Alternative to Istanbul in Turkey?

Quiet, non-lux living along the Mediterranean this summer: where to?
My wife and I would like to rent a simple furnished apartment or small house somewhere along the Mediterranean this summer, for about a month. We just want a place where we can do some writing and go swimming every day. The catch is that we don't have much more than 500€ or so to pay for rent. Seeking recommendations for countries, specific islands, towns or villages, or website recommendations! [more inside]
Should we still go to Istanbul?
My partner and I have a one-week trip booked to Istanbul over the new year. We've been receiving a lot of flak about going from both sides of our family to the point where we are very seriously considering cancelling our trip. Our parents are worried about acts of terrorism such as bombings and shootings (things we feel could happen anywhere), as well as extremely unlikely scenarios like being kidnapped by ISIS. My partner's mother has expressly asked us not to go. [more inside]
Advanced Istanbul
I'll be spending 2 full days in Istanbul at the end of this month. It's my 5th time in this city; I think I've done all the touristy, central Istanbul things over the past three years.

next summer vacation location
We are planning a long-awaited big summer vacation for July/August 2015.

For various reasons, I'm wondering if you could suggest other options. I've included a list of our desired trip components and would love specific suggestions! [more inside]

The economics of adaptation to climate change: the case of Germany
Given the ubiquitous scarcity of resources an economic approach is necessary in order to determine an optimal strategy of adaptation to climate change. In this paper we develop an economic framework for the study of adaptation which allows us to distinguish between decentralized adaptation by private agents on the one hand and centralized adaptation measures by public authorities on the other. The approach is based on the paradigm of market failure and is complemented by two further grounds of government action, equity concerns and security of supply. We identify open research questions in the nascent field of adaptation to climate change requiring further empirical investigation. The economic framework is applied to adaptation in Germany by analyzing impacts and adaptation options for climate-sensitive fields such as agriculture, energy, water, and public health.

Ronaldo spent six years under Fergie at Manchester United after arriving from Sporting Lisbon in 2003 and has worked under Mourinho for the past couple of seasons since 'The Special One' was installed as Real coach in 2010.
"It's not fair to say, it's like comparing a Ferrari with a Porsche," Ronaldo said in The Sun newspaper.
"Both are very good, very experienced and both like to win - and I mean to win everything. That's why they have both been champions many, many times."
Ronaldo faces former team United for the first time since leaving for Madrid in 2009 in a world record £80 million deal when the two clubs meet in the Champions League.
"Manchester was my home and still is in my heart. I love it," said Ronaldo. "Because when people treat you very well you never forget that.
"And I will never forget United, the people who work there and the supporters. For me it will be a pleasure, a real pleasure.
"Of course I know there will be a lot of attention on me but for me there is no pressure, no pressure at all.
"It is only a game, just a football match against my old club. I'm not going to war, I'm going home - and I am really looking forward to it.
"On the day of the draw I was out training and I had this strong feeling that we were going to get Manchester United.
"And when the draw was made I was very happy. It's a tough match of course - Madrid and United are the two biggest clubs in the world and it's a real 50-50. It could go either way."

But not 'til this fall so you don't actually get to purchase the teeny bikini shown here. Hennes & Mauritz, or H&M, or "achay y emmeh" as it will always be known to me as my first H&M visit was in Madrid where I was living, will open its 24,000-square-foot outpost in the Domain in the fall, offering women's, men's, children's (newborn to 8), accessories, maternity, and lingerie.
There are 6 H&Ms within the state of Texas and more than 2,500 stores in 44 markets around the world.
This announcement simply confirms the rumors that have long swirled around the city. While I do advocate good shopping by shopping locally, resale, and all that Austin-y stuff, it is nice to have access to affordable, trendy pieces—and there are some great designer collabs coming up! Get excited!

"When Mohammad Kolahi wanted to replace his French Peugeot sedan this year, the Tehran business consultant looked east instead of west. A friend was already driving a JAC J5, an Italian-designed four-door assembled in Iran for Chinese carmaker Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Co. Kolahi paid 570 million rials ($20,300) for an automatic-transmission version about a month ago -- or about 30 percent less than other comparable new cars he considered... As Western automakers prepare to re-enter the Middle East's highest-volume car market, they'll find a landscape changed by new competitors from China. Led by Chery Automobiles Co., Lifan Industry Group Co. and Jianghuai, the Chinese have benefited from the vacuum left by the likes of PSA Peugeot Citroen, which once counted Iran as its biggest market outside France. The Chinese will probably boost their share of the Iranian market from about 1 percent in 2011 to about 9 percent of 1.17 million units in 2016, according to researcher IHS Automotive... Chery, Lifan and Jianghuai all have local partners that build cars in Iran from kits shipped from China. Chinese companies' share of this segment also more than quadrpled to 8 percent between 2011 and last year, IHS estimates." (Bloomberg, "China Carmakers Will Challenge West in Iran When Sanctions Lift," 4/15/15)
"'Countries that continue to support Iran's automotive sector are indirectly supporting the Iranian regime," Carleton said. "The entire world should take note that Iran's automotive sector is now under U.S. sanctions, due to President Obama's Executive Order.' Since a lot of car manufacturing companies have left Iran due to sanctions imposed on the Islamic Republic, according to Carleton despite the threat of sanctions, Chinese companies like Chery Automobile are attempting to fill the vacuum in the Iranian automotive sector once filled by European, Japanese, and Korean companies. 'This is unfortunate and irresponsible, however it is doubtful that these new players will be able to sufficiently make up for the exodus of the world's leading auto manufacturers and their superior products from Iran,' Carleton underscored. ISNA news agency reported in August of this year that Iranian car manufacturer will be manufacturing a Chinese car, which is based on a Japanese car model. Earlier in August Iranian media outlets informed about an agreement among two major Iranian auto production companies and Chinese auto companies on production of Chinese cars in Iran. According to the agreement, each of the Iranian two car production companies will manufacture one Chinese car model in their subsidiaries." (Trend, "Iraq, other countries should bar imports of Iranian cars until Iran halts nuclear program - UANI," 9/12/13)
"Chery has a big U.S. partner, too. On July 4 last year Chery signed an agreement to co-produce economy cars with Chrysler, and on Dec. 18, Xinhua, the official Chinese news agency, reported that Chrysler would start selling Chery-made sedans under the Dodge brand in Mexico very soon. The Chrysler alliance is starting small, with Chrysler selling the Chery-made under the Chrysler brand, Dodge. Chery's business outside China more than doubled last year. The company opened a factory in Iran in 2003, a plant in Russia in 2006, and a plant in Egypt in 2006." (Business Week, "China Autos: Chery Keeps Accelerating," 1/07/08)
"China's biggest domestic automaker, Chery, is opening a factory in Iran, expanding its fast-growing foreign ties soon after announcing ventures with Chrysler and Fiat." (Associated Press, "China's chery to open auto factory in Iran," 8/18/07)

French fashion house Hermes was recently blasted on the New York City-based blog, The Awl, for selling a T-shirt with a heart-attack inducing price tag of US$91,500 at its men's store on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. And that is not to include sales tax that would be around US$8000. According to the author, Choire Sicha, the pricey shirt hangs unobtrusively on one of the store's shelves among other Hermes merchandise with more down-to-earth prices.
Sicha described the tee as "made out of crocodile leather, luxurious and beautifully sewn." He didn't try it on but he thinks it is "rather uncomfortable, and perhaps a little heavy, for a t-shirt." Read more

Product Overview
Lifesize is a brand new diet with a unique twist on portion control. We're revolutionary because we don't change what you eat - we don't change what's in your refrigerator, and we don't take away your pizza or ice cream or McDonald's. We show you how to lose weight quickly and easily eating the food you're already eating at home and in restaurants. The secret to Lifesize is that after 30 years of research we have developed ?magical? portions for all the foods Americans love to eat. The Lifesize portions are perfect in that they are small enough so that people will lose weight, but they are big enough to leave people satisfied so they don't walk around starving. Lifesize is the first complete portion control program and the Lifesize kit comes with several different ways for you to learn it. You get a Lifesize book on CD, but even better, you also get our entertaining David's that not only show you the right portion sizes of food to eat, but also teaches you how many Lifesize portions to eat in a meal and how many portions to eat in a day. And to finally make portion control simple for people to do, we designed and patented easy-to-use tools so that you can measure out the perfect portions of all your food every time you eat. No weighing or visualizing. And no memorizing either, because all the Lifesize portions are listed on a very easy-to-read and very colorful Lifesize wall chart. And Lifesizing is so simple, you'll be able to eyeball the Lifesize portions for all the food you eat even when you eat out at a restaurant. No pills, powders, drinks, supplements or pre-packaged foods to buy. You just have to eat all the foods you love exactly the way you love them. That's not a sales pitch. That's a requirement so that you never feel deprived like on all the other diets you've tried. That's why we call Lifesize the non-diet diet. And that's why Lifesize is the last diet you'll ever start.

Whippet Express Coach
11,297pages on
this wiki
this wiki
Whippet Express Coach is a coach company based in Vice City in 1986 and Liberty City from 1998 to 2001.
Vice CityTo earn $5 bonus per passenger boarding at bus stops marked with signs on poles, the protagonist can operate either a Bullet Bus & Coach Line or a Whippet Express Coach along either the West Island M1 or East Island M2 route (miniature route map pictured at right.) Hint: Stop with sign between wheel and door for quickest boarding. Passengers can board anywhere, but must contact the bus stop sign before boarding. There need not be passengers standing in line behind the bus stop sign pole, any NPC wandering nearby is likely to board and pay the $5 bonus fare, and there is no penalty for waiting any length of time at a stop for stragglers. When the player operates the bus, passengers do not disembark. When NPC operates three passengers often disembark from each side.
Liberty City
The name could be a reference to the 1980 hit new wave song Whip It by Devo, but is most likely a parody of Greyhound Bus, as the Whippet and the Greyhound are two breeds of lean dogs bred for their speed and endurance.
- There is a real-life bus company named "Whippet Coaches" (trading as "Go Whippet") based in Cambridgeshire, England.

The guys over at ScrumPrimer put together something neat for the anime in you.
Don't like green? Download the blue or pink version below! 🙂
I believe that any 'independent consultant' or type of individual is an entreprenuer. It takes guts, gumption, and desire to go off on your own and build your own brand and take on all the risk. It's scary and rewarding at the same time. Like driving 140+mph on a motorcycle. It's scary but thrilling at the same time (not that I've ever done that…).
Entrepreneurs also have great ideas… good entrepreneurs share those ideas with others to get feedback. Sometimes though, you need a bit of a Non Disclosure Agreement to keep things kosher. How about a 'lite' version?
Found one.
www.friendda.org – Love it. Perfect for using when you have an idea to share with others. Some highlights (italics mine) below:
This agreement is entered into this ___ day of ___ 20__ by and between _____________ (hereinafter "The Advisor") and _____________ (hereinafter "The Keeper of the Idea" or "I") regarding information The Keeper of The Idea is choosing to share with The Advisor (hereinafter "The Idea").
WHEREAS I possess a bright idea that I am choosing to disclose to you, The Advisor, with the mutual understanding that you are my friend and that you will not screw me.
Manners of screwing include, but are not limited to:
This is a "warm blanket" agreement with which, by requesting your agreement to it, I am helping myself sleep at night by placing a small amount of formality on the sharing of The Idea. I believe The Idea will only improve as a result of having solicited your honest and clear feedback.
The term of this agreement shall continue until The Idea is no longer confidential.
This agreement has absolutely no legal binding. However, upon breach or violation of the agreement, I will feel free to do any of the following:

What Agile buzzwords have you heard on the street that kind of just irks you?
[I was recently asked what my journey to become a CST was like. So like an Agile blogger, I told them to wait for it to post on AgileScout.com 🙂 ]
The path to becoming a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) is one of the most arduous yet rewarding experiences I have ever gone through (and I spent 7 years in Master's programs!). It has not only stretched me, but brought about a greater understanding of "mastery" of a craft, that, no matter how good you 'think' you become at something, you can always improve, become better, learn more, and grow as a person.
The day you stop learning is day you become ineffective in your work.
I began my journey to becoming a Certified Scrum Trainer back in early 2009 when I began my investigation into the process and started collaborating with other CST's about co-training opportunities. This was a time when the CST application process was evolving (and still is) and the requirements and application process wasn't fully fleshed out. I, at the time, had been in my 8th year as an independent Enterprise Agile Coach and felt like the CST was the right way to go. I had completed my Certified ScrumMaster designation and my Certified Scrum Professional designation previously.
In early 2009 I had my first co-training opportunity with a fellow Agile coach. They went very well. I was stoked. I was excited. I had gotten a great review and was given priceless advice on how to become better. I felt like the CST was fast becoming a reality. I flew out to meet my 2nd co-trainer and we trained together. Another great workshop. I felt great… Then:
A full year later, I still had yet to co-train with other coaches and trainers. My client list was full, my schedule was so tight that it became apparent to me that I may not be able to finish this race due to scheduling conflicts and overall timing not to mention funding from the CFO of my house (wife). I was burnt out, tired, and a bit frustrated.
It was all about the timing. It just didn't seem to work. So what did I do? I made the tough choice to lighten my client load (OUCH! SCARY!) so I could open up opportunities to co-train. I made the time available, I reached out to friends and fellow Agile coaches for time slots, and I invited Agile coaches to come train with me at my client sites. I patiently prayed that the opportunities would come… and they did.
After a full 3.5 years I completed it… The road to becoming an official CST was complete… but the journey forward has just begun. YES!

You can't please everyone. We often hear that sometimes the best career move someone made was a move made for them… getting fired… in turn it jumpstarted their career.
Maybe, for you, reader… the best thing you can do is make a BIG change. Life is short. Too damn short. Take smart risks. Try the un-tried. Do something fantastic.

I recently had a dinner after a long day with a client. I let the steakhouse I was dining at know that I would be 'shacking' up for a while. They said "Ok… … …" And so I did.
What was most amazing during this time was that halfway through my lobster and steak dinner a random woman came up to me and asked:
"Hey, are you a ScrumMaster???"
Woah. I was super impressed! Then we had a great conversation. She knew I was doing SOMETHING agile… because of the sticky notes. Duh.
Agile coaches really need stock in 3M. We could game the market.
"I'll check with the team to see if we can squeeze that change into the current release."
"I'll check to see whether the lead developer will say "no" or "hell no."
"I think it would be beneficial to streamline the requirements and redefine the user stories."
"These user stories strung together read like the plot of "The Hangover II."
"This delivery schedule appears to be very aggressive."
"We can meet your timeline if HR will sign off on letting us chain the development staff to their desks and beat them with sticks until the 15th of the month."

ALBANY -- The agency that regulates New York City's upstate water supplies says boat rental companies can now store canoes and kayaks along four reservoirs in the Catskills.
The city Department of Environmental Protection says that's a first and should help promote tourism in the area.
It says about a dozen businesses are apparently interested in setting up shop on the Cannonsville, Pepacton, Neversink and Schoharie reservoirs.
The DEP has already arranged for 30 racks, each of which would hold four boats, and will be taking proposals from businesses.
Another benefit is that the boats won't have to be steam-cleaned to prevent the spread of invasive species since they won't be used elsewhere.
Personal boats brought to the reservoirs must be cleaned. All boaters must get DEP permits before hitting the water.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel deLuxe Portland
1930's Hollywood Glamour in 21st century Portland
What a great experience we had while visiting Portland. The hotel was amazing! I absolutely loved the decor. Our room wasn't large, but it didn't need to be. The bed was so comfortable, especially after a long day of walking around town. The shower was also wonderful; I loved the subway tile and the rain shower head. The staff was brand new, but so helpful and knowledgeable. They went above and beyond -- answering all of my questions about Portland and giving great walking and driving directions. Annie Cooper at Guest Services was especially helpfully. The hotel is conveniently located, we did not need our car once, we just walked out the front door and started exploring the city. If you prefer to stay inside they have cool flat screen tv's and ipod docking stations. They will even lend you an ipod if you forgot yours at home.
Thank You-- I will definitely stay there next time I visit Portland.
Great opening of grand hotel
We stayed at the new Hotel Deluxe (formerly the Mallory) the first three nights it was open in May. The decor, ambiance, and service were all wonderful. While things were a little hectic the first few nights, the staff made every effort to accomodate us and make us comfortable. Our standard queen room wasn't large, but the floor to ceiling drapes, large windows and light airy colors made it feel expansive. The ipod dock was a very nice touch, allowing us to listen to our own music (they also have preprogrammed ipods if you don' have one). The HDTV wasn't working yet, but they had cable service installed so that we could watch TV on the great flat screen TV. The location, a few blocks from Portland's center, was not an issue at all - in 5 minutes we could be in the Pearl or downtown or on the streetcar up to the 21st/23rd sections of NW. The only thing I would've changed would be to have better lighting in the bathroom, which was otherwise very nice (full tub, good shower pressure, nice toiletries). Overall, a deal for $129/nt (may have been promotional rate).
PS-Highly recommend Everett St. Bistro in the Pearl for breakfast, lunch, or dinner (around Everett St. & NW 12th)
Great Visit
Any concerns we may have had about this Hotel were washed away via the actual experience. We were comfortable and the staff was friendly and very polite. We can recommend it, providing the new owners maintain the ambiance and price levels. The convencience to public transport and downtown cannot be beat.
Wonderful experience
Wonderful old hotel that has been kept up beautifully. The attention to detail was top notch. Although my room was a bit small, it had everything I needed. Public spaces are charming. I would definitely stay there again.
Excellent classic hotel in the heart of Portland
As a Portland resident, I have learned quite a bit about the various hotel options here in town over the years. My wife and I recently recommended the Mallory Hotel for out-of-town guests attending our June 2004 wedding. The Mallory is hands down the best hotel deal here in Portland - they have beautifully restored this old classic hotel, and they offer extremely reasonable room rates (breakfast is included). The hotel is right on the MAX light rail line, and it's within walking distance of all of Portland's downtown sights. They also offer free secure parking for rental cars as well. All of our out-of-town guests (without exception) raved about this hotel after their stay. We spent a night there as well during our wedding weekend, and loved it! I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the Rose City.
Enjoyed the comfortable vintage charm!
We enjoyed our unexpected stay at the Mallory Hotel and would definitely return. The description in the travel books left me with the impression that this was a historic hotel with classic grandeur, which let me to interpret it as sort of stuffy and dusty place. Instead, we found the hotel to be relaxed, comfortable, well maintained with a vintage charm, and reasonable in price. We also received a complimentary continental breakfast, or a voucher to use towards their breakfast menu. I enjoyed their surprisingly delicious banana bread french toast.
When visiting Portland, make sure to give yourself a couple of hours to browse in Powell's City of Books. Amazing! We also shopped downtown and in Nob Hill and Hawthorne neighborhoods. Taqueria Nueve, a nouveau mexican restaurant near the Hawthorne neighborhhod, was also delicious.
Room reeked of cigarette smoke
They recently converted the second floor from smoking to nonsmoking and in spite of new furnishings and paint, the room we stayed in reeked of cigarette smoke. When I complained to the manager, she said she couldn't guarantee a nonsmoking room anywhere in the hotel. The hotel may be historic, lovely, and all that jazz, but if you're a nonsmoker, you should think about staying somewhere else.
Excellent Portland Hotel!
What an excellent experience! I just returned home from staying at the Mallory for three nights. The staff is excellent and anticipates your every need before you need to ask. Rooms are simple, clean, quiet and air conditioned. The dining room is the same.
The location is within walking distance of downtown shopping, yet not in a busy location. One more note...Boyds coffee is just down the street.
Best place to stay in Portland
We stumbled upon the Mallory by accident which turned out to be an excellent hotel to stay at. The hotel lobby is breathtaking when you walk in. This is not a hotel for those who are use to staying at chain hotels. This hotel is for those who appreciate it the era it was built and renovated in. It is old but well maintained for its age. The rooms are spotless, quaint and very quiet. The ceilings are high and I loved the huge walk in closets. They have a cool lounge and nice restaurant.
Hotel offers free parking at their lot across the street. I loved the hotel, it had so much character and the staff were very helpful in giving us the ins and outs on the city. I would strongly recommend this hotel and i can't wait to stay there again!
A good deal
My husband and I stayed at the Mallory for 4 nights this July 2002. It was clean, quiet and a good deal for the money. It's an older building, but they have updated everything except maybe the bathrooms. But I thought it was charming and a good deal for the price we paid. It's right on the streetcar line and you can walk to downtown. The breakfasts in the busy restaurant were fine. You can also add a side order to fill out what continental breakfast they supplied. What a relief to not stay in a chain hotel like Marriott or Holiday Inn. One downfall: there are no hair dryers in the rooms. The desk will let you borrow one, but people don't return them promptly. Bring your own.

Krusty helped with my ridiculous endeavor to keep the sled the entire time. Never using it even once of course. It ended up in my pile-o-collected-**** in the corner of my room.

The air mattress queen can actually be labeled as a cushion or mat, it can be fabric, filled with durable stuffing used as a mattress. It can even be placed on your regular bed for increased comfort while sleeping and resting. There may be times when the unexpected guest who needs to stay at your place overnight, so it's great if you're prepared for this.
An inflatable bed is an easy way to help you through this situation. Although the mattress can be slept on while on the floor. And it is even more comfortable when it's used on a foundation, these are similar to the box springs for your regular mattress. It used to be that mattresses before the modern ones of today were stuffed with a variety of soft materials that included straws and feathers.
The main thing to consider with the mattress reviews is that most are designed more comfortable than in year's past. Nowadays they are available in many different sizes and dimensions. They also have features and textures that make sure you get a mattress very similar to the resting conditions you have become used to at home.
Just before making use of the mattress, make sure it is filled totally with air in order that it is able to provide enough support towards weight of your body. Or else you'll sink down the floor by the time you lay down to rest. The air pumped in should be to the level of firmness that you want for utmost comfort.
People have many more options than what was available in the past when choosing an air bed. An air mattress is also helpful outside. Those who love nature will like how small it is when its deflated properly so its easier to take along when hiking. A good quality air mattress queen will give you something you look forward to resting on at a days end of hiking.
The air mattress queen.
This kind of temporary and easily portable bed is useful in many situations. It is made from waterproof materials obviously, and this is why many people use them to lounge around the pool relaxing in the sun. A lot of queen size beds come with the air pump included, to make inflating your mattress easier. Some have the pump built in.
These pumps might be powered manually or with electrical power. Electric pumps have the ability to inflate an air mattress queen within a minute or so and deflate it in the same time duration.
By deflating it as flat as possible, that way it will be easier for users to fold and roll for storage. The main issue about this kind of bed is that you can also bring it camping and when you need to plug in the pump, the DC adapter of the vehicle to power it up is always available.
Air mattress queen with self inflation.
Coming from the term itself, you'll not need to have a pump to inflate this sort of bed. Should you be wondering what makes it achievable for it to inflate without pump, it uses a technology wherein you just have to open its valve and it will automatically suck air to inflate.
You then seal the mattress at the preferred firmness. They are easily adjusted to your desired firmness, details will be included in the owners manual. This kind of air mattress queen makes it ideal for people who like to rough it without any kind of electricity source, but still want the comfort of the mattress.
Overall, an air mattress queen may possibly come in different kinds of depending on how you want to set it up. You just have to find the air mattress queen which will match your preference and you are able to have an instant bed whenever and wherever you will need them without having to use much space.

I started working with Sue in 2009 because I had outgrown my government job and wanted to approach my career calling in a new way. I have benefited enormously from Sue's coaching.
We started by assessing where things stood in all areas of my life. I then formulated some goals for the long, medium and short term and started taking steps toward each goal, one at a time.
During the time I have worked with Sue, I extricated myself from my old job (where I was entrenched), taken time off to broaden my perspective and develop new interests, and launched a business doing independent consulting.
With Sue's support, I have learned how to…
I have been amazed when I have done a review at the end of each year and seen how much progress I have made toward achieving all of my goals. Having Sue's advice, accountability and support has made a world of difference in helping me to focus and sustain my effort. Sue has also provided helpful coaching on personal issues and relationships.
Separately from the coaching, I asked Sue to design and develop my business "brand," website and business card because I trust that she knows who I am, what I want to project and what I am really trying to accomplish in the longer term. I am very happy with the results so far. The website will continue to evolve, but I have already received a lot of positive feedback.
As a result of working with Sue, I feel like I am on my authentic pathway and moving in the direction of my dreams.

Mini-Grant Historical Funding Conclusions
Strategic Planning and Financial Support
Strategic planning is an ongoing process of evaluation, reflection, and improvement that helps the College set priorities, manage resources, define performance expectations, and ensure integrated actions.
Dr. Raynard S. Kington was appointed President of Grinnell College in August, 2010. Prior to coming to Grinnell, he served in a range of positions at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) including NIH Principal Deputy Director and NIH Acting Director, NIH Associate Director for Behavioral and Social Sciences Research, and Acting Director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

Please share what you did so we can count it as part of Grinnell's Inaugural Day of Service. To do so, you can:
Ecological Initiatives
In a series of meetings I have had last year with the larger Grinnell family — including open office hours, lunches with faculty and administrators, and conversations with students — the single most popular question has been some variation of "What is the College doing about environmental and sustainability issues?"
There are several reasons for such a high interest: Sustainability is consistent with the College's long history of social responsibility. Environmental responsibility saves the College money. Sustainability is increasingly a subject of our inquiry-based curriculum.
Also, the College has been emphasizing sustainability for some time now; almost all campus buildings constructed since 2003 are or will be LEED-certified as resource-efficient. We now recycle or compost more than half our campus waste. We reduced our boiler plant's water consumption by 40 percent in 2009 by installing a water filtration system. We have worked to serve more locally grown food in our dining hall. And we have a host of courses in the sciences and social sciences that address sustainability.
There have been many people on campus doing a lot of good work on sustainability, and we have plucked most of the low-hanging fruit — the big gains in resource efficiency. Now it is time to coordinate and expand these efforts and to take on some really big initiatives.
Here is where we are headed:
I am signing the American College and University Presidents'Climate Commitment to achieve climate neutrality as soon as possible and to take immediate, specific steps toward doing so. I am very comfortable signing the presidents' commitment because there is no question in my mind that this campus is committed to the goal — because it is good citizenship, it is consistent with our values, and because many of the activities we are committed to in this area may actually save the college money in the long run.
We are establishing a Climate Steering Committee that will coordinate the efforts of everyone involved in promoting sustainability on this campus. In my mind, this committee replaces and broadens the long-standing EcoCampus Committee of faculty, staff, and student representatives who meet to address campus environmental issues.
We have launched an environment and sustainability section on the College's Web site to keep everyone informed of new sustainability developments and to act as a clearinghouse for links to the organizations, committees, and curricular developments related to sustainability.
We are planning to construct a three-turbine, 15.6 million kilowatt-hour wind farm north of campus that will cost about $10 million, generate 80 percent of the College's electrical consumption, and reduce our carbon impact by half. This is the culmination of a wind-energy project begun by a student in 1996, and it will likely take another two years or more to complete. The details of property easements, financial models, and the relationship with our local utility company and the national power grid are currently being worked out, and they are complicated. But we have a vision and a plan that is well along. We are very excited about making it a reality.
The above points are only the current headlines in an ongoing sustainability effort that ultimately affects every aspect of our lives as a College family. We will be offering more courses and cocurricular learning opportunities in sustainability, creating new initiatives aimed at resource efficiency, and refining and expanding those that are already in place. I encourage you to take a look at our sustainability Web site, mentioned above, to stay current with all that we are doing, and to join me in thanking the many members of our community who have led and continue to lead us toward a sustainable future.

Posted by: Raynard S. Kington
I want to do everything I can to ensure good communication on campus. My first choice is always to meet and talk with you all in person, with time for some questions on your part and some listening on my part. But I realize 1) we can't always do that, and 2) not everyone will be able to attend such events when we do. So from time to time I'll share information I think you need to know and ideas I believe are worth thinking about. I welcome your comments — although I can't respond to them individually, I will review them, and may respond to them generally in this ongoing, online conversation. My first few postings will catch me up from last semester.
Since we are still just beginning to know one another and to work together, I think it's only fair that you have some idea of what I value when making decisions. At an all-campus meeting on Sept. 20, I shared my belief in: Fairness. Fairness is my guiding decision-making principle. And really, it's a social justice issue. What we've worked for and continue to work for in this country is not so much this Supreme Court decision or that constitutional amendment. At our core, we simply want everyone to be treated fairly. In every decision I make, I will ask myself and others if the decision is consistent with basic standards of fairness.Transparency. Fairness often begins with a transparent, well-described process for making a decision or resolving an issue — a process that everyone can understand. Some decisions themselves may be unexpected, but there should be no surprises about how decisions get made; and everyone in our community deserves to understand why decisions are made in a particular way. Confidentiality. I don't believe in secrets. I do believe very strongly in honoring commitments to confidentiality. Keeping secrets means not revealing information that should be public. Respecting confidentiality means keeping personal information — such as an individual's personnel records, medical records, and other privileged information — private. Indeed, there is much information that cannot be divulged by law or by college policy. So while our decision-making process needs to be transparent, I won't violate anyone's confidentiality for any reason. As a doctor, a scientist, and a medical researcher, I know how essential it is to respect everyone's privacy. Shared governance. We practice shared governance at Grinnell — many different groups have input into most of our decisions: students, faculty, staff, trustees, alumni, and others. The great advantage of shared governance is that it promotes inclusion of a rich body of perspectives into decisions. That broad input can greatly improve decisions made, but there still needs to be a person or group who ultimately makes final decisions. Shared governance is not easy, and what it means is often misunderstood. Shared governance does not mean that decisions are ultimately made by popular vote — no complex organization can run that way. I see a large part of my job as taking in and thinking about a wide range of perspectives on important College decisions. It means that a big part of my job is to listen —to listen hard and listen well — to a variety of different perspectives and to make sure that we make the best decision we can. I hope that even in those situations when the final decision is not the choice of everyone in our community, everyone feels that he or she understands the final decision and its reasons and, perhaps most importantly, has had an opportunity to participate in the process. Evidence. As a researcher and a scientist, I believe in making decisions based on evidence whenever possible. And as a sign over one of my colleagues' desks at NIH read, "The plural of anecdote is not data." That doesn't mean I try to quantify everything — there are many very important things that cannot be quantified. But I believe we owe it to ourselves and to the College to do our research and make decisions informed by the best information we can find. Grinnell's unique culture, values, and mission. That uniqueness drew me here. I believe very strongly that all the decisions we make and I make must reflect that culture, those values, and that mission. I ask you all to help me in making sure that they do.
I've pinned a bumper sticker on the bulletin board over my desk in Nollen house that says "Choose Civility." I posted it (a gift from two members of the Grinnell family!) to remind myself and others that civility is a choice. It is an especially important choice to make in a community of passionate activists like ours where we at times discuss divisive issues and ideas. Experience has taught me that the natural course of communities who discuss such subjects without a conscious effort to be civil tends toward rancor and gridlock. I've also learned communities that make a conscious effort to be civil can converse respectfully, good-naturedly, and most of all very productively. That's what I want for us. When I made civility one of the topics of an all-campus meeting last semester, I could almost hear folks wondering: "What's Kington's agenda? What big controversial issue is he preparing us for?" Truly, I did not have one in mind. But I know — we all know — that communities need to make hard decisions all the time. And our activist heritage and egalitarian culture means we like to get involved. That's good. Here are some qualities that I think will serve us well as we work together:Generosity. Let's be generous in giving one another lots of slack. When we encounter someone with a very different opinion on an issue that affects the College, let's tell ourselves, "We are all doing the best we can under difficult circumstances, with the best interests of the Grinnell community in mind." Then, let's listen — intently and respectfully — to what they have to say. Listening is not always as easy as you may think – I know that all too well – but we should all try. Passion. Grinnellians are passionate about many things. That passion is one of this institution's great strengths and one of the reasons I wanted to come here. But passion does not grant license to be uncivil. Effort. Choosing civility can be very difficult. In fact, it is a lifetime job. I work at it. I can remember a few times I've failed; and when and if I do, I encourage you to let me know that I have — I'm sure you will! When I have failed in the past, I have tried to apologize quickly. I'm getting better, and I invite you to join me. Humor. When we lose our sense of humor, we lose some of our natural flexibility, optimism, and ability to connect warmly and work productively with others. I continue to be amazed at the ability of a single humorous comment to bring a group together and to remind us of our shared humanity.
Thoughts on the Rankings Season
Alas, the ranking season is upon us once again. Colleges and universities across the country are ranked on everything from food to politics, from sustainability to hipster-ness, from rigor to partying. Newspapers, magazines, online postings, and blogs follow each release noting which colleges rank where and which has gone up or down to the delight or horror or, rarely, the indifference of those of us with vested interests — administrators, board members, students, alumni — across the nation and, increasingly, around the world.
For many, U.S. News & World Report is ranked among the most important of the rankings. Over the 25 years of the U.S. News rankings, Grinnell has been as high as ninth and volleyed through the top 20 (14, 11, 18), along with many of our peer colleges that have also experienced fluctuations in the rankings — especially as data points such as alumni giving have risen and fallen with the economic times and as the methods for ranking have changed.
Many of you may have read the insightful article by Malcolm Gladwell in the New Yorker last year, "What College Rankings Really Tell Us" about the use and misuse of college rankings. I encourage you to read it if you haven't. While I acknowledge that the rankings serve as one source of information for prospective students and families, Grinnell College does not make institutional, academic, or administrative decisions based on U.S. News or other rating agencies. In 2007, Grinnell President Russell Osgood and 18 other national college presidents signed a statement committing to make institutional data available on college websites, instead of relying on the rankings to distribute the comparative information. Grinnell continues to follow this practice by providing the Common Data Set on our website and welcoming inquiries at any time.
As many in the Grinnell community read and talk about the various rankings in this season of rankings, it is important to remind everyone that whether we go up or down on any list, the public rankings are not the standard by which Grinnell College judges itself. We judge ourselves against the best Grinnell College we can possibly be. Our goal should always be to provide the best possible Grinnell education to a diverse and talented group of students who are best suited to be transformed by that education. This means we must continually look for ways to improve our support of our faculty, enrich the learning experiences of our students, and provide the resources and opportunities that set our students up to succeed as active and contributing citizens of a global community.
The College is in the midst of a strategic planning process, seeking input and ideas from a broad range of stakeholders. This plan will guide Grinnell's future while remaining true to our heritage and mission that values undergraduate teaching and research, diversity, and innovation in programs such as the First-Year Tutorial, study abroad, the Grinnell Science Project, and Writing Across the Curriculum.
We can all take the opportunity prompted by the release of ratings to think deeply about what we are as an institution and community and what we aspire to be. Most importantly, let us commit ourselves to engaging in a lively deliberation during the coming year that will lead to a concrete plan to become the best Grinnell College that we can be.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, Aug. 2, 2013
COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. (WRDW) -- In just three days, almost 25,000 students head back to school in Columbia County.
And with more than 150 routes and almost 200 bus drivers, the county's doing everything it can to make sure kids are getting on the right buses and to and from school safely.
"We have the drivers pick up their buses and they started dry runs," said DeWayne Porter, the district's transportation director. "It will go through Monday, excluding the weekends."
Drivers are taking their routes -- stops and all -- to help make sure everything runs smoothly.
And although many have been driving the same route for years, Porter says a lot has changed, including routes for the three new schools opening their doors.
"Stop locations with new students," he explained. "New subdivisions, new roads on the route, so they get accustomed to the stops and the directions they need to be driving on the first morning of school."
There are 190 drivers in total for this school year, who've all gone through a lot of training. Everyone must have a commercial driving license and at least six hours of driving without students on the bus, but Porter says he has his trainees go above and beyond that minimum.
"Our drivers and trainees here get between 15 and 25 hours of driving without a student," he said.
The practice runs are also a good reminder to the rest of us that the buses are back on the road.
"Loading and unloading students is the most dangerous thing we do every day because they're crossing the road in front of a bus and there are distracted drivers out there," Porter said.
He says there are about 13,000 students who ride the bus every morning and afternoon in Columbia County, which is another reason the dry runs are so important.

High folate intake may increase the risk of cancer, especially in the elderly. The present study examined the effects of ageing and dietary folate on uracil misincorporation into DNA, which has a mutagenic effect, in the mouse colon and liver. Old (18 months; n 42) and young (4 months; n 42) male C57BL/6 mice were pair-fed with four different amino acid-defined diets for 20 weeks: folate deplete (0 mg/kg diet); folate replete (2 mg/kg diet); folate supplemented (8 mg/kg diet); folate deplete (0 mg/kg diet) with thymidine supplementation (1·8 g/kg diet). Thymidylate synthesis from uracil requires folate, but synthesis from thymidine is folate independent. Liver folate concentrations were determined by the Lactobacillus casei assay. Uracil misincorporation into DNA was measured by a GC/MS method. Liver folate concentrations demonstrated a stepwise increase across the spectrum of dietary folate levels in both old (P = 0·003) and young (P < 0·001) mice. Uracil content in colonic DNA was paradoxically increased in parallel with increasing dietary folate among the young mice (P trend = 0·033), but differences were not observed in the old mice. The mean values of uracil in liver DNA, in contrast, decreased with increasing dietary folate among the old mice, but it did not reach a statistically significant level (P < 0·1). Compared with the folate-deplete group, thymidine supplementation reduced uracil misincorporation into the liver DNA of aged mice (P = 0·026). The present study suggests that the effects of folate and thymidine supplementation on uracil misincorporation into DNA differ depending on age and tissue. Further studies are needed to clarify the significance of increased uracil misincorporation into colonic DNA of folate-supplemented young mice.

Editor's note: This week's sports columnist is Peter Lindholm, whose dad, Karl, usually occupies this space. Peter spent this fall with his family in Cameroon, West Africa, and is now in his first week of classes at Middlebury College. He graduated from Middlebury Union High School last spring.
Editor's note: This is the most recent in a series of columns by members of Middlebury's Town Offices and Recreation Facilities Steering Committee. Nancy Malcolm chairs that committee and John Dale is a senior architect at Bread Loaf Corp.
The town office/recreation facility proposal is a marriage of convenience between Middlebury College and the town of Middlebury. It is well known that marriages of this sort leave much to be desired. I have noted several major flaws in this proposal, any one of which justifies a rejection by the voters. I'm sure that others can find more reasons that warrant leaving this ill-conceived proposal at the altar.
Here are some of the flaws I found, in no particular order.
ADDISON COUNTY — A New Haven man was allegedly kidnapped by a man with whom he hoped to transact some business.
Vermont State Police received a complaint from Richard Esty, 67, of New Haven, who said he responded to a Craigslist post and arranged to meet with Jonathan Henry, 28, of Marshfield on the afternoon of Jan. 27. Esty told police that during their meeting in East Montpelier, Henry physically assaulted him, drove him to Berlin where he extorted money from him, and returned him to his vehicle.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police found more than 20 grams of marijuana in a North Pleasant Street apartment on Feb. 6. Police said they were given permission by the resident to search the home based on reports of a "chemical smell" emanating from the apartment. Police said charges are pending against the tenant for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and possession of a controlled substance.
In other action last week, Middlebury police:
VERMONT — The Vermont Sports Media Association has picked Williamstown High School senior basketball player Jason Manwaring, Northfield High School junior hockey player Kristen Dukette and Norwich University senior rugby player Rose Bernheim as its December athletes of the month.
In statewide balloting, VSMA members elected Manwaring the Male High School Athlete of the Month, Dukette the Female High School Athlete of the Month, and Bernheim the Open Division Athlete of the Month.
The challenge of writing a bi-weekly column as a mother of four young children is this: Most writing benefits from the writer leaving the house. Seeing the greater world. Having new experiences. While I do occasionally manage to leave the house, it takes 30-minutes to get out the door, and then my attention isn't so much on the greater world as on the wriggling little people in my care.
