Many common cleaning products are hazardous to the environment when flushed down the toilet or thrown away*. Fumes from household cleansers and other products make indoor air in the typical home two to five times more polluted than the air outside! Children, seniors, and pets are particularly sensitive to chemicals.

Unwanted medicines pose a risk to people's safety when stored in homes and can pollute the environment when improperly disposed. A significant amount of medicine goes unused; an estimated total of 10 to 33 percent of medicines sold. Medicines in the home were responsible for 85 percent of accidental poisoning deaths in Washington in 2006. Many involved young children and the elderly. The abuse of prescription pain relievers, stimulants, and other medicines is also a growing problem in our communities.

Recycle used cooking oil and keep it out of the sewage system! Instead, convert it to biodiesel, a sustainable, low carbon fuel.
Residents are encouraged to use this free self-service program, open 24 hours a day, all year round. The cooking oil collection tank is located at the northern edge of the parking lot between the City's Senior Center and campus parking garage at: 8703 160th Ave. NE.
To ensure safe and secure transport and disposal of your fats and grease, put the cooled oil and grease from fryers, pots or pans in a sealed container such as a plastic milk jug. At the disposal tank, slowly pour the cooking oil into the collection container to avoid splatters. Be sure to close the tank's lid when finished. Take your own containers back home for reuse or disposal and leave nothing behind but the cooking oil you deposited.
This collection site is for cooking oil only. NO motor oil or other petroleum products. Thank you!

Reduce: Can I buy this product with less packaging?
Reuse: Can I or someone else use this again?
Recycle: Can I recycle this after I use it?
Buy Recycled: Can I get this item with recycled content?
For more information visit King County's Waste Prevention page.

Report from Somalia and a Look to the Future
TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 1993 4:00 p.m., MARY PICKFORD AUDITORIUM
With three decades of global diplomatic experience, Ambassador Robert Oakley is the troubleshooter U.S. presidents have relied on when America's role in calming world hot spots called for the greatest skill.
The most recent example came when President George Bush asked Ambassador Oakley to serve as U.S. Special Envoy to Somalia in an effort to save the African nation from starvation and chaos.
Ambassador Oakley was already nationally known as a skilled diplomat as a result of his three years as U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan during the time that the Mujahideen fought the Soviet-installed regime in Afghanistan.
He had also served previously as U.S. Ambassador to Zaire and to Somalia, so was certainly no stranger to Africa. Other overseas postings included Sudan, Ivory Coast, Vietnam, Paris, and strife-torn Beirut.
Ambassador Oakley is a fellow of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a recipient of several high awards for his service to the country.
Ambassador Oakley speaks at 4:00 p.m. in Mary Pickford Auditorium.

Additionally, he led the confirmation team for Henry Cisneros as secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
Mr. Wright is an expert in urban economic development. In Chicago, he has served as Commissioner of Economic Development, where he was responsible for the formulation of economic development policy, programming project development and implementation. He also pioneered Chicago's Minority Leveraged Buyout Program, a program supporting the acquisition of industrial companies by qualified minority entrepreneurs. Currently, Mr. Wright is Of Counsel to the Chicago-based law firm of Sachnoff & Weaver, Ltd.
Mr. Wright graduated from CMC in 1977 with dual degrees in economics and political science. He also holds a JD from UCLA Law School
Sacred Earth and Healing Rituals of Tibet

Gaden is recognized for being one of the foremost centers of education in all aspects of Tibetan Buddhism and was the third largest center for learning in Tibet until 1959.
Please join us for what promises to be an enriching cultural and learning experience.
The NAMES Project Aids Memorial Quilt
Cleve Jones founded the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt in 1986 after AIDS took the life of a close friend. The quilt, with almost two thousand panels, was first displayed on the Capitol Mall in Washington, D.C., on October 11, 1987. The quilt now has more than twenty thousand panels, each dedicated in remembrance of a loved one who has died of AIDS. The goals of the NAMES Project is to bring a human element to the statistics behind AIDS and to increase awareness of HIV and AIDS.
In the early 1970s, Mr. Jones worked for Harvey Milk, the city supervisor of San Francisco and one of the first openly gay elected officials. He has since worked for state Assemblyman Leo McCarthy and as an assistant to Art Agnos, then the mayor of San Francisco. He also served as an elected member of the San Francisco County Democratic Central Committee. In 1982, Mr. Jones helped to create the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, one of the first organizations established in the United States in response to the AIDS epidemic.
The NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt will be exhibited for general viewing in McKenna Auditorium and the Athenaeum from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, April 30, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, May 1 and 2. Mr. Jones speaks Thursday, April 29.

Storage and Operation
Another area where battery backup power surges ahead of gas generators is in its silent, emission-free operation. Also, battery systems are discreetly stored or installed inside the house, where they plug into any wall outlet for charging (when the grid is up, that is).
Gas generators of all types must be operated outdoors, due to their toxic exhaust, and they can be quite noisy -- particularly portable units. Gas generators also need a reserve supply of fuel, which requires outdoor storage as well as conditioning additives and/or periodic replacement of the fuel so the gas doesn't go bad while it sits.

Bart is a friendly guy who likes a balanced lifestyle. He enjoys giving and receiving affection on occasion, but he also enjoys quality alone time camped out on his favorite comfy chair or couch cushion.
This special cat has been under our care for more than two years! While he's uncomfortable with extensive handling in the shelter environment, we think he'll loosen up once he's living large in his new forever home. He'd prefer to be the only pet in your home, and will get along fine with teens 13-and-up. Adopt Bart today!
Bart is available for adoption at the ASPCA Adoption Center. If you are interested in adopting please call our Adoptions department in New York City at (212) 876-7700 ext. 4120. To learn more about Bart, please visit his page.
Want to stay up-to-date on the latest ASPCA Pet of the Week?
Sign up to receive our weekly newsletter, ASPCA News Alert - you'll receive important updates on what's going on and how you can make an impact to save animals' lives!
Oh, Bart, I hope a patient, wonderful person comes along very soon to scoop you up and give you a new home where you can relax and play and be really spoiled. Two years is far too long for you to be at the shelter. You need your own place. Once you're home, you'll come out of your shell. I'm sure of it.
I would love to adopt Bart, BUT I don't think shipping him from NY City to Jamestown. NY would be cost effective or good for Bart. WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE ADOPT HIM THAT LIVES CLOSER TO NEW YORK CITY? He would be your forever friend/child. I know that the cats I have now are my precious "kids"!!!!!!!
He is a beautiful young man! I know that he will be a wonderful addition to a loving family, God Bless You Bart!

The Sovereign Debt Crisis in Europe and the Future of the Euro
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Dr. Guy Sorman is a French professor, columnist, author, and public intellectual in economics and philosophy. His ideas about renewable energy and environmentalism, as expressed in his book Progress and its Enemies, are particularly controversial. Sorman is assertive in regard to human rights in China and in regard to democracy in many places including Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Chile, Poland, and Argentina.
In 1979, he founded a French NGO, Action against Hunger (ACF) and served as its president until 1990, when he became its Honorary President. He is the global advisor of the South Korean President. Sorman has held many government positions in France. After completing in 1969 his studies at both highly selective Institut d'Etude Politique and at the Ecole Nationale d'Administration, he taught economy at the elite university of Sciences Po Paris and in numerous international Universities (China, United States, Russia, Argentina). He left the public administration to focus on writing, teaching and publishing.
Sorman is the author of twenty books on contemporary affairs. He is a regular columnist for Le Figaro in France, the Wall Street Journal and City Journal (contributing editor ) in the United States, Dong A in Korea, Fakt in Poland, La Nacion in Argentina, and other foreign publications. Sorman taught economics at the Paris Institute of Political Sciences from 1970 to 2000. In 1985, he was a visiting scholar at Stanford University's Hoover Institution.
Sorman is also a member of the French National Commission for the Human Rights and the adjunct major and president of the Social and Economic Council of the city of Boulogne-Billancourt. He was also president of the strategy and futurology Committee for the French Prime Minister between 1995 and 1997.

China began the twentieth century as the "sick man of Asia," weak and ill-governed, repeatedly defeated by the Western powers and Japan, fearing that like the Ottoman Empire it might be carved up and disappear from the historical stage. Now, China has the world's most dynamic economy and displays a new confidence as an emerging global power. For decades, the study of modern China focused on explaining a series of revolutionary ruptures from the fall of the last empire in 1911 to Mao's communist revolution, revolutions that were usually seen as stemming from the failure of the traditional Chinese state and society to adapt to the modern world. Thus revolutionary change was necessary for the modern nation-building project.
Now looking back from the twenty-first century, China no longer looks very revolutionary—nor does it appear to be a failure. How, then, are we to rethink modern Chinese history? Some would create a new historical narrative in which the Chinese revolution was one extended detour, a series of accidents and mistakes. The question I would pose is whether it is wise to ignore the Chinese revolution altogether. If not, how do we fit the revolution into a new narrative that sees more than just failure in the pre-revolutionary past, and more than just the rejection of revolution in the post-Mao present.
Joseph W. Esherick is emeritus professor of history and Hsiu Professor of Chinese Studies at the University of California, San Diego. Receiving his B.A. from Harvard (1964) and his Ph.D. from Berkeley (1971), he is author of The Origins of the Boxer Uprising, Reform and Revolution in China: The 1911 Revolution in Hunan and Hubei, and most recently, Ancestral Leaves: A Family Journey Through Chinese History. He is also co-author of Chinese Archives: An Introductory Guide, co-editor of Chinese Local Elites and Patterns of Dominance, The Chinese Cultural Revolution as History, and Empire to Nation: Historical Perspectives on the Making of the Modern World; and editor of Lost Chance in China and Remaking the Chinese City.

Golo Mann Lecture
Our New Global Culture: Visions and Divisions
Pico Iyer is one of the most revered and respected travel writers alive today.
Iyer was born in England to Indian parents. His father, an expert on Mahatma Gandhi, taught at the University of California, for twenty years. Iyer lived in California in his childhood but returned to England as a teenager, where he was educated at Eton College and Magdalen College, Oxford, and went on to pursue a globetrotting career as a reporter, essayist, and novelist. Iyer has filed stories from all over the world, including Bhutan, Nepal, Ethiopia, Cuba, Argentina, and North Korea.
Describing himself as "a global village on two legs," Iyer considers himself a citizen of the world. Iyer works as a freelance journalist, and has contributed to publications such as TIME magazine, Harper's Magazine, and The New York Review of Books.
He has published twelve books, including Video Night in Kathmandu: And Other Reports from the Not-so-Far East (1988), Falling off the Map: Some Lonely Places of the World (1993) and The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama (2008). They have been translated into several languages and published in Europe, Asia, South America, and North America. His latest work, published last year, is The Man Within My Head.
In a TIME article in the leadup to the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Iyer's exhaustive study of South Korea helped lift the veil on the quiet transformation of what many people remembered as an impoverished third-world country into the world's eleventh largest economy. Iyer sees himself more as an international traveller than an Indian writer. Currently he lives and works much of the year in Japan.
Pico Iyer's visit to Claremont McKenna College is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.
Yvor Winters' Wild West: Adventures in Poetry
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m. PARENTS DINING ROOM
Kenneth Fields is a poet and critic whose most recent book of poems, Classic Rough News, is available from the University of Chicago Press. He is Professor of English at Stanford and has for many years taught young writers about the art of poetry. Other students he has taught about the history of English poetry, of American film and popular music. He is justly well-known on campus as a master-teacher and story-teller too. Long ago he studied American literature there with Yvor Winters (1900-1967) and edited an anthology on the history of the lyric with the teacher who was in all senses Fields's mentor. Winters was an extraordinary literary critic whose judgments were nothing if not sharp and direct. Fields, his last student, is a critic of catholic tastes and a reader of expansive sympathy.
Winters was also an important poet of the mid-twentieth century. Two of his most famous poems, "The Slow Pacific Swell" and "On a View of Pasadena from the Hills," recall his family home in La Crescenta, about 25 miles west of the CMC campus. Kenneth Fields comes to CMC to speak about Winters in Southern California. This talk is part of a series of talks on California writers sponsored by the Literature Department and the Gould Center.
The Literary Genius of Anne Frank
"What is it about Anne Frank and her novel-like diary that has given this deceptively simple work such a long and spectacular afterlife? Why and how, against all odds, did a young girl's chatty, innocent, prodigiously well-crafted book become an integral part of our culture, our history, our souls, and our civilization?"
These are the questions that Francine Prose answers in Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife, her powerful exploration of the life of Anne Frank and the phenomenon that is The Diary of Anne Frank.
Francine Prose is the author of numerous novels, including My New American Life (HarperCollins, 2011); Goldengrove (2008), a profoundly moving novel about a young girl plunged into adult grief and obsession after the drowning death of her sister; A Changed Man (2005), for which she won the first Dayton Literary Peace Prize in fiction; and Blue Angel (2000), which was a finalist for the 2000 National Book Award.
Prose's nonfiction books include, Reading Like A Writer (2006), a New York Times bestseller; The Lives of the Muses: Nine Women & the Artists They Inspired, a national bestseller; and; Gluttony, a meditation on a deadly sin. Her stories, reviews and essays have appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, Best American Short Stories, The New Yorker, The New York Times, The New York Observer, Art News, The Yale Review, The New Republic, and numerous other publications.
In 2010, Prose was awarded the prestigious Washington University International Humanities Medal.

How to Solve the Israel-Palestine Conflict
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Norman G. Finkelstein, an academic, writer, and lecturer, received his doctorate in 1988 from the Department of Politics at Princeton University. For many years he taught political theory and the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Beginning with his thesis at Princeton, Finkelstein's career has been marked by controversy. A self-described "forensic scholar", he has written sharply critical academic reviews of several prominent writers and scholars whom he accuses of misrepresenting the documentary record in order to defend Israel's policies and practices. His writings, noted for their support of the Palestinian cause, have dealt with politically charged topics such as Zionism and the demographic history of Palestine.
Discussing Finkelstein's book Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History (2008), Israeli Historian Avi Shlaim stated that Finkelstein's critique of Israel "is based on an amazing amount of research. He seems to have read everything. He has gone through the reports of Israeli groups, of human rights groups, Human Rights Watch and Peace Now and B'Tselem, all of the reports of Amnesty International. And he deploys all this evidence from Israeli and other sources in order to sustain his critique of Israeli practices."
Finkelstein is the author of eight books that have been translated into 50 foreign editions, including: Knowing Too Much: Why the American Jewish Romance with Israel Is Coming to an End (OR Books: 2012); This Time We Went Too Far: Truth and Consequences of the Gaza Invasion (OR Books, 2010); and The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering (Verso, 2000).
He is currently working on a new book with Palestinian political analyst Mouin Rabbani, entitled How to Solve the Israel-Palestine Conflict.

Leadership Out Front and Behind the Scenes
As the first contemporary woman to head both a major women's college (Wellesley) and a great research university (Duke), Nan Keohane is a major force in changing the perception about women's capabilities to lead major institutions of higher learning.
Educated at Wellesley (B.A., 1961, Durant Scholar), Oxford University (St. Anne's College, 1963, Philosophy, Politics and Economics - First Class Honours) and Yale University (Ph.D., Political Science, 1967 - Sterling Fellow), Keohane served on the faculties of the University of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore College and Stanford University.
She has published the Renaissance to the Enlightenment (1980) and Higher Ground: Ethics and Leadership in the Modern University (2006), as well as essays on feminism, the history of political thought and higher education.
She became president and professor of political science at Wellesley in 1981, and led the largest fundraising drive in the history of American private colleges, overturning conventional wisdom that women would not become heavily involved in a major philanthropic effort and were not supportive of higher education. Also during Keohane's tenure at Wellesley, she implemented an improved affirmative action program and increased both minority student enrollment and faculty hiring. She became President and Professor of Political Science at Duke University in 1993, where she championed increased faculty diversity and promotes the hiring and advancement of women faculty. She is currently the Laurance S. Rockefeller Distinguished Visiting Professor of Public Affairs at Princeton University.
As a political theorist, her major teaching and research interests are in leadership and inequality, with a particular emphasis on gender issues and the role of institutions, law and public policy in creating (or obstructing) opportunities for women around the world.
Keohane has been active in the field of political science, holding various positions in the American Political Science Association and serving as an editor of its journal. She serves on the Trilateral Commission, the Council of Foreign Relations, and on the boards of directors of IBM, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Director's Advisory Committee of the National Institutes of Health. She is also a member of the Harvard Corporation, and chairs the Board of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
She is a powerful contemporary role model for women, a trailblazer who has performed with excellence and who has shattered centuries of prejudice about women's capabilities in academe.
Private Anti-Piracy Navies: How Warships for Hire will Change Maritime Security
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
After a romanticized heyday in the 17th and 18th centuries, maritime piracy was believed to be largely eradicated. Now, it's back. Since 2008, there has been a dramatic surge in pirate attacks, largely by pirates from the lawless nation of Somalia on the Horn of Africa. Heavily-armed Somali pirates now threaten a vast area of the Indian Ocean, including some of the most vital trade routes on the globe. They have hijacked ships, taken seamen hostage, and caused billions of dollars of economic disruption per year. The world's navies have attempted to suppress piracy, but are unable to secure the entire danger zone. So shipowners have hired private security companies to protect them. Some of these companies now operate their own armed escort vessels. The use of these so-called "private navies" entails legal, tactical, and logistical challenges which have yet to be resolved.
In this talk, John-Clark Levin '12 and Professor John J. Pitney, Jr. will discuss how their book seeks to help policymakers address those challenges. They will also share the inside story of how this book grew out of research Levin started while still a CMC student, and how current students can take their own research to the next level.
Professor John J. Pitney, Jr. is the Crocker Professor of Politics at Claremont McKenna College. Two-time winner of the Glenn R. Huntoon Teaching Award, he teaches one of CMC's most popular courses, the congress simulation. Pitney has written extensively on California politics, as well as the U.S. Congress and electoral politics. He is frequently quoted in the national media. One of his current research interests is the politics of autism.
John-Clark Levin graduated CMC in 2012, majoring in PPE and Linguistics. He was the recipient of the 2010-2011 Arthur R. Adams Fellowship in International and Strategic Studies at the Keck Center. His research for this fellowship focused on private maritime security companies being deployed to fight against Somali pirates, and later grew into the book Private Anti-Piracy Navies (2013). John-Clark also writes periodically for the Wall Street Journal and other publications. Recently, he appeared as a contestant on Jeopardy!, a link he now shares with Professor Pitney, who was on the show in the 1990s.
The Psychological Science Behind Hyperpartisanship and What to Do About It
Diane F. Halpern is the McElwee Family Professor of Psychology and George R. Roberts Fellow at Claremont McKenna College. She is also a past president of the American Psychological Association.
Professor Halpern has published hundreds of articles and many books including, Thought and Knowledge: An Introduction to Critical Thinking (Fifth Ed., 2014); Sex Differences in Cognitive Abilities (Fourth Ed.), and Women at the Top: Powerful Leaders Tell Us How to Combine Work and Family (co-authored with Fanny Cheung). Her recent books include Psychological Science (Fourth Ed. with Michael Gazzaniga and Todd Heatherton) and the edited book, Undergraduate Education in Psychology: A Blueprint for the Future of the Discipline.
Recently, Professor Halpern was awarded the 2013 James McKeen Cattell Award from the Association for Psychological Science (the highest award given by this organization) and the 2013 Arthur W. Staats Award from the American Psychological Association.
During her presentation, Professor Halpern will discuss evidence showing that the government is broken. Negativity toward Congress is at an all-time high with hyperpartisanship as the new bigotry in the United States. She will use the lens of psychological science to view the problem and to suggest corrective actions that can be taken to reduce it.

Counterinsurgency on the Double Double: The Canadian Campaign in Kandahar
While America grows weary of the War in Afghanistan, we often forget about the involvement of other Western powers in the conflict. David Charters, Ph.D., a Professor of Military History and Senior Fellow of the Gregg Centre at the University of New Brunswick, will provide insight into Canada's involvement into prolonged combat. He is an authority on insurgency, counter-insurgency and international terrorism.
Dr. Charters co-authored Kandahar Tour: The Turning Point In Canada's Afghan Mission. The book tells the story of Task Force 1-07 — from its training for war and peace-building in Canada to its efforts in the frontlines of the struggle to rebuild a shattered society and restore hope in a land where there was little.
Waving together the complex threads of Canada's effort in Kandahar was made possible through open access to Department of National defense and Canadian International Development Agency documents, and remarkably candid interviews with diplomats, aid workers, Mounties and solders of all ranks. Kandahar Tour's story is not finished; it will continue to unfold. Nevertheless, in the aftermath of Operation Medusa, the first half of 2007 marked Kandahar's turning point as all aspects of Canada's missions encompassing diplomacy, aid, reconstruction, and mentoring.
David Charters holds his doctorate from the University of London. He is also and author of The Chequered Past: Sports Car Racing and Rallying in Canada, 1951-1991 (2007), and of The British Army and Jewish Insurgency in Palestine 1945-47 (1989).
Charters served for twenty years as Director of UNB's Centre for Conflict Studies, and is currently a Senior Fellow of its successor, The Gregg Centre for the Study of War and Society, and is Editor of its Journal of Conflict Studies. Since 2005 he has been a full member of the Department of History. Dr. Charters is currently the Department of History's Director of Majors. From 2008 to 2010 Dr. Charters served as President of the Canadian Association for Security and Intelligence Studies, and from 2005 to 2008 as a member of the Advisory Council on National Security.
When the State Speaks, What Should It Say? How Democracies Can Protect Expression and Promote Equality
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Corey Brettschneider, a Pomona College alumnus and professor of political science at Brown University, argues that ideal democracy is comprised of three core values - political autonomy, equality of interests, and reciprocity - with both procedural and substantive implications. These values entitle citizens not only to procedural rights of participation (e.g., electing representatives) but also to substantive rights that a "pure procedural" democracy might not protect. What are often seen as distinctly liberal substantive rights to privacy, property, and welfare can, then, be understood within what Brettschneider terms a "value theory of democracy." Drawing on the work of John Rawls and deliberative democrats such as Jürgen Habermas, he demonstrates that such rights are essential components of - rather than constraints on - an ideal democracy. Thus, while defenders of the democratic ideal rightly seek the power of all to participate, they should also demand the rights that are the substance of self-government.
At Brown, Brettschnieder teaches courses in political theory and public law. He is also professor, by courtesy, of philosophy. Brettschneider was a Rockefeller faculty fellow at the Princeton University Center for Human Values for the 2010-2011 academic year, a visiting associate professor at Harvard Law School for the 2009 winter term, and a faculty fellow at Harvard's Safra Center for Ethics for the 2006-2007 academic year. Brettschneider received a Ph.D. in politics from Princeton University and a JD from Stanford University. He is the author of When the State Speaks, What Should it Say? How Democracies Can Protect Expression and Promote Equality (Princeton University Press, 2012) and Democratic Rights: The Substance of Self-Government (Princeton University Press, 2007).
Brettschneider is also the author of a casebook, Constitutional Law and American Democracy: Cases and Readings (Aspen Publishers/Wolters Kluwer Law and Business, 2011). His articles include "A Transformative Theory of Religious Freedom," in Political Theory (2010), "When the State Speaks, What Should it Say? Democratic Persuasion and the Freedom of Expression," in Perspectives on Politics (2010), and "The Politics of the Personal: A Liberal Approach," in the American Political Science Review (2007).
Politics, History, and Truth: The Armenian Genocide
April 24th marks the 98th commemoration year of the Armenian Genocide. After almost 100 years, why are these events still so controversial? Filmmaker Dr. Carla Garapedian looks at the intersection between history and politics in what is often called the "first genocide of the twentieth century."
The only American ever to anchor the famous BBC World News, Carla Garapedian earned her Ph.D. in international relations at the prestigious London School of Economics, before cutting her teeth as a correspondent for NBC and later being swept up by the BBC as a director and anchor.
Since leaving the BBC (where, among other stories, she exposed major faults in Europe's most dangerous nuclear reactors), she has cut a swath as an international documentary director, working for Hardcash Productions, the company that produced the Emmy award-winning film about women in Afghanistan, "Beneath the Veil." Her sequel, "Lifting the Veil," premiered in the US on the Sundance Channel in August 2003. In her film "Dying for the President" she made world headlines by sneaking into Chechnya to document Russian war crimes. More recent headlines surrounded her 2005 film, "My Friend the Mercenary" about the attempted coup in Equatorial Guinea, linked to Mark Thatcher and the notorious mercenary, Simon Mann.
Garapedian beat President Bush to the punch in exploring that other "axis of evil," North Korea, in the acclaimed documentary "Children of the Secret State" that details starvation, human rights abuses and cannibalism in that impoverished nation. In 2005, her film "Iran Undercover," about the student movement in Iran, won the prestigious Edward R. Murrow award, as part of the PBS Frontline World series.
In addition to anchoring for BBC World News, Garapedian has been a correspondent for NBC Sunrise, NBC Nightly News and CNBC financial news. She narrated the Armenian genocide film, "Voices from the Lake" by the acclaimed filmmaker, J.M. Hagopian, as well as co-writing his award-winning film "Germany and the Secret Genocide."
The headline about her in the LA Times Calendar section is probably the best description of her work so far - "Documenting Truth in Dangerous Places."
McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics
Explaining CEO Pay
Kevin J. Murphy is the Kenneth L. Trefftzs Chair in Finance at the USC Marshall School of Business, a Professor of Law at the USC Gould School of Law and Professor of Economics at USC's College of Letters, Arts & Science. He is member of the American Economic Association and associate editor for the Journal of Financial Economics and Journal of Corporate Finance.
Few issues in the history of the modern corporation have attracted the international attention garnered by what the largest corporations pay their top executives. Fueled by disclosure requirements, and human curiosity and envy, analyzing and criticizing CEO pay has been a popular sport among business pundits for decades. Currently, however, we are in the midst of a reexamination of CEO pay that has more than the usual amount of energy and more than the usual amount of substance. While some observers believe that the trends in the level and structure of CEO pay reflect an increasingly competitive labor market for managerial talent, others contend that the trends reflect powerful and greedy CEOs extracting high levels of compensation from complacent (and friendly) boards of directors. In his Athenaeum talk, Kevin Murphy will explore the underlying causes of the trends in CEO pay, concluding that many trends are best explained not by efficient contracting or managerial power, but rather as unintended consequences from failed government attempts to reign in perceived pay "excesses." More broadly, Murphy argues that any attempt to explain CEO pay is incomplete without an understanding of the role of politics in constraining and influencing contracts written between executives and shareholders.
Professor Murphy is a nationally known expert on executive compensation, and is the author of more than forty articles, cases, books, or book chapters relating to compensation and incentives in organizations. He helped the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission formulate disclosure rules for top management pay. His study examining the salary trends of top executives, published in 2000, set a benchmark in finance research. He has provided commentary on corporate pay reform to The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Boston Globe, among other media.
He appeared before a Congressional oversight panel hearing on 2010 to assess the effectiveness of executive compensation restrictions for companies that received TARP funds. Murphy previously appeared before the House Financial Services Committee in June 2009 to discuss executive compensation, his field of expertise.
Murphy received his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Chicago in 1984 and his BA, summa cum laude, from UCLA in 1979. From 2004 to 2007, he served as Vice Dean for Faculty and Academic Affairs at the Marshall School. Before joining USC, Professor Murphy was on the faculty of the University of Rochester and Harvard Business School.
Kevin Murphy will deliver the annual McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics, which is also the occasion for presenting awards to outstanding students in economics.

Overview: Dan Auerbach and the Black Keys score three wins ... Skrillex sweeps in dance categories again ... Jay-Z & Kanye West nab two ... Halestorm pulls off a metal upset ... Ravi Shankar honored posthumously ... Little Big Town finally gets its first ... other winners: Bonnie Raitt, Jimmy Cliff, Jimmy Fallon, Drake, Paul McCartney, Trent Reznor, Gotye, Dr. John, Beyoncé, Usher, the Civil Wars.
The main show at Staples Center doesn't start until 5 p.m. and doesn't air on the West Coast for three hours after that. But the majority of trophies – 70 in all – are being handed out across the street at Nokia Theatre during the Grammy Awards pre-telecast ceremony, streaming live and hosted by David Alan Grier.
R&B newcomer Frank Ocean, one of several artists entering these festivities with six nominations, lost his first right away when best short-form video went not to his collaboration with Kanye West & Jay-Z ("No Church in the Wild") but to Rihanna's jam with Calvin Harris, "We Found Love." It's Ri-Ri's fifth win overall.
Mumford & Sons are also up for six prizes – and won their first almost immediately, when the Emmett Malloy-directed documentary Big Easy Express nabbed best long-form video. It also marks first-ever wins for the other bands in that film, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros and Old Crow Medicine Show.
Astonishingly, Brian Wilson won only his second Grammy, and again it was SMiLE-related. In 2005 the Beach Boys legend won his first, taking best rock instrumental performance for "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow." This time, last year's lavish SMiLE Sessions package was named best historical album.
"Van Dyke Parks (with whom he wrote the song cycle) knew we were ahead of our time in 1965," Wilson said. The Beach Boys have never won a competitive Grammy.
After four nominations, Billy Vera, of "At This Moment" fame, won his first Grammy for best album notes, for the Ray Charles package Singular Genius: The Complete ABC Singles.
Jazz great Chick Corea won his 19th Grammy for "Mozart Goes Dancing," for best instrumental composition. His tally likely will surpass 20 soon. Also, the late Gil Evans was awarded best instrumental arrangement for his unearthed 1947 piece "How About You." And Grammy darling Esperanza Spalding picked up another statuette, this time for best instrumental arrangment with vocals, for "City of Roses."
Björk's Biophilia was named best recording package over choices from Dirty Projectors, Alabama Shakes, Aimee Mann and David Byrne & St. Vincent. Meanwhile, all rock choices for best boxed or special limited edition package (Paul McCartney, Trent Reznor, Ben Kweller, the Rolling Stones) lost to the trove Woody at 100: The Woody Guthrie Centennial Collection.
Electronic dance music (or EDM) star Skrillex, who won three Grammys last year, picked up the first of what could be three more this year. His reworking of "Promises" with Nero was named best remixed recording, non-classical.
It's rare for there to be ties in these face-offs, yet that was the case for best contemporary Christian song, which was shared between Matt Redman's "10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord) and Israel & New Breed's "Your Presence Is Heaven."
In Latin music, Juanes has won for best Latin pop album, for MTV Unplugged Deluxe Edition. It's his first win in that category since 2008, when La Vida ... Es Un Ratico was chosen. Also, Quetzal's Imaginaries nabbed the trophy for best Latin rock, urban or alternative album, and Lila Downs' Pecados y Milagros was chosen as best regional Mexican music album.

Jimmy Cliff's Rebirth album, a sparkling collaboration with Rancid's Tim Armstrong, earned the legendary performer his first win for best reggae album since 1985, when Cliff Hanger took home the prize.
Another Jimmy, Saturday Night Live alumnus and Late Night host Jimmy Fallon, garnered his first Grammy, his Blow Your Pants Off nabbing best comedy album.
That makes Kathy Griffin a five-times-in-a-row loser, and continues the trend of women rarely winning this award. The last one to do so was Whoopi Goldberg in 1986 for her eponymous Broaway show. Prior to that, Lily Tomlin won in 1972 for This Is a Recording and Elaine May shared it a decade before that with her then-partner in laughs, Mike Nichols.

My cousin, David Briddell, and Dr. Clara Small just finished and published the wonderful 300+ page book, "Men of Color, To Arms!". This book details manumitted slaves and freed blacks from the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland (Worcester and Somerset Counties) who served in the Civil War. This compilation is truly a gem, and represents years of research by the authors. I love to see and promote books like this.
Numerous primary sources were utilized including Maryland Adjutant General's records, U.S. Treasury Bounty Rolls, land, probate and court records, U.S. Colored Troops slave rolls and oral history interviews. There are newspaper recruitment ads in the book, maps, photographs and articles on relevant topics such as Selling Slaves in Princess Anne, MD. Many times, for former slaves, the name of the former owner is revealed within the records.
David Briddell and I met online, right at the beginning of my genealogy journey many years ago. We soon discovered that his gg- grandmother Harriett Waters and my ggg-grandfather Daniel Waters were siblings. We have kept in contact ever since. I do hope those researching in these areas will pick it up….you will not be disappointed! I hope some of us continue this tradition and publish more records for and about African-Americans.
If interested, you can purchase this book from Arcadia Publishers.

Recent version of Ant have included a mechanism called Antlibs. These allow you to define your own custom tasks, group them together with the appropriate definitions needed by Ant and use them in your Ant environment without nameclashes. Nameclashes are avoided by using namespaces. Numerous Antlibs are now available from both Apache (the developers of Ant) and other sources. Using these libraries with Groovy is fairly easy - though you have to be careful with some of the details.
The AntUnit antlib includes predefined <assert> tasks corresponding to the most common kind of checks you want to do within your build files. They are using thoughout the Ant codebase to test many of the ant tasks but you can use these assertions in your own build files (or any Groovy code) too.
Here is an example the uses the
assertFileDoesntExist and
assertFileExists checks.
First, we'll consider the traditional way of incorporating this antlib, by using namespaces:
Notice that the antunit assertions all exist within their own namespace. That's OK for now, Groovy allows special symbols in method names so long as you include the method name in quotes.
We can also incorporate the antlib directly into the default namespace as follows:
This makes our code look simpler for this example but be careful with this approach though as you need to avoid name clashes. You might find it easier to define helper methods to hide away the cumbersome namespace notation as shown below. First a helper class:
Now our code becomes:
Maven Ant Tasks
Another useful antlib is the Maven Ant Tasks. They allow you to use Maven's artifact handling features from within Ant including:
- Dependency management - including transitive dependencies, scope recognition and SNAPSHOT handling
- Artifact deployment - file and SSH based deployment to a Maven repository
- POM processing - for reading a Maven 2.0.x pom.xml file
Here is how you could use these tasks to download some required jars into your local maven repository cache (
~/.m2 directory).
We can take this example further and show how to create the JFreeChart example from Plotting graphs with JFreeChart without having the JFreeChart jars statically defined in our classpath.
First another helper class:
Now, here is the code we require to dynamically download the JFreeChart jars and add them to our classpath then run the script:
Ivy Tasks
We can also download jars using Ivy. In this case we use
MarkupBuilder to build an XML file that the Ivy
retrieve task will use:
When run, this results in the files being downloaded:

unsmoked:"On the subject of women as chattels of their husbands, here's
an interesting quote, at least closer to the topic than forgiveness:
"The difference between freethought prohibitionists and Christian prohibitionists was that the freethinkers wanted to make drunkenness grounds for divorce - and to make it possible for a woman to leave a violent husband without incurring social stigma - whereas the Christians, while viewing drunkenness as a vice, did not consider either drinking or violent abuse grounds for leaving a marriage."
("Freethinkers were as divided in their views on temperance as on many other political issues.")
Quoted from 'FREETHINKERS - A History of American Secularism' by Susan Jacoby"
First let me say, I really wish someone would smoke you so you wouldn't have to remain unsmoked.
Great book, aye? Read that one awhile back meself.
You have to admit though, even then, the freethinkers were more on target in their attempts to aid women in their plight toward equality and ability to rid themselves of a controlling, violent male.
Too bad more men in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth century, and I dare say twentieth century, weren't more like the Charles Ingalls character in "Little House on the Prairie," that way the freethinkers wouldn't have had to come up with escape routes for these otherwise trapped women.

Denton named head coach
March 25, 2009
Misenheimer, NC Director of Athletics Bobby Stewart announces Elijah Denton has been named head coach for Pfeiffer womens soccer. I am extremely excited to have Elijah at the helm of our womens soccer program, said Stewart. He was integral in leading our players to a Conference Carolinas tournament title and appearance in the NCAA regional tournament this past season and I am fully confident we will see further success with Elijah directing the program.
"I am very excited to take over as the head coach of such a successful program as the one that exists here at Pfeiffer University, said Denton. I want to thank Dr. Ambrose and Bobby Stewart for allowing me to continue to be part of such a wonderful community and for giving me the opportunity to continue to build on the success that the student-athletes have experienced on and off the field."
In 2001, Elijah received his Bachelors of Science at UNC Greensboro in Applied Mathematics.

Woop! TYBG!!
Welcome back DavisJim Eichenhofer@Jim_Eichenhofer
Anthony Davis will play tonight, according to Monty. Davis will come off bench
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
Wow im actually excited about the game now.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
YES! Just what I was hoping for, 15-20 minutes backing up Anderson most likely.
Hopefully Friday we will see that same post with Eric Gordon's name.
I get to see AD play for the first time since injury + will get to watch full game on local TV since I live in the DC metro area. I would just go to the game since the tickets are dirt cheap but....its cold, there's so much traffic going in to DC after work and well..... I'm just lazy....lol.
Man....I don't know what made me think it was in DC tonight. My bad. Well I'll still get it on local TV tho instead of having to catch a link.
The first game I attend this year, AD comes back. Man, do I feel lucky

"Every fight is a food fight when you're a cannibal."- Demetri Martin
I could be wrong, but I'm thinking the monitoring is partially based on how he feel in game and partially based on giving him enough of a test tonight to see if there is pain tomorrow. If there is pain tomorrow, then he needs more rest. So, there is some benefit to easing him back, starting or now.
It'll all be based on his feeling and a plan by the staff, I think.
I'm glad to see this all taking place within 3 weeks. If this works out, then Davis and staff did a great job of catching this and reacting.
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
Current team + another top 5 pick = much potential.
And I hope every hater has apologised about Lopez this season.
Has smashed any expectations of his play so far and I hope it continues.
I was hating on him before, but I am pretty sure I came out and said how impressed I've been with him. He's been a valuable defensive asset to this team!
