Non-O157 Shiga toxin producing E. coli can cause the same symptoms and complications and likely account for 20-50% of STEC infections in the U.S. annually. Different testing techniques are required to identify O157 and non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing E. coli.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A fresh liquid or unformed stool sample is collected in a clean dry container. The stool sample should not be contaminated with urine or water. Once it has been collected, the stool should be taken to the laboratory immediately or refrigerated and taken to the lab as soon as possible. Some laboratories provide transport media to support the survival of the organism from the time of collection until delivery to the laboratory. STEC become difficult to detect in the stool after one week of illness, so the timing of sample collection relative to the onset of illness is important.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

UNDP in India: Results from 201031 Dec 2010
The UNDP India Annual Report for 2010 highlights results of UNDP's partnership with the Government of India and other stakeholders across our five programme areas-poverty reduction, democratic governance, energy and environment, crisis prevention and recovery, and HIV and development.
India's economic growth continues to remain an impressive achievement. Absolute numbers of the poor have declined and there has been a marked improvement in several social indicators. Government data suggests the country is well on target to achieving universal primary education, reducing gender disparities in primary and secondary education, reversing the incidence of HIV/AIDS and environmental losses. The implementation of several rights-based legislation frameworks have emerged as the cornerstone of poverty reduction strategies and have generated nation-wide debate on governance challenges. 2010 was a memorable year for champions of women's rights, with Rajya Sabha, the Upper House of the Parliament passing legislation to reserve 33 percent seats for women in Parliament.
However, work remains to be done and UNDP continues to be a committed partner of the Government of India in fulfilling its objective of inclusive growth. In doing so, our focus has been on the seven priority states outlined by the UNDAF that are home to India's poorest – Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Along with Uttarakhand, these states account for 64 percent of the population living below the poverty line. Across India, multi-dimensional poverty continues to rise. Recent government data on poverty based on new methodologies of estimation, has revised poverty upwards and rural poverty has also risen significantly.1 Further, poverty continues to remain concentrated in specific regions and social groups. Poverty levels are also much higher among people belonging to Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs)2 who comprise half of the poor and deprived households.
The mid-term review of the UNDP Country Programme (2008-12) in partnership with government counterparts, found progress well on track and outcomes achievable within the programme period. The review highlighted several key achievements – mainstreaming of accountability and transparency in national poverty reduction programmes; designing and implementing pilots to leverage change in national schemes; and ensuring the needs of the most marginalised are reflected in national policies.
UNDP's approach in India has been to develop and sustain strategic partnerships that find innovative solutions to address gaps on both the demand and supply side of development processes. Prototypes that demonstrate new ways of addressing persistent disparities have empowered communities to improve access to basic entitlements – whether in housing and employment under government schemes or in greater political voice. In 2010, a reconstruction process in Bihar that empowered home owners and communities to drive the process of rebuilding homes was scaled up by the state government to rebuild 100,000 homes destroyed by the Kosi floods of 2008. A biometric prototype that empowers workers employed as part of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) to directly access information on their entitlements is now the guiding force behind a national strategy on biometrics aimed at greater transparency in governance of the world's largest cash-for-work scheme. For the first time ever, women in eastern Uttar Pradesh led the way in local elections as a result of pre-election voter awareness efforts in the area.
Another approach of UNDP has been to bring diverse stakeholders, particularly from the less heard in civil society to the forefront. Sustained advocacy, for example, on behalf of the transgender community has resulted in greater recognition of their specific needs in planning and legal processes. Transgenders can now access free legal aid from the government, and with UNDP support, the community provided policy inputs to the 12th Five-Year planning process.
One of the most significant trends in UNDP's support to the Government of India over the past many decades has been a stronger collaboration on human development, its application in planning and analysing deprivation across the states. A recent evaluation points to the influence of this approach at almost all levels of government.
The task in the years ahead is to strengthen the human development approach, and to examine the structural and institutional underpinnings of inclusion and exclusion.
The UNDP India Annual Report for 2010 highlights some of these results across our five programme areas - poverty reduction, democratic governance, energy and environment, crisis prevention and recovery and HIV and development. In doing so, our focus is both on prototypes that offer the possibilities of change and support that has empowered the poor and marginalised to influence policy making processes across the country.

NEWPORT NEWS(AP) -- Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell is taking his sales pitch to change how Virginia pays for transportation projects to some of the state's most congested areas, including Hampton Roads.
The governor's bill would eliminate the state's 17.5-cent per gallon gas tax and replace it with a sales tax increase of less than a penny on the dollar. It also imposes a $100 fee on fuel-stingy hybrid cars.
The tax on diesel fuel remains and part of the funding scheme relies on Congress passing a law mandating state sales tax collections for online purchases.
Among other things, the five-year, $3.1 billion proposal would expand Interstate 64 between Newport News and Williamsburg. It would also provide additional funding for rail and transit projects.
'If you want a better quality of life, and you want to see jobs grow down here, we've got to have better transportation, so I hope people will support it. Call your legislator. That's what we need right now. The votes are next week, and we need to get this done,' said Gov. McDonnell.
McDonnell is scheduled to be at Huntington Ingalls Industries, the Bateman Center, at 2401 West Avenue in Newport News at 2:45 p.m. Before coming here, he'll be in Herndon. His appearance in Roanoke was canceled due to the weather.
His transportation funding bill has cleared its first hurdles in the General Assembly, but it still has a long way to go.
The governor feels this is an historic opportunity to get things done. 'Doing some tax reform, making priorities out of the General Fund, and using greater funding mechanisms from the Congress, we can put together this package: $845 million a year that will do some great things down here,' the governor said.
The Senate Transportation Committee on Wednesday advanced the five-year, $3.1 billion funding package to the Finance Committee.
In the House Finance Committee, which clears tax and revenue legislation, more than a dozen transportation-related bills were either rolled into McDonnell's package or tabled.

First Night Jitters
With the first CBS show under our belt, we had some time to kill before the feeds went live. How did you spend that time? In my case, it was primarily drinking. As time clicked closer and closer to 11 pm (I'm a central time zoner), the anticipation grew. Just how different were these people from what we saw on the show? Was Jessie still bragging about her hotness? Has Elissa taken over the show, ala her sister's two seasons?
The time finally came, and a quick refresh of my browser and this is what I saw:
YES! Girl party!
Unfortunately, the eastern portion of the country didn't see this. They saw nothing. Apparently, there was a glitch of some sort caused by the fact it was past midnight, and the official Big Brother clock was a different date than my east coast friends. It was discovered that if they backtracked a few hours, and then hit live, they'd be online. Or if they changed their computer's clock.
So what did we see? The first thing I noticed was a sad Jessie. This was not the over-confident, self-procliamed "hot girl" we saw on the CBS broadcast. Nope, she was a pure mope.
We found out a bit later that there were two reasons for her attitude. One reason was that she was nominated for by McCrae (along with Candice), and, probably more importantly in her mind, she was having boy problems with Jeremy. I guess we do have a love triangle in the house, with the third party being the lovely Kaitlin.
There's also another couple in the house. Aaryn is with David and there's talk that they knew each other before the show. This needs further investigation. There was also supposedly a pre-live feed cat fight that involved Candice. I don't know much about this at this point.
They boys all have alliances with each other, and most of them have multiple alliances. They're playing hard right off the back, particularly Nick. I have to say I completely misjudged him in the pre-show videos. He may ultimately hurt himself by playing so hard so fast, but he is a smart cookie.
For a guy like me, this is a wonderful cast. All of the girls are relatively attractive. Candice is the least appealing for me, but even she cannot be described in derogatory terms. For female fans, though, it's a disaster. Seriously, these dudes are all dorks! Why oh why do multiple women want stupid Jeremy?
I didn't last long with the feeds last night, as the effects of the alcohol made me weary. There's also the fact that the first night of feeds is a bit of a cluster fuck in multiple voices babbling at the same time. But at least there was no "Big Booty".

Satisfaction and loved result
I am very happy with the rehearsal dinner invites both in quality and appearance. I was impressed by the user friendly personalization feature. I was able to change the text, font and color with the click of a button and see what was changed immediately and how the card would look when printed. The mailing was quick both for the sample and the finished product.
Wish I had paid more attn. to small font size
Perfect and beautiful printing, just wish I had paid more attention to small lines and sizes of fonts. I would size it up a little
Beautiful Invitation
MagnetStreet is a great website with high quality invitations and other stationary. I ordered my save-the-dates from here as well using the "Forever Yours" carrier card and loved them. The only complaint I have on the rehearsal dinner invites is that I could not order a sample. Since I wasn't ordering that many it was ok but I really like that aspect of this website so I wish it had been an option on all stationary.
So Satisfied
I ordered Wedding Rehearsal Invitations, and I picked sayings from different invitations that I saw. Once I figured out what I wanted it was one, two, three. In less then two weeks my invitations were sitting at my front door. I would highly recommend this company, and I personally would use them again.
Once again Magnet Street has done an amazing job. The invites for the rehearsal dinner were great and arrived 4 days after we approved the proof. I didn't realize I made a mistake on one of the words and they bought it to my attention and after speaking on the phone with a rep, she helped me to achieve exactly what I wanted. Great Job and I am so happy I found Magnet Street and would DEFINITELY recommend any bride, or anyone for that matter to use them. Don't be afraid to ask, because they will go out of their way to give you exactly what you are looking for and want. Thank you once again Magnet Street!!!!

Ann Arbor, Mich. – The Miami University men's golf team is in fifth place after two rounds at the Wolverine Intercollegiate Tournament Monday. The RedHawks are currently at eight-over par after shooting a 292 in the morning and a 284 in the afternoon round. They are only five shots behind the leader, Michigan State, which is at three-over par.
"I'm pleased with our play today, particularly in the afternoon," said coach Zedrick. "This was our first 36-hole day of the year and to play even better in the afternoon says a lot about the progress we're making."
Sophomore Jack Sparling had the best day among the RedHawks. Shooting a 72 in the morning and a 70 in the afternoon round, Sparling is currently tied for eighth at even par coming into the final round of the tournament.
Junior Luke Shaughnessy is the next on the leader board for Miami. He shot rounds of 73 and 70 and is tied for 10th at one-over par. Close behind is junior Scott Cahill, who is tied for 14th at two-over par and senior Mark MacDonald, who is tied for 28th with five-over par. Sophomore Daniel Schwarz is tied for 35th at seven-over par.
"Tomorrow's a great opportunity, but it means focusing on taking care of our business," said Zedrick. "We have no control over what the other teams are doing. It's about trusting that us going out and playing well takes care of everything else."
The Wolverine Intercollegiate Tournament concludes with its final round on Tuesday.

Cloning software
by mopscare42 - 11/14/12 7:08 PM
Trying to clone my hard drive to a new SSD.
The Kingston SSD I bought uses Acronis, but the software won't work with my Alienware computer because the UEFI bios won't let it boot from a CD or USB drive. Anyway, that's what I was told why it's not working.
So I am looking for another program that will work.
What is a good cloning software I can download? Free would be nice if possible.
My neighbor said "Clonezilla" is one, but it is very complicated to use. So want to stay away from that if possible.

EMERALD ISLE — Parents of students at a Carteret County elementary school continue to garner support for a school resource officer, but how to fund it or any other new SRO position in the county remains up for discussion.
Town Commissioners in Emerald Isle joined other western Carteret County towns in their support of putting a school resource officer at White Oak Elementary School in Cape Carteret.
The town board voted unanimously Tuesday night to send a letter of support to the Carteret County Board of Education, with copies to the county Board of Commissioners and the sheriff's office.
Parents and representatives of the school initially appeared before the Cape Carteret Board of Commissioners to request the return of an SRO at the school following the mass shooting in December at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn.
A Cape Carteret police officer, whose salary was primarily funded by the town, previously served as SRO but due to ongoing staffing issues the town hasn't been able to keep an officer at the school this year.
Cape Carteret commissioners adopted a resolution in January asking that Carteret County put school resource officers in all elementary and primary schools in the county. The town also suggested a shared-funding plan among the western towns in the school's district for paying for an SRO at White Oak Elementary.
Related discussions have also taken place in Newport, where the town police department has expressed concerns about an increased number of calls to Newport Middle School since the loss of a SRO there several years ago.
Emerald Isle commissioners agreed to offer support at this time but hasn't committed any money. The Emerald Isle Police Department already conducts the D.A.R.E. program at While Oak Elementary at a cost of about $3,000 to $4,000 a year.
Mayor Art Schools said they want to wait and see what plans may be developed by the county or the school board before considering funding for an SRO.
"We hope there can be a workable solution for everyone," Schools said after the meeting.
The SRO issue hasn't appeared formally on the agendas of either the Board of Education or Board of Commissioners, but it appears it will be a topic of discussion during budget deliberations.
Board of Education Chairman Al Hill said the school system is working on its recommended budget for 2013-2014 to present to the county.
"I think we'll see discussions come up in the operations budget workshop (in March)," he said.
As budget deliberations evolve those discussions could also include county and municipal governments.
Hill said dialogue about safety and security in the schools overall began immediately after the Sandy Hook tragedy and has been ongoing.
"All of this is being discussed; we're on a positive track," he said.
Carteret County has state-funded SROs in all of its high schools.
The only formal request to the county for additional SROs has come through the Town of Cape Carteret. Newport officials met with county and school officials about their concerns but did not make a formal request.

Comments about Miche Pista Track Chain:
Last year I decided to build up a fixed gear bicycle for training, bad weather, and commuting purposes. My goals in this build were to have a bike built for speed without any exceptions.
I decided to purchase as many track specific parts as I could because of the stiffness, aggressive geometry, and sharp handling. However, building a track beauty and bringing on the streets almost seemed disrespectful. So, I looked for parts that where specific to the track and of quality but not such a large investment that I would be nervous and cringing with every pothole, puddle, and crack in the pavement.
This is where the Miche brand made my life easy. They offer a full line of track components of, what I feel, great quality and most importantly they come in at a reasonable price.
Every componenent I've purchased form this line has functioned flawlessly, looked great, and sat in line with my two original goals. Track specific (aggressive, fast, and stiff) and at a price tag I wouldn't feel guilty riding it all over the city.
Plus, it has a little Italian Heritage behind it. It makes you feel special, like you have something besides the norm.
The chain is no different. It is a great piece of equipment.
It comes well packaged and factory greased so there was no rust from storage. Most importantly it is 1/2 x 1/8. It is the proper chain to use on track specific chainrings and cogs. One of my most important stipulations.
The links are easy to manage and install was very easy.
It has been just about a year now since my purchase and install and the chain is truly worry free.
Stretch has been negligible.
Clean it, lube it, and forget about it. It is everything you need in a chain to fit your track specific components on your fixed gear project.
With all the options out there, I havn't looked back once.
Plus, at Jenson's price point and service, you cannot go wrong.

The Gulf of Thailand is, in the winter season, between November and March an area where you can count on steady winds of 15-30 knots. This time of the year there is the most agreeable climate, too, with temperatures of 24-35 C.
From April to mid June the hot season (up to 40 C ) follows, with still steady winds. Then the raining season is coming from July to end of October, with very calm up to stormy winds.
You rarely find winds with speeds over 50 knots and there is almost no chance that you are hit by a typhoon.
Two areas present themselves as ideal place to enjoy your holidays on a sailboat.

Golden Retriever
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
The Golden Retriever is a member of the Gundog and Sporting Group.
Male: 65-75 lb.; female: 55-65 lb.
Male: 23-24 inches; female: 21.5 – 22.5 inches at the withers.
The coat is various shades of gold. English goldens wear a light cream-color. Americans wear a darker shade of gold.
The Golden Retriever's straight or wavy coat is dense, waterproof and lustrous. The undercoat is dense. The outer coat lies close to the body and is firm and resilient. This breed sheds a thick winter coat.
This athletic breed is strong and playful. With an affectionate nature, the Golden Retriever can befriend other dogs, pets and strangers.
Country of Origin:
United Kingdom
In the 1800s, Lord Tweedmouth of Scotland bred a yellow Wavy-Coated Retriever with a Tweed Water Spaniel. Other breeds such as a black Retriever, Tweed Spaniel, Setters and a Bloodhound also contributed to the lineage. This breed functioned as a retriever and upland bird dog. Later in the U.S. this breed became very popular.
Also known as Yellow Retriever. Nicknames include Golden, Yellow Retriever, and Goldie.
This trustworthy breed is devoted and obedient. While hard to control as puppies, this breed matures as an active, playful companion. The Golden Retriever tolerates harsh working conditions. Some dogs sit patiently for hours in a hunting blind. This breed enjoys playing in cool water.
The well-bred Golden Retriever can be a good learner, eager to please. Obedience lessons are highly recommended. When well-trained, this dog is calm indoors. Training can make this breed fit as a guide dog, therapy dog or service dog for the disabled. This breed also helps immensely in search and rescue and narcotics detection.
The Golden Retriever requires daily physical and mental exercise. This breed loves a day in the field, perhaps retrieving and carrying objects in its mouth. A play stick, ball or flying disc is a great interaction toy.
As a social dog, the Golden Retriever is a charming family companion. With daily exercise outdoors, this breed needs to live indoors with human interaction. Never isolate or leave this pet alone for hours. This dog needs a medium to large yard. Although not meant as a guard dog, it has some watchdog abilities, such as being alert to strangers. Ensure a balanced diet. Be aware that this dog requires high maintenance. Many health problems can translate into expensive vet bills. This dog is prone to obesity. Owners who fail to take care of their dogs contribute to the tragic abandonment of this breed.
No breeders listed at this time.

Don't forget about type 1 diabetes

While some may say having type 1 diabetes might be Olivia's weakness, they obviously haven't met the precocious 8-year-old. (April 9, 2010, Page 1A)

Optical Brighteners: Just Say No to the Glow!
Cara Bondi, Research Chemist at Seventh Generation explains what optical brighteners are and why Seventh Generation doesn't use them: a real clean shouldn't be an optical illusion. Optical brighteners are synthetic chemicals that make fabrics appear to glow in the presence of ultraviolet light. They don't have anything to do with getting things clean -- they're only added to detergents to make us think our laundry is brighter and whiter than it really is. Designed to intentionally remain behind on our clothes and linens, optical brighteners rub off on our skin where they can cause a reaction that looks like sunburn. They're no fun for the environment either. Optical brighteners washed down our drains frequently survive wastewater treatment and escape into our lakes, rivers, and streams. Once there, they don't completely biodegrade and instead accumulate in fish.
Test Your Knowledge! Take this short quiz about optical brighteners after you watch the video.

Is Judaism a Political Philosophy? Reflections on Spinoza, Strauss, and Levinas
The Athenaeum is pleased to host Professor Oona Eisenstadt of Pomona College as the final speaker in the series on the political and Jewish thought behind the philosopher Leo Strauss. Professor Eisenstadt continues the exploration of the political theory to which Strauss contributed, and its intersection with modern Jewish theology. By looking at Strauss in the context of other Jewish philosophers, such as the French Jewish moral philosopher Emmanuel Lévinas and the Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza, Eisenstadt attempts to answer the question, "Is Judaism a political philosophy?"
Professor Eisenstadt holds the Fred Krinsky Chair of Jewish Studies and is assistant professor of Religious Studies at Pomona College, where she teaches about Jewish mysticism, religious ethics, and post-Holocaust philosophy. Eisenstadt received her undergraduate and doctoral degrees from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, before moving on to postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Toronto and Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Her current research involves interdisciplinary approaches to Levinas' postmodern philosophy, as referenced in her book, Driven Back to the Text: The Premodern Sources of Levinas' Postmodernism, published in 2001.
Professor Oona Eisenstadt presents the final lecture in the series "Leo Strauss and Modern Jewish Thought," planned in conjunction with Professor Gary Gilbert and co-sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights.
Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Man, Nature & Climate Change
Climate change has become a dominating topic as of late, affecting not just science but also politics, business, and every other social field. What once was confined to academic discussions has now exploded onto the world stage, and has taken the blame for terrible natural disasters: Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Rita, and the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, to name but a few. Fears of rising oceans and glacial retreat threaten to disrupt human endeavors worldwide. In the debate about global climate change that has erupted, it is necessary to confront the facts with a cool and sober demeanor and determine the best course of action.
Elizabeth Kolbert has attempted to sort through the polemic and expose the direct consequences that climate change is already incurring. Through poignant stories about natural disasters and a thorough review of the leading scientific studies, Kolbert's book, Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Man, Nature, and Climate Change (2006), examines the climate change debate and explores that consequences that will result from what Kolbert refers to as an unprecedented "climate regime, one with which modern humans have had no prior experience."
Kolbert, a staff writer for The New Yorker, began her book as part of three-part magazine series, expanding it and updating it to take into account the wealth of unprecedented new scientific evidence. Kolbert has studied at Yale University and the Universitat-Hamburg in Germany, and has also worked as a journalist for the New York Times. She is also the author of The Prophet of Love and Other Tales of Power and Deceit (2004), a modern examination of the personalities that dominate New York politics.
Kolbert's talk is part of the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum's ongoing series on climate change and is supported by a grant from the Andrew Mellon Foundation and the Roberts Environmental Center at CMC.
A Land Twice Promised
"An enemy is one whose story we have not heard"
-Gene Knudsen-Hoffman
It is difficult to read the news without feeling overwhelmed by stories of violence, loss, and sorrow stemming from the turmoil in the Middle East. At the center of that turmoil is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, characterized by a history of bloodshed, hatred, and revenge. The ongoing struggle has defied the efforts of the international community as well as parties on both sides to find a means of lasting peace. It has far-reaching implications for American foreign policy, national interests, and, most importantly, the lives of millions of people. In fact, if and how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be resolved is one of the most pressing issues facing the international community today. As part of the answer to that question, the Athenaeum welcomes storyteller Noa Baum's unique insight into the complex of this problem.
For Noa Baum, storytelling is a source of great joy and healing. She was born and raised in Jerusalem, receiving a BFA in Theater Arts from Te-Aviv University. After a time as an actress with the Khan Repertory Theater of Jerusalem, Baum discovered the power of stories and creative drama and went on to receive an M.A. in Educational Theater from NYU, with an emphasis on Drama Therapy. Since 1993 she has trained with Kaya Anderson and the French based Roy Hart Theater, exploring the power and potential of the human voice. Baum has toured Israel and the United States as a performance artist, educator, and workshop leader, delivering a message of healing and change to adult and children artists alike. Her most recent one-woman show for adults, "A Land Twice Promised," received a grant from the National Storytelling Network. The show developed from a heartfelt dialogue that Baum began with a Palestinian woman while living in the United States. Weaving together their memories and their mothers' stories, Baum creates a moving testimony that illuminates the complex and contradictory history of emotions that surround Jerusalem for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
Noa Baum's presentation at the Athenaeum is jointly sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights at CMC and a Claremont community interfaith coalition.
An Evening with the Poet
As Beijing comes to the foreground of international attention as the host of the 2008 Olympics, it is worthwhile to take a moment and reflect on the significance of human rights and freedoms in Chinese society. While many of us take such basic tenets of civil liberties as the freedom of speech for granted, many Chinese artists have paid a high price for maintaining the integrity of their expression. The Athenaeum is pleased to welcome one of the leaders of the group of modern Chinese artists who dared cut against the grain of the established orthodoxy, Bei Dao.
Bei Dao is one of the most gifted writers in modern China, and his poetry, essays, and fiction have animated and inspired the Chinese pro-democracy movement. Born in Beijing in 1949, Bei Dao spent his teenage years participating in the Cultural Revolution as a member of the Red Guards. He later became disillusioned with the violence and restrictions of the Revolution, and in 1978 he co-founded Jintian (Today), the first unofficial literary journal since 1949. Until it was banned in 1980, Jintian was a prominent forum for the "Misty Poets," a group opposed by the Communist literary establishment for their use of "obscure" language and their departure from socialist realism. As the most notable representative of the Misty Poets, Bei Dao's poetry also played an important role as a source of rhetoric and language for the pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen in 1976 and 1989.
Since the late 1980's, Bei Dao has been living in exile, teaching in several European countries as well as the United States. His poetry has been translated in some twenty-five languages around the world, including several volumes of poetry, stories, and essays in English: Unlock (2000), Landscape Over Zero (1996), Forms of Distance (1994), Old Snow (1992), The August Sleepwalker (1990), Waves (1990), Midnight's Gate (2005) and Blue House (2000). His impressive literary production has been accompanied by international acclaim, including the the Tucholsky Prize from Swedish PEN (1990) and an honorary membership of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Bei Dao's writings offer a window into the soul of modern China, depicting intimacy, love, and friendship in a society where trust can literally be a matter of life and death.
Bei Dao's visit to the Athenaeum is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies at CMC.
Selected Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar
In November 1995 the Athenaeum welcomed Ishmael Reed to Claremont McKenna College and it is a privilege to once again host him on our campus. Reed, a prolific novelist, essayist, playwright, and poet, will engage himself with the works of Paul Laurence Dunbar, contributing to the documentary film project on the life of Dunbar and produced by CMC alumnus, Sam Reece '74.
Ishmael Reed is the author of nine novels, six plays, one opera libretto, seven books of poetry, six books of essays, and the editor of numerous anthologies and magazines. Reed has won acclaim for his writing in all literary genres. Leading American composers have set his poetry to music in works that have been performed by such artists as Taj Mahal and Bobbie Womack. Harold Bloom designated his novel Mumbo Jumbo (1972) one of the 500 important books of the Western canon. His most recently published poetry collection, New and Collected Poems, 1964-2006 (Carroll & Graf, 2006), was listed as one of the four best books of poetry published in 2006 by The New York Times Book Review and received the 2007 California Book Award's Gold Medal in Poetry, a year in which the paperback edition was also released. His seventh book of essays, Mixing It Up: Taking On The Media Bullies & Other Reflections (Da Capo Press), will appear Fall, 2007, and a non-fiction study of Muhammad Ali is forthcoming from Random House in 2008. He received the Chancellor's Award for Community Service from the University of California, Berkeley, where he taught creative writing courses in the English Department for thirty-five years, retiring emeritus as of January, 2005. Reed has also taught at Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, and the University of Washington, Seattle, and SUNY Buffalo.
Paul Laurence Dunbar was the first African-American to gain national eminence as a poet. Born in 1872 in Dayton, Ohio, he was the son of ex-slaves. A classmate to Orville Wright of aviation fame, Dunbar was the only African-American in his class at Dayton Central High, where he rose to great heights. He was a member of the debating society, editor of the school paper and president of the school's literary society. Although he lived to be only 33 years old, Dunbar was prolific, writing short stories, novels, librettos, plays, songs and essays as well as the poetry for which he became well known. His style encompasses two distinct voices - the standard English of the classical poet and the evocative dialect of the turn-of-the-century Black community in America. He was gifted in poetry - the way that Mark Twain was in prose - in using dialect to convey character. Oak and Ivy, his first collection, was published in 1892. He ultimately produced 12 books of poetry, four books of short stories, a play and five novels. His work appeared in Harper's Weekly, the Sunday Evening Post, the Denver Post, Current Literature and a number of other magazines and journals. (From the Paul Laurence Dunbar Web site, a project of the Public Relations office of the University of Dayton.
CMC assistant professor of literature, Adam Bradley, will moderate the evening. Professor Bradley is the author of the forthcoming Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip-Hop (2008) and The Collected Manuscripts of Ralph Ellison's Second Novel (2008). This evening's presentation is cosponsored by the Claremont Colleges Intercollegiate Department of Black Studies and CMC alumnus Sam Reece '74.
Today's Headlines with Anderson Cooper
LECTURE 11:00 a.m. MCKENNA AUDITORIUM
Emmy Award-winning journalist Anderson Cooper, host of CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 and a regular contributor to 60 Minutes, will visit McKenna Auditorium at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, November 13. His talk, "Today's Headlines with Anderson Cooper," will include time for discussion with students. In media circles, Cooper is considered to be a leading voice of a new generation of journalists who are injecting a sense of honest passion into their news broadcasts.
"I think the notion of the traditional anchor is fading away, the all-knowing, all-seeing person who speaks from on high," Cooper says. "I don't think the audience really buys that anymore. As a viewer, I know I don't buy it. I think you have to be yourself, and you have to be real, and you have to admit what you don't know, and talk about what you do know."
Since joining CNN, Cooper has anchored many of the decade's major news stories: he traveled to Sri Lanka to cover the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and was in Baghdad for the Iraqi elections. He also anchored much of CNN's live coverage of the funeral of Pope John Paul II in the Vatican City, as well as the Terri Schiavo story in Florida. For "America Votes 2004," he moderated a Democratic presidential candidates forum co-sponsored with Rock the Vote.
Cooper, born in 1967, is the son of writer Wyatt Emory Cooper and heiress and designer Gloria Vanderbilt. His journalism career would be sparked by the sudden death of his father in 1978 during heart bypass surgery. He would later reflect on that experience as a "slap of silence that reset the clock."
A few years later, Cooper would suffer another unexpected loss with the suicide death of his brother Carter. The losses, particularly of his brother, would galvanize his decision to become a journalist - a career path largely around his global coverage of war and natural disasters.
"Loss is a theme that I think a lot about, and it's something in my work that I dwell on," Cooper has said.
After graduating from Manhattan's The Dalton School, Cooper enrolled at Yale University, studying political science and international relations. In 1989, Cooper graduated from Yale and took a job with Channel One as a fact-checker and, within months, as chief international correspondent, reporting on and producing stories from Bosnia, Iran, Israel, Russia, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa and Vietnam.
Several years later in 1995, he went to work for ABC News as a contributor to World News Tonight and 20/20, and as the anchor of ABC's live, interactive, overnight news program, World News Now. He joined with CNN in 2001, anchoring on American Morning with Paula Zahn.
It was Cooper's nearly non-stop reporting on Hurricane Katrina, an experience he recalls in his 2006 bestselling memoir Dispatches from the Edge, that made him a household name. His coverage lead to a much-discussed showdown with Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu that he recounts in Dispatches. At the time, Cooper told the politician that the people of New Orleans were "ashamed" of what was happening in their country.
Numerous awards for his work include an Emmy for his coverage of Princess Diana's funeral. Cooper has also received a Silver Plaque from the Chicago International Film Festival for his report from Sarajevo on the Bosnian civil war; a Bronze Telly for his coverage of famine in Somalia; a Bronze Award from the National Educational Film and Video Festival for a report on political Islam; and a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding TV Journalism for his 20/20 Downtown report on gay high school athlete Corey Johnson. In 2005, Cooper was voted "Media Person of the Year" in an annual online poll.
In May 2006, Cooper became the newest contributor to CBS's news institution, 60 Minutes. That same month, he released Dispatches from the Edge, inspired by his time in New Orleans during the Hurricane.
Cooper's talk in McKenna Auditorium is for CMC persons only and reservations must be made online at the Athenaeum website reservation page. Overflow viewing will be in Pickford Auditorium.
Accountability in the Service of the State: Basis, Expectations and Obligations
In his Athenaeum presentation, General Ron Fogleman explores the basis of the concept of accountability as it should apply to all of society and must apply to members of our armed forces. Accountability for one's actions is at the heart of the military ethos, a concept that seems to be lacking in society at large.
General Fogleman will relate his own experiences in dealing with the issue of accountability during a particularly turbulent time in the civil military relations in the mid-1990s. General Fogleman served as the Commander in Chief of the United States Transportation Command from 1992 to 1994 and as the Chief of Staff of the US Air Force and a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1994 to 1997. In the history of the Joint Chiefs of Staff he is the only service chief ever to request relief from his duties and early retirement on a matter of principle.
General Fogleman received his B.S. degree from the United States Air Force Academy and his M.A. in military history and Latin American studies from Duke University. Throughout a 34 year career he held command at every organizational level from flight to unified command. After retiring from the military he began a career in corporate governance in the private sector while devoting considerable time to community and national service. He is currently the chairman of The Durango Group, an international consulting company.
General Fogleman's visit is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
"Green" Industries in the 21st Century: Organization and Accountability
Gregg Easterbrook's writings cut across a broad swath of American society. He is senior editor of the political journal The New Republic, but this by no means constitutes the limit of his intellectual or journalistic interests and endeavors. He is also a contributing editor of The Atlantic Monthly and The Washington Monthly and a columnist for ESPN.com. His articles have also appeared in Slate, The Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Wired, and BeliefNet.com, to name a few. As if his journalistic endeavors were not enough, Easterbrook is also a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank. In the past, Easterbrook worked as a staff writer and national correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly, a columnist for NFL.com, a contributing editor to Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report, and a distinguished fellow of the Fulbright Foundation.
The subjects of Easterbrook's commentary and criticism have been as diverse as his publications. He has written on the Space Shuttle program, global warming, NFL football, environmentalism, popular culture, and Christian theology, as well as two novels. One of his more recent works, The Progress Paradox: How Life Gets Better While People Feel Worse (2003), attempted to explain social data showing that Americans are better off in terms of free time and material goods but are not happier than before. Easterbrook's lecture at the Athenaeum will address the organization and accountability of "green" industries in an era of climate change.
Gregg Easterbrook's Athenaeum lecture is part of the series Governance in 21st Century Organizations sponsored by the Kravis Leadership Institute at CMC.
Good Capitalism, Bad Capitalism, and the Economics of Growth and Prosperity
A mere century ago, the purchasing power of an average American was one-tenth of what it is today. But what will it take to sustain our phenomenal growth through the next century? And what can be done to stimulate economic growth for developing nations seeking higher standards of living for their citizens? In this informative presentation, Carl Schramm, coauthor of Good Capitalism, Bad Capitalism (2007), will contend that the answers to these questions lie within capitalist economies, though many observers make the mistake of believing that "capitalism" is of a single kind. Schramm will document four varieties of capitalism and explaining how some are good and some bad for a nation's economic stability and growth.
President and CEO of the Kauffman Foundation since 2002, Carl Schramm is one of the world's most recognized experts on fostering and advancing entrepreneurship. Before joining the Foundation, Schramm was a cofounder of HCIA, Inc. and Patient Choice Health Care, and he founded Greenspring Advisors, a consulting and merchant banking firm in the health information and risk management industries. He also served as executive vice president of Fortis (now Assurant) and as president of its health insurance operations.
Schramm's recent books include Good Capitalism, Bad Capitalism (2007), with Robert Litan and William Baumol, and The Entrepreneurial Imperative (2006). His work has appeared in Foreign Affairs, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Newsweek, as well as in leading academic journals. He is a contributing editor of Inc. magazine. Schramm received two consecutive NIH Career Scientist Awards and was a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow at the National Academy of Science, Institute of Medicine. He is a Batten Fellow at the Darden School of the University of Virginia, a Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He received the George Eastman Medal from the University of Rochester in 2005. Carl J. Schramm's lecture is sponsored by the Henry Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World.
The Roberts Court and the Future of Constitutional Law
The role of legal scholars in American governance has become clear throughout the 20th century, where lawyers and academics have become increasingly involved in arguing the most important cases of the day. Lawyers have become a renewed force in the dawn of the 21st century, where their arguments about civil and political rights have taken on new implications in American domestic and foreign policy.
Professor Erwin Chemerinsky is one of the legal world's foremost constitutional lawyers, having argued several cases before the United States Supreme Court, including Scheidler v. NOW and Lockyer v. Andrade. Chemerinsky is the author of over one hundred law review articles and four books, including Interpreting the Constitution (1987) and Constitutional Law (second edition published in 2005). He also publishes a regular column on the Supreme Court for California Lawyer, the Los Angeles Daily Journal, and other magazines.
Professor Chemerinsky completed his undergraduate education at Northwestern University and received his law degree from Harvard Law School. He taught for over two decades at the University of Southern California Law School and Depaul University College of Law, before taking his current appointment position as the Alston & Bird Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at Duke University. However, he has been selected as the inaugural Dean of the Donald Bren School of Law at the University of California, Irvine, scheduled to open in 2009. Although Chemerinsky has been associated with liberal causes in the past, conservatives and liberals alike supported him in his bid for the prestigious deanship. Chemerinsky's appointment thus paves the way for the law school to become the fifth law school in the University of California system, and the first public law school to open in California in 40 years.
I Am Jewish: Personal Reflections Inspired by the Last Words of Daniel Pearl
On January 23, 2002, Daniel Pearl, a journalist for the Wall Street Journal, was kidnapped on his way to an interview by a militant Islamic group. Nine days later, he was beheaded. The militant group, whose actions were well-document through video footage appearing on the Internet, claimed that they were simply killing a Jewish American spy. The international response to such a brutal act of modern anti-Semitism was swift, leading to the arrest of Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and three other conspirators in Pakistan, who acknowledged that they had killed Pearl to "strike a blow at the United States" and "because he was a Jew working against Islam."
For Judea Pearl, a computer scientist and Daniel's father, there was still much work to be done. Judea Pearl and his wife Ruth founded the Daniel Pearl Foundation, an international non-profit organization which seeks to promote cross-cultural understanding through journalism, music, and communications. The Foundation has created programs such as the World Music Days and the PEARL World Youth News, which target youth, and the Daniel Pearl Journalism and Editorial Fellowships, which directly targets foreign journalists to help them understand things from an American perspective. Judea and Ruth Pearl are also the co-editors of I Am Jewish: Personal Reflections Inspired by the Last Words of Daniel Pearl (2004).
In addition to serving as President of the new Daniel Pearl Foundation, Judea Pearl remains a Professor of Computer Science and Statistics at the University of California, Los Angeles and the director of UCLA's Cognitive Systems Laboratory, where he has published significant academic texts, such as Causality: Models, Reasoning, and Inference (2000).
Judea Pearl's lecture at the Athenaeum is jointly sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum.

Changing the World with Water: Following Your Passions to Make a Difference
LUNCH 11:45 a.m. LECTURE 12:30 p.m.
Peter Thum, founder of Ethos Water and vice president at Starbucks, witnessed firsthand the effects of the water crisis on the world's poor while working in South Africa in 2001. He realized that people knew very little of this crisis, so he decided to create a brand of water that would promote awareness of the issue and fund programs for communities that lack clean water in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. His brand, Ethos Water, is sold at over 7,000 Starbucks locations. So far, Ethos has donated over $4.2 million to humanitarian water programs which help more than 370,000 people get safe water, and plans to invest at least $10 million through 2010.
Before founding Ethos, Thum worked as a consultant with McKinsey & Company in London and with Gallo Winery in sales management in Germany and brand marketing at its California headquarters and as an English teacher with Siemens in Germany. He received an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and graduated CMC in 1990 with a B.A. in Government.
