Civil Rights: In the Day, Today, and Tomorrow
Each year, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Athenaeum invites a speaker to address students on the topic of the past, present, and future of civil rights in America. This year's speaker is an iconic leader in the struggle for racial equality, and his example shines through over forty years of leadership and service. From his role as founder and communications director of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1960 to his current position as Chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Julian Bond has lived on the cutting edge of social change.
Bond's involvement with the civil rights movement began with his involvement in SNCC, the famous sit-in and anti-segregation organization that he began while a student at Morehouse College in Atlanta. Since that time, he has tirelessly advanced the cause of civil rights in politics, journalism, and literature. Bond was elected in 1965 to the Georgia House of Representatives and, overcoming the recalcitrance of members who objected to his opposition to the Vietnam War, he took his seat after three re-elections and a Supreme Court decision in his favor. His role as a public voice and advocate for equality and justice ranges from commentator on America's Black Forum, the oldest black-owned television show in syndication; narrator of the Academy Award-winning documentary A Time for Justice; commentator on The Today Show; and author of the nationally syndicated newspaper column "Viewpoint." Bond is the author of A Time to Speak, A Time to Act (1972), and his essays and poetry have been featured in numerous publications.
Since 1998, Bond has served as Chairman of the Board of the NAACP, the oldest and largest civil rights organization in the United States, and his sense of activism is undiminished. In 2002, he received the National Freedom Award. Bond also currently serves as President Emeritus of the Southern Poverty Law Center, and is a Distinguished Professor at American University in Washington, DC and a Distinguished Adjunct Professor of History at the University of Virginia. His passion for and knowledge of the American civil rights movement is unparalleled, and we are excited and deeply honored to have him with us.
Meeting the U.S. Energy Challenges
As U.S. energy challenges mount, the public and political debate continues to demonstrate disturbing misunderstandings of both the problems and potential solutions. The U.S. faces three distinct energy challenges: maintaining low energy costs in order to benefit the economy, controlling greenhouse gases and other environmental damage from energy use, and reducing the geopolitical consequences of dependence on crude oil. Though some policies help to address all three challenges, often tackling one of these problems exacerbates the others. Severin Borenstein will discuss the logic and fallacies behind government energy policies, from taxes (implicit or explicit) on greenhouse gas emissions, to tax incentives for domestic oil exploration, to support for energy efficiency improvements or basic energy science research. The energy challenges that the U.S. faces are serious, but by adhering to a few basic economic principles, the cost of meeting these challenges can be kept manageable.
Severin Borenstein is E.T. Grether Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Haas School of Business and Director of the University of California Energy Institute. He is also an affiliated professor in the Agricultural and Resource Economics department and the Energy and Resources Group at U.C. Berkeley. He received his A.B. from U.C. Berkeley in 1978 and Ph.D. from M.I.T. in 1983. His research focuses on business competion, strategy, and regulation. He has published extensively on the airline, oil and gasoline, and electricity markets, as well as on insurance, e-commerce, mining, natural gas and other industries. Borenstein was a member of the Governing Board of the California Power Exchange from 1997 until 2003 and served on the California Attorney General's gasoline price taskforce in 1999-2000. During 1999-2002, he was co-director of NBER's research project on e-commerce. Most recently, his research hasfocused on the evolving airline industry, real-time retail electricity pricing, and the economics of renewable energy and climate change.

Joel Kotkin's visit to CMC is jointly sponsored by the Rose Institute of State and Local Government and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum.
Global Warming: Is It Our Responsibility?
How do we address the issue of global warming? Is the environment a public or private good? Do we have a moral obligation to protect the planet? Is nuclear power a viable alternative to coal power? Who should enforce environmental policy?
Such questions will receive direct attention from CMC faculty members in a panel discussion on global warming. Each will come from a different discipline — economics, philosophy, science, and government — but the professors will share a common goal: fostering discussion among students on what is, in fact, one of their most pressing concerns.
Professor of economics S. Brock Blomberg will present a formal political economy perspective on global warming. With specialties in macroeconomics and international economics, Blomberg will explore the climate change in a broad scope and consider the economic costs of a solution.
Professor of philosophy Alex Rajczi will discuss the ethical issues involved with the environment. Racjzi, having published several papers on philosophy and public affairs, will present a rational approach to the problem of climate change.
Professor of chemistry Kathleen Purvis-Roberts will talk about the scientific indications of global warming. As air quality, nuclear radiation, and public health have been concentrations within her research, Purvis-Roberts will use environmental science to argue for a solution.
Professor of government William Christian will discuss the political aspect of global warming. As an environmental lawyer who has worked for the Environmental Protection Agency and the oil industry, Christian will bring his experience with public policy to the discussion.
The panel discussion at CMC is part of Focus the Nation, the nationwide educational initiative for focused discussion on the topic of global warming. On January 30-31, 2008, over 1,000 colleges and universities will participate in a Focus the Nation symposium, ranging from teach-ins to meetings with members of Congress. Eban Goodstein, founder of Focus the Nation, will speak at the Athenaeum on Tuesday, April 22, Earth Day 2008.
The event is sponsored by the Environmental Crusaders, a CMC student organization. The Environmental Crusaders organized the Campus Climate Challenge at CMC during the fall semester, a competition between the Claremont Colleges to reduce student energy usage. The Environmental Crusaders hope to continue and strengthen environmental activism at CMC.
Human Rights in Russia
The violation of human rights is one of the growing problems in the Russian Federation since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. For several years, human rights have become more restricted in the name of Russian security. With terrorist events, like the hostage crisis at the Moscow theatre in 2002 and the Beslan school shooting in 2004, the government has greatly curtailed fundamental human rights and freedoms. The Russian government uses the rise of extremist political organizations as an excuse for shutting down organizations and taking control over mass media in the name of keeping the peace. At the same time the government uses anti-extremist legislation to pressure human rights activists and the political opposition as well. In Russia today, the freedom of speech and the freedom of conscience are under attack. Dr. Dubrovsky will touch upon several abuses against human rights activists to demonstrate the manipulation of "anti-extremist legislation." He will also discuss the implications of emerging racist tendencies in Russia, especially towards "non-Slavonic people" (such as citizens from the Caucasus), and the government's passivity in dealing with or quelling anti-Muslim sentiment throughout the country.
Dmitry Dubrovsky is an associate professor of International Relations, Political Science, and Human Rights at Smolny College in St. Petersburg. He is also the Executive Director of the Ethnic Studies Program at European University and the Chair of the Department of Modern Ethnography at the Russian Museum of Ethnography, both in St. Petersburg. For the last six months, Dubrovsky has been the Galina Starovoitova Fellow on Human Rights and Conflict Resolution at the Kennan Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Dubrovsky's lecture is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
The Birds and the Bees and the GNP
Of the many forms of global change that have generated controversy of late on talk shows and op-ed pages, one that has rarely produced heated discussion or generated sensational headlines is the "pollinator crisis" - the widespread decline in the number and viability of animal species that transport pollen and thereby facilitate reproduction in the vast majority of the planet's flowering plants. Although it lacks marquee appeal, pollinator decline is one form of global change that has real potential for profoundly altering the shape and structure of the terrestrial world. Over 3/4 of all flowering plants, including more than 100 crop plants in the U.S., rely on animal pollinators to survive and reproduce. Over the past decade, evidence pointing to a pollinator crisis has accumulated and the public has begun to take notice. The National Research Council tackled this issue at the request of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Geological Survey and commissioned a committee to assess the status of pollinators in North America. The conclusions reached by the committee and presented in their report provide compelling evidence that America's birds, bats, bees, and butterflies can no longer be taken for granted and that pollination is not a free and limitless ecosystem service.
May Berenbaum graduated summa cum laude, with a B.S. degree and honors in biology, from Yale University in 1975; she attended graduate school at Cornell University and received a Ph.D. in ecology and evolutionary biology in 1980. Since 1980, she has been a member of the faculty of the department of entomology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and has served as head of the department since 1992. In addition to her research, she is devoted to teaching and to fostering scientific literacy; she is the recipient of the 1996 Entomological Society of America North Central Branch Distinguished Teaching Award and has authored numerous magazine articles, as well as three books about insects for the general public. She has also gained some measure of fame as the organizer of the Insect Fear Film Festival at the University of Illinois, an annual celebration of Hollywood's entomological excesses.
Berenbaum's lecture at the Athenaeum is sponsored by the David E. French Lectureship Fund.
For God and Country
As the War on Terror continues and the controversy over the U.S. detention center at Guantánamo Bay mounts, it has become increasingly difficult to ascertain the truth about American treatment of its detained enemy combatants. The Athenaeum is thus proud to welcome Chaplain James Yee, a former U.S. Army Captain who served as the Muslim Chaplain at Guantánamo Bay and has since become a vocal critic of the U.S. government's policy there. At Guantánamo, he ministered to the prisoners at the camp, and was twice awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for his outstanding performance. Nevertheless, Yee has since come out alleging serious mistreatment of the prisoners and arguing that most of the detainees have little or no intelligence value.
Despite Chaplain Yee's exemplary service, he was later arrested in September 2003 and charged with sedition, aiding the enemy, spying, espionage, and failure to obey a general order. After an intensive government investigation, during which Chaplain Yee was held in solitary confinement in a Naval brig for 76 days, the charges against him were dropped, with Major General Geoffrey Miller claiming that "national security concerns" prevented the release of the evidence against him. He then resigned from the Army and received an Honorable Discharge as well as a special commendation for "exceptionally meritorious service."
Yee, a Chinese American who graduated from West Point in 1990 before converting to Islam, has appeared on national and international news programs, ranging from The O'Reilly Factor to Al-Jazeera's From Washington, and is the author of For God and Country: Faith and Patriotism Under Fire (2005), an account of his experiences at Guantánamo Bay and his struggle to clear his name and earn an apology from the U.S. Military. Yee also holds a master's degree in International Relations and a Certificate of Islamic Studies, earned during his years in the Army for intensive study of the Arabic language and Islamic society and culture.
Chaplain James Yee's lecture is cosponsored by the CMC Dean of Students, the Muslim Student Association, and the Athenaeum.
Is the 'Age of Reagan' Over?
LUNCH 11:30 a.m. LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
The time has come to look back on the Reagan experience and survey its successes, failures, and unresolved arguments — to discover the lasting meaning of Reagan-style conservatism. For all of his victories (and defeats), the transformation of America under Reagan was inconclusive, incomplete. Arguments over the Reagan "revolution" persist, partly because they are proxies for the political arguments of today.
Steven Hayward is the author, most recently, of Greatness: Reagan, Churchill, and the Making of Extraordinary Leaders (2005). His The Age of Reagan: The Fall of the Old Liberal Order, 1964-1980 (2001), is the first of a projected two-volume life and times of the former president. Reviewers hailed the first volume as the best, most incisive of the existing commentaries of the Regan years.
He has written extensively on presidents and statesmanship, including Churchill on Leadership: Executive Success in the Face of Adversity (1997). His work has appeared in National Review, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Weekly Standard, and the Claremont Review of Books.
Hayward is a senior fellow of the Pacific Research Institute, and the F. K.Weyerhaeuser of the American Enterprise Institute.
Hayward's lecture is sponsored by the Henry Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World.
Shi'ism and Constitutionalism in Iran
Over the course of the past century, the question of constitutional rights has been widely discussed in political and legal debates in Iran, representing a unique trend in the Muslim world. This talk will examine a number of fundamental debates over the concept of rights in early twentieth-century Iran as reflected in the Constitution of 1906, which later resulted in the evolution of civil law. Iranian legal reforms in the twentieth century would not have been possible without such a constitutional framework. The Iranian Constitutional Laws of 1906-07 drew on modern Western traditions as well as Islamic and customary law. From a political point of view the Constitution called for the transformation of an absolutist state into a constitutional government, and thus a transformation of subjects into citizens with recognized rights and responsibilities. However, in the realm of legal theory there was a more explicit tension on whether it would be possible to synthesize different legal paradigms. By drawing on a wide range of primary source material this talk will examine the intellectual dimension of Iran's constitutional movement with the concept of rights at its core, and the interplay between Shi'ism and constitutionalism. Profesor Gheissari's talk is presented in conjunction with Arash Khazeni's course "The Middle East: From the Ottomans to the Present."
Ali Gheissari is professor of history at the University of San Diego. He studied at the Faculty of Law and Political Science, Tehran University, and at St. Antony's College, Oxford, and has held visiting appointments at Tehran University, Oxford University, UCLA and Brown University. He has written extensively in both English and Persian on the intellectual and political history of modern Iran. Selected publications of his work include: Iranian Intellectuals in the Twentieth Century (University of Texas Press, 1998 and 2007); Democracy in Iran (co-author, Oxford University Press, 2006); Persian translation of Immanuel Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Ethics (with Hamid Enayat, 1991); "Truth and Method in Modern Iranian Historiography and Social Sciences" (Critique, 1995); "Despots of the World Unite! Satire in the Iranian Constitutional Press" (Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East, 2005); "Merchants without Borders: Trade, Travel, and a Revolution in late Qajar Iran" (in R. Farmanfarmaian, ed., War and Peace in Qajar Persia: Implications Past and Present, Routledge, 2008). He is also on the Editorial Board of Iran Studies series, published by E. J. Brill. His current research is on the evolution of the civil law and the shaping of Iran's Judiciary in historical perspective.
Japan's Foreign Policy: Between the Pacific Ocean and the Asian Continent
LUNCH 11:30 a.m., LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Ambassador Kazuhiko Togo from Japan will address the two major strategic issues for Japan's foreign policy: how to maintain and strengthen its ties with the United States across the Pacific Ocean, and how to manage and overcome relations with the Asian Continent, notably those with China and Korea. The lecture will begin with a succinct historical perspective on what happened in 1945 and its lasting impacts. Ambassador Togo will then analyze how and why the alliance with the United States was strengthened steadily in the last six decades. He will conclude with an analysis of Japan's Asian policy, how and why it went through such a difficulty, but now faces a real crossroads.
Ambassador Togo is a visiting professor at Temple University, Tokyo. After graduating from Tokyo University in Japan, he joined Japan's Foreign Ministry in 1968, worked extensively on Soviet/Russian affairs, as well as on Europe, America, international law and economics. He served as Ambassador of Japan to the Netherlands before retiring in 2002. In 1995 he began teaching at universities in Moscow and Tokyo, and after retirement taught at Leiden, Princeton, Tansui (Taiwan), Santa Barbara and Seoul. His recent publications include Japan's Foreign Policy 1945-2003: The Quest For A Proactive Policy (2005) and The Inside Story of the Negotiations on the Northern Territory: Five Lost Windows of Opportunity (2007) (in Japanese). His edited works include Russian Strategic Thought toward Asia (2006) and Japanese Strategic Thought toward Asia (2007).
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is pleased to host Ambassador Togo's visit to CMC as a Freeman Foundation Visiting Professor in Asian Affairs.
A Long Way Gone: A Story of Hope and Redemption
Ishmael Beah was born in Sierra Leone on November 23, 1980. When he was 11, Ishmael's life, along with the lives of millions of other Sierra Leoneans, was derailed by the outbreak of a brutal civil war. After his parents and two brothers were killed, Ishmael was recruited to fight as a child soldier. He was 13. He fought for more than two years before he was removed from the army by UNICEF and placed in a rehabilitation home in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone. After completing rehabilitation in late 1996, Ishmael won a competition to attend a conference at the United Nations to talk about the devastating effects of war on children in his country. It was there that he met his new mother, Laura Simms, a professional storyteller who lives in New York. Ishmael returned to Sierra Leone and continued speaking about his experiences to help bring international attention to the issue of child soldiering and war affected children.
In 1998 Ishmael came to live with his American family in New York City. He completed high school at the United Nations International School, and subsequently went on to Oberlin College in Ohio. Throughout his high school and undergraduate education, Ishmael continued his advocacy work to bring attention to the plight of child soldiers and children affected by war around the world, speaking on numerous occasions on behalf of UNICEF, Human Rights Watch, United Nations Secretary General's Office for Children and Armed Conflict, at the United Nations General Assembly. He is a member of the Human Rights Watch Children's Rights Division Committee and his visit to CMC is cosponsored by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights and the Athenaeum.
In A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier (2007), Beah, now 26 years old, tells a riveting story. At the age of 12, he fled attacking rebels and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By 13, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts. Eventually released by the army and sent to a UNICEF rehabilitation center, he struggled to regain his humanity and to reenter the world of civilians, who viewed him with fear and suspicion. This is, at last, a story of redemption and hope.
The Future of Securities Fraud Litigation
Accountability, Competition and Collusion: The Dilemma of the Securities Class Action
LUNCH 12:00 p.m., LECTURE 12:30 p.m., PANEL 1:30 p.m.
John C. Coffee, the Adolf A. Berle Professor of Law at Columbia Law School, will be the keynote speaker for the upcoming conference on The Future of Securities Fraud Litigation. This conference, sponsored by the Financial Economics Institute and RAND Corporation, will bring together leading scholars in finance and law, practitioners, and policymakers to discuss the future of securities fraud litigation. In Professor Coffee's presentation, he will be discussing how to introduce competition into the world of securities class actions, and the costs of doing so.
John Coffee began his career as a corporate lawyer with Cravath, Swaine & Moore and spent four years as a professor at Georgetown University Law Center before joining the Columbia Law School faculty in 1980. He has served as a visiting professor at Harvard Law School (2001), Stanford University Law School (1988), the University of Virginia Law School (1978), and the University of Michigan Law School (1979).
Professor Coffee is currently a reporter for the American Bar Association for its Model Standards on Sentencing Alternatives and Procedures and for the American Law Institute's Principles of Corporate Governance. During his career he has served on the Economic Advisory Board to NASDAQ, the Legal Advisory Board to the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), and the Legal Advisory Committee to the Board of Directors of the New York Stock Exchange.
Professor Coffee received a B.A. from Amherst, an LL.B. from Yale, and an LL.M. (in taxation) from New York University. His principal interests are corporations, securities regulation, class actions, criminal law, and white-collar crime. He has also been recognized by the National Law Journal as one of "The 100 Most Influential Lawyers in the United States."
Following Professor Coffee's address, the conference will continue at the Athenaeum at 1:30 p.m. with a practitioner panel discussing, "Current Issues in Securities Fraud Litigation." The panel will discuss, from various perspectives, cutting edge issues related to the future of securities fraud litigation.

The two major candidates have a lot of differences about how they'd handle the economy. Even more importantly, whichever side you come down on for issues such as "money == speech", "corporations are people", or Roe v.

Deregulation was a great idea when it came to the banking and mortgage industry.... Oh, wait, sorry, bad example....
You misleading little prick. He suspended taxes so that the ships could unload gasoline before having to pay taxes. This is so the disaster caused shortage could be reduced, not because the economy works better without regulation. After all, NYC is one of the most highly regulated economies in the world and it is also one of the largest and most productive with its highly regulated metropolitan area producing 8.5% of the US GDP with only 7% of the population.

Yes but which side supports balancing the budget during their term?
Neither. Both will say they want to. Both, to varying degrees, will try. Obama will talk about the revenue side and Romney will talk about the spending side, but all economists know that neither end really has any impact on GDP other than short-term hocus-pocus.
Which side supports auditing the Fed?
Neither, but how is this even an issue? This is only important to crypto-libertarian conspiracy theorists who don't understand how our government works but are eager for a fiscal witch-hunt. Who supports auditing the Department of Education? Who supports auditing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms? There is oversight in all of these departments, and yes, even the Fed.
Which side supports repealing the NDAA?
Which side supports repealing the PATRIOT Act?
Which side will bring troops home?
Kind of a no-brainer, but Obama, of course. Already has and will continue to do so.
Which side won't start a war with Iran?
Neither will "start" a war with Iran, but Romney's former school buddy certainly would if Romney gets in.
Which side will cut unnecessary spending from the government?
Neither, but to some degrees, both will try. But again, see my answer to above. It's a non-issue that's all about public perception.
Which side will stop the war on drugs?
Neither, sadly.
Which side will support gay marriage?
Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you will know that Obama is our first gay president and Romney bullied gay people in college and feels no remorse for it.

Yes but which side supports balancing the budget during their term?
Obama wants to raise the top tax rate and cut some spending, and has outlined his specific plan which independent economists say would reduce the budget deficit.
Romney announced that he wants to cut taxes even more for the wealthy, and claims he'll close that loophole with deductions and spending cuts, but refuses to offer specifics.
Which side supports auditing the Fed? Which side supports repealing the NDAA? Which side supports repealing the PATRIOT Act?
Fair criticism. However, Romney has said things like "We should double Guantanamo."
Which side will bring troops home?
Obama has brought troops home.
From Politifact: 'Romney's current campaign website is vague on plans for Iraq. He buries the issue in a topics page about the Middle East, praising George W. Bush's 2007 "surge" of troops and bashing Obama's 2011 withdrawal deadline. He makes a reference to reports from field commanders who "recommended a 14,000 to 18,000-strong residual force as the minimum necessary to carry out our transition mission."'

US Warns Israel off pre-emptive strike in Iran [guardian.co.uk]
US military commanders have warned their Israeli counterparts that any action against Iran would severely limit the ability of American forces in the region to mount their own operations against the Iranian nuclear programme by cutting off vital logistical support from Gulf Arab allies.
Romney: "Well, it's worth putting in place crippling sanctions. It's worth working with the insurgents in the country to encourage regime change in the country. And if all else fails, if after all of the work we've done, there's nothing else we could do besides mil -- take military action, then of course you take military action. It is unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon."

Obama signs bill reducing cocaine sentencing gap [cnn.com]
President Obama signed a bill Tuesday reducing the disparity in penalties for the use of crack and powder cocaine, according to the White House.
The enactment of the law seals a hard-fought victory for civil rights activists who have argued for years that the differing punishments unfairly target African-Americans.
Romney: "The entryway into our drug culture for our young people is marijuana. Marijuana is the starter drug. And the idea of medical marijuana is designed to help get marijuana out into the public marketplace and ultimately lead to the legalization of marijuana overall. And in my view, that's the wrong way to go."
The guy is religiously bound to avoid caffeine, for Christ's sake.
Which side will support gay marriage?
Obama has instructed the Justice Department to stop defending DOMA and supports a legislative appeal of DOMA by the Respect for Marriage Act.
From CSM: "Mr. Romney signed a National Organization for Marriage pledge a year ago in favor of a federal constitutional amendment to define marriage solely as between one man and one woman. Further, the former Massachusetts governor does not support civil unions."

by Anonymous Coward on Saturday November 03, 2012 @04:37PM (#41867255)Glass Steagall didn't apply to AIG, Lehman Bros, Bear Steans, Countrywide, Fannie, or JP Mogan. None of those were commercial banks, thus Glass Steagall didn't apply. I don't know anyone who thinks Glass Steagall was the sole reason for the financial crisis. However, the overturning of it was part and parcel of an ideology that was a major factor in the crash: The erroneous belief system that banks can self-regulate without eventually creating an overwhelming systemic risk. This belief was manifested in a variety of bad ideas, poor oversight, exemptions and worse legislation. Eliminating Glass Steagall was part of a trend that threw open the doors to "too big to fail" - Smith Barney plus Traveler's Insurance plus Citibank became Citigroup. Not just too big to fail, but too big to manage, too, by all accounts.
What a maroon. AIG, FNM and FRM, Countrywide are NOT banks and are outside of Glass-Steagall law. The problem was in banks like Citigroup (funny you've forgotten about it), BoA and JPM investing in risky instruments with the help of the companies listed above.
Oh, and Lehman was not Steagall-compatible either.

(This will contain factual statements about Mormon history that is not intended to needlessly disparage their religion. There could be an entire other discussion about continuing in a faith that finds the truth to be offensive, but my purpose here is to reveal the truth for its own sake.)
I will concede immediately that the Mormon stance on caffeine is not what I thought it was. It's even more ridiculous than I imagined, though it does allow for Mitt to drink Diet Coke, so you are narrowly correct in your implication for a citation.
From WikiPedia:
The "Word of Wisdom" is the common name of a section of the Doctrine and Covenants... It is also the name of a health code based on this scripture, practiced most strictly by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and Mormon fundamentalists, and to a lesser extent, some other Latter Day Saint denominations. In the LDS Church, compliance with the Word of Wisdom is currently a prerequisite for baptism, service in full-time missionary work, attendance at church schools, and entry into the church's temples...
The text discourages "hot drinks", the non-medicinal use of tobacco, the consumption of wine (excluding sacramental wine) or "strong drinks", and encourages using meat sparingly. The scripture also recommends the consumption of herbs, fruits, and grains, as well as grain-based "mild drinks". As practiced by the LDS Church, there is no firm restriction relating to meat consumption, but there are additional restrictions against narcotics, and all alcoholic beverages are forbidden, including beer. The LDS Church interprets "hot drinks" to mean coffee and tea.
They have recently softened their stance on caffeine to appear more rational and relevant, much as they did in 1978 when God suddenly revealed to the Mormon community that black people were okay [wikipedia.org]. The official LDS stance on caffeine is this:
The only official interpretation of "hot drinks" (D&C 89:9) in the Word of Wisdom is the statement made by early Church leaders that the term "hot drinks" means tea and coffee. Members should not use any substance that contains illegal drugs. Nor should members use harmful or habit-forming substances except under the care of a competent physician.
What this means is that drinking hot peppermint tea is forbidden, despite containing zero caffeine, while drinking Jolt Cola or Bawls is okay because it is cold. If you think an adherent of those ridiculous rules is capable of forming an effective drug policy for people who live in the 21st Century, vote Romney, and hope he doesn't drag other horrible ideas from 1850 into your life.

Perfecting your pet wash
Payment options, location and additional products all improve customer spending at this profit center.
Today, it seems that no family is complete without the addition of a dog or cat. In some households, Fido actually comes first. While the oldest child is off at college living on Ramen noodles and student loans, the family pet eats the finest foods and sleeps in a comfy bed next to the fireplace.
Further, the culture-wide pet fascination shows no signs of fading. All-animal cable channels unleash a nightly flood of cuddly kittens and playful puppies. Even the pets of celebrities are flying into the fame game with Twitter accounts and name-brand fashion lines.
What is especially telling in the business world is how the pet-care market boomed as the economy fizzled. As well-known retail chains and movie rental locations withered and faded, pet care spending grew and became a surprisingly powerful market. Pet products that used to take up small sections in other stores grew into thriving, independent super-store locations.
In the carwash market, pet washes sprang up as a way for interested operators to enter the lucrative pet care field, and modern versions of these washes are offering owners more choices than ever before. Today carwashes can either install a washing station inside a carwash or add on a separate, complete and enclosed pet wash. Also, wash owners can really let their business "go to the dogs" with pet-friendly vending options and pet wash/carwash packages.
Procuring a pet wash
Pet wash equipment will cost a carwash owner approximately $7,000 to $8,000, according to Mike Hansen, sales manager, wash division with Dultmeier Sales. Installation will be another expense because the washing stations require hot and cold water lines, drains, lighting and heat and air conditioning.
Currently, there are standalone pet wash models as well as complete, enclosed stations. Depending on the area of the country and the common weather conditions, the standalone unit may be beneficial, Russell Caldwell, president of CCSI International Inc., stated. If a wash is in a geographic location that requires heat, for instance, the larger, enclosed model pet wash would be the better choice.
Luckily, there are some municipalities where installing a pet wash does not require any additional permits. Caldwell noted that pet washes can sometimes be added as another coin-driven operation at carwashes, similar to vacuum stations. So, if a municipality does not require a separate permit to add additional vending stations that use water, electric, etc., a permit may not be required. To make sure, owners should check with their city or local governments.
Caldwell said that when it comes to the success of a pet wash, location is very important. First, location matters because of installation costs. By placing a pet wash close to existing utilities, an operator can significantly reduce the initial cost of hook-up. Especially since the wash requires freshwater, an electrical connection and a location to pump the grey water — the pet wash units sold by Caldwell's company do not require a gravity drain.
Visibility is another factor to consider. While the pet wash needs to be easily accessible and safe for animals, it is also important that the pet wash is easy to see. In fact, Caldwell suggested placing the pet wash in a prominent spot where it would be readily visible to customers and to passing drivers.
Wash traffic is definitely an important consideration when choosing the perfect spot. Hansen said the best location is one that would offer quick access and convenient parking for pet owners yet remain completely outside of a carwash's traffic flow. Thus, the pet wash parking and foot traffic will not interfere with a carwash's business and vice versa.
While some self serve owners may be tempted to install the pet wash in an existing self-serve bay, Caldwell does not recommend it. "I don't typically suggest that operators transform an existing self-service bay into a pet wash," he said. "Although a good thought, after the expense to make it user friendly — heat, air, equipment, etc. — it is far more economical to simply add a modular pet wash station to the carwash location. The pet wash then becomes added revenue, as opposed to replacement revenue."
Making money
Once the pet wash is bought and installed, an owner must decide what type of payment options to accept. Hansen explained that coins, tokens and bills can be used with most existing systems today. Even so, credit card payment has become another popular option. "The great thing about pet washes is that, even if it rains, the wash operator can still bring in revenue," he said.
In addition to pet wash sales, these units can boost vending machine bottom lines as well. Hansen noted that there a number of popular "doggie" vending items available in the market. These products include:
- Bones or chewies;
- Ear cleaning towels;
- Dog biscuits; and
- Disposable gloves.
As with any business addition, the public will first need to be aware that a pet wash was added. Next, an owner might need to explain what a pet wash is, according to Caldwell. Since some potential customers may not know about pet washing stations, marketing materials can include terms like "self-serve pet wash." Advertising can also tout the benefits of using the wash with promotional copy: "Keep the hair out of the tub! Wash your pet here!"
Caldwell recommended local advertisements, perhaps in newspapers. Also, hosting fundraisers at the new pet wash can be great, non-threatening events to introduce the wash addition to the community.
Other marketing options include online advertisements, Facebook posts, coupon mailings and grand opening events. Passing out coupons and marketing materials at pet stores and during summer-time pet festivals are other options when it comes to marketing a newly installed pet wash. Offering a free pet wash with a carwash can also drive business for both profit centers while attracting customers that may not have used a carwash otherwise.
It is very important for owners to keep the pet wash clean, but the labor required can be minimal, Caldwell noted. The pet washes have been designed for ease of maintenance, and proper upkeep can take as little as five to 15 minutes a day.
"It simply needs to be attended to daily to ensure that it is acceptable for customer use," Caldwell continued. "This may mean washing down the wash bay, cleaning out the vacuum and trough for excess hair, etc."
Hansen recommended cleaning the pet wash more frequently. "Clean at least twice a day, but it needs to be checked during the day in case a customer left the bay in a mess," he said.

TomTom Refreshes Corporate Identity to Reflect Its Expanding Position and Portfolio
Feb 05 2007
- TomTom Refreshes Corporate Identity to Reflect Its Expanding Position and Portfolio -
5 February 2007, Amsterdam: TomTom, the world's largest navigation solution provider, today unveils its new corporate identity with a new logo.
The new identity retains all of TomTom's unique brand values for consumers. At the same time it better reflects the full portfolio of navigation, tracking & tracing and traffic solutions that TomTom offers consumers, businesses and governments.
The logo is an evolution of the current logo and consists of the word 'TomTom' spelled in black, capitalised letters and features TomTom's famous red hands embracing a transparent ball.
"TomTom has become a well-established global company and the leading brand in portable navigation solutions in just a few years, says Alexander Ribbink, TomTom's Chief Operating Officer. "The new logo reflects these changes and symbolises TomTom's care for its customers, its hands-on mentality and its passion for the best, high quality navigation products and services. It also supports our continued expansion into new markets like fleet management and traffic solutions, whilst strengthening our position as the most preferred navigation brand by consumers."
Starting in March, the new logo will gradually be introduced in all materials.

Students Participating In a Residential Program
Follow Student Financial Services on Facebook for important information!
1) What is the school code to use on the FAFSA? The school code for all ATSU campuses and
programs is: G02477. A general video created by Federal Student Aid can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-23SMf5DyQ.
2) Do I have to fill out the FAFSA every school year? Yes! The FAFSA must be completed every academic year if you wish to receive a financial aid award letter and be offered any type of federal financial aid or work study. To complete your FAFSA, visit www.fafsa.gov.
3) How long does it take for you to receive my FAFSA? It can sometimes take 3 - 5 business days before we have access to your FAFSA information.
4) I haven't filed my taxes yet. Should I still complete my FAFSA? That's really up to you, but we cannot offer federal financial aid until your tax return has been filed and your FAFSA updated accordingly. So, you might want to complete as much as possible on the FAFSA, save it, and when you file your tax return, you can answer the remaining questions and submit your FAFSA.
5) After I filled out my FAFSA, I received a SAR. What is the SAR? SAR stands for Student Aid Report. Each student needs to review the information carefully to make sure it is correct and complete. If there is an issue with the SAR, please correct the information. If no revisions are needed, keep it for your records.
6) I am not a US Citizen. Am I eligible for federal financial aid? You must be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen (possessing Permanent Resident card I-551, an I-551C or an I-94 with eligible designations). You are NOT eligible if you have an F1 or F2 student visa, J1 or J2 exchange visitor visa, or G series visa.
7) Are there fees associated with borrowing? Yes. The table below contains the most recent origination fees on the federal loans:
Loan Date
Origination Fee - STAFFORD
Origination Fee - Grad PLUS
|On or after Oct 1, 2014
On or after Dec. 1, 2013
On or after July 1, 2013
Origination fees will continue to fluctuate until 2021 due to Sequestration. Current interest rates effective July 1, 2014 - Stafford Loan (unsubsidized) rate will be 6.21% and the Grad PLUS interest rate will be 7.21%. The interest on both of these loans will begin to accrue when the funds are made available to the student.
8) When will I receive my award letter? The award letter will be sent to you approximately 4 weeks before your first day of class, providing we have received your FAFSA in a timely manner. The award letter will be sent to your ATSU email account, so please monitor your emails!
9) When will I receive the proceeds of the financial aid? Funds from your loans will be electronically deposited to your account the first day of the fall term and the first day of the spring term. The tuition and fees are paid from these funds and the remainder is sent to you as a stipend for your living expenses, books, etc. This stipend is sent electronically to the bank account that you set up as part of the award letter process.
10) What if I overestimate and have borrowed too much money on my student loans? You may write a check to ATSU for the amount you would like returned to your lender. We will return the funds on your behalf and we will request that the fees and interest charges be waived; however, we cannot guarantee that they will be. Returns need to be made within 60 days of the disbursement date.
11) What if I underestimated and have not borrowed enough money on my student loans to cover my living expenses? Send an e-mail to email@example.com with your request and we will start the process to get more of your available funds to you.
12) What if I have an emergency financial situation, but I have borrowed the maximum amount offered to me this year? Stop by our office or send an e-mail to email@example.com.
13) What if I need a short-term loan just to get by until the next disbursement? You can request a short- term loan for up to $2,000. Your request will be reviewed by the Director of Student Financial Services. If the request is approved, your loan, plus interest, will then be paid in full by deducting the amount from the next regularly scheduled loan disbursement.
14) What is the Master Promissory Note (MPN)? The MPN is a legally binding contract the student must sign. It is an agreement to repay the Stafford and/or Grad PLUS loan money borrowed. The MPN also describes your rights and responsibilities as a student loan borrower.
15) Can I do work-study if I have not taken Federal loans? The requirement for work-study is that you are eligible based on your completion of the FAFSA for the current award year and are not selected for verification. If selected for verification, you must complete the verification process before work-study is allocated. You do not have to take federal loans in order to qualify for work-study.

A total of ten children were studied longitudinally over the course of four years. The children's ages at their first recordings ranged from 1:7 to 4:6, and each child was recorded at intervals of 7-10 days over a period of 2-4 years. In addition, data relating to each age group was used for latitudinal studies.
By the end of 2007, we plan to have the entire CHILDES database checked for quality control our research supervisors.

futerko wrote:I think you've laid it out very clearly here. The issue in these terms is that A-consciousness can start to act as a replacement for P-consciousness, so for example in the formation of a phobia or a prejudice, the first experience of something gets represented as a concept, and then subsequent experiences become coloured by that concept rather than remaining open to any new encounters.
I'm familiar with this from David Bohm, who talks about thought misrepresenting itself as perception. I see this at work in my mind all the time. And I see how clear awareness of the actuality of the moment mitigates this. But it doesn't explain the function of pure awareness, awareness of qualia without any "skillful thought" accompanying it.

The Springbok Sevens side suffered another Cup quarterfinal exit against Fiji for the third consecutive time this season.
The Blitzboks had another strong start to a tournament with convincing wins against Niue and World Cup champions Wales.
However, this was followed by a defeat against New Zealand, which set up a tough Cup quarterfinal fixture against their bogey team Fiji.
This was the third time the teams met in the quarterfinal stage this season, and it proved to be the third time the Boks would produce a poor showing against the Pacific Islanders.
The Boks were beaten 21-5 by a more physical, stronger Fijian outfit after a lackluster display in the second half.
The World Series defending champions were still within reach at half-time with a 7-0 deficit, but Fiji ran through for another two converted tries to eliminate the Boks to the Plate section. Branco du Preez scored a consolation try for South Africa.
In the Plate semi-final, the Blitzboks put in a better performance with a 29-5 win against Canada.
Franki Horne grabbed a brace while Mpho Mbiyozo, Kyle Brown and Ryno Benjamin also crossed the chalk to surge into the Plate final against Australia.
The Boks then somehow blew a 17-0 lead to end a disappointing sixth after losing 26-22 to the Aussies.
The Boks raced into an early buffer through tries from Chase Minnaar, Mzwandile Stick, and Ryno Benjamin, but Australia pulled one back through James Stannard on the half-time hooter.
When Bernard Foley scored straight after the break, the Boks led by just three. The Boks' poor defence, for the umpteenth time this season, allowed the Australians back into it, and is the main reason why they've had such a poor start to the series.
Kimani Situati claimed the third, again an embarrassing effort in the tackle from the Boks. Stick claimed one back to to give the Boks a brief lead, but Clinton Sills earned the winner, thanks again to woeful defence.
In other results, Samoa shocked World Series log leaders New Zealand with a 24-12 victory in the Cup semi-final. The Samoans couldn't repeat the upset in the final as Fiji took the title with a thrilling 19-14 victory.
Springbok Sevens results, Day 2:
Cup Quarterfinal 4: Fiji 21 South Africa 5
Plate semi-final 1: Canada 5 South Africa 29
Plate final: Australia 26 South Africa 22

Djibouti LP
Djibouti LP (Paperback)
Elmore Leonard, New York Times bestselling author and "the hippest, funniest national treasure in sight" (Washington Post), brings his trademark wit and inimitable style to this twisting, grippingand sometimes playfultale of modern-day piracy
Dara Barr, documentary filmmaker, is at the top of her game. She's covered the rape of Bosnian women, neo-Nazi white supremacists, and post-Katrina New Orleans, and has won awards for all three. Now, looking for a bigger challenge, Dara and her right-hand-man, Xavier LeBo, a six-foot-six, seventy-two-year-old African American seafarer, head to Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa, to film modern-day pirates hijacking merchant ships.
They learn soon enough that almost no one in the Middle East is who he seems to be. The most successful pirate, driving his Mercedes around Djibouti, appears to be a good guy, but his pal, a cultured Saudi diplomat, has dubious connections. Billy Wynn, a Texas billionaire, plays mysterious roles as the mood strikes him. He's promised his girlfriend, Helene, a nifty fashion model, that he'll marry her if she doesn't become seasick or bored while circling the world on his yacht. And there's Jama Raisuli, a black al Qaeda terrorist from Miami, who's vowed to blow up something big.
What Dara and Xavier have to decide, besides the best way to stay alive: Should they shoot the action as a documentary or turn it into a Hollywood feature film?

ARCHAEOLOGY enthusiasts are being urged to get involved with the third and final stage of a project looking at the industrial past of the Lake District.
'Reflections on History' is a joint project by the Lake District National Park and the National Trust and provides opportunities for local people to learn about the past industries of Windermere.
The project has already looked at the industrial themes of woodland and water power but the third stage, starting in April, will take place at the lead mines and slate quarries in Grasmere and Langdale.
An introductory day, including a guided walk to Banks Quarry, Langdale, will be held next month for would-be participants to find out more.
"No prior knowledge or experience is required and on-site training will be provided by qualified archaeologists," said LDNPA Archaeology and Heritage Assistant Holly Beavitt- Pike.
"However given the remote location and nature of the sites it is important that volunteers can demonstrate a reasonable level of fitness in order to take part in the work," she added.
The day begins at 11am on March 9 and is at Langdale Village Hall, Chapel Stile.
A SNOW leopard which featured in a movie starring Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman is the latest addition to a South Lakeland zoo.
Young male Pavan, one of two leopards who played the part of Stelamaria in The Golden Compass, will be housed in a walk-through enclosure at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis at Hale, near Milnthorpe.
Staff have created a homely feel for their new feline friend with the enclosure designed to look like a Himalayan village with plenty of rocks for him to climb and snooze on.
An acrylic tunnel running through the enclosure will allow visitors to see Pavan in his own habitat in what is thought to be the UK's first walk-through big cat exhibit.
Assistant manager of Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, Caroline Howard, said: "We're really excited about Pavan's arrival - he's a real celebrity cat! His new home is amazing. You can walk right through his territory while he ranges around you - even above your head!"
Pavan has arrived from UK charity the Cat Survival Trust which helps conserve endangered cats.
Once he has settled in his new environment, zoo staff hope to form a breeding pair by adding a female snow leopard to Pavan's enclosure.It is not known how many snow leopards are left in the wild but they are now classed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is joining the captive breeding programme which is run by the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

I was listening to Frank Zappa's "Civilization, Phaze III" today and one line of the improvised dialogue used the term "I would gesture to say" in a context which made it clear he meant "venture to say". This being a rather extreme reshaping, I wasn't surprised that it's never been mentioned on Eggcorn Forum, and wasn't expecting to find much when I googled it, but lo and behold, googling "would gesture to say" yields over 900 hits, and it looks like all of them are this eggcorn thing (though some are repeats of the same quote, of course). Some examples:
I would gesture to say the Gears of War(2) fans would tell you the same.
I would gesture to say that it costs them more if I use one gig in a single day versus one gig over a 30 day period.
I would gesture to say she's about 40- 50 lbs overweight.
Interestingly, googling "I'd gesture to say" yields only 4 hits; for some unknown reason people who use this reshaping almost never use the contraction "I'd" in it.
I admit that the meaning connection needed to make this an eggcorn may be a bit strained, but I think we could say "gesture to say" conjures images of people gesturing while talking. What say you, assembled throng; would you gesture to say it's an eggcorn or…? And, have any of you ever encountered this odd duck before?
This is just a suggesture … it sounds like Frank might be giving us the finger.

I like Joe's suggestion that "I'd gesture to say" has notes of "I'd suggest", which makes it a blend, and the hand-waving makes it a squash. Nice.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
If you have anaemia (too few red blood cells) or polycythaemia (too many red blood cells), to assess its severity, and to monitor response to treatment
When to Get Tested?
As part of a full blood count (FBC), which may be requested for a variety of reasons
Sample Required?
A blood sample collected from a vein in your arm or by a finger-prick (children and adults) or heel-prick (newborns)
Test Preparation Needed?
Ideally you should be reasonably hydrated when having a haemoglobin test or the result may be inaccurately high.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of haemoglobin (a protein found in red blood cells) in your blood and is a good indication of your blood's ability to carry oxygen throughout your body. Haemoglobin carries oxygen to cells from the lungs. If your haemoglobin levels are low, you have anaemia, a condition in which your body is not getting enough oxygen, causing fatigue and weakness. If your haemoglobin levels are high, this usually means you have too many red cells which is called polycythaemia. Polycythaemia, when severe, can cause the blood to become too viscous, leading to heart failure, heart attacks or strokes.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is collected by inserting a needle into a vein in your arm or by a finger-prick (for children and adults) or heel-prick (for newborns).
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?
Ideally you should be reasonably hydrated when having a haemoglobin test or the result may be inaccurately high.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Miami University softball team split two games to open the Hilltopper Spring Fling on Friday. The RedHawks defeated Canisius, 5-0, in the opener. They then fell to Belmont, 5-3, in the nightcap. Miami is now 3-3 on the season.
Senior pitcher Paige Myers kept Canisius (2-3) in check during the opener. She threw a complete game shutout, allowing only three hits. She struck out six and now has a 3-0 record with a 0.40 ERA on the season.
The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the fourth. Senior second baseman Kristy Arbour reached on a fielding error. A sacrifice bunt by sophomore third baseman Hailey Reed moved Arbour up to second. Sophomore designated player Jenna Modic reached on a fielding error and was pinch-ran for by sophomore outfielder Tanya Busby. With runners on second and third, a single by shortstop Kylie McChesney drove Arbour and Busby home and made it 2-0.
Miami scored the remainder of its runs in the bottom of the sixth. With one out, Reed singled up the middle. Another single from Modic moved Reed up to second. Junior outfielder Bree Lipscomb reached on a fielder's choice, as Reed was retired at third. A single through the left side by senior first baseman Allie Larrabee loaded the bases. McChesney then unloaded the bases, driving a ball to deep center field to score all three runners and make it 5-0.
McChesney had a great day for the RedHawks, finishing 2-for-3 with a career-high five RBI. Arbour, Reed, Modic and Larrabee also had hits for Miami.
The 'Hawks struck first with a run in the top of the first against Belmont (4-5). Sophomore outfielder Taylor Shuey led off with a bunt single. A sacrifice bunt by Arbour moved Shuey up to second. One batter later, Modic singled through the middle to score Shuey and give Miami a 1-0 lead.
Sophomore pitcher Amber Logemann got the start and kept the Bruins off the board until a run in the bottom of the third tied the score. Belmont was able to break the game open when it scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth to take a 4-1 lead.
It remained that way until the top of the sixth. With one out, Reed singled to right field. She then advanced to second on a wild pitch. A double by Modic brought Reed home and made it 4-2. Busby came in as a pinch-runner for Modic. Lipscomb followed with a double of her own down the left field line to score Busby and pull the 'Hawks to within one at 4-3.
Belmont got one back when it scored in the bottom of the sixth to send the game to the final inning with the Bruins in front, 5-3.
Miami had a great chance to score in the top of the seventh. Larrabee, junior outfielder Tiyona Marshall and Shuey each had singles to load the bases with no one out. Unfortunately for the RedHawks, Bruin pitcher Taylor Moon refocused and was able to get three outs without any further damage done.
Modic finished the night cap 2-for-4 with two RBI. Shuey was 2-for-4 with one run scored.
Miami continues play at the Hilltopper Spring Fling when it takes on host Western Kentucky at 1:30 p.m. (EST).
