It was NOT Russia who began a Donbass war.
Yes, it was Russia. The war in Eastern Ukraine was started by a Mr. Igor Girkin, a Russian, allegedly ex-military, a war criminal from the Yugoslavia wars, who also participated in several of Russia's armed conflicts (Chechnya, Georgia, etc.), and who entered into Ukraine across a Russian border, on orders from Russia.
He had done the same thing just two months before that, in Crimea. The only difference between his first and second marches was the changed attitude of the international community, which made Putin reconsider and change his plans.
Along with him came a group of Russian soldiers and officers, allegedly 'on leave' and a lot of serious firepower: large guns, tanks, armored vehicles. The Russian regime has tried to deny this, but the evidence that a huge amount of Russian military equipment and military are pouring through the border is overwhelming, the confessions of Girkin notwithstanding.
Girkin's activities in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine were financed with Russian money, partly by a Mr. Malofeev, a Russian oligarch with ties to the regime, who got his initial capital from state banks.
Mr. Girkin himself addressed your theory about this non-existing local Russian movement long ago. Here are the relevant quotes from his interview in the Zavtra newspaper:
Q: What about the phases of war: A: At first, nobody [neither Ukraine's armed forces nor the separatists] wanted to fight. The first weeks went with the two sides talking to each other, trying to get the other side to change views. In Slovyansk, the separatists and the army were very careful using arms... The Ukrainian army wasn't eager to fight at all.
Q: Your role wasn't only military, you were the source of ideas for establishing a government, right? A: At the time, I understood well that the [regions of] Donetsk and Lohansk can't fight on their own. We went in with the understanding that the Crimea situation will be repeated, and the Russian army will enter [openly]... My task there was not to take the power, my task was to guard the [separatist] republic
Still, it was me who squeezed the trigger of war. If our team hasn't crossed the border [to go into Ukraine], it would have ended like it did in Kharkiv or Odessa, a few people shot, burned or imprisoned. It would have stopped there. The pendulum of war, which is still going was released by us.
Comment: Re:They don't have the funds for that also that pa (Score 1) 226
in these cases it is less about due process and rule of law and more about a shift in power between rival factions
Not quite, there is a nuance, at least on some levels.
In China, corruption scandals are a tool of power redistribution, because China still has a collective system of government and public opinion matters, albeit not quite like it does in the West. Hence, a systematic corruption fighter is a nuisance, but not an enemy of the state by definition, at least on the face of it.
In Russia, things have gone the other way, towards a very authoritarian regime where the system is based on shameless corruption, by design. Speaking against corruption there is speaking against the system and hence a crime against the 'stability', the Motherland and the 'Russian world', all synthesized in the image of the all-powerful, America-crushing superhero Putin, who provides 'order' and helps the country to 'rise from its knees', where it was put by its eternal enemies -- the evil jews and the Americans -- in the early 90s.
Therefore the institutions of the state (and sources of corruption), the state media and the 'public' opinion are always by definition against the corruption fighter. The latter isn't the occasionally useful nuisance, but an outright enemy that has to be destroyed. Of course, as an enemy, he/she's also in league with the 'foreign enemies' and is on their payroll and so a traitor.
Hence the GP's comment about not wanting a 'revolution' -- the fight against the state of corruption is presented (and apparently perceived by many) as a threat to the government and the order, and this line of thinking has gained a significant traction in Russia, at least on the surface.
We'll see how it will survive the economic hardships that Russia unleashed on itself starting the war in Ukraine.

Why we ever moved from pocket watches to wrist watches is a mystery to me.
Apparently, they were needed by pilots in the early era of flight. They needed to keep track of time, and at the same time they had to control the aircraft, which, at the time, was a hard physical work. So, wrist watches became a necessity, then cool, then a fashion item.

Just remember, it's still in it's early stages, so there's a couple of bugs. Sparrow displaying for one. The red paint you see as well from the original sparrow carcols (I don't remember there ever being a red)

love it! is it only gonna be on the 04 Delorean tho?
|Aug 21 2007, 10:35pm Anchor
That looks awesome, so smooth but I'd need to try the controls first, before I judge it.
|Aug 21 2007, 10:39pm Anchor
no, i'm updating the other one of well. Because of the sea sparrow...the 04 might get a gun
Controls are the same as the helicopter. Only control added was the forward gas, which is handbrake in this case. A bit hard to get use to, especially since when using it, you need to roll AND yaw, and to turn, and pitch to keep it from falling. Well, you can turn with pitch and roll too actually.
|Aug 21 2007, 10:44pm Anchor
Alright! it's a lot more realistic than this 0.2c hovering mode in every way, anyway. i had no problem at all controlling regular helicopters. looking forward to try it.
|Aug 21 2007, 10:52pm Anchor
should be less buggy then the current system. Most notably...the disappearing car/ped syndrome.
|Aug 21 2007, 10:56pm Anchor
yeah... seriously, that's something i hadn't really pay attention to when i was playing, but it's a darn good reason too. When getting in a helicopter, there's always a 3 seconds or so we have to wait for the rotor to start, is that still gonna be or we can skip that to directly take off?
|Aug 21 2007, 11:01pm Anchor
well, i found it, if hit the handbrake to go forward, it skips the start up rotor.

so can u give me this now just to try it on a slower computer

will the new delorean/chopper have the right noises or the helicopter and the right shadow?
|Aug 22 2007, 1:00pm Anchor
the reason i wanted to try it on a slower computer is because my friends play this mod and they also have slow computers, just trying to test it out on a lower com because some peoples parents wont get it upgraded
|Aug 22 2007, 8:20pm Anchor
Don't worry about it. I'll just make it so slow computers are able to get up to say 95 to 100 mph, but that means fast computers can go even faster. Haha, thats funny how the speed of the delorean depends on your computer.

Is the train's hover conversion getting an overhaul as well? There's not alot of choppers to use but only one is really needed, for the re-entry to 1985 scene. Which brings two questions to mind, can you mod the helicopter to have a light to shine on the clocktower, and will Hill Valley have a helicopter that one can hijack...borrow?
|Aug 24 2007, 12:12am Anchor
I posted earlier about something wrong with my controls, i couldn't rise up in hover mode, i went to the menu but couldn't figure out how to get it back up, what controls do you change to fix this?

A New Kind of Credit Card Fraud
By David Dorf-Oracle on Jan 30, 2015
Fraud analysts at credit card issuers (banks) pour though transactions looking for credit card fraud. Patterns in this data are what usually lead investigators to find breaches. Find a bunch of transactions involving stolen numbers, then work backwards to find the commonality and you've got your breach. But there are lots of additional patterns in that data as well.
Two enterprising fraud analysts at Capital One decided to look at purchase patterns for public retailers, then use that information to place bets in the stock market. Why not, right? All of Capital One's credit card transactions are sitting in the database for them query. As you can see in the heavily redacted SQL query below, it took some serious analytical skills.
For example, they compared this quarter's volume of Chipotle transactions to last quarter's and seeing that sales were strong decided to buy call options just before the earnings announcement. Earnings were good so the stock went up, and their $100,000 investment netted $270,000 in profits -- for basically three days work.
Over three years, they made around $2.8M which worked out to about a 1819% return on their investment. Of course this is considered insider trading and they were eventually arrested. So the guys that were looking for credit card fraud were actually committing a different kind of fraud. There's gold to be mined in that data. See the complete story over at Bloomberg View.

Q. "What are check valves?"
A.Check valves prevent the back flow and cross flow of water. With a check valve water can only flow one direction. Check valves are recommended to prevent by-pass when a Thermixer is installed with a downstream shut-off device.
Q. "What are screwdriver stops?"
A.With stops, it means the valve has shut-offs for the water line so you don't have to shut off water to the entire house to work/repair parts on the shower/tub system.

Like laser eye surgery and brake repairs, raw fish is something we're loath to cheap out on. Rather than risk gastric distress—or merely off-tasting nigiri—we get our budget-sushi fix at the Back Bay's Douzo, where the ambiance is polished and the sashimi as glistening-fresh as it is at the astronomically pricey joints. Ample space at the bar means it's a cinch to belly up for a quick lunch, while the scores of tables means there's no silly reservation policy standing between you and your maki.

Deadpool Killustrated #1 [Marvel Comics] Review
Posted on January 23, 2013 AT 08:32pm
Cullen Bunn has returned with a brand new story starring Deadpool. After tackling the Merc With A Mouth in his last series, Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe, Bunn brings forth the second wave of homicidal justice in this series which instead of seeing Deadpool kill all the fan favorite heroes of the universe (and the alternate universes that also exist), shows him moving through space and time killing the characters of classic literature. It's this type of premise that brings forth the thought of "Another Deadpool book? Why?" but also keeps hardcore fans interested, at least until they start reading it.
To be clear: the first issue of this limited (four issue) series did not get off on the wrong foot. Whether that be the premise, the writing, or some combination of the two is unclear, but this is not a great entry into the Deadpool canon. After killing every hero of his universe (and of dozens of other universes), a task he deemed necessary after finding out he lived in a fictional world dictated by people who wrote himself and everyone else he knows into existence, Deadpool realizes that for every hero he kills, another will take their place. To remedy this, he goes after the characters that inspired the creation of the heroes he deemed fit to be slaughtered. That thought leads him to jump into the tales of Don Quixote and Moby Dick, and the premise for the follow-up book is as confusing as it is unnecessary. The series, and the character as a whole, suffer for it.
The first limited series, Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe, was a fun premise that eventually got really old, crippled by a faulty plot line full of violence and gore without much substance. Killustrated does just that, adding into it the fact that it's been done before, and that the "meta" existence of Deadpool is taken to an extreme degree that loses the silliness that it carried in the earlier runs of his solo series. Creating this murderous, but dull, Deadpool makes a mockery out of the character himself to the point that being this self-aware is a confounding and ridiculous idea, even for Deadpool, whose entire existence borders on being ridiculous.
Writer Cullen Bunn isn't a bad writer, in fact he's a very capable and talent member of the Marvel writing stable. However, if this issue and the previous mini-series are any indication, Deadpool may not be in his wheelhouse. The plot structure and pacing are both done very well, but the premise and story itself are so ridiculously terrible that it may make fans wonder why this series even exists. From the overdone premise to the Daniel Way-esque thought bubbles, this entire series is full of tired references and second-hand ideas. Despite Deadpool being an incredibly popular character that has many stories to tell, this shouldn't be one of them. The first mini-series started off well but then dipped, and if the first issue of this series is any indication, Deadpool Killustrated will do the same, only without it ever being entertaining in the first place.
On the plus side, the artwork by Mateo Lolli, Sean Parsons and Veronica Gandini is very well done. The lines are crisp and the figures are well-drawn and detailed, with an (ironic) lighter look as opposed to previous entries in the Deadpool canon, but nonetheless the artwork is the finest point of this series, though as the above has stated, there isn't much else to like about this series.
Summary: This is not a great entry into the Marvel universe, and the graphic content warning on the front cover does nothing but bring a fleeting glimpse of something a bit more down Deadpool's alley in terms of language and violence. Both, along with countless other facets such as plot and overall entertainment, fail to live up to expectations, and this follow-up to a series that should have never found shelves has lived up the reputation of sequels to lackluster series: worse the the first to the point of its entire existence being questioned.
The Good: Strong Artwork And Structure
The Bad: Poor Overall Plot And Content
The Ugly: Terrible Premise

The study notes, and quality of this Bible are incredible, but I returned it based entirely upon its size.
If you plan to use this as a family Bible, or a "stays in your study" kind of Bible, then it'd be great. If this is going to be your everyday Bible, I'd look for one without large print, or a large print without study notes.

It is heavy and like almost carrying a city phone book but no complaints, as it is filled with information, charts, maps, pictures and notes. It is like carrying a Bible and Bible Dictionary all in one volume. Suggestions: Darker print (my peeve with NIV Bibles) and a longer Concordance. The NIV has kept the Masoretic Text for the OT which I prefer. But I still wish they kept the Received Text in the New Testament at least as a standard along with the text they used. Recommended with aforementioned suggestions and a KJV or equivalent handy.

A couple growing the delicate Muga silk in Assam has put up a valiant and ingenious fight to safeguard its livelihood against unpredictable weather conditions..
Ratna Bharali Talukdar
Konika Rabha, 35, and her husband, Pankaj, 42, made a decision recently. This couple which grows the traditional 'Muga' (Antheraea Assama) silk in Batakuchi village — in the Boko Revenue Circle of Assam's largely rural Kamrup district — resolved to no longer silently suffer the negative impact of climate change on their livelihood.
The vagaries of the weather, especially unpredictable rain patterns and persistent drought, had damaged their Muga cocoon production last year. So the duo decided to experiment with Muga seed (silkworm eggs) production. They travelled to remote and inaccessible areas in the Garo Hills along the Assam-Meghalaya border to collect wild, healthy seed-cocoons for mating. They hoped that these eggs would produce disease-free silkworms resistant to climate change.
Their gamble paid off. Moreover, the Muga seeds produced experimentally in their private laboratory also brought in a good bit of money. The couple sold around 80 kg of Muga seed at Rs 12,000 a kg, double the market price fixed by the State's Department of Sericulture. Elsewhere, the Muga seeds from authorised producers met with failure despite following the guidelines of the Central Silk Board (CSB).
Wild and disease-free
The couple says its experiment showed that seed-cocoons collected from areas that are serene, isolated and free from human interference produced healthy, sustainable and disease-free seeds. It meant that the wild Muga silkworm requires a natural and pollution-free environment for survival.
Assam has a rich tradition of growing Muga silk, accounting for 90 per cent of its production in India. Of the six Muga production seasons, only two — Katiya (September to November) and Jethua (May to July) — are suited for commercial production. Katiya contributes more than 60 per cent of the total production. The State has over 30,000 families rearing Muga silkworm. Interestingly, women dominate the industry and are involved in activities ranging from rearing of silkworms to the reeling of cocoons, and weaving the traditional Assamese Muga mekhela chador and Muga fabric.
Bumper turnaround
In addition to their seed-supply business, Konika and Pankaj also cultivate Muga over six hectares covered with plantations of Som ( Persea Bombycina), a tree species on which the silkworm feeds. They enjoyed a bumper production of nearly 6 lakh cocoons last Katiya. The rate per thousand cocoons in 2009 was between Rs 1,100 and Rs 1,400.
This couple's success story comes at a time when the entire State has been experiencing a crisis in Muga silk production due to drought and extreme weather. In the previous monsoon, the State received only 73 per cent of the expected rain, and this adversely impacted the wild silkworm that can only be reared outdoors.
The silkworm thrives at temperatures of around 30-35 degrees Celsius and 80-85 per cent humidity. Following last year's drought, only 500 of the 1,500 silk-rearing families in the Boko Revenue Circle were able to produce silk during Katiya, says Dipak Sarma, Extension Officer, Department of Sericulture. Furthermore, many families were forced to opt for sharecropping work owing to the scarcity of the Muga seed which pushed prices up. But even those willing to pay nearly double the new price were unable to find any seeds.
Protecting a sensitive species
Baby and Ranjit Rabha are a young, traditional silk-grower couple with a 1.5 hectare silk farm in the nearby Khatalpara village. The 250 silk-grower families in this village produced only 1,000 cocoons against the projected 20,000 last year.
"This was because of an unknown disease that had spread during the different stages of rearing," explains Baby. "Although we had ensured that all the scientifically prescribed methods were practised while producing the Muga seeds — my husband is a government authorised producer — production was very poor in this village known for its rich tradition of Muga rearing."
The previous year, during the Jethua season, Baby's family had produced 25,000 Muga cocoons. The couple tried, in vain, to keep the plantation areas moist by spraying water during the rearing season.
Baby says the gradual loss in Muga cultivation has compelled a number of families in her village to opt for alternative livelihoods. Meanwhile, they continue to keep their plantations intact in the hope that the good days will return. But that appears uncertain at the moment. The developmental work in the area adjacent to the National Highway 37 has only added to the problem. Boko is now prone to air and noise pollution that adversely affect the highly sensitive wild silkworm.
As Ranjit says, "Muga is the pride of Assam and its demand is growing by the day. If we want to save this silk we must work toward improving the general environment." His words reflect the strong link between local farmers, the silkworm and the increasingly fragile habitat.

From Booklist
Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
"This eloquent and meticulously researched book is a worthwhile addition to the scholarly attempt to explain the intriguing story of African/American Indian relations that permeated all American Indian nations in Oklahoma." --The Oklahoman
"All histories, especially family histories, harbor silences wherein uneasy truths reside. But few such histories--once those silences grow full with stories--speak so directly to the central sorrows in American society, past and present, as that of the Grayson family. Claudio Saunt's sensitive and daring recovery of the Grayson's centuries-long struggle to navigate the perilous racial triangle of Black, white, and Indian is at once irresistible and heartbreaking. It is a work for the ages."--James F. Brooks, author of Confounding the Color Line: The Indian-Black Experience in North America
"Meticulously researched, eloquently written, and full of the pain of slavery, dispossession, racism, and history itself, Black, White, and Indian sits at the leading edge of the exciting body of new work on African/American/Indian relations."-- Philip J. Deloria, University of Michigan
"The intersections between Native American history and the history of race in America are not always clear. Too often fear and fantasy obscure our memory and our vision. This compelling story of human beings struggling to survive and make lives for themselves and their families shines a fascinating light on the many places where red and black and white overlapped, blurred, and made history. This is a very important book."--Frederick E. Hoxie, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Sometimes the most valuable research turns out to be a confirmation of the obvious. Fitting that bill is the study released yesterday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science documenting the substantially decreased life expectancy among people in China living in areas where coal has for many decades been used to heat homes. The study is based on a long-standing policy in China of distributing coal free to residents who live north of the Huai River but not to people living south of the river. In comparing life expectancies, the study found that people living north of the river were exposed to significantly higher total suspended particulates in the air and had a life expectancy of roughly five years less than those living south of the river. That significant difference in life expectancy can be explained almost entirely by a larger mortality rate north of the Huai River from cardiorespiratory diseases typically associated with exposure to air pollution.
This is precisely the health effect one would expect to see from significant exposure to air pollution from uncontrolled combustion of coal. It is a powerful reminder that the most important environmental risks are the most basic ones. While regulators in the US wrestle with how much further to ratchet down emission controls beyond 98% often a huge cost, the most important air pollution controls are often the first 25% to 50%. I remember attending an environmental conference in the 1990s when an EPA official commented that, air pollution being a global problem, we would all be far better off if American companies were allowed to stop improving their emission controls and donate half their savings to pay for emerging countries to acquire technology to control the first 20% of their emissions. Given how the Chinese economy has grown in the last decade, China can certainly afford the costs of controlling its own air pollution, and it should do so promptly.

On the other hand, I'm not sure if that corner case is worth worrying about, or if we just chalk it up to user stupidity (aka libvirt programmer stupidity) if they did something like that (most likely, because the management app forgot to clear FD_CLOEXEC before exec()ing qemu-kvm).If you specify an FD number that isn't actually open when qemu is stared, you can get any FD that qemu opens internally. I think the correct answer to this problem is "then don't do that".
I'd also say "then don't do that". Or maybe "why are you doing that?". But I'm not opposed to closing a corner case if it's not cluttering the code base.
Hmm, this makes me wonder if I can do something crazy like: qemu-kvm -add-fd fd=4,set=1 -qmp /dev/fdset/1 to open a monitor on the fd I just passed in?I think so. At least on my side it was intended to allow this.And what if so, what then happens on that monitor if I request that fdset 1 be removed?The same as with block devices: The fd stays open until the monitor connection is closed. A closed monitor also triggers fd garbage collection, so at this point the original fd would be closed (well, assuming that you had only one monitor). Kevin
True, but I think in this case we care more about the dup'd fd staying open than the fd in the fdset. Remember that qemu_open() dups the fd from the fd set. So assuming the open/close of the QMP fd occurs in qemu_open()/qemu_close(), the QMP fd would be a dup of the fd that was added to the fd set. So if remove-fd removed the fd from the fdset, or it removed the entire fdset, the QMP fd would remain open until qemu_close() was called. I'll try this out today to make sure but I don't think this is an issue.

In this session, moderated by Woodie Flowers, National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Member, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, workshop participants were asked to consider the previous discussions in the context of engineering education:
Engineering educators and professional societies can promote attention to engineering in circumstances of social conflict and environmental challenge, and prepare students and members to address issues responsibly. What kinds of challenges do such activities bring to engineering education? How are educational and professional programs responding? What structural, programmatic, and/or curricular changes, if any, are underway? What alliances are needed?
The presenters were NAE member Linda Abriola, dean, School of Engineering, Tufts University; Caroline Baillie, Department of Materials Engineering and Engineering Education, Queens University, Canada; and Kevin Passino, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ohio State University. Discussants were Richard Anderson, SOMAT Engineering, Inc., and David Daniel, NAE member and president, University of Texas, Dallas.
In his introduction of the session, Dr. Flowers mentioned FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), an organization he works with that sponsors competitions in robotics for young people. The underlying big idea of FIRST is "gracious professionalism," he said, and the biggest award is for teamwork and professional conduct.

4 ENGINEERING, SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 5.1 ENGINEERING PROGRAMS AT TUFTS UNIVERSITY Kick-off speaker Linda Abriola presented an overview of Tufts pro - grams, which promote "the education of engineers as active citizens and innovative problem solvers," and highlighted "common elements, strengths, and challenges" of the educational models on which they are based. The School of Engineering, in cooperation with the Tisch Col - lege of Citizenship and Public Service and the Tufts Institute for the Environment, uses "project-based service learning models" in its under- graduate courses to encourage innovation, teamwork, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and leadership. "Curricular models range from mentored senior projects in sustainable design to a university-wide seminar in the Institute of Global Leadership." Cross-school programs highlighting specific topics (e.g., water; or systems, science, and society) encourage interdisciplinary collaborations in graduate engineering education. These programs often include partic- ipants from the social sciences and other science disciplines. Extracur- ricular activities, which are strongly encouraged, include participation in national organizations, such as Engineers Without Borders, and mem- bership in Tufts outreach groups, such as NERD Girls1 and STOMP (Student Teacher Outreach Mentorship Program) of the Center for Engineering Educational Outreach. Dr. Abriola listed the following factors as important to the success of these programs: institutional commitment; alignment of university culture; supportive administrative infrastructure; individual leadership; and assessment, feedback, and dissemination. These factors are also highlighted in the university's mission statements. 5.2 ENGINEERING WITH AN EYE TO SOCIAL JUSTICE Caroline Baillie, Department of Materials Engineering and Engi- neering Education, Queens University, Canada, focused on the charac - teristics of programs that educate engineering students with an eye to social justice. In her presentation, she (1) identified the main principles of socially just engineering practice and (2) discussed the potential of putting social justice at the center of engineering education and practice. Both of these can show the way to transforming engineering education. 1"Nerd" is a term often used to describe "eggheads," or intellectually and technically astute youngsters who are perceived, stereotypically, to lack social skills. See http://www.nerdgirls.org/ About.html.

SESSION III: IMPLICATIONS FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATION The first principle of socially just engineering practice, Dr. Baillie said, is that engineering students must be educated to think critically and to question perceived views; this principle is based on Paulo Friere's definition of critical thinking as the ability to "see the world as changing, rather than as static," a place where technological needs arise in "diverse social, political, and economic contexts." The next principle is recogniz- ing that "in an academic context, stating opinions is less important than taking positions." Taking a position requires understanding the frames of reference and thinking through "How do we get students to the values at issue. Only then can move . . . out of their comfort zones and actually critique the social justice, rather than charity, positions that they have always become a consideration. been told about from their par- Dr. Baillie described sev- ents, from their schools, and eral methodological approaches what they hear [in the media]? to helping students master these That's not an easy thing but it's really critical." skills: "threshold concepts, action research, collaborative enquiry, Caroline Baillie, transformational learning, and phe- Queen's University nomenography."2 She and her col- laborators have developed learning modules combining various techni- cal and social issues, such as thermodynamics and social justice (issues related to continual growth and resource exploitation). A network addressing these issues and questions can be accessed at esjp.wikispaces. com. 5.3 EDUCATING VOLUNTEER ENGINEERS Kevin Passino, Ohio State University, took a position in his talk— that educating volunteer engineers is a university responsibility and that fulfilling that responsibility requires several strategies: putting more emphasis on ethics and professionalism in the curriculum; encourag - ing hands-on volunteerism via student organizations; and promoting 2"Phenomenography is the empirical study of the differing ways in which people experience, perceive, apprehend, understand, [and] conceptualize various phenomena in and aspects of the world around us." Researchers in phenomenography investigate and classify the different ways people learn. See Ference Marton. 1994. Phenomenography.

ENGINEERING, SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT service learning through community-oriented design projects. However, developing the academic infrastructures that can encourage and support engineering volunteerism is a significant challenge. In support of his position, Dr. Passino noted that the definition of a profession always includes public service. This doesn't mean that every engineer has to satisfy this criterion, he said, but the profession as a whole does. He then gave some examples of class assignments that could "teach" ethics/professionalism, such as paper design projects that must meet community design constraints or address global issues, and research papers on relevant subjects, such as assessing corporate citizen- ship programs, surveying engineering volunteerism projects, assessing codes of ethics, and so on. Dr. Passino then described ECOS (Engineers for Community Service), a student-run organization at Ohio State that links students with sponsors of local and international service projects that promote professionalism.3 Finally, Dr. Passino argued for "Public service is a crucial part an infrastructure that goes beyond of being a professional." academia and involves professional organizations and government, as Kevin Passino, well as industry, where corporate Ohio State University citizenship programs could have a big impact. 5.4 PANEL DISCUSSION In response to the talks in this session, Richard Anderson of SOMAT Engineering, Inc. described what a few professional societies are doing to encourage socially just and environmentally sensitive engineering, as well as to promote professionalism and ethics. ABET4 is working with China to develop an engineering accreditation system, an ethical obligation, he argued, to help developing nations. Dr. Anderson also mentioned work by the American Association for Engineering Societies, an umbrella organization that represents the United States in the World Federation of Engineering Organizations, which has a committee on capacity building. 3For more about the ECOS-sponsored activities, see ecos.osu.edu for project descriptions. 4ABET, Inc., the recognized accrediting agency for college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering, and technology, is a federation of 29 professional and technical societies in these fields. See www.abet.org.

SESSION III: IMPLICATIONS FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATION Dr. Anderson then turned to issues raised in the presentation by Dr. Green, the early-career engineer. He described the contentious issues in post-Katrina New Orleans that arose when the recommendations of engi- neering experts conflicted with community needs and desires, such as a recommendation against rebuilding on a floodplain. He left the group with this question: Is this an example of a conflict between professional ethics and social justice? Can engineering education begin to examine and analyze professional responsibility in light of such conflict? The second discussant, David Daniel, NAE member and president, University of Texas, Dallas, said that licensed professional engineers had "built a box around themselves" by saying who can and cannot be an engineer. On the one hand, this protects them from incompetent engineering. On the other hand, it may prevent professional engineers and engineering faculty from moving forward and from "intellectually permeating out into some of the softer boundaries on the periphery of the society." Dr. Daniel has argued that sup- porting courses for master's degrees should not be taught in the college "I see . . . a lack of willingness of a lot of faculty . . . to expand of engineering, a point of view that the size of this box that we call "appalls" many of his colleagues. engineering." In addition, he said, although engi- neers can teach micro-ethics easily, David Daniel, they lack the competence to teach University of Texas, Dallas macro-ethics. Indeed, he remarked, engineering students may regard the entire subject of ethics skeptically, given what Daniel described as a world around them that can at times appear alarmingly unethical. To overcome that skepticism, Daniel suggested engineers should organize to promote a Good Samaritan law to protect engineers who come to the aid of people in a time of crisis. In support of this idea, he described his experience as chair of the American Society of Civil Engi- neers Hurricane Katrina external review panel. In his opinion, things had gone wrong when the levees were built in New Orleans because the focus of those promoting and implementing the project was on profit rather than on social justice. Too little money was spent on flood protec- tion to ensure safety and social justice, he said, and there was a general unwillingness among those in a position to call the country's attention to the needs to spend political capital to change that. As a result, the engineering of the levees was poor. However, it is too late to correct that

ENGINEERING, SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT situation. All that can be done in the near term is to focus on evacuation plans, he said. Dr. Daniel concluded with a reminder that the audience should consider which aspects of ethics and social justice should be taught in college classes and which should be taught in continuing education. Given the time constraints in undergraduate engineering education, this is an important issue. 5.5 GENERAL DISCUSSION Eric Pappas, school of engineering at James Madison University, noted that the communications and design program at his school is an example of a program that crosses disciplinary boundaries. It includes creative thinking, aesthetics, and ethics, among other topics. The audience then turned quickly to an intense discussion of the meaning of "social justice." Some argued that social justice is a political concept, others that it has religious connotations; some considered rela- tive risk in relationship to social justice, arguing that the most vulnerable among us are often exposed to disproportionately greater risk. Still oth - ers said they considered ecological sustainability a social justice issue. Many agreed that technical knowledge is essential to understanding the social and ethical parameters of choices, whether the choices relate to transportation or fisheries or any other social activity. Engineers, they argued, should be involved in educating the public about engineering and social justice issues, but they questioned whether their education enabled them to assume that role (although one said that the Tufts program was an exemplar of how this could be done). Participants dis- agreed about how well engineering societies are educating the public, and even about whether engineering societies should be speaking with one voice about ethical matters. The group also discussed whether engineering educators realize that most students do not pursue academic careers and whether they should be preparing students to deal with ethical issues that arise in non aca - demic environments. Dr. Passino had the last word on this subject. Since only about 15 percent of engineering undergraduates at Ohio State go on to graduate school, he said, he designed a less theoretical course that focuses on issues like safety and risk in manufacturing, a situation to which many students will actually be exposed. He ended with a plea for a grassroots push for strengthening corporate citizenship programs, which could raise the status of the profession.

Pope's mission to revive faith clouded by scandal
They shared meals, celebrated daily Mass together and at the end of the day watched DVDs, especially of Benedict's favorite show "Don Camillo and Peppone," a black and white comedy from the 1950s about the pastor of a small Italian town and its Communist mayor.
Benedict was born April 16, 1927 in Marktl Am Inn, in Bavaria, but his father, a policeman, moved frequently and the family left when he was 2.
In his memoirs, Benedict dealt what could have been a source of controversy had it been kept secret - that he was enlisted in the Nazi youth movement against his will when he was 14 in 1941, when membership was compulsory. He said he was soon let out because of his studies for the priesthood. Two years later he was drafted into a Nazi anti-aircraft unit as a helper. He deserted the German army in April 1945, the waning days of the war.
He called it prophetic that a German followed a Polish pope - with both men coming from such different sides of World War II.
Benedict was ordained, along with his brother, in 1951. After spending several years teaching theology in Germany, he was appointed bishop of Munich in 1977 and elevated to cardinal three months later by Pope Paul VI.
John Paul named him leader of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 1981 and he took up his post a year later. Following John Paul's death in 2005, he was elected pope.
If there were any doubts about Benedict's priority to reinvigorate Christianity in Europe, his choice of a papal name was as good as any indication.
Benedict told cardinals soon after he was elected that he hoped to be a pope of peace, like Pope Benedict XV, who reigned during World War I. But the first Benedict - St. Benedict of Norcia - was also an inspiration.
The 5th and 6th century monk is a patron saint of Europe and inspired the creation of the Benedictine order, the main guardian of learning and literature in Western Europe during the dark centuries that followed the fall of the Roman Empire.

Sarah Burns wrote looking for a lemony angel food cake recipe. I received several from readers, many of which involved shortcuts using a box cake mix. Shortcuts are always tempting, but I was up for a challenge because I had never made an angel food cake. This recipe was sent in by Victoria Bell, via cookbook author and Food Network personality Ina Garten.
There are two things I should tell you about this recipe: It's for more experienced bakers, and you must use a tube pan. (I used a Bundt pan because I didn't have a tube pan, and that's a substitution I wouldn't make again.) I drizzled the cake with a lemony glaze for the photo, but it's good plain.

Lemon Angel Food Cake
From Ina Garten
2 cups sifted superfine sugar, divided
1¹⁄3 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising)
1½ cups egg whites, at room temperature (10-12 eggs)
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1½ teaspoon cream of tartar
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ teaspoons lemon zest (2 lemons)
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine ½ cup of sugar with the flour and sift together, four times.
Place the egg whites, salt and cream of tartar in the bowl of an electric mixer with whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until the eggs make medium-firm peaks.
With the mixer on medium speed, add the remaining sugar by sprinkling it over the beaten egg whites. Whip for a few more minutes until the mixture is thick and shiny.
Whisk in the vanilla and lemon zest until the eggs are very thick, about 1 minute more.
Sift about ½ of the flour mixture over the egg whites and fold into the batter with a rubber spatula.
Continue adding the flour by fourths by sifting and folding until it's all incorporated. Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, smooth the top and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cake springs back to the touch.
Remove the cake from the oven and from the pan by inverting on a wire rack until cool.

ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a new BNA Tax & Accounting webinar that will be held on February 10, 2011 Estate Tax Changes, noted tax authors and commentators Jerry Hesch, Alan Gassman, and Christopher Denicolo will present analysis concluding that the passage of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 does not cause a "clawback" tax obligation for people who make gifts in 2011 and 2012 that exceed their post 2012 estate tax exemption allowance.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090114/DC59060LOGO-b)
"Their analysis comes at a time when many commentators have speculated that a reduction in the estate tax allowance for 2013 could cause "retroactive gift tax liability for deaths after 2012," says BNA Tax & Accounting Managing Editor Harry Pskowski.
The new $5.0 million exemption, together with a 35% tax rate, applies to estates of those dying in 2011 and 2012, as well as to gifts and generation-skipping transfers made in those years. Then, in 2013, the pre-EGTRRA law will return, with a $1.0 million exclusion and a maximum 55% tax rate. This presentation will allow participants to focus on the opportunities offered for planners by these changes, and bring clarity where there has been much confusion.Hesch, Gassman and colleague Christopher Denicolo will show how many estates of wealthy taxpayers who died during 2010 may elect to be subject to the estate tax in order to have new taxable basis in the assets they leave to facilitate having new depreciable basis and less capital gains liability for their families. This live webinar will provide participants with:
- Estate and tax planning opportunities for clients with estates both above and below the new $5,000,000 thresholds
- A working knowledge of the new rules, and how to work with them
- Deadlines for taking action and filing tax returns and important tax elections
- What to do for estates of clients with over $5,000,000 in assets who died in 2010
- Professor Hesch's analysis of the clawback risk, and why it should not prevent large 2011 and 2012 gifting
- How many favored past techniques will continue to apply in 2011 and 2012, but in different ways
- How dynasty trust planning will be different and more popular
- The pros and cons tax exemption portability in 2011 and 2012, and how to make credit shelter trust planning more flexible
- Why this is an opportune time to review estate plans
- Expanded opportunities to use the estate tax regime for income tax planning if an individual owns interests in real estate where liabilities exceed tax basis

The Swordfish was a three-man torpedo-bomber and reconnaissance biplane with a basic structure of fabric-covered metal. The wings folded for storage on the crowded deck of an aircraft carrier. Armament included one forward-firing Vickers machine gun and one swiveling Vickers in the rear cockpit. Primary offensive power took the form of depth charges, mines, bombs or, especially, a torpedo. Unfortunately, this outstanding plane was too slow to withstand the punishment of German anti-aircraft fire. Long, accurate approaches to the target made the Swordfish very vulnerable when delivering its torpedo. Thus came re-deployment in an anti-submarine warfare role, using depth charges and, later, rockets.
As with many wartime aircraft, Swordfish were produced by more than one manufacturer. Well over half (almost 1700) were built by the Blackburn company in Sherburn in Elmet, UK.
This particular 1:72 scale replica of a Swordfish was flown by Coastal Command's No. 119 Squadron, embarked upon the HMS Ark Royal. Sold Out!
