A Neighbor-finding Algorithm for Bincode-based Images on Reconfigurable Meshes.
Using bincodes to represent binary images is a storage-saving encoding scheme. Finding neighbors is one of the most important operations in spatial data structures. This paper presents an efficient parallel algorithm for solving the problem of neighbor-finding for a bincode-based binary image. Given a set of the bincodes of n blocks, the neighbor-finding algorithm can be accomplished in O(1)-time on an n 1/2 ×n 1/2 ×n 1/2 reconfigurable mesh. Under the same time bound, i.e. constant time, the number of processors used in the proposed parallel algorithm is O(n 3/2 ) and is less than that of the previous fastest one on a mesh with multiple broadcasting buses which needs O(n 2 ) processors.

- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The reconfigurable mesh (RMESH) is an array of mesh-connected processors equipped with a reconfigurable bus system, which can dynamically connect the processors in various patterns. A 2D reconfigurable mesh can be used to solve motion planning problems in robotics research, in which the 2D image of robot and obstacles are digitized and represented one pixel per processor. In this paper, we present an algorithm to compute a collision-free path between two points in an environment containing obstacles. The time complexity of the algorithm is O(k) for each pair of source/destination points, with O(log2N) preprocessing time, where k is the number of obstacles in the working environment, and N is the size of the reconfigurable mesh.0Comments 4Citations

Aug 20 2007Man's Cell Phone Explodes
In cell phone news, a man's Nokia 2115i apparently exploded an hour and a half after he connected it to it's AC charger at home. Now I'm no pyrotechnician or anything, I'm just a guy who loves fireworks, but based on the movement of the phone from its original position, the damage it took from the blast, and the smoke and soot on the floor, I'm going to throw out my own little theory here. That theory is that someone was trying to kill this man. Probably a disgruntled ex-girlfriend or wife. If it did in fact explode on its own, then wow. And if so, I just ordered one off of ebay for my (soon to be ex) wife. You didn't read this. I didn't just say that. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Oh, nuts.
Several more pictures of the damage after the jump.

Ring Ring... BOOM! I guess these are the new Iraq Insurgent models...
That's the reason they have a battery recall on at the moment.
Nokia admits mobile battery issue
"In a statement, the company said: "Nokia has identified that in very rare cases the affected batteries could potentially experience over heating initiated by a short circuit while charging, causing the battery to dislodge.""
Seems odd for a person to charge their phone on the floor. I wonder what that black power is? Did the phone explode with enough force to turn plastic in to a fine black residue? Also, if it exploded with a concerted outward force, why are the screen and cover not damaged? Where's the battery? It's the part that was most likely to explode since plastic and silicon aren't known for their explosive properties.
I like how there's a little chunk of his ear on the right side of the first picture.
I call schnanigans. I don't buy it.
Cobes04:Also, if it exploded with a concerted outward force, why are the screen and cover not damaged?
It appears that the front part of the cover/case was forced off of the phone when it exploded.
Atomic Mango,
I'm just saying that if there was a backwards force, where is the battery? Surely with such a great force it was ejected from the phone. I have dropped many Nokias and the first thing to dislodge tends to be the battery. Secondly, why is the keypad so far away when the cover is sitting undamaged right next to the device? It's not made of a particularly hard elastic material (they tend to be plastic buttons mounted on a flimsy rubber pad, so they flop rather than bounce). Finally, why is neither the LCD or plastic case damaged? Surely a hard force, either the explosion or the fall which dislodged the cover would have damaged something.
I'm not a forensic investigator, but I have to call shenanigans.
Seems rather intricate to fake something as silly as an exploding phone, don't you think? Or actually, you probably don't think and that's why you call this "shenanigans" . What possible plus could this person get by faking his phone exploding? 15 minutes of fame? (Who is he?) Lawsuit? (No blood in these pictures) Phone batteries explode, laptops catch on fire, the sun sets in the west. Get used to it. "Shenanigans", gad, what a dork.
Was he using that wind-powered phone charger? Does the man live in Jamaica, where Hurricane Dean just hit? If so, case closed.
That would certainly explain the pile of unidentifiable rubble!
Reading Atomic Mango and Cobes04's comments makes me feel like watching JFK. I suggest the magic bullet theory caused the demise of this nokia. It didn't explode, it was shot!
I once composited an image of a Velociraptor onto an image of the Pope, and told everyone in the office that it was real. This brought no fame to either me, or the Pope, but the confusion caused by my office wondering what on earth this had to do with advertising in the first place gave me a warm toasty feeling.
Just because someone says something is real, doesn't make it so. Anyone who thinks otherwise is exercising just plain gullibility.
But if you still think otherwise, I have a wonderful investment opportunity for you. You see I have this cousin who represent a wealthy Prince in Nigeria...
i work in the wireless industry and this happens a lot more fequently than you might think.
I charge my phone on the floor all the time,there is no place to put the phone in range of the outlet in my bedroom.
It seems legit, Look at the pic. It was partially under some sort of furniture that he then moved to get a better picture. As for the battery,I'm guessing that rubble is it.
Remember those Dell laptops that exploded? Wasn't that caused by the lithium ion battery, the exact same batteries phones use? If they are volatile when improperly manufactured it doesn't look good for a faulty Tesla Roadstar.
its a whole nokia battery series...some BL-5C model made by "Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. Ltd." are explodig all over the globe... you can go to this page ( http://batteryreplacement.nokia.com/batteryreplacement/en/ ) to check if your battery plans to kill you... they'll replace it for free... if you aint dead yet.
*cant think of anything productive to add*
erm kaboom?
ok here's wut really happened. there really wasn't a phone at all. it was a lion. he transformed into a device that looked like a phone. see where i'm going with this. ok then the lion saw a zebra come into the room and barked and thats wut the sound was, it wasn't the phone exploding it was a bark. then the zebra passed out hit the floor and broke into a million pieces causeing all of that debris. and then pooped, hence the pink stuff next to the zebra (phone in a million pieces).
lucky for him...that phone looks like its from about 2001...time for an upgrade loser. Nokia will probably give him an N95 now just to shut up.
what a bunch of imbeciles.
who the hell cares about any explosion not powerful enough to destroy at least a full acre of land?
inhabited land.
by stupid people.
like you.
Using this old phone, he must be burned
While it's totally understandable to point out what appear to be logical inconsistencies in the story, I think Occam's Razor comes into play here - If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. We see black marks indicating an explosion. We see fragments that look like they came from an explosion. We have verifiable proof from the manufacturer of the cellphone that yes, these particular models of cellphone can (although in thankfully rare circumstances) explode.
There's no need to endlessly multiply entitities. It's rather clear this was an explosion. Though, I applaud your intense cerebral effort to prove the other extreme. If you're willing to put this much energy into something, I have a Rubik's Cube that needs solving, or taxes that need doing. I'm sure you'd be an invaluable aid, and it would keep your mind off the conspiracies that seem to multiply in your life!
Psst - The eyes on the potatoes really CAN see what you're doing. It's a plot to monitor everything you do.
I agree with 22: Occam's Razor. Pretty much all the logical arguments have been presented, so I'll make mine short.
It's possible, it's happened, it's done. Perhaps the real question is why is this particular incident so special that it merited posting on geekologie, when there are so many other neat things going on in the world that would trump this phone every day. I've seen electronic devices 'misbehave,' explode, spark, short, etc.
Either way...Luciano Pavarotti, you will be missed.
heres what happened. ok. he is being hunted by the CIA. he is an iraqui terriorist.
oh by the way did you know NASA (nasional areonamical and space administration) is just a front for the US to create nuclear weapons. they have the techonology. they can do it.
Thats some real Crazy shit
Folks, don't download those Al-Qaeda ringtones.
another failed attempt by the wife
it was the damn elephants!
I actually had to get a battery replaced for my old phone because there was a risk of explosion. Now I'm kinda wishing I kept it and blew it off in an ex boyfriend's car.
fake because screen is not destroyed and batter would have to blow through front to make all that damage but yet the phone isnt broke in half. Also black powder on floor which means gunpowder or some type of explosive powder
lithium Ion batteries are quite volitile...I have used them for years to power my r/c airplanes and helicopters and when I charge them i usually keep them in a crock pot or some other type of "battery bunker" for this very reason....when they overcharge they become hand grenades, burning in excess of 1100 degrees...this comes as no shock to me
wtf ur stupid that blak powder is probly frm the stuff in the b82ry n the other stuff isnt broke cuz it explodid in 1 place wen the b82ry burst n it fell apart cuz the guy probly shit himse4lf n droped it
i rest my case!!!

Officers were called to the area of South 288th Street and 18th Avenue South at about 9:30 p.m. after getting several calls about some sort of disturbance, according to Cathy Schrock with the Federal Way Police Department.
When they arrived, police learned a 14-year-old boy had been shot.
Details about the shooting are still sketchy because nobody at the scene -- including the victim -- is cooperating with police, but Schrock said the wound does not appear to be self inflicted.
The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment, but he is expected to survive.
Police haven't identified any suspects and detectives are on scene investigating.

mmmm... Arthas...what an ambient in warcraft3... i was so deeply marked by blizz universes of fantasy and chromatic...still am hounted
Humans have the ability but some humans are just to shallow in their ways of thinking to aspire to reach such an idea, or even believe they have the potential. Such a sad human dilemma.
So true, my deep blonde friend... It is sad... and here is the border from where some will fade and decay as simple flesh for who life is just "happening unawared of themselves"...and between the ones who DARE to find their true power of mind,... the awareness of self, the power of imagination... And of course these will conquer this life "on his languages" too...

Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum plans changes
At 9:02 a.m. April 19, 1995, so much changed with the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
At 9:03 that morning, the responsibility of remembering and educating began, said Kari Watkins, executive director of the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.
That has not stopped.
About four months ago, the Oklahoma City National Memorial Foundation unveiled plans for an updated museum that foundation officials said will help the memorial better tell the story of the Oklahoma City bombing to all generations.
The 9:03 Fund was created to support this, and the project is in the early design and fundraising stages where more than $7 million already has been raised.
"At that moment, 9:03, we were charged with moving forward and remembering but also rebuilding our lives and our city," Watkins said.
"Through the 9:03 Fund, we will raise an additional $10 million for our endowment which is already right around $13 million and then will also raise more than $5 million for the capital campaign, most of which will be used for the museum enhancement and a cash savings for emergency repairs that we face with an aging facility."
Planned overlook
Plans include a second- story overlook, proposed to be located just above the tree line of the south facade of the museum. Last week, the Downtown Design Review Committee passed the plan for the overlook, Watkins said.
"We wanted to get this approved through the proper channels before we asked additional donors to buy into the idea," she said. "We believe those who donate to help make this a reality will understand why we want to advance this story and the critical nature to remembering this event and its relevance to today."
She said they will go back to the committee over the next year with construction documents.
"This overlook will provide visitors a stronger overall orientation and is intended to allow a richer perspective of how the events in the museum relate to the outdoor site," Watkins said.
"This key component of the renovations will become a signature element of the memorial and museum. It will allow the visitors outside to understand the importance of spending time in the museum, to understand the human side of terrorism and the faces and stories that go with the chairs, the survivor wall, the rescuers' orchard, and the children's area.
"For the visitors inside the museum, it helps them understand the symbolic elements of the outdoor and the power of the loss, the emptiness and to see a city that is rebuilding and is a symbol of resilience to the world."
A timeline calls for the enhancements to be completed by the 20th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing in April 2015.
As part of this, another way to advance the story told at the museum is through technology not available in 2000-01 when the museum was being designed and created, she said.
For instance, the scope of the criminal investigation surrounding the bombing will be told through video, technology and artifacts, she said.
Also with the enhancements, the museum will introduce about 100 new storytellers through video and technology including many of the prosecution and defense teams from the trials.
"This story also teaches the consequences of choices made, both good and bad, and visitors will see that throughout the museum," Watkins said.

Just got it in last Thursday and used 4 nights in a row, can't believe I waited so long to purchase. Makes any other fixed light and certainly a q beam obsolete. I found myself running the river as comfortable as if it was during the day. Very easy to install, I have a 1654 tracker and had to drill casing in order to fit my bow but was no problem at all. I would suggest it to anyone for the convenience of it much less the safety (hands free compared to my old way of running trot lines with a q beam).
I wish there was a way to post pics or a video of us running at night as that's the only way you could really appreciate it.

By far the best boat light on the market!
Posted by DW on 19th Oct 2015
Awesome light! It's everything the discription claims to be - I have yet to see a duck boat light better built!
Posted by Patrick on 8th Jun 2015
I had my mud boat sink in early December after hitting a submerged log at speed. The boat was recently pulled off the bottom of the Eno River in North Carolina. I was curious to see if the LED light bar would still work, so I hooked it up to a battery and it still worked just fine! Was dirty and nasty as all hell, and not pretty, but this thing still worked! Very impressed as the depth was 17 ft at the time and would've been higher earlier in the year after all of the rain we had. Awesome quality and product. Backwater motor was also good after having it cleaned and serviced at a local shop.

I run a full time waterfowl guide service in central Florida. All my hunting is though small cuts and dark trails! My southern led is a game changer! No more holding a spot light or using a head lite to set up decoys. If you don't have one.... Get one!
Posted by Trent on 26th Jan 2015
Just installed the boat lite on my 2015 excel replacing the lights from the excel. The boat light is the best light on the market by far! I have had many different lights on a few boats in my years, and this is the most durable and brightest light out there! I can't wait to use it this season!
Posted by Ben the Duck Master on 16th Jan 2015
Great light very durable, fit and finish is great. Also its fully adjustable feature id great. And this light is extremely bright. Its 6500 kelvin is a brilliant white.
Posted by Andrew Hunter on 27th Nov 2014
Exceptional quality, tremendous amount of lumens spread perfectly across your field of view, and a reasonable price. You won't find another light bar this good
Posted by Wayne Pruitt on 4th Nov 2014
The Southern Lite LED Boat Lite is the baddest light on the market hands down. I bought a brand new Xpress boat and this was my first addition to it. Perfect flood pattern and an excellent spot projection for any terrain. An excellent addition to anyone's rig. I would highly recommend it.
Posted by Trent N on 3rd Aug 2014
A frogs won't nightmare. They just don't move once we got close. Lights up the night like no other. Would light up a football field with both spot and flood on. Will be ordering another for my fishing boat.

Andy Rubin recently sat down with PCMag for an in-depth Q&A session about Android and some of the hottest topics surrounding the OS. For those who don't know, Rubin is one of the founders of Android and currently is a VP at Google, overseeing the development of Android. Check out his talk with Sascha Segan at the source link, including answers on customizations ("the OEMs seem to learn pretty quickly what sells and what doesn't sell"), Gingerbread and where he stands on other platforms. [PCMag]

Andy Rubin Q&A, talks OEMs, Android 3.0, Windows Phone 7 and more
Wasn't really that interesting of a read. Kinda too a shot at microsoft with the "We don't need another mobile platform" . . . but nothing much to read there. He didn't even ask "When will we be seeing Gingerbread" . . . I mean seriously. Could have been alot more indepth
Yup, just saw it.... niceeeeee Love the new font too
im wondering that too. But i dont think the captivate will get gingerbread, imo. Now the droid 2 prolly will though.
Lol at logo
damn Andy is getting killed over in the Engadget comments. But I wouldnt blame them.
That was a pretty lame interview....I think the skinning from oem's will only hurt android in the long run. It will make sure that people aren't able to identify android on the street cause evry phone ui will look different even though itssuppossed to be android. I think google should make stock an option on every phone.....doesn't have to be default but at least an option. His take on windowsphone 7 was lame also....it looks totally different from everything elseon the market and should keep webOS, iOs, and android on its toes....he should welcome it. I think everyone is a little scared of what the zune/xbox integration could do for the platform.....android is barely beating out RIM for next to last place in gaming and I could see the xbox integration vaulting windows phone to the lead very quickly.....not to mention how b ig zunepass could be on the music side of things. Only movie or tv show I can buy on my epic is through the crappy samsung hub.....another place android is dropping the ball. And ca anybody else please copy webOS' multitsking?.....everyone elses attempt is lame and quite frankly not real multitasking. Having an app just to close other apps is a huge raping of the fail that was the old windows mobile platform........android needs help
I'm 50/50 on what the Xbox integration is going to do for it. Talking from a dev perspective. Microsoft always seems to have this oh so great platform for developers. Current MS devs pump it up like its the best thing to ever happen to the software community. Then when the rubber meets the road they don't produce and not many devs come to them. They also make it look like the number of folks developing for the platforms is way larger than it is. For instance the Xbox Arcade doesn't seem to have as many games as you would think it would have by now. I was even excited about it and I don't care for MS developer tools. But once it drops it just doesn't make a splash.
Just to answer a few statements. There is a task manager in android. It autokills when memory falls to a certain level or when u have more than 6 items open. Also, 2.2 (and now some 2.1) android devices have a controllable task manager built in, so you no longer need an app from the market.
-Gaming is quickly catching up. I totally agree that until this year gaming on android wasnt the greatest. 2.1 allowed it to be much better and apparently 3.0 is supposed to take it to console quality. Xbox live game integration is one of my most watched features on the WP7 platform though.
-i totally agree on a stock option. Someone had an idea while back that all phones should be stock, and the manufacturers could sell their skins on the market for those that wanted to buy it. That would be great, IMO.
- His take on windows is irrelevant. He was just taking a moment to shout up android because its so flexible. Thats his job. Im pretty sure Jobs said the same thing about android when it first came on the scene. Look how that turned out. The free market will decide what is a good platform and what isnt. Other than XBL integration, i cant see right now what WP7 is going to do better than my Vibrant to make me want to switch.

Yeah, I know I can't just delete it, it's like a chain reaction, I need one to continue with the others. So what do I do to enable the choice of which starter (I want to delete OAK and RIVAL and replace OAK with a different script) just by entering the Lab? Example, in Shiny Gold, all you need to do is walk in the lab and everything is done the way it should, I just don't know how to do that. And for the level script, how do I make sure the RIVAL walks right in front of me and walks away when the battle is over (only his textbox appears, probably missing something in the script)?

Pa. court won't toss fight over PSU's $60M fine
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A state court says Pennsylvania officials can pursue their bid to keep Penn State's $60 million fine over the Jerry Sandusky scandal in the state.
The Commonwealth Court ruling Wednesday is a setback for the NCAA, which wants the lawsuit filed by state officials thrown out.
The NCAA's 2012 consent decree with Penn State steers the $60 million fine into an endowment for child sexual-assault programs.
The NCAA says a later Pennsylvania law that orders the money be used in the state violates the initial agreement.
However, the court ruling Wednesday says the NCAA settlement only describes how the money should be spent — not where.
Judge Anne Covey's ruling allows a lawsuit filed by state Sen. Jake Corman and Treasurer Rob McCord to go forward.

Norwich band plays for ObamaJanuary 22,2013
The Norwich University Regimental Band represented Vermont on Monday at President Barack Obamas inaugural parade in Washington, D.C.
The 55-member Northfield-based unit marched the 1.6-mile route down Pennsylvania Avenue to reach the White House shortly before 6 p.m., at which time it played the National Emblem March, composed a century ago by Vermonter E.E. Bagley.
It was a long day and a little nappy, but everything went smoothly, the bands director, Lt. Col. Todd Edwards said by phone after the event. What an honor it was to perform for the president.
The oldest collegiate band in the country, the Regimental Band founded in 1823 has traveled to the swearing-ins of presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. It is set to return to the state today.

Classes 2A-4A state tournament notebook: Stephen Clark moves to sixth on all-time scoring list
You probably only need one hand to count the number of games Douglass point guard Stephen Clark hasn't started in his four-year career.
The Oklahoma State signee added another on Friday, sitting out the first five minutes of the Trojans' semifinal win over Victory Christian with an ankle injury.
Clark sat alone toward the end of the bench until about the 3:00 mark of the first quarter, when he stood up and walked to the scorer's table to check in.
He never left the game from that point, scoring 25 points to get Douglass back to the 4A finals for the fourth consecutive year.
His 25 points moved him ahead of former Red Oak player Lane Adams for sixth on Oklahoma's all-time career scoring list with 3,261 points.
It wasn't a good day to be a defending champion in girls basketball.
It started Friday morning when Perkins-Tryon defeated defending Class 3A champ Millwood at State Fair Arena. Class 2A's Fairview was knocked off by Northeast in the early afternoon, and Anadarko in Class 4A went down to Mount St. Mary Friday night at Southern Nazarene in Bethany.
In Tulsa, Class 6A's returning champ, Edmond Santa Fe, lost to Tulsa Washington.
Only Class 5A Shawnee, which needed a second-half comeback and overtime to beat Carl Albert, survived the day.
Asked if he thought his Roland Rangers would ever get back to the state finals after their first appearance in 2007, coach Ed Lewis was brutally honest.
"I live in a dream world," Lewis said with a laugh. "I think every year that my team will have a chance to get there."
The top-ranked Rangers will face No. 2 Douglass, the three-time defending champion, at 12:15 p.m. Saturday in the 4A title game at State Fair Arena. A victory would be the school's first team state championship in any sport.
"To play for a gold ball is so good for my team," Lewis said. "They've worked so hard for several years and I'm excited for them to get the opportunity to play."
Roland lost to Bishop McGuinness in the Class 4A championship in 2007.
Centennial principal Charmaine Johnson was all burgundy and gold Friday night for the Bison boys basketball team's Class 3A semifinal game against Millwood.
But it might have felt a little backward.
Johnson was a basketball player at Millwood before her college career at Oklahoma State.
"Every year, we end up playing Millwood," Johnson said. "So I have my red, white and blue on the inside, but I have all my burgundy and gold on the outside."
With neon green shoes and warm-up shirts, it's hard not to notice the Northeast girls basketball team.
But there is a reason for that.
Northeast coach Londaryl Perry said the original intent was to order pink shoes for cancer awareness, but Nike no longer made the shoes they intended to order.
Instead, they chose neon green in hopes of standing out.
"The girls decided let's go with green, it'll make us stand out," Perry said. "The shirts came about for the state tournament.
"I know it's not pink … but ideas started popping in their heads. So, we rolled with the punches."
Northeast players Danielle Gaddis and Maximina Gonzalez each lost their mom to cancer, according to Perry.
"That really makes some special feelings for that," Perry said.
Okemah coach Kale Simon is making a return to the state finals after the Panthers defeated Sequoyah-Tahlequah 55-35 in the Class 3A boys semifinals. But this time he's done it with a different team.
Simon came to Okemah in 2011 just one season removed from guiding Roff to a Class B state title in 2010. He believes his past experiences have helped this team, but gives most of the credit to his players.
"As far as the preparation and the planning it has helped," Simon said. "But every year you get new kids. The way they've performed has been spectacular. It's simply about them being really, really good today."
Simon has compiled a career record of 137-35, going 48-8 in his two seasons with Okemah. The Panthers' only previous finals appearance was in 2009, when they lost to Cascia Hall.

Mark Naison: The culture of football, as I experienced it in the 1960s and 1970s, was something that I could easily see spilling over into domestic violence, both because so many of the people who played it well were filled with rage, and because women were so thoroughly objectified by the language almost everyone used.
Don't Shoot: Respect, Guide and Inspire
Mark Naison: I am haunted by the death of Michael Brown because I have worked with young people in highly charged settings and have seen what they can accomplish when people who command their respect guide them, challenge them, inspire them and love them.
Arne Gets An Earful!
Mark Naison: I asked for a two-year moratorium on all these policies — no more school closings, no more VAM, no more charter school creation — and a new effort by the US Department Education to have teachers voices have a primary role in shaping Department policy rather than business leaders.
Teacher Temps Can't Move Children Out of Poverty
Mark Naison: One of the things I am most worried about in the rush to online learning and disposable teacher temps is the elimination of relationship building and mentoring, which in my experience, is key in having education move people out of poverty and promote upward mobility.
Why Charter School Scandals Resemble the Subprime Mortgage Crisis
Mark Naison: While the comparison is not exact, there are some powerful similarities between what happened to subprime mortgages and what is currently taking place with charter schools, another "short cut" to opportunity which has been seized upon by elites for financial and political gain, to the detriment of those for whom the charter school was initially designed to help.
Badass Teachers Assn
Mark Naison: As The Badass Teachers Association celebrates its first year I'm utterly stunned by the phenomenal growth. I have never been part of any organization that has grown this fast.
Fighting Common Core Across the Political Spectrum
Mark Naison: Industrial union organizers insisted, to their credit, that Black, Latino and Asian workers had to be included in any movement to achieve collective bargaining rights and respect at the workplace, and made that a central part of the organizing strategy.
Waking Up to Education Activism
Mark Naison: I am going to speak up, and speak out until the testing madness is pushed out of our public schools and until we built a school experience around what empowers and engages children and makes teachers want to remain in their jobs for life.
Charter Schools: The Education Equivalent of Subprime Mortgages
Mark Naison: The Charter School Fad, which seems to have swept through major parties, is going to result in a very painful Day of Reckoning. Any industry given this kind of public subsidy, and this kind of freedom from regulation, is going to lead to extremely high levels of corruption.
Common Core Disregards the Lessons of American History
Mark Naison: Common Core is different. Here is a federal education policy, a blueprint for national standards (which is really a national curriculum) that no grassroots movements, to my knowledge, have ever called for.
Kids Under Pressure
Mark Naison: All over the nation, stories abound of classrooms becoming zones of extreme stress, with teachers and students displaying symptoms of anxiety, rage ,and depression in response to the new demands.
A Long Path to Anti-Racist Scholarship and Activism
Mark Naison: For me, anti-racism was something I wanted to live in real time and space with real people, not just pursued as an abstract principle, and I wanted my anti-racism to connect me to Black people rather than separate me from them.
Fixing Our Schools
Mark Naison: I thought it might be appropriate to momentarily drop my Junkyard Dog/Badass Teacher persona and offer some positive ideas about how to improve our educational system.

Read about us on page 11 in The Connection Summer 2009 issue
Our Training
The primary objective of the GestaltOSD Center is to further the use and development of Gestalt theory and methodology in organizational contexts. Offerings of the OSD Center include training programs, organizational consulting, research, and workshops.
The Gestalt OSD body of knowledge is the foundation for OSD training programs conducted successfully around the world in organizational consulting for nearly 40 years and in coaching for fourteen years. "Stages of development" is a Gestalt OSD "umbrella" concept that supports consultants, coaches and organizational leaders to enhance their coaching capability and capacity. Specifically, program graduates increase their ability to make better use of their own theory, concept and method in the service of appreciating multiple realities and supporting clients to accelerate the process of change. This stage-of-development conceptual framework particularly brings coaches into awareness of an "I want/We need" paradigm as a fundamental dimension of individual and organizational life.
Join Us for a Gestalt OSD Experience
Virtual Open House
Join Gestalt Organizational Systems Development (OSD) Center Leaders on for a virtual open house conversation about Gestalt OSD and how this practice can support you better accomplish your goals. As the pace of change continues to speed up, it is our intention to support our graduates in staying present to what is needed now and moving ever closer to self mastery so we can all make our unique contribution to the world. We look forward to connecting to each of you.
Introduction to Gestalt
This workshop is for individuals who want to enhance their self-awareness. Ten to twelve individuals along with faculty from the OSD Center work as a group to support individual personal growth and development. Special attention is given to the development of awareness and skills supporting effective interaction. This workshop satisfies the Introductory Gestalt Workshop required before or during the program for all OSD training program applicants.
In the OSD Spotlight
During our 40th Anniversary year GestaltOSD was recognized as one of the five top approaches to Organization Development. GestaltOSD theory and concepts continue to be mentioned in many published articles related to coaching. The participants in the current GestaltOSD Weekend Training and Development Program have created an incredible multicultural learning community. We conducted our annual module, Becoming A Better Intervener in the Organization & Systems Renewal Masters Degree Program at Bainbridge Graduate Institute. We conducted an advanced coaching workshop in New Jersey and a workshop for senior consultants in Calgary, Canada. We held two Introductory workshops, one in Seattle and one in Cleveland. In Shanghai China, we conducted three workshops and an open house. The workshops Working With Groups, Working With Individuals and Change Leadership were all sold out.
We continued with our reorganization of the GestaltOSD Center, which includes curriculum changes reflecting the most recent integrated and integrative perspectives of our theory, concept and method. The desired outcome of this change process, which we conduct about every five years, is to ensure that all of our OSD training and development programs remain world class. One significant change is an agreement to use GestaltOSD as our brand and the name of the OSD body of knowledge. Four words have become the integrative focus of our work: Love, Thought, Gratitude and Harmony. Exploring the meaning of these words was core to all of our work this year and very well received by all the participants. We will continue this work at a GestaltOSD gathering in Seattle in March 2015.
We have offered forty-four OSD training and development programs. This calculation does not include offerings of workshops, advanced training programs, corporate training or workshops and consultations. The GestaltOSD training and development programs are considered by many in the field of applied behavior science as the finishing school for individuals wanting to achieve self-mastery as an intervener.
Shanghai China Faculty at "work" …
and at "play"
Feedback we receive demonstrates our graduates continue to enhance their awareness, knowledge and skills and change their lives and the lives of others personally and professionally. Our graduates continue to make a difference with their presence.
Training Programs
The Organization & Systems Development Training Program (OSD Program) is a world-class Gestalt OSD training program that reflects over 30 years of innovative development and application of Gestalt OSD theory, concepts, and methodology. Participants gain invaluable knowledge and skills in intervention design and implementation at all levels of system, and receive immediate feedback from experienced instructors during structured practicums. The program has both a Standard Format (9 modules over 3 years) in Seattle, Washington and a Weekend Format (9 weekend modules over 1 year) in Cleveland, Ohio. The Weekend Format provides an opportunity for individuals interested in the Gestalt Center's world-class OSD training to undertake the experience in a weekend format, requiring minimum time away from work. Both formats provides individuals with the theory, concept, methodology, skills, and techniques for effectively intervening at the individual, two-person, group, and organizational levels of system.

A Past, Present and Future Perspective by John D. Carter
The true worth of interveners is not measured by the set of skills or tools they possess, but by their ability to see themselves clearly in relation to others. Such clarity drives the individual to integrate organizational change knowledge and the synergy of working with others to produce powerful interventions for superior results.
Jeff Evans interviews John D. Carter on personal leadership in a podcast from VoiceAmerica.com, "Leading Out Loud." Listen to it here.
John D. Carter and Veronica Hopper Carter presented a Master Teleclass on key concepts of Gestalt coaching and intervention, sponsored by Mobius Executive Leadership and Integral Leadership and Coaching.

FAIRFAX COUNTY (WJLA) - Prosecutors say the man accused of killing a 19-year-old college student in Falls Church in 2010 intended to kill her.{}
In closing arguments, the prosecutor in the high-profile slaying of Vanessa Pham says defendant Julio Blanco Garcia acted with purpose and deliberation.
In a bold move that shocked some watching the proceedings, defense attorney David Bernhard used his closing arguments to sketch his own picture of what happened in Pham's car the moments before Blanco Garcia stabbed her to death.
Bernhard claimed when the defendant pulled the knife, Pham, while driving, grabbed it with both hands.
"They are struggling, he gets cut, in his mind, point counter point, and he loses it and kills her," he says.
Bernhard compared the defendant to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - that the PCP turned him into another person.
"The defendant committed second degree murder, they didn't prove anything else, they didn't prove premeditation," he says.
Prosecutors say the evidence is clear.
"There is no doubt when he stabbed Vanessa Pham he intended toDeputy Commonwealth's Attorney Casey Langam questioned how impaired Blanco Garcia could have been when moments earlier grocery store security cameras recorded him putting his infant daughter into a cart and move without any obvious sign of impairment.
They argued he committed willful acts when he managed to open the sunroof to Pham's car, take his daughter, discard Pham's cell phone and his bloody clothes and avoid capture for two and a half years.
Blanco Garcia, in a videotaped interrogation played for the jury on Wednesday, apologized for killing Pham.
"I don't know what happened. I grabbed the knife. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to," he says. "I'm not a bad guy, I was just so high that time, I just saw her, I asked her for a ride to the hospital..."
Blanco Garcia is accused of stabbing Vanessa Pham 13 times in 2010 in Falls Church after the victim picked up Blanco Garcia and his infant daughter. Pham's slaying went unsolved for more than two years.
Police eventually linked Blanco Garcia to the murder after he was arrested for shoplifting and his DNA matched DNA found at Pham's crime scene, police say.

Walter Rauschenbusch and the Social Gospel: A Hopeful Theology for the Twenty-First Century Economy
Nelson, Janet R., Cross Currents
If production could be organized on a basis of cooperative fraternity; if distribution could at least approximately be determined by justice; if all men could be conscious that their labor contributed to the welfare of all and that their personal well-being was dependent on the prosperity of the Commonwealth; if predatory business and parasitic wealth ceased and all men lived only by their labor; if the luxury of unearned wealth no longer made us feverish with covetousness and a simpler life became the fashion; if our time and strength were not used up either in getting a bare living or in amassing unusable wealth and we had more leisure for the higher pursuits of the mind and the soul--then there might be a chance to live such a life of gentleness and brotherly kindness and tranquility of heart as Jesus desired for men. (1) --Rauschenbusch, Walter, Christianity and the Social Crisis The book by Walter Rauschenbusch which shook the religious world of our nation, Christianity and the Social Crisis, appeared just a half-century ago. So much has happened in that half-century both to the world and to us as a nation, that it is not altogether surprising that a book which meant so much to American religious life and to the older among us personally should be so obviously dated. (2) --Niebuhr, Reinhold, "Walter Rauschenbusch in Historical Perspective"
When Walter Rauschenbusch presented his path-breaking vision of a Christianized economic order in Christianity and the Social Crisis in 1907, the book galvanized the reading public, going through thirteen printings in seven years and selling more than 50,000 copies. (3) Writing in 1957, Reinhold Niebuhr, the renowned mid-twentieth-century Christian theologian, in effect dismissed the message of Rauschenbusch's work as dated. Rauschenbusch's views were certainly bound by the cultural, political, religious, and economic context of the early years of the twentieth century, but contrary to Niebuhr's contention, the timeliness of Rauschenbusch's insights are undeniably striking today, one hundred years after their publication. His outrage at the social and economic injustices of his day, his unrelenting critique of the capitalistic economic system that had produced so much human suffering and his urgent call for the democratization of that system could not be more relevant to our own times at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
There is some irony here for Reinhold Niebuhr himself is currently attracting considerable attention after having been in eclipse for several decades. Much of this attention is due to President Barack Obama's professed admiration for Niebuhr. In an interview with David Brooks, Obama responded enthusiastically to Brooks' question regarding the work of Niebuhr, stating "I love him. He's one of my favorite philosophers." Brooks quoted Obama that he took away from Niebuhr "the compelling idea that there's serious evil in the world, and hardship and pain. And we should be humble and modest in our belief we can eliminate those things. But we shouldn't use that as an excuse for cynicism and inaction. I take away ... the sense we have to make these efforts knowing they are hard, and not swinging from naive idealism to bitter realism." (4)
Niebuhr's worldview is a much-needed and bracing corrective to the eight years of Bush administration hubris that their policies at home and abroad were unquestionable reflections of the goodness of the American way of life. Niebuhr argued in his many works, including his best known. Moral Man and Immoral Society, (5) that humans are inherently self-interested and that power, even when used to advance the good, is inevitably corrupted by self-interest. Politics is always about power and the best we can strive for is a tenuous and imperfect balance of powers. In reaction to what he perceived to be the idealism of the Social Gospel movement of which Rauschenbusch was a leading proponent, Niebuhr developed the theological position of Christian realism--realism because it was grounded in Niebuhr's appreciation of the limits of the goodness of human nature and even more so, his awareness of the evil always present in human social and political institutions. …
