Like both of them but OV way more as the citrus aspect just comes alive more on your skin in the heat and projects really well.
CREED Original Vetiver
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
I'm curious as to which you think is better?
Like both of them but OV way more as the citrus aspect just comes alive more on your skin in the heat and projects really well.
I much prefer Grey Vetiver.
Please feel free to check out my Swap Thread - Patou pour Homme, L'Instant de Guerlain PH Extreme, Dior Homme Intense, Pure Malt, Pure Coffee and many more! Click Here For My Swap Thread
looks like the 2 choices are a battle of equals ... one a C+ and the other a C- ... reluctantly will choose Grey Vetiver ... mediocrity rules ...
Have not tried OV but Jack likes it so I probably will too. But I am a big Grey Vetiver fan.
CREED Original Vetiver by far IMO.
Both are nice....I bought OV over GV though. I plan on adding GV soon. I decided to get Black Orchid first instead.
I prefer the Creed.
Grey vet
Grey Vetiver for sure.
I don't see these as having much in common. It's hard to even compare them.
TF Grey Vetiver gives me a headache, and Creed OV doesn't smell much like vetiver to me.
I'd go with Encre Noire, Sycomore, or CDG Vettiveru instead, or Guerlain Vetiver if you want to stick with a more "traditional" take on vetiver.
Went for Original Vetiver myself. Bought both from a fellow BN'er (oh hi, Oslo_Fjord) and just found more at ease with Original Vetiver myself. Gray is something quite else in my book. A fantastic frag, just not for me at the current time (and my girlfriend by far preferes the soapy cleanliness from O.V).
I love Grey Vetiver. I can make my own OV from the water drained off the boiled potatoes, and at a fraction of the cost!
He boiled for our sins.

Got both, and like them both.
But between them I go with CREED.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
TFV for me all the way!!!
Have sampled both. My nose is not highly trained, but I think in a way that is a good thing. Creed is more citrus and fresh. Could picture wearing it on a hot summer day. The Tom Ford is not musky, but to me smells more rich and manly. Probably more formal. Seems like it would make a great work scent
I own and love both. But when reaching for a vetiver, I generally do not even consider OV. I view that as a more clean, soapy scent (one that I love). Grey Vetiver is truer to form, reminding of Guerlain Vetiver. As such, will have to abstain from a vote.
Grey Vetiver. OV starts out great but gets irritating after awhile.
Both great but i enjoyed the creed a little bit more
My vote is for OV. IMO, it's bottle worthy. It projects well too.
GV is nice, but a bit too chalky for me.
I like GV, but Creed OV is one of the few Creed frags I LOVE.
"The most beautiful sea hasnt been crossed yet. The most beautiful child hasnt grown up yet. The most beautiful days we havent seen yet. And the most beautiful words I wanted to tell you... I havent said yet "
-Nazim Hikmet Ran
Have samples of both and plan on getting full bottles of each in the near future, if I had to chose I would probably go with OV

well I'll be damned... the Tom Ford won. didn't predict that one...
EDIT: now it's 24-24!

+1 for the TFGV, but the OV don't suck.
has a poll ever been this close? amazing!
for what it's worth, i own and love both of these fragrances. I wear the CREED when i want to have that ultra-clean fresh feel. less dressy and very casual. i wear the Tom Ford when I want a little more attitude and swagger along with the traditional clean vetiver vibe. more dressed up style.
drydown on the Creed is much better.
longevity on the TF is much better.
i'll keep and continue to enjoy the heck out of both. :-)
Bad girls don't cry but get even.
Weird comparison because I don't really think of OV as a vetiver scent, I just like the scent better than a majority of anything I've tried before. Which includes Grey Vetiver - however, if we're strictly talking which rendition of vetiver do I like better, it's Grey Vetiver.
I own both.
My fav is the OV.
(Oh, how I miss the 1948 Creed Vetiver............)
I find GV to be a much cleaner vetiver than Creed's offering. To me OV is a softer, more muddled scent with less of the crisp, soapy green that I appreciate in a vetiver. Tom Ford wins this one.
If you are looking for a true vetiver scent, Sycomore is the best there is. Period.
But between these two, I would choose Original Vetiver. Nothing original about it but a nice clean, soapy smell that is superb in the summer. Definitely vetiver in there but a lot more going on with bergamot & ginger in the top notes and various woody notes in the base. As with most Tom Fords, this one is powdery, cloying and something in there that just doesn't balance out well. I know many do like it as it's a take on a classic but I just can't give it the vote.
I like both, but I would have to side with Grey Vetiver, something about the top notes when first sprayed always makes me go back for more...
I am not a fan of Grey Vetiver at all, something about it irritates me thoroughly. I have not smelled Original Vetiver, but my top vetiver choices would be Sycomore and Vetiver Extraordinaire, which are both five star fragrances to me.
Like my dentist asking me, "Novocain or no novocain?"
Big Fan of GV
one of those I feel I don't have enough of
Off-Site Decants =) (updated 05/16/12)
Creed OV is a fresher more casual fragrance, TFGV is more formal and serious.
Got them both - love them both!
Grey Vetiver is more traditional vetiver, and Creed is just different. I like them both quite a bit, but I will go with Tom Ford because it's more traditional and represents vetiver better.
How odd. I don't think Grey Vetiver is very traditional. It's much fresher, lighter and more modern than Creed's to me.
GV smells better in the bottle, but OV smells better on the skin. GV can be cloying if too many sprays are applied.
OV for me...It's truly a beautiful fragrance...I can smell everynote listed in the dry down. Is versatile as all get out and shines in the hot weather...TF GV not a versatile and more traditional to me...IMHO...
Original Vetiver has really taken off for me... I like it a lot more than I used to. It's moving it's way up toward Sycomore and Vetiver Tonka. I really like all of my vetiver scents a lot more than before...must be growing on me.
CREED Original Vetiver
CREED Original Vetiver..
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver.
Has to be one of the closest polls ever... And I would have expected OV to landslide it. I like both, but prefer OV.
Grey Vetiver by a country mile.
One of the best spring/summer scents for men ever IMO and one of my personal favourite scents of all time.
Having got both OV and GV recently, i should say GV works better for me. OV is all soapy whereas GV is clean and crisp, how a vetiver should be.
OV. GV smells like a phoney/ nauseating aroma chemical.
Grey Vetiver
Grey Vetiver has better skeletal structure and amazing longevity and Duhhh, cost less: GV is my pick A no brainer!
"Thank GOD for the nose, for without it we would not be enjoying these beautiful created Scents" also Remember "Balance is everything and the key to appreciating "

Thunder Ridge Emu Products Maintenance Plus, natural and unscented, moisturizes while protecting the skin from exposure and chafing. Maintenance Plus acts as a barrier, keeping irritants away from the skin while binding moisture to the skin. A favorite among health care professionals. Maintaining hydration, skin integrity, and elasticity is essential for the prevention of dry skin, scaling and dermatitis which could lead to the formation of ulcers and pressure sores. Due to lack of circulation, keeping the skin lubricated will always be a problem for bed-bound patients, diabetics, wheelchair patients, people undergoing chemotherapy and older adults. However, the hyper-oxygenation of Essential Fatty Acids helps increase the blood flow, improving circulation and speeding up the healing process. In addition to the prevention of skin breakdown, the topical application of Thunder Ridge Maintenance Plus is an excellent way of reducing friction while preventing water loss and skin dehydration.
Thunder Ridge Emu Oil naturally contains Linolenic Acid (Omega 3), Linoleic Acid (Omega 6), and Oleic Acid (Omega 9) along with other Essential Fatty Acids. These Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) have proven beneficial in aiding the healing process. Often called the "Wonder from Down Under", the Australian Aboriginies have known for centuries that both the meat and oil of the emu possess special properties which explain its role as a traditional Aboriginal food and medicine.
Maintaining hydration, skin integrity and elasticity is essential for the prevention of dry, aging skin. The application of Emu Oil will allow the Essential Fatty Acids to penetrate the epidermal layers of the skin down to the basal layer where it enhances new cell proliferation. The hyper-oxygenation of the fatty acid esters contained in Emu Oil increase the local blood flow in the areas of application, accelerating the healing process.
A growing number of users, including professional sports teams, chiropractors, massage and physical therapists and other medical professionals, report excellent results from Emu Oil and Emu Oil basal rubs. There is clinical evidence that it contains a high level of Lenoleic Acid (Omega 6), a substance known to ease the discomfort of muscle and joint pain. In addition to the healing effects Emu Oil has on the skin and inflamed joints, it is also rich in anti-oxidants which help to slow down the aging process and in some cases actually reverses it. It's anti-bacterial, hypo-allergenic and a natural non-comedogenic. Small Wonder it's a favorite among skin care professionals!
What Is Emu Oil? Emu Oil is an ancient healing tool first used by the Native Peoples of Australia to treat the skin, muscles, scalp/hair and joints. á The oil is a base for a multitude of products including emu oil soap, massage oil, lotions and lip balm.
Emu Oil has demonstrated beneficial improvement for the following problems:
About Thunder Ridge Emu Products Thunder Ridge Emu Products CEO Anne Geller has raised emus since 1993 on her 30-acre ranch outside of Manassas, Virginia. Today, around 2000 emus --flightless birds native to Australia-- roam freely in large fenced pastures in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains. Thunder Ridge is the largest emu farm in the eastern United States. Ms. Geller named the Thunder Ridge farm and her company after the low-pitched thunder sound that female emus make. The Australian aborigines' nickname for the emu is translated as "thunder chicken."
Thunder Ridge's unique all-natural feed program is a customized blend of grains and minerals. Thunder Ridge uses no steroids, antibiotics, growth hormones or animal proteins. All meat and oil products from Thunder Ridge emus are completely drug-free. The American Heart Association recommends emu meat, which is low in fat and cholesterol and high in protein and iron. Top chefs and educated consumers have discovered the taste of emu meat is similar to lean beef.
Emu Oil has been used for thousands of years by Australian aborginees for its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and healing properties. It is one of the most promising ancient remedies to catch on in this millennium!

Ryan PT-22A 'Recruit'
Gift from Eric Friedrichsen
The Ryan PT-22 Recruit is a military trainer aircraft that was used by the United States Army Air Corps and its successor, the United States Army Air Force for primary pilot training. It was the first monoplane that the Army had used for primary pilot training, as all previous PT aircraft were biplanes. The "A" designation is for airplanes manufactured for the Netherlands Air Force in the Dutch East Indies.
This airplane was on the dock in San Francisco, awaiting shipment to Djakarta, when the Japanese invaded and captured the Dutch East Indies. The airplane was repossessed by the US Army Air Corps and used as a primary trainer at Mather Field, Sacramento, California.

The United Way has kicked off its annual charity campaign and the goal is $2.1 million across the seven counties that are part of the United Way of Northeast Mississippi.
That big number is not what is important to us here in Union County though. What's important here is how much money we contribute from this county because that is the source of funds available to be spent on worthy causes here.
This year the United Way is contributing $62,000 to agencies for the benefit of Union Countians.
The largest benefactors were the Boys and Girls Clubs with $15,000, Good Samaritan of Union County with $14,000, the local American Red Cross with $8,000, and the Lighthouse Enrichment Center and New Haven School with $5,000 each. Sixteen other agencies shared the rest.
That's not very much for a county of this size. Pontotoc County distributed more than $87,000 this year.
The fault lies with us.
For some reason a good number of businesses and industries in our area do not participate in the campaign. And about three-fourths of the money raised comes from payroll deductions, with employees giving a small amount each week from their paychecks.
The key to successful fundraising is the payroll deduction system, which is a relatively painless way to do our part to support agencies that serve our area. And the money we give is deductible on income taxes.
If you would like to participate in the campaign as a business or as an individual, call the United Way at 662-539-0018. They'll be happy to help you.
We urge you to give if you can. Many worthwhile programs in our area that help those in need depend on our support.

Creed Green Irish Tweed
Though I don't own it, because I could get Cool Water for the same effect at a much cheaper price.
By using the Advanced Search feature in the Fragrance Directory of everyone's favourite fragrance forum, you can work out what fragrances came out the year you were born.
Favourites from my birth year would have to be:
Chanel Antaeus
Czech & Speake Neroli
(Honourable mentions: Czech & Speake No. 88 and YSL Kouros)
So, what are you favourite birth year scents?

I dont know much of the fragrances launched in 1987, but Bois du Portugal is my favorite of this year (also one of my favorites of all time).
Nothing of value during my birth year.
From the fragrances launched in 1985 it seems like GIT, Derby and Sables seem to be the standouts. I have unfortunately not smelled Derby or Sables yet so I'll go with GIT for now.
1985 Ladies and Gentlemen!!
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Dior Poison
3. On reputation only (due to lack of availability) Guerlain Derby
- - - Updated - - -
6 replies and 3 from 1985!! Interesting.
I don't have many to choose from so it's gotta be either Drakkar Noir or Eau Suavage Extreme. Quorum and Artisan's L'Eau du Navigateur are in there too but I'm yet to try them!
Some good stuff in 69 (Azuree, Chamade, O de Lancome, Calandre, Dioressence, Monsieur Rochas). Right now perhaps Calandre, but I alternate between that and Chamade or Azuree.
Le De by Givenchy
Vetiver by Carven
I don't think there were any important male fragrance releases in 1977 - it was, however, a memorable year for the ladies: YSL Opium and Oscar de la Renta's Oscar are both exactly as old as me.
1970- Creed Selection Verte--Never owned but I love the feel. Good stuff.
"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."
--Ben Hogan
The mighty Egoiste
1973 So Creed Acier Aluminium for me (love the dry down: fruity amber)
The year - 1974; the fragrance - Givenchy Gentleman.
Eau Sauvage
Blue Stratos
Irisch Moos (edt and aftershave)
I own both as well
My Top '10' : (In no particular order)

Eau Sauvage. 1966 seems to be a bit of a lean year for fragrances for men. This one, though, is damn good.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
Some nice answers from everyone. Keep 'em coming please!!
Nothing very special in my birth year (1983)...
Chanel No.19
1990's releases are pretty unremarkable save one: Chanel Egoiste.
But I can't say I've had much experience with that fragrance (despite all of its praise on this site) so I can't just vote for it.
MPG Ambre Précieux and Dior Fahrenheit of the ones I have tried
1978 was a bit of a special year for male fragrance, check these out...
Ted Lapidus pour Homme
Azzaro pour Homme
Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme
Ralph Lauren Polo
Aramis Devin
Dunhill Blend 30
Loewe para Hombre
From what I know and like:
Yardley Gold

Good God, I'm old. I was born in 1965.
My surprising choice (edging out Habit Rouge): British Sterling. Yeah, I know it's a cheapie, but my dad wore it for a while, and a second hand bottle of British Sterling may have been the first I ever owned (can't remember now if it was British Sterling, English Leather, or Royal Copenhagen).
Current Top Five:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte
4. Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
5. Creed Original Vetiver
Givenchy III!
Chanel Egoiste, no doubt.
Would you believe there were only 13 fragrances launched in 1954, none of them masculine?
1991 didn't have anything I like, so I'll go with Kenzo Pour Homme.
Sneaky way to obtain the age of fellow basenoters eh?
Perfume lovers of the world UNITE!!!!!
Azzaro Pour Homme
Polo Green
Royall Bay Rhum - Royall Lyme of Bermuda
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
Hermes Equipage
Perfume is like cocktails without the hangover, like chocolate without the calories, like an affair without tears, like a vacation from which you never have to come back.
1971 was not a great year for men's fragrance (never tried YSL PH.)
Let's see 1990...the only two I know from that year are Eternity and Egoiste. I guess Egoiste, even though I don't really care much for it.
It is funny how certain years don't bring up much, yet other years have so many great ones. Perfumery is art and great art in all forms tends to come in waves.

Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!

I wanna say something. Im gonna put it out there. If you like it, you can take it, if you dont, send it right back ."
My favorite offer of 1993 would have to be Platinum Egoiste.
Wow, quite a few other 1985's on here. I'll have to agree with Green Irish Tweed.

5. Preferred Stock
1978 had many ok fragrances coming out, but none I especially enjoy...
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
Easy one for me: Patou Pour Homme (1980)
Jules and Leonard PH are also nice.
Fahrenheit, 1988. Dad wore it solely and continually for the next 12 years.
Nice idea! Sadly, I don't know any of the fragrances in the list that were released in the year of my birth. (1980). I think the closest in my collection would be GIT which I love and also happens to be my SOTD!

Syllabus for STA-201
Principles of Statistics (STA-201) is designed to meet the needs of students in many disciplines and professions. The sciences, social sciences, and business are increasingly using quantitative methods. This course provides the tools and techniques needed to design studies that provide representative data for mathematical analysis and statistical interpretation. Topics include types of statistics, data representations (tables, graphs, and charts), measures of location and variation, probability concepts, continuous and discrete distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, and regression and correlation analysis.
The emphasis of the course is on the application of statistical methods to real-world problems. In solving these problems, you are required to use the appropriate notation and formulas. Problems may be viewed as statistical studies, and as such you should be able to interpret results and justify conclusions.

First Steps to Success
To succeed in this course, take the following first steps:
Study Tips
Consider the following study tips for success:
Students at Thomas Edison State College are expected to exhibit the highest level of academic citizenship. In particular, students are expected to read and follow all policies, procedures, and program information guidelines contained in publications; pursue their learning goals with honesty and integrity; demonstrate that they are progressing satisfactorily and in a timely fashion by meeting course deadlines and following outlined procedures; observe a code of mutual respect in dealing with mentors, staff, and other students; behave in a manner consistent with the standards and codes of the profession in which they are practicing; keep official records updated regarding changes in name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address; and meet financial obligations in a timely manner. Students not practicing good academic citizenship may be subject to disciplinary action including suspension, dismissal, or financial holds on records.
Academic Dishonesty
Thomas Edison State College expects all of its students to approach their education with academic integrity—the pursuit of scholarly assignment free from fraud and deception. All mentors and administrative staff members at the College insist on strict standards of academic honesty in all courses. Academic dishonesty undermines this objective. Academic dishonesty takes the following forms:
Academic dishonesty will result in disciplinary action and possible dismissal from the College. Students who submit papers that are found to be plagiarized will receive an F on the plagiarized assignment, may receive a grade of F for the course, and may face dismissal from the College.
A student who is charged with academic dishonesty will be given oral or written notice of the charge. If a mentor or College official believes the infraction is serious enough to warrant referral of the case to the academic dean, or if the mentor awards a final grade of F in the course because of the infraction, the student and the mentor will be afforded formal due process.
If a student is found cheating or using unauthorized materials on an examination, he or she will automatically receive a grade of F on that examination. Students who believe they have been falsely accused of academic dishonesty should seek redress through informal discussions with the mentor, through the office of the dean, or through an executive officer of Thomas Edison State College.
Using someone else's work as your own is plagiarism. Although it may seem like simple dishonesty, plagiarism is against the law. Thomas Edison State College takes a strong stance against plagiarism, and students found to be plagiarizing will be severely penalized. If you copy phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or whole documents word-for-word—or if you paraphrase by changing a word here and there—without identifying the author, then you are plagiarizing. Please keep in mind that this type of identification applies to Internet sources as well as to print-based sources. Copying and pasting from the Internet, without using quotation marks and without acknowledging sources, constitutes plagiarism. (For information about how to cite Internet sources, see Online Student Handbook > Academic Standards > "Citing Sources.")
Accidentally copying the words and ideas of another writer does not excuse the charge of plagiarism. It is easy to jot down notes and ideas from many sources and then write your own paper without knowing which words are your own and which are someone else's. It is more difficult to keep track of each and every source. However, the conscientious writer who wishes to avoid plagiarizing never fails to keep careful track of sources.
Always be aware that if you write without acknowledging the sources of your ideas, you run the risk of being charged with plagiarism.
Clearly, plagiarism, no matter the degree of intent to deceive, defeats the purpose of education. If you plagiarize deliberately, you are not educating yourself, and you are wasting your time on courses meant to improve your skills. If you plagiarize through carelessness, you are deceiving yourself.

Land of Promise: An Economic History of the United States
Land of Promise: An Economic History of the United States (Paperback)
A sweeping and original work of economic history by Michael Lind, one of Americas leading intellectuals, Land of Promise recounts the epic story of Americas rise to become the worlds dominant economy. As ideological free marketers continue to square off against Keynesians in Congress and the press, economic policy remains at the center of political debate. Land of Promise offers a much-needed historical framework that sheds new light on our pastwisdom that offers lessons essential to our future. Building upon the strength and lucidity of his New York Times Notable Books The Next American Nation and Hamiltons Republic, Lind delivers a necessary and revelatory examination of the roots of American prosperityinsight that will prove invaluable to anyone interested in exploring how we can move forward.

Syrian copter crashed as new bodies found in Daraya
A Syrian army helicopter crashed Monday in Damascus as rebels claimed to shot it down. The official Syrian television said that a helicopter had crashed near a mosque in the neighborhood of Qaboun in the east of Damascus.
Omar al-Qabouni, spokesman for the rebel Badr Brigade, said his men had shot down the aircraft. "It was a revenge after the massacre of Daraya," he said via Skype. A video posted by activists shows the helicopter catches fire and falls steeply near homes.
According to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR), violent fighting between the army and rebels continued in several areas of northeast Damascus, in particular Jobar.
At least 20 people were killed in violence on Monday, according to a provisional statement by the Syrian NGO, who said Sunday's death toll stood at 149 dead.
Eight civilians, including three children and two women, were killed in a bombing in Kafar Batna in the province of Damascus, while four rebels and six soldiers were killed in the fighting in Jobar. A couple also died in a military assault on al-Qal Madiq in the province of Hama, added SOHR.
Intense bombardment also targeted, according to the SOHR, districts of Aleppo where the rebels are entrenched and engaged for more than a month in a crucial battle with the regime forces.
At Daraya, 7 km south of Damascus, the SOHR reported that 14 new bodies were found, following the announcement by the rebels of the discovery of at least 320 bodies after an army offensive that lasted five days. The regime, for its part ,claimed to have cleared Daraya from "terrorist mercenaries" who had committed "crimes against the locals."
Top Headlines
In my view, the international community and the Arab world should be blamed for the killing of civilians in Syria not Assad. This is because they tackled the issue with hypocrisy. If they had not openly supported the Rebels, they would have by now gotten the solution to the crisis. God is watching

Covert Communications in Classrooms, Clinics, Courtrooms, and Corporations
Robert Rosenthal is one of the most influential psychologists of our time. In 1968 he published his book (with Lenore Jacobson) Pygmalion in the Classroom, which outlined his research on what has been termed the "self-fulfilling prophecy." In this classic work Rosenthal demonstrated that teachers' expectations about their students' academic abilities were subtly communicated to the students and affected the students' actual academic performance throughout the school year. Since then, Professor Rosenthal has studied the role of the self-fulfilling prophecy in doctor-patient, manager-employee, psychotherapist-patient, and in many other settings. Professor Rosenthal has also made major contributions in the areas of research methodology, quantitative methods, and in the study of nonverbal communication processes.
Rosenthal is the author or coauthor of over 300 journal articles and more than two dozen books. He has received numerous awards for his research, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science's Prize for Behavioral Science Research and the Distinguished Scientist Award of the Society of Experimental Social Psychology.
Currently Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Riverside, Rosenthal was the Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, where he taught from 1962 to 1999. Born in Giessen, Germany, Robert Rosenthal received his A.B. and Ph.D. from UCLA. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Psychological Association, and the American Psychological Society.
Professor Rosenthal's lecture is jointly sponsored by CMC's Kravis Leadership Institute and the Department of Psychology.
The Spread of Nuclear Weapons: A Debate
What are the likely consequences of the spread of nuclear weapons to an increasing number of states in the international system? Will nuclear proliferation lead to stable deterrence between India and Pakistan and other potential nuclear rivals, or will the risks of accidents, crises, and war increase? In his Athenaeum lecture Dr. Sagan will address these and other crucial questions about the future of global security.
Sagan will first present an explanation of which states have developed nuclear weapons and why. He will then analyze two schools of thought-nuclear optimists and proliferation pessimists. Finally, he will present emerging evidence supporting the theory that nuclear proliferation is leading to dangerous conditions in South Asia today, and in other areas of the globe in the near future.
Scott Sagan is associate professor of political science and codirector of Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation. Before joining the Stanford faculty, he was a lecturer in the government department at Harvard University. In recent years, Sagan has served as a consultant to the Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory. He is the author of Moving Targets: Nuclear Strategy and National Security (1989), The Limits of Safety: Organizations, Accidents, and Nuclear Weapons (1993), coauthor of The Spread of Nuclear Weapons: A Debate (1995), and coeditor of Planning the Unthinkable (2000).
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is pleased to sponsor this lecture by Scott Sagan.
Rebuilding the IMF and the World Bank
Professor Charles Calomiris is one of the country's leading authorities on financial institutions, and one of the leading proponents for international finance reform. Currently serving as the Paul M. Montrone Professor of Finance and Economics at the Business School of Columbia University, Calomiris focuses his research on corporate finance, banking, financial history, and monetary economics. He is also a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and directs the American Enterprise Institute's project on financial regulation. He has received research grants from the National Science Foundation, the World Bank, and the Garn Institute of finance, and has published prolifically in American Economic Review, The Cato Journal, and The Journal of Economic History.
While Calomiris has established himself as an expert in a wide range of economic concentrations, his most influential work has been his strategy to reform world financial institutions, especially the World Bank and the IMF. Calomiris argues that these global financial institutions have failed to promote stable growth in developing economies and have often become inappropriately involved in the government and economy of the countries they are trying to help. Calomiris has been instrumental in our government's proposals to the IMF for reform, and presented his plan to redesign the IMF to the President's Joint Economic Committee. Under the Calomiris plan, the IMF would cease to offer subsidized, below market interest rates; would refuse to fund countries that lacked basic domestic banking standards; and would shorten the time that loans take to mature. As a consequence, the IMF would not be tied up in long-term loans and feel compelled to micromanage the economy and policy of the debtor.
Professor Calomiris joins us at the Athenaeum to offer insight into world financial institutions, and to summarize the suggested reforms for the IMF and World Bank.
The Murals of Diego Rivera
Turn of the century Mexican muralist Diego Rivera combined talent, artistic knowledge, and powerful symbolism into poignant paintings. And he put those paintings on buildings and streets for all to see. Rivera studied art at the San Carlos Academy and was heavily influenced by the carvings of artist Jose Guadalupe Posada. This was combined with post-modern and cubist influence from his studies in Paris. Rivera's murals capture the past with depictions of historical events and simple life. An important figure in Mexican culture, he was a close friend of both Leon Trotsky and Pablo Picasso.
In this special multimedia Athenaeum presentation Gregorio Luke, director of the Museum of Latin American Art and a renowned expert in Mexican art, will discuss Rivera's life and works with the aid of life-size projections of Rivera's paintings and murals. Gregorio Luke has served as First Secretary for the Mexican Embassy in Washington, DC, and Consul General for the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles. He has lectured at the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, and numerous prominent universities. In 1995 Luke received the Irving Leonard Award from the Hispanic Society of the Library of Congress.
Gregorio Luke offers Athenaeum guests a rare and wonderful opportunity to learn about these monumental works of art.

The Athenaeum will be filled with jazz as we celebrate the musical brilliance of legendary composer, pianist, and bandleader Duke Ellington. Edward Kennedy Ellington was born in Washington, DC, in 1899. He began studying keyboard at the age of seven and was strongly influenced by ragtime music. After making his professional debut at 17, his exceptional talent was soon recognized. Fats Waller encouraged him to move to New York. There Ellington's band became the house band of the famed Cotton Club and Ellington himself developed and nurtured the unique style that would bring him to the pinnacle of the jazz world. He combined classic symphonic devices, the call-and- response technique, and ternary forms to take big band jazz to new heights.
Radio brought his performances into homes and exposed new audiences to the wonders of jazz. Ellington's compositions and gifted band found success after success earning him the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the cover of Time magazine. He was also the first jazz musician to become a member of the Royal Music Academy in Stockholm and served as a major influence for other artists such as Thelonius Monk, Charles Mingus, and Bill Evans.
William Berry, who played cornet with the Ellington Band, will join the American Jazz Institute Band for this special performance at the Athenaeum.
Poetry Reading
Amiri Baraka is a talented and original poet, playwright, and activist, who has had a profound influence on modern drama, verse, and artistic expression. Amin Baraka was born Leroi Jones in Newark, New Jersey, in 1934. He earned a science scholarship to Rutgers University, but soon transferred to Howard University where he studied philosophy, religion, and German, while concentrating in English literature. Two years later Baraka dropped out of college to join the Air Force. He served as a gunner on a B-36 stationed in Puerto Rico, but spent most of his military career reading. When he left the service in 1957, he moved to the lower east side and joined the New York beat poetry community. Baraka became coeditor of an avant-garde literary magazine that published works by beat poets such as Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac. It was in this magazine, Yugen, that Baraka first published his own work. He also published reviews, poems, essays, and letters in numerous small magazines. In 1959 Baraka founded Totem Press. That same year he was invited to Cuba and soon after began writing social commentaries and drama. Baraka became an instant icon after the successful production of his three dramatic works The Toilet (1962), Dutch Man (1963), and The Slave (1962). He took teaching positions at Columbia University and the University of Buffalo, received numerous literary awards, and published a social history of African-American music.
In the mid-60s, caught in an era of riots, social upheaval, and change, Baraka abandoned the avant-garde community and moved to Harlem. There his writing and dramatic work became confrontational, Afro-centric, and often violent. He changed his name and opened a theater that was closed when police claimed to have found an arsenal of weapons. He reopened in Newark and was jailed during the aftermath of the Newark riots. When he emerged, he became politically active, organizing a black power conference and supporting a mayoral challenger. In the mid-70s, Baraka's writing and work took another turn when he embraced Marxism. Throughout his career, he rejected the differentiation between the object that is art and the artist. Baraka's work is both powerful and highly personal.
It is an honor for the Athenaeum to host this great American poet.
Year of the Dragon, Draco Arts Golden Dragon Team
February 5th, 2000, marks the first day of the new lunar year, the beginning of a traditional two-week-long celebration in many Asian cultures. The Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum will be hosting its seventh annual dinner and program to commemorate this colorful Asian holiday.
The Chinese Zodiac marks this year as the Year of the Dragon. People born in this year are believed to take on the characteristics of their zodiac animal. Dragons are said to be honest, sensitive and sincere, and inspire trust in others. They are courageous and full of energy, and are believed to be great warriors. People born in the year of the dragon are also said to be short-tempered, excitable, and very stubborn. The zodiac advises people born in the year of the dragon to search out friends born in the year of the rat, serpent, or monkey, and to avoid the ox, hare, and other dragons.
Chefs Dave and Sid will be preparing an authentic Chinese New Year feast. The meal will be accompanied by traditional lion dance, folk dance, martial arts, acrobatics, and music performed by the Draco Arts Golden Dragon Team. Draco Arts is a community-based organization founded in 1994 to preserve and promote various performing arts of China.
Due to the popularity of this event, dinner reservations will only be available to students, faculty, and staff from CMC.
Globalism, the Constitution, and American Democracy: Why Do We Bomb Kosovo But Not Kill Sea Turtles?
Will globalism in the 21st century render the U.S. Constitution obsolete? Discussing this pressing question is John C. Yoo, a professor of law at the University of California at Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law. Using Kosovo as his case study, Professor Yoo will tackle what he believes to be most significant challenge to the U.S. constitution in the 21st century: globalism. While acknowledging the legitimacy of Clinton's military intervention, Yoo rejects the proposed delegation of U.S. military to non-U.S. officers. He argues that international law and treaties should not change the traditional balance of power between the President and the Congress.
Yoo will also ask the question, "Will the U.N. replace the U.S. as the foremost international moderator?" In his discussion he will examine the historical basis for a relinquishment of U.S. sovereignty and will comment on the dangers and benefits of further delegation.
Yoo has written extensively on the widespread use of the U.S. military from the beginning of the 20th century through Kosovo. His scholarly work also covers public lawmaking, the separation of powers, foreign relations, and international law and trade. He served as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and as General Counsel of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. He is the recipient of several prestigious fellowships and has been invited to teach at the Free University of Amsterdam and the George Washington Law School.
Yoo's lecture is the first in the Salvatori Center's spring speaker series.

Five Little Pigs: A Hercule Poirot Mystery
Five Little Pigs: A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Paperback)
Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband, but just like the nursery rhyme, there were five other little pigs who could have done it: Philip Blake (the stockbroker), who went to market; Meredith Blake (the amateur herbalist), who stayed at home; Elsa Greer (the three-time divorcÉe), who had her roast beef; Cecilia Williams (the devoted governess), who had none; and Angela Warren (the disfigured sister), who cried all the way home.
Sixteen years later, Carolines daughter is determined to prove her mothers innocence, and Poirot just cant get that nursery rhyme out of his mind.

Why SA?
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
You're kidding me! Our NBA team has to move to another city to practice because their training facility is being used as a food stamp distribution site? Pathetic! Only in New Orleans!
This is why I can't wait for our new facility to open right next to the Saints.
i think that was a joke....or a guess....calm down
Is it against rules for them to use the arena?
This has to be some sort of joint venture with the Spurs or something Benson is doing for his connections in San Antonio right? Even if the Alario center was unavailable I'm sure they could work out some sort of facility sharing with an area college rather than go all the way to San Antonio.
It could be Monty wanting the guys to bond during workouts or whatever, like how NFL teams to training camps in completely different states sometimes. Can't hurt considering all the new faces on the team this year.
It COULD be a number of things. We don't really know the real reason why they're practicing in SA. But it wouldn't be the first time they couldn't use the Alario center because something else was going on there. Like I said in a thread once before, they've already been made fun of because they practice in a place where government cheese has been given out. Benson has ties to SA, Monty has ties to SA. Once the new facility is done I think it would be easier to assume they're practicing elsewhere in order to bond or to get out of the comforts of the normal environment. When we hear the Saints are practicing elsewhere we know it's NOT because their facility is being used for something else.
Thunder are also in SA. Simply practice against other teams, as opposed to strictly working out with teammates. Don't read anything else into it.
Working out with Pop hopefully
.A majority of New Orleans Hornets players, including No. 1 draft pick Anthony Davis and rookie guard Austin Rivers, are in San Antonio this week for voluntary workouts with the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder.
Hornets spokesman Dennis Rogers said players put themselves through intense five-on-five scrimmages last week at the Alario Center to prepare for this week's work.
They hope to take advantage of the stiffer competition they will face this week. Behind All-Star forward Kevin Durant, the Thunder advanced to the NBA Finals last season but lost to the Miami Heat. The Spurs had the best record in the Western Conference at 50-16 before losing to the Thunder in the conference finals.
After finishing with a 21-45 record last season, the Hornets are expected to one of the young emerging teams to watch led by Davis, who won a gold medal as the youngest member on the U.S. Olympic basketball team last month at the London Olympics.
Trying to build chemistry before training camp begins on Oct. 2, Hornets have had as many as 11 players participate in volunteer workouts since last month.
``Because the National Guard is using the Alario Center as a (food stamp card) distribution center we want to respect the process,'' Demps said. ``What they're doing is far more important than basketball.''
Ryan Anderson @ryananderson33
We have had 2 great days of workouts with the Spurs! I'm really excited for the season were gonna have. The guys all look great!!!
Man I can't wait... this team is gonna be so much fun to watch I just hope we can stay healthy.
At any rate... the guys are getting some good work in and also building chemistry. Love it.

CS148 Assignment Enclosure Escape
From Brown University Robotics
(Difference between revisions)
Revision as of 18:53, 26 August 2010
This project is structured to acquaint you with the basics of writing robot controllers using ROS (the Robot Operating System) in the context of building an "enclosure escape" robot controller. ROS runs onboard a robot (or any computing device) and provides a software interface to the robot hardware, such as sensors and actuators, over an IP network. Similar to a hardware abstraction layers for modern operating systems, ROS is considered robot middleware to facilitate portability across robot hardware and reusability of robot software components.
A video of Lisa Miller's implementation of this assignment from Spring Semester 2009.
Important Dates
Assigned: Sept XX, 2010
Due: Sept XX, 2010
ROS Framework and brown-ros-pkg
ROS for Robot Control
A primary motivation of ROS is to facilitate modular design and reuse of software components, portability across robot hardware, and programming language independence. Central to ROS is the concept of a ROS node, ROS's basic building block. Each node is a modular process with some specialized purpose. For example, there may be a node that handles the basic movement of the robot, and there may be another node that simply publishes information from a camera. From these simple nodes, nodes performing more complex behavior can be created. For example, a node can be created to recognize objects from information provided by the camera driver node. Further, another node take in information about recognized objects and output commands that move the robot to follow selected objects.
Nodes exchange information over an IP network as messages that are topics (handled in a publish-subscribe manner) or services (handled in a request-response manner). To moderate communication in ROS, there a special node called the master node. Conceptually, this node is a matchmaker that is responsible connecting publishers to subscribers (or requesters to services) for data messages of a particular ROS topic. Once nodes are matched, the publishing node will talk directly to its subscriber(s). An illustrations of how ROS performs matchmaking is shown, with an additional example File:Rosmaster.pdf. ROS also uses a parameter server to pass arguments to nodes from the command line using rosparam.
Although ROS nodes can be developed in any programming language that can support ROS messages, the only fully supported ROS client libraries are currently for Python and C++. brown-ros-pkg provides a package Javascript support for ROS using websockets.
A more complete conceptual and technical overview of ROS is described on the main ROS web site.
As surveyed by Huang et al., it should be noted that ROS is only one of many viable robot middleware frameworks. Also, the core functionality of ROS is to perform socket-based inter-process communication, or "communications and marshalling" as described for the LCM library. The "robot" aspects of ROS are due to its support for robot-related devices and software, which are a complementary but orthogonal features to inter-process communication.
ROS for the iRobot Create
The brown-ros-pkg is a collection of nodes that includes basic sensing and movement functionality for the iRobot Create. For this assignment, you will be using the irobot_create_2_1 package. irobot_create_2_1 publishes messages of the robot's current sensing (e.g., whether the robot's left or right bumper is pressed) and has services for controlling the robot (e.g., the robot's driving speed and rotation).
ROS as a Build Environment
In addition to providing a software interface for robots, ROS also provides a build environment for software development that resembles a package management system. The package is the primary element in the ROS build environment "that logically constitutes a useful module." A package is typically a directory containing a collection of ROS nodes with related files, such as service and message definitions, makefiles, and external libraries. Packages can be compiled using the rosmake or rosdep commands, handling the process of building executable nodes and "some special ROS magic." The ROS build system uses CMake at its core. Packages can be created using the roscreate-pkg command, providing a skeleton of a valid package as a starting point. Dependencies for a package can be found using the rospack command.
As you may have noticed, ROS tends to rosinvent existing unix tools for easier navigation of ROS packages. For example, rosbash includes several ros-ified commands such as roscd, rosls, etc.
ROS support packages
Assignment Instructions
For this assignment, you will be expected to work with an existing installation of ROS to write a simple random traversal controller to escape a static environment.
Before writing your own controller, you must first setup the robot and verify that it is running properly. Once your controller is completed, you will implement a random traversal controller run experiments to evaluate how well your system can escape from an enclosed area.
Your tasks for this assignment are as follows.
Setup remote access to the robot's netbook
> ssh obot@IPADDRESS
Run ROS and teleoperate the robot
> source /opt/ros/cturtle/setup.sh > export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=WORKING_DIRECTORY:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
> roscore
> rosrun irobot_create_2_1 driver.py
> rosrun teleop_twist_keyboard teleop_twist_keyboard.py
If successful, you should see the following interface appear in the teleoperation terminal and control the robot (driving and turning speed) from your keyboard.
Be careful: the robot will continue to execute the last command given.
Reading from the keyboard and Publishing to Twist! --------------------------- Moving around: u i o j k l m , . q/z : increase/decrease max speeds by 10% w/x : increase/decrease only linear speed by 10% e/c : increase/decrease only angular speed by 10% anything else : stop CTRL-C to quit
Write your own random traversal controller
It is highly recommended that you go through the ROS tutorials on ros.org. These instructions roughly follow the ROS tutorial on creating a simple publisher and subscriber. We skip over several helpful details and features in the interest of being concise.
> cd /home/obot/ros/<GROUPNAME>
> roscreate-pkg enclosure_escape rospy std_msgs irobot_create_2_1
> roscd beginner_tutorials
#!/usr/bin/env python import roslib; roslib.load_manifest('enclosure_escape') import rospy from geometry_msgs.msg import Twist from irobot_create_2_1.msg import SensorPacket # global variables bump = False # listen (adapted from line_follower def processSensing(sensorPacket): global bump bump = sensorPacket.bumpLeft or sensorPacket.bumpRight #newInfo = True def hello_create(): pub = rospy.Publisher('cmd_vel', Twist) rospy.Subscriber('sensorPacket', SensorPacket, processSensing) rospy.init_node('hello_create') #listen global bump twist = Twist() while not rospy.is_shutdown(): if bump: str = "hello create, you have bumped into something %s"%rospy.get_time() rospy.loginfo(str) twist.linear.x = 0; twist.linear.y = 0; twist.linear.z = 0 twist.angular.x = 0; twist.angular.y = 0; twist.angular.z = 0 bump = False else: str = "hello create, you can spin now %s"%rospy.get_time() rospy.loginfo(str) twist.linear.x = 0.1; twist.linear.y = 0; twist.linear.z = 0 twist.angular.x = 0; twist.angular.y = 0; twist.angular.z = 0.1 pub.publish(twist) rospy.sleep(1.0) if __name__ == '__main__': try: hello_create() except rospy.ROSInterruptException: pass
Make the source for this node is executable:
> chmod +x nodes/hello_create.py
> rosmake enclosure_escape
> rosrun enclosure_escape hello_create.py
Committing your package to your repository
The enclosure escape package should be committed to your group's repository. The package we have just created is in a temporary working space on the laptop that could be deleted at any time. Checking your package into a repository on the CS filesystem ensures your code is accessible by everyone in your group and the course staff, protected, backed up, and version controlled to prevent conflicts during collaborative coding. Please read this git tutorial thoroughly at least through the end of chapter four; for now the important parts are below, but you should know everything in this tutorial. Before starting here, be sure you've told the TAs your group name so that you have a repository in the course directory.
We expect your repository to have one folder for each project. While you will be able to view or tamper with the repositories of other groups, doing so is a violation of the honor code and we'll notice.
To get a copy of your empty repository, use this command:
> git clone /course/cs148/repo/groupname
Put the code you've been working on in groupname/escape and then, from that directory, run:
> git add . > git commit -a -m "My first commit!" > git push
The last line puts your code into the repository in the course directory.
In order to synchronize your code with the repository, use this command:
> git pull
Experiments and Reporting
conduct least 3 trials at 3 different start locations in 3 different environments. measure total time, number of collisions. all of your trials must use the same controller without modification.
Document your controller and experimental results in a written report. You are welcome to experiment with various enclosure escape algorithms and evaluate the relative performance of each. The details of how this report is graded are discussed in the following section. Example reports are provided in the ``Documents" section of the \href{http://www.cs.brown.edu/courses/cs148/}{course website}. When finished, your report should be committed to the enclosure_escape/docs directory of the repository that you checked out.
Your grade for this assignment will be determined by equal weighting of your group's implementation (50\%) and your individual written report (50\%). The weighted breakdown of grading factors for this assignment are as follows:
