Athletics trade Tommy Milone to Twins for Sam Fuld
The Oakland Athletics have traded left-hander Tommy Milone to the Minnesota Twins for outfielder Sam Fuld. The A's moved Milone just hours after acquiring All-Star pitcher Jon Lester in a blockbuster trade with the Boston Red Sox. Milone, 27, is 6-3 with a 3.55 ERA in 16 starts this season. But he has spent most of this past month in the minors. Fuld, 32, returns...

Two researchers have joined the University of Warwick to tackle the challenges faced by cities in the 21st century as part of CUSP.
Empirical State Building
A Distinguished Lecture and podcast from Dr Steven Koonin, Founding Director of CUSP, given at the University of Warwick, CUSP's only European partner.
New York. Bright lights? Certainly. Big city? Unquestionably. Lab experiment?… In this Distinguished Lecture for the University of Warwick, Steven Koonin discusses his new role as the head of New York University's new Center for Urban Science and Progress and how NYC is about to go 'under the digital microscope'.
Can Megacities Be Resilient?
On October 24, Leah Cohen, New York City's climate resilience advisor; Steven Koonin, inaugural director of NYU's new Center for Urban Science and Progress; and David Biello, energy and environment editor at Scientific American had a wide-ranging discussion on how cities will cope with a century of accelerating change.
In the coming decades, cities will be bigger than ever, energy more expensive, and the climate more volatile. These new challenges, to use the politician's favorite euphemism, will make it harder than ever to meet electricity demands, run transportation systems smoothly and keep buildings safe. The answer? Resilience, say some experts. But what does that really mean? …
New York City Council Committees Hear Testimony on CUSP
CUSP Director Steve Koonin and CUNY Vice Chancellor for Research Gillian Small testified at the September 28, 2012 oversight hearing, "The Applied Science NYC Initiative – Plans for a dramatic transformation of the City's economy," held jointly by the New York City Council Committee on Higher Education, the Committee on Technology, and the Committee on Economic Development.

Steve Koonin speaks at DataGotham 2012
DataGotham was a celebration of New York City's data community, bringing together professionals from finance to fashion and from startups to the Fortune 500. The day-and-a-half event consisted of intense discussion, networking, and sharing of wisdom, taking place on September 13th – 14th at NYU Stern's Paulson auditorium. Steve Koonin was invited to discuss his view of a connected city, as well as to discuss the newly formed Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP).
Mayoral Press Conference Announcing Launch of CUSP
Mayor Bloomberg, NYU President John Sexton and MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota announce a historic partnership to to create the Center for Urban Science + Progress, a new applied sciences center, in downtown Brooklyn. The academic and private-sector consortium is the city's next step in the City's Applied Sciences NYC Initiative.
NYU Names Renowned Physicist Steven Koonin Director of New Center for Urban Science and Progress
NYU today named Steven E. Koonin – a theoretical physicist who has served as Undersecretary of Energy for Science, Chief Scientist of BP, and Provost of the California Institute of Technology – as the Director of the new Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), an applied science and engineering institute created by NYU as a consortium of world-class universities, global technology corporations, and innovative urban designers.
Koonin's appointment came as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg – accompanied by NYU President John Sexton and Dr. Koonin at a press conference in Brooklyn – announced the designation of CUSP as one of the winning proposals submitted in response to Applied Sciences NYC, a major City economic development initiative to increase New York's capacity in the applied sciences and spur the growth of new tech-related businesses and jobs.
NYU President John Sexton said, "The creation of CUSP – and the announcement by Mayor Bloomberg of its designation as one of the Applied Sciences NYC winners — is an extraordinarily exciting event for NYU. Its research and academic programs will address one of the most pressing and pervasive challenges of our times – how to make an increasingly urbanized world work better. CUSP is not merely a new educational program or a new research center – it will be an incubator for an entirely new industry.
"An undertaking such as CUSP requires a person of exceptional talents – a scientist of outstanding abilities and credentials; a proven and experienced leader; and a person with the vision and entrepreneurial spirit necessary not only to create a new enterprise, but to aim it at solving some of the world's great challenges. In Steve Koonin, we have found such a person. By dint of talent, accomplishments, knowledge, attitude, and energy, he's a perfect fit. Recruiting a scientist of Steve's stature is a tremendous validation of the idea at the heart of CUSP, and its promise."
Sr. Vice Provost for Research Paul Horn said, "Steve Koonin is an exceptional choice to be CUSP's director. His record of directing scientific efforts to solve complex and seemingly intractable problems makes him stand out as a leader in the scientific community. I don't think there is anyone better suited to be CUSP's founding director, to ensure excellence in its research agenda, and to focus on translating the research and discoveries into real-world, commercializable solutions. We are very fortunate to have Steve coming on board, and, on behalf of the entire NYU community, we welcome him and offer our congratulations on this new assignment."
Director Koonin said of his appointment: "NYU and its partners have envisioned a remarkable enterprise that will simultaneously improve the workings of the City, advance technology, spur economic activity, and educate a global population of students in the development and application of Urban Science. I am extraordinarily energized to be returning to New York City to work with CUSP's partners and other stakeholders to realize that vision; there is no place better to be doing this work."
Dr. Koonin was confirmed by the Senate in May, 2009 as Undersecretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy, serving in that position until November, 2011. Prior to joining the Obama Administration, he was BP's Chief Scientist, where he was a strong advocate for research into renewable energies and alternate fuel sources. He came to BP in 2004 following almost 3 decades as Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology, serving as the Institute's Vice President and Provost for the last nine years. Koonin comes to CUSP most immediately from a position at the Science and Technology Policy Institute of the Institute for Defense Analyses in Washington, DC.
Koonin's research interests have included nuclear astrophysics; theoretical nuclear, computational, and many-body physics; and global environmental science. He has been involved in scientific computing throughout his career. He has supervised more than 30 PhD students, produced more than 200 peer-reviewed research publications, and authored or edited 3 books, including a pioneering textbook on Computational Physics in 1985. As Caltech's Provost, Koonin oversaw its research and educational programs, including the hiring of one-third of the Institute's faculty. At BP, he conceived and established the Energy Bioscience Institute at UC Berkeley and the University of Illinois, while at DOE, he led the preparation of both its most recent Strategic Plan and its first Quadrennial Technology Review for energy. Koonin has served as an advisor for numerous academic, government, and for-profit organizations.
Dr. Koonin is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the George Green Prize for Creative Scholarship at Caltech, a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship, an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship, and a Senior U.S. Scientist Award (Humboldt Prize), and the Department of Energy's Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award. He is a Fellow of several professional societies, including the American Physical Society, the American Association of the Advancement of Sciences, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
Koonin was born in Brooklyn, NY and graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1968. He received his B.S. in physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1972 and his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from MIT in 1975. He and his wife Laurie have been married for 37 years and have three children: Anna (27), Alyson (24), and Benjamin (22).

¿The Zine Year- Book¿ has a variety of underground magazines from all over the United States. Jen Angel and Jason Kucsma love the underground press because they believe it is a great form of self- expression. They are filled with humor, street fashion, voiced opinions, and so many other awesome things that you just can¿t get in mainstream magazines. Those magazines that are sold in Wal-Mart are always in competition and all have the exact same stories about our society. Jason and Jen both noticed this as well, so they created ¿The Zine Year-book; A year in the life of the underground press¿ that is filled with independent zines. Some of the zines include comic strips, others include a typewriter, others may have pictures, or drawings, and some are just typed. Almost all of them are black and white because it is cheaper, for not that many people buy these zines. ¿The Zine Year-Book¿ is filled with the zines in alphabetical order and it starts out with Jen and Jason¿s introduction stating that, ¿Simply put, written zines are still one of the most accessible forms of self- expression. You don¿t need any specialized equipment to broadcast over the airwaves or record your ideas, and you don¿t even need a computer to create or view zines. All you need is a pen, paper, and a couple of dollars for the copy machine (5).¿ For instance, there is a zine they put in this book that is called ¿Letters from Bicycle¿ and the article is by Five (a lady), and she wrote about her friend who had died. It is a very sad article, but beautiful nonetheless. It is beautiful because she wrote it in her own handwriting and copied it on to the paper, which makes it much more personal. This book allows readers to see the other side of the magazine world and discover their creative side.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Building on Success I 've been reviewing old newspaper clippings about the library from the late 1970s when the need, affordability and location of the current library was being debated. Looking at these articles has been a helpful history lesson as well as the source of a few giggles - Gabby the Bear made her first appearance during this time! I thought I would share some insights from looking at the past in the context of today's conversations about the future of the Appleton Public Library. ...Continued on the following page. Fine Print • Summer 2014 | 3 Building on Success First, we are getting the same questions today that were brought up 35 years ago. For example, questions about using other libraries such as local universities or public schools were brought up in the article "Alternatives to new library?" by Tom Richards on November 2, 1978. Mr. Richard's response mirrored a response I recently provided to the same question on April 5. The suggestion to use other libraries has come up repeatedly and the reality is these are very different libraries with different collections and different user needs. We have little collection duplication and the spaces mentioned above are designed and paid for by their users. For example, Lawrence is generous in that they allow the public to use their facility in a limited way, but as a private university are under no obligation to do so, and their collection is geared toward the academic curriculum they provide as a liberal arts institution. We learned from our Community Conversations in 2012 that school media centers are often in difficult to reach places and with the amount of security required in schools today, they are not good spaces for the general public to wander in and out of. Second, planning the future of your public library is, and should be an extensive community-wide dialog. The old news clippings show how many diverse opinions there were and how long this process took. Libraries often experience problems with perception because often people understand the services they personally use, but don't realize the depth or breadth of other services offered. On February 26, 1978, the article "Library is more than 'book place' and it sometimes can get noisy" provides a review of the services the library offered the previous year. In it, the writer acknowledges that many are often surprised at all the library has to offer. This has not changed. Today's libraries fulfill many important roles: • libraries pool resources for the collective good • libraries serve as a meeting place with programmed activities • libraries serve as a "third place" providing opportunities for the unplanned and the serendipitous • libraries serve as a means of exchanging ideas and information • libraries serve as a place to produce new, creative content • libraries provide an opportunity for citizens to lead healthy, successful lives providing equal opportunity to those who tend to be socially excluded or may not have the means or stature that many of us are fortunate enough to have • libraries help create a community of informed and active citizens • libraries stimulate the economy • libraries preserve what is unique and special about the local culture • libraries serve as a symbol of how the community sees itself These are all important, but libraries are also a significant investment. This is precisely why the APL Board of Trustees chose a deliberate approach of completing a community-oriented mission, vision and services plan, followed by an assessment of the facility and if it could accommodate that plan. All this work continues to be available and updated on our building process website - www.apl150.org. Third, throughout these conversations about the future; politics, parking, design and funding took center stage in the headlines. We are grateful for the attention we have received from the media about the library project because it helps communicate with as many people as possible, but the reality is that headlines can't convey the years and thousands of hours of work that have been put into this planning process. The importance of the library as a facility is how successful it can accommodate the mission and vision of the library. My favorite experience visiting a library had nothing to do with what the building looked like. It had to do with the activities and civic interaction I was able to observe. This memorable library found a way to provide exactly what the community needed because they knew their community so well. We are working to do the same thing here. We offered our Community Conversations initiative with over 20 focus groups in 20122013 and completed the APL 150 service plan reaching toward our 150th anniversary in 2047 because we wanted to develop the library that fit your priorities, hopes and dreams for the future. Most importantly, the staff of Appleton Public Library continue to work tirelessly to offer amazing collections, programs and services for the community just as they did during the previous building process. While decisions about the future of the library facility are important and will garner a lot of headlines in the years ahead, it shouldn't overshadow all the wonderful things that happen at the library every day. I hope you enjoy these stories about the extraordinary library service and collaborations we are working on while all headlines about the building are making history. Colleen Rortvedt Library Director Fine Print • Summer 2014 | 5 Tracing Your Family Tree By Tasha Saecker Assistant Director O ne of our most popular online resources at APL is Ancestry. Ancestry: Library Edition has historical records on over six billion people and is a great tool for people to trace their family history, but it can only be used in the library. Thanks to our success with this limited access, we knew we had to find a way to offer genealogy resources that you could access right from home. Enter World Vital Records, which also hosts a wide variety of data that can help you trace your family tree. U.S. Census records from 1790 to 1940 are available as well as the U.S. Social Security Death Index, which contains over 89 million names. If you have traced your family overseas, you have access to data from other countries as well. Census, births, deaths and marriages from the UK and Ireland are available. Canadian and Australian census records, newspapers and also specific province and territory records can be accessed. Click on the "world" tab and you can view records from over 40 different countries. At APL, you can build on what you know about your family, research your roots, and learn where you came from. These powerful resources can help you and so can our knowledgeable staff. Even though you can access this new resource from home, feel free to come in and ask questions too! 6 | Fine Print • Summer 2014 • Tech Connect Public Services Building Projects By Sue Ritchie Public Services Library Clerk B uilding is nothing new at the Appleton Public Library. In fact, building projects are in progress every day. Such projects come in the form of a toddler building upon a growing vocabulary by attending a children's story time, a teen being the architect of her own art created during a school night meeting with friends, or a job seeking patron spending time on a computer before submitting a resume with the potential to reconstruct their future. Here at APL, relationships are built one layer at a time through the sharing of a good book, joining a spouse for an afternoon movie, or taking advantage of endless technology tools that can dig up answers for those wishing to learn how to design a healthy dinner, grow a garden from a muddy patch of earth, or hammer together a birdhouse. Parents wanting to connect the pieces, as well as their families, arrive together at the library and work to build a life-long love of learning. Confidence is built in front of a self-check machine when one of the smiling children successfully checks out a long-awaited hold and happily adds it to the family book bag. The bag has something for everyone and is certain to contain a special book or movie to be enjoyed before bedtime; cementing in the last brick of the day. The community has an invitation to come inside the library's construction zone, where on a daily basis, the walls come down as patrons gather to play, learn, and explore possibilities. Open the door and discover how APL is committed to establishing a firm foundation for a successful future. • Fine Print • Summer 2014 | 7 Be a Friend!

Sarah has volunteered in a variety of ways at the library, including: shelving, delivering books to patrons who cannot make it to the library, assisting with children's programs and serving with the Friends Membership Committee. The committee did such a great job greeting, it inspired APL to implement regularly scheduled library greeters, a role Sarah fills every month. The Gilberts fulfill several other volunteer roles in the Fox Cities, as well as state-wide.

The Gilberts are steady, unassuming champions of APL and of libraries in general. Wherever help is needed, from lending a hand with a library event to providing guidance in leadership roles, Peter and Sarah have eagerly assisted. Peter and Sarah were co-presidents of Friends of Appleton Library (FOAL), the sister organization that raised funds for library services and programs. The variety of ways they have contributed their time and talents to APL has expanded since then. Peter served in 2010 as the first president of Friends of Appleton Public Library, after the merger of FOAL with the Appleton Library Foundation.

Sarah coordinates the Alternative Gift Market at All Saints Episcopal Church, where both Peter and Sarah assist with a variety of activities. The Gilberts and their daughters Susannah and Emily have contributed scores of volunteer hours, many of which predate when APL started tracking volunteer hours. The Gilberts are part of a group of extremely committed patrons and Friends who over the years provided the foundation of APL's volunteer program. APL and Friends of APL decided to name the Appleton Public Library's Volunteer of the Year award after the Gilbert family because they each generously volunteer not for any kind of special recognition but out of an authentic sense of mission to the library, to APL's patrons and to what libraries provide communities.

This year's festival brought in over 50 authors at events all over the area. All told, more than 5,000 people attended this year's Book Festival. It's the successes that drive us forward with each year. Where other similar festivals have faltered, or failed altogether, we seem to be learning lessons every year and putting them to use. Putting together the Book Festival has always felt like a marathon; you start as early as possible, find your pace and try to keep just enough energy in reserve for the sprint at the end. This year felt a little different; the run up was not quite as arduous. We made the most of the time we had and developed some new partnerships that not only helped us out logistically and financially, but give us a solid template to work from for years to come. Of course it goes without saying that all of our partners; including organizations and individuals are the engine that makes this all possible. This year we seemed to have more support than ever. Of course, all the planning and support in the world won't save you if what you present to the community is subpar. This year I thought we did a good job in presenting a varied T By Brian Kopetsky Community Partnerships Supervisor Book Fest Wrap Up line-up of authors that appealed to the many tastes of our community. And our authors certainly didn't let us down. The authors at the events I attended were happy to share their stories, both written and personal. One of the best parts of the festival is the authors' willingness to share their knowledge and experiences with people. Here at APL, we had multiple talks about everything from getting the beginning your story right, to having your work published. Even those who were not actively writing seem to enjoy getting the behind-the-scenes tours of the publishing world. For those who were more interested in stories, we had multiple readings and meet the author sessions. It's amazing to be part of an event where community members can meet and engage with so many authors, and of course get their books signed! In fact one of the few criticisms I heard, and it's one we hear every year, is that we had too many great events going on and it was hard to choose. While we do our best to spread things out to allow people to get to many events as possible, there is part of me that, instead of taking it as a criticism, takes it as a compliment. After all who can be mad at being allowed choices?

Several community organizations are involved in this initiative including; Appleton Area School District, Fox Valley Literacy Council, Outagamie County Birth-5 Early Intervention and UW-Oshkosh Head Start. Appleton Ready to Read was created as a result of the 2011 Fox Cities LIFE study, which showed a decline in local third grade reading scores. Further research shows that children who speak English as a second language tend to enter kindergarten without the same skills as their peers and are less likely to be prepared to learn to read. Early childhood brain development also tells us that pre-literacy skills should be developing between birth and age five. With all of this research in hand, we knew we needed to get to English language learning children before they entered kindergarten, in order to help develop the pre-literacy skills they would need to be ready to read. Write Talk Sing Play That is where Yee came into the picture. Yee arrived at APL in the summer of 2012 as an intern from the University of Wisconsin. In early 2013, we applied for a federal grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to pilot Appleton Ready to Read. We were awarded the grant, with which we were able to hire Yee as our first part-time Hmong Family Outreach Specialist. The work Yee and staff members from the library have completed in 2013 was so successful, the City of Appleton added the Hmong Family Outreach Specialist position to the library's budget. Fast forward to this year. With a successful year of Hmong family outreach under our belts, we knew it was time to expand to the other leading English language learning community in the Fox Cities, the Hispanic population. We were recently awarded a grant from the Basic Needs Giving Partnership Fund within the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region supported by the U.S. Venture Fund for Basic Needs, the J.J. Keller Foundation and other community partners to fund our first part-time Hispanic Family Outreach Specialist, Norma Oliveras. Other community members and organizations have graciously supported Appleton Ready to Read including; Bemis Company, Will and Ruth Bloedow, Bouwer Family Foundation, Friends of APL and Thrivent Financial Foundation. Appleton Public Library's role in this initiative is to help show parents how to be their child's first teacher and prepare them to enter kindergarten ready to learn to read. We also help non-English speaking parents to feel comfortable using our library. We strive to fulfill these goals through the following services: Home Visits Yee and Norma make home visits to present current practices for developing early literacy skills. During the visit Norma and Yee focus on the importance of reading and writing with children. Parents receive a toolkit, including a book, crayons and a coloring book to encourage families to engage in pre-literacy activities together. Library Tours During this portion of the program, parents receive a tour of Children's Services, have the chance to sign up for a library card and learn how to select material for their children. Play and Learn Classes Parents are encouraged to attend the Play and Learn classes where they learn how to help their child develop necessary pre-reading skills, social skills and confidence through interactive, playcentered learning. Partner Referrals Families are referred to Appleton Ready to Read partners as appropriate. These partners play a crucial role in delivering the necessary services beyond what we can provide. AASD provides 3-5 year-old developmental screening and recommends early intervention programs to assist children. Outagamie County Birth to 3 Early Intervention screens infants and toddlers for developmental delays and provides early intervention services to those children who are eligible. Head Start provides early childhood education to children who come from low income families. Fox Valley Literacy Council provides support to parents who face literacy challenges. We are very proud of this community initiative and we are excited to be able to expand the outreach services to include our Hispanic population. We would like to extend our gratitude to all of the sponsors, staff members and library supporters that have helped to communicate the importance of early childhood education to our community.

The U.S. Army says within the next few months it will assert that a large portion of its financial statements are audit- ready and will turn outside auditors loose on the documentation covering its general fund. It took several years for the Army to reach this point. It's also an important step for the Defense Department, as a whole, to reach full audit readiness by fiscal year 2017. David Patterson, director of the North American Joint Development Agreement Partnerships for N12 Technologies and former principal deputy undersecretary of defense and comptroller, talks about gear-up.

Report from Matthew White:
I have set-up GeoServer and created an Oracle Spatial
datastore and several FeatureTypes. To test that
everything is working OK, I submitted several GetMap
requests with bbox set to the extent defined in the
FeatureType editor (used Generate to calculate). For
the polygon and line layers, everything worked OK and
I received the map as expected. However for point
layers, I was only receiving features that were
actually on the boundary defined by the bbox
Looking at the SQL sent to Oracle, SDO_RELATE is being
used to select anything that is not DISJOINT to the
polygon defined by the bbox parameter (i.e., therefore
everything in the selected box). It appears that the
SDO_EMEL_INFO_ARRAY used to define the selection
polygon uses the value of 1003 (exterior polygon ring)
and the SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY is passed the bbox
coordinate points in clockwise order. What I believe
may be my problem (speculation on my part) is that the
Oracle documentation indicates that for an element
type of 1003, the coordinate points should be passed
into SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY in counterclockwise order
(clockwise ordering is indicated for element type 2003
interior polygon ring). If I switch the element type
to 2003 in the SQL, I get the results that I would
expect. So my question, is it possible that I have
set-up something incorrectly that would result in the
element type / point ordering combination that I am
seeing, or could the problem be caused from something
else that I may have configured incorrectly?
Issue Links
- depends upon
GEOT-427 Requests for bounding boxes are sometimes in wrong coordinate order
think you're exactly right, and your speculations rattled my memories to
bring up a thread where we talked about this but I don't think we ever
resolved it, since it was right before christmas and everyone was swamped.
The basic point being that JTS just passes things off without specifying
the order, but we do have a counterclockwise method that we should be able
to utilize. I will try to fix it this week and post a jar for you to
Follow the link David, it should have instructions for this. I really meant to get to this one before I left, but don't think I'll have time. If you need an oracle bug Jody.
This should be fixed. I don't have any way to confirm, since I don't have the point rotation stuff, but the issue upon which this depends is fixed, in 1.3.x. Reopen the issue if things still fail.

Arsenal young gun Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is excited about getting over to Asia for the clubs pre-season tour.
The 18-year old winger made a very positive impact in his debut season with the Gunners, which culminated in a few appearances for England at Euro2012, and he is keen to continue improving when the North Londoners fly out for training and games in Malaysia, China and Hong Kong.
"I hope to work on my fitness and gain more experience, and I am sure we will have a good time too," he told Arsenal Player.
"Obviously it is a good start to the season and hopefully I will do as well as I can out there and push on."
And Oxlade-Chamberlain also admitted it was a surprise to see how much fanfare there was for Arsenal from all corners of the globe.
"When I first came to Arsenal [the popularity of the Club] was one of the most surprising things for me," he said.
"You have people from Malaysia, South Africa, America and Australia all supporting Arsenal and it makes you realise how big a club this is."

Holocaust education opportunity for CO educators
The Levine Institute for Holocaust Education of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum seeks to train the nation's teachers to encourage their students to learn about the Holocaust, to reflect on its meaning for today, and then to act responsibly as members of the national and global community.
We are pleased to offer The Arthur and Rochelle Belfer National Conference for Educators. Secondary teachers and community college instructors with fewer than five years' experience in teaching about the Holocaust are encouraged to apply. The workshop is free of charge and includes many classroom resources. Participants are responsible for their travel expenses.
A generous number of $1,000 scholarships are available to teachers, especially those in geographic regions or whose student populations are defined as underserved by the Museum --- and our funder is particularly interested in Colorado educators.

President's Message from Stephen Armstrong,
National Council for the Social Studies
You Are the Advocate
For many social studies teachers working in the classroom, the statement that they should be engaged in "advocacy" for their profession sounds strange or scary. Many social studies teachers are told by their administrators not to let students know what their political positions are on local referendum issues, elections, etc., with an implication that all personal politics is to be dampened. In addition, many teachers perceive "advocacy" to be something that a few NCSS leaders might do off in Washington, DC; something with little connection to what they actually are doing in the classroom every day.
I have news for you: teachers have a constitutionally protected right to do important advocacy outside of the classroom, and it all begins at the local level. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the 30-year veteran—or the first-year teacher—talking to his or her state legislator or city/town council member on the value and importance of social studies education. With politics and budgets being as they are today, a large amount of legislative action that will directly impact social studies education is likely to take place at the local and state levels, and even national policy has its source at the grass roots.
Better than just lobbying a council member, begin by inviting him or her to speak to your classes or to help judge a Geography Bee competition. Successful advocates will tell you that building up this relationship is infinitely helpful.
Many teachers who go into a state legislator's office for the first time fear that they won't remember "everything that needs to be said." Or, conversely, they are unclear just what to ask for. You may have only 10 or 15 short minutes to "make your case" (I have learned by this point to NOT take this time restriction personally). You might begin by briefly "Telling your story," showing how social studies is important for your students. If you have a specific example of a student in your classes being positively impacted by what he or she did in your classes, tell that memorable story. Then, be prepared and ask for something specific. Don't just ask for "more money for social studies," rather, ask your legislator (or their aid, if the official is unavailable) to support a specific bill, initiative, or line item on a budget. Make sure you leave your card with the person you are speaking to, with assurances that you are available. Then, send a follow up note (not an email) to the person that you spoke with, thanking that person for his or her time.
Further hints: Advocate for all of the core disciplines of social studies, K-12. Since many legislators are especially interested when civics or civic education is mentioned, make sure that topic is covered. Coordinate with your local or state council leaders, and encourage others to do the same thing you are doing. Visit in groups of three or four, and rehearse your message before you arrive, and be sure you have a clearly articulated, central request.
Advocacy is not just something done by a few NCSS folks in Washington. The best advocacy is done by classroom teachers in their relationships with local and state officials. It's never too late to begin!

James Cook's first journey across the Pacific, in 1768-71, provides the most superb visual record of one of the early voyages that characterised this period of eighteenth-century discovery. During his important mission in search of a southern continent--a find that would consolidate Britain's trading power--Cook and his crew, including Joseph Banks and the artist Sydney Parkinson, accumulated a mass of natural history and ethnographic material that would astonish the scientific establishment around the world. However, death and disease would have a catastrophic bearing on the fortunes of all those involved.

Obama defense pick could come sooner than expected
Friday - 11/30/2012, 5:25pm EST
By BEN FELLER and JULIE PACE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama could name his next defense secretary in December, far sooner than expected and perhaps in a high-powered package announcement with his choice for secretary of state, several senior administration officials tell The Associated Press.
The personnel moves, coupled with Obama's coming choice for a new leader of the Central Intelligence Agency, will be viewed by U.S. allies and enemies alike as signal of how he will pursue national security in a second term. All of his choices will be subject to Senate confirmation, which itself is a significant factor in his decisions.
The top names under consideration for defense secretary are former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, former top Pentagon official Michele Flournoy, Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. Among those, Kerry is seen as desiring the secretary of state's job more.
While Obama has made no final decisions on Cabinet vacancies, announcements could come as soon as next week.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has made clear he did not intend to stay for a second term but he has never publicly discussed the timing of his departure, widely thought to be down the road in 2013. Yet Obama's thinking on Panetta's replacement has quietly advanced, aided by a strong list of candidates, officials said.
One senior U.S. official said Panetta is expected to stay on the job at least through the Jan 21 inauguration ceremony for Obama, another sign that the president is close to naming a new defense chief. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss internal White House thinking.
Far more political attention has centered on the chief diplomatic job of secretary of state.
Obama is believed almost certain to pick Kerry or U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, with Obama's considerations of his choice so closely held that even members of his innermost circle are asking each other which way he may go. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has long announced her plans to leave and hopes to do so soon.
The White House is considering packaging the state and defense choices with the flourish of a unified announcement, if the pieces come together. The president wants to choose nominees not just on their merits, the officials said, but on how well their styles and philosophy mesh with other members of the Cabinet who will hold overlapping portfolios.
That is particularly true for the leaders of state and defense. They are the top faces of his security apparatus, the leaders who bracket Obama at Cabinet meetings, the ones central to an integrated approach toward coping with international crises. Officials close to Obama said a joint announcement could present a stronger message.
For the State job, Obama has strong ties to both candidates. Rice is a close friend, and aides say the two are in lockstep on foreign policy. Kerry was an early backer of Obama during his 2008 presidential bid, a valuable envoy abroad, a help in his re-election bid and a contender to be his first secretary of state.
A big factor in Obama's decision is how much early capital he would have to spend on a confirmation fight. While Kerry has the backing of his longtime Senate colleagues, Rice is facing withering criticism from some Republicans for her initial account of the deadly attack on Americans in Benghazi, Libya, in September.
A contentious confirmation fight could send Rice into the job with weakened support and use up some of the tough votes he may need from allies in the Senate later. Still, Obama has already set a tone that he may choose Rice regardless.
A decision on new leadership for the CIA is not as urgent. That's partly because Acting Director Michael Morell is still dealing with the fallout of David Petraeus' resignation over an extramarital affair and the battles with lawmakers over the events that led to the death of four Americans in Libya.
Morell is highly respected within the administration and seen as a top contender.
Other candidates are the White House's top counterterrorism and homeland security advisor, John Brennan, and the Pentagon's top intelligence official, Undersecretary for Defense Intelligence Michael Vickers, a former CIA officer and Green Beret. Also possible is the former senator Hagel, should he miss out for the top Pentagon job. Hagel co-chairs Obama's intelligence advisory board and held senior positions on the Senate Intelligence and Foreign Relations committees.

Hack and / - Mutt and Virtual Folders
If you didn't already know, I'm a mutt-addict^H^H^H^H^Huser. At this point, I can't even remember when I started using mutt. All I do know is that every time I try another mail client, I just get frustrated by how long it takes to go through my e-mail. Well, that, plus try to navigate a GUI e-mail program with vi key bindings—it (usually) doesn't work.
Why try other mail clients if I love mutt so much? Well for one, some of the other mail clients do have a few interesting features, such as virtual folders. With a virtual folder, you can create a keyword search, and then all messages that match the search end up in a special folder you can browse. Well, it turns out, the same functionality is available in mutt if you use maildirs and are willing to do a little scripting.
One major problem with the default search abilities in mutt is that you can search within only one folder at a time. I store just about everything that's important in e-mail, and I have many different folders with even more procmail rules to sort incoming mail between them. The downside to this is occasionally I can't remember exactly in which folder a particular e-mail message is located.
The solution to the mutt search problem takes advantage of the fact that if you use maildirs on your mail server, each folder is a directory on the server, and each e-mail message is a file within that directory. Basically, a script can go through each of your folders and grep for your keyword and then create a new maildir with symlinks to any matching files. I named my solution maildirsearch, and it looks something like this:
#!/bin/sh MAILDIRS="$HOME/mail" VFOLDER="search" VFOLDERPATH="$MAILDIRS/$VFOLDER/cur/" FOLDERS=`ls $MAILDIRS | egrep -v "search|flagged"` rm -f $VFOLDERPATH/* for i in $FOLDERS do for j in `egrep -lR "$@" $MAILDIRS/$i` do ln -s $j $VFOLDERPATH/; done; done;
Next, I created another script called muttsearch that would execute my maildirsearch script, then open a new instance of mutt that reads the new virtual search folder. One nice feature of using this method is that I can see the search results grow within the mutt window and start reviewing results immediately:
#!/bin/sh VFOLDER="search" $HOME/bin/maildirsearch "$@" & sleep 1; mutt -f "=$VFOLDER" && killall maildirsearch >/dev/null 2>&1
Finally, I set up a key binding in mutt so that I could press Esc-S, type in a keyword (or regex) and start the search:
macro index \eS "<shell-escape>$HOME/bin/muttsearch \"" macro browser \eS "<shell-escape>$HOME/bin/muttsearch \""
Now, there is a downside to this script—it's designed to be run on the server that stores the messages. In my case, I use a tool called offlineimap to sync my remote e-mail server with my laptop, so I always have a copy of my messages locally. If you don't want to go that route, but want to be able to search from your local machine, you potentially could modify my muttsearch script so that it SSHes into your mail server and executes the script.
The script actually works well for me, but I realized after some time that I did a lot of the same searches over and over again. For instance, I am a heavy user of the "flag for follow-up" function in mutt. If you are in the message index and press the F key, it sets a flag on the message and displays an exclamation point in front of it. I use this to remind myself that I need to reply to a message. The downside to this is that I have to go to a particular folder regularly to see the flag, and sometimes I want to see all of my flagged messages at once. It turns out that the same virtual folder concept I used for my search works well for this too.
First, I created a script called flag-folder. When you flag an e-mail in a maildir system, the e-mail gets an F added after the last comma in the filename. Basically, my flag-folder script searches through all my maildirs for files that match the pattern and then symlinks those files into a new maildir named flagged:
#!/bin/sh # This script finds all the flagged e-mail in a # Maildir and symlinks them to a 'flagged' folder # in the Maildir. # To run it every 5 minutes, for instance, add the # following to the user's crontab: # # */5 * * * * /home/greenfly/bin/flag-folder MAILDIR="$HOME/mail/" # path to your maildir FLAGGED="${MAILDIR}/flagged/cur" # path to your # (precreated) flagged folder cd $FLAGGED rm ${FLAGGED}/* # find all the files in the maildir, then search for # flagged files (files with an F after the last comma # in the filename) and symlink them find ${MAILDIR} -type f | perl -ne '$foo = ""; $foo = ↪(split ",", $_)[-1] if(/,/); if($foo =~ /F/){chomp; ↪system "ln -s $_ .\n";}'
As you can see in the comments in the script, you also simply can set this up as a cron job on your mail server so that your flagged folder is updated constantly. Then, I created a script similar to my muttsearch script called muttflag that basically does the same functions, except for the flag-folder script:
#!/bin/sh VFOLDER="flagged" $HOME/bin/flag-folder & sleep 1; mutt -f "=$VFOLDER";
Finally, I created another key binding so that pressing Esc-F executes the muttflag script:
macro index \eF "<shell-escape>$HOME/bin/muttflag \n" macro browser \eF "<shell-escape>$HOME/bin/muttflag \n"
There are a lot of other possibilities when you use virtual folders in mutt. So far, the only big downside I have found is that because the script uses symlinks, any flags applied to messages within virtual folders don't apply to the real message. For instance, if you reply to a message within a virtual folder, it updates the filename for the symlink, but not the file it links to. Essentially, this means you lose that reply flag unless you go to the original folder and reply.
Apart from the downsides though, I'm pretty happy with virtual folders in mutt. Once again, it's faster than searches I've seen in other clients, plus I get to keep my vi key bindings, which you can have when you pry them from my cold, dead IBM Model M keyboard.

The effects of Ku Ding tea (Lactuca taiwaniana Maxim) and milk powder on biochemical and immunological parameters of Sprague-Dawley rats were investigated and the possibility of use of Ku Ding tea to reduce physiological discomfort of drinking milk powder was assessed. Eighty rats were randomly assigned to four treatments: basal diet (control), basal diet plus whole milk powder (WM), basal diet plus Ku Ding tea (KD) and basal diet plus whole milk powder and Ku Ding tea (MK). Data was collected on animals' final body weight, hematological values, blood biochemical parameters, antioxidation parameters and immune organ weight index. Results showed that final body weight of male KD was significantly lower than that of WM. White blood cell count, monocyte count and granulocyte count of KD rats were significantly lower than those of WM. Compared to the control, single milk powder supplementation numerically increased plasma malondialdehyde. The malondialdehyde in the male KD and MK rats were lower than those in WM and control, although the differences were not significant. No significant differences were found in Na+K+-adenosine triphosphatase activity, spleen and thymus index in each group. Consumption of Ku Ding tea appeared to lower lipid peroxidation that was induced by milk powder in the rats.
