Conservation Guest Scholars
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Conservation Science
Graduate Internships at the Getty Conservation Institute
Through its Conservation Guest Scholar program, the Getty Conservation Institute supports research and the infusion of new ideas and knowledge into the practice of conservation. Since it was established in 2000, the Conservation Guest Scholar program has hosted professionals pursuing research on a wide range of theoretical, scientific, and practical issues relating to the conservation of museum collections, historic and modern architecture, archaeological sites, and cultural landscapes. The diversity of research topics and the broad array of experiences represented by past GCI Guest Scholars have enriched the Institute's own work while adding new knowledge and thinking to the field.
The Guest Scholar program aims to fill a perceived need for opportunities for senior-level professionals to pursue research on topics that can bring new knowledge and fresh perspectives to the field. As Guest Scholars, established conservators, scientists, and professionals in related fields carry out scholarly research during their tenure the GCI. While in residence, Conservation Guest Scholars participate with other Getty scholars, fellows, and interns in the intellectual life of the Getty, making use of research collections at the Getty Center and Villa, and in the greater Los Angeles area.
Conservation Guest Scholars are in residence for either three or six consecutive months between late September and June each year. The residency grant includes a stipend, a workstation at the Conservation Institute, research assistance, airfare to and from Los Angeles, an apartment in the Getty scholar housing complex, and health benefits.
Each year, the GCI selects scholars from a highly competitive international pool of applicants. Applications are welcome from established professionals of all nationalities who have attained distinction in conservation and allied fields. Applicants should have at least five years experience working in the field and an established record of publications and other contributions to the field.
Please note that proposals for lab-based research requiring use of GCI Science staff and laboratories will be considered but are contingent upon the availability of lab facilities and personnel. Scholars should be equipped to carry out most of their own lab research, including the preparation of samples.
While Scholars may request access to the Getty's collections for research purposes, sampling and other interventive activities are not possible.
Proposals for research that contributes to a PhD or other academic degree will not be considered.
2014–2015 Conservation Guest Scholars
The Getty Conservation Institute is pleased to welcome the 2014–2015 Conservation Guest Scholars, who will be in residence at the GCI starting in September 2014.

Good quality, well installed insulation helps keep the heat in during winter and keep it out during summer. This makes your house easier and cheaper to heat properly, and more comfortable and healthy to live in.
It's estimated as many as 600,000 New Zealand houses have insufficient ceiling or underfloor insulation[1], and insulation can move or become less effective over time.
The order of priority for insulating your home should be:
Having a professional install insulation for you
EECA recommends using a trained professional to install or upgrade your insulation, as even small faults in how the insulation is installed can compromise its performance.
Enter your region in the search box below to find a list of insulation installers on the Yellow Pages website:
The Insulation Association of New Zealand also has a list of insulation installers that have gone through the Association's training for installing ceiling and underfloor insulation.
Funding available
Warm Up New Zealand: Healthy Homes offers free ceiling and underfloor insulation for low-income households in many parts of the country. You may qualify if:
- your home was built before the year 2000, and
- the home owner or main tenant has a Community Services Card, and
- you have children under 17 years, adults over 65 years or someone with high health needs living in your home, or
- you are a landlord with eligible tenants.
To find out if you qualify, contact an insulation service provider in your area.
Other payment options
Some local councils and banks have payment options available to help with the cost of installing insulation and heating. Find out more about the payment options available through councils and banks.
Installing insulation yourself
If you are considering the DIY approach, everything you need to know about installing insulation is in the New Zealand Standard NZS 4246:2006 Installing insulation in residential buildings. It's easy to follow with lots of colour pictures, and it's free to download.
As with all DIY projects, there are safety considerations. Make sure you read and follow the Health and Safety advice in Appendix B of New Zealand Standard NZS 4246:2006. If you're not sure, get a professional to install the insulation for you.
New builds and renovations
It's much easier to get your insulation done properly at the outset than fix it up afterwards. There are some specific considerations - find out more about designing to keep in the heat.
Cantabrians insulating during repairs
Canterbury homeowners can now have insulation installed in walls and other normally difficult to access areas that have become accessible during the earthquake repair process. There are specific conditions to be met, and the homeowner is required to meet the full cost of having this work done (there is no government funding available for this).
The process is slightly different, depending on who is managing your repair process.
- For EQC customers, more information can be found on the EQC website, or read this information guide.
- For Southern Response customers, more information can be found on the Southern Response website, or read this information guide.
Finally, remember to block up the draughts
Even well-insulated homes can be hard to heat if they're draughty - find out how to block up the draughts.

Additional Location Information
St Kilda, with a population of 16,122, is located 6km south from Melbourne's CBD. St Kilda was named after a ship, the 'Lady of St Kilda', which moored at the main beach for much of 1841. During the Edwardian and Victorian eras, St Kilda became a favoured suburb of Melbourne's elite, and many palatial mansions were constructed along its hills and waterfront. Post WWII, St Kilda became Melbourne's red-light district. In recent years, St Kilda has experienced gentrification. Now St Kilda is one of Melbourne's premier and most expensive suburbs. St Kilda is home to many of Melbourne's famous visitor attractions including Luna Park, the Esplanade Hotel, Acland Street and Fitzroy Street.

As a fifth grader growing up in Canada I had made up my mind. When I grew up I was going to be either a hockey player or a dentist. Then my parents moved us all to Arizona, my hockey dreams faded and I settled for becoming a dentist.
In 1988 one of my hygienists became an enthusiastic fan of the Phoenix Roadrunners hockey team and suggested we look into becoming the team dentists. I called them up and asked. Sure enough, they were looking for a new dentist. My partner Ron Foeldi also grew up in Canada playing hockey so we jumped at the chance to work with the team.
Eight years later in 1996 the big league NHL Phoenix Coyotes came to town. As the established "hockey dentists" in the area, the Coyotes sought us out and again we jumped at the chance to work with the team. So for the last 23 years I have been a professional hockey team dentist.
When people learn that I am the team dentist they usually say "That must keep you busy." After all, the popular media perception of a hockey player is a big goon with missing front teeth. The fact is not every hockey player is a big goon with missing teeth. On the other hand hockey is a fast, hard hitting and often violent sport. As a group, the players have a lot more missing and damaged teeth than your typical healthy twenty-something guys.
As a team dentist I see a lot more facial-dental trauma than I did in my everyday general practice. Dental-facial hockey injuries happen when the player gets hit by one of three things: another player; a stick or by far the worst; a puck.
The most common injuries are the results of hard contact with another player either in the form of an elbow, a shoulder, or occasionally a fist to the face. These are usually minor involving little more than a cut lip and some soft tissue trauma.
Stick injuries, either from a blunt end or from the blade are less common, yet tend to be more serious injuries often involving fractured or loosened teeth and more serious soft tissue damage. In theory, a player is supposed to control his stick at all times and any contact with the blade above the waist is a penalty called high sticking. At least that's the theory.
The third and most serious type of injury comes from the pucks. A hockey puck is a rock hard frozen disc of solid rubber that can easily exceed speeds of 100 mph. When a puck hits a player in the face it is always serious. Puck injuries usually result in avulsed teeth, crushing of the alveolar bone, severe soft tissue damage and possible fracture of the mandible or maxilla. Fortunately in over twenty years we have seen just four of these.
Back in the Roadrunner days we dealt with a facial injury at almost every game, in fact, often several a game. With the Coyotes we see less of these dental-facial injuries. I think there are several reasons for this. Today more players wear mouth guards and face shields. Back in 1988, there was an underlying tradition that real men, especially real Canadian men, did not wear mouth guards. Mouth guards and face shields were just for those sissy, girly Europeans.
There is also less fighting. For better or worse hockey is famous for its fights. Times have changed. There is less fighting today in general and there is less fighting in the big leagues than in the minors. Which brings us to the final reason we see less facial trauma, the Coyote players are just better than the minor leaguers. There is less high sticking and the players are better at avoiding injury.
Today, most players do wear mouth guards and more wear face shields although they are still more common with the European players than those from North America. The technology of mouth guards has improved tremendously with dual laminates but many players still think of a mouth guard as a boil and bite that doesn't fit, falls out and hurts. If you can get the player to try a dual laminate mouth guard usually they like it and use it all the time.
Dual laminate mouth guards protect the player in several ways. Of course they protect the teeth from damage. They also help prevent or reduce soft tissue damage, an example being a tooth that is forced through the lip. Finally there is evidence that mouth guards can significantly reduce concussions from hard blows to the mandible.
The use or more accurately the non-use of facial shields throws an interesting light on the psyche of hockey players. On several occasions we have had a player who had just suffered a significant injury. For example their lower incisors were knocked lingually several millimeters and one even had a partial mandibular fracture. The player/patient usually would rather lose a tooth than miss a period of play. They want to get back on the ice immediately. So we advised the player that he should wear a face guard to prevent another even more damaging blow to the injured area.
"Oh no." the players all say, "If I wear a guard the other players will know that's where I am hurt and they will go after me and try to hit that area."
In addition to treating game day injuries the team dentists do pre-season physicals. These are fairly basic. In fact, the hardest thing is to remember to use the Canadian tooth numbering system printed on the forms instead of the 1-32 system we use in the US. The primary purpose is to describe the condition of the player's mouth right now so that the team knows if an injury was due to a practice incident or if the player arrived with the condition. The second purpose is to identify any conditions which could exacerbate and affect the player's ability to play. In dentistry these are pretty rare, but could include a bombed out tooth that is ready to abscess.
Generally there are five medical staff people at every game. This includes an x-ray tech (who does most of the work) a general physician an orthopedic physician, an ophthalmologist, and the dentist. The physician and orthopedist seem to have something to do at every game. The dentist and eye doctor often do not have anything to do at the game but when a high stick slaps someone in the eye or a butt end snaps off a central, we are suddenly very busy.
People often ask if we travel with the team. The answer is no. The home team medical staff treats both the home team and the visitors. The exception to this is the playoffs. With seven consecutive high stakes games against the same team, knowing the medical condition of players can be a strategic advantage so the doctors go with the team and keep their mouths shut.
I have always shared the team dentist duties with other dentists. It is possible to do it all yourself, but having a group to cover the games makes it a lot easier. I mentioned my partner Ron Foeldi in addition other team dentists who have included: Rick Lawson, Rick Landgren and Byron Larson. Together, we try to keep the players' teeth off the ice and in their mouths where they belong.
Note from the Managing Editor:
Sitting with Dr. Emmott during a recent Phoenix Coyotes game, what struck me about him wasn't his thorough knowledge of the game (although he provided my wife and I with a concise and impressive synopsis of the rules); it was his enthusiasm for it. He cheers for the Coyotes both as their doctor and as a fan. Dr. Emmott may have over 20 years of experience as a professional hockey dentist, which is more than enough time to grow weary of hockey, but he still loves the game.
As someone who played hockey for years I couldn't resist asking Dr. Emmott a couple of questions between wrist shots, poke checks and kick saves, starting with, ""What's the worst injury you've had to treat?" Pausing for a second, he responded, "Well I wasn't covering the game that day, but I'd have to say the jaw injury to then Phoenix Coyote forward, Jeremy Roenick." In 1999, during a game vs. the Dallas Stars, Roenick was crushed into the boards by Stars defenseman Derian Hatcher. The force of the hit broke Roenick's jaw and left him out of the first few playoff games."
The other question I was able to squeeze in was, "What has been the most challenging aspect of treating professional hockey players?" "Not being able to follow up on treatment in many cases," he quickly replied. "Players are on the road a lot, they're busy, and they often get traded or move from farm teams to the professionals, so it's difficult to get them in. When it comes to treating the visitor's players, we often just numb them up so they can continue playing (the cold air going in and out of the mouth with a missing tooth is extremely painful). In most cases they'll receive treatment from their own doctor when they return home."

pregnant. Olivia wanted to have an abortion, but the doctor said that she was too far along in her pregnancy and could not have an abortion. At that point she started feeling scared.
Olivia was immediately placed on ZDV and informed that the ZDV was to benefit the baby's health. She was very compliant with treatment and kept every appointment. Her baby is negative.
Her partner's family reacted negatively because of her status. She, however, was not afraid to tell her own family and receives strong support from her family, which she attributes to the family's closeness. When Olivia's younger niece worries that Olivia would die and would not be able to take care of the baby or that the baby would die, Olivia responds, "You just have to pray."
She is now on triple therapy and Prozac because of her depression.
Tina who is six months pregnant, originally grew up in Puerto Rico and was probably infected there by an abusive boyfriend who later died of AIDS. After being tested while still living in Puerto Rico, a nurse called to say "you have to come down. It doesn't look good." She hung up, and did not get retested until after moving to San Antonio.
After complaining about migraines, she was admitted to the hospital, where it was determined that she was pregnant. For her prenatal care, she visited the health department and found out that she was 2 weeks pregnant and had HIV. She began to cry upon receipt of the news, but the physician comforted her by saying that "a positive status doesn't mean you're going to die." This gave Tina some hope.
Tina told her cousin about her HIV status, and her cousin told her whole family. Her family was not supportive, and Tina felt they were treating her like "trash." Her father, though, was very supportive.
Tina's partner also attended the meeting and reported that Puerto Rico is backwards compared to the United States in HIV care and understanding of the disease. HIV patients are not treated with dignity and there is condescension of the lifestyle these patients have led. Most people, he thinks, believe, "You did it, you deserve it."
Tina did not know that medications can help her baby until she saw her partner taking his medication.
She does not like being pushed and if testing were mandatory, she would go somewhere else for prenatal care.
Representing the committee were Katherine Luzuriaga and Stephen Thomas and IOM staff were Michael Stoto (study director) and Donna Almario.

Lori Montgomery took a trip down memory lane today, looking at the choices made over the past decade – most of them when Republicans held the Presidency and both houses of Congress – that led to the explosion in the national debt, when CBO forecasters predicted a full payoff of obligations at the time. It's a bit shameful that we even have to have this discussion, that you have to point out that massive tax cuts for the rich and unfunded health care benefits and two wars will increase the debt. And two recessions, including the largest one since the Depression, can account for most of the rest.
But in many ways this is a false discussion. It looks at CBO projections as if they have a successful track record. The fact is that they don't. And a recent example of how the CBO gets things wrong opens a window into the best way to turn those predictions around – through improving and growing the economy.
If we go back in 1996, we see that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) was still projecting a large deficit for the year 2000. In May of 1996 CBO projected that the deficit in 2000 would be $244 billion or 2.7 percent of GDP. It turned out that we actually ran a surplus in 2000 of $232 billion, or roughly 2.4 percent of GDP. This involves a shift from deficit to surplus of $476 billion or 5.1 percentage points of GDP. This would be equivalent to reducing the annual deficit by $750 billion in 2011 […]
As the chart shows, all of the improvement in the budget between 1996 and 2000 was due to the fact that the economy performed much better than expected and that CBO had been overly pessimistic about trends in government spending and tax collections. The legislative changes added by Congress in this period actually went the wrong way. So, we did not actually move from large deficits to surpluses by tax increases and/or spending cuts, we did it through a strong economy and some good luck with the cost of government programs and tax collections. (The biggest part of this picture is that Alan Greenspan ignored the orthodoxy in the economics profession and allowed the unemployment rate to decline by almost 2 percentage points below the conventionally accepted estimates of the NAIRU*, but we won't talk about that.)
Now, how far we move the deficit needle over the long term is somewhat ancillary to my main point. In truth, there's nothing like economic growth to reverse these kinds of projections and increase human welfare. When the economy grows more jobs are created. That leads to increased revenue and less money spent on automatic stabilizers like unemployment benefits and food stamps and Medicaid. Right now, with low borrowing costs and core inflation tracking below the baseline, the biggest single problem in the economy is a lack of jobs and a shortfall in demand. That was true in 2009, it was true in 2010 and it's true today. But that barely merits a discussion in Washington.
If you look at what held back GDP growth in the first quarter it was a reduction in government purchases. The slack housing market had something to do with it as well. Both of those problems are within Washington's capacity to fix, but they're too preoccupied with the budget deficit to care. But this gets the issue entirely backwards: we should want sustained economic growth because it would increase the welfare of the citizens of the country, and as an added side benefit it's the only way to meaningfully bring down the deficit, which is an impossibility in a time of 8-9% unemployment without letting people starve or die of untreated illness.
This is why some people talk about economics in crisis.

Lieberman Responds to Obama on Middle East
12:03 PM, May 20, 2011 • By DANIEL HALPER
Connecticut senator Joe Lieberman has issued the following statement in response to President Obama's Middle East address yesterday:
"President Obama delivered an eloquent and important speech yesterday that rightly aligned the United States with the winds of democratic change that are blowing across the Middle East. In his unequivocal support for the right of people everywhere to choose their leaders for themselves, President Obama evoked the best bipartisan, values-based foreign policy tradition that unites great Democratic presidents like Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Bill Clinton, with Republican counterparts like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. I also strongly support the economic measures the President announced to support the democratic transitions in Egypt and Tunisia, including the establishment of enterprise funds and the extension of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to the Middle East and North Africa.
"I am also grateful that the President at last spoke out about the campaign of murder and repression by Bashar al Assad in Syria. This was the first time the President personally addressed the deteriorating human rights situation in Syria since the uprising there began nearly two months ago. I hope the President in the days ahead continues to speak out about Syria and makes clear that it is time for Assad to go. I regret that he did not seize the opportunity to do so yesterday.
"Unfortunately, President Obama's important and constructive speech embracing and supporting the peaceful, democratic revolutions in the Arab world was also undermined by an unhelpful and surprising set of remarks about Israel and the Palestinians that will not advance the peace process and in fact is likely to set it back.
"While the President made some strong statements about the "unshakeable" support for Israel's security and rightly criticized the Palestinian pursuit of a symbolic statehood declaration at the UN in September, his unilateral call for negotiations on the basis of the 1967 lines with mutually agreed land swaps -- the first time any president has adopted this position -- was profoundly ill-advised. As in the case of the President's counterproductive demand for a settlement freeze two years ago, unilateral statements of this sort do nothing to bring the two parties back to the negotiating table and in fact make it harder for them to do so. They also damage the relationship of trust that is critical to peacemaking.
"In particular, the President's remarks have revived and exacerbated fears in Israel about the commitment and understanding of this Administration with regard to their unique security situation. The fact is, while the exciting and hopeful new reality in the Arab world is the Arab spring, the newest reality in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute is not hopeful. It is the threatening new unity government between the leadership of the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, a group which the U.S. government has long designated as terrorist because it is committed to violence and the destruction of Israel.
"In the days ahead, I hope President Obama will make clear Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with a Fatah-Hamas unity government until Hamas accepts the Quartet conditions. I also hope that the President will make clear that his Administration recognizes the 1967 borders themselves are no longer an acceptable endpoint for negotiations because they do not allow Israel to defend itself, and that any peace agreement must reflect new realities on the ground, including the major new Israeli communities that have grown up since 1967, and the need for an extended presence by the IDF in the Jordan River Valley.
"In the past few months, the forces of freedom and self-determination have begun to move inexorably through the region. It is in that movement where we can find the greatest hope for peace between neighbors in the region, including Israelis and Palestinians."
Tom Donnelly at AEI agrees that Obama has accepted the freedom agenda in the Middle East:

EgyptAir lost about $185 million last year
Wael el-Maadawi said Friday that EgyptAir's losses for the year ending this month were mainly due to an increase in fuel prices, the devaluation of the Egyptian currency and continuous strikes within the company. Losses the previous year were around double the 2012-2013 figures.
On Thursday, pilots staged a 10-hour sit-in at Cairo's international airport to demand management changes and bonus payments, delaying 22 flights.
The figures push to more than 7 billion pounds, or nearly 1 billion dollars, the total losses the carrier has suffered since the 2011 uprising that toppled longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak. A plunge in tourism has also hit the airline.

Animals are amazing--especially when they're your baby's favorite Disney pals! Join Dumbo, Simba, and Lucky on an exciting Fisher-Price Disney Amazing Animals Baby Sing-Along Choo Choo adventure! More than 15 sing-along songs, tunes, and phrases play as your baby rolls along. The smoke stack lights up too! Shake Lucky for rattle sounds, and move Dumbo and Simba's head and legs--they have clicking, movable joints! The train includes power/volume control for quiet play.
The Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Disney Baby Sing-Along Choo- Choo brings three of your baby's favorite Disney character friends to classic Fisher-Price push-along, roll-along, crawl-along choo-choo train fun! Babies can join Dumbo, Simba, and Lucky on an exciting adventure fueled by imagination--and more than 15 sing-along songs, tunes, and phrases, including a familiar tune from the movie! As your baby rolls the train along, music and a light-up smoke stack are activated.
The Sing-Along Choo Choo gets fun and learning right on track! Three playful Disney friends come along for the ride, and they can play off the train, too. Dumbo and Simba have clicking, movable joints and textured feet, and Lucky shakes up fun with surprise rattle sounds. Add to the fun by teaching your baby his or her first words. Point to Dumbo's ears, and then to baby's ears. Point to Simba's paws, and then to baby's hands and feet. You'll be making connections and having fun!
The train cars have fun features, too, and each is styled in one of the three Disney baby character themes. Dumbo leads the way in a colorful circus-themed engine car with a light-up smoke stack that responds to your baby's touch. When your baby presses the smoke stack or pushes the train along, the train "magically" comes to life with music, sounds, and lights!
Next in line is Simba's jungle theme car with overhead bar--just right for baby Simba to hang by his tail as he rides along. Little Lucky loves to ride in the caboose, complete with a roller bar bead for spinning, bat-at fun.
The Fisher-Price Disney baby Sing-Along Choo-Choo is more than just fun--it's full of learning too! Lights, sounds, music and fun touch-and-feel textures stimulate baby's senses of sight, sound, and touch. Clicking movable joints encourage baby to twist and turn character friends' heads, arms, and legs, exercising fine motor skills.
Putting and taking friends in and out of the train cars helps baby develop hand-eye coordination, while matching the characters to their themed cars promotes problem-solving skills. Playing with favorite friends gives baby a sense of security and happiness--and of course, pushing the train while crawling along helps baby develop balance, coordination, and gross motor skills.
Power and volume controls lets your baby play quietly.

John Sharp, chancellor of The Texas A&M University System, today announced that Deloitte Consulting, LLP has completed their study of Information Technology (IT) infrastructure throughout the A&M System. The study included 29 detailed recommendations with anticipated savings of $200 million over the next ten years or $20 million per year if infrastructure changes are implemented.
"As soon as I started this job, our auditor reported that the rising costs of IT at the A&M System were unsustainable, therefore we initiated a review of IT immediately utilizing Deloitte," said Sharp. "There is no way to have an efficient operation of any kind without a first-class IT department. We will immediately begin implementing these recommendations, which will not only save money, but will enable us to have the best IT department in the state." The report covers all A&M System members. It points out a lack of unified vision at the system-level, while structural and funding challenges have forced members to be self-sufficient with limited opportunities for cooperation. The result has been an inefficient structure that presents challenges in attracting, hiring and retaining qualified IT staff. However, some system members, including Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Texas A&M International University, Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi, Texas A&M University - Kingsville, Texas A&M Transportation Institute and West Texas A&M University have well developed and highly functioning IT leadership.
There was no immediate timing discussed for a rollout of the suggested changes, but given the potential savings and opportunity to improve both the quality and efficiency of the IT infrastructure, the chancellor assures the project will be a high priority.
"This set of recommendations has been delivered to each CEO of the system," said Sharp. "It has been developed with strong grassroots IT support throughout the system, and I believe will be implemented in its entirety." Information on the current status of Texas A&M System IT infrastructure is available here: http://news.tamus.edu/it-faqs.
Statements from Texas A&M University System members: Texas A&M University
"I was briefed Monday afternoon about the Deloitte IT study and am taking their recommendations under advisement. My goal is to always strive to improve efficiencies and services that support excellent teaching, research and outreach at Texas A&M University," said Dr. Mark Hussey, interim president of Texas A&M University.
West Texas A&M University
"I believe we have been able to make great progress at West Texas A&M University over the past several years in containing costs while at the same time keeping pace with technology and enhancing IT services for student learning and student and faculty research. I look forward to implementing the Deloitte recommendations which will allow us to provide even better IT programs and services to our faculty, staff, and students," said Dr. Pat O'Brien, president of WTAMU.
Texas A&M University-Kingsville
"This report and its mention of our campus show that our efforts are recognized, but we know there is more that can be done. We look forward to working with our A&M System partners to continue making improvements and building a more collaborative and cohesive environment," said Dr. Steven H. Tallant, president of A&M-Kingsville.
Texas A&M International University
We are very pleased to see this report reach its final form, and are grateful to the System for pursuing efficiency measures." said Dr. Ray Keck, president of Texas A&M International University. " Chancellor Sharp is committed to channeling all possible resources into the academic mission of our institutions. We salute him for his vision." Texas A&M University-Texarkana "Recommendations in the report will allow a relatively small campus such as A&M-Texarkana to leverage the resources of the A&M System to develop and maintain state-of-the-art IT services--an achievement that would be difficult, if not impossible, for us to obtain on our own," said Dr. Emily Cutrer, president of A&M-Texarkana.
Texas A&M University-Central Texas
"As a new institution, Texas A&M University-Central Texas is well-positioned to incorporate the beneficial changes in IT envisioned by Chancellor Sharp and the Deloitte report," said Dr. Marc Nigliazzo, president of A&M-Central Texas. "The university is already building its IT capability in a cost-efficient, outsourcing agreement with the Ellucian corporation for the implementation of the Banner student information system, while simultaneously undergoing audit review by the A&M System to define pathways to future excellence. Support from the A&M System has proved invaluable and promises even greater efficiency and effectiveness through planned collaboration with other A&M System universities." Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service "The recommendations in this report will help TEEX to better serve our customers while maintaining our commitment as good stewards of state resources," said Gary Sera, director of Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service.
Texas A&M Transportation Institute
"The Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) has worked hard to provide a quality IT system and effective IT services for our employees, and we are pleased that the audit recognizes our efforts," said TTI Director Dennis Christiansen. "We look forward to working with the A&M System going forward to implement the recommendations of the study." About the A&M System The A&M System is one of the largest systems of higher education in the nation, with a budget of $3.8 billion. Through a statewide network of 11 universities, seven state agencies, two service units and a comprehensive health science center, the A&M System educates more than 131,000 students and makes more than 22 million additional educational contacts through service and outreach programs each year. Externally funded research expenditures exceed $820 million and help drive the state's economy.

Tandus Flooring's Sero design technology revolutionized the way modular carpet is designed by thinking beyond the square. The Sero process begins with the Powerbond platform then transforms the design into modular. Now with the availability of an 18"x36" modular carpet, design is truly more than just a square.
The introduction of Sero design technology was highlighted with the Change Collection consisting of three innovative styles: Change, Nonconform and Factory Floor. Recognized with last year's Best of NeoCon Editor's Choice award, these styles visually illustrate the Sero design approach which emphasizes the design of the floor plane rather than the square.
The launch of Sero also introduced a unique and easy solution for installing large scale patterns to create a unified modular floor design: unidirectional. This same installation method is available with the 18"x36" modular along with herringbone and vertical ashlar, all of which demonstrate how the patterns, textures and colors flow, pool and shift from tile to tile, no matter what the size.
The Change Collection in modular is available with four backing options including ER3, our 100% recycled backing; ethos backing recycled from the film in safety glass and windshields; Flex-Aire for comfort and performance; and Conserv, which uses less non-renewable resources and weigh 25% less than standard modular carpet. Like all Tandus Flooring products, styles within the Change Collection are 100% recyclable through Tandus Flooring's Infinity Initiative, the industry's first closed-loop recycling program.

The statement read:
"Officials at West Texas A&M University have received notice from the NCAA that an investigation is under way into the University's athletics department, specifically the football program.
The investigation relates to a set of violations reviewed by the University and reported to the NCAA. As a result of the Spring 2013 internal review, the University self-imposed sanctions on the football program.
WTAMU officials and individuals will cooperate fully with the NCAA as it pursues this investigation. If violations are substantiated through the investigation process, the case will be handled either through a summary disposition or a hearing process.
The enforcement staff of the NCAA is a cooperative program working with member schools and allied conferences to improve the administration of intercollegiate athletics. Throughout the investigation process, WTAMU will be updated on the status at six-month intervals."
University officials told KAMR NBC 4 that the university would have no further comment on the matter and refused to disclose what the "self-imposed sanctions" were.
The WT football team will begin its season on Saturday in Gunninson, Colorado. You can see the game live beginning at 1:30 CST on KAMR NBC 4.

Judge Lisa Godbey Wood to Deliver Commencement Address
Brunswick, GA – The 2013 commencement ceremony for the College of Coastal Georgia will be held at the Jekyll Island Convention Center on Saturday morning, May 11. Chief United States District Judge for the Southern District of Georgia, the Honorable Lisa Godbey Wood, will be the commencement speaker. Chief Judge Wood and Dave Gittings, Area Director of the Golden Isles Fellowship of Christian Athletes, will assist College President Valerie A. Hepburn, PhD, in conferring degrees.
Judge Wood will use the commencement address as an opportunity to challenge the graduates professionally and personally. "The most accomplished, interesting and selfless people I know are those who find ways to keep a spark of inspiration burning not just on momentous occasions, but every common day. Special occasions such as college graduation can serve as an opportunity to ignite that spark," she said.
Judge Wood is a 1990 summa cum laude graduate of the University of Georgia School of Law. She served as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable Anthony A. Alaimo, United States District Court, Southern District of Georgia for one year before joining the Brunswick law firm of Gilbert, Harrell, Sumerford and Martin in 1991. Within four years she was a partner in the firm.

In 2007, the U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed Judge Wood to become the first female federal District Court judge for the Southern District of Georgia. In 2010, she was sworn in as the District's new Chief Judge and she currently serves on the Executive Committee of the U. S. Council for the Eleventh Circuit.
Her judicial rise is not her only peak experiences. In 2003, she climbed to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. She climbed the Salcantay Pass to Machu Picchu in Peru during 2006 and completed the Tour du Mont Blanc in 2011. Her next goal is to hike Spain in the fall.

Organic Foods.
I find that many foods grown using organic methods taste better, especially vegetables and eggs. Having done more than a little thinking on the subject, I think I have figured out why, but I want to hear what Serious Eaters think of the taste of the so-called "organic" foods.

An investigator with the Madison County District Attorney's Office has been suspended pending the outcome of an investigation by the Attorney General's Office.
Thursday Madison County District Attorney Brian Risinger did confirm Justin Barham -- the narcotics and organized crime Investigator -- is being accused of misconduct; and was suspended on December 17th.
This is an active investigation -- which means the details surrounding the misconduct accusations are being kept to a minimum by authorities. News 3 has learned Barham graduated from police academy in 2008 where he worked as a Madisonville Police officer. According to authorities, in an effort to crack down on narcotics inside Madison County; Barham was hired at the end of 2011 as an investigator specializing in organized crime and narcotics for the Madison County District Attorney's office.
If Barham is found guilty, the DA says he could face criminal charges. If that happens, some cases Barham has solved or worked on over the last year have the potential to be dismissed. News 3's Nicole Morten will continue investigating and bring more information as soon as it becomes available.

I don't think flat toms are as much a fashion in themselves as they are a practical result of the tendencies for both "virgin" bass drums and for toms to be shallower than 20 years ago. It also seems like most people have caught on to the concept of back pain so they arent sitting as low.
Add those three things to a new set bought by someone used to playing power toms and I think most people would look at them and say "those don't need to be angled like Mickey Mouse ears anymore"
Standard sized toms were also available 20 years ago,as well as since the 40's,up to and including today.Power toms were drum fashion,with power tom sizes STILL available from drum makers as well as from shell manufacturers.
The consept of the virgin bass drum is also nothing new,as toms were mounted on bass drums using clamps ,since the mid 30's.Now we're just using clamps to mount them to racks and cymbal stands.
The consept of virgin bass drums being better sonicly is again,more drum re- fashion than actually decernable.I'd love to hear a blind comparison test of a virgin drum and one that has mounts attached.
It is in truth , more style than actual substance.
As far as flat toms,just as one example,Emmanule Cappalette has superb posture while playing,and nothing is flat about her set up at all.The same can be said for Simon Phillips.Just watch him play .He uses 24" bass drums and deep toms,and has excellent posture.He also dosen't seem to have to struggle to play his kit at all considering he's only around 5'6".
Posture is all about there you sit,in relation to your set up,and keeping your back stright and not reaching for everything.The whole powertom angleing thing was more about looks and using 14x13 and 15x14 and even larger toms with 24-26 ' bass drums.
I had a 12/13 power toms set up and a 22" bass drum.No Mickey Mouse ear angles were necessary.
No matter what set up you use,if you sit too high or too low,and don't have everything is easy reach......you'll have problems that smaller bass drums and flat toms can't cure.
I disagree and I still contend flat tom set ups are drum fashion,and will go the way of Chinese toms.
I'll also go a step further and say the vast majority of drummers play their kits set up since the way the've been set up since the 40's,and setting up with flat toms is greatly limited to younger players only.
If you like flat toms,then hey,what ever blows your hair back,but better for posture and more ergonomic? Horsey turd.Bangs and the foward comb are as big as they were in the 60's too..:)

Good employers have made significant gains in making their workplaces gay-friendly. However many employers still fail to create a workplace culture where all staff, regardless of their sexual orientation, can perform to the best of their abilities. Research shows however that in almost every organisation the vast majority of employees want their workplaces to be gay-friendly and free of homophobia. YouGov polling of over 2,000 heterosexuals across Britain, commissioned by Stonewall, found that nine in ten support legal protections from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation in the workplace and three in four believe that anti-gay prejudice should be tackled. These straight people therefore play a crucial role in making the workplace more inclusive.
Many lesbian, gay and bisexual people still have negative experiences because of their sexual orientation and feel unable to be out at work. Stonewall research shows that in 2011 two in five gay people still do not feel able to be out to their managers, and three in four do not feel able to be out with clients or suppliers (Workplace Equality Index, 2011). Research has also shown that this often has an impact on their performance at work (Peak Performance, 2008).
Every lesbian, gay or bisexual person has to make a conscious decision about whether they will be open about their sexual orientation at work. However, it's not simply a case of coming out once. Gay people have to decide to come out every time they meet new colleagues, clients, suppliers or stakeholders. In some instances gay people who have come out at work have been ostracised or harassed by their colleagues. Bullying and harassment of lesbian, gay and bisexual colleagues is still common, with one in seven heterosexuals in the national workforce saying they've witnessed homophobic bullying of colleagues at work (Living Together, 2007).
Lesbian, gay and bisexual people who do not feel able to be out at work often expend significant amounts of energy on avoiding being outed, energy that could be spent on performing more effectively in their job. Many feel they need to avoid forming close relationships with colleagues, avoiding anything that may reveal aspects of their personal life at work and telling lies about their life simply to avoid being outed.
This can have an obvious effect on performance. They feel less confident, less motivated, unable to put everything into their job and unable to use their personal experiences to develop creative solutions at work. Not being able to engage with others honestly about who they are has an effect on their relationships with colleagues, managers, clients and stakeholders. They can often be seen as untrustworthy, unfriendly or an unwilling 'team player'.
The decision to come out is made easier however if gay people believe their managers, colleagues and clients will support them. This can be clearly demonstrated by colleagues making a visible effort to make the workplace more gay-friendly.
[Back to top]
Everyone in an organisation has a role to play to make their workplaces more gay-friendly. However, it's clear that heterosexual people play a crucial role, particularly if they hold positions of leadership.
"Mathematically, most leaders of most organisations are likely to be heterosexual - so it's absolutely essential that heterosexual people have a good understanding of why this is an important issue." Alex Marshall, Chief Constable, Hampshire Constabulary
"Acceptance is only possible if it's articulated by those who aren't gay. It's absolutely fundamental that the straight community are those who articulate this message. The acceptance in the Ministry of Defence that it was right that our people should be allowed to march at London Pride in uniform was driven from the top by people who were straight, not gay." Vice Admiral Charles Montgomery CBE ADC, Second Sea Lord, Royal Navy
Interventions made by heterosexual people can also have a greater impact. Straight allies agree that if they raise the issue then the charge of self-interest cannot be levelled and this makes their colleagues more receptive to the message.
"When lesbian or gay colleagues get up and talk about LGBT issues, people hearing those issues may say 'well you would say that, wouldn't you because you're a member of the gay community.' When straight allies say the same thing, it has a different impact." Chris Murray, Member of the National Grid Leadership Team and CEO, Xoserve Ltd.
"It's one thing someone saying 'its important because it affects me directly' but it's different when someone says 'I can see how this is affecting someone else and it's something that we all need to sort out.' It can make the message stronger." Louise Bailey, Permitting Officer, Environment Agency
"It gives it greater credence by the fact that it's not because of a vested interest. If straight people can add their voice I do think it's capable of making people realise that it has very strong merits." Chris Hamilton, Chairman, Oldham Rugby League Football Club
Their gay colleagues agree.
"Straight allies, particularly at senior levels, are fundamental to making gay equality work because if you're seen to be the gay member of staff who's running around doing it on your own then people think 'all the work you're doing is self-serving, you're only helping yourself, you're helping a small group.' So I think there's a huge role for straight allies because they lend credibility, they help unlock resources, they get buy-in internally and they impress people externally. If you don't have the support of straight allies then people will always ask 'why are you doing this? Isn't this favouritism? Why are you just catering to a certain group?' " Daniel Winterfeldt, Head of International Capital Markets, CMS Cameron McKenna LLP
Straight allies agree that the burden of responsibility shouldn't rest solely on gay colleagues' shoulders.
"The biggest danger when you're looking for leadership is to find your most senior, open gay person and say 'because you're openly gay, and you're senior, you're now going to be the champion of LGB issues.' Why should that person be the champion of LGB issues just because they're openly gay? That's a real imposition." Martin Hall, Vice-Chancellor, Salford University
"Our most senior out gay member of staff said 'I don't want to be the person who always has to champion sexual orientation issues - I want to focus on the job I do'." Lucy Malarkey, Head of Neighbourhoods, Gentoo Sunderland
Championing workplace equality for gay people doesn't require special skills or attributes. Straight allies agree that the skills they use to advocate gay equality are the same skills they use every day in their jobs.
"I don't think you need any special skills above and beyond what you already need to be a good leader - it's just part of being a good people developer." Gareth Hall, Senior Manager, Accenture
"I don't think I've got special skills. But the fact that you try is received well, and as long as you do something with a good heart nobody's going to respond negatively. You've just got to want to make a difference and be willing to try." Nicholas Crapp, Managing Director, Goldman Sachs
Many feel it is important to always remember why they are straight allies - for most it is because of a belief that everyone should treat others how they would wish to be treated themselves. This strong foundation gives them confidence.
"I believe that everybody should be treated how you want to be treated yourself, it doesn't matter whether you're lesbian, gay or bisexual." Louise Goldsmith, Leader, West Sussex County Council
"People are terrified of saying the wrong thing and they therefore probably tread too gently around issues they should be more robust about. This is a people issue, it's about how you treat people and I think you need to be confident that if you treat someone as a human being they'll respond to you as a human being." Mike Eland, Director General, HM Revenue and Customs
"The explicit reason why I champion lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans issues at Salford is precisely because I'm straight. And that's a very important message, because if a heterosexual person says 'I'm leading on this issue because I believe it affects everybody' then that has a real impact." Martin Hall, Vice-Chancellor, Salford University
Some organisations have developed formal straight ally programmes to encourage and support more straight people to become allies. Some do this by having a 'friends', 'allies' or supporters network to allow straight allies to support the work of the LGB staff network. Others have introduced reverse mentoring schemes to allow managers to get to know gay colleagues and learn about their experiences in the workplace. One example is the MD Ally programme at Goldman Sachs. The programme allows managing directors within the firm to engage with their gay colleagues.
"The MD Ally programme is about getting the broadest, most representative group of senior people involved in LGBT issues, acting as informed advocates, sitting in senior positions in all the divisions. The leveraging effect of that is significant, because you've got a lot of people talking about the issues, using the words and talking to other colleagues. And people look upwards to see what their managers are doing. They see what they are saying. They see that they are proud to be associated with the programme. They see what actions they are taking." Glenn Earle, Chief Operating Officer of European Businesses, Goldman Sachs

DC in the Glass City: Comedian Curry returns for gigWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
Toledoans have had the chance to see comic Don "D.C." Curry before, as part of the Royal Comedy Tour that rolled through town a few years ago. But his upcoming gig at the Funny Bone at Fat Fish Blue in Perrysburg — where he'll be performing from July 12-15 — will be the first time he'll get to work a club in the area.
Since Curry's last Toledo gig was so limited, he doesn't have a lot of memories of the Glass City — which is not necessarily a bad thing. "You remember some things that are bad about some places, but I don't remember anything bad about Toledo," Curry said with a laugh in an interview with Toledo Free Press.
For a veteran comic like Curry, who has more than 27 years in the business behind him, a gig in a comedy club like the Funny Bone is more of a natural habitat than the Royal Comedy Tour could provide. "The main difference is the time restraint when you're on concert, so you really don't get a chance to develop stories, because you're so limited, time-wise. You gotta get on and you gotta get off. So you get on and you compact a lot of stuff to get it in.
"Of course, there's more money in concerts, but I actually prefer the clubs, man," Curry stated. "I think comedy is more suited for an intimate setting, and the clubs provide that. They give you a chance to really stretch out."
Curry has the ability to adapt to whatever the environment, however. Nearly three decades of seasoning as a performer have given him a great many tools in his comedic arsenal, he noted.
"It gives you a broader sense of human humor, if you would. Meaning humor that pertains, basically, to the population no matter where you are. So it localizes you when you travel. And you find out, likewise, that other segments of society — there are some things that are different between different people, but there are some things that are universal, no matter where you go. And I think that's a major development in comedy — you develop a sense of what's universal."
Asked to describe the feelings being onstage as a comic can give a performer, Curry considers his performance in athletic terms.
"Sports-wise, I would compare it to golf. It's all on you. You know, it's not like a band, where you can blame it on the music," he said with a laugh. "And you can't call on the band for help. It's all on you. And I've compared it to acting, which I've done some acting. But in acting, you may or may not agree with the content or what you're saying … but in stand-up comedy, you're the writer, you're the producer, you're the performer and you've got nobody to blame but yourself."
Curry's expertise at delivering punchlines is not limited to the club stage, though — he has experience in a wide array of performance arenas, including five years as a comic commentator on the radio in Dallas. He credits his days on the air with helping to polish his onstage technique.
"I think my radio experience helped me more with being descriptive, and I'd recommend it to any young comedian. Because what you have to do — and I know some physical comics that are very funny, but it's just not particularly my cup of tea. And in a radio situation, you have to paint the picture without them seeing you. So, it's all — there is no visual at all. So you have to develop the picture, and I think radio forces you to do that."
In addition to the requisite stand-up specials and talk-show appearances, Curry's also appeared on film as the crazy Uncle Elroy in the "Friday" sequels, as well as a recurring role on the popular mid-'90s sitcom "Grace Under Fire."
"Normally, a comic will have a little leeway," Curry said, remembering his sitcom experiences. "But you're acting. And I recognize stand-up is a form of acting, but you have the opportunity to make it real and direct it as you would prefer it to be. And there's an instant gratification in stand-up, that you don't get necessarily from acting."
In the end though, for Curry it all comes back to his life in front of the club audiences. "A lot of people view stand-up as a vehicle to become something. But I'm a stand-up comic. Acting's fine, I enjoy it, and I take it seriously when I get those opportunities. But I'm a stand-up comic at heart."

The Importance Of Talking To Your Kids About Disability
Wednesday, March 5th, 2014
This is a post in the weekly Autism Hopes series by Lisa Quinones-Fontanez, a mom who blogs over at Atypical Familia (formerly of AutismWonderland).
I once asked a friend if her son knew that he has autism. "No," she said, "We're not that kind of family." I left it at that because I understood what she meant.
Growing up we never talked about my sister's intellectual disability. My sister's original diagnosis was mental retardation and on the occasion my mother referred to it, she'd say, "She's not retarded. She's just a little slow."
I can't fault my mother for not being open about my sister's disability. My mother's of another generation. And my sister – who is in her mid-twenties – is quite "high-functioning." She works part-time, she goes to the gym, she takes the train by herself.
The other day we were out for a family dinner – talking and laughing the way families do. And as my sister was telling me a story, she used the "r-word" to describe something she thought was stupid.
There are times when I hear it, I speak out against it. And there are moments when I let it go. But whenever the word is used in front of my son, I can't let it go. I will not allow anyone to use the r-word in front of Norrin. I will tell them to use another word.
Hearing my sister use the word upset me and I couldn't let it go. She used it in front of Norrin. She used a word that degrades herself and every individual with a disability. When I explained to her why I didn't want her using the word, she apologized. "It's just slang," she said.
My sister believed it was slang because she was never taught otherwise. We never talked about the r-word at all in our house.
But the r-word is not "just slang." It's a slur. It's a word meant to insult. In a recent Huffington Post article by John C. McGinley, he writes:
…however blithe the everyday practice of spicing up one's speech with the words "retard," "retarded" and the suffix "-tard" has become? The (presumably) unintended result is still the same. A population of people, who has never done anything to harm anyone, is circuitously targeted and suffers from a trickle-down discrimination that is very real and very painful.
My sister is a hard worker, she is a talented artist and she's bright. She's a young women worthy of respect, not ridicule. I wouldn't want anyone to use the r-word in my sister's presence and I certainly don't want her using it.
My son Norrin doesn't know that he has autism, he is not capable of understanding his diagnosis just yet. But we don't whisper the word autism. One day, we will tell Norrin he is autistic. It's not about being a certain kind of family. It's about teaching him who he is. And teaching him to stand up for himself when he is being discriminated against.
Today is the day to Spread The Word – the annual day to raise awareness about using the r-word. I admire this online movement and those committed to taking the pledge. But awareness needs to begin at home. We need to talk about disability and the words that we use. We need to talk to them about respect for all. We need to talk to them about the weight of their words. Words are powerful weapons and like any other weapon, we need to teach our kids how to use them responsibly.

This place is definitely where people come when Bonita is too packed, I'd say. Our food took 50 minutes to come, and came 15 minutes after our unfriendly waitress said it was "ready and coming out right now." It was pretty bland, bougie, east-coast Mexican food. Not the worst food around, for sure, but definitely not the best. They are pretty generous with avacados in burritos, which is nice. The place is very cute. But if you're in the neighborhood, I would suggest that you go elsewhere

Beg to differ w/ previous reviewer - we think Taco Chulo is da bomb! Way cool atmosphere, great vegan options, the horchata is *fresh* (not watery), fish taco is wonderful. Taco tortillas made fresh on the spot; all the ingredients fresh and organic; presentation sublime. Fun DJ on weekend nites. Delicately spiced and flavorful burritos. Very creative menu.

I had heard good things about this place, but was thoroughly unimpressed with the ordinary, flavorless food. The service was nice and friendly and it is nice that they apparently use organic, high quality ingredients, but that doesn't make up for the fact that the "seared pork" was boring and the horchata was watery. I'm disparing of ever finding good mexican in new york.

Chelsea and Inter have been long-term admirers of the Brazilian schemer, with reports suggesting Inter are leading the chase to sign Paulinho.
Inter are thought to be trying to raise funds to make a move with Philippe Coutinho seemingly on his way to Liverpool.
However, Corinthians director of sport Roberto de Andrade has played down talk linking Paulinho with a move away before the close of the transfer window.
"At the moment, Inter have not made contact with us," Andrade told Calciomercato.it.
"I can assure you we have not received any offers from Italy, nor from Chelsea for our player."
Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni was remaining coy on the club's pursuit of Paulinho, but admitted they could sell some players to enable them to bring in new faces.
"I could let go of a player as long as another will arrive who can help the squad. Paulinho? I won't comment on names until the window closes," noted Stramaccioni.
