Natalie Reed is a new member of the FtB team and she blogs about transgender and transsexual issues, and other things in her wheelhouse (like, say, Dr. Who). I try to read my fellow bloggers when I get a chance (most often at best I can only skim, and often I can't even keep up at that, but I try), and I must say Natalie Reed is one of my favorites here. She's smart, well-informed, writes very well, and has already taught me a great deal (check out her blog, Sincerely, Natalie Reed, and all its archives here, already full of gems). So I'm shocked to see John Loftus has gone off the handle and is treating her very strangely, ignoring everything she actually says and attacking her for things she didn't say, and then getting petty and childish in the process, basically accusing her of being an unqualified "diversity hire."
Which is strange. That's like accusing someone of being hired to represent Mexico of being a "diversity hire" because they were hired to represent Mexico. Huh? And wouldn't actually being Mexican qualify you to represent Mexicans? I mean, that's nearly the top qualification there. Reed is a transsexual woman. She is also superbly informed on that issue, has a tremendous body of experience many atheists don't (with issues such as drug addiction), and is a very good writer (In fact, IMO, the best in this subject). She is thus very qualified, and very much wanted and welcome here; indeed, needed here, as the transsexual and transgender community almost never has any distinct voice or representatives in atheist congregations and events. So, WTF, John?
Our own Daniel Finke has already done a superb job of explaining the situation and why Loftus is way off the rails here, and I could not top him if I tried, so I well recommend you read his post on this: On the Qualifications of our Alleged "Diversity Hire", Natalie Reed. I'll only add a repeat here of my comment there:
I fully agree with your assessment here, Daniel.
Natalie Reed is an excellent writer. Her blogs are often thorough, thoughtful, informed, and well-researched, are a delight to read, and do not waste words (some people complain they are sometimes long, but that's not padding or verbosity, it's precision and completeness). She's impressed me. And already taught me a great deal. She also does fill a vacant niche (and that is why we got her): a representative speaking for and to atheists about transsexual and gender issues. It's not like John Loftus was doing that (or that he would be qualified to even if he did). And frankly, I can't think of anyone better for the job than Natalie. And isn't the best one at it precisely who we should have here?
As for Loftus himself, he has not been comporting himself well in this case. Lately he has given ample grounds for you to conclude as you do; he's been far more off the handle than I've ever seen him. I do hope he recognizes and addresses this perception and behavior problem.
Whatever you think of John Loftus (his behavior in the comments thread to Natalie's well-thought post Target Audiences and Playing Nice is appalling, and I'm ashamed to see that), I think you should all check out Natalie's blog from time to time. Truly. We could all benefit from reading Natalie Reed.

Lift Trucks: 15 ways the lift truck is evolving
Remember that old commercial: This is not your father's Oldsmobile? The same can be said for lift trucks. If you haven't replaced your fleet of lift trucks in recent years—and, thanks to the recession, many Modern readers parked some of their fleet during 2009—you may be surprised by the technology being built into today's offerings. The developments include everything from ergonomic improvements for operator comfort to fully automated lift trucks that operate just like an automatic guided vehicle (AGV).
But, not all of the changes are as revolutionary as converting a lift truck into an AGV. "We are an evolutionary industry, not a revolutionary industry," says Jeff Bowles, product line manager, Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America (MCFA).
If you think about it, that approach makes sense. New lift trucks have to go right to work in existing applications without disrupting operations. What's more, the basic lift truck remains the backbone of most warehouses, DCs and manufacturing plants. Those evolutionary changes are resulting in trucks that are more productive, smarter and reliable than ever before.
Modern recently spoke to 10 of the leading lift truck manufacturers in North America to learn about the 15 most important advancements found on the next generation of lift trucks. Here's what we learned.
1. Automating lift trucks. Automation is coming to lift trucks as Crown, MCFA, Toyota, Nissan and Raymond ready lift trucks that can operate as automatic guided vehicles. Raymond, for instance, has plans to introduce an automated lift truck incorporating a camera-based navigation system from Seegrid in early 2012. The justification for automation is simple: Labor is expensive. "If you look at the five-year economic life of a lift truck, labor represents 70% to 75% of the total investment," says Frank Devlin, manager of advanced technologies at Raymond. "If you can maximize your labor force, there is a tremendous need for this."
2. Bringing RFID to lift trucks. In addition to automated lift trucks, manufacturers are exploring semi-automated solutions. Through its relationship with Jungheinrich, MCFA is bringing RFID- and transponder-based technologies from Europe to very narrow aisle lift trucks in the North American market. One solution relies on a warehouse navigation system that knows where the truck is located based on encoders and transponders in the floor and RFID tags at the pick and pallet locations. Once order picks are loaded into the system, the truck calculates the most efficient way to pick the orders; it will also calculate the lift and drive speeds that are most productive for the process.
MCFA is also installing transponders and sensors on the truck for safer operations. On man-up trucks, for instance, the system will monitor what's in front of the truck at the ground level. "It'll slow the truck until the obstruction is moved when the operator has limited visibility," says Bowles.
3. Remote-controlled trucks. Crown is also developing semi-automated solutions that serve the gap between conventional lift trucks and AGVs: a remote-controlled vehicle for case picking. An order selector can drive the truck into a pick zone; while picking, the operator moves the truck from one pick location to the next using a remote control device. That saves the time usually spent getting on and off the truck between picks. "We are trying to bring functionality to the truck that adds value," says Tim Quellhorst, senior vice president of Crown. "This is a good example of a solution that can drive labor productivity in the less than full automation area of operation."
4. Lift truck, phone home. Lift trucks are getting smarter, thanks to telematics—an industry term for the convergence of telecommunications and data collection technologies such as sensors and RFID technology. Telematics allow the lift truck to collect data about the operation of the truck and the performance of the operator and then communicate that information to a system of record. The onboard computer on a Raymond lift truck, for instance, has the ability to send fault codes and the serial number of a truck by e-mail to a technician's smart phone or computer. "That allows a technician to diagnose a truck and bring the tools, parts and components they need for the job," says Devlin.
5. Integrating the lift truck with the WMS. Most of the information being collected by telematics systems today is being used to support maintenance and fleet management initiatives. The next step, says Jonathan Dawley, vice president of marketing for NACCO Materials Handling Group (NMHG), parent company of Hyster and Yale, is to integrate telematics with a warehouse management system (WMS). That integration would allow lift truck data to become part of the workflow of a facility. "Using data from the lift truck to improve the productivity of labor could be more important than running your lift truck 1 mph faster," Dawley says.
6. The ergonomic lift truck. Ergonomics and worker comfort have long been a priority in Europe, where distributors and manufacturers have a longer term relationship with their employees. That thinking is beginning to permeate U.S. enterprises, especially those with a global footprint. That, in turn, is driving the demand for more European style trucks here in the United States. "We see some of our U.S. and Canadian customers creating a different type of environment for their employees in the warehouse," says NMHG's Dawley. "They want a smarter, more productive operator, not a stronger operator." He believes the attention to ergonomics not only improves productivity, it helps retain skilled employees.
7. Fingertip controls. Multi-functional controls that can be controlled by an operator's fingertips are one example of improved ergonomics. With one control, an operator can work the lift of the forks, the tilt angle and the side shifter. "Fingertip controls were introduced in Europe," says Steve Cianci, director of marketing and product management for Nissan Forklift Corporation of North America. "While they're not popular yet in the United States, we're seeing increased interest because they provide a more ergonomic experience for the operator."

The sugar, salt, beef, pork, egg (also here and here) poultry, fish, juice (also here and here) and dairy industries have been accused of downplaying the risks of their products. Some of this may because of the "funding effect," which describes the skewing of results favorable to research funders. Agribusiness and the US Department of Agriculture have been accommodating to corporate influence, perhaps even to the extent of purposefully ignoring scientific evidence. Unlike countries that rely on health rather than agriculture professionals to create their dietary guidelines, the USDA has an inherent conflict of interest to promote agricultural products that may have unduly influenced the U.S. guidelines over the past 30 years. Legislation supporting nutrition education has come under attack from—of all quarters—the medical profession. The balance of evidence suggests that a plant based diet is healthiest, but this advice is often met with and overcome by the "tomato effect" and other resistance from medical groups.

Gursky's Print Goes for $4.5 Million, Observers Say: Huh?
A print of Andreas Gursky's "Rhein II" sold for $4.33 million last week, making it the most expensive photo ever sold at auction. This might be considered good news for the fine-art photography market, but most of the press about the sale has ranged from puzzlement to downright mockery.
Some of the criticism is of the predictable, my-4-year-old-could-do-that type of scoffing, but some seems to be genuinely wrestling with just how stark and plain this digitally retouched image looks, at least online. We can't remember anyone writing this way about Gursky's previous record setter, the diptych "99 Cent Store," or about the Cindy Sherman self portrait that is now the second most expensive photo ever sold.
Here are some sample comments about Gursky's "Rhein II":
"It's nice. Is it $4.33 million nice? We don't get art sometimes. Okay, all the time."
–Dan Amira, New York magazine
"…While it is hard to argue that he [Gursky] has achieved his aim – it is even harder to see why someone would pay a substantial sum of money to own the piece.
But the digitally altered – and some might say visually uninteresting – 'Rhine II' has become the most expensive photograph ever sold at auction."
–Charles Walford, The Daily Mail
"It's not worth a penny over $4.2 million if you ask me, but at least one collector disagrees."
–Amy Rolph, Seattle Post Intelligencer
"This mediocre pic is the most expensive photo in the world, worth $4.3 million dollars. Behold! It's some…grass…and we're pretty sure that's a– lake? Right? Maybe?"
-Jo Pincushion on ESPN1420.com (a sports radio station's Web site. Zheesh, everyone's a critic.)
One dissenting voice is that of Florence Walters. Writing in the Telegraph, she says, "This image is a vibrant, beautiful and memorable – I should say unforgettable – contemporary twist on Germany's famed genre and favorite theme: the romantic landscape, and man's relationship with nature." She also notes, "For all its apparent simplicity, the photograph is a statement of dedication to its craft."
For those who would like to judge for themselves, other prints from the same edition are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, Munich's Pinakothek der Modern, and the Glenstone Collection in Potomac, Maryland.

As I was finalizing our films for this year's Black History Month celebration, Double Exposure: African-American Music on Film, I got an email from Mick Csaky, the producer and director of a new film documentary about legendary gospel start Sister Rosetta Tharpe that was broadcast on BBC television in January. But Mick wasn't checking to see if we could screen the film---he didn't even know we were doing a film series. He was writing to make his case that Sister Rosetta should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His film, The Godmother of Rock & Roll: Sister Rosetta Tharpe is a powerful summary of her career, featuring blistering live performances where she displays her guitar prowess and mastery of the stage. He graciously gave us permission to screen the film, which we did this week to kick off our film series.
Gayle Wald, author of a fantastic biography of Sister Rosetta, Shout, Sister, Shout! The Untold Story of Rock-and-Roll Trailblazer Sister Rosetta Tharpe, joined us for the evening. Gayle is chair of the Department of English at George Washington University, where she teaches courses on African American literature, popular music, and U.S. culture. We had a great conversation about Sister Rosetta's significance and the importance of the film. During the Q&A with the audience, a woman told a great story about going to see Sister perform when she was a young girl and what a great memory it was for her. You can see clips from the interview here.
Read the book, see the film, and listen to as much Sister Rosetta Tharpe music as you can! She will be featured in our upcoming exhibit, Women Who Rock.

Midnight Regs Sans Science Threaten Nation
A new report by the Center for American Progress blasts a slew
of Bush Administration "midnight regulations" that would weaken
government rules on public health, labor, and the environment.
The report calls the proposals a "backwards sprint to the finish." About 136 rule changes are under consideration at the Office of Management and Budget's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) as of the end of October, many of which may undermine science-based environmental regulations at the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of the
Interior. Proposed midnight rule changes are also being tracked
by OMB Watch, ProPublica, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA)office, and the Congressional Research Service.
According to the CRS report, 21 of the rule changes under review
at OIRA concern EPA regulations. For instance, a final rule sent
to OMB on October 24 would exempt large industrial animal livestock operations from hazardous waste reporting requirements under the Clean Air Act. OMB approved the regulation despite EPA's failure to complete a study of the health effects of such emissions. According to the Government Accountability Office, the partially-completed study is funded largely by the livestock industry and is unlikely to provide "scientific and
statistically valid data."
Other rule changes at the EPA, Interior, and National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration would exempt livestock operations
from Clean Water Act reporting, allow regional councils
dominated by fishing interests to review the environmental
impacts of fisheries management decisions, and allow federal
agencies to discount the effects of global warming when
considering the impacts of federal decisions on endangered
GAO: Conflicts Hinder DOE Nuclear Oversight
Conflicts of interest are interfering with the Department of
Energy's oversight of its own nuclear energy facilities and are
increasing the likelihood of nuclear accidents, a new report by
the Government Accountability Office charged. The report
also claimed that the DOE's increased emphasis on production has created dangerous conditions at a number of the department's highly hazardous nuclear operations. A separate report in October of last year found weak oversight at DOE weapons facilities led to repeated accidents and violations of nuclear safety requirements.
In 2006 Congress created the Office of Health, Safety and
Security (HSS) as an independent oversight office within DOE,
and charged this office with appraising the environment, safety,
and health programs at DOE sites. But the DOE then turned this
office over to officials responsible for nuclear energy and
weapons development at DOE. The report found that HSS-the only
independent office capable of overseeing DOE nuclear
facilities-does not have accurate information about the number
of nuclear facilities it is supposed to oversee or knowledge of
safety systems at these facilities. "DOE self-regulation ...
creates a potential conflict of interest between meeting the
mission objectives of the department while at the same time
ensuring the proper independent emphasis on safety," the report
Research Center, Psychiatrist Tied to Pharma
Internal email messages and documents obtained from Johnson &
Johnson revealed that Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Biederman
pushed the company to finance a research center at Massachusetts
General Hospital in Boston whose goal would be to "move forward
the commercial goals of J.& J." The documents also showed the
company gave the center $700,000 in 2002 alone, stories in the
New York Times
and Wall Street Journal revealed last week. The court documents were released to the
press by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), ranking member of the
Senate Finance committee.
Biederman reported no income from J&J for 2001 in a disclosure
report filed with Harvard University. When asked to check again,
he said he received $3,500. But J&J told Grassley that it paid
Biederman $58,169 in 2001. The court documents also revealed
that one executive at J&J referred to Biederman as "not someone
to jerk around," and someone who "has a very short fuse." John
Bruins, a marketing executive at J&J, reportedly begged his
superiors to approve a $3,000 check to Biederman in payment for
a lecture he gave at the University of Connecticut.
According to the New York Times article, thousands of parents have sued AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly and J&J, claiming that their children were injured after taking antipsychotic medicines made by the firms and promoted by Biederman, who on Nov. 17 was
ordered to give testimony in the case.
Odds and Ends
A footnote in the Supreme Court decision that reduced the
punitive damages awarded in the Exxon-Valdex Alaska oil spill raises questions over the use of corporate-funded science in court decisions, the New York Times reported last week. ... James McCarthy, a Harvard oceanographer
and the president of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, last week criticized the Bush
administration for giving political appointees permanent federal
jobs with responsibility for making or administering scientific
policies, the Washington Post reported. ... Alberta's Liberal Party leader Kevin Taft asked the
province's new ethics commissioner Neil Wilkinson to investigate the Alberta Health Services Board's conflict of interest policies, raising "serious concerns that appointments to the new (board) have been made without proper consideration of conflicts of interest," according to the Edmonton Journal.
"It is not clear to us whether these problems have arisen
because (a) conflict of interest policy is lacking for the
Alberta Health Services, or because policies were simply ignored
or overruled, " Taft is quoted as saying. ... The Environmental Protection Agency has put a freeze on the construction of new coal-fired power plants that lack controls on carbon dioxide emissions, following a Sierra Club appeal of a permit issued last year for a proposed coal-fired power plant in Utah. The EPA's Environmental Appeals Board ruled that in keeping with the Supreme Court's April 2007 decision and the urgings of its own scientists, the agency could not refuse to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
Cheers and Jeers

I have tried a few times locate the origin of the "Limp Dick," "Limp Sausage"...(whatelse has it been called) the chopper tail lamp...
The Sparto was made in England... for what make or model? Was it ever a stock piece of equipment? I always figured '50s or maybe earlier.
And what about the lens...glass or plastic....flat cup or domed...with a metal door or collar? Did it require the use of a gasket on the fender?
Has anyone researched this at any time?
I have seen pages of an early Superior catalog with references to replacement lens, I think.
I have asked a few folks but never learned anything substantive.
Hurtn, for sure

- 1 package (3 ounces) orange gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup (8 ounces) vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 plastic cups or Popsicle molds (3 ounces each)
- 10 Popsicle sticks
- In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Cool to room temperature. Stir in the yogurt, milk and vanilla. Pour 1/4 cup into each cup or mold; insert Popsicle sticks. Freeze until firm. Yield: 10 ice pops.
Reviews for Orange Cream Pops
"I read the other reviews prior to making this recipe, but mine did not turn out. The pops didn't firm up enough after being frozen for 7 hours, so when I pulled the pop out of the mold, the stick came out and the pop was left behind. The texture of the pop was very soft and not really popsicle-like. I like the taste of the mixture used for the pops, but next time, I will pour this into a large bowl and freeze and then just scoop it out with an ice cream scoop. It had a the texture of a softened sherbert. I'm not sure if I did anything wrong or if this is the way it's supposed to be, but I was disappointed in the "popsicle" part of this recipe."
"very easy and good. I like the orange but other flavors might be good too."
"Very good and easy! Anxious to try different flavors."
"Easy to make with ingredients on hand. Tasty too."
"I like to snack on cold things in the hot, hot summer. This fit the bill."

Below are the Sun Devil Student-Athletes of the Semester and the runner-ups who displayed balance and are recognized for their admirable work ethic in the classroom as well as with their respective sports:
Male Student-Athletes of the Fall Semester:
Demetrius Cherry
Demetrius had a great fall semester, not only is he a Scholar Baller, but he held himself accountable to every aspect of his academic life as a Sun Devil. He said that his motivation to succeed academically is because of the challenges he had in the past which have inspired him to "get better, improve and become a better student". Not only did Demetrius have an academically successful fall, he has a very positive attitude – he set goals for himself, listened to advice, kept all his academic appointments and did everything he could to learn and grow as a student! "The biggest motivation I have is to make my parents proud of me." That he did!
What advice would you share with the Sun Devil family to inspire others to commit to upholding competing with passion and character in their own lives?
"Give everything your all, stay focused on what you want to do because there are a lot of distractions, and always try to be the best."
Sai Tummala
Men's Basketball
Sai Tummala is a member of the ASU Men's Basketball team here at ASU and is a BioScience major. He is a dedicated student-athlete who competes with passion and character, not only in his sport, but in the classroom as well. Sai has finished up his first semester as a junior at ASU with a solid 4.00 cumulative GPA. Sai is a member of Barrett The Honors College and worked incredibly hard this semester to maintain his academics while in season with basketball. "What motivates my commitment to academics the most is that I don't see schooling as something that is just another task to complete, but rather as a lifelong investment in myself. I think that both athletics and school are intertwined and the same characteristics that define a good athlete can also be used to talk about good students."
What advice would Sai share with the Sun Devil family to inspire others to commit to upholding these values in their own lives?
"I think that excellence is something that everybody should pursue in all aspects of their life. Whether it's on the court or in the classroom, I believe that if you give everything you have that at the end of the day you will be happy with the results. There are definitely times when this is a challenge, but perseverance and diligence always prevails."
Runners Up:
Traveyon Armstrong
Men's Track & Field
Trae's semester couldn't have gone much better, and I think he even quite possibly exceeded his own expectations. Trae knew that this year would be an important one for him in the classroom and on the track as he was no longer "just a freshman" and his academic coach could tell from day one of the fall semester that he wouldn't accept anything less than 100% from himself. He finished his fall with a semester GPA of 3.46. Traveyon has showed relentless pursuit of academic success this fall and knows that the pressure is on him to keep up the momentum in the spring, but Trae likes and accepts the pressure that comes along with success and he is ready for the next challenge, not only to improve even more in the classroom but also to bring out his inner Usain Bolt on the track! Congratulations Trae!
Max Rottluff
Men's Golf
Max joins the Sun Devils from Germany and has been an exceptional student and athlete since stepping foot on campus. Currently a sophomore, Max has been a contributor to his team since his freshman year. Max finished the past Fall Semester with a 3.72 GPA, bringing his CUM GPA to a 3.49. Max encountered some obstacles this fall through an injury, however he has not let this phase him and his pursuit to excel. " I see myself as a leader and champion in everything I do. That's why I set high goals for myself and work even harder to achieve them. When I realized I would be out for the fall because of the wrist injury, I set higher academic goals in order to get better in something this semester. It is the reason I am a Sun Devil!"
What advice would Sai share with the Sun Devil family to inspire others to commit to upholding these values in their own lives?
"No matter what throwback you experience, there is always a way to get better at something! It is the positive attitude and commitment to work on every possible aspect in your sport/school/life that enables you to succeed."
Nick Rex
Nick joined the Sun Devils this Fall semester after completing his undergraduate degree at Campbell University. It was a tough decision for Nick to make as he faced some resistance and doubt in his ability to be successful in graduate school. With one year of eligibility remaining, Nick decided to come to Arizona State to pursue his Master's degree while wrestling. Nick finds a lot of motivation through his previous experiences as a student, "the thing that drives me to excel academically is my failures in the past. I was never a good student. I actually had a 1.7 my first semester and almost got kicked out of school. I have never even made above a 3.0 until graduate school." This he did, as Nick earned a perfect 4.0 GPA his first semester of graduate school!
What advice would Nick share with the Sun Devil family to inspire others to commit to upholding excellence in their own lives?
"The advice I would have to give is to not let anyone put doubt in your heart. If you know that something is right in your heart then go for it and take a risk because it will haunt you for the rest of your life if you don't."
Vivii Teofilo
Vi Teoflio entered Arizona State University 3 years ago from Moon Valley High School in Arizona. Vi struggled to effectively transition into the high intensity student-athlete experience. This was not due to lack of ability or intellect, but to a lack of commitment to giving his best. Over the past two semesters we have seen a transformation in Vi. He has taken ownership for his academic success and achieved his highest GPA this fall, well over 3.00. It is of no coincidence that Vi has also greatly elevated his play on the field and is emerging as a leader on the offensive line.
Female Student-Athletes of the Fall Semester:
Lucy Lara
Women's Soccer
Lucy's goal was to be a scholar-baller this semester…and that she did! Lucy finished this fall with a semester GPA of 3.83! She is very proud of her accomplishments as we all are in the Office of Student-Athlete Development. She has showed strong maturity and taken responsibility of her academic work and she has been putting in countless hours to achieve academic success that she expects from herself, and I have even joked with her that she should just pitch a tent on our 2nd floor because she practically lived here at times. What motivates Lucy is her family and friends. "When you see successful people all around you, it makes you want to be the same way. There are expectations on all of us as Sun Devil Student-Athletes and I want to make sure I am holding up my end of the bargain in everything that I do to represent the university the right way!" On the field Lucy has had to endure her fair share of injuries but it has not stopped her from competing and giving it her all on the pitch. Through persistence and perseverance, she continues to achieve success.
What advice would Lucy share with the Sun Devil family to uphold these same values?
"Anything is possible if you put your mind to it."
Alexis Cooper
Women's Softball
Alexis is currently on a sophomore on the women's softball team. Coming into her second year, Alexis had a perfect 4.0 GPA! Alexis had to overcome some tough obstacles this semester that required her to be away from school for over two weeks. Despite the challenges, Alexis was determined to succeed in the classroom. Alexis finished the semester with a 3.96 GPA. "I have always strived to do my best whether it is in the classroom or on the field. There is no feeling like seeing hard work pay off once you reach a goal. That feeling is what motivates me to be committed to excellence and staying relentless in my pursuits."
What advice would Alexis share with the Sun Devil family to uphold these same values?
"The first piece of advice I would give is to establish goals for yourself. In order to accomplish great things, you must first know where you are going. The second piece of advice I have is to be persistent. You may encounter difficulties along the way but pushing through them is key to succeeding."
Runners Up:
Carissa Kraus
Women's Gymnastics
Carissa joined the Gym Devils in the Fall 2012 semester, from Maple Grove, Minnesota. During her first season Carissa competed in every meet for the Sun Devils on both the bars and vault.
Carissa is a Marketing major in the W.P. Carey School of Business. Carissa had an outstanding Fall semester! "What motivates me to being relentless in my academics and being able to achieve my academic goals is aiming to be the best scholar athlete I can be both in and outside of the gym. Being relentless means to never give up and always continue to give 110% at what I do. My goals are to be a scholar athlete every year and to be a role model for my teammates and everyone around me. I was given such an amazing opportunity here at Arizona State University. What got me here was all the support from the coaches, my teammates, and my family, and my hard work and determination, and I will because of that I will never stop giving it my all and working to achieve my goals."
What advice would Carissa share with the Sun Devil family to inspire others to commit to being relentless in their own lives?
"Some advice that I would give to the sun devil family about being relentless in their own lives is to just never give up on what you want and to always work your hardest to achieve your goals because you can be anything you want to be in life, you just need to get out there and make it happen!"
Monica Vaughn
Women's Golf
Monica is currently a freshman on the women's golf team and she had a terrific start to her career at ASU. Monica immediately became a contributor to the golf team. At the same time, Monica did not let the challenges of traveling during her first semester of college prevent her from being successful in the classroom. She earned a 3.69 GPA for her very first semester! As Monica describes, "I take school very seriously and I was worried that once I got to college it would be extremely hard. I kept that mindset throughout the semester and worked very hard not just to get good grades but to gain knowledge. I studied a lot and kept in close touch with all of my professors to keep up with my school work and paid close attention to any suggestions they had."
What advice would Monica share with the Sun Devil family to inspire others to commit to upholding excellence in their own lives?
"I would tell others that they are here first for an education. There is so much time left in our lives to do other things, but for right now, for the next four years, we are here to get a great education, so think of that as your main priority. As long as you have a good, healthy balance between your academic and social life you won' need to worry about your grades or how your doing in school because you will be doing just fine."
WBB Freshman Class
Starting their ASU careers this past fall, the three Women's Basketball freshmen, Sophie Brunner, Kelsey Moos, and Quinn Dornstauder, demonstrated The Sun Devil Way throughout the semester. Contributing on the court, excelling in the classroom, participating in community service, and more, they have shown the ability to be relentless, to be a family, and to be Sun Devils. Congratulations to the Women's Basketball Freshman class for excelling during your first semester!
Shaina Corbin
Women's Track & Field
Shaina Corbin consistently gets the job done in the classroom. She took initiative this fall semester to stretch her boundaries in pursuing internships and develop her skills in career-related areas all while training, competing, and maintaining her academics and athletics. Shaina quietly models The Sun Devil Athletics Way in all that she does.
Caitlyn Francis
Women' Volleyball
A senior from Roseville, California, Caitlyn Francis just finished an amazing volleyball career at Arizona State. Caitlyn is an outstanding student-athlete. Double majoring in Psychology and Family and Human Development, Caitlyn excels in the classroom and has a cumulative GPA of 4.00. In the Spring of 2012, Caitlyn was awarded the Phil Mickelson Award for Excellence in Psychology from the ASU Psychology Department. Also a member of the prestigious Barrett Honors College, Caitlyn will graduate in the Spring of 2014 upon completion of her honors thesis. Caitlyn is passionate about Psychology and has participated in several research projects on campus, despite her busy schedule with school, practice and traveling for competition. "I want to get the most out of my education as I can. I love learning and my parents have instilled in me a drive to try my hardest in all that I do. I am very motivated to go to graduate school in Psychology, so I wanted to prove myself in the classroom and prepare the best I can for rigorous graduate school classes. I have appreciated the challenge of the Barrett Honors College and competing in such a high level of volleyball."
What advice would Caitlyn share with the Sun Devil family to inspire others to commit to upholding the commitment to compete with passion and character in their own lives?
"I would encourage student- athletes to dedicate themselves as much to their careers and life as they did to their sports. The passion, perseverance, and work ethic can transfer to all aspects of their lives because it has become part of their character. Participating in high-level athletics has helped me to develop a competitive nature that pushes me to become my best self. I appreciate that and I am excited to see how that transfers into my life after ASU."
Jaclyn Chavez
Women's Swimming
When Jaclyn came to ASU as a freshman in the Fall of 2010 from Fullerton, California, she struggled to maintain the balance between student and athlete. What a difference four years makes! In her junior year, Jaclyn decided that she was going to do a better job in the classroom. She learned the art of time management and became better organized with her studies. Jaclyn also put in extra time in study hall working on assignments, studying for tests and writing papers. In the Fall 2013 semester, Jaclyn had her highest GPA ever as a student at ASU and finished with a 3.33. Her commitment to do better in school definitely paid off. Jaclyn will graduate in the Spring of 2014 with a degree in Sociology.

Project fail-safe
Sugar Land's wireless "backbone." Existing water towers and buildings were used for all but one of the High Sites that make up the 11 GHz backbone. Fiber optic links connect the wireless backbone to the city's existing local area network. The backbone forms a ring so that if a link is "broken," the data can flow the other direction. Images: Civitium Inc.
Traffic signals are the yellow diamonds. Green indicates the water towers and other locations where an 11-GHz Motorola Solutions radio is installed. The red line indicates the path of the microwave point-to-point system.
By Rick Staigle
Who: Sugar Land (Texas) Public WorksWhat: Technology introductions and upgradesCost: $9 million over roughly a decadeFunding sources: Federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grantsEngineering consultant: Traffic Engineers Inc., HoustonSubconsultant: Civitium LLC, Alpharetta, Ga.General contractor: TransCore, Houston
Five years ago Sugar Land, Texas, received an American Public Works Association Transportation Project of the Year award for taking a monumental technological and intergovernmental leap in less than a decade. Conceived to support development by minimizing congestion in the booming community, the city's traffic management system has spawned a multi-agency, multicity effort.
In 1990, Sugar Land had 30,000 residents. By 2000, fueled by a steadily falling tax rate, restaurants, retailers, and companies like Bechtel Equipment Operations and MECO Inc. moved in and their people followed. Population was up 158%, and would grow another 33% by 2010.
In Texas, communities with more than 50,000 residents must contract with the state DOT to operate and maintain state-owned traffic lights. In 1998, with the all-important population threshold closing in, the city council gave public works the OK to develop a traffic management system that would benefit surrounding communities as well as Sugar Land. At the time, Sugar Land owned and operated only one of the 65 signals in the city. An acceptable level of service was defined by whether or not it was working normally or flashing red.
Starting from virtually nothing — no equipment and almost no relationship with potential partners like the state DOT or the Houston-Galveston Area Council — public works developed a traffic management center (TMC). Eight employees work on projects that range from a three-tier wireless network to ensure police and fire communicate during emergencies to collaborating with the state and neighboring Missouri City to add fiber optic capability to the system.
By stressing that less idling would lower emissions levels, public works received a $1.4 million Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grant through the local council of governments. That was enough to buy Naztec Inc. signal cabinet controllers and ATMS.now (ATMS is an acronym for Advanced Traffic Management Systems) software.
Working from the public works building on Gillingham Lane, traffic engineers monitor 11 signal subsystems with 10 broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) lines leased from the local phone company at $100/month for each connection. These subsystems communicate with individual traffic signals via twisted pair copper communications cable, spread spectrum radios, or fiber optic cable, but Assistant Public Works Director David Worley says the plan is to phase out ISDN entirely.
Traffic engineers installed a Cohu Inc. Electronics Division CCTV camera and Microwave Data Systems spread-spectrum radio antenna at 14 key intersections. Simtraffic Synchro 7 TrafficWare models signal timing based on vehicle counts collected by a controller in the signal cabinet, and Naztec's software downloads revised timing plans back to the controller.
They also developed an online "congestion index interactive map" based on travel time averages using the system's loop detection and vivid systems to count vehicles in addition to detecting their presence. They wanted to make the map available to residents on the city's Web site, but this didn't happen.
"Live traffic feeds are a nightmare," says Worley, who was hired in 2008. "It bogs the system down and is difficult to manage."
Almost no sooner was the system up and running, however, than the local council of governments approved their $1.9 million grant request to upgrade the system to a wireless network.
Signals that weren't on the system are being brought on board and more CCTV cameras deployed so engineers can watch traffic flow and modify timing plans based on congestion, traffic patterns, or incidents. The ability to instantaneously adjust flows maximizes current road capacity, freeing resources for other public works projects by reducing the number of required widening projects.
A wireless backbone (see image on this page) was designed using eight high sites on water towers, buildings, and one new self-supporting tower. The 11-GHz microwave point-to-point Motorola Solutions radios will tie to the city's existing fiber network at City Hall and Fire Station #2. A ninth high site has been added to the plan to serve an area that was annexed in 2009.
The high sites will communicate with all of the city's traffic signals via 4.9-GHz Motorola Solutions point-to-multipoint radios. Half the intersections also will be equipped with IP-addressable Axis Communication's CCTV cameras with H.264 video encryption and 2.4-GHz Motorola Solutions Wireless Access Points (WAP) so technicians can log into the network from the field, reducing aircard expenses. The remaining intersections will have some combination of signal controller communication and, possibly, CCTV cameras.
If additional bandwidth is needed before the fiber optic system's completed, more point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radios can be added to the network.
Nine older signal controllers and cabinets are being replaced with TS2 Ethernet controllers and the faceplates on 35 TS2 signal controllers are being replaced to make them Ethernet controllers. This will allow the controllers to more efficiently interface with the switch and, ultimately, the 4.9-GHz radio. Half the cabinets had switches and the rest will get Cisco Systems Inc. switches.
One intersection exceeded the distance limitations for the Ethernet cable and will use multimode fiber for communication between the CCTV cameras and the switch, and from the switch to the 4.9-GHz radio. Two locations where cameras were located away from an intersection will connect the cameras directly to the radio to communicate directly to the high site, bypassing the signal controller cabinet.
In the meantime, the team has been overseeing projects that facilitate traffic flow in other ways.
Sugar Land built the state's first triple-left-turn lane, from U.S. 59 to State Highway 6, which passes major retail and restaurant centers on its way to a regional airport. A dynamic message sign and LED lights installed in the pavement guide drivers more efficiently through the intersection.
About 40 trains pass through Sugar Land every day. Quiet zones and wayside horns were installed for the rail line along the US 90A corridor in 2009; and two timing operations — one for trains that cross intersections within two minutes, the other for trains that take longer — were developed to quickly transition back to normal traffic signal coordination.
Other intelligent transportation projects include:
As the latter project suggests, Sugar Land and its neighbors are working toward being able to offer residents and visitors multimodal transportation options. Though a long-term goal, partnerships the city's forged over the last two decades are facilitating the coordination of related efforts in the region. For example:
By leveraging existing and future equipment, the cities, county, and state will improve quality of life by reducing travel time and delay.

Reigning Ivy Champ Men's Swim/Dive Hosts Undefeated Showdown In HYP Weekend
If you want to find three swimming & diving teams that feel good about themselves right now (and for good reason), Denunzio Pool will be the place to be. A trio of undefeated programs will meet up in Princeton Saturday evening and Super Sunday afternoon for the annual H-Y-P showdown.
Princeton is the four-time defending Ivy League champion and comes into the weekend with a 5-0 record. Harvard is 6-0 and is coming off a victory over the 20th-ranked Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, and Yale is 7-0, which already eclipses its win total from all of last season.
Both sessions of the meet (Saturday at 6 pm and Sunday at noon) will be streamed live on GoPrincetonTigers.TV, and there will be live results throughout the weekend. You can access both through the links at the top of the story.
You can also download the Meet Mobile App here. There is a $1.99 fee to follow each meet, though you will not be charged for both sessions within the same meet.
While the league championship can come down to the deepest squad, some of the top individual swimmers will make an early statement this weekend in what is arguably the biggest regular season meet in the Ivy League.
Several of the top sprinters in the Ivies come from either Princeton or Harvard, including Tiger sophomore Harrison Wagner, who has the Ivy's best time in the 50 free (20.04), and freshman Jeremy Wong, who has the league's best time in the 100 (44.16). Harvard sophomore Griffin Schumacher has top-five times in both the 50 and the 100, while junior teammate Chris Satterthwaite has top-five times in the 50, 100 and 200.
Among the top distance swimmers are Harvard's Mike Gaudiani, who has the fastest time in the 1000 (9:20.45), and Princeton's Paul Nolle, who won the 500, 1000 and mile at the 2012 Ivy League Championships.
Princeton freshman En-wei Hu-Van Wright has the Ivy League's best time in both the 100 back (48.20) and the 200 back (1:45.52), while both sophomore Michael Strand and senior Kaspar Raigla are top contenders in the 100. Harvard freshman Christian Yeager ranks third in the 200 back (1:48.34).
Harvard sophomore Chuck Katis has already achieved 'A' cuts in both the 100 and 200 breast, but a trio of Tiger freshmen will be looking to challenge in both events. Byron Sanborn has top-five Ivy times in both events, while both Teo D'Alessandro and Jack Pohlmann have broken 56 seconds in the 100.
Princeton will have several top contenders in the fly, including Raigla and freshman Marco Bove. Yale sophomore Alwin Firmansyah has a 'B' cut in the 200 fly. Katis and Hu-Van Wright both have top-three times in the 200 IM.
Senior diver Stevie Vines will be making his final appearance at Denunzio Pool this weekend; he has played a key role in the last three Ivy League championships, including his 2011 honor as the Ivy League Championships Diver of the Meet.

Reviews for Spinach Swiss Quiche
"Very Good, with the red and green the dish it was great for Christmas. Next time I will pre-bake the pastry according to their package directions or make a crust; mine puffed up and shrank. The bell pepper makes this dish. Oh, and I added more bacon."
"was delicious. worth the time for prep."
"This is a great recipe, though I made it with all real things, just the way they were put on this earth. It's the fat in dairy that helps your body stay slim and it's the YOLKS in eggs that have all the Omega-3s. Trying to strip off parts of real food isn't a good policy, in my opinion. Portion control, regular exercise and a positive attitude are the recipe for success! That said, this recipe is loaded with good stuff and tastes delicious. Thank you for sharing."
"Fantastic! I added a few extra veggies from the frig and it turned out great. I too had extra filling so I made an extra and stuck in in the freezer for later."

I chose to come to Cardiff University because it is a prestigious university which is well-known in China. Two of my friends from China recommended the Bridge programme at Cardiff to me. They said it helped them to improve their academic English, instead of just teaching them how to get a better test score. I want to speak better English for when I start my MBA, so this course is good for me.
The teachers are friendly and very good at explaining. On the course we are encouraged to speak our opinions on different subjects and to listen to other people who have different ideas. I find this very interesting. Because teaching in British universities is different to teaching in China, I will be more prepared for this style of learning when I start my postgraduate programme.
Cardiff is a very green city with lots of parks. I like to go jogging in Bute Park and see the ducks on the river. There is a lot of open space and traditional buildings, so it's a beautiful city to live in. There is plenty of fresh air and blue sky when the sun is shining.
There are Chinese supermarkets and restaurants in Cardiff, so I can buy ingredients to make the meals I like. Sometimes we go to a restaurant to have spicy Sichuan food like we would at home.
I would recommend the Bridge Programme at Cardiff University for anyone who wants to improve their English for studying at university. It teaches you more than how to get the IELTS score you need.

In the early 1990s, Meryl Comer and Harvey Gralnick lived the life of Washington, D.C., glitterati. Comer anchored the television show It's Your Business, a nationally syndicated debate program. Gralnick, a doctor, headed hematology and oncology research at the National Institutes of Health. But suddenly Gralnick started losing track of papers and getting lost on his five-minute drive to work; he grew very self-involved and aggressive.
Comer, now in her sixties, wondered if the stress of the couple's latest -project—remodeling their 1930s home—was getting to her husband. "You always hear renovations are grounds for divorce," she says. "But he became truly impossible. I really thought, I am going to leave this man." Then one evening, Gralnick surprised Comer by holding up a check and asking her where he was supposed to sign it. Later, she accompanied him to an event where he was scheduled to give a speech to 400 doctors. As she watched from the audience, he lost his place midway and could not recover to continue. "Everyone laughed," Comer recalls. "I felt like screaming, 'Doctors, can't you see this man is ill!' " The session was abruptly canceled. Not long after, Gralnick flew to a research conference in London, decided he was in Canada and somehow made his way to Paris. Comer called friends in Paris to reroute him back to the United States. At the airport, she talked her way through customs and literally recaptured her husband.
Two years after starting to exhibit symptoms, Gralnick, then age 57, was finally diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Comer was 50. "No facility wanted us because the medicines made him wild," she says. "People think Medicare pays, but it doesn't. Both of us were out of work at the peak of our careers. We were drawing down whatever portfolio we had; we didn't have long-term-care insurance." Comer started pulling daily 12-hour shifts as a home health care aide. Her husband needed round-the-clock care, so she also had to hire people to cover the other shifts.
Comer had given up her TV show; next, she turned her reporting skills to gathering information about Alzheimer's and became outraged by how the illness was covered in the media, its devastation glossed over. "Learn a language or go dancing to improve your brain!" she chants in a singsong voice. "There are no longitudinal studies that show anything like that prevents Alzheimer's!" Now she had a mission. For medical journals, she wrote about the human toll of the disease. She allowed PBS NewsHourto come to her home to capture on film what it's like to care for someone with Alzheimer's. She testified before Congress in a plea for increased research funding. Members of Congress immediately asked Comer to join a task force charged with setting national priorities for the disease; in 2009 the group issued a strategic plan. "There are no Alzheimer's poster children," she says. "There are no cute babies with the disease. And the boomer generation is in denial—it's the perfect storm."
In 2007, Comer was contacted by Tom Hutton, trustee of the Geoffrey Beene Foundation, which is funded by profits from the late designer's company. Since 2005 the business has channeled more than $150 million to the foundation, which supports Alzheimer's projects, among others, as part of its mission to fund research pertaining to medical, educational and social issues. Hutton asked for a meeting with Comer, who had recently won a Shriver Profiles in Dignity Award for her work. "I thought I was there to brief him on advocacy in Washington," Comer recalls. "But he said, 'I've got a better idea: Why don't you run a foundation for Alzheimer's?' " That November, Comer launched the Geoffrey Beene Gives Back Alzhei-mer's Initiative (geoffreybeene.com/alzheimers .html) and started putting money into programs. So far, the initiative has committed more than $1.5 million to research at UCLA, Yale, Mount Sinai, Massachusetts General Hospital, the Institute for Molecular Medicine and the University of Rochester.
Five years ago, Comer's mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Now she lives in her daughter's dining room turned bedroom, cared for by Comer and the three rotating aides who also look after Gralnick. Struggling with this double difficulty, Comer finds support in a network of good friends. " 'Let's go out and breathe,' they tell me, so we go hiking," she says. "But really, Geoffrey Beene saved my life. The foundation gave me a way to flip the heartache and make something positive."

The Children's Theatre's current location is...well. Sure, it's downtown, but unless you're lucky enough to get a spot right in front, you'll do some walking and the stage is pretty small compared to others, yet they're such a talented group. So, we were happy to read in their press release this morning the theater company is moving south to the historic Avalon Theatre.
The Avalon was a stop for lesser-known pop and rock acts for a long time, along with a bunch of local bands. And for the past 3 1/2 years, the Children's Theatre has been looking for a building to call their own - the current building is owned by Salt Lake City. Since 1985, the Children's Theatre has not owned their own building or even held a long-term lease, until now.
Renovations are about to begin, and the Children's Theatre is planning the move for fall 2011. Here's what to expect (straight from the press release):
Location The new theatre is located at 3605 South State Street. Superb accessibility from I-80, I-15 via 33rd & 45th South freeway exits and State Street. Whether you are coming from the north, south, east or west, traveling to the theatre will be convenient for performances, classes and field trips.
Parking Two private parking lots are on either side of the building. 50 parking stalls, plus plentiful street parking make for superior convenience when traveling to The Children's Theatre.
Marquee The main exterior feature of the building is the historic marquee built in 1941. The Marquee will be repaired and preserved. We can't wait to see our name in lights.
Lobby Entering through one of four entrance doors, patrons will find themselves in an inviting lobby with artwork adorning either side. Curved walls highlight the box office and concessions stand ahead. On either side, two theatre entrances and restrooms complete the lobby.
Auditorium Carpeted aisles will lead patrons to our 185 seat auditorium featuring a thrust stage, stadium seating and 17 ceilings. The intimacy our audiences love will remain in the new auditorium.
Studios Space located at the front of the theatre and behind the stage will serve as a studios.
It's not too late to register your kids for the Children's Theatre summer camps. Click here for more info.

Model Release Lawsuit Survives Getty's Challenge
A New York state judge has cleared the way for a lawsuit by a model who is accusing Getty Images of commercial use of her likeness without a model release.
State supreme court judge Ancil C. Singh rejected last week a request from Getty to throw out model Avril Nolan's claim on First Amendment and other grounds.
Nolan sued Getty last September after her picture appeared in a public service ad promoting services for HIV-positive people. The ad, published in a free daily called AM NY, showed a picture of Nolan with the headline "I am positive (+) and I have rights."
The ad was placed by the New York State Division of Human Rights, which licensed the image of Nolan from Getty. The photograph was shot by Getty contributor Jena Cumbo, according to court documents.
Nolan alleges that she didn't sign a model release for the image, so Getty was in violation of New York's right of publicity law not only for licensing the image for use in the HIV ad, but also for displaying the image on its web site.
New York state law prohibits use of a person's likeness for advertising or trade purposes without written consent, i.e., a model release.
Getty countered in its motion for dismissal that displaying the images on its web site for licensing to third parties does not constitute advertising or trade use under the state's right of publicity law. The agency also claimed a First Amendment right to display images for license to third parties. And it argued that Nolan should sue the State of New York, not Getty, since it was the state that used the image for advertising purposes, allegedly without consent.
But the judge concluded that Getty's defenses are questions for a jury to decide.
The ruling was against Getty's motion to dismiss the lawsuit, and not a ruling on the merits of Nolan's claims.
