Bengal Sketchbook
hola hola!
most people who wondered where i went all this time, might have understood that i had become a comics author here in france, so the international community couldn't really see my work anymore.
that always saddened me, plus it's not up to me to get my books translated, and it rarely happens in the french publishing industry... alas.
anyway, here's maybe one book that might interest some of you! a small format artbook with lots of my work, mostly from my CA years, it's released very soon.
long live the community, cheers! ;] (sorry if this isn't the proper section)

Cheers Gray

thanks a lot! yeah as i said, i'm still working, but my comics are released only in france... it's about zero exposure for you guys around the world. which saddens me.
July 6th, 2011 #5
I love your work Bengal, as do a lot of others.
My french is rather rusty, but if I understand it correctly, shipping anywhere outside France will cost as much if not more than the actual price of the book, which is already kinda pricey at 15 for 48 pages imo.
You very likely have no influence or say on that matter, but it's still a shame.

ahhh~~ yeah that might be a problem. i didn't know. look, maybe it's worth checking on amazon or something like this, if they have it, the shipping would VERY likely be much smaller.
sorry, it's indeed not in my powers to influence this. ;[

Received it this weekend and it was well worth the wait. Thanks for the heads up. Just love your style so much.
Also, I love that you got all kinds of Lego on your shelf, assuming that's your work area.

I was in forbidden planet in dublin today and was suprised to see Bengal's sketchbook. It's lovely. So if you can't justify the massive shipping it might be worth your while to check if there's one near you.

- Subjects:Classroom Management, Teacher Tips and Strategies
Interactive Bulletin Board Idea: Reader's Choice
By Beth Newingham on January 8, 2013
- Grades: 3–5
Each month I choose a picture book for my students to review. As each student reads the book, they move their picture below a "Thumbs Up" sign or below a "Thumbs Down" sign according to their personal evaluation of the book.
I also use a separate basket to hold the multiple copies of the chosen book so that students can easily acquire the book when copies become available.
It is fun for students to observe the display throughout the month as they keep track of their classmates' votes for thumbs up or thumbs down.
Comments (1)
January 11, 2014 at 10:27 p.m.
Are the templates for the "thumbs up/down" available? I copied them once from Scholastic's website, but they have faded. I need new ones, but can't seem to find the website for them.
Love this bulletin board!

OSLCE Initiatives
OSLCE Initiatives
Although faculty members and community partners are free to work together on any mutually agreed upon project, OSLCE tries to provide faculty/community continuity by creating relationships within key initiatives. Faculty members are currently engaged in projects in city labs and sustainability, civil rights, educational access, the Phillips Scholarship, and public health.
Key OSLCE Initiatives
Although faculty members and community partners are free to work together on any mutually agreed upon project, OSLCE tries to provide faculty/community continuity by creating relationships within key initiatives. Faculty members are currently engaged in projects in city labs and sustainability, civil rights, educational access, the Phillips Scholarship, and public health.
City Labs and Sustainability Initiatives
Sustainable Food Systems is a new initiative focused on coordinating faculty, courses, and student community work to tackle big food-related issues in the community. Using the Triple Bottom Line model of people, planet, and prosperity, the initiative hopes to mimic the success of the UST HIV/AIDS initiatives by direct engagement with a critical social issue of our time. Faculty, staff, and student ideas are welcome.
For more information, contact Elise Amel, Director of Environmental Studies and Associate Professor, Industrial/Organizational Psychology at 651-962-5046 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Civil Rights Initiatives
In June of 2010, the Community Justice Project of University of St. Thomas' Law School and the St. Paul NAACP were awarded the prestigious Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Partnership Award by Minnesota Campus Compact to honor their outstanding work and to highlight the work of effective campus-community partnerships that address critical public issues. Click here for to read more about this award in St. Thomas' Bulletin Today.
In 2006, the Community Justice Project and the St. Paul Chapter of the NAACP formed a partnership to work collaboratively on behalf of communities of color to challenge laws and policies that negatively impact these communities. Through collaborative efforts, the Community Justice Project and the St. Paul Chapter of the NAACP have engaged law students, local youth, and other community members in addressing current civil rights issues. They have increased dialogue and improved relations between law enforcement and communities of color. Together the CJP and NAACP have written key reports that have led to systemic changes. Three concrete changes that have resulted because of their collaboration:
- One report laid the foundation for a partnership with Aurora/St. Anthony Neighborhood Development Corporation to develop Brotherhood, Inc., a comprehensive support system for young African-American males who've been involved in gangs or the criminal justice system modeled after the Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles.
- The partnership also prepared a memo to the St. Paul City Attorney regarding the over-use of the charge of Obstructing Legal Process among African-Americans. As a result, the City Attorney retrained city prosecutors which doubled the dismissal rate of cases being prosecuted and led to the creation of a restorative justice program.
- Finally, the CJP and NAACP advocated for legislative change regarding Minnesota's databases on gangs resulting in major changes in data collection procedures in Ramsey County, including a parental notification provision when children are added to the databases.
The Community Justice Project is part of Interprofessional Center for Counseling & Legal Services which provides counseling and legal clinics for underserved individuals and communities. It was established not only to meet community needs but also to help graduate law, psychology, and social work students understand the importance of working collaboratively across disciplines to provide more effective services. An asylum seeker who's been tortured might need not only a lawyer to get legal immigration status, but a therapist to address psychological trauma as well as a social worker to help access other social and medical services.
The IPC is managed collaboratively by the UST's School of Law, the Graduate School of Professional Psychology, and St. Thomas'/St. Catherine's School of Social Work. For more information, contact Professor Nekima Levy Pounds, Director of the Community Justice Project at 651-962-4960 or email@example.com.
Educational Access Initiatives
St. Thomas partners with several schools in ways that enhance the academic learning of both sets of students. Information about these service-learning initiatives is available through the link below or CSLCE. Some of these long-standing and most active partnerships include working with:
- College Prep Elementary
- Cristo Rey Jesuit High School
- Kekaha Ke Kula Ni'ihau O Kekaha Learning Center
- Open Arms of Minnesota
- Wellstone International High School
College Prep Elementary
College Prep Elementary (CPE) is a charter school that serves predominantly Hmong and Karen students in grades K-6. Two partnership programs included UST students working with 5th graders in a Critical Reading and Writing class and 6th graders to produce a play.
In the Critical Reading and Writing class UST students worked with 5th graders to document oral histories of their families' journeys to Minnesota. UST and CPE students applied academic concepts in their writing and learned about one another. UST students learned more about Hmong culture and the difficult journeys many families took to come to the United States. CPE students learned not only more about their family history but also about college from the UST students with whom they worked. Many parents of CPE students also expressed gratitude for an opportunity to share more of their journeys to their new homes with their children.
A UST Drama and Poetry class and 6th graders from CPE jointly produced, directed, acted, and managed stage-craft for Stone Heart, a play written by local Native American playwright Diane Glancy. This term, CPE 6th graders and St. Thomas students will write and produce their own 3-act plays based on folks tales from around the world.
For more information about this partnership, please contact Michael Raimondi, Executive Director of College Prep Elementary and St. Thomas adjunct English faculty member at 651-605-2360 or email@example.com.
Cristo Rey Jesuit High School
Cristo Rey Jesuit High School is a Catholic high school in the heart of the Phillips neighborhood in Minneapolis. Cristo Rey provides a college-preparatory education in the Jesuit tradition for students of diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds who would not normally have access to such an education.
The school is a member of the national Cristo Rey Network, an association of similar urban high schools serving young people from families who are economically disadvantaged. A hallmark of a Cristo Rey education is the students' participation in their Hire4Ed Program. In addition to attending classes, students work in an office environment five days a month thereby earning up to 70% of the cost of their education. To accommodate this work schedule, the school has an extended school day and year. The school's curriculum is designed to support the students' work experience in addition to preparing students for university, college, or other post-secondary education.
Several St. Thomas faculty members teaching courses with service-learning components have worked collaboratively with Cristo Rey students and faculty in areas including communications and journalism, English, theology, statistics, and computer skills.
Largest of all of these courses is the introductory Communication and Citizenship class (COJO 111) a team taught course required of all Communication and Journalism majors involving approximately 200 St. Thomas students and the 9th grade Cristo Rey students each year. Several Cristo Rey staff and faculty members as well as St. Thomas faculty and staff have worked diligently to develop a collaborative, sustainable partnership that helps both their students and ours to achieve curricular goals as well as to encourage Cristo Rey students to think more about pursuing a college education.
Kekaha Ke Kula Ni'ihau O Kekaha Learning Center
The Kekaha Ke Kula Ni'ihau O Kekaha Learning Center on Kauai'i Hawai'i has been a partner with UST's Communication and Journalism Department for over twelve years. During their January-term course, "Hawai'i: Multi-Cultural Communication in Diverse Organizations," faculty and staff work with the students and staff of the Learning Center, a public charter school on Kauai'i. Approximately forty students, from pre-school to high school, attend this bi-lingual school. Younger students are taught exclusively in their Hawaiian dialect of Ni'ihau, with English introduced in upper-elementary classes. The school's goal is for their graduates to be bi-lingual in English and in Ni'ihau. These students are part of the small native Hawaiian community of Ni'ihau that works tirelessly to preserve its culture against many odds.
Service-learning projects vary from year to year, depending on the school's curriculum. Students have studied and worked together on projects regarding the Hawaiian Duck, an endangered indigenous species, studied the coral reef together, conducted research and given presentations, developed puppet shows, and performed instrumental music for a DVD students created together. Materials are shared with the students' families and the wider Ni'ihau community as a significant resource for the community to keep their language alive.
Open Arms of Minnesota:
The University of St. Thomas has enjoyed a service-learning partnership with Open Arms of Minnesota since 2004. Open Arms is an organization that prepares meals for and delivers meals to people living with HIV/AIDS, MS, ALS, and breast cancer.
Each semester, faculty in disciplines as diverse as philosophy, communication studies, theology, art history, justice and peace studies, sociology, health and human performance, business, and psychology learn the content of their courses through application to the work of Open Arms. For example, students in sociological methods have developed skills in survey writing and analysis by conducting surveys for the benefit of Open Arms. Students in epidemiology learn about food-born pathogens by preparing food safety kits for distribution to new Open Arms' clients. Students in business have applied their skills in marketing by raising funds for Open Arms' projects in South Africa. And students in theology have learned about the theology of the Second Vatican Council and its concern for the innate dignity of the human person by delivering meals to Open Arms' clients, and reflecting on these experiences in academic journals.
Wellstone International High School
Wellstone International High School in South Minneapolis provides English and content instruction to English Language Learners ages 14 to 21. St. Thomas students in English and Psychology classes have had an opportunity to assist students in classrooms and to interact with immigrant students from various backgrounds. The University of St. Thomas' Center for Writing also provides community-based consulting at Wellstone International High School.
Public Health
HIV/AIDS Initiatives
The Office of Service Learning and Civic Engagement at the University of St. Thomas recognizes that the HIV/AIDS pandemic is one of the most pressing issues of our day. Having already killed 25 million people globally, HIV/AIDS affects the lives of another 33 million people still living, 96% of whom live in the developing world--the majority of whom live with the virus without access to life-saving treatments. Moreover, HIV/AIDS is a disease of young people; half of the 5 million new infections each year occur among people between the ages of 15 and 24, and is leaving in its wake millions of orphans (http://www.unaids.org/en/).
The Office of Service Learning is deeply concerned about the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS and the destabilizing impact the disease is having on governmental, economic, and familial structures in our increasingly interdependent world. OSLCE is committed to educating its students about appropriate preventative measures, as well as effective, compassionate, and sustainable responses to this medical and cultural crisis of the modern age.
The project of HIV/AIDS Initiatives through the Office for Service-Learning offers service-learning opportunities for students in diverse disciplines, providing a chance to learn about public health through partnership with organizations in the local community, including work in affiliation with Clare Housing, Minnesota Aids Project, and Open Arms of Minnesota.
Faculty in disciplines as diverse as art history, biology, business, communication and journalism, health and human performance, justice and peace studies, music, philosophy, political science, psychology, sociology, and theology, have developed projects in collaboration with these organizations to provide students with a unique opportunity to apply their coursework to real needs arising in the community.
In 2008, 2010, and 2011, the program offered overseas opportunities when University of St. Thomas students traveled to Guguletu and Cape Town, South Africa for an international experience interacting with those affected by the pandemic.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, Nov. 3, 12 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium (50,000) -- Greenville, North Carolina. Television: FSN. Home Record: Houston 3-2, ECU 3-1. Away Record: Houston 1-1, ECU 2-3. Neutral Record: Houston 0-1, ECU 0-0. Conference Record: Houston 3-1, ECU 4-1. Series Record: ECU leads, 6-5.
GAME NOTES: The Houston Cougars travel to Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium this weekend for a Conference USA matchup against the East Carolina Pirates.
An 0-3 start had Houston looking like a team that would struggle to put together wins this season. Since that inauspicious start, the Cougars have righted the ship with wins in four of their last five games, including a 45-35 victory over UTEP this past weekend. Three of those wins have come in conference play which has helped Houston keep itself in the C-USA title chase with a one game lead in the C-USA West Division.
East Carolina is at the top of the East Division with a 4-1 mark against conference foes. That success in league play didn't mean much as the Pirates were rolled over by Navy 56-28 last weekend. There are only three more games on the schedule for ECU which is still short of the win total needed to earn a bowl bid.
ECU will certainly be out for some revenge in this matchup after Houston posted a 56-3 rout against the Pirates last season. Even with that loss, ECU holds the all-time series lead 6-5.
High-powered offensive production has been the theme for the Cougars over the last few seasons, especially through the air. Houston is the ranked seventh in the nation in passing (340.1 pg) and is one of just 20 teams to be putting up 300 or more yards passing per game. Those types of numbers have helped Houston become the second most productive offense in the conference at 512.3 yards per game. Houston also scores at a high rate, averaging 34.1 points per game.
A solid quarterback is needed for the Cougars to run their high-octane offense and this season David Piland has been able to serve in that capacity. Taking over for the record-setting Case Keenum, Piland has thrown for 2,438 yards and 12 touchdowns, while completing passes at a 59.9 percent clip. Piland has been a bit turnover prone though, with nine interceptions.
The passing game took a huge hit when wide receiver Dewayne Peace was suspended indefinitely for disciplinary reasons earlier this week. Peace had caught a team-high 42 passes for 458 yards. That will mean Daniel Spencer, who has a team-high 543 yards.
Even though the squad passes a ton there has still been a bunch of production in the run game. Charles Sims has rushed for the second most touchdowns in the conference with 11, while racking up a conference high 115.9 yards per game. Sims s has 816 yards rushing overall and is averaging a hefty 6.1 yards per attempt.
For all its offensive numbers, Houston has not been able to slow down opposing teams. Part of that can be attributed to the torrid pace at which the Cougars play, giving teams extra opportunities. Houston averages a league low in time of possession with just over 25 minutes per game. Still there is certainly room for improvement. Houston is allowing 450.9 yards per game and 35.3 points.
With opponents constantly on the field the Cougars have accumulated some impressive numbers in comparison to the rest of the conference. Houston is second in the league in both sacks (26) and tackles for loss (60). Phillip Steward is tied for the second most tackles in the conference with 84, while Derrick Mathews (75) and Trevon Stewart (73) also rank in the top 10 in total tackles. Steward is also the conference leader in sacks (8.0) and tackles for loss (14.0).
East Carolina doesn't' play at a rapid offensive pace. The Pirates are picking up 377.6 yards per game in total offense, while scoring 26.0 points per contest. However like Houston, the Pirates are a more pass-reliant team, ranked fifth in the conference in passing offense (257.1 ypg).
Shane Carden is at the helm, throwing for 1,879 yards and 12 touchdowns this season. He is coming off of a rough outing against Navy where he failed to reach 200 yards passing for the first time in five games. In fact, Carden had thrown for more than 300 yards in consecutive weeks before his 194-yard effort against Navy.
Another prolific offensive streak came to an end for an ECU player against Navy, as Justin Hardy had a streak of three straight games with 100 yards receiving come to an end. A streak that did not end for Hardy was his consecutive games with a touchdown which is now at five. Hardy leads the conference in receiving yards (780), as well as in receiving touchdowns (nine).
Vintavious Cooper provides ECU with a ton of offensive punch out of the backfield. He has piled up 751 yards on the season and has really stepped up his production in recent weeks. Cooper rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Navy, which came after a 172-yard, two-touchdown effort the previous week against UAB.
In comparison to Houston, ECU has been a much stronger defensive team. The Pirates are ranked fourth in the conference in both scoring defense (28.7 ppg) and total defense (411.6 ypg), but those numbers are certainly not dominating. East Carolina has clamped down in crucial situations this season, ranking fourth in the conference in opponents' red zone success rate (73.3 percent) and third in third down conversion rate (38.0 percent).
Jeremy Grove and Damon Magazu have each reached the 60-tackle plateau with Groce at 61 and Magazu at an even 60. Derrell Johnson has been solid on the edge, collecting 5.5 tackles for loss. Chip Thompson and Adonis Armstrong have been ball-hawks with four interceptions and 16 passes defended combined.
Houston is a team built to score and score quickly and East Carolina may not have the defense to be able to slow down the Cougars. If the Pirates are to pull this one out Carden will have to win a shootout with Piland, which seems like a rather tall task.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Houston 38, East Carolina 34

Riverton Hospital Officially Opens its Doors This Morning – First Patients Roll in Early
Jess Gomez
(801) 507-7455
– Residents in the southwest valley have a new option for medical care: Riverton Hospital, Intermountain Healthcare's newest hospital, officially opened its doors to patients and visitors at 6 am this morning.
"This has been a much anticipated day," says Blair Kent, administrator of Riverton Hospital. "We've prepared, trained, run drills and now, all of that preparation will come to fruition when we're finally able to treat our first patients."
Located just off Bangerter Highway and 12600 South, Riverton Hospital provides southwest valley residents with access to a full range of clinical services from outpatient radiology to general surgery to women's and birthing services. The campus includes a four-story hospital, a four-story Primary Children's Medical Center outpatient facility and a four-story physician office building.
"Our staff has so much passion for what they do," says Kent. "I know that every single patient that comes to our hospital will be treated and treated well. Our community is in great hands."
Services include 58 private patient rooms, 24-hour emergency services, five state-of-the-art operating rooms, general medical/surgical care, and full-service imaging and diagnostic services.
Primary Children's Medical Center brings its reputation for exceptional pediatric care to residents in the southwest valley by operating, for the first time, a separate outpatient facility. The Primary Children's outpatient building includes an outpatient surgical center, radiology services, pediatric subspecialty care, and other satellite outpatient services.
The physician's office building includes obstetric and gynecology services, outpatient imaging, outpatient laboratory services, physician offices, a retail pharmacy that will also operate four pharmacy kiosks throughout the campus, and an InstaCare/KidsCare.

Tunis —
Let me say how pleased I am to have accepted President Kaberuka's invitation to join you today to interact with you, to talk to you about some of our experiences as a post-conflict country.
Many of you know the journey of Liberia after two decades of conflict; three-year interim period of peace; and then democratic elections in 2005 that brought our administration to lead the country as of 2006.
We met a collapsed economy, dysfunctional institutions, destroyed infrastructure, and virtually a people with little hope in the future. Your institution, the ADB, was one of the first to have the confidence that Liberia, indeed, could come back. President Kaberuka visited in 2007, and he started the process – working with others, of course, with many of our other partners, to start the process of recovery, the process of rebuilding.
The many activities that, with your support, our country has benefitted from – one of the first ones was job creation, supporting civil works, public works that employed many of our thousands and thousands of young people, many of them child soldiers who had no skills and no education. I was able to give them a sense of hope.
In capacity building, through our Institute of Public Administration, just to start the process of reorganizing government entities. In the area of governance, also very strong, working with our financial management systems; helping us to get our revenue processes under way through the ASYCUDA intervention that today is a very successful one, now in ten locations where they can manage the imports and ensure that relief at customs revenues come in.
The Bank was very supportive in our debt relief effort. Liberia had a US$4.9 billion external debt arrears, un-serviced for over 20 years. We were able, working with all of our partners, under the HIPC Program and the Poverty Reduction Strategy – a complementary program – to get relief of US$4.6 billion of that, and your own contribution to that of about US$258 million under the same HIPC arrangement where we accessed certain facilities of the World Bank and others.
Today, there are many other interventions that are getting started: agriculture – Liberia is, after all, an agrarian nation, and much of our agriculture has been very preliminary, subsistence agriculture basically. The support that we will be getting – and that process is just starting – will be directed at smallholders, where the greatest potential for food security lies.
You've been supporting us also in water and sanitation – we'll come back to some experiences about that, as I've shared with the Senior Management of the Bank, certain of the obstacles one faces as you go through the process of rebuilding in a fragile state which we are. Support for our Central Bank, through trying to modernize the payment system, an ongoing project.
There are two important projects that you've participated in. I've talked about the Fish Town to Harper road project. I'm sure you've been through that when you approved it, but I can say to you that that has been a transformative intervention because it has really changed the lives of people who would have no mobility during the periods of our heavy rains, and it's the cross-border with Côte d'Ivoire, so it allows a lot of cross-border trade, most of them being market women going across from one side to the other, and that has really made a big difference in their lives.
We have the energy project which takes power to the four Mano River Union countries – la Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea; that's a project that is well-advanced, and that, again, is going to be very transformative because, for many of the communities – 18 of them in Liberia alone who've never had electricity. You can just imagine what this will do for them; for the students who are in school, to be able to access modern techniques; for the safety, because in those areas, because of the war and all of the cross-border armed activities; that brings a whole lot to security, so that has also been very supportive for us.
Supporting refugees through the UNHCR – our own refugees from Liberia, most of whom have now returned, but, increasingly, refugees from other places, from Sierra Leone and Guinea.
In the last two years, with your approval, the Field Office was established. Let me commend all of you for this because it has made a big difference in our ability to identify impediments and find a way to respond to them, and having someone that can sit with your Officer there and discuss it, and she's able then to convey to the management here what are some of those issues and talk to them about how we can find solutions to them, has really made a very big difference.
Budgetary support has also been very helpful to us at a time when our own financial systems were just being developed, and it took a lot of confidence, and I must say that the ADB and the European Commission were the first ones to come in and to express that confidence, and, along with that confidence, to help us build the financial management systems to ensure that funds were properly used.
Liberia, with the support of the Bank, joined the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (LEITI), and I'm proud to say we were one of the first two countries to become fully compliant. We are still compliant today, and still an example of one in which our audits that are done every year can contest to the fact that there is full reporting on the part of revenue that has been raised.
Liberia today: Moving along very well. Our growth has averaged over 6.5% over the past six years. We expect that we will go above that level. I think the projection is 7.9% for 2013; we don't accept that, we think it's too small given the fact that we have mobilized some US$16 billion in foreign direct investment and those operations, in mining, agriculture and forestry, are just getting started.
We've been going through fiscal reform; today we introduced our first MTEF – the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework Program which started in the current fiscal year, 2012 to 2013.
We've made a lot of progress in reconstructing our economic and social infrastructure – road systems, power systems – I say power system with tongue in cheek because when only 2% of your population is covered by power, and you're paying 54 cents per kilowatt hour, that's hardly something to boast of. But you have to take everything in perspective, when in 2006 the country was totally black, there were no lights at all, not even the capital city, except through personal power generation. It's come a long way, but still a long way to go.
Also, the building of schools, clinics. Again, some of the experience of rebuilding is that you build the schools, but you don't have enough teachers, or you don't have enough books, you don't have enough laboratories to be able to get the quality education.
In the area of governance, where also you've given support, we've been trying to strengthen the pillars of integrity, that is, the General Auditing Commission, the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission. We continue to struggle with corruption. I have to say that to you because it's been so embedded over too long a period of deprivation that we have had to look at it in a total context: first, prevention. Prevention means you've got to give people a decent wage to reduce their vulnerabilities; the installation of systems to make sure that, through automation, you can minimize the chances of personal discretion and abuse; to build the laws that protect people, like the Freedom of Information Act, our Public Financial Management Act, and new procurement laws. All of those are in place. And then the capacity, with bloated civil servants who really do not have the capacity to understand the laws, which makes it difficult. On the prevention side, I think we've done very well. The punishment side is where you have to have a judicial system that has the integrity and the capacity, and we continue to struggle with that.
We've now reached the stage where our security sector reform, which involved building a new Army, beginning to get our Police and the other apparatus in place. We now have a transition program with UNMIL – we still have a peacekeeping force. They have been reduced to 9,000 and will be going down to 7,000 in two years, and we think a full exit in two years, assuming we can do the training for our forces to take over the protection of the state.
Liberia tomorrow: We've got great ambition. Under our Vision 2030, which has just been concluded, and the five-year tranche of that, the Agenda for Transformation (AfT), we seek to become a middle-income country by the year 2030, and we want to say that we hope we'll not be aid dependent after ten years, if we put our own resources to work properly.
We've got four Pillars under our new Agenda for Transformation: Peace, Security and the Rule of Law. We have to maintain peace if we are to continue to rebuild. Under our Economic Transformation, the main issue is how we get away from the practices of the past, in which the large concessions – I just mentioned US$16 billion in direct foreign investment – are operations with no linkage to the rest of the economy, so when those operations came to a stop, you had a vacuum and a sharp deterioration. This time, trying to align our own programs with that of the private sector, whether it's through public-private partnerships or whether it's through ensuring that all our priorities are synchronized in such a way that we maximize the benefits from those investments. There's our Human Development Pillar, and we're continuing to work on Governance.
Our Agenda for Transformation is very well aligned with the New Deal that stresses the principles of fragile states and what you do about them. Liberia is one of the six countries that are promoting the New Deal, which has been endorsed by over 24 countries. The essential elements of the New Deal are: peace-building, state-building, ownership, mutual responsibility. Those are the intertwining principles. We talk about the principles' focus and trust. Focus, meaning making fragility assessment, taking into account both national, regional, global dynamics; ensuring that there's one vision, one focus, with all the elements that go toward achieving your transformation goals.
Ownership: Use of country systems as much as possible; determine priorities on the basis of people's own choices, and that means aligning all of your partnerships and your donors together toward that; encouraging democracy and political support, to ensure consensus in the achievement of those goals.
Under trust, we're talking about transparency, risk sharing, use of country systems, strengthening capacities and timely and predictable aid.
We believe that the special circumstances of fragile states need to be addressed. They are just not the same as countries that move normally. The capacity is weak, the resources are scarce, the imperatives of urgency are more intense in fragile states because whatever you do is to ensure that you begin to consolidate those gains and deliver to people in a much more timely fashion to manage expectations to prevent any chance of slipping back into conflict.
Liberia is a part of what we call the Mano River Union countries – la Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea – which is a subset of ECOWAS, since we are all part of the ECOWAS family. All of our four countries – some 40 million people – can be considered fragile because we've all been part of a regional war, one way or the other, and today we have these alliances across borders. Côte d'Ivoire, of course, is much further along in terms of GDP, in terms of development; the other three countries, having not been functioning for many years or involved in conflict, are behind. Today, the four countries are working hard to establish regional integration and cooperation as the only means whereby each can prosper.
We are all natural resource countries, but lacking in those basic requirements that will enable us to use those natural resources to be able to foster development, and much of that has to do with infrastructure. You still cannot, today, drive from Freetown to Monrovia on decent roads, or from Monrovia to Côte d'Ivoire on decent roads. Some work is being done on that, but we really want to see a particular emphasis on these countries because of the interconnectivity, and they've started. We've got the West Africa Power Pool that's starting, as I mentioned; we've got the CLSG, the interconnection of lights that I also mentioned. Those are ongoing, but much more is needed in terms of transport, much more of the power in each of our countries. Côte d'Ivoire is the only one that probably reaches about 40% of their population with electricity. Liberia is 2%, and Guinea and Sierra Leone are 7% and 8%.
We would like you to really focus on that, and work with us in ensuring that these Mano River Union countries – all considered fragile states – that you begin to look at development in a different way; begin to examine your own processes and procedures in a different way; working with us to find out how we can and show the kind of synergies between the use of our natural resources through private sector arrangements and public resources, some of which come from our own, and some of your own.
All of our countries have potential in oil exploration. We are all exploring. Some have already reached discovery. It opens a whole new area that one needs to start to work to make sure that we don't have the resource curse that many other countries have experienced. Now is the time to do it, since all of these efforts are embryonic.
I was saying to some of the Senior Management, with whom I had lunch, of our own example of a water and sanitation project that was approved in 2010, and today the disbursement rate is zero, which has pulled down other good programs so that we have a disbursement rate overall of 14%. Much too low, in my view, for a country in so much need. We want to look at it on our side; the problem is not just the process itself of the institutions and our partners; it's also our capacity issues, and our own internal problems. But we hope that we can find a way to sit together and identify those problems on both sides; changing some of the processes and procedures to take into account the state of the country and its urgency, and at the same time identifying, on our side, where we need to put the effort to be able to build our capacity in the right place to overcome some of those obstacles.
Mr. President: If I may just say a word, many of you know that I'm one of three Co-Chairs of the Post-2015 Development Agenda, and we've been working toward coming out with what will be presented to Member States of the General Assembly as ideas. Clearly, no 27 persons can come up with a global agenda; they can only, on the basis of rigorous consultation, take ideas and find where consensuses seem to lie and then take them to the bigger institutional bodies and, indeed, in our case, in Africa, the African Union (AU), the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and the regional institutions and our civil society organizations which have been fully a part of this consultative process. Reports have been written by them; those reports have been taken into account. I'm sure you have supported the AU and the ECA in some of the work they have done.
In summary, so far, we will continue and accelerate the efforts of the MDGs. We still have three years, and some of the MDG targets are still very relevant for many of our countries, so we want to see countries begin to do that, but then to also recognize new imperatives, such as environmental sustainability, which is something coming out of the Rio process on sustainable development to make sure those are incorporated; ensuring economic growth with inclusiveness; and social equity – those are the areas that beginning to again center on how do we minimize poverty; how do we fight poverty, which is the all-encompassing root cause of some of the problems which we face in our economies today. How do we redefine relationships? The New Deal principle of mutual responsibility says today that our own countries must take even greater responsibility for their own development; we must use our own resources much more for our own development; and that this partnership must define what's the mutuality in benefits, mutuality in respect, mutuality to ensure that we take charge, so to speak, that the ownership factor is stressed and is supported within the context of this partnership arrangement.
I throw these ideas out. I will have the opportunity, tomorrow, to talk to the Deputies, and we'll be focusing with them on the idea of fragile states; of the need for being able to encourage these growth corridors through some of these contiguous countries like the Mano River Union, because regional integration still remains one of the unfulfilled areas that will enable us to get the economies of scale, enable countries as balkanized as some of our countries are, in West Africa, using their comparative advantages to be able to add value and to move from just the providers of primary products into becoming industrial and manufacturing states competitive not only with other areas of Africa, but competitive worldwide. We'll be trying to encourage them tomorrow to look at some of those and also your support for that.
Once again, Mr. President, I want to thank you for this opportunity to talk to the Executive Directors, and to say thank you for all that you've done to bring Liberia to this place of progress where it is, and to commit to you that we will continue to carry on; we will continue to do the things that we ought to do, the policies and the practices, and the strategies that will enable us to achieve our Agenda for Transformation and, ultimately, to see the new vision that we have formulated come to pass for the prosperity of our people.
Finally, we look forward to seeing you in Abidjan.

2030 Planning Challenge
I attended a speech last night by Edward Mazria, who's generated a whole lot of buzz within the architecture community with his 2030 Challenge:
(this includes many of the same slides from his speech)
Ed is an architect who comes from a solar-design background -- in fact, he wrote the very first architecture book I remember reading, "The Passive Solar Energy Book" (1979). He brings some architect biases with him, for instance when he proclaims that "buildings cause half [48%] of all carbon dioxide emissions in the USA." His speech and his strategies are aimed at architects and the building trades, since that's the game he plays, although in more recent talks (like last night), he's talked a bit about the role that planners can play in reducing the building industry's contribution to climate change.
The speech got me thinking about what a 2030 Challenge for Planners would look like. The marvelous simplicity of the 2030 Challenge is that it sets some very easy to remember performance standards: today, all new buildings should use 50% less energy than their peers, with increasing targets so that new buildings are carbon neutral by 2030. (This will make a big impact since 3/4 of buildings extant in 2035 will have been built or remodeled since 2005. Buildings have a shorter lifespan than we think.)
However, planning's literally less concrete than architecture; it's harder to quantify the ways in which planning can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Planners can take steps to reduce energy-intensive solo driving: Cambridge, Mass. has a policy that new developments not generate any new auto trips, and do whatever TDM is necessary to achieve that; and we know of countless ways to make walking, cycling, and transit useful. Planners can also work with new developments to include highly efficient community-scale energy generation, like "district heat & power" systems powered by geothermal, solar, wind, or biomass. To the extent that planners influence the energy grid (siting new transmission lines and power plants, large or small, clean or dirty), that's another chance.
But what would you include in a 2030 Challenge? As a former colleague of mine would say whenever I turned in a memo, "keep it simple stupid" -- so stupid that even the dimmest bulb on the planning commission will understand it. These are the people who will need convincing.
USGBC has signed on
In an interview in the June 2007 issue of Urban Land, USGBC President & CEO Rick Fedrizzi notes that the newly sharpened focus on climate change has brought changes to LEED. To wit:
- all new LEED projects must have baseline 50% CO2 reduction over conventional buildings, a key tenet of the 2030 Challenge.
- energy optimization credits have been toughened.
- and most interestingly, USGBC has started a project to quantify the CO2 reductions from green buildings so that those can be sold as carbon credits on the open market.
However, buildings have an easy go of it: it's (relatively) quick and easy to plug a building into energy modeling software and get some numbers on how it will perform relative to baseline averages. Communities are much more complex creatures, and quantifying these numbers will be the first of many challenges towards creating a bold but attainable 2030 Community Challenge.
Will USGBC go farther than 50%, as 2030 does?
As you explained it to me yesterday, as the Challenge ramps up to toward 2030, it shoots for bigger reductions compared to the baseline -- starting with 50%, then goign to 60%, on up to 100%. Has USGBC indicated whether it will go beyond requiring mroe than 50% reductions from LEED-rated projects? This will be an interesting challenge to adapt to LEED-ND.
Parallel efforts
The Sierra Club is setting its sights pretty low by naming cities that "adopt Kyoto" (where Al Gore committed the U.S. to a 7% reduction of carbon emissions below 1990 levels by 2012) as "Cool Cities." That target will be outdated pretty soon, since Kyoto expires in 2012.
Meanwhile, many bills have been advanced in Congress that set various standards for carbon reductions for the entire country, principally through cap & trade schemes. Some estimated greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets under the bills (relative to the 1990 baseline established at the UN Earth Summit in 1992), rounded since I'm reading off a graph:
Business-as-usual: +66% in 2030, +113% in 2050
McCain-Lieberman: -23% in 2030, -60% in 2050
Kerry-Snowe: (same as McCain-Lieberman, but on glide path rather than stepped)
Bingaman-Specter: +0% in 2030, -50% in 2050
Lieberman-Warner: -16% in 2030, -65% in 2050
US-CAP proposal: -9% to -30% in 2030, -50% to -73% in 2050
Sanders-Boxer: -25% in 2030, -80% in 2050
Perhaps a framework for a 2030 Challenge would be for individual cities to reduce their overall emissions by XX% and transportation emissions by YY% by 2030 -- let's go with the aggressive US-CAP proposal of 30% by 2030. It's a solid, performance-based goal that can easily envelop the 2030 Challenge for Architecture, and "extend" a challenge like Cool Cities that currently has no goals past 2012.
P.S. The yawning gap between BAU and even the most conservative of the proposals by 2050 shows just how huge of a change we're going to have to see during my lifetime; I'll be 70 in 2050.

WebKit spools up FTL, seeks to make JavaScript even faster
As we worked to improve WebKit's optimizing compiler, we found that we were increasingly duplicating logic that would already be found in traditional ahead-of-time (AOT) compilers. Rather than continue replicating decades of compiler know-how, we instead investigated unifying WebKit's compiler infrastructure with LLVM – an existing low-level compiler infrastructure. As of r167958, this project is no longer an investigation. I'm happy to report that our LLVM-based just-in-time (JIT) compiler, dubbed the FTL – short for Fourth Tier LLVM – has been enabled by default on the Mac and iOS ports.
And if you're a total web geek let me know — what do you think of FTL?

WebKit spools up FTL, seeks to make JavaScript even faster
"Surfing Safari Blog": I couldn't understand any of it, but best...name...ever...
I think they need to start moving some of these JS improvements over to the rest of the iOS space. It's ridiculous that apps should still be second citizen to the built-in browser for JS performance.
It's a security issue. Apple doesn't want to open just-in-time code compilation into an open space.
Oh I'm very aware of their quoted reason. It's just simply not an acceptable one. No other platform has this problem that I'm aware of. Javascript is becoming extremely prevalent, even in native apps. Forcing the old slow engine on those apps impacts performance, and also battery life. This security issue is one that CAN be solved, it's simply one Apple doesn't WANT to solve. It's never going to be a problem for Apple since their apps have exemptions. Honestly, I can understand why iOS developers have grown increasingly frustrated with Apple as of late.
Safari and UIWebView both execute interpreted code (javascript) from remote sources that the application cannot control, but through an engine that Apple purely controls.
If anything, Safari is a *more* open space than an App Store-funneled app, as Safari does not go through the same review process as a normal app, and it also has a profile and privileges within iOS that normal apps lack. Assuming JIT itself poses risks, then JIT within Safari should be considered more of a threat, not less.
i just read it because it said FTL XD

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
We will now review some ideas from linear algebra. Proofs of the theorems are either left as exercises or can be found in any standard text on linear algebra. We know how to solve n linear equations in n unknowns. It was assumed that the determinant of the matrix was nonzero and hence that the solution was unique. In the case of a homogeneous system AX = 0, if , the unique solution is the trivial solution X = 0. If , there exist nontrivial solutions to AX = 0. Suppose that , and consider solutions to the homogeneous linear
A homogeneous system of equations always has the trivial solution . Gaussian elimination can be used to obtain the reduced row echelon form which will be used to form a set of relationships between the variables, and a non-trivial solution.
Example 1. Find the
nontrivial solutions to the homogeneous system

Background for
Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
(Linearly Independent). The
vectors are
said to be linearly
independent if the
implies that . If the vectors are not linearly independent they are said to be linearly dependent.
Two vectors in are linearly independent if and only if they are not parallel. Three vectors in are linearly independent if and only if they do not lie in the same plane.
(Linearly Dependent). The
vectors are
said to be linearly
dependent if there exists a
set of numbers
not all zero, such that
Theorem. The vectors are linearly dependent if and only if at least one of them is a linear combination of the others.
A desirable feature for a vector space is the ability to express each vector as s linear combination of vectors chosen from a small subset of vectors. This motivates the next definition.
(Basis). Suppose
is a set of m vectors in
. The
set S i s called a basis
for if
for every vector there
exists a unique set
of scalars so that X can be expressed as the linear combination
Theorem. In , any set of n linearly independent vectors forms a basis of . Each vector is uniquely expressed as a linear combination of the basis vectors.
Theorem. Let be
vectors in .
(i) If m>n, then the vectors are linearly independent.
(ii) If m=n, then the vectors are linearly dependent if and only if , where .
Proof Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
Applications of mathematics sometimes encounter the following questions: What are the singularities of , where is a parameter? What is the behavior of the sequence of vectors ? What are the geometric features of a linear transformation? Solutions for problems in many different disciplines, such as economics, engineering, and physics, can involve ideas related to these equations. The theory of eigenvalues and eigenvectors is powerful enough to help solve these otherwise intractable problems.
Let A be
a square matrix of dimension n
× n and
let X be
a vector of dimension n. The
product Y =
AX can
be viewed as a linear transformation
from n-dimensional
space into itself. We want to find
scalars for
which there exists a nonzero vector X such
(1) ;
that is, the linear transformation T(X) = AX maps X onto the multiple . When this occurs, we call X an eigenvector that corresponds to the eigenvalue , and together they form the eigenpair for A. In general, the scalar and vector X can involve complex numbers. For simplicity, most of our illustrations will involve real calculations. However, the techniques are easily extended to the complex case. The n × n identity matrix I can be used to write equation (1) in the form
(2) .
The significance of equation (2) is that the product of the matrix and the nonzero vector X is the zero vector! The theorem of homogeneous linear system says that (2) has nontrivial solutions if and only if the matrix is singular, that is,
(3) .
This determinant can be written in the
(Characteristic Polynomial). When
the determinant in (4) is expanded, it becomes a polynomial of degree
which is called the
Exploration for p()
There exist exactly n roots (not necessarily distinct) of a polynomial of degree n. Each root can be substituted into equation (3) to obtain an underdetermined system of equations that has a corresponding nontrivial solution vector X. If is real, a real eigenvector X can be constructed. For emphasis, we state the following definitions.
(Eigenvalue). If A is
and n
× n real
matrix, then its n eigenvalues are
the real and complex roots of the characteristic
(Eigenvector). If is
an eigenvalue of A and
the nonzero vector V has
the property that
then V is called an eigenvector of A corresponding to the eigenvalue . Together, this eigenvalue and eigenvector V is called an eigenpair .
characteristic polynomial
can be factored in the form
where is called the multiplicity of the eigenvalue . The sum of the multiplicities of all eigenvalues is n; that is,
The next three results concern the existence of eigenvectors.
Theorem (Corresponding
Eigenvectors). Suppose
that A is
and n
× n square
(a) For each distinct eigenvalue there exists at least one eigenvector V corresponding to .
(b) If has multiplicity r, then there exist at most r linearly independent eigenvectors that correspond to .
Theorem (Linearly Independent Eigenvectors). Suppose that A is and n × n square matrix. If the eigenvalues are distinct and are the k eigenpairs, then is a set of k linearly independent vectors.
Theorem (Complete Set of Eigenvectors). Suppose that A is and n × n square matrix. If the eigenvalues of A are all distinct, then there exist n nearly independent eigenvectors .
Proof Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
eigenpairs by hand computations is usually done in the following
manner. The eigenvalue of
multiplicity r is
substituted into the equation
Then Gaussian elimination can be performed to obtain the row reduced echelon form, which will involve n-k equations in n unknowns, where . Hence there are k free variables to choose. The free variables can be selected in a judicious manner to produce k linearly independent solution vectors that correspond to .

Free Variables
When the linear system is underdetermined, we needed to introduce free variables in the proper location. The following subroutine will rearrange the equations and introduce free variables in the location they are needed. Then all that is needed to do is find the row reduced echelon form a second time. This is done at the end of the next example.

A&E's DUCK DYNASTY Returns for Season 3 Tonight
A&E's most-watched series is back: Duck Dynasty returns with Louisiana's First Family tonight, February 27 with back-to-back premieres at 9 and 9:30PM ET/PT.
Last season, "Duck Dynasty" catapulted itself to become one of TV's biggest phenomena. The season two finale premiered to 6.5 million viewers on December 5, 2012. The episode was also watched by an A&E record 3.9 million adults 18-49, 3.8 million adults 25-54 and 2.0 million adults 18-34, becoming the most-watched series telecast in network history among all key demos. "Duck Dynasty" was also the top trending TV show on Facebook in 2012.
In the third season premiere episode, the Robertson men prepare for the beginning of duck season. Phil has two rituals that don't go over well; a date night with Ms. Kay and abstaining from baths. Meanwhile, the guys carry out their tradition of camping out on the land but the group is quickly divided into those who'll rough it and those who want comfort.
The Robertsons have been busy being America's favorite big, bearded, camo-clad family. Despite their modest lifestyle and homes in the backwoods, this close-knit family has made a fortune on duck calls by turning a backyard business into a multi-million dollar sporting empire. But for Willie Robertson, the company's CEO, running a family operation is tough when all your employees live one distraction at a time and find any excuse to leave The Warehouse. They may be living the rags-to-riches American dream, but they're just as busy staying true to their rugged outdoorsman lifestyle and southern roots. Of course, in this household, even the most ordinary family affair is met with a speciAl Robertson twist of downhome practicality and witty sense of humor. Day to day life in the bayou may be mundane for some, but for the Robertsons, every day brings a new adventure.
"Duck Dynasty" is produced for A&E Networks by Gurney Productions. Executive producers for Gurney Productions are Deirdre Gurney and Scott Gurney. Executive producers for A&E are David McKillop, Elaine Frontain Bryant and Lily Neumeyer.

Coefficient Plots in Stata
Posted on August 6th, 2012
I have posted a lot about coefficient plots lately (see here, here, and here), but all the code I offer is in R. Of course, not everyone uses R, so I was recently asked if I knew of any Stata scripts or .ado files to build coefficient plots. I did not, but I appealed to Twitter and here is what others suggested to me.
Scott Clifford and the Monkey Cage suggested a Stata .ado files called ECLPLOT, which you can download here. A Stata Journal article about the package is found here.
I still feel like R provides a better graphics framework, especially when creating small multiples, but for Stata users in a tight spot, this might work well.
