Congratulating the First Cohort of the Global Executive MBA
26 Oct 2011
After countless hours of hard work across five countries over the last 18 months, 14 senior executives have become the first graduates from the University of Sydney Business School's Global Executive MBA program.
A reinvention of the traditional MBA, the Business School's first Global Executive MBA was launched in 2010 to provide gifted executives with the leadership skills they need to scale the heights of success in business.
This first participants were hand-picked following a rigorous selection process and completed six modules in different locations around the globe. According to Associate Dean (Management Education), Richard Hall the group have emerged better leaders and more connected with fresh perspectives on how to make a real difference in business.
"We are exceptionally proud of this pioneering group. They have challenged themselves at every turn of this program and in many cases stepped way beyond their natural comfort zone. The personal growth of the individuals on the program that we have seen and the impact this has had on the companies they work for is really inspiring."
As part of the program the group was given the opportunity to explore new business opportunities in the Indian city of Bangalore, the concept of growth in Silicon Valley and renewal in France's tradition-bound wine industry. At each location they were tasked with co-ordinating a real-life local business project providing them with an opportunity to explore the theme of that module.
As well as the intensive overseas modules, the group also indicated one of the highlights of the program was the insights they gained into creativity in leadership by improvising jazz melodies at the Conservatorium and learning how to structure a logical argument from scholars in the Department of Philosophy.
Executive Director of UN Women Australia, Julie McKay who was recently named Telstra Young Business Woman of the Year for the ACT said the completion of the program was bittersweet.
"It is fantastic to have reached the end of the program and reflect on all that we have achieved individually and collectively."
"The highlight for me was working with my cohort and the academic staff across all of the different modules to challenge our leadership styles, our understanding of business and our belief in what is possible when you bring together a group of talented, dedicated people."
"It is sad to know that the exciting journey we all embarked on together has come to an end for now. However, the friendships and business connections we've made throughout this process are sure to carry on long into the future."

DAVID GOYER Says Warner Brothers Wants To Make Their Universe More Cohesive
There are a lot of people who are always busy in Hollywood, with a steady stream of coming in to keep the pay checks coming in. However, there are a few who are so busy, they barely have time to stop and think. Usually the first person to come to mind in this regard is Guillermo Del Toro, who has his hands in various projects in all sorts of ways: writing, producing, directing, designing. He's a busy man. There's also another guy that Warner Brothers has on speed dial now days for their various project and that would be David Goyer, who is currently working on the yet-to-be titled Batman Vs. Superman, Sandman withe Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as well as the Constantine and DaVinci's Demons television serious, among several others.
The writer/director/producer recently sat down to talk with the folks as IGN to discuss some of his projects and the conversation eventually found its way to the upcoming Man of Steel sequel and the direction that the studio is taking with future films, including the highly rumored Justice League film. It's been thought for some time that WB would be attempting to set up a cinematic universe, much like Marvel has done in recent years. They have yet to confirm the concept, but there are endless clues and hints that suggest this is going to happen. With numerous television series being developed centered on various DC Comics characters, some have wondered whether those characters could make the move to the big screen in the future. Here's what Goyer had to say on the subject:
I mean, it's too early. I know that Warner Bros. would love to make their universe more cohesive. There have been a lot of general conversations about that, but it's really, really early. I'm not sure. Marvel has had enormous success, but I'm not sure that everybody should try to emulate them either. It's just been vague conversations so far.
That answer is one that you'd pretty much expect to hear. It's hard to believe that the execs at WB and DC Comics have not discussed the idea of creating a massive, cohesive film universe; especially after seeing the success that Marvel has had with the concept. It more or less comes down to how they approach the idea. Do they go the same route as Marvel and introduce each character separately and lead into a team-up film? Or do they do the opposite and include all the characters in a team film, then spin them off on their own? My money is on the latter of the two.
Like I said, I think it's more a question of when on this, rather than if. They aren't stupid and they know the benefits of making their films a cohesive unit, not necessarily the TV, though. What do you think, would you want WB to pull it all together into one universe? Or would you want it all separated? Be sure to check out the entire interview more info on Sandman and the grounded approach that comic book movies are taking.

Some things won't stay down... even after they die
Dead & Buried?
RIP's Website
^ Nope, the correct answer is "Dead Alive" AKA "Brain Dead".
"The first film, ever, to be banned in Sweden!"
Is it Faces of Death?
^ That is incorrect.
Thriller - en grym film 1974 ???
Is it Bloodtracks?
i think Drac got it
Yup, AKA "Thriller: A Cruel Picture".
This movie was one of the biggest controversal movies made in the 70's the churches tried to have it banned from the movie theaters?
I'm not sure about the whole history of the film, but I believe it was pretty controversial back then. Exploitation at its finest, baby.
do you want information on it or do you know what it is?
Tell me if I'm wrong but I think TiM is talking about the movie "Thriller: A Cruel Picture" that he posted and I think you are talking about another movie. They want the tagline for that movie.
Last edited by Tina12312 (2007-06-27 10:13:44)
I guessed "Dead Alive" for DrChannard's tagline, so then it was my turn to try and stump people with a new tagline. I chose "Thriller: A Cruel Picture", which is also known as, "Thriller: They Call Her One Eye". Dracula guessed it right, so now it is his turn.
Well since dracula hasn't responded by now to this thread then I'll start a new horror movie tagline, lol::lol:
"His curse became his power"
I believe that's Ghost Rider.
Correct! Your turn Doc!;)

Unidym is Arrowhead's most developed nanomaterials company and a premier
example of our model for building new technology companies. As with Calando,
we believe Unidym is a demonstration of our ability to build potentially transformational
companies that have near-term market entry points. Unidym is a platform company
positioned to address sizeable long-term product opportunities in the electronics
industry and, more importantly in the current market environment, significant
short-term opportunities in the high growth touch panel and display industries.
In 2005, Arrowhead saw a big opportunity in a type of material known as carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) and started the company that would become Unidym to address
it. CNTs had been shown to possess extraordinary electrical, thermal and mechanical
properties and we believed that they had the potential to significantly impact
multiple large and diverse industries. At the time Unidym was launched, the
CNT market was highly fragmented with key patents dispersed across multiple
owners and no clear industry leader. Unidym has since licensed technology from
a dozen universities and acquired three prominent CNT companies, including Carbon
Nanotechnologies, Inc., the pioneering company in high performance CNTs, and
has become a leader in the development of innovative CNT-enabled products for
the electronics industry. In the process, Unidym has assembled a strong and
diverse patent portfolio that we believe covers nearly every aspect of high
performance CNT manufacturing and processing, as well as multiple product applications.
Unidym's product development efforts are focused on the electronics industry,
where there is continuing demand for higher performance materials. Unidym's
initial product line is a CNT-based transparent, conductive film that has the
potential to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) and indium zinc oxide (IZO)-based
films currently used in the touch panel, display, and solar cell industries;
an opportunity we believe exceeds $2 billion annually. Unidym's CNT-based
film offers substantial advantages over ITO and IZO, including: lower cost,
improved durability, enhanced flexibility, higher yields, better readability
in display applications, and simplified processing. In addition, indium, a key
component in ITO / IZO, is already in short supply, and many experts expect
prices to rise dramatically in the coming years.
Unidym expects to initially deploy its film product in the high-growth touch
panel industry in the near term. It is a drop-in replacement for the ITO films
in use today and also offers dramatically improved device lifetimes, improved
daylight readability, and reduced costs. We believe that the unique characteristics
of Unidym's films could help expand the market significantly. In addition,
because the touch panel film industry is currently supply constrained, Unidym
has the benefit of offering a competing component to companies that are not
able to obtain sufficient ITO film to meet their existing production needs.
Unidym is currently sampling its film products to the world's leading
touch panel companies and expects to produce volume product sales in 2009. Unidym
is also working with leading LCD companies, including a joint development agreement
with Samsung Electronics, to incorporate CNT films into their display devices.
Through its various collaborations, Unidym has fabricated prototype LCD and
electrophoretic displays incorporating CNT-based films.
Unidym's film production model is capital efficient. It involves in-house
synthesis of a proprietary grade of CNTs, formulation of those CNTs into a coating
ink, and then shipment of that ink to an outsourced coating partner or customer
for deposition. Capital expenditures associated with CNT synthesis are kept
low by both the scalability of Unidym's CNT synthesis process and the
fact that only trace amounts of CNTs are required per unit area of film. Unidym's
use of outsourced coating companies for its touch panel films takes advantage
of the substantial excess capacity left in the coating industry by the decrease
in demand for photographic film. Longer term, if demand for Unidym's products
continues to grow, Unidym plans to explore partnerships or outsourcing arrangements
to scale its operations.
In addition to its film products, Unidym has two other product lines that could
enable us to more fully extract value from CNT-related opportunities. First,
Unidym sells a range of proprietary CNTs for conductive polymers, structural
reinforcement materials, and anti-static films. In fact, Unidym's current
revenues are primarily derived from sales of nanotube products for antistatic
composites in the semiconductor industry. While Unidym does not intend to enter
into high volume production of such materials, Unidym believes there is an opportunity
to leverage its patent position and synthesis expertise to work collaboratively
with other companies to develop new proprietary grades of material for outsourcing
or sale. Second, Unidym is pursuing an aggressive, cross-industry licensing
strategy to foster the commercialization of CNTs in a broad range of applications.
The Company has a licensing program for companies seeking to market CNT-based
products outside of its core target electronic products, and has completed two
licensing deals this year.
Unidym's business progress is further demonstrated by the strategic investments
it has received from Tokyo Electron, an equipment manufacturer for the LCD industry;
Entegris, a producer of materials and hardware for the semiconductor industry
and one of Unidym's largest current customers; and Battelle, a leading
R&D company which manages a the activities of a number of the United States'
national laboratories.
With its strong product portfolio and foundational intellectual property in
a highly promising technology, Arrowhead believes Unidym will offer tangible
proof of value of the Arrowhead proposition. Arrowhead currently owns more than
53% of Unidym and has a number of options for monetizing its investment, including
the commercialization of CNT in its various applications and pursuing strategic
alternatives through the sale of the Company.

This woman is my hero.
Sexually abused killer Brigitte Harris gets 5-15 years for penis-severing death of dad
I love how the judge said that she shouldn't have taken things into her own hands. What would the system have done? Slapped him on the hands and then turn him loose after what? A max of 5 years?
That woman is my hero. Shes given her life for the sake of innocents.
I guess it's the premeditated part that got her. I don't know, this is where the system fails... but you know, John Bobbit got really rich off of his wifes actions...
she should have never admitted to RESEARCHING the bobbit case.
it is a wonder the judge didn't set aside the jurys verdict which he
could legally do.
But I hope she gets the help she needs.
I don't believe taking the law in her own hands and cutting his penis off was the right thing to do. Even that what he did is totally horrible and unforgivable. Hope this woman will get help that she needs, I think the prison isn't the right place for her (how long you can invade the person the worst way and wait her to stand with it? Even I still think what she did isn't right).
I still hope this case arouses some attention around punishments of sexual criminals.
We would need more effective punishment for sexual criminals. Over here, three American football players raped two girls under 20 recently. One the held girls when the two others did what they did. And what was the punishment? A probation that takes a year and 8 months and those two who raped the girls got some penalties beside that (around 4 500 euros per man).
They went back to the USA and I'm sure they laugh at the "punishment" they got here. Really, you get nothing about a crime like that here.
That is horrible Tamma. I cant image what those girls feel.
I am a strong defender of children. No one else was doing anything. Even if she had gone to the authorities. They just slap them on the hands and send them back into society. It is a known fact that they go right back. If not in the US they go to third world countries. It infuriates me. If someone did that to my daughter I would be looking for blood. An eye for an eye.
If she would have gotten a better lawyer she could have gotten away with it.
My thoughts will be with her.
I agree with you and Tamma. Revenge is not the way to go. I feel absolutly terrible for her.
M2G's sorry for the trauma that happened in your life as well. I think all kids deserve a wonderful happy childhood, unfortunatly alot of the time it's not the case.
If the system would actually keep these predators jailed for life then I would not understand. But as the system is now they release them back into the public where the majority do it again. A child's life and innocence is more important than those SOBs.

The Green Knights (4-4) fell behind 7-0 in the top of the first inning when the Coast Guard put up seven runs on seven hits.
St. Norbert got one run back in the bottom of the frame, then scored three runs in the second, all scoring on a pair of Coast Guard errors. Mackenzie Dorow had an RBI triple in the third inning, followed by an RBI single by JoAnna Ruppa to cut the deficit to ...

College Station – Texas Task Force One (TX-TF1) is preparing for potential deployment due to additional severe weather expected in East Texas. The Governor's Division of Emergency Management (GDEM) requested TX-TF1 to standby for an actual deployment this morning as the task force was wrapping up its annual full-scale earthquake exercise.
TX-TF1 also had to make equipment preparations to transition from the weekend exercise to be ready for an actual deployment.
In addition, the GDEM directed TX-TF1 to send three liaison officers to Sabine and San Augustine counties this morning. Personnel were placed on standby and task force leadership began planning operations for a possible deployment into East Texas.
A briefing from the National Weather Service predicted severe, damaging wind and rain with possible tornadic activity in Sabine and San Augustine counties. Additionally, the National Weather Service predicts more rain in East Texas 5 a.m. tomorrow. In some cases, up to 10 inches of additional rainfall are predicted, which could flood creeks and rivers already full from recent storms. Due to this threat, TX-TF1 swift water rescue squads have been placed on standby throughout the central and eastern parts of Texas, ready for activation and deployment as necessary.
The citizens of Texas are reminded to monitor local media and NOAA Weather Radio during severe weather events for any statements and/or warnings issued by the National Weather Service.
Flash Flood Facts
As little as six inches of water moving over a roadway can begin to move your car. Swift water has a different effect on vehicles than standing water and 12 to 24 inches of swift water can sweep away any type of vehicle, even a large truck or SUV.
2007 Flash Flood Deaths in Texas …
- 76% of victims were in their vehicles, 10% were in their homes, 14% were on foot.
- 71% of flash flood deaths occurred at night, 24% during daytime, 5% at an unknown time.

Weight Management Success Stories
Description: In November 2009, I had the gastric adjustable gastric band placed by Dr. Tom White. Today, I am a new person and I am down almost 70lbs and feel great!!
I have been teased all my life due to being overweight. It came to a point they I was unable to do simple things in life, such as tie my shoes, walk with my wife shopping, etc. I was at my highest weight, nearly 500 lbs. and decided I needed to do something...I have lost over 180 lbs. and am gaining my life back.
The HMR program has made my everyday life so much more enjoyable! Shopping is now a joy! I've gone from a size 24 to a size 12! I can walk great distances without breathing hard. I have much better balance and flexibility.
My life changed for the better after coming to the Alegent Health Weight Management Center. After embracing HMR and 6 months in the program, I've finally realized "I got it!" My life is joyful, healthy, and active. Everybody in my family eats better now too!
The HMR program taught me healthy eating and gave me the tools to plan and be disciplined. The combination of portion control, physical activity and the classroom support gave me the skills to be able to take the weight off and keep it off.
...Only through the support of my family and friends, especially my friends from class and the staff at the Weight Management Center, was my success possible. I lost 100 pounds in 13 weeks and dropped 12 sizes in my waist! I now can run 6 miles in an hour!
My highest weight was 350 lbs. That is when I decided to have a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with Dr. Tom White. Just 10 months later, my weight is down to 210 lbs and most importantly all my medical conditions were completely resolved.
Healthy Solutions led me to my goal weight of 185 pounds by December 2006, just eight months from enrollment. During my weight loss I never went hungry. I went from being able to walk six blocks to walking five to six miles to running seven to ten miles!
The Alegent Health Weight Management Center has changed my life. After losing 111 pounds, I feel more energetic and I am participating in more activities like being able to ride the rides at Disneyland and boogie-boarding in the Pacific Ocean! My pant size shrunk from a size 48 to a size 38!
Immanuel's Weight Management Center gave us the 'know how' and tools to be fit. Together, we have lost 150 pounds! We all agree that we've made a life long modifications in our lifestyles. Words cannot express the gratitude that our family has for this program and staff.
The Alegent HMR Weight Management Program is the best thing I have ever done for myself! The program taught me what I need to succeed in my weight-loss journey...The staff gives constant support, are cheerleaders and motivators... I'm able to wear a size 6 clothing now!
Almost 300, 32, and 0 were the only numbers I recognized a little over a year ago...numbers that I would not share with anyone. Today, with the help of the awesome HMR program and staff, I am proud to share: 112 pounds lost (& still counting!), size 14 clothes and averaging 5000 PA calories a week. I now love to share my numbers...
I joined the Alegent Health Weight Management Program June, 2005. At that time I truly felt I was physically beginning to die. I had a stressful lifestyle and just learned my cholesterol was even higher than the previous year. Today I am much fitter, no longer smoke, have a less stressful lifestyle and my cholesterol is normal!...

Deputy Secretary
[See photos of this event]
Thank you, Carmen. I truly am honored to be with all of you today in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month and to introduce our guest speaker, María Elena Salinas.
I am delighted to have this chance to honor the achievements of the 50 million Hispanics who live in the United States today, and the Latin culture from Santiago to South Beach that enriches all of our lives.
As someone who, nearly thirty years ago, entered a State Department far less diverse than the one we have today, it is a special pleasure to recognize the over 1,000 Hispanic Americans now working here, not to mention the thousands more across the federal government. In the State Department, this includes top officials like Undersecretary of State Maria Otero, Assistant Secretary Jose Fernandez, and Special Envoy for Energy Affairs Carlos Pascual. It includes civil rights heroes-turned-Ambassadors Raúl Yzaguirre in the Dominican Republic, Vilma Martínez in Argentina, and Carmen Lomellin, our Ambassador to the Organization of American States.
And it includes Foreign Service, Civil Service, and locally employed U.S. citizens of Hispanic heritage who are representing the United States with great distinction and advancing American diplomacy each and every day around the world.
All through our national life—in government, the private sector and civil society—people of Hispanic ancestry are building bridges to countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. They are helping to construct the prosperous and secure hemisphere that people throughout the Americas want and deserve, and that represents the highest goal of U.S. policy in the region.
We are determined to have a Department that represents and reflects America and makes the most of the talents of all of our citizens. I want to thank the Hispanic Employees Council of Foreign Affairs Agencies for all of your work: the mentoring, the counseling, and the campus and career fair visits to find the best and brightest and bring them here to serve our country. You haven't just heeded the call for a more diverse State Department, you have led the charge.
We believe in the importance of Latin America and the Caribbean and we believe in the power of proximity. I took my first visit as Deputy Secretary of State in August to Mexico. And, in less than two months on the job, I have also visited Peru and Chile and met with foreign ministers from throughout the Americas. As I saw again on my visits, this is a region on the rise, full of promise for its people and for American diplomacy. And so we have made it a high priority to increase our political, security, economic, educational, and cultural ties with all of the people and nations of this Hemisphere.
Together, we are working to put forward a broad, positive agenda that offers rights, freedoms, security, justice, social inclusion, and economic prosperity. In a generation, the Americas have transformed from an exception to democratic progress to a powerful example of it. Where we see democracy under threat, we are working with the countries of the region to strengthen it. And where we see democracy taking hold, we are helping to consolidate it and ensure that it delivers results for its people.
As Secretary Clinton likes to say, diversity is one of America's great sources of strength. We want to celebrate it, but more than that, we want to put it to work. And so we have. The Hispanic Diaspora's broad and deep connections to Latin America have helped bring Americans more closely together and will help advance our shared goals for the peoples of the Americas.
When you consider the Hispanics of all professions who are building bridges to their ancestral homelands—sending remittances and offering an example of what America has to offer— you quickly realize that our Ambassadors at the State Department are just some of the many ambassadors who represent the very best of our society.
Today we welcome one such ambassador, Univision Network Anchor María Elena Salinas, to the State Department. And we thank her for helping us to highlight Hispanic Heritage Month with her story. Ms. Salinas has been called "the voice of Hispanic America" by the New York Times, and has often been named one of the "Most Influential Hispanics" in the United States. We are delighted to have her with us today.
This is a woman who, for years, has been helping Hispanics succeed in this country and helping them stay connected with current events in their countries of family origin. She has interviewed every U.S. President since Jimmy Carter and has been face to face with dozens of Latin American heads of state, rebel leaders, and dictators. In 2007, she made history co-hosting the first ever Democratic and Republican presidential candidate forums in Spanish on the Univision Network. Her work has earned her four Emmys and many other awards.
Today, Ms. Salinas is the official spokesperson for "Ya es Hora" (It's Time), a national citizenship and civic engagement campaign that won a prestigious Peabody Award for helping motivate Hispanics to participate in the American political dialogue. She launched a scholarship for aspiring Hispanic journalists working in Spanish-language media. She is a founding member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and sits on the board of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the International Women's Media Foundation.
She introduces the news to millions of people, and today I am delighted to introduce her to you. Please join me in welcoming Univision News Anchor María Elena Salinas.

text: Moody's Cuts Rating of 6 European Nations Britain, France warned that triple-A is in danger By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Feb 14, 2012 1:28 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (5) (Newser) – Moody's has followed fellow ratings agency Standard & Poor's lead with a mass downgrading of European credit ratings. Spain, Italy, Portugal, Malta, Slovakia, and Slovenia—all of whose ratings were cut by S&P last month—were downgraded a notch. The agency also revised its outlook on France and Britain's triple-A rating to "negative," Bloomberg reports. Moody's said the downgrades were triggered by "uncertainty over the euro area's prospects for institutional reform of its fiscal and economic framework," and a weak economic outlook that threatens "the implementation of domestic austerity programs and the structural reforms that are needed to promote competitiveness." Moody's is alone among ratings agencies in downgrading its outlook for Britain. Although it was last to downgrade Spain and Portugal, it now grades them lower than its rivals, the Wall Street Journal notes. France has kept its triple-A rating with Moody's, but the agency has revised its outlook to 'negative.'

In the decades following World War II, American scientists were celebrated for their contributions to social and technological progress. They were also widely criticized for their increasingly close ties to military and governmental power - not only by outside activists but from among the ranks of scientists themselves. "Disrupting Science" tells the story of how scientists formed new protest organizations that democratized science and made its pursuit more transparent. The book explores how scientists weakened their own authority even as they invented new forms of political action. Drawing extensively from archival sources and in-depth interviews, Kelly Moore examines the features of American science that made it an attractive target for protesters in the early cold war and Vietnam eras, including scientists' work in military research and activities perceived as environmentally harmful. She describes the intellectual traditions that protesters drew from - liberalism, moral individualism, and the New Left - and traces the rise and influence of scientist-led protest organizations such as Science for the People and the Union of Concerned Scientists. Moore shows how scientist protest activities disrupted basic assumptions about science and the ways scientific knowledge should be produced, and recast scientists' relationships to political and military institutions. "Disrupting Science" reveals how the scientific community cumulatively worked to unbind its own scientific authority and change how science and scientists are perceived. In doing so, the book redefines our understanding of social movements and the power of insider-led protest.show more

Review quote
Winner of the 2011 Robert K. Merton Book Award, Science, Knowledge, and Technology Sectio of the American Sociological Association Honorable Mention for the 2009 Charles Tilly Best Book Award, Collective Behavior and Social Movements Section of the American Sociological Association "In Disrupting Science, Kelly Moore attempts to explain how scientists' attitudes about the proper role of science and scientists in public life changed so dramatically within two generations...Moore's well-researched account introduces the pacifists, petition writers, newsletter publishers, and protestors--who doggedly drew attention to the ways that militarism was infiltrating the practice of science in the United States."--Audra J. Wolfe, Science "Disrupting Science is an important scholarly addition to the literature in the sociology of science and history of science. The book's examination of archival sources shows a complex relationship between scientists and the military from 1945 to 1975."--G.D. Oberle, Choice "The book prompts intriguing questions about the professional role, the boundaries by which it is constituted, and the potential consequences of overstepping those boundaries."--Joseph C. Hermanowicz, American Journal of Sociology "As the U.S. government's budget for national and homeland security approaches three-quarters of a trillion dollars in fiscal year 2009, and the roles of science and technology continue to expand in our daily lives, our collective need for nuanced studies of the relations between the military and science is ever more pressing. Moore's thoughtful study points the way."--William J. Astore, H-Net Reviews "Disrupting Science is first rate work... Moore's account serves as an exemplary case study in what she and Scott Frickel have billed in their 2006 book as 'the new political sociology of science.' I expect her new book to be read widely across the discipline."--Steven Epstein, Mobilization "Moore's book is very well-written, scholarly, and impeccably organized, making it a useful reference tool. It is relevant to those interested in political sociology, the 'fact-value' debate in the philosophy of science, questions of science and ideology, and science studies."--Ronjon Paul Datta, Canadian Journal of Sociology "Useful for academics studying the history of science and social movements, this book offers an interesting, unique, and insightful look at the role of scientists in challenging the boundaries of their own expertise and positions of influence. From scientists as elite experts to science 'for the people,' this work offers a captivating glimpse as social movement activists among scientists during this time in history."--Chelsea Schelly, Social Science Journalshow more
Flap copy
"Kelly Moore's book is a significant scholarly achievement and will be an important and much-cited work in the sociology and social studies of science. Moore not only advances how we conceive of the politics that scientists engage in, but she also more clearly spells out the protest activities of the 1960s and places science near the center of their concerns."--David H. Guston, author of "Between Politics and Science: Assuring the Integrity and Productivity of Research""This is a truly excellent book by a thoughtful scholar. Moore's theoretical development is compelling and her concepts are of use beyond the empirical terrain she covers in the book. What's more, she shows that it is worth looking at social movements that focus on institutions like science and studying these movements' effects on meanings and orientation, not just policies."--Daniel Lee Kleinman, editor of "Science, Technology, and Democracy"show more

"Letters from Gettysburg" will feature the 120-voice Gettysburg College Choir and Concert Choir, baritone soloist Matthew Carlson, and the Sunderman Conservatory Percussion Ensemble. Tickets are $5 for adults, and free to students and children.
Dorman was commissioned to write the work in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. The concert also features Jeffrey Van's "A Procession Winding Around Me" for mixed choir and guitar (to text of Walt Whitman) and Elizabeth Alexander's "Reasons for the Perpetuation of Slavery," a work whose subject is slavery in the modern world.
"Most of the text for ('Letters From Gettysburg') comes from letters written by 1st Lieutenant Rush P. Cady - Co. K, 97th New York Infantry, who was fatally wounded during the Battle of Gettysburg and died a few days later. The first and last movements are based on a letter written by his mother at his death bed," wrote Dorman.
Dorman is a professor of composition at the Sunderman Conservatory of Music.

New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup 2011 presented by Rolex is set to start on September 10th with 16 nations from six different continents hitting the waves off Newport, R.I.
ANTIX(team Ireland) - New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup
A large number of the twenty-two participating yacht clubs will journey great distances to compete in the event such as Itchenor Sailing Club (GBR), Royal Bermuda Yacht Club (BER) and Yacht Club Capri (ITA), however, some of the competitors may have an edge coming from their own island locales to New York Yacht Club's home on Aquidneck Island.
Comparable to New York Yacht Club's location in Newport, Itchenor Sailing Club's (ISC) base in Chichester Harbor on the South coast of England is considered one of the country's most popular sailing venues.
'Whilst we appear to be a small sailing club up an estuary, the club has produced a number of Olympic and America's Cup sailors as well as national and class champions,' said Barry Sampson (Bosham, West Sussex), who will be at the helm of the team representing ISC. Founded in 1927, ISC is well-known for having the largest (100+ boats) and most active fleet of Mirror class dinghies in England, and possibly the world.
ISC may indeed have an ace in the hole with Sampson, who has not only owned a Swan 42 since 2008 but also twice competed in Newport at the Swan Nationals ('08, '09) and who last year campaigned Long Echo in Europe and the Caribbean where he won the 2010 Swan Caribbean Challenge.
Gearing up to represent ISC for the first time in the Invitational Cup, Long Echo will return to Newport to sail the Swan 42 Nationals (July 14-17) with two crew having been together at almost every event Long Echo has raced plus three others who have been aboard for at least two regattas.
'I have sailed the 42 both in Narragansett Bay and outside [on Rhode Island Sound],' said Sampson. 'Certainly outside the conditions are much as we would find in the Solent and Hayling Bay where one is very conscious of the tide and currents. As ever, we are all greatly looking forward to sailing in those waters.'
Royal Bermuda Yacht Club (RBYC) also will tap into a reserve of local knowledge as well as experience in the 42 when they compete in the Invitational Cup for the second time (having placed sixth overall in 2009) with Mark Watson at the helm. Watson, owner of the Swan 42 Tiburon, has seen success sailing in Newport – winning the Swan 42 National Championship in 2008. And like ISC, his RBYC team will also return to compete at the nationals in Newport as part of their preparation for the Invitational Cup.
Royal Bermuda Yacht Club (RBYC), which shares the same birth year as NYYC (1844), was established largely by officers of the British Army stationed in Bermuda. The island itself was discovered in 1505 by navigator Juan de Bermúdez who claimed it for the Spanish Empire about 20 years before Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazano was in Narragansett Bay, and, since 1936, the two islands have been inextricably linked in sailing history through the biennial 635-mile Newport Bermuda Race.
Like Newport, the Yacht Club Capri's home is on the island of Capri became a popular resort in the second half of the 19th century. And although the Yacht Club Capri is one of the youngest clubs entered in the Invitational Cup, having been established in 1999 with the intent of promoting and furthering nautical and sailing sporting activities on the island, the island itself has been inhabited since the days of the Ancient Greeks.
'For the preparation of the Newport race we're considering doing some training in Tuscany where we can rent a Swan 42,' said Conny Vuotto (Capri), skipper of the YCC team, acknowledging that only navigator Giuseppe Montella has experience in the class (from racing the class's Mediterranean circuit aboard Cuordileone). Vuotto also concedes a lack of experience with current, which is a key factor when sailing in Newport. 'In Italy the current is not very strong.
There is no long wave – only if it is bad weather. We generally race in the Mediterranean so we just don't know well the characteristics of the ocean. In the Mediterranean, the main feature, especially in the summer, is the thermal wind with a maximum of 15 knots and calm seas.'
The recurring theme among competitors – who must be non-professional (Corinthian) sailors – was summed up by Vuotto: 'It's a great honor for us to have been invited to the Invitational Cup, and we hope to have a wonderful experience and to make a good race.'

Calling In The Troops
A headline on the UK news talked about complaints that the government is using an additional 3500 soldiers to help with security at the Olympics. Why complain? The security seems crucial; and given that the soldiers are being paid anyway, and were not going to be deployed elsewhere, the opportunity cost of their time does not seem very high. (I'm assuming that the British Army is not maintained permanently larger for use in security in such events.) This seems much more efficient than hiring some temporaries for security, who might not be as well-trained and who would require pay.
Enlisting in the Military Increases Earnings, But Only If You Stick Around
A new RAND research report prepared for the U.S. Army explores the effect of military enlistment on individual earnings and the labor market. The authors used data from applicants to "active-component enlisted service" from 1989 through 2003, and followed them for up to 18 years. From the report:
Read More »
The authors find that military enlistment increases earnings in both the short and long-term: The percentage increase in earnings attributable to enlistment is about 40 percent in the first few years following application and diminishes to about 11 percent 14–18 years following application. Enlistment significantly delays college education in the short run. In the longer run, enlistment slightly increases the likelihood of attaining a two-year college degree, but it also decreases the likelihood of attaining a four-year college degree, especially among higher-aptitude youth.

The brightly colored dashes and spikes reflect the real-time brain activity of a rhesus macaque named Clementine, who is walking at a leisurely pace on a little treadmill in the next room. Staticky pops coming from a speaker on a back wall are the amplified sound of one of her neurons firing.
"This is the most beautiful music you can hear from the brain," Nicolelis declares with a smile.

From Martha Stewart
Start to finish: 2 hours, 15 minutes active
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups low-fat sour cream
½ cup all-purpose flour
5 large egg yolks
7 large egg whites
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cayenne
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Butter a 2-quart souffle dish. Add 1 cup cheese, tilting dish to evenly coat the bottom and sides. Shake out any excess. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Place the sour cream in a large mixing bowl. Sift the flour into sour cream, then whisk until well combined.
Add the egg yolks, one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in salt, cayenne, chives and remaining 2 cups cheese.
In a clean, large bowl (copper is ideal), vigorously whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into the sour cream mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared souffle dish and bake until souffle has risen 2 to 3 inches above the rim and top is golden brown, 1 to 1½ hours. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
Pistachio Souffles with Soft Chocolate Centers
Start to finish: 2 hours, 45 minutes active
For the chocolate ganache:
1¾ ounces heavy cream
4 ounces roughly chopped dark chocolate
For the souffle molds:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 ounce finely grated dark chocolate
For the creme patissiere:
1¾ cups milk
½ vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
¼ cup pistachio paste
¼ cup sugar
4 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
For the meringue:
4 large egg whites
¼ cup superfine sugar
Creme anglaise, warmed, for serving (recipe follows)
To prepare the ganache, in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream to a boil.
Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Pour the cream over the chocolate and stir until chocolate is melted. Transfer to freezer until frozen, about 1 1/2 hours. Using an ice cream scoop, evenly divide the chocolate into 6 portions, placing each portion on a plate or small baking sheet, and returning to the freezer.
To prepare the molds, butter six 1-cup aluminum dariole molds (small cups, similar to ramekins). Dust the molds with grated chocolate. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To prepare creme patissiere, in a medium saucepan combine the milk, vanilla bean and seeds and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove the vanilla bean and discard. Whisk in pistachio paste and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, flour and cornstarch. Whisking constantly, slowly add a quarter of the milk mixture. Slowly whisk the egg mixture into the remaining milk mixture in the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, and cook, whisking until thick and smooth, about 2 minutes. Place 1/4 cup of the creme patissiere in a medium bowl, whisk until completely cooled, and set aside. Reserve the remaining creme patissiere for another use.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
To prepare the meringue, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until foamy. Continue beating while slowly adding the sugar. Beat until shiny stiff peaks form.
Fold one quarter of the meringue into the ¼ cup of creme patissiere. Continue folding in meringue in 3 batches. Spoon the mixture into prepared molds, filling about three-quarters full.
Place one cube of frozen ganache in the center of each cup and continue filling molds with batter until completely full. Bake until souffles rise, 6 to 8 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, froth the creme anglaise (recipe follows). Divide the creme anglaise evenly between six warm serving bowls. Invert each souffle into the center of the bowl; serve immediately.
Makes 6 servings.
Creme Anglaise
Start to finish: 30 minutes
2 cups milk
2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
7 ounces heavy cream
8 large egg yolks
1 cup superfine sugar
Prepare an ice-water bath (large bowl of cold water with ice).
In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the milk, vanilla seeds and cream. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and thickened. Remove the milk mixture from heat and slowly add it to the yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
When thoroughly combined, transfer the mixture back to the saucepan. Cook, stirring until mixture coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 6 minutes.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a medium bowl set in the ice-water bath. Continue stirring mixture until cooled. Creme anglaise may be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Makes 4 cups.
