aseh annual conference Washington, DC March 18-22, 2015 Turning Protest into Policy: Environmental Values and Governance in Changing Societies For more info, including Call for Papers, see our website at www.aseh.net, "conferencesâ€? Location: Georgetown area ASEH Call for Proposals – 2015 Conference in Washington, DC The ASEH invites proposals for its 2015 conference that will convene March 18-22 in Washington, D.C. As the seat of government for the United States and the location of international agencies such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, Washington is an excellent setting to consider the environmental ramifications of diplomacy, global capital movement, and the transnational flow of ideas concerning the environment and cultural identity. Washington hosts numerous federal agencies that influence environmental policy and thinking and are, in turn, subject to intense pressure from worldwide lobbying and protest groups. The city itself has a complex history of power and poverty of its own. With these concerns in mind, the conference theme is "Turning Protest into Policy: Environmental Values and Governance in Changing Societies." The program committee particularly encourages panel and roundtable proposals that engage the theme in creative ways: environmental justice movements around the world, international or local protests that reveal changing environmental values, policy decisions at the national and international levels, and judicial rulings that have altered policy or resource use. As this conference will include several events featuring environmental films and filmmaking, the program committee also encourages session proposals examining the role of films related to the conference theme. Submission Guidelines The program committee invites panel, roundtable, individual paper, and poster proposals for the conference on these and other topics. We aim to include sessions that cover the globe, all eras of history, and that engage with other important historical themes including race, gender, imperialism, and diaspora histories. We welcome teaching sessions, non-traditional formats, and sessions that encourage active audience participation. We encourage panels that include historians at different career stages and different types of institutions (academic and public) and that are gender and racially diverse. We strongly prefer to receive complete session proposals, although we will endeavor to construct sessions from proposals for individual presentations. Sessions will be scheduled for 1.5 hours. Please note that it is ASEH policy to allow at least 30 minutes for discussion in every session. No single presentation should exceed 15 minutes, and each roundtable presentation should be less than ten minutes since roundtables are designed to maximize discussion. Commentators are allowed but not required. Please note that individuals can present or comment on only one panel, roundtable, or poster session in addition to chairing a second session. Deadline for Submissions: July 20, 2014 The online submission system will be available on ASEH's website (www.aseh.net, "conferences") in April 2014. All presenters and other participants are expected to register for the annual meeting. If you have any questions, please contact: Kurk Dorsey, University of New Hampshire, program committee chair, email@example.com or Lisa Mighetto, ASEH director, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Intellectual mix yields fertile society: author | NEWSMAKERS
Frans Johansson, author of "The Medici Effect," contends the actions that spawned the Italian Renaissance — that remarkable and extraordinary explosion of art, architecture, science and philosophy — can be replicated and applied to the creative challenges we all face today.
Johansson, an author, speaker and entrepreneur, visited Evansville recently to discuss his ideas on innovation, creativity and diversity with students and faculty at the University of Southern Indiana.
While in Evansville, he discussed his concepts with Mizell Stewart III on Newswmakers, a weekly public affairs television program co-produced by WNIN-PBS9 and the Courier & Press.
The following is an edited transcript of their conversation. The entire interview can be seen at 11:30 a.m. today on WNIN.
Stewart: Your book uses as an example the Medicis. They were bankers in Florence, Italy, who decided to use their wealth to fuel creativity. But what is clear is that their actions were not just about spending the money they had lying around. How did they do it, and why?
Johansson: One of the things that made the Medicis so powerful was that they were able to make Florence the true center, the epicenter, of Europe and much of the rest of the world.
The way they were able to accomplish that was by bringing people from different backgrounds — architects, sculptors, painters, philosophers — from all over Europe and even as far away as China, and they attracted them to the city of Florence where they broke down the boundaries between the different disciplines and between the different cultures.
That ignited what ultimately became one of the most creative eras in Europe's history. That is the Renaissance.
Why did they do it? Ultimately, I think it came down to power. If Florence became the center, then the Medicis became the most powerful. In fact, they were able to, through all kinds of measures, trickery and bribery, establish two Popes. Two of the Popes were Medicis. Catherine Medici was married to the French king.
They were able to exert influence, and they did so by making Florence a place that people could look at and ultimately envy.
Stewart: And Florence, because of their efforts, really became a city almost on par with Rome for the art and culture that it spawned.
Johansson: Absolutely. In terms of spawning art and culture, it was even more powerful than (Rome). And the Medicis were particularly eager to point that out to Rome.
For instance, one of the more famous works of art from this era is the David statue from Michelangelo. It is an amazing piece of art. Now, why did they ask Michelangelo to make this David statue? Because David beat Goliath. Who is the Goliath? Well, that is Rome, and David is the Medicis in Florence.
Stewart: You have used the example of the Medicis as a blueprint for helping people innovate and become more creative. One of the concepts that you create in the book is that by bringing together artists and sculptors and philosophers and scientists and architects — because you have all of these different disciplines and all of these different people from all of these different places — by bringing them all together you created interactions and intersections where those ideas could be brought together. Literally, new innovations come because of the interactions of those different people.
Johansson: That's right. My interest was not so much in the Medici family per se. It was in the effect that they created by encouraging all of these different people to come together.
So Leonardo da Vinci designs some interesting weaponry — some weapons the Medicis might be able to use. Well, then their architect looks at them and realizes, 'If I just change the construction a little bit, I can use it to help me build other buildings,' like the very famous dome that is in Florence.
It's by these people connecting and talking and collaborating that they broke new ground. My interest was in what that tells us about innovation in general. What does that tell us about innovation whether you are talking about the sciences, whether you talk about entrepreneurs starting companies, whether you talk about artists creating new pieces of art? And what I found is that it is the exact same process. So, if you are a scientist and you want to break new ground, how are you going to do that? By talking to others just like yourself?
Stewart: That typically is where a lot of people focus. They are talking to other people in their field, talking to other folks they already have some connection to or some relationship with.
Johansson: That's right. And the reason for (that) is that we are comfortable in that space. We do make advancements. These are what I call directional ideas. I tweak something a little bit this way, I can change something a little bit that way, and things are moving forward.
But the people that break new ground, the people that change the world in big and small ways but fundamentally change it, they are actually getting ideas from other places.
One of my favorite examples from the book has to do with this architect and how he is tasked with building a building in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe. But this building is to contain no air conditioning. This might have seemed like a grand challenge, since it can get hot in Zimbabwe.
Stewart: Yes. How are you going to build a building in sub-Saharan Africa that doesn't have air conditioning?
Johansson: Exactly. Now, the way he accomplishes it is by looking at the way termites build their mounds on the savanna. And they need to build in a very particular way because they need to keep the temperature in the mound at an exact 87 degrees Fahrenheit. So he looked at how they did it, and he used the same principles for his building. That building uses 90 percent less energy than any other building around it by borrowing from the termite colony.

This recipe makes 12 bars, which can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Prep time: 20 min | Cook time: 45 min | Total time: 65 min | 12 Servings
1 cup
whole wheat pastry flour
¾ cup
unbleached all-purpose flour
⅓ cup
brown sugar (packed)
¼ cup
ground flaxseeds
2 tsp
ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp
baking powder
1 tsp
1 cup
grated carrots (firmly packed)
1 cup
sweetened shredded or flaked coconut
¾ cup
Earthbound Farm Organic Raisins
½ cup
chopped pecans (optional)
⅔ cup
canola oil
4 oz
Applesauce (preferably organic)
¼ cup
melted unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 Tbsp
agave syrup
1 tsp
pure vanilla extract
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
Butter the bottom and sides of a 9 or 10-inch square baking pan. Line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper. Set aside.
Place the flours, sugar, flaxseed, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the carrots, coconut, raisins and pecans (if using), and stir to blend.
In another small bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, applesauce, melted butter, agave and vanilla. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until combined.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake until the top is golden brown, the sides have pulled away from the pan, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.

Carl Sice stars as Whitehaven take spoils in North Wales
Last updated at 12:00, Monday, 14 May 2012
North Wales Crusaders 10 Whitehaven 17: Whitehaven took the three points in a grim spectacle at the Racecourse Ground, a drop-goal supplied by Jamie Rooney securing victory late on for the west Cumbrians.
Andrew Beattie and Scott McAvoy were both missing for Haven but Richard Varkulis was welcomed back into the squad and had an influence coming off the bench.
Neither side could get a foothold in the game at any point and in the first 15 minutes possession was shared evenly amongst the two sides, mainly due to the amount of loose carries.
The home side took the lead after 22 minutes against the run of play. Haven had been camped on the Crusaders' line for some time, but consecutive penalties provided some field position for the Welshmen.
The ball came across the line and once it found the hands of Sheen, he found his way through a gap to run in under the posts. Ian Cross was unsuccessful with the conversion, 4-0.
The lead was almost increased minutes later, Jamie Durbin broke from deep, set up Sheen who was stopped just short of the line. And from the next play they squandered a fabulous opportunity, knocking on near the line.
Whitehaven soon hit back as Sice managed to touch down in corner for 6-4 but then he blew a fantastic chance to increase the lead. He found his way through a gap 10 metres out and instead of sending Loz Hamzat over with a pass, he decided to kick and the ball went dead.
Despite that exciting 10-minute period, both sides shut-up-shop for the closing stages of the first half.
The hosts got the ball rolling in the second half and regained the lead just five minutes in. Iwan Brown drove towards the line and threw a long-range offload which found Sheen who crossed. Broadbent converted, 10-6.
The lead didn't last long, as strong work down the left-hand side eventually found Craig Calvert who crashed over in the left corner. Rudd's goal this time just fell wide of the sticks and the scores were tied at 10-10.
Whitehaven grabbed that all-important third try with 20 minutes remaining.
The visitors were awarded a penalty and continued pressure, and strain on the Cruasders' defence lead to Lee Doran finding his way through a gap and reaching out to score. Rooney converted for 16-10.
Rooney added a late drop-goal to give the Cumbrian-based side a little more breathing space going into the closing stages.
North Wales Crusaders: Johnson, Clay, Cross, Broadbent, Massam, Moulsdale, Durbin, Walker, Hudson, Brown, Clarke, Morrison, Stephens; Subs: Sheen, Lunt, Owain Brown, Chris Tyrer
Tries: Sheen 22, 46; Goals: Broadbent (1/1)

And I'm not too impressed... For anyone too lazy to click the link, it basically describes that the game is being developed by Ubisoft Quebec and it will be released on Xbox 360 and WiiU. Yes, you read correctly... Wii U. The game is stated to be purely motion controlled and will be based off the Secret Invasion story-line.
I personally see this being just as bad as Star Wars Kinect, but I could just as easily be proven wrong. I hope I am but given games solely based around motion controls, their track record isn't the best.

text: The Baby Face Finlayson wiki last edited by lokiofmidgaard on 03/27/13 11:29AM View full history Making his debut in The Beano in 1972, Baby Face Finlayson was originally a minor character in the Little Plum strip before later getting his own story.Despite being just a baby, Finlayson was one of the most notorius outlaws of the old Wild West. He'd terrorise the locals in his motorised pram stealing and robbing anything he could lay his hands on. Being set in the Wild West, Baby Face would occasionally cameo in other comic strips like Desperate Dan, Little Plum and The Three Bears and vise versa.In the 1980's the setting was moved from the Wild West to the current day U.K. where he'd regularly interact (and often annoy) with the inhabitants of Beanotown.

36 year old woman | San Antonio, TX, USA | Seeking men 30-36 within 50 miles
Looking for "the one
I am currently a full time student and always a mommy first. I have two small children that are my world. I study all the time and look forward to breaks from school so I can just relax a little. My goal is to obtain my RN so that I can take care of myself and my children with no help from anyone else. I am also considering furthering my education and becoming a nurse anesthetist...but nursing school must come first. There are so many things I want to try that I have never had the opportunity to do...canoeing, river rafting, I WANT TO DRIVE A RACE CAR! I have never been exposed to so many things that I really would like to try someday. I am looking for someone that will do these things with me and hold my hand along the way. Someone that will cuddle up with me and chill for a night in or go out for a night on the town. I'm not a big party girl, been there-done that. Thats not to say I dont like going out here and there but a "party life" is not what I'm after. I do, however, want to travel and see the world. I've had a taste of what it's like outside of the U.S. and I loved every minute of it. My dream is to move overseas one day to Germany or the Netherlands. If this isn't possible I'd like to move somewhere with a beautiful mountain landscape where I can do all those outdoor activites that I long to do. I'm not really sure what to say on here other than I am a very considerate, sweet, confident and happy person. I am hard working and dependable. I am not high maintenance at all...I can dress up or I can put on some jeans and head out the door. My ideal match would be ambitious and kind. He should be positive and caring. He can fix things around the house in a t-shirt and jeans but he can also dress up in a nice suit. He understands my children will always be first and commends it.

Hmmmm...my favorite things. I love Corvettes, I will have one some day! I love the show Dexter. I enjoy nature and love being in it. But most of all my favorite thing to do is hugging and kissing on my babies.
I enjoy movies and concerts, hanging out with friends and spending quality time with my children. I love to hike, bike and sled in the snow. Amusement parks are always a good choice, I love roller coasters.
I currently have only enough time to read my various text books. I am trying to squeeze in the Fifty Shades series in between text books though. I also have a fabulous biography of Ben Franklin that's calling my name, this is my Christmas break read.

Re: AMD Core Temps
I'm idling at about 28-30 'C on each core, and I'm fully loaded up at 54/49'C using orthos.
Aren't Opteron processors able to take more heat than the regular X2's?
Anyway....I'd consider anything under 60'C for an opteron to be ok. The biggest thing to remember about coretemp...while it does provide seemingly more accurate readings, that the internal diode it references is not "officially" factory calibrated by AMD and they offer absolutely no support for it's usage.
The temp sensor from your mobo is usually accessed using a S I/O chip and is usually taken from the socket just below the die of the processor.
hope this helps,

I care about life not simply "happening" to me. And I think I'm not the only one. Mandating contraception education that truly equips adolescents to make choices about contraception is the goal we have been missing all along.
As we worry about how to protect our children, we seem to lose track of the fact that they grow up to be sexually engaged youth. For eight years, we did not offer any options except abstinence-only sex education in the public schools.

YIELD: Makes about 1 2/3 cups
ACTIVE TIME: 20 min
TOTAL TIME: 20 min
Finely grate enough zest from lemons to measure 2 teaspoons and squeeze enough juice to measure 1/2 cup. Whisk together zest, juice, sugar, and eggs in a metal bowl and add butter. Set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and cook, whisking, until thickened and smooth and an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F, about 5 minutes. Force curd through a fine sieve set into another bowl. Serve warm or cover surface of curd with wax paper and cool completely.
Cooks' notes:
Lemon curd keeps, covered and chilled, 1 week.
If substituting regular lemons, increase sugar to 3/4 cup.

"Water, water everywhere" Parque Nacional del Iguazù by barryg23
Parque Nacional del Iguazù Travel Guide: 399 reviews and 1,166 photos
Argentina is full of natural wonders, with one of the best known being the beautiful Iguazu Falls in Misiones province in the far north east of the country. It's hot, humid and a good distance from most major Argentinian cities (20 hours by bus to Buenos Aires), but no one who makes the long trip north regrets it after seeing the falls.
According to Guarani legend the Iguazu Falls were created when a jealous forest god, attempting to stop his girl escaping by river with her lover, made the riverbed collapse in front of them, giving us the famous Garganta del Diablo. It´s easy to understand why the Guarani attributed a divine intervention to the creation of the falls as they are spectacular, one of Argentina´s, even South America´s, most beautiful sights. Though we had seen the falls on film in The Mission and in pictures before, nothing really prepares you for seeing it for real.
The falls are shared between Argentina and Brazil, with the majority on the Argentinian side. They are part of the Iguazu Falls National Park which lies 20 km east of Puerto Iguazu, the closest town. Inside the park are trails leading to viewing platforms for all the major waterfalls, including the big one, Gargantua del Diablo (Devil's Throat). There are also nature trails leading into the jungle, where there's a good chance of seeing wildlife as you leave the crowds behind.
We spent two days visiting the Argentinian side of the falls, which was just enough time to see everything. On the first day we concentrated on the main trails and waterfalls, while the second day saw us on a very quiet hiking trail in the morning, then on San Martin island in the afternoon, followed by a boat trip under the spectacular San Martin waterfall.
Iguazu Falls is one attraction that definitely lives up to the hype. The National Park is very well run, the trails are excellent and laid out nicely, and there is a great variety of sights. I would suggest a two day minimum visit for the Argentinian side, with an extra day for the Brazilian side if you have the time.
A Brazilian perspective
The park can also be visited from Brazil. I preferred the Argentinian side as the trails are longer and there are more viewpoints, but the Brazilian side is worth visiting to get a different perspective and nice take-it-all-in views of the park. See my Parque Nacional do Iguaçu page for more.
I've also written a blog about my trip to Iguazu Falls.
- Pros:Beautiful falls, great trails, a well run national park
- Cons:None at all, it's a must see and well worth the effort to get here.
- In a nutshell:One of the great natural sights of Argentina
