Like most Associate Professors, Dr. Daniel Berleant has to apply for funding
to support his research and graduate students. So he writes proposals.
Naturally he wins some and he loses some. Being a scientist, after all,
he wondered whether there were factors beyond the content of the proposals
that affected the chances of success. So he did a study, which was published
in the Communications of the ACM, a leading professional journal.
conclusion is that simple choices in formatting and organization do make
a difference in the chances of success of a proposal. Proposals from university
researchers are made to government funding agencies, philanthropic organizations,
and R&D units of large corporations. Thus it is possible that his conclusions
will not hold for proposals made by vendors in competitive sales situations.
However, we'd be surprised if some of these results don't carry over.
seeking funding or a contract, the writer of a proposal is attempting
to communicate ideas to the reader, and most readers are pretty much the
same. For example, a study that was reported more than two decades ago
showed that readers of technical manuals preferred writing at a 5th grade
level, regardless of whether they were administrative assistants with
high school diplomas or scientists with Ph.D.s. So we'd advise vendors
to look closely at these results, which we summarize in the next section.
If you're unsure, you could do your own internal study. Or, why not contribute
some funding to help Professor Berleant move his results into the commercial
arena? Couldn't hurt.
Professor Berleant looked at the formatting and organizational parameters
of 30 proposals to one funding agency. The proposals had been rated by
the funding agency as "Highly Competitive," "Competitive," and "Not Competitive."
Table 1 shows the ratings received by the thirty proposals based on the
font sizes used for the body of the text.
1 Competitiveness vs. Font Size
1 shows these data in a possibly more useful different form. The orange
line shows the probability of a proposal receiving a Highly Competitive
rating given the font size used; the blue line shows the probability of
receiving a rating of Competitive or better. With due allowance for the
small sample size it does appear safe to suggest that a proposal in 10
or 11 point text has a much better chance of success than one in a larger
or smaller size. (Please note that the next section will discuss the degree
to which results like these can or should be understood as offering causal
1. Likelyhood of Sucess For Different Font Sizes
Berleant also looked at the use of sans-serif sub headings when the proposal
itself is in a serif font. Those results show that the probability of
a proposal being Highly Competitive is more than twice as high if sans
serif headings are used than if the headings do have serifs. The sample
here had only 16 data points, since all of the other proposals were entirely
in sans serif font. Note that of the 16 proposals in which a serif font
was used for the text body, none were found to be Not Competitive. On
the other hand, twelve of the remaining 14 proposals, all written in sans
serif font throughout were determined to be Non Competitive. If you are
about to send out a proposal written in Ariel or Courier throughout, TEC
strongly recommends that you try Times Roman instead.
study also looked at subsection numbering, somewhat more common in academic
than commercial proposals. The question was whether the numbering of subsections
in the main part of the proposal should be relative to that section or
whether they should reflect their position within the larger document.
That is, if the narrative is section 3 of the proposal, should its sections
be numbered as 1, 2, or 3.1, 3.2? The conclusion is quite clear that
the former, simpler scheme is the one that pays the rent.
The study also looked at the organization of the content. Should there
be a conclusion section? Although the guidelines did not call for a conclusion,
Figure 2 shows that the proposals with conclusions scored much better
than those that didn't.
2. Probability of Success Given Presence or Absence of Conclusion
all proposals were required to have summaries, authors took different
approaches to whether the summary section was reused, in whole or in part,
in the main narrative sections. Proposals rated Highly Competitive tended
not to do this. However when those rated either Highly Competitive or
Competitive are examined the better strategy seems to be that some reuse
of the summary can be helpful; see Figure 3.
3. Probability of Success Given Reuse of Summary
submission: The more competitive proposals were the ones that tended
to be submitted early, as Figure 4 demonstrates. This is consistent with
what your mother told you.
4. Probability of Success Given Submission Date
What is most interesting is not the specific results as the fact that
there were definite identifiable success factors. Some may seem obvious
to anyone who has had to read a number of proposals in a short period
of time, others like the strong preference for contrasting headings, are
less so. Overall, the clear conclusion is that the form of a proposal
has a relationship to its likelihood of success.
that there is a relationship does not tell us what that relationship was.
That is, we can't tell whether it was the use of contrasting headings
that made a difference or just that the people who were successful tended
to be the ones who used contrasting headings. Were early submissions more
successful because the early submission impressed the judge, because the
judge had more time to read it, because people who get their proposals
in are the ones who write better proposals, or because the later submissions
had a last-minute look to them?
of whether the features studied were the causes of the success (or failure)
of proposals or whether they are diagnostic indicators of other factors
that weren't directly studied, both academic proposal writers and vendors

A 10-day self support kayak trip down amazing whitewater with an epic crew.
A month long kayak adventure in the eastern Sayan Mountains of Siberia. 10 kayakers...2 river systems...liters of vodka...crazy discos...border crossings...drunken Russian poachers...the list goes on :)
So you're looking for a pair of shoes to wear kayaking? With so many options out there, from kayak specific shoes to runners to … well you get the point …it can be a little challenging to pick the right one. Especially considering shoes don't come cheap these days. Let me explain a situation that occurred to me a few years ago that had me really thinking about my shoes.
The fall rains have kept my local gem of a run, The Middle Box to Baker's Box section of the Animas, flowing in late summer. It's an incredibly beautiful section of river that few get to see.
I had been working teaching kayaking and was keen to get out with the crew and get on something challenging. After staying a few extra days to work, I knew my time off was limited. The usual 7 days off between work stints had quickly turned to 4. It's a beautiful world when you can get online, find your mates, and start planning something. A few emails later…I was quickly heading out of the California Salmon River drainage driving south 14hrs, to meet up with Josh Nielson, Tyler Fox, and Adrienne Kiernan. Along with Adrienne...

I recently did a sweep test and I can easily hear past 20k (I don't have to turn up the volume or anything). But I had a hard time telling ff123's mustange clips Original from 15kHz cutoff.
I then encoded a some music at --lowpass 16 and could distinguish no loss of frequency.
Does anyone have a clip where the difference is blindly obvious to them. Lowpassing at 16 saves a lot of bits and if I can't tell the difference, why waste them? Perhaps my material does not make it obvious enough.

Now I burned a CD with with most of the sample directory:
original wav, followed by APS --lowpass 16 -V3 -b90 then back to wav.
Plus the sweep (but it was limited to some lower frequency on disk).
The only spot where I thought I noticed a difference was on Castanets. And it might not be the low pass that was doing it, but just my solution not using enough bits for the attacks.
The sweep sounded the same lowpassed as original, once I got away from the nasty aliasing distortion of my computer. I think I can peg my cutoff around 15-16KHz.
What kind of sound cards is everyone using that doesnt give them this crappy alaising???

Finger Injuries
Nothing To Thumb Your Nose At
Finger injuries in athletics are very common. Most of these injuries are small however, some can be major. It is very important, especially in the skeletally immature athlete, to not miss a potentially debilitating injury.
General management of finger injuries should begin with a detailed history of the injury. An Athletic Trainer will be the front line medical professional with athletes and many times will treat the injury immediately after it has occurred. If the injury is sub-acute (seen well after the accident) the history is extremely important. The history should include mechanism of injury, previous injury, whether the joint was dislocated (out of place) and if so, how it was reduced.
Any finger injury that is sustained by a young adolescent (12 - 16) should be seen by a physician and have x-rays performed. These skeletally immature athletes are very susceptible to developing debilitating joint arthritis later in adulthood.
The anatomy of the fingers is depicted in this picture. The joints of the finger are comprised of the two bones, ligaments, and tendons. The dynamic interaction of these structures maintains the stability of the finger joints.
The most common joint injured the proximal-interphalangeal (PIP) joint (the middle joint of the finger). The most common mechanism of injury is hyperextension. The joint is straightened too far. Other common mechanisms of injury are torsion and axial loading. The distal interphalangeal (DIP) (joint near the finger nail) is injured less often due to the small size of the distal phalanx (finger bone). Its small size means that it would take a major force moment to injure this joint.
A hyperextension mechanism to any joint of the finger, either to the PIP or DIP, can result in a sprain of the volar or palmar plate. The volar plate is a very thick ligament that prevents hyperextension injuries. If the force is sufficient enough, the joint may be dislocated. The most common dislocation of the PIP results in dorsal (upward) displacement of the middle phalanx.
A simple hyperextension may result in a small avulsion (chip) fracture of the volar plate. This x-ray demonstrates this injury. This injury is most often treated with immobilization at 20º to 30º of flexion for 2 to 4 weeks. In contrast, a hyperextension that results in dislocation can produce a much larger fragment. The fragment in this x-ray needs surgical treatment to repair the fragment.
Finger joint stability is also provided by the collateral ligaments. (Refer to finger anatomy.) The collateral ligaments provide stability side-to-side. These ligaments are often injured in athletics. The stability of the joint needs to be assessed with the appropriate joint stress tests. Depending upon the amount of joint laxity, treatment will be determined.
Treatment for collateral ligament injuries ranges from buddy taping (taping one finger to another next to it) to splinting with a finger immobilizer. If splinting is deemed appropriate, the finger will usually be immobilized in 30º of flexion for 10 to 14 days. After that time, buddy taping is used until complete healing has occurred.
Young teenage or pre-teens should be x-rayed to rule out a collateral ligament avulsion fracture. In an adult, the ligament will most often be sprained. A child however, is more likely to have the ligament avulsed from the bone. If this is the case, stressing the ligament before x-rays can result in displacement of the ligament-bone fragment. This injury may result in surgical fixation of the avulsed fragment to ensure proper healing. This x-ray demonstrates this type of injury.
A less common injury to the finger may result in a boutonnière deformity. This injury is the result of an axial load on the tip of the finger. The load results in the deformity shown in this picture. This injury is characterized by incomplete extension of the PIP and hyperextension of the DIP. The fibers of the central slip of the finger extensor tendon rupture. The lateral bands of the same tendon move palmar, flexing the DIP. This injury may result in surgical intervention to repair the damage. Most often, the injury is not severe enough for surgery and splinting for 12 weeks is appropriate.
A mallet finger is the result of a forceful flexion of the DIP. The force of the blow may have enough force to cause an avulsion of the extensor tendon from the DIP. This results in the inability to fully extend the last joint of the finger. This injury is shown in this x-ray.
This injury must be treated with a splint that keeps the finger in full or hyperextension. The splint must be kept on for 24 hours per day. Removal of the splint for even 5 minutes can stop the healing process and necessitate surgical repair of the finger.
A far less romantic injury is a "jammed finger." This results from a axial load to the finger. The joint surfaces of each bone "jam" together, causing a joint surface injury. This often results in swelling and loss of motion that lasts for over 6 weeks. There is usually no signs of trauma on x-ray and the joint will not exhibit instability.
This type of injury should be treated with RICES (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, and Support). The finger should be supported by buddy taping to the next finger. Ice and compression should be used to help control swelling. Since the finger is at the end of the hand, swelling is difficult to control. Therefore, the hand should be elevated as often as possible to control the swelling.
With proper management, finger injuries will not result in a life-long debilitating problem.

Parrot AR.Drone WiFi helicopter gets augmented reality iPhone control
We primarily know Parrot as a purveyor of all things Bluetooth, but now the French company is segueing into remote controlled devices. The Parrot AR.Drone is a quadricopter - i.e. a four-propellor helicopter - that's packed with WiFi for remote-control from an iPhone or iPod touch, two video cameras (one for auto-pilot, another for streaming birds-eye footage back to the pilot) and various sensors and gyroscopes. Parrot are also releasing an SDK so that developers can create games and other software such as augmented reality (AR).

Maps of tree cover that were used for developing schemes to reduce
emissions from deforestation and degradation have errors. It's all about scale
and pixels, say
Betha Lusiana and colleagues
By Robert Finlayson
The ability of any scheme to meet its
national target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and
forest degradation plus conservation (REDD+) requires understanding how its
processes are linked across scales, from local through provincial to national
and international levels. A single approach to reduce deforestation that is
effective for a project in several villages might not be as effective at an
aggregated level, such as a district.
Accordingly, scale must be addressed in REDD+
schemes, including highly technical activities such as satellite mapping of
vegetation cover. This is a critical feature, since knowing how the amount of
carbon stock in the form of vegetation, of what type, and how it changes over
time determines payments to local people for preserving, adding to, or
depleting the stock.
Having a good carbon map is important for
being able to monitor carbon being sequestered or emitted over time. For
incentive schemes, having a map that fits closely to the reality on the ground is
also important. Developing emission maps requires information in the form of
land-cover maps and aboveground carbon stocks for every land-use type in the
landscape. However, both types of information have errors and uncertainty. For example, when looking at a satellite
image, rubber agroforests can be visually mistaken for natural forests (even in
the field it can be difficult for untrained eyes to tell them apart) and the
amount of carbon stock in each type of tree cover can vary substantially, which
means that when changes to the stock are monitored and aligned with payments
for preservation, enhancement or reduction of said stock, there could be large
errors and hence incorrect payments.
To address this, we set out to identify an
appropriate resolution for mapping carbon stock in a REDD+ scheme. This work
was part of a study we conducted—discussed more fully in Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for
Global Change—to design effective emission-reduction activities in
Tanjung Jabung Barat (a high-emission district in Jambi province, Indonesia)
that can be implemented by the district government.
The study of resolution accuracy involved
two steps. First, we developed emission maps for the district that identified changes
in aboveground carbon stocks between 2000 and 2009. The maps included calculations
that allowed for uncertainty caused by errors in land-cover-map classifications
and the variation of carbon, representing the many possible carbons stored in a
similar-size plot of a given type of vegetation. Second, we calculated
estimates of emissions based on various resolutions from the maps developed in
step 1.
From this process, we were able to propose
an appropriate scale for monitoring emissions from land-use changes: for anThe effect of scale on hot spots of carbon emissions in Tanjung Jabung Barat, Jambi, Indonesia, between 2000 and 2009. Pixel resolution of 100 m equals pixel area of 1 ha and pixel resolution of 1000 m equals pixel area of 1 km2. Source: World Agroforestacceptable error of 5% (to put it another way: 95% accuracy), planners should
use an emissions map with pixel resolution of 1000 m, equal to a pixel
size of 1 km2.
We compared this with a map developed by planners in
Tanjung Jabung Barat, who had been involved in a participatory planning process
with communities, businesses and government agencies to come up with ways of
reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and found that the schemes they had in mind
would be served well by a map with resolution of 1 km2.

Newnan pharmacist disciplined by state
by Wes Mayer
On July 1, Amy Elizabeth Matistic, the Newnan pharmacist accused of writing fake prescriptions for controlled substances in 2012, consented to the Georgia State Board of Pharmacy's disciplinary action on her license.
Matistic was arrested in October 2012 following an investigation by the Coweta County Sheriff's Office. She was charged with distributing narcotics without an order form, sale of narcotics and forgery after investigators discovered illegal drug activity was going on at her pharmacy, the Summit Healthplex Pharmacy on 1755 East highway 34.
Matistic's assistant, Katie Lynn Brown, was also arrested and was charged with distributing narcotics without an order form, sale of narcotics and running a pharmacy without a license. The charges against her were later dropped, and Brown did not go to court.
The Georgia State Board of Pharmacy looked at numerous allegations against Matistic – which she all denied, according to the case's docket. First, Matistic was accused of leaving her pharmacy open and operating without a licensed pharmacist on site throughout 2011 and 2012. Second, one of her former employees claimed that, during this time, she would regularly fill prescriptions without Matistic's oversight. Another former employee reported accepting tips from out-of-state customers who filled prescriptions for controlled substances.
Another finding was that, in 2011 and 2012, an acquaintance of Matistic reported receiving multiple prescriptions for Lortab. These prescriptions were allegedly written by a doctor who denied ever seeing this acquaintance or writing the prescription. Another 20 prescriptions were reportedly filled in this same manner and signed for by the same doctor, who denied ever treating any of the patients who received these prescriptions. Matistic denied these allegations as well.
The board also found Matistic operated an unlicensed pharmacy for six months in 2012 – the Georgia Pain and Spine Clinic. Matistic denied this and claimed this new pharmacy location was known to the Georgia State Board of Pharmacy.
After considering these findings, the board ordered Matistic's license to be suspended for five years, beginning retroactively on Oct. 5, 2012. Three years of this suspension will be stayed, though, meaning Matistic will be able to practice pharmacy again on Oct. 5, 2014. These three years will be treated as if Matistic was on probation, and at the end of this suspension period, she will be placed on probation for an additional five years – until Oct. 5, 2022.
During these 10 years, Matistic will not be able to own a pharmacy or act as the pharmacist in charge. During the probationary period, if she does practice pharmacy, she will be ordered to cooperate with any inspections or investigations by the Georgia State Board of Pharmacy.
Any pharmacy employer or pharmacist in charge whom Matistic might work for will also be required to submit quarterly reports to the board about Matistic's employment. In addition, Matistic must notify the board of any changes to her residence or office within 10 days, according to the docket.
Additionally, Matistic was fined $25,000, and she was ordered to pay the fine in $5,000 increments over five years. She was also ordered to pay a $500 administrative fine to the pharmacy board.
According to the docket, if Matistic complies with these orders over the 10-year period, the Georgia State Board of Pharmacy will review and evaluate her and may restore all her rights and privileges. If she does not comply, she may face more disciplinary action.
The criminal charges against Matistic, however, have all been dropped.

This report provides a detailed overview of Australian and international literature on cyber-safety risks based on national/international empirical and theoretical research evidence, as well as the outcomes of current practice and programs that address cyber safety and children. Additionally, the review aimed to determine how to best use the findings of previous cyber safety research to inform policy regarding the nature and prevalence, cyber safety risks and consequences, as well as promising preventative, regulatory and management measures to increase cyber safety for children when online.
The specific outcomes of this study were to identify:
Overall, this report provides a detailed overview of Australian and international literature on cyber-safety risks. In general, there are several risks associated with using technology and exposure to these risks, and when not properly addressed, are associated with negative consequences. The literature suggests that some of the most troublesome online risks are strongly associated with offline risks, and that these two worlds do not exist independently, therefore it is crucial that offline behaviours also be considered.

Ser Jared Frey is a knight of House Frey. He is the fourth son of Lord Walder Frey, the first son born from his second wife, Cyrenna Swann. He is married to his cousin Alys Frey and has two children; Ser Tytos and Kyra Frey.[2]
Ser Jared is a tall, stooped man of fifty years.[3] He is lean, balding and pockmarked.[4] He is long and lean of limb and clean-shaved, but for a thin grey mustache.[5]
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Jared attends the Tourney of the Hand at King's Landing with five of his brothers,[6] but is too old to ride in the lists. He attends Lord Walder at the parley with Lady Catelyn Tully. Jared is one of the Freys placed under Robb Stark's command after the parley ends.[3]
A Clash of Kings
Jared is a member of the Frey contingent that is part of Lord Roose Bolton's army at Harrenhal. He was once a captive of House Lannister.[2]
A Dance with Dragons
Along with Rhaegar Frey and Symond Frey, Jared travels to White Harbor to return the bones of Wendel Manderly, killed at the Red Wedding, to his father, Wyman Manderly. The Freys also want to ensure White Harbor bends the knee to the Iron Throne. They offer Wyman a Frey bride and betrothals of Rhaegar Frey to his granddaughter Wynafryd and Little Walder Frey to Wyman's other granddaughter, Wylla.
When Davos Seaworth arrives in White Harbor to try and persuade House Manderly to support Stannis Baratheon, the three Freys are already present. While Wendel was actually murdered by the Freys, Jared claims the Red Wedding was Robb Stark's doing and that Wendel died defending Lord Walder Frey from Robb Stark, who had changed into a rabid wolf. A shocked Davos calls Jared a liar. Jared draws his sword and is close to attacking Davos, but Wyman Manderly says he will have no bloodshed in Merman's Court.[5] Wyman is greatly angered, but pretends to agree with the Freys, as the Iron Throne holds hostage his surviving son and heir, Wylis Manderly. Wyman fakes Davos's death by having a criminal with similar features executed and his head dipped in tar so the Freys falsely believe him to be Davos. As a reward for proving his loyalty, Queen Cersei Lannister has Wylis Manderly returned to White Harbor.
According to Wyman Manderly, Rhaegar, Jared and Symond were given palfreys as "guest gifts" when the three Freys departed White Harbor.[7] Wyman claims they were all to meet at Winterfell for the wedding of "Arya Stark" to Ramsay Bolton. They have not been seen since, although Aenys Frey and Hosteen Frey, who were present at Winterfell, suspect Wyman Manderly of foul play.
Wyman Manderly presents three huge pies at the wedding feast while requesting a song from the singer Abel about the Rat Cook, implying the three Freys were actually present at the wedding after all.

This week, rather than babbling on about financial law as I frequently do, I have chosen to write about something quite extraordinary and almost uniquely African by its breath in our collective psyche; our impulsive instinct to stand and watch a fellow human being writhe in pain in the middle of the road, rather than rush to their rescue as common decency dictates. Needless to say that the views expressed herein are necessarily subjective as the narrative involves the writer directly. That said, it is written rather dispassionately and (I hope) without rancour. The aim is to trigger a national debate rather than apportion blames. I am talking about the roadside accident I was involved in a few days ago on the back of a motorbike in Lagos, otherwise known as "okada", now banned from much of the public roads in the state. Since the emergence of the dreaded means of transport, I have been one of its most vociferous critics; warning all my friends and siblings to steer clear of them no matter the temptation as they are, effectively, death traps. The casualty figures from the major hospitals across the country bear this out. It is no wonder, therefore, that no one shed a tear when it was banned from major roads in Lagos, Abuja and elsewhere in the country. The riders of these bikes are, in the main, semi-illiterates, eager to make a quick, tax-free money. They lack the most basic education in road safety; they have little regard for their own, let alone another's life. They ride the bikes in complete oblivion of the risks involved, as they contemplate their next passenger, almost as soon as the present one mounts. Yet, as if in a suicide pact, the "customers" keep demanding their services in their dozens: schoolchildren, women with babies, big, thin, tall and small people cramping onto the deadly machines for that apparently "crucial" cheap ride across the city. I sometimes wonder in amazement why any woman would risk their pregnancy and newly born babies on an "okada", and hoping against hope that their use would be outlawed in its entirety. Why then, would anyone, let alone me, venture on one of them?
Well, I have given the question some thought since the accident, and came up with loads of reasons, but the only plausible explanation I have been able to come to is that I believe there is a certain fascination with danger in all rational human beings. Many of us are (thankfully) able to fend off the romance with danger most of the time as we allow our common sense to prevail on an evil temptation on the rare occasions that we come across it. Other times, sadly, the temptation gets the better of us. I, for one, have no need (financially or otherwise) to climb on the back of an "okada"; my destination on this fateful day was ridiculously short, so short, that I was, in fact, already walking towards the place before I suddenly had a rush of blood and hailed an "okada" , quite against everything I knew to be right and proper. As fate would have it, it collided (at speed) with an oncoming bus barely five minutes after taking off. So, there I was, on the ground, in the middle of the road, groaning and reeling in pain, having only cheated death by a whisker. There was blood gushing from my forehead, and from a deep gash on my left knee, the rest of my legs and arms were riddled with bruises and numerous lacerations. The rider, also rolling on the floor, with his left leg almost cut in half. In no time, people from both sides of the road gathered round to see what was happening. There were a lot of "Hoo-ha", "Jesus", "Yeah-pa", "Look", "See", "Who", "What", "Why" "How" "Oooh-gosh!" etc, but no one, repeat, no one, came to our rescue. I managed to crawl out of the main road, gasping for breath, then, screamed: "Why are you, all of you, standing by and not helping us"? "We need help, can't you see?!" I shouted even louder. Still no one came to help. The crowd had, by now, grown into their dozens, many of them huffing and puffing and displaying a gesture of helplessness. As I was trying to press down on the blood from my leg, I suddenly locked eyes with a middle-aged woman gawking at me, and I beckoned her to come and help me get up. Finally, almost reluctantly, she came and held my left hand, and another young man then quickly joined her. They both held my hands; I got up while holding on to my left leg. Someone in the crowd yelled: "There is a clinic just down the road". We headed for the clinic, gingerly walking along the side path as no one volunteered their vehicle to take us there. Thankfully, I got a rudimentary treatment from the clinic, but good enough to stop the flow of blood. The rider's injury meant he could not be offered any help by the clinic. He was subsequently moved to a larger hospital where he would likely need to have his left leg amputated.
It is easy to castigate the onlookers as wicked souls who could not care less for fellow human beings, but that would be too facile, as it sheds no light on this common, yet complex, phenomenon amongst us. I think we have become a nation paralysed by an irrational fear of being "implicated" in someone else's misfortune. Suppose the rider and I had turned out to be part of some criminal gang in the neighbourhood? What then happens to the people who came to our rescue in a subsequent police investigation? In Nigeria, no good deed ever goes unpunished. At some point or another, all of us have been warned not to go out of our way to help anyone in case it boomerangs in our face, as it often does. Remember the "traumatised" little girl by the roadside who was, in fact, being used as bait by armed robbers hiding behind the bush? We have allowed horrid tales of that nature to be sired in our inner memory for good reasons.
Furthermore, it is difficult to be a Good Samaritan in a country that does not bestow honour on compassion and moral rectitude, but does it instead on the selfish and self-deluded. It is difficult to be brave in a country that places more value on vanity. It is difficult to be an upright citizen in a country that all too often celebrates mediocrity. Finally, in a country with scant access to the ambulance, the police, proper hospital and a reluctant crowd at the scene of an accident, remember, you are on your own every time you venture out of your doorstep.

Salvation of God Explains Interreligious Dialogue, Says Pope
Comments on Psalm 86(87) at General Audience
| 528 hits
VATICAN CITY, NOV. 13, 2002 (Zenit.org).- The salvation of God proclaimed in the Bible is the final goal of every man, and hence it explains interreligious dialogue, says John Paul II.
In Jerusalem, symbol of the covenant of God with his beloved people, all people can "discover their spiritual roots, feel they are in their homeland, meet again as members of the same family, embrace like brothers who have returned home," the Pope explained during today's general audience.
When meeting with over 7,000 pilgrims in Paul VI Hall, the Holy Father reflected on Psalm 86(87), which presents Jerusalem as a "city of peace and universal mother."
This reality, he added, "is, unfortunately, in contrast with the historical experience that the city is living. However, the task of prayer is to sow trust and generate hope."
John Paul II was continuing his series of meditations, begun last year, on the Psalms and canticles of the Old Testament.
Following the incarnation, death and resurrection of Christ, God's promise of salvation remains symbolized in the "Jerusalem from above," the Church, of which St. Paul speaks.
Because of this, John Paul II proposed the Psalm as a "page of true interreligious dialogue," as it "gathers the universal legacy of the prophets and anticipates the Christian tradition" that describes the heavenly Jerusalem as "our mother."
Moreover, in "Lumen Gentium," No. 2, Vatican Council II presents the universal Church as the place that gathers "all the righteous, beginning with Adam, and the righteous Abel, to the last elect," the Pope said. It will have "its glorious fulfillment at the end of time," he added.

You are here
I'm 21 years old and I was exposed to the virus a week before my 21st birthday. When I found out, I literally froze; I used to be very selective in having sex and would do it only with protection. But one open scar took my health away. I feel guilty and angry for what happened to me, and I thought to myself, why life is so unfair? Then I started formulating a response. Take my anger and turn it into a force for doing good. Redirect my frustration with injustice and unfairness and channel it into a drive to fight injustice and unfairness. Alleviate suffering wherever you can. Today we are struggling with HIV, but I promise soon there will be a cure for it.

West Texas prisoner transfer a result of low guard numbers, union rep says
About 400 inmatesfrom the Ware Unit in Colorado City are being transferred to other prisons statewide because of a lack of correctional officers, The Associated Press reported Tuesday.
"We're facing a systemic problem," said Lance Lowry, president of the Huntsville chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union that represents prison guards.
According to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice website, the Ware Unit has a capacity of 916 inmates. Lowry said the prison currently is operating with about half its normal number of guards.
At the Smith Unit in Lamesa, 200 prisoners also were transferred to other Texas prisons, AP reported.
In Texas, the optimal ratio of prisoners to guards is 7-to-1, Lowry said. Altogether, 152,000 inmates are incarcerated in the Texas prison system. And although the state is authorized to have 26,129 correctional officers, it currently employs about 23,000.
Lowry said the TDCJ recruits plenty of new correctional officers, but few of them stick around to make a career of it.
The starting annual pay for a guard is about $28,000 with a $3,000 signing bonus, he said, which may not be enough money to compensate for working what historically has been an extremely dangerous job.
"These officers patrol the toughest beat in Texas," Lowry said. "They're doing so with little backup and in some cases no backup at all. Life expectancy for a correctional officer is 58 years."
Lowry, who was once a prison guard, has been lobbying to get pay increases for current guards. At the very least, he said, they deserve an annual 3.5 percent cost of living pay bump.
"It's a matter of retaining the current employees," he said. "The last two fiscal years, The TDCJ hasn't seen any pay adjustments."
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice did not return calls or emails for comment Tuesday.

Write Faster Write Better
|ebook #1
"I bought your Time Management book
How to Create Your Own Time Revolution 3
You have an idea for a book, an article or a short story, but you never seem to find the time to be able to write it. You look at other written works and realize that you could do as well—or better—but somehow you never quite get it together. If this IS you…
If you're going to realize your writing dream, something has to change. Maybe you've tried other time management books and been frustrated by them. Me, too. Often they ask you to start by keeping a log every fifteen minutes of how you spend your time, and to fill out endless quizzes about what 'type'we are. If we had time to do that, we wouldn't need the book! And then they pad out their pages with probably fictional case studies of what "Jack" or "Mary" did to change how they use their time. I don't care what Jack or Mary did! Cut to the chase! I couldn't find a time management book that was created for the likes of you and me…so I've spent the last few years researching creativity and time management and wrote that book.
This book is concise. No fake case studies, no long essays about the nature of time, no filler anecdotes. Just practical, easy to implement techniques for making enough time to do the writing you want to do. Take a look at the table of contents above and you'll see how much it covers. And before you decide whether to get this book in an instant download, please consider one thing:
I know that sounds pretty extreme, but I am confident that if you put into practice even a couple of these techniques on a regular basis you will find you suddenly have at least an extra four hours a week to write (actually, I think it'll be more, but let's be conservative). That's sixteen hours a month—two whole days. Twenty four days a year—one month of working days. What could you write in that time? A big chunk of your novel? Maybe the whole thing? A string of articles or short stories? That part is up to you. But I know these techniques work because I use them and have helped other people use them, so I'm willing to make a guarantee:
If you use two or more of these techniques regularly and find it doesn't create time for your writing, write to me at email@example.com and ask for your money back. I'll refund it immediately, no questions asked. But promise me that if you find it does work, as I'm sure it will, that you'll also write to me and share news of your writing success with me. I love hearing about how people finally made the time to share their words with the world!
Lots of e-books cost £49, £79, £99 and above (or the equivalent in US dollars or euros). I want to keep this one within the financial reach of everybody who genuinely wants to follow their writing dream. To be honest, I also want to get some good word of mouth going, so I'm pricing it at an introductory rate of only £12 Pounds Sterling (currency exchange rates may fluctuate a bit, but that's approximately $21 or €17.50). After the introductory period, the price will go up, so please order yours now.

It is unfortunate that, in today's world, the value of education has plummeted to terrifying lows. The Chicago teachers strike is a sobering reminder of the cuts and changes that have been forced upon educators around the country. Twenty-nine thousand unionized teachers have staged a strike that has lasted the entirety of the week, further hindering academic progress by keeping over 350,000 students out of school.
Why, in an age where it seems that knowledge is endless, has education slipped so low on our list of priorities? As of 2009, the median income for an adult with a professional degree was $128,000. The income for a high school graduate amounts to just $20,000. Unemployment rates for those without a college degree are over three times higher than for those who have graduated college. But still, we severely curtail the learning capabilities of children by cutting more teachers and programs each year.
With an economy that has left the country's average jobless rate at 8.3 percent, it would seem idiotic to focus our resources on anything but improving education. Higher education quite literally guarantees lower unemployment rates and fewer people living below the poverty line. These benefits are visible without factoring in the greater possibility of medical, scientific and artistic advances that could literally change the fabric of our society for the better.
Instead, however, budget cuts in all 50 states have left education as the loser. In Maine, the cuts have been spread throughout all levels of learning, starting with the state's youngest children by trimming Head Start's budget by more than half. Many school districts have been forced to eliminate several positions and numerous programs, often starting with the arts. Instead of expanding the minds of our children and broadening their ability to learn, these cuts have molded public education into a "teach for tests" monster. Schooling no longer exists to truly educate. Instead, the basis of learning has been grotesquely altered by the remnants of "No Child Left Behind."
With the importance of kindergarten to 12th grade education fading fast, it is only natural to suspect that state funding for universities will continue to dwindle. This would begin an awful domino effect where tuition rates rise and fewer and fewer young adults could afford what has essentially become a necessity on the path to a comfortable life. With poverty rates rising, how can we in the U.S. validate constraints that could very likely help add to these already sky-high numbers?
It seems clearer than ever that knowledge is a necessity. In this day and age, where violence flourishes, and money speaks volumes, the only way to turn ourselves in the right direction is through education. How is it possible for advancements to be made and for the economy to grow with a workforce that is backtracking away from higher education? The clear relationship between level of education and success is one of the only statistics that provides the potential to significantly improve America. Yet, we continue to ignore this fact. How long will it be before the cuts cease and the necessity of comprehensive, well-funded education is realized? Hopefully soon. And hopefully before we drive ourselves into the ground.

Wow, I have learned so much on this visit. First, New Orleans can teach what we need to know about the history of race relations in the United States. The path from French colony to American city is a case study in the development of race separations and the assertion of a superior class. Second, as many know, it must be one of the richest of cities for its character and diverse architecture. The confining water on all of its sides has made a concentration of urbanity and desperation which is hard to find anywhere else. But, it is not a museum city like Venice. It just reminds you of such places. I have had a great time here and will look forward to learning more and returning for another visit.
Christmas at home in Alaska
I am enjoying moving my nexus of activity from Tampa for a few weeks to be home with Leah. Work is going very well and continues during the holidays but at a slower pace. The schedule includes gathering a Christmas tree and being able to join Todd, my son in law ornithologist on the Christmas bird count! This is the shortest day of the year so rather than getting up at 4 am to get up with the birds we are going out at 10 am when we have dawn here in AK!
Working in Florida
The trip to Tampa worked out very well with a stop over in NYC to visit my nephew Jason. The last couple of weeks have gone past very quickly as projects have occupied the schedule, along with some pleasant time spent with family. As the work product gets ready to share here on the website I wanted to post a progress report and to just say all is well in Tampa.
Laundry Day with NB Poppy
There are many ways people who live in narrow boats manage their laundry. Some have enough electrical power to supply an on-board washing machine. This would be very nice. But as a boat that uses very little power and replaces it with a solar panel this isn't going to be an option. So, you map all of the launderettes that are located within a reasonable hike from the canal. Today the laundry was done by packing it up and walking to Ware were there is a launderette located just outside the center of town and on top of a hill. Ware is about 2.5 miles from Hertford via the tow path. I joked with the laundrette owner that many people have paid good money to take a walking tour of the UK and I get it free with each laundry day. It was overcast but in the mid-60's so the walk was pleasant and the work kept me very warm. This photo isn't very picturesque but note the backpack with the clean towels peeking out.
Walking the Canals of London
When you have a narrow boat as a home you need to do research as to the most likely next place to visit and call "home". So walking a long the tow path is just part of the continuous process. You could take the boat and cruise until you find the perfect place,
but, remember you can walk faster than any of the boats! You can also take transit back and hop on a bus if it rains, and it will rain!
Making a Home – Hardware and Software
Well, I have the narrow boat Poppy developed to the point where the next level will involve serious plumbing and kitchen upgrading so I can stop here and enjoy the fruits of the last few months of work. But, this has me realizing that as I established a good and healthy place to live on the canals and rivers of England the real work can now start of maintaining my home as it has always been defined for me, the sharing of love and interests with family and friends. This, to me, boils down to the difference between hardware and software in that you can create the best hardware in the world and have it useless without some software or content on which to express its "coolness" and capabilities. This blog and website will be the home of GreenHistory, the new venture I have mentioned and Rigall/Design, LLC the design firm that continues to prosper and find ways of helping a very good clients. I have a lot to learn about this work of keeping a blog but you will, I hope, see the progress if you keep checking in for the new posts. To those that haven't seen some of the interior improvements to NB Poppy, I am sharing some photos of its new stove and the associated solar and electrical panel. As my posting gets more second nature you may have more of my observations and opinions shared, as is typical of blogs, but stay tuned for much more news on GreenHistory and the first garden history course / tour which will be offered Spring of 2015. The details are now being worked on and you will be asked for more input as they become more fixed as to dates.
A weekend given over to the Bicycle
So, as you made an effort to move around London this past weekend you had to give way to the bicycles that crowded the streets and were allowed to ride a closed-street route from St. Paul's to Green Park and back! It meant that many bus routes were changed for the entire weekend making the general public move in alternative ways. This was a great dedication to the idea that families would come out and use this opportunity to see London from their bike seat and they did! Many groups and families composed of all ages were to be seen. The area around St. Paul's had workshops, special events and a general festival atmosphere. Good for you London!
Narrowboats as part of the Maker movement
I have found myself making a home on a narrow boat on the canals and rivers of Britain for many reasons, one is that I need to be here for the development of GreenHistory, a new venture of Rigall/Design. But, I also have noted that living on and making a narrow boat a home fits my natural inclination to work on home projects. And, since this is both a home and a vessel that moves with a number of system parts, engine, pumps, solar panels and all of the connecting wiring it seem to also fit into a portion of, perhaps the fringe, of what has been labeled as the Maker Movement. The central idea of the Maker Movement is that we need to add action to ideas and take a hand in making practical the concepts which our naturally and innate creativity as human beings lead us to.
One of the most quickly noticed aspect of narrow boats is that there are never two alike. They share many qualities and abilities since they all must perform the same duties, float, move, go through locks, house human beings and moor and stay where we put them. But, there are many very personal ways to express these aspects of the boats and each owner has made their boat unique in how they have built or added to the basic hull.
I have been busy turning my narrow boat, NB Poppy, from a pleasant and well-maintained weekend vacation boat into one that could be lived on all year long. This has been centered principally on adding a reliable and independent power source for our 21st c. tools and adding a source of heat that will support human life during the four seasons of Britain. The adding of a multi-fuel stove (wood and coal) necessitated the moving of the electrical panel and in doing so, meant the building of a new cabinet and understanding the wiring. Adding the stove also meant adding a hearth and this meant designing how to live closely with a very hot bit of metal safely.
I think, as an enthusiastic member of the Maker Movement, these design problems have been nicely solved and I hope the photos show that. The electrical cabinet houses the new solar panel controller and is the charging station for laptop, tablet and telephone. The hearth is both a rugged piece of natural stone, (curiously and typical of our time it was purchased in the UK after being imported from India!), reminding me of Alaska, and sits on a wood/coal storage box which will keep several days of wood dry and drying and ready when needed.
If any of you want to learn more of the Maker Movement you may want to check out the Christian Science Monitor's article on maker spaces in my old home town of Detroit, in this link, http://www.icloudmobilemedia.com/t/31190?token=NzRmNzRkZTMwM2MwYWFiZWY1ZmM2Mzg4ZjdkYWRiYTZkMDU3OTFhMg==
Living in a marina, a good lesson on what you can have at your finger tips
This post may be particularly personal for those following GreenHistory for there interest in garden history and garden tours but as I put Narrow boat Poppy in shape to perform well as my UK home it has dawned on me that a 12 volt system without a means of charging it continuously isn't very useful so I have found a great engineer that can provide and install a solar panel and controller that will allow me to live on the canal without running my Lister diesel just to keep the lights and water pump working. I have been in a very nice marina with all the services you can expect while awaiting the arrival of the solar controller. This has been a good week since I now know what it is like to be moored in such a community of boats. Since Poppy isn't equipped to attach to the utilities it has been just a good place for showers, laundry and charging my laptop and its accessories.
Poppy can hook up to shore power but it doesn't invert this to 12v so the water pump isn't helped by being so near so much power!
Narrow Boat Poppy – At home in Stanstead Abbotts
The intended use of a narrow boat as a UK home for GreenHistory looks like it is working well. While there have been some remodeling projects to make the boat fit a bit better the intended use the fact is that it provides a beautiful residence in what can be typically a beautifully connected location due to the coincidence of the canals with the trains. The work now for establishing the tour and coursework for GreenHistory is being taken up. Several photos of Poppy in our current location is shown here. As always, much more news to follow.

Daily Jihad: The Everyday Struggle of Being a Muslim At Santa Clara University
by John Heit
Jihad, I am sure, is one of the most misunderstood words in the United States today. For most Americans, the term means the murderous holy war being carried out by Islamic extremist groups like Al Qaeda. But this is a reductionist misunderstanding of the word. In fact, in the Islamic tradition, a military holy war is actually the lesser jihad compared to the greater jihad of an individual Muslims internal struggle to come closer to God. The greater jihad actually sounds a lot like the daily challenge of all religious people to live ethical lives of faith.
This all came home to me last November when I hosted a forum, Ethics and Jihad, at Santa Clara University (SCU). In the midst of discussing the American confusion over the meaning of jihad, a Muslim woman from Yemen said that as a Muslim woman living in the U.S., every day constitutes a jihad for her. Every day she struggles to live her faith and to walk in the path of God amid the pulls and pushes of American culture.
In an attempt to understand this notion of daily jihad, I talked with three young women who are students here at SCU. During our discussion, they identified three major challenges to being a Muslim at SCU: religious observance, being a Muslim woman, and social life. In identifying these challenges, they described daily jihad at Santa Clara Universitya struggle to live a good life that few others at SCU know about.
* * * * * *
Religious Observance
One of the pillars of Islam is the duty to pray five times a day. But trying to fulfill this duty on a typical day at SCU is no small task. With only ten minutes between classes, these students have to race from one class to pray before the next one starts. Fortunately, there is a prayer room in Campus Ministry that the Muslim students may use. The women with whom I spoke are grateful for that space. However, most classes are not near campus ministry in Benson. This often means getting from class on one side of campus to Benson, praying, and then running off to the next class.
Racing against the clock is not the only challenge to Muslim prayer on campus. A Muslim is supposed to wash before prayer (hands, forearms, face, and feet). One of the young women recounted a time when before prayer she tried to wash her foot in the sink of a public bathroom on campus. Right then, an older non-Muslim woman entered the restroomand gave her a look that was as puzzled as it was irritated.
A Muslim Woman at an American University
While Islam does not discourage women to have careers or earn money, one of the women (a junior) said, In Islam a woman is given the role of mother and caretaker. So, she has to find this balance between career and home. The problem of growing up in an American society is that only the career part is constantly pushed while the role of caretaker is neglected, and often viewed as an inferior/suppressed way of life. It is a great challenge to balance these competing perspectives.
Another of the women (she is in the SCU Law School) converted to Islam last June and was married in October. Before converting, she was a workaholic facing a great deal of parental pressure to get a job that pays very well. At first, the role of women in Islam offended her but now she embraces it and even finds it liberating. However, she is quick to add that it is by no means effortless. For instance, it has not been easy for her to wear the hijab (head scarf). Being a convert to Islam, she encounters a great deal of trouble from the people in her life who knew her before she converted. My parents think Im a fanatic because I wear it My friends wish I wouldnt wear it Ive even had people ask how long I have to wear it. Its really hard because you end up having to justify yourself.
Social Life at SCU
A major venue for meeting people at SCU is the party scene. People congregate, friends meet other peoples friends, and alcohol is more often than not a factor in the gathering. With Islams strong prohibition against consuming alcohol, this SCU scene is not a particularly viable social option for Muslim students. Missing the huge weekend gatherings every September makes creating a social network difficult. One of the women spoke of how, once removed from the party scene, she stopped being invited even to small dinners and gathering of friends. It makes it hard to meet people. Its really hard to meet people who share your same values, she said. These struggles also extend to romance. Every Valentines Day when non-Muslim students ask one of the women what she is doing that night she explains that because of her Islamic convictions she does not date. The response is usually an incredulous Whaaa..?!
This is not to say that these Muslim students are all alone. They have found and cultivated networks of Muslim studentsbut not without struggle. The Muslim community on campus is a small and cohesive community. But the smallness of the network is a challenge. During the month of Ramadan (in which Muslims abstain from food, water, and sexual activity from sunrise to sunset), having a network of others suffering with you is a source of strength. But because the community is so small, it is easy for students to end up breaking fast alone with a bowl of cereal in a dorm room.
The Muslim students at SCU handle these challenges every day. For them, these are sacred moments when one struggles to step closer to God.

Without a firm cornerstone, a building could not stand, nor an institution last very long. The cornerstone ensures a firm foundation that leads to a lasting tomorrow. Through the years a number of alumni and friends of American International College have become members of The Cornerstone Society by securing the future of AIC by endowing a gift or including the College in their estate plans.
In recognition of their selflessness and dedication to the College, members of The Cornerstone Society receive an invitation to a special gathering each year, and often receive advance notice of events happening either on campus or in their area of the country.

ASHWAUBENON — Rachel Slaneys layup with 1 minute, 46 seconds remaining gave Barneveld its first lead of the game, and the Golden Eagles claimed a 38-34 victory over defending champion Wisconsin Rapids Assumption in the WIAA Division 5 state girls basketball title game Saturday at the Resch Center.
It was a rematch of last years Division 5 championship game, when Assumption won 39-35.
Barneveld completed a 28-0 season, which included a 50-37 win against Assumption on Dec. 28. Rapids finished 26-3.
Slaney led Barneveld with 13 points and eight rebounds, while Hannah Whitish added 11 points. Mary Sigler led Assumption with 10 points.
Barneveld missed four free throws in the final minute, which gave Assumption a chance to tie the game, but the Royals turned it over in the final seconds before attempting a shot.
Assumption led 27-22 early in the fourth quarter, tied for its biggest lead of the game, before Barneveld mounted its comeback.
Barneveld won its fifth girls basketball state title, adding to gold balls won in 1995, 1998, 1999 and 2005.

A solitary sea gull is unperturbed by the rumble of heavy construction equipment at the county's new urban fishery near the fairgrounds race track. The pond covers 2.5 surface acres and runs 8 to 12 feet deep. It is part of a multiple-use irrigation project designed to provide water for the fairgrounds and downstream farms and lots. A smaller settling pond has already been completed. In all, Nelco Contractors has moved about 130,000 cubic yards of earth to shape the ponds, access roads and parking lot.
