Thank you for the more balanced education article "Class Warfare." Our public schools are far from failing or broken—they are the last vestige of true democracy in our country.
Carpet baggers and union busters are attacking our schools for material gain. Charter schools, Teachscape and perhaps Teach For Amercia are all for profit, even though technically classified as non-profit.
The real problem facing democracy is the ignorance and arrogance of the private school product, which includes George Bush, President Obama, Bloomberg, Cathie Black, etc. But of course, the media can never attack the sacred cow of private education.
Julia and Avis: Beyond Email
I enjoyed your article "Mastering the Art of Friendship," immensely. The letters shared between Julia Child and Avis DeVoto were charming and reminded me that not all communication needs to be via email or text. A letter can truly convey feelings and inspire a lifelong friendship.
Today is a fast-paced world, which doesn't usually allow us to grow a friendship in a slow and loving way. Thanks so much for the reminder. I'm inspired to now pull out a pen and a beautiful piece of stationery to write a friend.

Helping the Enemy?
I have subscribed to your magazine since the beginning, and I love it. The small article [in More Now] "Pakistan Women Need Your Help" did give me pause. I don't think there is a crazy misunderstanding about Islam or Muslims. However, I do think Americans are tired of other countries constantly demanding money from us, especially ones that are a viable threat. I made a conscious vow that no more of my money goes to what I consider the enemy or to people who live here and spit on my flag, while enjoying many freebies from my tax money.
I didn't always feel this way, but the times have changed me. The more I talk with folks, the more I know this to be a common feeling. Americans are tired of the anti-American sentiment and the constant demand for more from us.
Less Noise, More Action
There's no question that Sarah Palin and Jan Brewer made a lot of noise this year and were featured in your 2nd Annual Noisemaker Awards, but is that really the best criteria that MORE could come up with to highlight the achievement of women this year?
From my perspective, you are celebrating, at the very least, a liar (death panels), plus a quitter and a cynic. Brewer is a member of the very party that is responsible for the inaction on the issue of immigration at the federal level. Where I come from, liars, quitters and cynics are to be scorned, not celebrated.

The recent spate of really nice riding weather had made me think it was time to take Brigitta, my '87 R80 Beemer, up to Loveland Pass before Winter arrived.
The day was beautifully sunny and in the low 60s down in the metro area, and I would see a low of temperatures in the high 30s at the top of the pass. Great riding conditions!
Well, except for the first mile of the Loveland Pass Road, on the east side where I started up towards the pass. The road was wet from melting snow and it had not evaporated as this portion of the road is in the shadow of the mountainside. I chose to go nice and slow and steady, stopping twice to either let cagers get past me in their rush to the top; or to "evaluate" going further or turn around.
Mind you, I wasn't feeling slippery conditions, it just looked "icy" at times. Still, once I rounded the first main turn on the road up, it was sunny and 99% clear road conditions. The top of the summit was crowded with lots of cagers and folks snowboarding, but I was able to find a good spot for Brigitta.
Brigitta and I then motored on past the summit, enjoying the lovely dry road conditions. We rode down towards the hairpin turn that marks the lowest point of the pass area.
At this point, it was time for me to turn around and head back towards the summit. I really didn't want to be negotiating the wet roads near the bottom of US6/Loveland Pass Road when temperatures dropped.
Brigitta and I cruised once more through the summit area, and then made our way down towards I-70. I had to stop on the side of the road a couple of times to let cagers pass me as I was going near the speed limit and apparently that's only guidance to those cagers. The last stretch over the wet section of road was thankfully without a cager behind me.
Soon Brigitta and I were motoring along at 65 mph on the I-70 Super Slab heading back towards Denver. The ride back was uneventful, traffic was light to medium and the weather warmed nicely as I approached the city. Brigitta elected to use I-70 all the way through the metro area and then took back roads back towards home.
I would end up basically doing a big loop around the metro area, with Loveland Pass and the Continental Divide being the "highlight" of the ride. About 140 miles or so I believe, and Brigitta ran great.
Ride Safe. Ride Aware.

WASHINGTON — Dmitry Orlov had himself quite a day for the Washington Capitals. Things were going great for the defenseman, who now has three goals this season, all against the Flyers.
He had a pair Sunday, but gave the Flyers life with a five-minute major for boarding Brayden Schenn at 9:33 of the third period.
The Flyers scored on the ensuing power play, which led to the win. Orlov left his feet on the play, which is probably what led to the "major" distinction, but he might hear from the league office, also.
Flyers coach Craig Berube didn't seem to have a problem with the hit.
"Nah, it's hockey, man," Berube said. "Play hard. Your guys play hard, things happen. Nobody likes a hit from behind. I never have. From when I played the game to now. It's a dangerous hit, but it happens and it's a fast game out there. Things happen."
Orlov will have a phone hearing with the league Monday, so whatever supplemental discipline he gets (if any) will be less than five games.
Earlier this season, fellow Capital Tom Wilson had a phone hearing for a hit on Schenn and received no further discipline.
Do you think Orlov, who has not been suspended in his 101 NHL games, will get suspended?
Here's video of the hit.

While the Red Hot Chili Peppers were on fire when they joined Bruno Mars onstage during the Super Bowl halftime performance, fans couldn't help but notice that something was undeniably off about their rendition of "Give It Away" on Sunday night. And, as bassist Flea confirmed in a lengthy letter on Tuesday (February 4), something was: their guitars — and they weren't any less disappointed than you were.
As he explained in a post on the band's website, the NFL had told the Peppers long before they hit the stage that they would not be able to play their drum, guitar and bass live. Anthony Kiedis' vocals were live, but Super Bowl organizers only had "a few minutes to set up the stage," adding that "a zillion things" could have gone wrong in the setup. So instead, the guys pre-recorded the track and didn't bother plugging in for appearance's sake — "we thought it better not to pretend," he explained — and, as expected, the world definitely noticed.
"There was not any room for argument on this, the NFL does not want to risk their show being botched by bad sound, period," he wrote. "The Red Hot Chili Peppers stance on any sort of miming has been that we will absolutely not do it. The last time we did it (or tried to) was in the late 80's, we were thrown off of 'The Top Of the Pops' television program in the U.K. during rehearsals because we refused to mime properly, I played bass with my shoe, John played guitar atop Anthony's shoulders, and we basically had a wrestling match onstage, making a mockery of the idea that it was a real live performance."
And even though the California-bred rock group are vehemently anti-miming, after going back and forth among themselves and consulting fellow musicians, they decided that, in the end, a Super Bowl performance is "a surreal-like, once in a life time crazy thing to do."
"I spoke with many musician friends for whom I have the utmost respect, and they all said they would do it if asked, that it was a wild trippy thing to do, what the hell. Plus, we the RHCP all love football too and that played a big part in our decision," Flea explained. "We decided that, with Anthony singing live, that we could still bring the spirit and freedom of what we do into the performance, and of course we played every note in the recording specially for the gig. I met and spoke with Bruno, who was a beautiful dude, a real talented musician, and we worked out something that seemed like it would be fun.
It's fairly common for musicians to pre-record vocals for such high-profile gigs — even Jennifer Hudson and Faith Hill lip synched back in 2009 — but there haven't been any high-profile accusations of halftime performers pantomiming guitar and drums.
"I am grateful to the NFL for having us. And I am grateful to Bruno, who is a super talented young man for inviting us to be a part of his gig. I would do it all the same way again," Flea wrote. "We, as a band, aspire to grow as musicians and songwriters, and to continue to play our guts out live onstage for anyone who wants to get their brains blown out."

Minutemen Cruise Past Birmingham Southern
Sept. 5, 2003
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The University of Massachusetts' men's soccer team cruised to a 5-0 victory in the opening round of the La Quinta Classic, hosted by the University of Alabama-Birmingham. The win evens UMass' record to 1-1-0 overall, heading into Sunday's match-up with No. 13-ranked UAB.
UMass wasted no time getting on the board, as Oral Bullen (Brooklyn, N.Y.) found the back of the net with a low shot from in close that slid under the BSC goalie for a 1-0 advantage just 7:19 into the game. Dan Colwell (Norwell, Mass.) assisted on the goal. UMass added to the lead just over 13 minutes later when Ernie Billittier (Mundelein, Ill.) received the ball off a deflection and fired a rocket past the goalie for a 2-0 lead in the 21st minute. Gabe Barnard (Williamsburg, Mass.) tallied his first goal of the season in the 39th minute when he slipped a shot through traffic that beat the BSC goalie to the right post for a 3-0 halftime lead. Ralph Pace (Richmond, Va.) assisted on the goal.
The Minutemen stretched their lead to 4-0 at the 87:57 mark with senior captain Ptah Myers (Columbus, Ohio) notched his first goal of the season. UMass then closed out the scoring when Bullen streaked down the right side and fired a shot from in close at the 88:18 mark for a 5-0 opening-round victory.
The UMass defense stood strong as Colin Burns (Newark, Del.) and Nick Billman (St. Louis, Mo.) combined for the shutout. Burns made one stop in the first half and Billman tallied three in the second half, as UMass outshot the Panthers, 15-13. The Minutemen also recorded eight corner kicks to BSC's one.
The Minutemen will battle #13-ranked Alabama-Birmingham in the title game at 2:30 EST on Sunday, Sept. 7.

2008 Research Summary
Source/Drain and Contact Design for High Performance and Low Standby Power Nanoscale MOSFETs
View Current Project Information
Reinaldo Vega and Tsu-Jae King Liu
Conventional MOSFET design for different power-performance conditions (e.g., high performance [HP] and low standby power [LSTP]) have traditionally relied upon changes in device geometry and doping parameters. For example, an LSTP device, which necessarily has lower off-state current than a HP device, may utilize a larger sidewall spacer and/or a lower source/drain extension (SDE) implant dose. For devices in the nanoscale regime, however, the optimal source/drain designs for different power-performance conditions may differ by something more fundamental than geometry and doping--the material itself.
Metallic source/drain (MSD) MOSFETs have received attention for nanoscale CMOS due to the reduced source/drain series resistance achievable with such structures. However, since the structure relies upon an aggressive silicide formation, the distance between the silicide junction and the SDE junction to the body region is small. Consequently, tunneling through the SDE region will give rise to ambipolar leakage, thereby increasing the leakage floor. Changing the SDE doping (Figure 1) and junction depth (Figure 2) can reduce this leakage, although ultimately the minimum leakage achievable is a tradeoff between SDE tunneling and band-to-band tunneling (BTBT). This constrains the LSTP design space for MSD MOSFETs such that the Ion:Ioff tradeoff is manifested in a tradeoff between tunneling leakage and contact resistance.
For HP design, the leakage specification is much higher, which permits higher SDE doping to the point where contact resistance is insignificant and source/drain series resistance dominates. Although this places MSD MOSFETs at a performance advantage over conventional or raised source/drain (RSD) MOSFETs, RSD structures may incorporate source/drain stressors such as Si1-xGex or Si1-yCy which induce channel strain to improve drive current. Thus, the answer to which source/drain approach is the most beneficial for HP design at small scales remains unclear. The focus of this work is to determine, through TCAD modeling and experimentation, whether HP and LSTP multi-gate MOSFET designs in the nanoscale regime can be optimized with a single source/drain architecture, as in the past, or whether two fundamentally different approaches are necessary.
Figure 1: NMOS leakage floor vs. source/drain extension doping concentration in a 15 nm gate length symmetric double gate MSD MOSFET, with VDS = 1 V, and varying source/drain silicides and gate underlap to the metal-semiconductor junction. The SDE length is 5 nm in all cases.
Figure 2: NMOS leakage floor vs. source/drain extension length (i.e., where the extension doping drops to 1x1018 cm-3) for the symmetric double gate MSD MOSFET in Figure 1 using NiSi source/drain regions and a gate underlap of 8 nm

3. The Journal for Artistic Research (JAR) invites original submissions for future issues from artists worldwide, with or without academic affiliation. The journal is open to submission from all artists who wish to reflect on and expose artistic practice as research, who are interested in exchanging ideas and processes with a group of engaged peers and, thus willing to contribute to the ongoing debate about research in the arts. Submissions that should be considered for JAR5 need to be made before November 15, 2013.
JAR is a peer-reviewed journal, publishing original research from artists of all disciplines. Published twice a year, with currently four issues accessible online, the journal is unique in its field, marrying the rich-media and social networking capabilities of online publishing to peer-review and scholarly rigour.With the aim of displaying and documenting practice in a manner that respects artistic modes of presentation, the journal uses the Research Catalogue, a free-to-use online tool that allows the weaving together of text, image, audio and video material.JAR is open to all possible approaches to the publication of research including those that use little or no text. The Research Catalogue also enables collaboration, allowing multiple authors to work on the same document simultaneously and submit to the journal as a team. Articles that are not accepted for publication in JAR can be self-published, free of charge in the Research Catalogue.
JAR is a free open-access resource, with an international readership and a growing pool of renowned artistic and academic reviewers. The journal's issues are non-thematic and submissions are considered by an experienced editorial board, in a rolling fashion, as they are submitted. To submit an article, contributors are required to register for an account on the Research Catalogue, and use the writing space to layout and expose their research. JAR provides editorial guidance and technical help with these processes.
Interested contributors should first acquaint themselves with previous issues at www.jar-online.net (the inaugural issue JAR0is a good place to start) and then contact the journal to discuss the suitability of their material and receive advice on progressing towards submission.
The next issue, JAR4, will be published in November.
Send your correspondence to Barnaby Drabble, Managing Editor, Journal for Artistic Research:Â email@example.com
4. Call for Critical Writing Proposals:JARÂ is published by the Society for Artistic Research.
gorse's website will publish shorter pieces of criticism [1], narrative essays and interviews. We are not currently considering fiction or poetry. Please send a query, or the first 500 words of your proposed essay, to info [at] gorse [dot] ie. Work should be previously unpublished. Simultaneous submissions are acceptable as long as you tell us straightaway if your work is accepted for publication elsewhere. We will do our best to reply to all queries, but if you don't hear back from us within six weeks please feel free to submit to another venue. Please note that as our resources are limited, we are only in a position to offer contributors a token fee. Finished pieces for the website would ideally be between 500 to 3000 words.
We are interested in the potential of literature, in literature where lines between fiction, memoir and history blur (Sebald, Cendrars, Bolaño, Joyce), in experimental [2] writing, in fiction in translation, in the unconventional and the under recognised, in the personal essay (Sontag, Dyer). We are a literary journal equally interested in the arts (fine art, photography, architecture, film, music), in culture, in politics. We're looking for smart writing, not academic.
1. "I. The critic is the strategist in the literary battle. II He who cannot take sides should keep silent. III. The critic has nothing in common with the interpreter of past cultural epochs. IV. Criticism must talk the language of artists. For the terms of the cenacle are slogans. And only in slogans is the battle-cry heard…â€Â Walter Benjamin ↩
2. We acknowledge the word 'experimental' is not without its problems. (See John O'Brien on this point: "If Sternewere writing today, he would be labeled a postmodernist, but what sense would that make, given when he was actually writing? As far as I am concerned, the history of fiction is one of invention, oftentimes playful and conscious of itself, but always pushing limits in terms of what it is and what else it can be. But I absolutely do not think of a Sterne or a Joyce as "experimentersâ€: they didn't experiment, they made these remarkable books whose ingenuity and art are rarely seen in other writers or matched. Their works are finished and complete achievements, not experiments.â€) 'Experimental' is not weird for the sake of weird, it is innovation. ↩
Created in 1993, Emergency Grants provides speedy funding for visual and performing artists who have unanticipated, sudden opportunities to present their work to the public, or who incur unexpected or unbudgeted expenses for projects close to completion with committed exhibition or performance dates. The grants are intended to support the creation of innovative and experimental work, and are meant to assist individuals and groups when there is insufficient time to seek other sources of funding.
Requests are primarily granted to artists who are "emerging" and have few sources of financial support. Emergency Grants is the only active, multi-disciplinary program that offers immediate assistance of this kind to artists working anywhere in the United States.
Emergency Grants applications are accepted year round; there is no deadline. Applications are accepted online only; please refer to the application requirements below. Grants are determined on a monthly basis by the Emergency Grants Panel, a volunteer committee of established artists. In 2012, grants ranged in amount from $350 to $2,440; the average grant was $1,165. Go here for more information
Notes on the Studio, from a Visitor's Perspective
November 1, 2010 · Print This Article
I'm always really pleased but also sort of baffled, too, when an artist invites me over for a studio visit. Once, when I had an institutional career, it was pretty obvious why an artist would want me in his or her studio, and what the stakes were: at minimum, the promise to 'keep them in mind' for some vague something in the future, and the best outcome, definitive inclusion in an upcoming exhibition I was planning. Now, not so much. I don't have anything to offer an artist other than my words, so I'm all the more touched when they make the effort to invite me over.
This morning I was musing about the different forms of engagement that a studio visit versus an art review or some other type of written assessment represent. For me, not for the artist. I can't speak for the artist. Which is why I think that studio visits are such charged experiences for me. I have to warm up for them – not by reading up on the artist's work or anything (although I guess that would be nice, huh?)—but by getting into a certain kind of flexible brain state of mind. I have to start stripping away at some self-protecting and thus extremely comfy walls around myself, and that takes work.
Studio visits require me to be even more open and in-the-moment and attuned to the kinds of all-body awareness that every instance of looking at art requires, but since I'm also being watched by someone else and engaging in a conversation with them, I need to be equally open to the experience of radical vulnerability. When I write, I'm alone, and I can compose and then revise my opinions until I think they're ready, or ready enough, for public viewing. When I'm in the studio, face to face with an artist, I don't have the luxury of crafting my words. Since I almost always have no idea what I'm going to see when I get there, a studio visit means I'm going to have to think on my feet. But since I don't really believe that an artwork has an essential "meaningâ€, only meanings (and, old-fashioned though it now may be, I retain much suspicion about the whole authorial intent thing too), I also have to be willing to say lots of things that, were I writing about this work instead of talking about it, I would have eventually come to erase or re-word or recalibrate.
The most intimidating thing about studio visits for me is that sometimes, the artist seems to be expecting me to respond to something on the spot. It takes me days to write an art review, days of slapping little black symbols onto white space (because that's how most of us write now—I don't inscribe my thoughts with pens and paper, it feels more like conjuring: I think, my brain makes my fingers jiggle and jerk, tiny words appear on the big, blindingly white screen before me, I look at those words and sit back and try to figure out if they work. If they do the work they are supposed to do. And if one or more of those words doesn't, if it's being stubborn or recalcitrant, I need to sit back somehow and figure out why not, why isn't that word saying what it's supposed to, god dammit, is it because it's really supposed to be this, not that, or maybe it's more like that, not this?
From that place, for me, meaning arrives. If I'm lucky. Sometimes, pretty rarely now but still sometimes, I am not so lucky, and everything falls apart.
Things are always falling apart in the studio, though, and that's what I find so exciting and energizing about engaging with artists and their work in that space. Conversations can flow between the artist and myself as if we were old friends, even though we're not; they can also be halting or spurting or circuitous and even more meaningful because of that. Sometimes there's that panicky feeling you get when it sounds like you're engaging in a conversation, one where we think that we understand what the other person is saying, and vice-versa, but then you start to realize that perhaps this is not at all what is happening, that you're actually speaking two different languages that sound alike but are, in fact, nothing alike.
In the artist's studio, I have to be willing to grope for words and say the wrong thing and/or be misinterpreted and just generally come off as totally stupid – and hey, let's face it, not just to look stupid, but to actually reveal myself as the stupid human being that I am. This is easy to do but hard to accept. I take a certain amount of pride in the fact that I have managed to be stupid successfully, over and over, actually pretty much every time I have visited an artist's studio. I think that's something. Maybe it's everything. Right?

With General Motors facing a total of 13.1 million recalls so far this year – a new US record – the company appears to be using its standard bag of tricks to circle its wagons while announcing to the world "we're going to get to it."
Tricks in GM's goody bag
As the number of recalls grows, the country's number two automaker has begun its usual litany of announcements to keep potential buyers from noticing nothing has been done yet. About the only thing that has been done is GM has taken write-downs of about $2.1 billion for the last several quarters.
(author's note: A write-down is an automaker's way of saying I have paid or will be paying $X for repairs to these cars. They can then be used as tax deductions.)
Another of GM's little goodies is silence. They make an announcement of a recall and then you don't hear about it again until someone points it out and either takes it to the the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or they head to the nearest federal district courthouse and a judge to order action.
More goodies
Another old favorite of General Motors is the recommendation that customers make early appointments with the service area of their dealer. As Al Adler told the Associated Press last week, an appointment should be the first step because it will ensure them an early place in line when parts become available. AP also indicated that the GM expected to have at least the 2.4 million vehicles involved in the ignition recall repaired by Oct. 1.
Dealers interviewed by news organizations indicated that though the first recall letters were to have been sent out by GM in April that at the end of May neither the letters nor the parts were available for the recall.
An unapologetic apology
General Motors CEO Mary Barra, former vice president of global manufacturing engineering, stood before Congress in April and apologized for the problem and then indicated to a House committee that she would personally look into the problem to assure that it was being handled correctly. She also indicated that the automaker would take care of the problem promptly, assuring the lawmakers that the company was on top of it.
In truth, it looked like it was a script being played as Barra had indicated the automaker – now facing a 13.1 million-car recall – had the parts and plans in place to take care of those vehicles involved in the recall:
The 2003-2007 Chevy Cobalt
The 2003-2007 Chevy HHR
The Pontiac G5 (no longer manufactured)
The Pontiac Solstice
The Saturn Sky
The Saturn Ion
A lawmaker who attended the hearing where Barra made the promises indicated that though the words were right, the automaker had provided no evidence that it had either sent out any required recall letters nor had it indicated that the parts needed to make the fix were in place, though Barra, made a huge point of indicting they were.
See your dealer's service area in a what?
If you are old enough to remember hearing the old ditty about "Seeing the USA in your Chevrolet," then you probably have seen a sea change in the way GM handles its service. For example, the automaker has promised that it will provide those whose cars are recalled with "free rental recall cars" as alternative transportation. Unless GM is handling the rental fee – which it may or may not as it is still not clear – you end up paying for your own transportation. Or you may end up paying for there rental and eventually GM will reimburse you. This is not the way the GM of the 1950s or 60s would have handled the problem as it was rather proud of its products and provided loaner cars to customers.
GM is also indicating that it will have the problem fixed for 13.1 by the October deadline and said the cars are perfectly safe to drive – even though it had finally acknowledged that 13 people had died due to the ignition recall.
A Texas GM customer disagreed and has filed suit to ask a judge to order all GM cars involved in the recall grounded until the company was absolutely sure the fix would work, the Associated Press has reported.
And, in another recall...
And, in another 2.4-million vehicle recall, General Motors has recalled:
The Buick Enclave
The Chevrolet Traverse
The Chevrolet Malibu
The Cadillac Escalade
The Chevrolet Silverado HD pickup
The GMC Sierra HD pickup
The recall is for a variety of fixes and raises to 29, AP reported, the number of recalls in which GM products are involved.
It's also interesting to note that while GM has dropped to the number two automaker worldwide, losing the number one spot to Toyota, it has surpassed any other automaker in the number of recalls it faces this year. By comparison, AP reports, Ford had had only 1.4 million cars recalled during the same time period while Toyota has had only 2.7 million vehicles recalled.
Last-minute addition
In a last-minute addition to the number of recalls GM faces, AP reports, that 218,000 Chevy Aveos had been recalled due to possible fire problems.
Right now, this is not the time to be looking for a GM franchise.

We've all heard a patient or family member claim that "they've become resistant to an antibiotic." Clinicians and public health campaigns often attempt to communicate the importance of appropriate antibiotic use, yet how patients interpret the concept of 'antibiotic resistance' may impede their best efforts. Thus, could patient misunderstanding hinder antibiotic stewardship efforts?
In July's JGIM (abstract free here), Lucy Brookes-Howell and colleagues from nine European countries completed semi-structured interviews of 121 patients with a recent lower respiratory tract infection, in order to determine their understanding of 'antibiotic resistance'. The most common theme that emerged from this study was that patients conceptualized antibiotic resistance as being 'the resistant human body' with 43 of 121 expressing this idea. Only 28 patients correctly understood that resistance was a property of the bacteria. Thus, substantial confusion was present in the majority of patients.
With almost two-thirds of patients not understanding the basics of antibiotic resistance, it is unclear if current public health campaigns that suggest that individual misuse promotes resistance can ever be effective. The authors of this study correctly wonder whether a community focus might be a better approach and also mention that using terms like 'superbug' might improve patient understanding. Maryn McKenna might be onto something...

The increased use and in some cases abuse of antibiotic has effected in bacterial resistance in human health. Although research for newer and more effective antibiotics are going on, necessary steps must be taken to reverse the practices that increase antibiotic resistance in bacteria. The World Health Organization (WHO) has concerned on it and directed Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring program which conceal the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.ReplyDelete

|Rucci: Intangibles matter in life and in a career
With 25 years of experience as a corporate officer at companies such as Cardinal Health, Baxter and Sears, Tony Rucci knows first-hand what it takes to be a successful senior executive.
Now as an academic, he brings his unique perspective on management education to the classroom teaching MBA candidates, honors undergraduates and in executive education programs. He is not solely focused on functional management expertise. He often finds himself emphasizing to students the importance of self-awareness, passion and even failure in their pursuit of career goals.
"Intangibles matter," Rucci said. "I have never seen a leader fail because of their functional, technical expertise," he said. "Every time a leader has failed, it has been because of a lack of interpersonal effectiveness or lack of leadership effectiveness."
The importance of dignity and respectful treatment in the workplace, meaningful work and personal accountability were cornerstones of the presentation Rucci delivered at the Academy of Management annual conference in August.
"I talked about these three P's—passion, performance and principle. These are the three things I have seen that successful people have in common," he told Academy of Management members gathered in Anaheim, California.
Rucci's success theory has been validated by his peers and the members of the Academy's Human Resources Division, who gave him the 2008 Distinguished Human Resource Executive Award. The award, co-sponsored by the Society for Human Resource Management, is given to executives who have distinguished themselves throughout their careers in the field of human resources management.
As an executive, Rucci has had a broad range of leadership experience, including roles on board of directors and governance and international responsibilities. He has been centrally involved and responsible for major merger and acquisition activities and large scale organizational transformation efforts. Currently, he is popular on the speaker's circuit, addressing boards and business executives at corporations several times a year as well as students on the Fisher campus.
With a PhD in organizational psychology and widely published in professional, academic and general business publications such as Harvard Business Review and Fortune, Rucci has blended his scholarship and corporate experiences to help Fisher students more closely examine their career goals. He challenges them to think beyond the superficial characterizations of success — titles and salary.
"The traditional definition of success is too limiting," Rucci said. "When you talk to people who are at the end of their career, they don't want to talk about their accomplishments. Instead, they want to talk about the impact they have had on other people during their careers. I make a huge distinction between success and significance. You can do both in life, but they are not the same thing."
Passion, performance and principle are drivers that can lead graduates to management success, he said. Successful executives get results because they are passionate about what they do and are focused on achievement and standards.
"They have a sense of purpose about their lives," he said. "People want to be a part of something bigger than themselves both professionally and in life."
He believes business schools focus too exclusively on the functional disciplines such as accounting, finance and marketing. "As important as those skills are, often we don't balance that off with students' ability to work well with other people, command respect and to step up to leadership," he said. "We need to identify curricula and approaches that enable people to develop on these intangible dimensions, not just quantitative and technical skills."

Hi, all.
I finally got to fire my M4A3 at the state game range this weekend. Like a fool, I forgot the front sight post adjusting tool. Now, it's been awhile since I had to qualify for Uncle Sam's Misguided Children, so, I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas as for the best way sight in my rifle. As it stands, once I adjusted the rear sight windage knob 3 clicks to the right, I was hitting center mass, but 6 inches high. Any idea as to how many clicks I should adjust the front sight post?

Kenney Leads Four Selections to All-Big 12 Softball Teams
Mikey Kenney became the first Tech player honored on the All-Big 12 first team since 2007.
May 15, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas - Mikey Kenney led a group of four Texas Tech players honored on the All-Big 12 softball teams Tuesday as she was named to the first team in a vote by the conference coaches.
Kenney joins three second-team honorees in Emily Bledsoe, Sandy James, and Adriana Perez, giving Tech its most all-conference selections since also picking up four following the 2004 season.
After totaling a .327 average with 13 home runs and 31 RBI so far this season, Kenney becomes the first Tech player to be named to the first team since Ashley Parker in 2007. The Arvada, Colo. native, who is among the league leaders in runs scored, stolen bases, and home runs, was also honored by the conference following her 2010 freshman season as she was named to the second team.
Perez has added more power to the Tech lineup after transferring from Antelope Valley College this season. The junior leads the team with a .350 average, 15 home runs, and 55 RBI. She enters this weekend's NCAA Washington Regional needing just one more home run to match James' single-season record from a year ago.
Following her powerful season from a year ago, James has managed to hit 11 home runs this season while driving in 44 RBI from the middle of Tech's lineup. Along with Perez, she is among the Big 12 leaders in several offensive categories, including home runs and RBI.
Bledsoe, meanwhile, continues to be one of the conference's top third basemen as the senior is hitting .290 over her final season with five home runs and 24 RBI. A regular on the base paths, Bledsoe has swiped 10 bases this year while posting a team-high .435 on-base percentage. She has also been hit by a conference-high 14 pitches while drawing 28 walks as well.
The Fulshear, Texas native earned her third career selection, marking the first time a Red Raider had been honored in three-consecutive seasons since Sandy Butler was picked in four-straight from 1998-2001. James joined her on the second team a year ago as Tech's only two recipients.
Oklahoma led the league with three yearly award honorees in Coach of the Year Patty Gasso, Player of the Year Keilani Ricketts, and Freshman of the Year Lauren Chamberlain. Missouri's Chelsea Thomas was recognized as the conference's top pitcher while Corrin Genovese was chosen as the top defensive player.
Texas A&M had a league-high seven selections to the first and second teams while Missouri and Texas totaled six each and Oklahoma tallied five. Baylor, Kansas, and Oklahoma State all had three student-athletes chosen while Iowa State rounded out the group with one honoree.
The Red Raiders open the Washington Regional against Maryland Friday evening. First pitch is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. CT at the Husky Softball Stadium.

Regional Recipient
Donald Tulk
Donald Tulk, of Roncalli Central High School in Port Saunders, Newfoundland, jumped at an opportunity to make a contribution to the local community and to give his students some hands-on experience working with modern technology. A new cable television channel needed community input and Mr. Tulk's students were just the people to provide it. They set up an advertising channel that serves three local towns, taking on responsibility for everything from administration to camera operation. The project has an additional benefit for the students by giving them immediate evidence of what studies in technology have to do with the real world.

I could worship a particularly green and attractive cabbage and call my worship "Buddhism", but that clearly wouldn't make it so. Mahayana is the same.
Buddhism is following the teachings of Buddha. Even following the path of Buddha. Christianity is
following the teachings of Christ.
. This is why most Christians today are un-christian. They are on their own equivalent of the big raft.
And no, the NUMBER of people who believe that Mahayana is true Buddhism is irrelevant. They're all misguided and foolish
in this respect
. Regardless of their majority status.
I'm reminded of those who offer the bigoted perspective that certain sects of christianity aren't actually "christian." I've seen accusations that Mormons, Jehova's Witnesses, even Catholics aren't actually christian. But, in the end, they're just christians. Different flavors, to be sure, christian nonetheless.
The same is true with Mahayana Buddhism. Call it what you will, Spider, but the *are* Buddhists. There's not a text on religion, anthropology of religion, or sociology of religion, that I'm aware that posits otherwise. Moreover, Mahayanists adhere to some of the main tenets of Buddhism, including the 8 Fold Path and the 4 Noble Truths as well as Nirvana. Not to mention that Buddha himself is of primary importance.
In the end, you can keep calling them whatever you wish or don't wish, but it would be like calling a sphere a cube: no matter how many times you say "cube," corners won't appear. Mahayanism *is* a form of Buddhism.

text: Felida — Understanding the ongoing need for aid in the typhoon-ravaged Philippines, Vancouver resident John Cordell returned to the Pacific island nation a month after his December deployment with disaster-relief charity ShelterBox. The retired Portland police officer left Jan. 11 to continue his work to help to hundreds of homeless families. Typhoon Bopha, which made landfall on Dec. 3, has reportedly killed nearly 1,000 people and destroyed more than 200,000 homes in the southern Philippines. ShelterBox sends response teams, emergency shelters and other rescue supplies to displaced people in disaster-plagued regions across the world. It was founded in 2000 and has responded to nearly 200 disaster areas. Cordell was joined on this two-week trip by fellow Vancouver resident Bill Woodard. It's Woodard's first ShelterBox deployment and Cordell's 14th. "I find it rewarding," Cordell said of working with ShelterBox.
