asked in 2005,
answered by Martin von Hildebrand
1. What is the biggest challenge in working with Indigenous Peoples in the Amazon?
The great challenge in the work with the Indigenous Peoples, and indeed a crucial aspect in the success of the indigenous process itself in the Colombian Amazon, is the shift from claiming Indigenous Rights once they have been recognised to exerting them at roots level by indigenous organisations.
The impression one gets is that many of the Indigenous Peoples and movements around the world have adopted a social and/or political position where their rights are claimed for their implementation and respect from the part of the National governments and other national and international entities.
In our experience, once Indigenous Peoples have had their rights recognised, the challenge and focus has been on the exercise of such rights for the developing of intercultural processes to administrate their own [indigenous] government, their education, health, natural and financial resources and environmental management in a manner which is articulated to the national and international world.
The concepts, structure and policies implied in these processes of intercultural governability are not present in the conventional national politico-administrative realms nor in the Indigenous traditional systems alone. Their construction requires a community based work where the communities reflect upon their realities (past, present and future), organisational policies and objectives.
In this context, Indigenous Rights are understood and implemented in function of the policies and goals collectively defined, expressed in written project proposals and executed in co-ordination with the government
2. Is it possible and is it desirable to 'protect' Indigenous Peoples from the influences of modernity?
In my opinion, it is impossible to 'protect' Indigenous Peoples from modernity.
The key issue is that Indigenous Peoples themselves must decide the type of relationship they want. All we can do, is to accompany Indigenous Peoples in the analysis and in the development of ways of handling their relationship with the 'modern' world. We can also focus efforts in making the Western world more aware of the value of Traditional Cultures as well as the need to recognise their rights, their cultures, territories and ways of life by opening real legal politico-administrative and cultural spaces where the Indigenous Rights can be implemented by the Indigenous Peoples.
3. Are cultural norms and priorities of Indigenous Peoples always good for the protection of the environment and the rainforest?
This varies from culture to culture and according to the context they live in and the pressures put on them, both inner and outer. In general, Indigenous Peoples tend to preserve their environment because it is the basis of their subsistence and the availability of land is limited by ethnic, cultural and traditional distributions for access and management. Indigenous Peoples have developed complex spiritual, social and economic practices to achieve a sound collective environmental management which guarantees the sustainability of both human and natural existence. However, the danger lies in the fragility of these practices in the face of overwhelming outer pressures and internal cultural degradation.
It is up to us to realise and recognise the importance of traditional knowledge and cultures per se and their role in environmental conservation and to create long term alliances with them. This can be done by developing multiple mechanisms (legal, political, administrative, educational, social, religious, etc.) where cultural diversity and integrity are respected and strengthened, therefore allowing the reproduction of traditional knowledge and the intercultural articulation of diverse human cultures in mutual respect and interest.

It is now a decade since Infosys launched its core banking solution Finacle. This software which enables bank customers to access their accounts from anywhere, anytime, now runs 65% of Indian banks. Infosys is now discovering new markets to conquer, says Haragopal Mangipudi, head of Finacle. At one end is the opportunity to provide the middle class services that they aspire for. At the other end is a mass of underprivileged Indians hitherto considered too poor to have a bank account.
An alumnus of IIM Bangalore, Mr Haragopal has been associated for 22 years in the banking software products space. For the past 15 years, he has been part of the core management team with Finacle — the core banking solution that replaced the piecemeal branch-level automations software.

B12 deficiency, fruitarian. Sleep, water, sugar sufficiency must be the daily focus. Sun + sport must be the weekly focus. Making the world a better place for humanity, the animals and the environment must be the life focus. Here are some more tips from Durianrider & Freelee One MUST get consistent early nights to ensure success on a healthy weight loss lifestyle. More early nights means a healthier and faster metabolism + you will have greater nerve energy for the next day as your organs get the rest they need to function healthfully. High carb low fat fruit based lifestyles work wonders for long term weight loss transformations. Ive NEVER seen a fat fruit or rice muncher EVER. People sneak in fat and wonder why they get fat. Im talking FAT FAT not skinny fat cos someone doesnt move their body and they wonder why they dont have a tight stomach.Weight loss transformation WILL happen when you do the right things. High carb, low fat, early nights, consistent hydration etc. Participate in your fav activities to build the toned body that you want. Its easy to lose weight but to build a toned body you MUST MOVE IT! :) AND eat enough carb calories so that the active adventure filled lifestyle is EASY to maintain!! So many people make the mistake of not eating enough carb calories DAILY!! Thats like wanting to be a big spender on 5$ a day! CHOW DOWN THE CARB CALORIES REGARDLESS OF YOUR WEIGHT!! My recommendations for anyone wanting to get fit + stay fit + gain muscle + burn fat is 10g of carbs per kg of bodyweight per day MINIMUM (even on days off) and 1g of carbs per kg of bodyweight per hour when you're out training. I personally drink enough water so Im pizz'n at least 10 times a day CLEAR and a few times a night. If my urine is yellow or straw, I just knock back a quart and Im good to go. Raw food diet vegan high carb low fat style based on fruit keeps you slim naturally. How to get a flat stomach, how to lose weight with raw foods.how to start a raw food diet? all these questions and more answered by Durianrider & Freelee on our channels. Thanks for watching! :)

Embed Safe Operating Procedures and Ensure That They Are Followed
Engineering, Procurement and Construction contractors are responsible for designing, procuring materials and constructing new plants. Involvement in projects can include everything from project definition and Front End Engineering Design through to pre-commissioning and start-up. In addition to being responsible for creating the Plant's operating procedures, EPCs are required to test the plant systems and they will be responsible for or supervise the pre-commissioning and commissioning of the plant.
In order to carry out testing of systems, pre-commissioning and the commissioning of the plant, EPC's will be required to interfere with their safe operating procedures. It is the Interaction of People on the Plant that carries operational risk. Petrotechnics Proscient platform enables EPC's to plan and manage this work to ensure that these activities are carried out safely. By using our Operational Performance and Predictive Risk solution during this phase, EPCs have the ability to embed operating procedures and ensuring that they are followed when the plant operations is handed back to the Owner.

Morning MoneyBeat: Warnings About the 'Bubble in Complacency'

MARKET SNAP: At 6:00 a.m. ET, S&P 500 futures down 0.2%. 10-Year Treasury yield lower at 2.58%. Nymex up 67 cents at $103.33. Gold 0.1% higher at $1246. In Europe, FTSE 100 down 0.3%, DAX down 0.4% and CAC 40 down 0.6%. In Asia, Nikkei 225 up 0.2% and Hang Seng down 0.6%.

First Quarter Productivity (8:30, second read): seen -3.1%; previously -1.7%. First Quarter Unit Labor Costs (8:30, second read): seen +5.5%: previously +4.2%.

Financial markets are calm, almost too calm for the liking of some Fed officials.
Measures of risk aversion and market volatility show an especially striking sense of investor calm, or complacency. The worry at the Federal Reserve, according to WSJ's Jon Hilsenrath, is that when investors become unafraid of risk, they start taking more of it, which could lead to trouble down the road.
"When you get complacency you're bound to be surprised at some point," Richard Fisher, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, told the WSJ.
Stocks and bonds have rallied this year while volatility and trading volumes have declined sharply.
The market's so-called fear gauge, the VIX, finished Tuesday at 11.87. It has gone 74 straight weeks below its long-run average—a run of steadiness not seen since before the financial crisis in 2006 and 2007.
The S&P 500 has climbed higher to a 4.1% year-to-date gain after last year's 30% surge. The market hasn't suffered a 10% decline since the second half of 2011, a rally that some say has lulled investors back into the market and could make them susceptible to future declines.
It's one thing for market participants to be concerned about low volatility, but it's a different ballgame when Fed officials worry about the current environment. The Fed's easy-money policies and its unprecedented bond-buying program have pushed investors into risky assets and have helped thrust asset prices higher. But now, some central bankers are worried about the unintended consequences stemming from those accommodative policies.
Few are bailing on stocks at current levels. The economy is slowly recovering following a tough first quarter, a lackluster earnings season wasn't as bad as some feared and few fear a recession is around the corner.
"When we talk to clients, they're just not that worried about the risk of equities," Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Cleveland's Key Private Bank, which oversees more than $20 billion, said in a chat with MoneyBeat.
He described the current trading environment as "a bubble in complacency," one that could leave the market susceptible to tougher times ahead.
"I just don't really get the sense that people are overly concerned about anything," he said. "That makes me a little nervous…We're clearly at a point where there's a level of calm that does leave us vulnerable to a selloff."
Morning MoneyBeat Daily Factoid: On this day 25 years ago, China's Communist Party leaders sent heavily armed forces into Beijing to end peaceful pro-democracy protests. Tune in here as current and former WSJ reporters will recall covering Tiananmen Square in 1989 and the subsequent government crackdown that killed hundreds.

Hovnanian is projected to report second-quarter earnings of 3 cents a share, according to a consensus survey by FactSet. Analysts at MKM Partners last week maintained their neutral rating on the stock due to uncertainty over housing demand and pricing.
PVH is forecast to earn $1.49 a share in the first quarter. "The turnaround efforts for the CK jeans and underwear segments are well under way. We believe PVH's strategy remains intact, with a framework in place to drive long-term growth in both its Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses," Robert Drbul, an analyst at Nomura, said in a report.
Five Below is likely to post first-quarter earnings of 6 cents a share.
Late Tuesday, Tibco Software said it expects second-quarter per share earnings between break even and a penny and revenue of $250 million to $252 million. On an adjusted basis, it forecast per-share earnings of 12 cents to 13 cents, significantly below analysts' estimate of 21 cents a share. Shares of Tibco fell 13% in after-hours trading.

Fed Officials Growing Wary of Market Complacency: "Federal Reserve officials, looking out at mostly calm financial markets, are starting to wonder whether tranquility itself is something to worry about."
ECB Seen Ready to Tackle Low Inflation: "The European Central Bank is poised to act against very low inflation after months of delay, amid mounting evidence that weak prices are undermining the euro zone's recovery from its debt crisis."

Washington Waterfall
2:06 pm
Wed February 12, 2014
House Bill Designates Palouse Falls As Official State Waterfall
Washington would have an official state waterfall under a measure passed by the House.
House Bill 2119 passed unanimously Wednesday. It would designate Palouse Falls in southeastern Washington as the official state waterfall.
Palouse Falls is located within Palouse Falls State Park about 69 miles northeast of Pasco, Wash. The falls drop about 200 feet from an upper to lower falls while the surrounding canyon is about 377 feet deep.
The falls and canyon were created by ice age floods from Lake Missoula that swept across eastern Washington 15,000 years ago, according to information from the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission. The falls were eventually named Palouse Falls to commemorate the Palouse Native American culture.
The bill heads to the Senate for consideration.

Definition of Cultural Revolution in English:
Cultural Revolution
A political upheaval in China 1966–76 intended to bring about a return to revolutionary Maoist beliefs. Largely carried forward by the Red Guard, it resulted in attacks on intellectuals, a large-scale purge in party posts, and the appearance of a personality cult around Mao Zedong. It led to considerable economic dislocation and was gradually brought to a halt by premier Zhou Enlai.

text: I am writing in regard to the most recent attacks made by Bob Newell on those who apparently don't agree with him. In this particular case, members of the Parkersburg Police Civil Service Commission. Most people do not know the function of a civil service commission; however, I have done research and know they are supposed to be an independent board operating without the influences of political pressure. The commission oversees the testing procedures for entry level police officers to ensure everyone is treated fairly. They administer promotional examinations within the police department; again to ensure everyone is treated fairly and political influences does not rear its ugly head. They also act as a three panel judge on disciplinary actions, be it terminations, time off or reduction in rank. Thus they again are supposed to be honest, fair and act without outside political influences.

Being a happy-dictionary-user I would love it if Django gave them more support. Two opportunities spring into mind:
- Model.objects.filter(id=1).values() does not support many-to-many fields. I feel like it should do so and return their ids as a list, like in: 'key': [1, 2, 3] . Because many-to-many fields are in the declaration of the model, and in the .filter()-results, I believe they should be represented in the .values()-dictionary as well.
- I really miss .values() in Model.objects.get(id=1), which to me seems asymmetric.
Thanks for giving this a thought. For me, dictionaries and lists are a very friendly and native way of handling data in Python. They can easily represent complex data structures while staying comprehensible. I hope they make you happy too.

"Django doesn't use my favourite language feature enough" isn't really a bug report.
The first part is a upe of #5768 and it isn't nearly as simple as it looks on the surface. The second part doesn't need anything done, since filter(id=1).values(...)[0] works exactly as expected.
Going to mark as a duplicate for the first part, but we're suffering from the usual problem that when two different things are in a single ticket, no single resolution works.

It would be nice to document under values() that it does not work with get(), and the workaround using filter().

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's speech at a session of the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) in Strasbourg has been met by protests.
Azerbaijani activists living in Europe came to the PACE parliamentary session on June 24 wearing T-shirts with pictures of political prisoners in Azerbaijan and had their mouths covered with black tape.
They protested Aliyev's statement at the session that "all fundamental freedoms are respected in Azerbaijan."
Several Reporters Without Borders activists held a similar protest in front of PACE headquarters.
Aliyev stated at the session that reforms in Azerbaijan "allow Azerbaijani citizens to practice any political activities" and called on EU officials to "avoid double standards."
On June 23, Human Rights Watch called on the Council of Europe and PACE to urge Aliyev to end his country's persecution of government critics and journalists.

Reid was introduced to SUP while living in Naples, Florida and immediately enjoyed catching waves in the gulf. Once he learned about SUP racing, he was hooked on the sport and started competing in area races. A quick learner with natural ability, Reid already has several strong finishes under his belt including second place in the 2011 Cold Stroke Classic and 2011 Mayors Cup, fourth in the 2011 Pacifico Paddle Challenge and third place in the 2011 GCSUPC, all in the 12'6″ Division.
Originally from King, North Carolina, Reid is now a graduate student in Fisheries at Auburn University, studying the impacts of the 2010 BP oil spill on estuarine fishes along the Alabama coastline. For Reid, SUP offers the perfect combination of being out on the water communing with nature, as well as getting to meet all of the wonderful people that make up the SUP community. Reid has fit right into the YOLO Board family and is looking forward to racing in new locales and spreading the YOLO stoke.
When not paddling or working, Reid enjoys spending time with his parents and younger brother, photography, snowboarding, surfing, and pretty much anything else that is outdoors and active.
Anyone who does their best to preserve and conserve the natural ecosystems that fill our planet with beauty and wonder.
What would you consider your greatest achievement?
Getting into graduate school to further my career and hopefully make a difference in the world one day, by preserving marine resources.
How would you describe your style?
Laid back, whatever is comfortable and I like.
What is your idea of a perfect day?
My perfect day consists of camping on a pristine barrier island with fun people enjoying the salt air, ocean, and being unplugged for just a little while.
In what place do you feel most inspired?
Standing on a SUP in the middle of the open ocean, realizing just how small we all are.
What's your motto in life?
Don't stress be happy and enjoy life whether it is work, play, or a blending of the two.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Giants center fielder Aaron Rowand is rifling through a huge cardboard box filled with stacks of envelopes.
"There's one in here somewhere," he says.
Inside the envelopes are baseball cards: glossy ones, old-school ones, tough-guy portrait shots and others frozen in action. One card even has a swatch of his game-used jersey stuck to it. Players receive dozens of cards every day from autograph-seeking collectors, and Rowand usually gets around to signing them.
But, on this day, he doesn't have his pen out.
A half-hour and a few paper cuts later, Rowand finds his prize. It's a 2002 Upper Deck card that shows him in a Chicago White Sox jersey, pinned against the blue wall at Comiskey Park, the ball squeezed tightly in his glove. His body is contorted, like a boxer absorbing a punch.
With card in hand, Rowand gleefully bounds from his chair, peels off a piece of masking tape and affixes the card to Randy Winn's locker.
"Wait till he sees this," Rowand said.
Winn strolls past and instantly recognizes the catch. Of course, he hit the ball.
It was hard to forget. Rowand made the catch to preserve a no-hitter in the seventh inning. He also separated his shoulder on the play. It was Aug. 6. 2001, and he'd been in the big leagues for seven weeks. It was the first of many fence-crashing moments that would endear him to fans and teammates in Chicago and later Philadelphia.
"I just remember thinking, 'That's an extra-base hit,' " said Winn, who was with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at the time.
"Next thing I know, I'm turning and going back to the dugout."
Rowand immediately came out of the game and flipped on a TV in the trainer's room. Two batters later, Chris Gomez doubled to break up Danny Wright's no-hitter.
"I was like, 'You've got to be kidding me,' " Rowand said.
"That's the way he was," said Ray Durham, who was the White Sox's second baseman when Rowand broke in. "We had to have a meeting, tell him to turn it down. He was running into walls during batting practice."
Some players collect memories. Some collect memorabilia. Some collect scars.
Rowand collects them all. He has over 30,000 cards from his youth stored in his parents' garage, and a room full of autographed jerseys stashed away in his Las Vegas home.
But his most prized possession is actually a football. His wife, Marianne, bought him a Walter Payton-autographed ball for his birthday in 2002. It was the perfect gift for Rowand, who connected with Payton as early as age 5. He might have been the biggest Chicago Bears fan in Southern California.
"They had a great team in '85, they did the "Super Bowl Shuffle" and that was it," Rowand said. "That's been my team ever since."
Rowand got to know the Bears players after he made his major league debut with the White Sox. A few months after the Sox won the World Series in 2005, Rowand was invited to toss the coin before a Bears-Packers game at Soldier Field. He was stunned at how big Brett Favre looked up close.
After the toss, the captains walked back to the bench and the umpire walked away.
"It was the coolest thing," Rowand said. "I was standing at the 50-yard line all by myself. The coin was still on the ground, so I kind of looked around, picked it up and shoved it in my pocket real quick."
Rowand only regrets never being able to meet Payton, who died in 1999 of a rare liver disease. It's easy to understand why Rowand connected with Payton, whose autobiography was titled "Never Die Easy" and who often took a punishing hit near the sideline for the sake of an extra yard.
Rowand has met Payton's widow and son. He also has some unpublished 8x10s from Payton's personal photographer that show him in candid moments.
But the ball is what means the most to him.
"I remember living in the city racking my brain what to get him that year," Marianne Rowand said. "He's one of those guys who collects everything.
"But I'm surprised he said it's his most prized possession," she added with a laugh. "I'd have guessed the Aston Martin he got for his 30th birthday. . . . I guess I did pretty good back in '02."
Winn is happy to have his own piece of Rowand's collection.
"He told me every time he signs one, it's a good reminder," Winn said. "Hey, that sounds pretty good to me. It's better than a card that shows you bunting. I've got a lot of those."

That is the question analysts are pondering regarding the post-recession increase in the ratio of private inventories to gross domestic product (GDP). The ratio measures the value of inventories held by businesses, from manufacturers to retailers, to facilitate trade and economic activity.
Over the last forty years, the ratio has steadily declined. There are a number of causes for this secular trend. First, was the skyrocketing of interest rates during the 1970s. Higher interest rates raise the opportunity cost for businesses of holding inventories, whether financed (through loans) or paid for in cash. Double digit interest rates significantly eroded gross margins (the difference between an item's sales price and the cost to the business of buying or making the good). Self-preservation induced firms to slash inventory levels in order to survive.
The steadily declining cost of information technology was the second driving force. Cheaper (and smaller) computers allowed businesses to begin to monitor (in almost real time) the flow of items from the shipping dock, to the factory floor, to the warehouse and onto the end customer. Finally, the emergence and diffusion of lean manufacturing techniques and just-in-time inventory control created a new global standard for businesses - not just in goods producing industries but in the distribution chain (wholesaling and retailing) as well.
The result: the quantity or value of inventories needed to support or accommodate one dollar of economic activity has declined precipitously since the 1970s. For businesses — individually and in the aggregate — the inventory squeeze has reduced financing needs while bolstering profitability.
Will firms push inventory levels to zero? No. While theoretically feasible, the objective is not practically desirable. Businesses hold inventories as a buffer between production and sales. While a manufacturer can schedule production, it can rarely plan sales. If an item is unavailable, a buyer will try another outlet. It is this opportunity cost — of a lost sale and a disappointed client — that businesses manage through inventories.
But there are expenses associated with holding inventories. The financing expense is just one: warehousing, insurance and shrinkage (theft) are other costs a business must consider when striking a balance with the opportunity cost of a lost sale. Then there is obsolescence. Goods sought by consumers yesterday may be rendered worthless by technology or changing tastes tomorrow. No category is spared — all are subject to consumers' fickle fashions.
In computing GDP, an increase in inventories contributes to economic growth. No distinction is drawn between a voluntary increase (an investment to meet future expected demand) and an involuntary rise (caused when final sales slow). The latter is an important mechanism in recessions. Initially, when sales weaken, a business may be loathed to cut back production or purchases. But as sales continue to falter and stocks rise, firms will cancel orders or curtail production. This is how faltering demand translates into reduced supply (and higher unemployment).
Inventory ratios thus provide a barometer of an economy's future resiliency over a business cycle. Low ratios mean the supply chain is tight, whereas high ratios imply there is slack. The former suggests future orders will probably rise (to replenish diminished stocks), while the latter implies the opposite. In the current environment, the financing cost of holding inventory is at historical lows. And, the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan highlighted the vulnerably of a taut global supply chain. In the disaster's aftermath, firms opted to increase buffer stocks. These possible explanations aside, analysts at the moment are still trying to divine if this reversal of a secular trend is voluntary or involuntary.

We had great stay at appartement. Room was small and no window but comfortable. it was bit difficult to get fresh air. But it was good stay for couple of days in Barcelona! By walk it takes around twenty minutes from the city centre and beach. The nearest Metro Station is only five to seven minutes by walk. Julian was really friendly and he guide us in our trip.
Thank you for the great stay!
We had great stay at Lore y Julian's appartement. Although the room is really small it is comfortable. Everything is kept clean. The onlay disadvantage of the room is the fact, that there's just a window which leads to the inner yard, so it's a bit difficult to get fresh air. But it's perfect for a stay of a couple of days in Barcelona!
By feet it is about twenty minutes from the city centre, less if you use the public traffic. The next Metro Station is just five minutes by walk away, so you can easily reach any place.
Lore y Julian are both really friendly and will give you support by planning your trip. We felt really welcomed. Thank you for the great stay!
We had a great stay with Lore and Julian. They we very friendly when we first got there and made us feel like we were at home. They kept out of our way after that, letting us have our space but certainly were available if we had questions. I would definitely recommend the room, because although it is small, it is big enough for a vacation and you will feel very comfortable here!
The location is great, pretty close to the main station (Sants). It is easy to get to the touristy area if you are willing to walk!
We had a great time at Lore i Julian. The apartment is really cozy and furnished with style. The room, despite the fact that is small and doesn't have any window outside, is really confortable and it's exacly what you need after a walk through Barcelona. We would recommend the apartment of Lore and Julian.
We really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona. Lore and Julian were really nice to us and even provided extra information about how to move around, tours, etc. The room is small but comfortable and perfect if you are planning to enjoy more of your time in the city. The rest of the facilities (kitchen, living room, etc.) are also at your disposal. Even though the bathroom was shared, we didn't have any troubles with that. The location was perfect, close to metro and bus stations and near the city center.
Great place to stay in Barcelona in area really close to the main city center and all attractions! The owner is extremely nice and helpful. We spent a wonderful time and rested as we wanted. Place to spend time is perfect and I would like to everyone boldly recommend you. Barcelona is great! Thank you for the warm welcome Loren us under your roof. Best Regards with big wishes ! :)
Accomodation was fine, host friendly and helpfull. Location was fairly close to the metro station which was nice.
this flat for the price is perfect. well located (between plz. espana and plz. universidad) for plaza catalogna is 20mins walk so we prefered use the bus (the bus and tube have a really well service and is cheap as well). back to the house, well is exactly like the picture, perfect for an holiday. lore and his boyfriend are really friendly and helpful, and barcellona was amazing..!! :-)
Everything was ok - no problems at all.
Casa muy limpia y muy bien decorada. Julián y Lorena son muy amables, respetuosos y silenciosos. Si tienes alguna duda te la aclaran muy bien. Nos ha gustado mucho estar con ellos!

text: My grocery store was completely out of one pound packages of the boneless skinless chicken breasts I buy each week- the kind in the meat section, not frozen. Instead, I had to buy two pounds, which is way more than DH and I need this week. Can I freeze half of the package- thinking this isn't any different from when I buy frozen chicken breasts, but I have absolutely no idea. Suggestions?

We aim to gain an integrated view of how a simple eukaryotic cell, the baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, works. Yeast was the first eukaryote to have its genome completely sequenced and we are determining how its 6,000 genes interact to allow it to grow, divide, develop, and respond to environmental changes . This integrative view of yeast should provide an important 'navigational aid' to guide our studies of the more complex genomes of humans, crop plants, and farm animals.
Our work involves both experiments with living cells and the construction of mathematical models of pathways and networks for use in computer simulations that generate predictions that we can test in vivo. These predictions include how genes interact in metabolism, which is essential to engineering novel pathways in yeast using synthetic biology. They also enable us to automate the process of generating hypotheses, designing and executing experiments, and evaluating data. This "Robot Scientist" approach enabled the discovery of novel scientific knowledge by a machine, without human intervention.
The models and experimental systems we use with yeast sometimes lead us in unexpected directions, such as predicting the impact of gene copy number variation in cancer, constructing network models to identify genes important in Alzheimer's Disease, or using yeast 'surrogates' to screen for drugs against parasitic diseases .

Human Resources
The group is patterned after the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), the national organization for health information management professionals.
SHIIMA's purpose is to provide service to the school, community and profession; to promote the profession; to promote involvement in scholastic and professional aspects of the field; and to provide the opportunity for fellowship among students.
SHIIMA's inaugural class of officers includes Renita Boyer, president, Carmen Hancock, vice president, Edwina Porter, treasurer, and Robbie Randolph, secretary.
All of the officers are returning adult students. Boyer already had a background in healthcare and business. When she decided to return to school, Boyer looked into several areas of nonclinical healthcare, but when she read about the changing environment in healthcare, she decided that health information and informatics management was right for her.
"It allowed me the opportunity to remain in the field I love and also gave me the opportunity to use the management skills I have gained over the years. It's a perfect fit for me."
Faculty advisers for SHIIMA are Donna Francis-Clark, program chair, and Anne Winston, assistant professor. According to Francis-Clark, SHIIMA members will benefit from guest speakers, workshops, professional association meetings, and opportunities to network with fellow students, faculty, advisers and alumni.
Another purpose of the organization is to provide support and guidance to students who are considering a career in health information and informatics management. "I am excited that SHIIMA will be here to answer the hard questions for students who have made the choice and those who are still undecided on a major," said Boyer.
TCC offers an 18-credit hour certificate in health informatics and a 34-credit hour certificate in medical coding and billing. The College also offers an Associate in Science degree in health information technology, which includes both the certificates and takes about two years to complete. Together, these programs prepare students for employment as medical record technicians, health information technicians, medical coders, electronic health records managers, and other growing occupations. "TCC's HIIM programs offer the education we need to fill the positions that the health care industry will need to fill for years to come," said Boyer.
For information about opportunities in TCC's Health Information & Informatics Management programs, contact Donna Francis-Clark at (850) 201-8328 or email@example.com.

An Enemy of the People
by Henrik Ibsen
An Enemy of the People Theme of Politics
The conflict of An Enemy of the People is a tense political battle. The tug and pull of political turf wars help drive the action of the play. Though all the politics we see represented in the play exist strictly on a local level, national issues are addressed as well. Also, the patterns of local politics often echo the larger patterns that exist of the national level. An Enemy of the People is an unblinking portrayal of the cutthroat world of political maneuverings.
Questions About Politics
- Describe the interplay between conservative and progressive ideas in this play. Does it relate to today's political climate? If so, how? If not, why not?
- Do political pressures seem to influence what the media (the newspaper) decides to report? If so, why is this important? If not, what is influencing what is reported?
- Is the Doctor's decision to stand up to the political world of his town selfish or selfless?
- What might Ibsen be saying about democracy in the scene where the Doctor is voted an "enemy of the people"?
Chew on This
Try on an opinion or two, start a debate, or play the devil's advocate.
The play displays politics as something both corrupt and petty.
Politics, though flawed, are a powerful force whose favor one's success often depends upon.

Former DMN reporter's book puts Obama stimulus plan under the microscope
A close reading of the record would reveal that I have, on very rare occasions, used this space to mention — some might say plug — a book by a friend in the journalism business.
This is one of those occasions.
Michael Grabell, a former staff writer for The Dallas Morning News and now in investigative reporter at ProPublica, is the author of Money Well Spent? The Truth Behind the Trillion-Dollar Stimulus, the Biggest Economic Recovery Plan in History.
The book, which comes out today, is a political and economic history of President Obama's stimulus plan. Michael attempts to go beyond the charged rhetoric of both Democrats and Republicans to present a balanced account of just how taxpayers' money was spent, and to what effect, in a government effort that cost more than the Louisiana Purchase, the Manhattan Project, the moon race, or the Marshall Plan.
Writing about his findings in Sunday's New York Post, Michael says the stimulus plan accomplished much. It created or saved more than 2 million jobs. It "generated an unprecedented buzz around clean energy." It resulted in improvements to more than 41,000 miles of roads. It brought high-speed Internet access to more than 3,000 rural schools.
"But despite these achievements," he writes, "the stimulus ultimately failed to do what America expected it to do — bring about a strong, sustainable recovery. … What I found is that the stimulus failed to live up to its promise not because it was too small (as those on the left argue) or because Keynesian economics is obsolete (as those on the right argue), but because it was poorly designed."
Michael also discussed the book last week on National Public Radio's Fresh Air. Here's a summary of that appearance, with a link to the audio of the full interview.


text: "Teen Alcoholics in Love" would be a more accurate title for "The Spectacular Now" (A24), a coming-of-age saga that paints a disturbing picture of high-school life in small-town America. Based on the novel by Tim Tharp and directed by James Ponsoldt (who tackled another drinking theme in 2012's "Smashed"), the film—a familiar story of good girl meets popular but flawed guy—takes an indifferent stance toward a multitude of sins as it charts the romance between these attracted opposites.Over the course of much angst, the audience wonders whether she will redeem him before he has the chance to corrupt her. High school has never seemed so complicated. Sutter (Miles Teller) is the most popular senior in school, with not a care in the world. He prefers to live—and party—in the moment (the "now" which he finds "spectacular"), rather than accept any responsibility or plan for his future, let alone graduate.His fecklessness repels his longtime girlfriend Cassidy (Brie Larson), who has the good sense to want more out of life. Sutter is also an alcoholic, forever sipping from a cup of "soda" fortified with booze from his hip flask, drifting through each day in a drunken fog. Worse still, everyone around him seems to be aware of his problem, but excuses his addiction because of his sunny personality. After an all-night bender, Sutter is found, unconscious, on a stranger's front lawn by Aimee (Shailene Woodley), who thinks he's dead.Prince Charming awakens, however, and Aimee is besotted. Aimee has never had a boyfriend, yet the Big Man on Campus has just landed in her lap. Aimee, a dreamer who longs for companionship, ignores all the red-flag signals that should tell her to flee. Sutter leads her on but is also intrigued by her goodness. Both of them come from troubled backgrounds, but Aimee works to support her widowed mom, while Sutter is consistently enabled by his mother, divorced nurse Sara (Jennifer Jason Leigh).Over tutoring sessions and rolls in the hay, Aimee plans their future together, while Sutter buys her a flask. Fortunately, Aimee keeps her wits (if not her sobriety), and gently encourages Sutter to mend his selfish ways. First, Sutter must confront the past, and his absent father (Kyle Chandler). Sara has done everything in her power to prevent contact, and for good reason. For Dad is revealed to be a grown-up version of his son, a drunk and drifter, life of the local bar and not interested in anyone but himself.This should be an epiphany for Sutter, but "The Spectacular Now" has more drama in store, including an ambiguous ending. The movie inhabits an irritating judgment-free zone, which works only so long Aimee is sober and able to keep a grip on the moral compass. The film contains underage drinking, nongraphic, nonmarital, possibly underage sexual activity and occasional profane and crude language. The Catholic News Service classification is L—limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R—restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.*****Joseph McAleer is a guest reviewer for Catholic News Service.
