The U.S. military has started to construct and deploy robotic weapons systems. Although human controllers may still be monitoring the functioning of the technology, the next logical step is to transfer incrementally more of the decision-making power to the robots themselves. Thus, this article seeks to examine the ethical implications of the creation and use of "autonomous weapons systems."

OU caravan notebook: Bob Stoops says receivers will miss multiple games
Bob Stoops announced Wednesday the reinstatement of suspended Sooners Trey Franks, Quentin Hayes and Jaz Reynolds.
The three were suspended, along with sophomore receiver Kameel Jackson, on May 9 for violating unspecified team rules.
Jackson, who was allowed to stay on his scholarship through summer school to improve his grades, was not reinstated. Stoops said he'll evaluate Jackson's situation after summer school ends and then make a decision.
Franks and Reynolds, both junior receivers, and Hayes, a sophomore defensive back, will practice with the team, but still be suspended for a "considerable" amount of games, Stoops said during a very brief media session before Wednesday's Sooner Caravan at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.
Reynolds was OU's third-leading receiver last season with 41 receptions, 715 yards and five touchdowns. Franks was the Sooners' leading kick returner, averaging 23.9 yards a return as a sophomore last season, and caught 22 passes for 196 yards.
If and when the two junior wideouts return to game action, they'll give quarterback Landry Jones more experienced targets to go with junior Kenny Stills, who remains OU's only active receiver with a career NCAA Division I reception.
Stills had 786 yards and five touchdowns last season.
True freshman Trey Metoyer received rave reviews during the spring, and his fellow incoming freshmen, Durron Neal, Sterling Shepard and Derrick Woods, along with junior-college transfer Lacoltan Bester, will also join the mix.
Both Franks and Reynolds have been suspended before. Reynolds was suspended after tweeting insensitive comments about a gunman at the University of Texas during OU/Texas week, and redshirted that season. He was also suspended for one game last season for a violation of team rules.
Franks was suspended for two games last season for violating unspecified team rules.
During the coach's portion of the OU Caravan, audience members were allowed to submit a question. Stoops' final question was about how he felt on the receiver situation.
"No concerns," Stoops said nonchalantly. "We'll have plenty. We'll have guys out there. We'll be better than you think, I believe. Believe me. At receivers. All right. Everybody just relax. We just got to go out and coach 'em. We'll be OK."
Sherri Coale and the women's basketball team will be leaving the country on Aug. 7 to go on a tour. Per NCAA regulations, a team is allowed one foreign tour every four years. The team will be going to Australia, so they have already started practice.
"I know. I know it's a tough job," Coale said, "but somebody had to do it."
For the first time, the NCAA is allowing basketball coaches and players to practice for two hours per week in the summertime. OU men's basketball coach Lon Kruger talked about the positives of the NCAA change.
"The opportunity to work in the summer time is great, not just from a basketball perspective, but you get to know them more," Kruger said. "Especially with the freshman; you get a chance to help them with that transition a little more regularly."
Kruger has four freshman coming in, but he said there is a good core coming back from last year's team.
"We've got five or six new guys who are bringing in great energy and great passion," Kruger said. "It will be a lot more competitive internally, which is good."
Stoops stood on stage and raised his hand.
"I want to join," he said as the crowd roared in laughter. Coale had brought up membership for the Sooner Stilettos, a support club for OU women's basketball.
Stoops was on a joke roll. Earlier in the night, Gabe Ikard was able to tell the crowd one thing they didn't know about Coach Stoops.
"Everyone else has to park real far away, and right in front of the locker room is a spot for the head football coach," Ikard said. "And half the time, there's a pink, Mary Kay Cadillac. We all get really confused out there."
Stoops' wife, Carol, is a Mary Kay national sales director, the highest rank on the independent sales side of the company. Stoops said he would drive that vehicle any chance he got.
"Gabe," Stoops said. "It takes a big man to drive a pink Cadillac in front of 105 guys."

Backsplash: Inertia again bites justice reform plans
Chief Brody sized up the situation and spat out a Hollywood one-liner that's buoyed many a reference joke over the years: "You're gonna need a bigger boat." This was scripted in "Jaws."
What's eating Oklahoma today is that "prison reform" has been heavy on the prison and light on the reform. We're gonna need a bigger jail.
The latest reform effort was the 2012 Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI). Last week, two men leading the effort walked off the set over frustration with continued inertia in prison reform. JRI is a proposal to help reduce violent crime and ease prison overcrowding by putting more money into crime prevention and prison avoidance and less into warehousing convicts.
Kris Steele, the former Republican Oklahoma House speaker, and David Prater, the Democratic Oklahoma County district attorney, sized up the situation and concluded that the anti-reform sharks are still circling in the water.
Steele and Prater abruptly quit as co-chairman of a JRI working group. This followed Gov. Mary Fallin's refusal to take $400,000 in federal funds that could have helped train people to implement the reforms. Pending legislation would politicize the implementation. Although Steele is a former politician and Prater a current one, they took a thoughtful, non-partisan approach to reform.
The fins of change affecting JRI are part of a long effort to stifle reform under the guise of not being soft on crime. Mandatory minimum sentences, pushing all parole decisions to the governor's desk, criminalizing behavior that's best handled with treatment rather than incarceration – these are components of a corrections system with an insatiable appetite.
The system fattened in the days when Democrats steered the boat; today, Republicans are at the helm. Perhaps it's not yet time to close the beaches on JRI. But it looks as if our paraphrase of Chief Brody's line is apt.
Prison reform in Oklahoma isn't seaworthy. It's flotsam.

A lot of people have been focusing in on Andre McFarland as a SF recruit but I've heard that GMac is after Petersen very hard.
Any info you can share?
Peterson is really under the radar nationally and that is key to us trying to land him. He is a 3-star right now but played amazing in some AAU tournaments earlier this year. Some recruiters have said a lot more programs are calling him now but he has a few more tournaments befroe anybody really starts to offer. I think if GMac can get in some time to evaluate him, Peterson could likely be a Clone before exploding onto the stage. He has been called a possible 5-star player but he has some work to do before he gets there.
McFarland or Peterson would be a great pickup and I wouldn't rule out the possibility of both being Cyclones depending on how things work out overall.
Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.

Feds, farmers create habitats for migrating birds
MAMOU, La. Water gurgling from a well is flooding Craig Gautreaux's rice and crawfish fields, turning the farm into a wetland for migratory birds whose usual Gulf of Mexico wintering grounds are threatened by the oil spill.
Across eight states, farmers such as Gautreaux are inundating fallow fields to provide an alternative for some of the tens of millions of ducks, geese and shorebirds that are beginning to make their way south on a flyway that stretches as far north as Alaska and Iceland.
"Hopefully, we can help," said Gautreaux, who has dedicated 762 acres about 90 miles inland from the Gulf to the project under a three-year, $132,441 contract that likely will cover his costs but provide little if any profit. "I want to keep the birds around."
Biologists fear the birds will arrive to spend winter at the Gulf barrier islands, shorelines and marshes only to find these habitats fouled and their food supply depleted.
Government officials hope to have 150,000 acres of manmade wetlands ready by Aug. 15, although they do not know how many birds will use it.
The federal government hasn't funded anything like this $20 million project before, but farmers and scientists are hopeful the program in the five Gulf states and Arkansas, Georgia and Missouri could work. They note that Gulf-bound birds often stop anyway at their farms, where rice and crawfish fields are already flooded for parts of each season.
"There's a sense of urgency here," said Kevin Norton, who heads the U.S. Department of Agriculture's conservation programs in Louisiana. If the oil causes major die-offs, he said, "that will ripple through the populations for years to come."
The program is so popular that Texas and Louisiana exhausted their initial funding within weeks and lobbied for more. Texas has now received nearly $6 million under the program and hopes to have all its contracts funded by Aug. 1.
Yet the scheme isn't likely to be a windfall for the farmers. It's designed to compensate them for pumping and holding the water, which can be expensive, without generating a profit.
The amount farmers are paid will depend on how much land they devote and the steps they take to make it suitable for birds.
Flooding will cost between $43 and $200 per acre, depending on factors such as water value in a particular area and the condition of the land, said Russell Castro, a biologist with the federal conservation service in Temple, Texas. Some farmers will have to build small levees or dikes.
"Anyone who buys a farm and runs it themselves, I guess you don't do it to get rich," said Grantt Guillory, 37, who raises crawfish and soybeans in southern Louisiana's Atchafalaya River watershed. "You get into it because you're somewhat of a steward to the environment. I care about these birds and I'm afraid the oil spill is going to devastate some of these species."
His grant application hasn't been accepted yet, but he's turning about 235 marshy acres into wetlands anyway, keeping the area submerged under six to 10 inches of water for a couple of months longer than usual.
Farmers typically rotate which fields they plant, leaving some fallow each year, and the ones being flooded for the birds are generally those out-of-use plots. In some cases, the extra flooding might take place before planting or after harvest.
Some farmers might choose to provide several inches of water and mudflats from July through October, an ideal habitat for shorebirds such as sandpipers and dowitchers. Shallow water on moist soils in August and September could attract early migrating waterfowl such as the blue-winged teal.

Secretary of state race underway, bridge may need private funding, sewer policy dismissed
Is the race for Ohio secretary of state already underway? Ohio Sen. Nina Turner, who is considering a run against Secretary of State Jon Husted in 2014, says she will introduce legislation to protect voters against Republican efforts to limit ballot access. She also criticized Husted for how he handled the 2012 election, which CityBeat covered here. Husted responded by asking Turner to "dial down political rhetoric." Build Our New Bridge Now, an organization dedicated to building the Brent Spence Bridge, says the best approach is private financing. The organization claims a public-private partnership is the only way to get the bridge built by 2018, rather than 2022. But critics are worried the partnership and private financing would lead to tolls. The Hamilton County Board of Commissioners threw out a Metropolitan Sewer District competitive bidding policy yesterday. The policy, which was originally passed by City Council, was called unfair and illegal by county commissioners due to apprenticeship requirements and rules that favor contractors within city limits. Councilman Chris Seelbach is now pushing for compromise for the rules. Believe it or not, Cincinnati's economy will continue outpacing the national economy this year, says Julie Heath, director of the University of Cincinnati's Economics Center. Three Cincinnati-area hospitals are among the best in the nation, according to new rankings from Healthgrades. The winners: Christ Hospital, Bethesda North Hospital and St. Elizabeth Healthcare-Edgewood. Democrat David Mann, former Cincinnati mayor and congressman, may re-enter politics with an attempt at City Council. In its 2013 State of Tobacco report, the American Lung Association gave Ohio an F for anti-smoking policies. The organization said the state is doing a poor job by relying exclusively on federal money for its $3.3 million anti-tobacco program. The Centers for Disease Control says Ohio should be spending $145 million. The Air Force is gearing up for massive spending cuts currently set to kick in March. The cuts will likely affect Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Dennis Kucinich, who used to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, will soon appear on Fox News as a regular contributor. For anyone who's ever been worried about getting attacked by a drone, there's now a hoodie and scarf for that.

New restrooms stalled, Medicaid expansion saves money, there is no "climate debate"
City Council wants to do more research before it proceeds with freestanding public restrooms in downtown and Over-the-Rhine. The vote has been delayed. Critics say the restrooms are too expensive at $130,000, but supporters, particularly Councilman Chris Seelbach, insist the restrooms will not be that expensive. A majority of City Council argues the restrooms are necessary because increasing populations and growth in downtown have made 24-hour facilities necessary. A new report found Ohio's budget would benefit from a Medicaid expansion. The expansion would mostly save money by letting the federal government pick up a much larger share of the cost for Ohio's population, particularly prison inmates. A previous study found Medicaid expansions were correlated with better health results, including decreased mortality rates, in some states. Another study from the Arkansas Department of Human Services found the state would save $378 million by 2025 with the Medicaid expansion. Most of the savings from the Arkansas study would come from uncompensated care — costs that are placed on health institutions and state and local governments when uninsured patients that can't and don't pay use medical services. The Dayton Daily News has a wonderful example of how not to do journalism. In an article on the supposed "climate debate," the newspaper ignored the near-unanimous scientific consensus on global warming and decided to give credence to people who deny all scientific reasoning. To be clear, there is no climate debate. There's the overwhelming majority of scientists, climatologists and data on one side, and there's the pro-oil, pro-coal lobby and stubborn, irrational conservatives who will deny anything that hurts their interests on the other side. The Ohio Board of Education approved policies for seclusion rooms. The non-binding policy requires parents to be notified if their children are placed in a seclusion room, and the Ohio Department of Education can also request data, even though it won't be made public. More stringent policies may come in the spring. Seclusion rooms are supposed to be used to hold out-of-control kids, but an investigation from The Columbus Dispatch and StateImpact Ohio found the rooms were being abused by teachers and school staff for their convenience. If the city wants to buy Tower Place, the mall will have to be cleared out, according to City Manager Milton Dohoney. Last week, the remaining businesses at Tower Place were evicted, and Dohoney said the city did not sign off on the eviction orders. Apparently, the city really didn't agree to or enforce eviction orders, but the city's buyout requires evictions. Dohoney said the eviction notices should signify the deal to buy Tower Place is moving forward. Dohoney appointed Captain Paul Humphries to the assistant chief position for the Cincinnati Police Department. Humphries has been on the force for 26 years, and he currently serves as the chief of staff to Chief James Craig. Cincinnati's Neighborhood Enhancement Program (NEP) is targeting Mt. Airy and Carthage. Starting March 1, police, businesses and civic groups will begin putting together accelerated revitalization and reinvestment plans for the communities. NEP emphasizes building code enforcement, crime, neighborhood cleanup and beautification. Good news, everyone. Cincinnati is no longer the bedbug capital. Bob Castellini, owner of the Reds, was named the region's master entrepreneur by Northern Kentucky University. The Ohio Department of Transportation released a website that has real-time traffic information. Some people really suck at political slogans. Oh, science. Apparently, particle physics could improve Netflix's suggestions.

State budget will reform taxes, Monzel takes charge of county, freestanding restroom vote
Gov. John Kasich's 2014-2015 budget plan is on the horizon, and it contains "sweeping tax reform," according to Tim Keen, budget director for Kasich. Keen said the new plan will "result in a significant competitive improvement in our tax structure," but it's not sure how large tax cuts would be paid for. Some are already calling the plan the "re-election budget." Expectations are Kasich's administration will cut less than the previous budget, which greatly cut funding to local governments and education. Chris Monzel is now in charge of the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners. Monzel will serve as president, while former president Greg Hartmann has stepped down to vice president. Monzel says public safety will be his No. 1 concern.City Council may vote today on a plan to build the first freestanding public restroom, and it may be coming at a lower cost. City Manager Milton Dohoney said last week that the restroom could cost $130,000 with $90,000 going to the actual restroom facility, but Councilman Seelbach says the city might be able to secure the facility for about $40,000. Tomorrow, county commissioners may vote on policy regarding the Metropolitan Sewer District. Commissioners have been looking into ending a responsible bidder policy, which they say is bad for businesses. But Councilman Seelbach argues the policy ensures job training is part of multi-billion dollar sewer programs. Board President Monzel and Seelbach are working on a compromise the city and county can agree on. The Hamilton County Board of Elections is prepared to refer five cases of potential voter fraud from the Nov. 6 election. The board is also investigating about two dozen more voters' actions for potential criminal charges. King's Island is taking job applications for 4,000 full- and part-time positions. Ohio may soon link teacher pay to quality. Gov. John Kasich says his funding plan for schools will "empower," not require, schools to attach teacher compensation to student success. A previous study suggested the scheme, also known as "merit pay," might be a good idea. An economist says Ohio's home sales will soon be soaring. Debe Terhar will continue as the Board of Education president, with Tom Gunlock staying as vice president. Equal rights for women everywhere could save the world, say two Stanford biologists. Apparently, giving women more rights makes it so they have less children, which biologists Paul R. and Anne Ehrlich say will stop humanity from overpopulating the world.

More laws to curb human trafficking, feds stop fracking waste, Mallory tours with feds
Gov. John Kasich is ready to support further action on human trafficking. Members of the Ohio legislature have already committed to further action. The next few measures will address the statute of limitations for trafficking, parents who traffic their children and laws affecting children services and child welfare. Last session, the legislature passed a "safe harbor" law that changed the classification of children caught in prostitution from criminals to victims. A 2010 bill also increased penalties for human trafficking and related crimes.A Texas-based company wants to ship thousands of barrels of fracking waste through river barges to Ohio. But the U.S. Coast Guard is halting the plan while it investigates whether the waste can be transported through water routes and the plan's potential environmental impact. Critics are worried Ohio is becoming a dumping ground for fracking waste.Mayor Mark Mallory took a tour with federal officials to show off developments going on in the city and the potential route for the streetcar. The tour was meant to show off projects that have gotten help from the federal government. After the bus tour, Mallory acknowledged the city has "a lot of work to do," but he added, "There really is a buzz about Cincinnati around this country. It is true." A Cincinnati Children's Hospital survey found one-third of teen girls report meeting with someone they've met online. Psychologist Jennie Noll says abused or neglected girls are more likely to present themselves in sexually provocative ways on the Internet and meet more people in real life. Noll warned the meetings can be dangerous for young girls. Apparently, the meetings seem to happen regardless of Internet filtering software, but high-quality parenting and monitoring can help.

John Kasich asking for the state to intervene at Corrections Corporation of America's Lake Erie Correctional Institution. But Col. John Born, superintendent at the Ohio State Highway Patrol, wrote in a response that criminal incidents have gone down at the CCA facility, even though drug smuggling has gone up. He also writes the state has deployed more cruisers, but he claims local law enforcement have better means and legal authority to deal with cases at the prison. In other prison news, Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) Director Gary Mohr wants to keep misbehaving inmates in prison longer. In the last legislative session, Mohr helped push laws that reduced sentences for low-crime offenders. Looks like State Treasurer Josh Mandel is firing 10 percent of his staff. The press release for the announcement has great wording for the bad news: "Treasurer Mandel announces further payroll reductions and personnel consolidation." Ohio gas prices ticked up in response to hopes of a larger economic recovery. The Cincinnati Zoo has another adorable animal: the Brazilian ocelot kitten. Science says global warming won't suck for everyone. Canadian killer whales tend to make gains, for example. Should humanity really risk making killer whales even stronger? They can already take down animals that are on solid surface.

More Bad News From Private Prison
Conneaut councilman asks state to intervene at CCA facility
Private prison critics have been proven right once again. Smuggling incidents are on the rise around Lake Erie Correctional Institution, which Ohio sold to the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) in 2011. In a letter to Gov. John Kasich's northeast Ohio liaison, Conneaut Councilman Neil LaRusch claimed a rise in contraband smuggling has forced local police to increase security around the CCA facility. Since the end of 2012, four have been arrested and charged with smuggling. Another four were arrested Monday and police suspect they were in Conneaut for a smuggling job. According to the Star Beacon, the four suspects arrested Monday were only caught due to the increased police presence outside the Lake Erie prison. LaRusch said Conneaut and its police department are already running tight budgets, and they can't afford to continue padding prison security. He then asked the state and governor to help out with the situation. The letter prompted a reaction from the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio (ACLU), which has staunchly opposed prison privatization in the state. In a statement, Mike Brickner, director of communications and public policy for the ACLU, said, "Unfortunately, this is a predictable pattern with private prisons. Promises of lower costs quickly morph into higher crime, increased burdens on local law enforcement, and in the end, a higher bill for taxpayers." He added, "This is not an anomaly. It is a predictable pattern. The private prison model is built on profit above all else. These facilities will cut corners and shift responsibility to taxpayers wherever necessary to maximize profits." The governor's office and Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) could not be immediately reached for comment. This story will be updated if a response becomes available.Update (5:00 p.m.): Col. John Born, superintendent of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, responded to the councilman's letter. In his own letter, Born doesn't contradict that there's a rise in drug smuggling, but he gives the issue more context. Born wrote criminal incidents at the Lake Erie prison have actually decreased. He acknowledges drug smuggling cases went up from four in 2011 to seven in 2012, but he says drug cases have gone down at the prison since 2010. He also claims seven other state prisons have seen a greater rise in drug smuggling. Born frames the issue in a national context: "Unfortunately, despite best efforts, the national problem of illegal drug usage and drug trafficking continues to plague our nation."Regarding state assistance, Born wrote the Ohio State Highway Patrol does not have the authority to strengthen security in order to directly prevent drug smuggling: "It is important to point out the Ohio State Highway Patrol's legal authority and corresponding duties prior to the sale of the prison and after the sale remain largely unchanged. Ohio troopers did not have original jurisdiction on private property off institution grounds while under state operations nor do they today."He adds the Ohio State Highway Patrol has already deployed more cruisers at the prison, but he believes local law enforcement are still the best option for responding to incidents.JoEllen Smith, spokesperson for ODRC, wrote in an email, "DRC will be in communication with the parties involved to ensure any remaining concerns are addressed." CityBeat previously covered private prisons in-depth ("Liberty for Sale," issue of Sept. 19). Within a week of the story going to stands, ODRC Director Gary Mohr said the state would not privatize any more prisons. On the same day of his announcement, Mohr apparently received an audit that found the CCA facility was only meeting 66.7 percent of state standards ("Prison Privatization Blues," issue of Oct. 10).

Drifting In A Jellyfish Sea
Cover: Purple Jellyfish - Pelagia noctiluca
Text and images by Herb Segars
It's late summer and I am 20 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean off New Jersey. I am wearing long underwear, a waterproof ( and leak-proof, I hope ) rubber suit, 40 pounds of dive gear and a 30-pound weight belt to keep me from bobbing to the surface. A slight current forces me to grip the anchor line with one hand and take photographs with the other. I see a possible subject 6 feet away and watch as it drifts closer.
In the blink of an eye, I have set my focus and triggered the camera. The two underwater flashes attached to the camera fire and I hope that the results look as good as I envision. Between frames, I monitor my air supply and my time underwater. Thousands of planktonic subjects float by in the hour that I am below. Today turns out to he a good day - I run out of film before my time or air expires. Back on the boat, I dry off, change film and wait the required 1+ hours before making my next underwater photographic journey.

Capturing the underwater realm on film is a long and painstaking process. All my underwater work off New Jersey happens in the spring, summer and fall. In a good year, I am able to make 70 dives and shoot 70 rolls of film. When strong winds and rough seas bring a season of had weather, the number of dives and rolls of film taken drop to fewer than 20. In comparison, on a typical topside nature photography trip, I can shoot 70 rolls of film in a week.

Free Webinar on June 17: Re-invent your internal communications for the 21st century
Posted on May 25, 2016 1:29 pm | The Workplace Experience | Internal | Technology
"I have some senior managers questioning the need to retain dedicated internal communications specialists. Why not just get others in the Marketing team to chip in to support, they suggest."
That was the message I got from a corporate communications manager in mid-May. It wasn't the first time I have heard this sentiment. Or the second. Not even the third. The fact is, the workplace conditions that gave rise to the internal communications function have changed so dramatically that, unless we change too, the very notion of a discrete employee communications function could be rendered obsolete.
In this free webinar, I will outline the changes that must drive internal communications, the challenges with our current models, and then present a roadmap for reinventing the function to make it not only relevant but indispensable. I will also take your questions live during the webinar. Afterwards, you'll have access to the video recording of the webinar.

The Dirt on Your Dorm Room »
Your college dorm room is likely home to plenty of dirty roommates--including some you don't even know about. In this video, we'll dig into the dirt and bacteria in your dorm, and discuss the health risks of forgoing basic hygiene.
Transcript: If you're like most college students, you have a roomate-but we bet you didn't know that you actually...
If you're like most college students, you have a roomate-but we bet you didn't know that you actually share your room with countless others. It's true: That dorm room you call home is also home to bacteria, viruses, mold, dust, mites, and more. Take, for example, your shared sink and shower area, both of which have more than 100,000 forms of bacteria living in them-and that's in the bathrooms that are cleaned weekly, Health magazine attests! Meanwhile, the same magazine found that water fountains in the hallway are home to 2.7 million forms of bacteria on the spigot alone. Unfortunately, your room isn't much better, as both your mattress and carpet host dust mites and possibly even bed bugs, both of which can cause rashes. And if you live in an older dorm, your heating system has probably been spreading the same dust and mold throughout your building for years. Now that we've given you the bad news, here's the good: You can avoid most of these germs with some simple know-how. For starters, wash your hands before every meal, and do so habitually. Why? For one thing, the University of Wisconsin found that one-third of college-aged men, and one-fifth of college-aged women don't, which is pretty appalling when you consider that 80% of all infections are spread via hand contact! In the bathroom, always wear flip-flops and never set your toothbrush on the sink when you're not using it. You can eliminate 99.9 percent of dust mites by dedicating yourself to vacuuming your carpet and stripped-down bed every other week. These are simple steps, but they'll save you a lot of time that might otherwise have been spent at the health center during your college career!More »

Comments about La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX Boot - Women's:
Have not used it for hiking/mountaineering - just walked around the house, up and down the stairs and decided to return the boots. Not even close to my favorite LOWAs. Very disappointed!

Comments about La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX Boot - Women's:
These boots are just the right thing for summer mountaineering. They are light, nimble, very comfortable, required no break-in time and are a good fit for people with narrow feet. I lived in these boots for a month while scrambling around on glaciers, moraines and rocky islands in Antarctica (on the peninsula during the austral summer) and couldn't have been happier with them.

Comments about La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX Boot - Women's:
These are my favorite mountaineering boots any time it's not too cold. They hold semi-automatic crampons well, even on WI3 technical ice, flex in the right places but not the places where you need stability, and required no break in time. They haven't leaked so far and I've had them more than a year and taken them through lots of slushy now (use gaiters of course).

But Who's Counting?
7:18 am
My 9-year-old and 7-year-old have 6 minutes to catch Bus 236 and ride 4 miles to PS 132. I pack 2 lunches, locate 70 cents for milk money, sign 3 papers and load up their backpacks, which seem to weigh 50 pounds each. My husband downs his second cup of coffee, aims a kiss at me, missing my cheek by 1/4 of an inch, and drives the 8 miles to work in rush hour traffic, which takes half an hour. The four-year-old turns on Channel 12 and Ernie introduces us to the number 5. I bribe my 2-year-old with 6 oyster crackers so that she will sit on the potty and do number two. I am on day 21 of my birth control pills. You know what that means.
9:27 am
I have to be at the dentist's by 10:00 so he can x-ray my number 32 molar. It will take 14 minutes, cost me $92 and I'll have to give the babysitter my last five-dollar bill. There's construction on Highway 127 and my car has only 1.5 gallons of gas in it. Three Dog Night are on the oldies station, singing "One". I'm 34 years old and all I have in my purse is $9.98 in cash, 3 sticks of gum, 4 credit cards, 1 pair of toddler training underpants, and no tissues. I graduated from college with a 3.85 GPA. Sometimes I wonder why.
11:36 am
I take the two youngest and go to K-Mart, which is having a sale. I spend $52.68 on 2 pairs of sneakers, 3 pairs of toddler jeans and a honking big box of disposable diapers. The 4-year-old tries 3 times to fit into the shelf under the shopping cart, the two-year-old manages 5 times to pull stuff off passing displays into the cart, I say "stop it!" approximately 837 times, and waste 17 minutes trying to fit into a pair of size 10 jeans. I have four kids, one husband, two cars, a dog, three parakeets and a 12-year-old house. Who cares about new jeans, anyway?
2:51 pm
My 41-pound four-year-old falls asleep in the car and has to be carried up 17 steps to her bedroom. My 32-pound two-year-old throws her 12th fit of the day and has to be punished with 5 minutes in the corner. Their naps overlap by exactly 11 minutes. I fold two loads of towels, wash 3 pairs of pantyhose, and do 20 sit-ups. My mother calls and spends 20 minutes telling me about how she won $40 by choosing six numbers in the lottery. I open a 7-Up.
4:06 pm
My older children are home from school and within 12 seconds, they dump two bookbags, two lunchboxes, 4 shoes, two jackets and about 27 papers in the living room. I count to ten. I listen to first grade reading and help practice fourth grade spelling. My son sings a commercial jingle 17 times and my daughter reveals that she has 3 boyfriends, one of whom she kissed on the elbow. I start fixing supper. Oprah is having a show about strengthening your marriage. I could tell her a thing or two about that. I've been married for 12 years. I get one "date night" a month, one video rental a week, and sex every other night. Hey, it's cheaper than counseling and burns calories, too. My husband gets cable TV and all the action movies he wants. None of them good.
5:58 pm
We get through dinner with only 2 spills, 3 arguments, and 4 spaghetti stains. Thank goodness for 409. My husband spends 7 minutes watching the sports news on TV, 13 minutes reading the front page of the paper, and one and a half minutes talking to me. Then he clears the table and I forgive him. I load the dishwasher. Three meals a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. I don't even want to do the math. I make up a grocery list. One loaf bread, a dozen eggs, large size jar of peanut butter, and coffee. Lots of coffee.
6:42 pm.
"Two, Four, Six, Eight, Who do we appreciate?" 12 cheerleaders, 9 years old, shake their pompoms and practice their cheers for PeeWee Football. My son and 16 other boys, shoulder pads dwarfing their heads, run around the field. Daughter #1 is playing hopscotch in the dirt. Daughter #2 is rolling in the dirt. Daughter #3 is at home with Daddy, pooping in her pants. I'm on Chapter 3 and just reread paragraph 4 for the fifth time. Daughter #2 whines for a Three Musketeers. I give her four Lifesavers.
8:45 pm
Three sweet-smelling, freshly bathed daughters; one surly, funky-smelling son with 7 math problems to go. My husband falls asleep on the couch 8.5 minutes after I get home. I picture to myself one large baseball bat. Then I switch the TV from Channel 9 (football) to Channel 18 (Jerry Springer) and turn the sound WAY UP. I sing two lullabies, read 3 stories, find the baby's blankie and take her on one last trip to the potty. I tell the 9-year-old four jokes and let him borrow my walkman so he can listen to 30-year-old comedy routines by the Smothers Brothers in bed. Get 4 hugs and 4 damp, noisy kisses. I give one long, satisfied sigh.
9:37 pm
I pour myself 6 ounces of wine, $6.98 a bottle. I pick up two sweaters, 3 socks, 4 naked Barbie dolls, 5 pennies, and 6 crayons. My husband comes out of his stupor and rubs my back. We have 8 hours and 23 minutes before it all starts over again. I kiss him twice. We check the TV Guide. Oh, good. "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers".

The new Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X540-T2 is the lowest cost way to deploy 10 GbE in your data center today. Install the X540 adapter into a server and the auto-negotiation between 1 GbE and 10 GbE provides the necessary backwards compatibility that most customers require for a smooth transition and easy migration to 10 GbE. When time and budget allows, 10GBASE-T switches can be added any time to experience the full benefits of 10 GbE. The wait for a low cost 10 GbE copper solution to broadly deploy 10 GbE to all corners of the data center is over. The new X540, dual-port adapter provides bandwidth-intensive applications with highly affordable 10GbE network performance and cost-effective RJ-45 connectivity for distances up to 100 meters.

Pros: Dual 10Gbase-T (RJ45) ports in one slot
Cons: Cost.
Other Thoughts: In the world of servers reliability and stability is key. Intel network cards are in my opinion your only choice. They have extremely stable drivers for every server OS, and I've never had an Intel network card fail in the 14 years that I've been doing server support. In the end this card is Its a little costly but it is extremely fast, and reliable.

This review is from: Intel X540T2 Ethernet Converged Network Adapter 100Mbps/1Gbps/10Gbps PCI Express 2.1 x8 2 x RJ45
Pros: Does exactly what it is supposed to. Setup was as easy as any other networking card, except ten times the speed!
Cons: Kinda pricy, but being able to stream our huge Nuke and AE composites from the server without lag has more than paid for itself.
Other Thoughts: The NIC worked great and as expected. But full 10gbe switches are still expensive and LOUD. Not recommended for home use unless you can avoid using the current range of 10gb switches.

I wish they made a product that would stick so it won't move around a lot. When using this product you have to be perfectly still so it won't move.

They're polyurethane, which is the only way to go when you're allergic, & they have no flavor (and no latexy aftertaste) so you can use any flavored lube you want with them... Mmmm, mmm, good!

The Johnson Institute for Responsible Leadership reflects GSPIA's commitment to producing professionals who adhere to the highest standards of ethics and public accountability. The Johnson Institute provides students, faculty and the community at large with opportunities to engage in disciplined reflections and rigorous inquiry on issues of ethics and accountability that are of particular interest to the public and nonprofit sectors.
The mission of the Johnson Institute is to enhance professional and institutional ethics and accountability in public leadership. We accomplish this mission through an integrated portfolio of programs including:
Teaching: The Johnson Institute provides classroom instruction and experiential learning opportunities for GSPIA students and for experienced public service executives. The Leadership Portfolio Program is a 15 month leadership development program for exceptionally promising and motivated students.
Research: The Johnson Institute conducts basic and applied research on leadership and accountability in public service leading to publications in top journals. We also regularly publish case studies profiling the accomplishments of winners of our Exemplary Leader Award. The cases are available for classroom use here and at other institutions.
Outreach: The Johnson Institute promotes discussion and debate on timely public policy issues that involve leadership in the public sector. When possible also provide leadership consulting services, usually free of charge, to public and nonprofit organizations. The Nonprofit Clinic gives graduate students the opportunity to serve as management consultants to nonprofits in the Pittsburgh region.
These three aspects of the Johnson Institute mission work in concert to enhance the quality of public leadership in government, nonprofit, and nongovernmental organizations in Pittsburgh, the Nation, and abroad.
The Johnson Institute for Responsible Leadership will honor Susan Collin Marks, Peace Ambassador and John Marks, Founder of the Search for Common Ground at 3:30 pm, Thursday, April 21 at the University Club.
For many years, the City of Pittsburgh was said to be suffering from "brain drain," the phenomena caused by students receiving a rigorous education from one of Pittsburgh's prestigious institutions, and then leaving the city in search of better economic opportunities in other regions, explained John Delano on a recent segment of the Sunday Business Page.
The Johnson Institute for Responsible Leadership is pleased to release its 2015 annual report featuring exemplars of leadership, teaching, research, and the ongoing public service efforts of the institute.
The students of the Leadership Portfolio Program recently met with former Secretary of the Treasury, Paul O'Neill. The retired Alcoa Chairman and CEO made the trip to campus to share his insights on leadership with the group. Mr. O'Neill has long been known for the emphasis he places on workplace safety and has carried this ideal with him through posts in all three sectors at Alcoa, The RAND Corporation, and even the Department of the Treasury.
The Johnson Institute is pleased to announce that a team of GSPIA faculty, staff and alumni recently received an honorable mention for best paper at the Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action Conference. Director Kevin Kearns, Institute Administrator Lydia McShane, and alumni David Bell (PhD) and Bobbi Deem (MPA) conducted intensive interviews with CEOs and board chairs for their exploratory study, How Nonprofit Leaders Evaluate Funding Sources: An Exploratory Study of Nonprofit Leaders. To read the paper, click here.
The Johnson Institute's Case Study Series features the outstanding accomplishments of the Institute's Exemplary Leadership Award Winners. This is the fifth case study in the exemplary leader series and it documents the leadership of Mark A. Nordenberg, Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh from 1996 to 2014. Read more.

text: Emerging-Market Debt Offers More than One Kind of Diversification Paul DeNoon March 28, 2013 Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Emerging Markets, Fixed Income One key attraction of emerging-market debt is that it can help investors to diversify existing portfolios of developed-market fixed-income securities. But there's more than one kind of diversification, and more than one way to approach the opportunity, depending on each investor's objectives. There are two broad types of diversification. The first type, portfolio diversification, seeks to mitigate systemic, market-level (beta) risk. The second, issuer diversification, deals with issuer-specific (alpha) risk. Mitigating Market-Level Risk Portfolio diversification involves seeking strategies with low correlations to the existing assets in a portfolio. The table below shows the correlations between various categories of developed-market (DM) and emerging-market (EM) debt. For example, the historical correlation between US Treasuries and local-currency EM sovereign debt hedged into US dollars is an attractively low +0.4. So for an investor looking to diversify a portfolio of US Treasuries, this might have been a good solution. For both sectors, the primary source of risk and return is interest-rate exposure. The diversification derives from the fact that EM interest rates are influenced by a different set of factors. In recent years EM local-currency debt has offered exposure to many countries that are not at the same point in their economic cycles as developed countries. But the correlation number doesn't tell the whole story. When weighing up the choices, investors should also ask themselves: "What's the role of this allocation in the portfolio?" For example, the US Treasury investor above might notice that even lower correlations (between zero and +0.1) are available from two other choices: hard-currency high-yield EM sovereigns and local-currency unhedged sovereigns. And both would offer more yield, albeit with higher volatility. However, one thing to note is that, in both cases, the diversification effect is not coming from exposure to EM interest-rate factors as much it is from exposure to credit and currency. The US Treasury portfolio is driven primarily by US-dollar interest-rate exposure. But both of the choices above would add something new to the mix. Hard-currency high-yield EM sovereigns would introduce subinvestment-grade securities into a portfolio of "low-risk" assets, while local-currency unhedged sovereigns would add currency exposure to a previously all-US-dollar portfolio. Either of these could be a plus or a minus, depending on the investor's specific objectives. The bottom line is that, in order to make an informed decision, it's important to understand the nature of the diversification opportunity in each EM sector and to explore how it's likely to change the behavior of the existing portfolio. Mitigating Issuer-Level Risk Not all EMD opportunities provide much diversification at the portfolio level. For example, as the display shows, US and EM high-yield corporate debt have a high historical correlation of +0.8, so adding EM high-yield to US high-yield holdings wouldn't result in much market-level diversification. But this high correlation could be attractive—for example, to credit investors who want a bigger opportunity set. For investors like these, the main attraction of adding EMD is issuer diversification—in other words, protection against issuer-specific (idiosyncratic) risk. If that's the case, they might be less concerned about correlations than they are about the number of names in the sector. EM corporates, for example, span almost 400 issuers from 43 countries (the J.P. Morgan CEMBI Broad). So for investors with portfolios of (for example) EM sovereigns or US investment-grade corporates, adding EM corporates means more opportunities to add value through stock selection and diversify with a higher number of smaller position sizes. When the goal is issuer diversification, investors should compare each EM sector with the DM sector that best matches their primary source of risk and return—interest rates, credit or currency—so as to ensure an apples-to-apples comparison. One such comparison would be the two high-yield portfolios above, because they are both primarily driven by noninvestment-grade credit risk. Another comparison would be the initial example of the US Treasuries and the local-currency US dollar–hedged sovereigns, both of which are driven by US interest rates. For an overview of how we think about the different sources of risk and return in EMD, please see my lastblog on the EMD tool kit. In my next blog I'll discuss some other considerations, including how the different EMD sectors fit onto the risk/return continuum.

At long last, The Sopranos is back, but the return is bittersweet. After several false alarms, it seems that the end of the trend-setting mobster series is finally upon us. The final season of the Emmy-winning drama begins tonight on HBO (9 pm EST).
Jeremy Piven made some new enemies recently with his less than pleasant demeanor at a Japanese Restaurant in Aspen.
The famed actor from the hit HBO series Entourage decided that after the meal, instead of tipping with cash, he would use other means.
Piven was eating at Nobu Matsushisa's restaurant when the incident occurred. A witness told The New York Daily News that "It was a very busy night, but a table, although cramped, was provided. On his way out, he made a nasty comment to the manager: 'Thanks for nothing.'"

Huskies have had more luck this season defending teams — like Oregon State — that run a prostyle offense. Washington allowed 52 points each against spread teams Oregon and Arizona.
A week after allowing 52 points to Arizona, a team that was previously winless in Pac-12 play, the Huskies host undefeated, No. 7 Oregon State.
Oddly, though, the game might be a better matchup for the Washington defense.
In the first year under new coordinator Justin Wilcox, the UW defense has generally been a bright spot, looking vastly improved.

Most Read Stories
Two notable exceptions were blowout losses to Oregon and Arizona, each of which scored 52 points against the Huskies.
Each of those teams runs a version of the no-huddle, up-tempo, spread offense. The Huskies fared better against USC and Stanford, which run more prostyle attacks, as do the Beavers, who will challenge UW at 7:15 p.m. Saturday at CenturyLink Field.
Wilcox counted 19 missed tackles against Arizona, "by far the most this season. When you do that, no matter what front or coverage you play, it's going to be hard to stop anybody."
Wilcox said missed tackles were also a significant problem against Oregon. Arizona and Oregon each run an offense that tries to create one-on-one matchups and gives quarterbacks options to run.
"We've got to execute and make the play, no matter if it's tackling, knocking a ball down, affecting the quarterback — whatever it is, we've got to finish those plays," Wilcox said. "And we didn't do a good enough job, obviously."
Huskies coach Steve Sarkisian has said he has made an effort to recruit athletic players in an attempt to defend spread teams.
Monday, he said if asked before the season what types of offense UW would defend better, he would have said offenses of the type run by Oregon and Arizona, "just because of the personnel that we have in place. But for whatever reason we haven't performed against those teams that have gone up-tempo and spread us across the field. We haven't played disciplined enough against those teams."
Washington cornerback Desmond Trufant theorized the defense plays better against prostyle teams because that's what the Huskies run, "and we see that every day in practice. … maybe that's a reason we are accustomed to those types of plays. But we've got to be ready for whatever a team runs."
And as Wilcox said, Oregon State will present plenty of matchup problems, especially with a passing attack that is third in the conference in yards per game at 310.7. Sophomore Sean Mannion will be back at quarterback for the Beavers after missing two games with a knee injury, contests in which backup Cody Vaz played well, leading OSU to wins over Brigham Young and Utah.
OSU has two of the top three receivers in the conference in terms of yards per game, Brandin Cooks (111.2) and Markus Wheaton (109). The Beavers look for opportunities to throw deep — probably more than any team UW has played.
That will put a lot of stress on a UW secondary that had its worst game against Arizona. The Wildcats threw for 256 yards on just 14 completions. That included touchdown passes of 53, 33 and 27 yards.
Wilcox said the major issue for the secondary against Arizona was "eye discipline. Maybe guys guessing to try and make a play when it's just (about) playing with good eye discipline."
Wilcox said every week is "back to the basics" at practice. But the Huskies are dipping a little deeper into that bag this week with more physical tackling drills often reserved for spring and fall camp to help solve the tackling issues.
Trufant said after Tuesday's practice he thought the drills had the desired effect.
"Coming off a loss, you just want to come out here and play and compete and get everybody's confidence where it needs to be," he said. "We just want to carry that into Saturday."
