Prospectus on Graduate Studies and Advising
Dan Binkley (email@example.com)
The quality of a graduate education depends in part on the quantity and quality of interactions between students and advisors (and between students and students!). Each student's experience in graduate education is unique, and advising expectations need to be developed through discussions between the student and advisor. This prospectus gives my general view of graduate education, providing a starting point for developing programs to suit each student.
Graduate education deals with developing knowledge, the ability to use knowledge, and the ability to think with creativity and skepticism. A Masters level education aims to develop a student's ability to participate in science, typically at the level of applying science (to natural resource issues, for example). A doctoral level education aims to produce scientists (professional or avocational). I have high expectations for student accomplishments, and work to help students achieve their goals.
A doctoral program is qualitatively different from a masters program – not just more of the same. Differences include greater rigor for a PhD -- not just in hours expended, but in accomplishments and abilities as a scientist.
Students gain knowledge and understanding from many parts of a university -- by hanging out with fellow students, in classes, in journals, and in research projects.
The advisor serves a double role in graduate programs. As a mentor, the advisor supports, encourages and nurtures each student's development. As a professor, the advisor also judges the accomplishment and potential of each student. Students should expect support from advisors, but this support may sometimes include uncomfortable criticism and challenges. Some students begin graduate work with a vision that turns out not to match the real program – such as the program requiring greater dedication, sharper thinking, broader knowledge, more skills in math or chemistry. The advisor is responsible for helping students develop their visions and accomplishments to meet the demands of the program. On rare occasion, the match just doesn't come, and the student and advisor need to discuss a transition out of the program.
Expectations for MS level students:
A student completing an MS program should:
A. Have personal motivation, curiosity, and enthusiasm for learning science;
B. Have a general, working knowledge of science, including its philosophy, methods, and current state;
C. Have a solid understanding of the state of science within the area of his or her interest;
D. Be able to understand and use basic statistics, sampling procedures, and analytical methods;
E. Be able to communicate clearly and effectively, in written and oral presentations;
F. Begin to read the literature; and
G. Reach these milestones:
1. Coursework plan developed by end of first semester.
2. Research plan developed by middle of second semester; file GS-6 form.
3. Steady progress on research
4. Submission of at least one paper for publication by the time of graduation, with a second near-ready for submission (alternatively, one large paper would be fine).
Expectations for PhD level students:
A student completing a PhD program should:
A. Have personal motivation, curiosity, and enthusiasm for becoming a scientist;
B. Have a broad knowledge of the philosophy, history, and current state of science;
C. Be competent in major techniques used in ecological research, including statistical, field, and laboratory methods;
D. Be an expert in the state of science within his or her specialty – ideally knowing more about the subject than the advisor knows!;
E. Be able to think clearly, critically, and creatively – beyond the level expected for MS-level students;
F. Routinely read the literature;
G. Be able to communicate clearly and effectively, in written and oral presentations; and
H. Reach these milestones:
1. Coursework plan developed by end of first semester;
2. Research plan developed by end of second semester; file GS-6 form;
3. Steady progress on research; and
4. Submission of one review paper for publication, and one original research paper before graduation; at least 2 more papers ready to submit near the time of graduation. For diversity, one original-data paper should deal with a topic outside the dissertation field. The number of papers would of course be flexible in cases where large (monograph) papers are produced. NOTE: The people who get good jobs tend to have 50-100% beyond this level of paper production during their PhD programs. Do you want a job?
Expectations for advising:
The graduate advisor should:
A. Take a personal interest in each student's education, including goals, areas of interest, and abilities;
B. Challenge each student to achieve;
C. Provide feedback on progress, critique written and oral presentations; a 2-week (or less) turnaround on review of student paper should be expected.
D. Provide insights on the inner workings of science – funding, personalities, publications, manuscript review and publication, proposal writing;
E. Financial support (to the extent possible), including tuition, stipend, research funds and travel to a variety of ecosystems and scientific meetings.
If a student uses graduate school to advance toward career goals, it's important to develop a clear idea of the professional playing field. Good job openings have many well-qualified competitors; a graduate program needs to produce graduates who are well positioned to win the competition. Four points of successful preparation for the job arena are:
A. Number of publications.
B. Presentations at meetings, and other direct ways of developing personal contacts with peers.
C. Quality of publications and presentations. This includes style -- but also pizzazz of the topic (hypothesis, question examined, context of the question, etc.)
D. Breadth and depth of experience, including multiple ecological questions and ecosystems.
In my experience, there are 3 "strategies" used by successful scientists:
A. I work very hard, so I'm successful.
B. I'm clever and efficient, so I'm successful.
C. I spend many hours on my favorite pastime, Science, so I'm successful and it doesn't feel like work (though I don't have much of a life…).
A graduate student needs to understand her own approach to the issues of how to achieve high productivity (with hours of toil, or with efficiency, or with abandon), and structure the graduate program accordingly. If a student is being very productive, I don't care if he takes a week in August to kayak. If a student is struggling, more hours of work are probably needed. The level of fun and enjoyment one finds in the dull, daily work of ecology may be a good indicator of whether a career in this direction is a good idea.
Words of warning: If your graduate program is not fun, and you're not being productive, think about changing career paths.
More words of warning: essentially all professional jobs in ecology require the juggling of multiple tasks daily – large blocks of time to focus on single projects are rare. Successful professionals are often good at juggling; frustrated and over-worked professionals are often poor jugglers. What's your style?
Where do research ideas come from?
General guidelines include:
A. Finding a research site that is begging to be measured for a great idea. Sometimes the availability of an on-going research site provides the fertile ground for a new test of an idea.
B. Discussing the state of knowledge, esp. the limitations, with fellow students and professors. The most fertile ground is often at the juncture of 2 fields. For example, ecosystem ecologists may have one view of productivity, and physiological ecologists another – are there any areas where the two fields bring different expectations to the forest? Such junctures can also include two levels of scale – can something that looks true at one scale be different at another?
C. Find an argument in the literature, and identify the corner of reality where one theory makes a prediction that is opposed by the other – set out to falsify something. If done well, this could form the basis of a review/synthesis article to publish.
D. Think about a more complete context than the one presented in a literature debate or a current research project. "If proposition 1 is true locally, what would be the implications for expectation A over there?" For biogeochemistry, these complete contexts include conservation of matter (you can't have a budget line item here that is inconsistent with another budget item over there…).
E. Think of an idea that we all hold to be self-evident, and ask if the evidence supports our credulity. Do we really understand the underlying processes, or just assume we do? If the expectation is logically sound, how well does the evidence support it?
Good topics have some of these characteristics:
A. The subject is of interest to peers, often with some implications for how populations, species, or ecosystems are sustained or managed.
B. Your approach is different from those used for similar questions in the past – your approach has an element of insightful testing (clarity or perhaps cleverness) that has been lacking. The power of your work might be stronger if it covers a bigger scale (working in 3 or 10 unrelated sites to test an idea), or a spatially explicit scale. Your approach would often benefit from modeling – but the value gained from modeling depends on how you go about it (in advance is better than after the fact), and whether you create the model as a constrained work of art, a tool, or a hypothesis to be falsified.
C. Your approach is risky – the idea is novel and fascinating enough that it may not be true. But what if you disprove your clever idea? I suggest 2 backup strategies: have a good descriptive story to tell (independent of the outcome of the hypothesis test), and have at least one solid side-project that can stand on its own.
One insomniacal night I typed out a list of case studies from my work (and from some of my students), identifying how the ideas developed. If you promise not to laugh, or to think the list is too biographically ego-centric, you can click on Binkley Case Studies.
Masters students should read several of the following books (or ones on similar topics); books with asterisks are especially recommended. Doctoral students should read 2X several. Biographies are included as a way to gain perspectives on how science really operates in social and cultural contexts.
EVERYONE with a career interest in Science should read Bill Bryson's book, A Short History of Nearly Everything – this is by far the best rendition of the big picture of Life, the Universe, and Everything. An educated ecologist needs to know where she sits in the universe, and how she got there.

Some Rules:
Each student benefits from our whole group, and I expect that students will be willing to help other students at particular times of need (such as a quick sampling trip that needs extra hands, or a particular lab analysis need). This also includes helping new students learn the ropes. I occasionally need help on a project that may not be directly funding a student, and I expect students to be willing to pitch in. This approach to helping others doesn't involve great time and effort, but it contributes a great deal to morale and accomplishing our goals.
Each student is responsible for:
· Knowing the safety rules of the lab, including personal safety, chemical safety, and hazardous waste requirements.
· Helping keep the lab clean, equipment in good shape (and accounted for).
· Backing up all computer files regularly, and storing the back-up disk or tape safely (away from the computer in case of theft).
Publication – unless a student's project is self-funded, the student has an obligation to see the work through to the end – which is defined as publication. If a student has not submitted a manuscript within a year of completion, I would like to have the right to take over the obligation. In such a case, the student would remain an author on the work – sometimes first author, sometimes second author. When I have had to write the papers from student projects, about ¾ of the time the student has remained the first author, and ¼ of the time I thought I couldn't justify leaving the student first.
Authorship – I subscribe to the commonly held ideas in scientific societies: authorship denotes major contributions in ideas or writing. Contributions of funding or labor alone are appropriately noted in acknowledgements. If a student develops a project very independently, I do not expect to be a coauthor. In general, I think PhD students should produce at least one substantial paper without the advisor as a coauthor. If I'm providing a good portion of the ideas or writing, then coauthorship may be appropriate. Senior authors (ie, students) should have the final say in deciding authorship; if disagreements arise, decisions should lean in favor of giving more credit to people at a junior career stage than a senior career stage.
Other ideas about graduate education from students and colleagues:
Ø Participation in national meetings is fundamentally important to developing a career in ecology (for insights, check out Indy Burke's article from the ESA Bulletin)
Ø Coauthoring papers with other graduate students is a great idea.
Ø Presentations of research ideas, and research findings, to the lab group is valuable.
Ø Professor should launch year with an introduction to expectations, the lab, current research, issues.
Ø Students should take advantage of opportunities to provide guest lectures in undergraduate classes (see Dan).
Ø Students
are expected to presentation research at the
Ø Students should plan on presenting research at regional or national science meetings (discuss with Dan).
Ø Ideas on graduate study from other professors (I don't agree with all the points – but good grist for your mill): Schulz and Knapp

Fine Art Auctioneers
Seller Terms and Conditions
Terms of consignment for sellers
1. Interpretation. In these terms the words 'you', 'yours', etc. refer to the seller and if the consignment of goods to us is made by an agent we assume that the seller has authorised the consignment and that the consignor has the seller's authority to contract. Similarly the words 'we', 'us', etc. refer to the auctioneers.
2. Commission will be charged at 17.5% plus VAT on all lots.
3. Removal costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the saleroom by any stated deadline and at your expense. We may be able to assist you with this process but any liability incurred to a carrier for haulage charges is solely your responsibility.
4. Loss and damage. Sworders is not authorised by the FSA to provide insurance to its clients, and does not so do. However, Sworders, for its own protection, assumes liability for property consigned to it at mid pre-sale estimate, until title passes to the buyer, or, at our valuation if no estimate has been agreed.
5. Catalogue illustration. Where lots are illustrated in the auction catalogue and/or on our website we reserve the right to make a charge for this service.
6. Removal of lots. Unsold lots must be removed within three days of the sale in which last offered unless explicit alternative arrangements have been made with the auctioneers. Lots not so collected will be removed to store at a cost of £20 per item and a storage fee of £1 per lot per day will become payable by the vendor from this time. If lots are not collected within 3 weeks of their being offered for sale, the auctioneers reserve the right to dispose of such lots and charge any expenses incurred to the vendor.
7. Minimum bids and our discretion. Goods may be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 8. We may sell lots below the reserve provided we account to you for the same sale proceeds as you would have received had the reserve been the hammer price. If you specifically give us a "discretion" we may accept a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve.
8. Reserves. You are entitled to place prior to the auction, a reserve on any lot consigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to offer goods which in our opinion would be subject to an unreasonably high reserve (in which case goods carry the storage and insurance charges stipulated in these terms of consignment).
(a) a reserve once set cannot be changed except without our consent.
(b) where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally.
9. Electrical items. These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of testing by external contractors. Goods not certified as safe by an electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.
10. Soft furnishings. The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. The rights of disposal referred to in clauses 9 and 10 are subject to the provisions of the Torts (interference with Goods) Act 1977, schedule 1, a copy of which is available for inspection on request.
11. Picture frames. Due to the fragile nature of picture frames, Sworders accept no responsibility whatsoever for any damage, howsoever caused, to picture frames whilst in our possession, either in the auction room, in store, or in transit
12. Descriptions. Please assist us with the accurate information as to the provenance etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with the seller if inaccuracies occur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to return the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under condition 15 of the conditions of sale and we have accounted to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds. The liability to reimburse the sale proceeds shall not arise where you are acting reasonably and honestly and are unaware of the forgery, but we are or ought to have been aware of it.
13. Unsold items. If an item is unsold it may with our consent be re-offered at a future sale. Where in our opinion an item is unsaleable you must collect such item from the saleroom promptly on being so informed, otherwise storage charges may be incurred. We reserve the right to charge for storage in these circumstances at a reasonable daily rate.
14. Withdrawn items. Items must be withdrawn by you in writing. Withdrawn lots are liable to incur a withdrawal fee if withdrawn after being catalogued and/or marketed by us. The withdrawal fee will be 30% of the low estimate plus VAT, plus any expenses incurred.
15. Conditions of sale. You agree that all goods will be sold on our conditions of sale. In particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods either as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and any buyer or third party for all losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking.
16. Authority to deduct commission and expenses and retain buyers' premium and interest.
(a) you authorise us to deduct commission at the stated rate, and all expenses incurred for your account, from the hammer price and consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the buyer in accordance with our conditions of sale, and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement.
(b) you authorise us, at our discretion, to negotiate a sale by private treaty, not later than the close of business on the day of the sale in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction, and so far as appropriate these terms apply.
17. Banking Details. Monies are held in G E S and Sons Limited clients' account with HSBC Bank, 18 North Street, Bishop's Stortford, Herts CM23 2LP. The account is interest bearing.
18. Settlement. After sale, settlement of the net sum due to you normally takes place within 21 days of the country house and specialist sales and fourteen days after the weekly interiors sale (by crossed cheque to the seller) unless the buyer has not paid for the goods. In this case no settlement will then be made but we will take your instructions in the light of our conditions of sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. You must note the liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in condition 12 above. You should therefore bear this potential liability in mind before parting with the proceeds of sale until the expiry of 10 days from the date of sale.
19. Data protection. Sworders will process and hold client details in accordance with the Data Protection Act guidelines and will not pass it to any other company or organisation unless legally required to do so.

I don't understand this assignment
Well, today during class we had an assignment to take a cool picture that an artist had made (strong poses mostly)...and...trace the silhouette then change what was inside it to something else.
The teacher said it was to help us understand strong silhouettes, but the entire time I wasn't even noticing the silhouette under my tracing paper... I was just focusing on not going out of the lines.
I kept thinking "wouldn't it be better to sit down and analyze why the silhouettes in the picture are strong"? I could see that actually helping me understand that aspect of design (breaking it down to exactly why something falls flat, or why it pops based on its silhouettes).... but just doodling (thats exactly what he said we should be doing) inside the lines was just ...crazy?
Apparently we were told to think of something else, not about what we were working on (WTF?! I am constantly told by concept artists that you need to think about EVERYTHING when designing the details of a concept... thinking about why this part is there, how it connects, what is it made of... everything).
And then there is the issue that this method of doodle detailing down the entire figure from top to bottom also goes against what I have been told about working "big to small". Working out the bigger forms, then working out the medium ones...and finally at the very very end start messing with the tiny details.
It seemed like the entire assignment was either A) completely not helping in the aspect it was meant to (silhouettes) or B) was actually going AGAINST everything I had been learning about how to draw up till that point.
Is it me? Is there some hidden something that I am missing? Or is it just a crazy method that I will mess around with for a couple days and then throw it away because...well.. it's not a very strong way to approach designing?
I really really don't want to be one of those artists that can only create by ridding the backs of other real artists (ripping off their composition and silhouette understanding). I want to learn how to do really do it... not how to fake it and hope no one notices how little I can really do on my own....

The assignment, I think, was just a way to help you see the strength of the silhouette (as in, it reads even if filled with nonsense doodling). It was not about what you put inside the silhouette at all, you're overthinking it.
It's like saying 'I don't get blind contour drawing, am I not supposed to build structure first, and stuff': no, you're not. It's an exercise to make you SEE, nothing more. It probably won't even take you more than ten minutes.
When you'll actually have to insert a silhouette into one of your works, you'll make sure it reads as the pose you meant even without filling in the inside with the figure.

As the above poster spelled out (twice) the assignment is designed to teach the compositional importance of a powerful silhouette: The idea being that it retains its gravitas and compositional effect regardless of what has been placed within it, whether it happens to be photorealistic or truly mindless scribbles. Th power of the image is in the placement of each element rather than the intricate minutiae. THis is what you must learn through this assignment: The power of grand shapes as opposed to minute doodles and details. The power of a well-thought-out composition.

January 30th, 2010 #5
Blacking out the figure entirely and just examining the silhouette would have accomplished the goal of showing how interesting a picture can be just based on its silhouette.
Or taking a bunch of silhouettes and talking through each one to identify where they went right and where it was off....then trying to put it into practice by creating our own silhouettes.
But, doodling inside someone elses silhouette (not even thinking about the silhouette) for 3 hours...and then taking it home for homework and coloring it in to finish it (another couple hours)... all so we can sit back and go "yup, a good silhouette is important...you were right teacher!!" ? I don't get it. No one in the class is saying silhouette isn't important... so, why not actually teach us how to do it instead of a lengthy drawn out process to "prove" something everyone hopefully knows?
Hmm, I guess that is the part that bugs me the most.
The biggest issue is the class isn't even scheduled to actually dive into the aspects of silhouette later!!! So he proves a silhouette is important and then just moves on?? We are moving onto other "production tools" next class! Like doing the same tracing on a street corner and then changing parts to make it our "own" street corner.
Is it just whacky that I actually want to learn how to do this stuff and not just trace over someone else who really knows it?
How can you rip off someone's understanding...?
I sure don't learn the aspects of great composition by doing that. I just rip of the guy who put in the work for a single piece...and then the next assignment I have to do I'm still at square 1 with little understanding about how to actually do it myself.
I would rather actually attempt to do it with some guidance and make a crappier piece (but be a step ahead from where I started) than just trace off someone elses work and be at the same place when I was finished....
This is school... I'm here to get better, I'm not here to just get the work done. In a work environment, growth is secondary and the product is primary. But in school, the growth is completely primary!!

It seems like your just having problems with the way it's being taught. Best advice is to suffer through and learn everything you can from the process. Good or bad.
SECONDS: Do you work from life of photographs?
FRAZETTA: I work from my head.
January 30th, 2010 #7
You can always take assignments and make them fit into the realm of your interests. If you don't take the assignments and add your personal goals to them, school is going to suck very hard and you won't learn anything. Not every assignment is going to cater to your specific plans for growth.

Join us this week as we focus on the Watts Towers, to reveal all the things you DON'T already know about this unique folk art environment in south Los Angeles. We'll visit with conservator Sylvia Dorsch to learn about the work the Los Angeles County Museum of Art has undertaken to stabilize and strengthen the site. Then we'll talk with tile expert Brian Kaiser about his sleuthing of the sources of the mosaic fragments that decorate the Towers, and why Watts was the ideal place for such an unlikely structure to happen.
We'll also discuss the tragic alteration of the mid-century signage at Vernon's La Villa Basque restaurant, a Gershwin home demolished in spite of Beverly Hills' new historic preservation ordinance, a new plan for restoring the Salton Sea, a provocative community history project for South El Monte and El Monte, the clash of old and new at Grand Central Station, problems with landmarking Johnie's Coffee Shop, the Grand Avenue plan hits an aesthetic wall, a consciousness expanding Bonnie Cashin lecture at UCLA, and grave concerns about the Bucket, a programmatic burger joint in Eagle Rock. All this and more as Kim and Richard usher in the week of October 7th, 2013.

Weekend Wrap-Up: Storm Doesn't Slow Down Thief's Start
February 12th, 2013
It was a great week at the box office, all things considered, with Identity Thief crushing expectations and all of the holdovers matching theirs. Only Side Effects struggled at the box office. This helped the overall box office climb 18% from last week to $104 million. This was 47% lower than the same weekend last year; however, this weekend last year was Valentine's weekend, which is one of the biggest non-holiday weekends of the year, so the comparison isn't fair. As I predicted last week, the lead 2013 had built up has evaporated and it is now 1.2% lower than 2012 at $1.05 billion to $1.06 billion. Since Valentine's Day is this Thursday, we should make up the difference quickly.
Identity Thief dominated the box office chart in a way almost no box office analyst had predicted. It earned first place with $34.55 million, which was just over three times the nearest competitor and nearly double what some analysts were expecting. It was also the 14th biggest February opening of all time. It managed all of this despite earning weaker than expected reviews. Even if the film has short legs, it will earn a profit sooner rather than later.
Warm Bodies held on well down just 44% to $11.36 million over the weekend for a total of $36.48 million after two. Its good reviews obviously helped, while it should get a boost from Valentine's day to further pad its box office numbers, even with the stiff competition.
Side Effects could only manage third place with $9.30 million. The excellent reviews and the reports of Steven Soderbergh didn't help the film, while its per theater average is low enough that theater owners likely won't want to keep it around long enough for its word-of-mouth to build. Perhaps it will find an audience on the home market, but its theatrical run won't be enough to break even.
Silver Linings Playbook added $6.43 million over the weekend and its running tally has reached $89.52 million after three months of release. At this pace, getting to $100 million will be easy, but it will drop out of the top five before then. Maybe if it surprises at the Oscars and becomes the big winner, it will pop back into the top five, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters earned $5.75 million over the weekend for a total of $43.84 million after three weeks in theaters. It is closing in on its production budget and it is doing twice the business internationally, so it will break even sooner rather than later.
Bullet to the Head was the only member of the sophomore class not in the top five, as it landed in tenth place with $2.08 million over the weekend and just $8.27 million after two. With a per theater average of just $864 and direct competition opening on Thursday, it will all but disappear from theaters shortly.

JOHNSON COUNTY, Iowa - The Johnson County Auditor's co-workers pelted him with water balloons Friday afternoon to raise money for a good cause.
The money will go toward helping pay for cancer treatment for a five-month-old baby in Missouri. Landon has a rare form of cancer.
A Facebook page called "Take the Plunge for Landon" is asking anyone who wants to take the plunge to take a video of it and challenge someone else.
Johnson County Auditor Travis Weipert says Page County Auditor Melissa Welhausen challenged him. Weipert says he faced about 70 water balloons on Friday and plans to challenge someone else to help Landon.

Armed with nothing more than his creativity, multi-talented Ivorian artist Pokou has embraced a mission as 'conscience raiser for the youth'. He claims this role with an absolute sincerity and humour that are his defining characteristics.
"Ivorian society is losing its identity and values, and the youth are being misled. They believe that success and a good life can only be achieved through politics," says 32-year-old artist/comedian/humourist/scriptwriter/director Jean-Eudes Pokou.
According to him, young Ivorians need someone to show them that there are other ways to succeed in life. "I am determined to fight that battle," says Pokou, who rejects the label of socially engaged artist. "To say some artists are engaged implies others are not. All artists are engaged in one way or another." Pokou is multi-talented, working in many different disciplines, but doesn't prefer one art form over another. "It's like asking a father which one of his sons he loves most. I do everything," says the graduate of INSAAC, the National Higher Institute of Arts and Cultural Action in Abidjan, Ivory Coast's largest city.
Message behind the jokes
Beyond the humour, Pokou's work is a serious look at the human condition and the need for urgent action. He questions the integrity of Ivorian governance while conveying his frustrations, plight and hopes.
"My goal is not only to make people laugh for the sake of it. Laughter is certainly therapeutic, but more important than that is the message, because it brings about change," says Pokou, who hopes his jokes about politicians will raise political awareness.
Politics and corruption
Pokou abhors the corruption that "gangrenes Ivorian society." Recently, on his way back to Abidjan from a theatre tour across the country, he confronted a police officer who was trying to extort money from one of the passengers at a roadblock, over his allegedly 'expired' ID. While all the other passengers in the bus remained silent, Pokou spoke up and successfully helped the passenger recover his ID without having to bribe the policeman.
Priceless silence
When asked what it would cost to silence his critical voice, Pokou explodes with laughter. "No one can afford it. It's priceless. As long as I breathe and live, I cannot be silenced. I can't imagine myself not doing what I am currently doing. There are many things in our society that need to change. Every time I have an opportunity to bring about a change of mentality in my fellow Ivorians, I will speak out."

The most common Moringa product is dried Moringa leaf powder. Moringa leaves are considered to be the most nutritious part of the Moringa oleifera tree. The leaves are picked every few months, dried at low temperatures, and shredded into an easily digested powder. The powder is placed into capsules which are bottled and sold as nutritional supplements. The amazing nutrient density of Moringa oleifera leaves make these capsules an ideal source of vitamins, minerals, complete plant protein, and powerful antioxidants.
Moringa leaf powder is also sold in bulk - usually in half-pound or one pound bags. As a powder, Moringa can be used in a variety of ways. Many recipes from the East, including Indian, Philippine, and Malaysian recipes, use Moringa leaf powder to thicken sauces, add a nutty flavor, and provide nutrients to the meal. Because Moringa leaves contain a full amino acid profile, the powder is also an excellent protein supplement for cattle that require additional protein in their feed mix.
The powdered leaf of the Moringa oleifera plant is a nutrient-rich dietary supplement, containing amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

Saturday, Sept. 19 at Brown, Providence, R.I., 4:00 p.m.
- The Holy Cross volleyball team
will play four matches this week. The Crusaders will play at
Central Connecticut on Tuesday, Sept. 15 and then conclude regular
season tournament play when they compete at the Brown Invitational
on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 18-19. Holy Cross will meet
tournament host Brown on Friday at 7:30 p.m., while on Saturday it
will take on Stony Brook at 1:00 p.m. and Brown for a second time
at 4:00 p.m. The Crusaders fell to Central Connecticut last year at
the Holy Cross Field House, 3-2, by scores of 23-25, 25-11, 25-15,
23-25 and 15-13.
- Junior setter Chelsey
O'Donnell (Pittsburgh, Pa.) now has 1,688 career assists
which move her to third on the Holy Cross all-time assists list.
She had two double-doubles on the week as she now has three for the
season and 14 for her career. O'Donnell's 38 digs and 2.92 digs per
set led the team for the week.
- O'Donnell, along with senior
Samantha Surface (Fresno, Calif.), was named to
the Beanpot Classic All-Tournament Team. O'Donnell also earned this
honor last year, while this marks the third time during her career
that she has been named to a regular season all-tournament team.
This was the first time that Surface has made an all-tournament
team while at Holy Cross.
- Freshman Megan Lynch
(Mendham, N.J.) recorded her first collegiate
double-double with 16 kills and 10 digs as Holy Cross defeated
Bryant, 3-1. Her 39 kills and 3.00 kills per set ranked first on
the team for the week, while her 68 kills and 2.52 kills per set
for the season lead the team.
- As of Sept. 14, Holy Cross' 1.63 service aces per set are the third most in the Patriot League. Junior Angela Chisholm (Millis, Mass.) has 3.22 digs per set which are seventh on the Patriot League leaders list, while O'Donnell's 0.41 service aces per set are seventh and Chisholm's 0.37 service aces per set are tied for ninth. Sophomore Kathleen Colpoys (Scituate, Mass.) has a .246 hitting percentage which is ranked ninth around the league.

I may not be on to put up my roster from now until Friday so I am going to go ahead and post it here.
Turner's Big Boy's
125 Triggas v Kent State 1/4
133 Tanelli v Lonestar Duals 1/5
141 Ettelson v Chattanooga and Kennesaw State 1/6
149 Ervin v Lonestar Duals 1/5
157 Oliver (or back-up) v Oregon State 1/4
165 Flanagan (or back-up) v Lonestar Duals 1/5
174 Gavin v Duquesne and Franklin and Marshall 1/5
184 Caputo v Lonestar Duals 1/5
197 Michalek v Hofstra and Edinboro 1/6
Hwt Bergman v Kent State 1/4
Flex: Weitzel v Lonestar Duals 1/5
I think Lonestar Duals are potentially three matches each if people show up (Harvard) and assuming coaches want their guys wrestling all three matches that week. I think I can expect 20-23 matches next week.

I am a big fan of "Keep me logged in" (on Facebook), "Remember Me" (on Twitter), and "Stay signed in" (on Google). It's convenient to stay logged into my favorite sites on trusted computing devices. As is so often the case when it comes to online privacy, there's a trade-off for that convenience. It means those sites collect info about you as you surf the Web, thanks to their social widgets that are increasingly populating the websites you visit.
Not sure what a social widget is? Glance to the right, where you'll see widgets for Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Digg, and LinkedIn. Even if you don't give this article a little social media love over there, those widgets are still noting that you're here reading this, if you're signed into one of those accounts.
The Wall Street Journal offers a detailed report on how the technology works and why you wind up getting tracked:
Widget makers say the collection of users' Web-browsing activity is an unintended side effect of how the tools work. In order to show a user which of their online friends "liked" a particular article, for example, the widget must know who the user is.
To determine the prevalence of widgets and how they collect information, the Journal asked Brian Kennish, a former Google engineer, to examine the 1,000 most-popular websites, as ranked by Google's advertising network. Mr. Kennish last year launched Disconnect Inc., which offers software to block data collection by widgets.
Mr. Kennish's study examined more than 200,000 Web pages on the top 1,000 sites. He found Facebook obtained browsing data from 331 sites, and Google obtained data from 250 sites, some of it from its Buzz widget. Twitter got browsing information from about 200 sites.
Google and Facebook tell the WSJ that they anonymize the browsing data, while Twitter "deletes it quickly." If you're worried about this kind of tracking, you can trade convenience for privacy and log out of these sites after you're done checking your email, tweeting, poking, or what have you.

U-T profiles of notable local people
A: I founded MFE in 1998 when I was invited to teach a 12-week songwriting workshop at a school for homeless kids. I ended up working as a full-time, unpaid volunteer for three years. Today, Street of Dreams/Musicians for Education provides creative and educational support for high-risk youth in urban San Diego.
Q: What have you learned by working with these kids?
A: Alcoholism, drug addiction and poverty as a combined factor is just about an impossible situation to succeed from. We are talking about a social disease that I believe should be viewed as a medical problem — our justice system views it as criminal activity. The message here is "education not incarceration."
Q: Before returning to San Diego in 1990, you were a working musician. Tell us a bit about what that was like.
A: I started a band called The Teresa Gunn Group. We developed a following, got nominated for some awards, recorded records for a few indie labels, and really had a good time opening for bands like The Romantics, Warren Zevon, David Johansen (of The New York Dolls), Ziggy Marley and lots of wonderful artists who were popular at the time. It was a wild time.
Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to find out about you?
A: I am the best grandmother that ever lived.
Q: Please describe your ideal San Diego weekend.
A: Imperial Beach, the pier, then dinner at Jalisco Cafe.

Classic Swiss Fondue
Serves: 6
These ingredients are:
Vegetarian Corn-free Egg-free Peanut-free Soy-free Tree nut-free
Fondue originated in the mountains of Switzerland as an after-ski warmer. It can be enjoyed by large groups or intimately by candlelight. Paired with a simple brew of hot-spiced wine, fondue makes a perfect mid-winter meal.
- 1 clove garlic, halved Add to list
- 1 1/4 cups dry white wine, such as Neuchatel or Sauvignon Blanc Add to list
- 13 ounces Gruyère cheese, coarsely grated (about 4 cups) Add to list
- 13 ounces Emmental cheese, coarsely grated (about 4 cups) Add to list
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour Add to list
- 2 to 4 tablespoons Kirsch Add to list
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste Add to list
- 2 1/2 pounds crusty bread, cut into cubes (7 to 8 cubes per person) Add to list
Rub cut garlic around the inside of the fondue pot. Pour in wine and bring it to a boil on the stove. Reduce heat to a simmer.
Put grated cheeses into a bowl, add flour and toss well. Gradually add cheeses to the wine, stirring constantly and letting each addition of cheese melt. When the mixture is creamy and smooth, add Kirsch and pepper to taste.
Transfer the pot to its tabletop burner. To eat, spear a piece of bread on a fondue fork, then dip it into the cheese mixture, swirling the fork in a figure-eight to keep the fondue smooth.

Expanding population requires planning wisdom
Charles Dickens' classic A Tale of Two Cities starts with the iconic line: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Though much less tumultuous than the events that frame Dickens' novel, Calgary is today faced with the paradox of a resource boom making Calgary the country's wealthiest city, and unwelcome development pressures that are threatening the sustainability of our city and its neighbourhoods.
The 2009 Municipal Development Plan, known as Plan It, forecast a doubling of Calgary's population in the next 60 years — 1.2 million new Calgarians. The big question is where to put all of these newcomers. Plan It's compromise is to put half of them on the edges of the city in new suburbs (greenfield development) and half of them in established communities.
At the edge of the city it's relatively straightforward. City council has already approved area structure plans and community plans for hundreds of thousands of newcomers. Greenfield developers are well practiced at building suburbia.
Meanwhile, Plan It envisions most of the growth in established communities to occur along transportation corridors. Calgary has a long-standing Transit Oriented Design (TOD) policy that supports that vision, calling for more density, mixed-use development (homes, shops and offices), and improved public realms (plazas, wider sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure).
It makes sense, but the devil is in the details. When the plan becomes a reality in a particular community, that's when the second-guessing starts. Everybody thinks it's a good idea in somebody else's community.
A good example of how this policy plays out is the community of Hillhurst-Sunnyside. In response to the TOD policy and in anticipation of development intensification, the city spent three years working with residents to remodel the Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) to accommodate higher density urban development.
Very soon after the new ARP was accepted by council, and faster than almost anybody imagined, Hillhurst-Sunnyside is experiencing an extreme makeover. There are two eight-storey mixed-use condominium towers well under way. There are at least another 13 major projects at some stage of the development process — from first explorations with the community, to actually making their way through city hall approvals. These projects total over one million square feet (half the size of The Bow tower) and 843 dwellings (1,517 people) — an 18 per cent growth in the community's population.
And the community is feeling the heat. One of the promises of the ARP-TOD was that redevelopment would come with aggressive public space enhancement — a key feature of the TOD policy. That promise has hit a glitch in recent months. Just as development is heating up, city hall lawyers have deemed the development levy envisioned to pay for public realm improvements unenforceable under the Municipal Government Act. Developers are balking at paying it and the city is scrambling to introduce an enforceable alternative.
At the same time, the old adage "give them an inch and they will take a mile" is evident in the development process. Most new development proposals start by maximizing the allowable square feet of space on a given piece of land. From there, almost invariably, developers make an argument for why they should get more.
Meanwhile, as development plans roll in, very little uptake is evident on all of the coulds, shoulds and if-you-feel-like-its of the ARP. Things like green building design, car-sharing programs to reduce auto density, and affordable units are conspicuously absent.
Plan It, and imagineCalgary before it, made an unassailable case of why we need to intensify development in existing communities, and Calgarians support the vision. If done well, intensification will make for better communities, but it could go sideways fast if the pace of development overwhelms city hall's finite planning resources. But nobody wants that. With 600,000 new people coming to existing communities, these first makeovers, in places like Hillhurst-Sunnyside, have to get it right or else the Plan It strategy will be dead in the water.
One solution is for the city to assign and locate city planners in the community long term — not unlike the idea of a beat cop — to get to know the community, its residents and the development realities in intimate detail. Another solution is allocating more power to the people. In Hillhurst-Sunnyside, the innovative and wildly successful Bow to Bluff initiative demonstrated the capacity of citizens to engage the community in the planning process. So why not give communities a bigger role? Communities deserve to be at the table with the city and the developers every step of the way.
There is a lesser-known phrase in that opening sentence of A Tale of Two Cities : "it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness." The city made a wise decision when it adopted Plan It. To not back up the decision with diligence, adequate resources and attention to detail would indeed be foolish.

Individual Tutoring – One-on-One tutoring at our learning center
One-on-One tutoring is an optimal approach to standardized test preparation. Gateway examinations such as the ACT and SAT test a wide variety of skills in an exhausting and nerve-racking manner. Students bring different strengths and challenges to these tests. Tutors will work with students to develop a tutoring program that meets the individual needs of the students. Students will learn effective strategies for approaching the tests, as well as gain confidence in their abilities to tackle difficult exams. One-on-One tutoring is currently available for the ACT, SAT, SSAT, ISEE, GMAT, and GRE.
One-on-One at-home or at-school tutoring
Students and families are at times best served with tutoring at their homes or at their schools. An individual program can be provided at these locations.
Small Group Tutoring – Individualized program in a small group setting
Small group tutoring is a highly effective way for students to build academic, study, and organization skills. It also enables students to model the effective behaviors they observe in the group and empowers them to become a positive model for other students. Children experience a stress-free and comfortable environment where they are taught necessary skills and then can practice these skills independently in a format designed to transfer to the "real-life" school experience.
Children meet with tutors in the group setting for approximately three hours at a time, a time frame which allows for organization, teaching, and completion of a significant amount of school work. Tutors with expertise in elementary and most secondary academic courses are available during these group sessions. The average student-teacher ratio during group work is three to one.

3 inch Diffuser Discs for SuperTrapp 3S Series, 12-pack
SuperTrapp 3S Series Resonator with long J-Bolt
3 inch Diffuser Discs for SuperTrapp 3S Series, 3-pack
SuperTrapp 1.50" Clamp-On Flange with End Cap for 3S Series
Red Line Synthetic Motor Oil
"Pegasus has prompt, courteous service. Good company to work with!" W.W. from South Carolina
SuperTrapp mufflers are the only USDA Forest Service Approved spark arrestors that do not rely on restrictive swirl baffles or fragile screens. Sparks are funnelled into a collection chamber in the end cap, while exhaust gases exit between special diffuser discs. Even if the collection chamber filled to capacity, the small 0.023" gap between the discs still provides a back-up layer of spark protection.
The 3" diameter SuperTrapp 3S Series muffler is recommended for engines up to 10 HP, but it can also be used on engines up to 50 HP where compact size is a greater concern than noise reduction. An optional 3S Series Resonator (Part No. ST-3S-5500, sold separately) can be added to further reduce noise without affecting power. The 3S can also be installed after a conventional muffler in installations where maximum muffling is required. In fact, it can be tuned so quietly that mechanical engine noise may drown out the exhaust note!
This kit includes a clamp-on flange to fit a 1 3/4" diameter exhaust pipe, clamp, end cap with collection chamber, and center retaining bolt.
Requires diffuser discs, sold separately:
3-Pack of 3 inch Diffuser Discs (Part No. ST-3S-6503)
12-Pack of 3 inch Diffuser Discs (Part No. ST-3S-6512)
Typical installations should use 1 disc per 3 horsepower for proper back pressure (e.g., a 10 HP engine should use 3 discs). Using fewer discs will further reduce noise but will also cause some power loss. More discs should be used on engines rated below 2400 rpm, or if the 3S will be used in conjunction with an existing muffler.
Optional resonator sold separately:
SuperTrapp 3S Resonator (Part No. ST-3S-5500)
Adding this resonator will reduce sound levels by 3 to 5 dbA without restricting power. For the most effective muffling, start by adding the resonator before subtracting diffuser discs.

Fedora 13 review
Fedora 13 is the latest update to the Redhat-sponsored, RPM-based Linux distribution. It has long held a reputation of being a testbed for features that will eventually make it into Redhat Enterprise Linux, and, therefore, less stable than other desktop-oriented distributions. And I think that's one reason why Fedora has features that you'll not find on other desktop-focused distributions.
It's not a distribution that works out of the box, but if you are willing to spend an hour or so tweaking it, you can get it to the point where it just works. With this short review, I'll present some of this distro's best features, features that may entice potential users. I'll also give a listing of those features that are not very well implemented, or are missing and would, therefore, create usability issues for users – especially new users.
Let's begin with the features I think will make you love this distro:
- Anaconda – This is the graphical installation program for Fedora. It is, in my opinion, one of the most advanced graphical installation programs you are ever going to find on any distribution. Why do I think so? Let me list the reasons:
- It's all point-and-clicky. Very clean, intuitive interface.
- Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is the default disk partitioning scheme. LVM brings a level of flexibility to disk management on Linux that is not possible with the old method.
- Anaconda makes it very easy to encrypt the hard disk, thereby making it very easy for you to enhance the physical security posture of your computer.
- With Anaconda, it is possible to password-protect GRUB, the boot loader. Password-protecting the boot loader is one method you may use to achieve a higher physical security rating for your Fedora-powered computer.
- With its advanced storage features, Anaconda makes it possible to install or upgrade to local and remote storage devices.
- You can customize application packages that you want installed.
- Network Time Protocol may be enabled during the installation phase.
- Advanced Firewall GUI – Fedora 13 has an advanced and easy to use graphical firewall management tool that is installed and enabled out of the box.
- Excellent update manager and update notifier that informs you in a non-intrusive manner when there are available updates that you need to install.
- Package Manager – Fedora's graphical package manager is just as easy to use as any other. It does not have the visual appeal of Ubuntu's Software Center, but it gets the job done.
- Hardware detection seems better than Ubuntu's. My old webcam which Ubuntu could not detect worked like a charm on Fedora 13.
- No Automatic Login – Automatic login makes it possible to, well .. log in automatically whenever you reboot your computer. It's a very bad practice that I do not encourage. Luckily, the Users and Groups graphical management tool on Fedora 13 does not have this "features."

*It has long held a reputation of being a testbed for features that will eventually make it into Redhat Enterprise Linux, and, therefore, less stable than other desktop-oriented distributions*
I don't agree with that statement. I have used Linux since around 8 years my first distro was Mandrake 9.0. Tried Mandrake/Mandriva/Suse, Mepis, Ubuntu, Mint and even Vector and counterpart Slackware.
Stayed with Fedora the longest! Starting with f11 now F13. It's the most stable I've had out of all of the mentioned. Hasn't had not one single X crash.
This is enough to make me convinced Fedora is ready for the desktop.
I hope i don't have to recreate my 3g Internet connection every time start up like ubuntu 9.10. It connect successfully but no Internet activity ie ping if i login for the 2nd time. i need 2 recreate a new 3g connection if i want 2 go online successfully. weird?
I liked the auto-login feature. As a home computer, it is a pain to login to everything (keyring, etc…).
SELinux is hard for most people to wrap their head around. For a simple desktop user who is their own sysadmin, SELinux seems to be more of a pain that a tool. To a professional sysadmin with hundreds or thousands of web facing machines or mission critical servers, SELinux stops security problems by partitioning applications from network ports, users from applications, and root from breaking things. Even if a user managed to exploit a privilege escalation exploit, SELinux won't allow the transition. A user must KNOW the root password to run newrole and become the secadm to change SELinux settings.
The advise of "turn it off" has been given far to flippantly in the past and it continued here in a review. That puts the reviewer in the "amateur" column of users.
Fedora is the leading edge of what the next generation of RedHat will be. That is certainly the truth. But it is only by pushing that envelope that the entire Linux field progresses.
So quit your whining an learn how to use SELinux. You will benefit and the entire Linux community will move forward. RedHat made the first move to use elf formatted binaries. All the other distros soon followed after they groused for 6 months. Using SELinux will require more than a drive reformat so the adoption cycle is longer. But it puts the system security well above the offerings of Windows and Mac systems. I like knowing that "bad people" can't do "bad things" to my servers.
I like fedora, but for a computer that I use for reading the likes of this, what do you knead a password protected login and then turn off selinux.
This is MY computer, NOT yours, so let me do what I want with it, I want to autologin and turn the firewall off and selinux off, If I wanted all that security I would use windows. HA
Webcam support is kernel and not distro specific, whatever cams that work in Fedora also work in Ubuntu Lucid.
Not if Fedora is using a .33 or 34 kernel and Ubuntu is stuck on .32
In that case any distro with even newer kernel would have the advantage, sidux was released few days back and has latest 2.6.34 kernel so I am sure it would have even better support.
XBMC can be installed from the RPMFusion repositories for Fedora.
The review request explains why it could not be added to the default Fedora repositories:
