Give the kid the school's independent-thinker award. It is tough for a student to stand up and say the teacher is wrong. But an unidentified Cheektowaga High School kid did just that, when faced with a science teacher who carried her religious convictions into the classroom.
The teacher, 29-year-old Joelle Silver, is now making a federal case out of it. But my sympathies are with the student who gave the teacher a lesson on the separation of church and state.
Silver reportedly hung posters with biblical verses in her public school classroom last year, and put up a drawing of three crosses on the wall. The anonymous student was uncomfortable with a science teacher cross-pollinating theology with biology. The student contacted the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, which alerted school officials. Silver said she removed the religious references, under threat of dismissal. She recently sparked a firestorm by suing district officials for gagging her free-speech rights.
I understand Silver's desire for self-expression. But, to my mind, the students' right to not have a teacher's religious beliefs thrust in their faces overrides her urge to spread the Word.
A teacher represents the school, and taxpayer-funded public schools are, by extension, a part of government. Our government does not – for good reason – endorse any religion over another, or over nonbelief.
The Founders were no fools. European countries with state-sponsored religions historically took to the battlefield, typically Protestant vs. Catholic. Jefferson & Co. concluded: Not here. The Constitution states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."
"As a teacher in a public school, she is subject to the limits with which government engages with religion," said Tom Flynn, of the Amherst-based Center for Inquiry, a humanist organization. "She is obliged by the First Amendment not to show religious favoritism."
Aside from the church/state issue, a classroom is not a gathering of equals. Silver is the authority, with disciplinary and grading power. By posting biblical verses, she takes advantage of her bully pulpit to promote her religious views. Up against that pressure, I applaud the kid who had the guts to toss the First Amendment penalty flag.
I am sure Silver believes that hers is the true faith. But that belief is not shared by students who are Jews, Muslims, Hindus, atheists or agnostics. "The message the teacher – and [by association] the school and the government – sends to students," Flynn said, "is that Religion A is better than Religion B, and that is totally improper."
Offended Christians should consider how they would feel if a Muslim teacher had a Quran on the desk. Or if a Jewish instructor hung a Star of David on the bulletin board.
Give a gold star to the student, who took a stand on principle. And thanks to Silver, for providing every civics instructor with a teachable moment.

A Neo-Chicago Approach to Concerted Action
William H. Page
University of Florida - Levin College of Law
August 10, 2011
University of Florida Levin College of Law Research Paper No. 2011-07
In this article, I offer an approach to concerted action that builds on traditional Chicago School analyses of the issue, but adds a focus on the role of communication. Chicago scholars uniformly identify cartels as the primary target of antitrust enforcement. They have also established much of the framework within which courts and economists analyze concerted action. George Stigler's seminal theory of oligopoly, which sought to identify the determinants of effective collusion, has spawned an enormous literature in game theory that models the pricing behavior of oligopolists. Richard Posner's early analysis of tacit collusion - rivals' coordination of noncompetitive pricing without express communication - extended Stigler's analysis to the domain of law and policy. His approach to oligopoly pricing drew on economic theory and evidence both to define tacit collusion as concerted action and to identify structural and behavioral characteristics of markets that suggested its presence.
I argue that Posner's approach, refocused on the role of communication, provides the most promising way forward in the analysis of concerted action. After recounting the history of the Chicago School's analysis of concerted action, I propose a modified definition of concerted action and suggest how the change might affect the search for instances of concerted action. I argue that Section 1 does not reach tacit collusion, but neither does it require a verbal agreement; instead, actions are concerted if rivals coordinate them in part by communicating their intentions. I argue that this focus on communicative concerted action, despite its departure from Posner's legal position, is consistent with the Chicago tradition, particularly error cost analysis. Its neo-Chicago character lies in its reliance on the most recent economic literature on the role of communication in collusion. In the last part of the article, I examine a small but important subset of that literature: studies of how real-world cartels use communication and facilitating practices to achieve their aims. Based on these studies, I suggest how plaintiffs and enforcement agencies might discover concerted action by examining changing patterns in the use of facilitating practices.

TIFTON - Eleanor Isabelle McCullough Jerdan, 97, of Tifton died Saturday, September 7, 2013, at Southern Care Assisted Living. Funeral services will be at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 10, 2013, in the Chapel of Bowen-Donaldson Home for Funerals. Rev. Stephen Webb will officiate. Pallbearers will be Brian Jerdan, Matthew Jerdan, Philip Jerdan, William Jerdan, Frank Sayles and Nick Sayles. Honorary pallbearers will be the members of the Christian Covenant Sunday School Class and United Methodist Women Circle 9 of Tifton's First United Methodist Church and the staff of Southern Care Assisted Living. The family will receive friends on Tuesday, September 10, 2013, from 4:00 p.m. until the hour of the service at Bowen-Donaldson Home for Funerals, 420 Love Ave.
Mrs. Jerdan was born on June 22, 1916, in Philadelphia, Pa., and was the daughter of John McCullough and Ida Mae Robinson McCullough Hartzag, both deceased. She was also preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Bishop William Henry Stuart Jerdan, and sister Anna May McCullough Ahrens. She attended Philadelphia College of Bible, and was a telephone switchboard operator for a short time. She loved Jesus and joyously served the Lord all of her life, living 42 years in Philadelphia, where her husband founded Calvary Reformed Episcopal Church, and she taught the Beginners Sunday School.
For 43 years she lived in Summerville, S.C., as wife of the bishop of the Diocese of the Southeast. She would sing solos during his Episcopal visits at the 33 churches in his jurisdiction and taught crocheting and sewing skills during summer camps at the Bishop Jerdan Conference Center in Awendaw. She raised and bred AKC collies to help put her children through college. She loved several generations of neighborhood children, and in the late 1960s Mrs. Jerdan was a librarian at Alston Middle School, where she was beloved by the Library Club. Later, she was librarian for Cummins Memorial Theological Seminary in Summerville, S.C. After Bishop Jerdan retired from his post, he was elected Presiding Bishop of the Reformed Episcopal Denomination in North America. They enjoyed trips to France to visit their missionary son and daughter-in-law for the births of their grandchildren, to Egypt and Israel to visit the Holy Land, and to Hawaii and California. After Bishop Jerdan's passing in 2001, she relocated to Tifton with her daughter's family and joined the Tiftonite Newcomers Club and Tifton First United Methodist Church.
Mrs. Jerdan is survived by five sons and four daughters-in-law, Rev. William Stuart and Diane Jerdan of Warrenville, Ill., Bruce Alan Jerdan of Santa Ana, Calif., Barry Dean and Nancy Jerdan of Richmond, Va., Brian Scott and Kate Jerdan of Ridgeville, S.C., and Robert Mark and Ronda Jerdan of Anchorage, Alaska; one daughter and son-in-law, Bonnie Eleanor Jerdan Sayles and husband Frank Sayles Jr. of Tifton; one brother, John Wesley McCullough of Levittown, Pennsylvania; two nephews; 15 grandchildren; and 16 great-grandchildren.
A memorial service and burial will be held this week in Philadelphia, and Mrs. Jerdan's passing will be acknowledged during a memorial service at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, at St. John's Reformed Episcopal Church, 91 Anson St., Charleston, S.C., during the closing Communion Service of the Diocese of the Southeast's annual convocation.
Flowers will be welcome, or memorial gifts may be made to the Reformed Episcopal Church Mission Board, 4142 Dayflower Drive, Katy TX 77449, or online at www.recbfm.org, or to the Alzheimer's Association, Georgia Chapter, 225 Second St. E., Tifton, GA 31794, or online at georgiawalk.org.
Condolences may be sent to the family at the online guest registry at www.bowen-donaldson.com. Services for the Jerdan family are under the care and direction of Bowen-Donaldson Home for Funerals.

Peas and beans are easy to grow and great for children too. Sowing in succession (every few weeks) means you'll have a continuous crop throughout the summer. Try growing sweet peas next to your runner beans to improve pollination.

Pea 'Shiraz' (Mangetout)
Pisum sativum, Snow PeaCustomer Rating
From British breeding, this is the first commercially grown purple variety! The attractive bicoloured flowers of Mangetout Pea 'Shiraz' form stunning flat, purple pods that are best harvested young and eaten raw, steamed or added to stir frys. The purple pods are rich in healthy anthocyanin (antioxidant) pigment, although the colour will fade to dark green when pods are steamed or boiled. With powdery mildew resistance and good tolerance to downy mildew, this superb variety makes a handsome addition to the vegetable plot or containers on the patio. Height: 100cm (39"). Spread: 25cm (10").

Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. For more details about edible flowers click here.More info
Runner Bean 'Tenderstar'
Phaseolus coccineus
The first of its kind! A unique red and pink bicolour variety from 15 years of British breeding. Runner Bean 'Tenderstar' combines the valuable characteristics of French beans with those of runner beans, resulting in extra smooth, very fleshy, stringless pods with an exceptionally tender texture and true runner bean flavour. Being virtually self setting, this prolific variety produces masses of 20cm (8") long pods throughout the summer, whatever the weather. With its unusual coloured flowers this attractive runner bean is equally at home in the flower border as well as the vegetable plot. Height: 3m (10'). Spread: 30cm (12").
Companion planting: Try growing runner beans with sweet peas to attract pollinating insects to the flowers, and Nasturtiums to draw aphids away from your crop.

Kotzebue is 26 miles north of the Arctic Circle on the shores of the Chukchi Sea, near where the Noatak River flows into Kotzebue Sound. Its windswept flat tundra, with long gravel beaches, is a haven for walrus, migrating birds, and musk oxen. It is a perfect place to watch the summer midnight sun color the sea a golden red.
Archaeological sites suggest that people first came to Kotzebue over the Bering Land Bridge about 13,000 years ago. About 80% of the several thousand residents are Inupiat Eskimo, who still hunt and fish for subsistence as they have for 600 years. You can discover more about them at the Northwest Arctic Heritage Center.
Experienced guides can take you fishing, rafting, and kayaking in pristine waters. Stop in at the Innaigvik Education and Information Center to find out about the national parks.

I really enjoyed this course. It offered me a lot of information about going into business and the many things a person should do and consider. The course was fun, and a great learning experience. I liked making a basket and having feed back on the project. The marketing and advertising were interesting as well as making your own web page. I think the course covered a lot of ground for a person who wants to go into this type of business. I hope to do this when I retire.
It was a great course. I truly appreciated the examples for pricing, marketing and the sample lists. They were so helpful.
The information provided by the instructor was timely, clear and plentiful. Resources were some of the best in achieving the tools for a successful business from legal documents, tax filings, purchasing supplies and materials, advertising, shipping and securing payments for the product sold. The instructor has a light hearted but direct manner of teaching. I truly enjoyed this course. The combination of my talent and the course material is a winner.
I enjoyed this course very much and have gained important information that will help me set-up my business to be a success.
This was an excellent and informative course. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her business. She passed along her wealth of information to her students while going the extra mile to encourage her students.
I really enjoyed the course! I was supplied with beneficial material to learn from and the professor was great.
I found this course to be very interesting, informative and enjoyable. It was easy to follow along and I was surprised as to how well I did creating gift baskets! I am blind and I understood all the instructions to make a gift basket and I am excited to continue with this as a hobby for now. Thanks so much for offering this course.
Was very glad to take this course. It is invaluable for a newcomer as well as others who have been in business before. Thanks.
I would like to thank Ms. Frazier for teaching this course via ed2go. I have wanted to take one of her classes for several years but I was never able to get to the physical location because of the distance from my home. This course was all I hoped for and more. I feel extremely prepared to begin my own gift basket business. The lessons, resources, discussions and quizzes will serve as a manual for me to refer to for years to come. Thank you again!
Shirley was an excellent instructor. She was very supportive, asked questions, and provided the information and mentoring necessary to start a gift basket business. I hope you will sponsor more classes with her as the instructor. She is a great asset!

He's going to school, with an eye patch. He put it on at breakfast and asked me to email his teacher letting her know he would need to wear the plastic pirate patch from our dress up bin, because then he wouldn't rub his eye anymore. "I'll flip it up when I need to see, though."
Ivy has had an imaginary friend named Alexa for several months now. We've come to accept it as normal- so much that when she talked about playing at her friend Aisling's house the other day Carter asked if me if Aisling was a real girl?
Last night Ivy took it a little too far. She was snuggling with me way past her bedtime and said that she had so much fun when she was in my belly as a baby. (Sweetest thing ever- does she remember? Maybe?) But then she whispered, "Alexa's in my tummy."
And I was all, dude, that's creepy and I slept all night with one eye open.

Apple-flavored tobacco will no longer be available in the Big Apple. A federal district court judge upheld a city ban that prohibits the sale of all flavored tobacco products (except cigarettes), with the exception of menthol and mint-flavored products.
According to a recent article, the ban pertains to "any fruit, chocolate, vanilla, honey, candy, cocoa, dessert, alcoholic beverage, herb or spice" flavorings used in anything but cigarettes. The idea is to keep tobacco tasting like tobacco, a move that could directly damage the potential to attract new tobacco users. Among those potential new users that can be turned off by the lack of flavoring are minors – a group of customer that can't legally buy tobacco products but (although big tobacco will never openly admit it) would be necessary to keep big tobacco earnings high in the future. Because let's be honest here, who is candy-flavored tobacco really aiming to attract?
The move by NYC to enforce the flavoring ban also sets the stage for more cities to join in. While the FDA hasn't enforced a ban on the production of flavored tobacco products, NYC's move to create a citywide ban sets a precedent that allows other cities to do the same thing.

For whatever reason, one month into 2014 and I had not purchased any sort of desk calendar or daily planner. Then, late in January, a Levenger email led me to an easy decision. Levenger had an item on sale. For years I was sold on the concept of Circa, but not until I purchased Circa smartPlanner Agenda & Sampler 2014 did I realize what I had been missing. I can't recall a time when I have made a purchase and immediately -- right out of the box -- put that product to use. The planner, the multiple calendars, and the Circa App Sampler is what I needed.The first day I started using smartPlanner I reduced my paper-based technologies from three to one. The three were: 1) A ring binder calendar to keep track of my day-to-day activities; 2) A small stapled brochure monthly calendar to keep track of my daily running/jogging record, and 3) My "Desk Sheet." My "desk sheet" is an 11" x 17" sheet of paper (brightly colored, if available) folded in half, forming a four page booklet 8-1/2" x 11" in size. On any given day when I knew that the majority of my time was going to be spent at my desk, the first thing I did was to make a desk sheet. I would jot down tasks that I knew had to be accomplished that day, and then this piece of paper became the depository of everything else; notes, phone numbers and phone messages, meeting schedules, appointments, To Do list, spontaneous new developments, and unexpected ideas that pop up during the course of a work day. I was amazed how fast I filled 4 pages with handwritten information. For years, the desk sheet worked for me. The only drawback had been that as the day progressed, more stuff piled up on my desk and, at times, I had to go searching for the desk sheet. As I mentioned, a brightly colored desk sheet was preferable.That first day using smartPlanner I gave up my desk sheet. The smartPlanner is compact and easier to locate on my desk, the Doodle App pages are colorful enough, and when I fill up one Doodle page I just insert another (upside down if I so desire!) where I need it in the smartPlanner. As I said, from three paper-based sources to one. With smartPlanner I use the weekly planner sheets for my day-to-day and weekly activities, the monthly planner sheets record my almost daily exercise routine, and the Apps keep my office work flowing.I'm a 3 x 5 guy. I have kept a stack of note cards clipped together and in my shirt pocket for a good 20 odd years. With all of today's technological advances, I still find the simple index card to be the best way to keep track of all the tasks that need to be completed, and all the goals that need to be met. I will most certainly be purchasing Levenger's 3 x 5 Special Request™ Blank Circa PDA Cards and Behance Action Cards to upgrade the elements in my smartPlanner.I also keep a journal. I try to write a page a day and, believe it or not, I actually write in cursive. For several years I have been contemplating journal writing using a Circa product, and a decision has been made. My next journal will be a letter sized Circa notebook. Then, even from the cramped confines of a airline coach seat, I will be able to write in comfort. With Circa's flexibility, prior to boarding an aircraft, I can remove a few blank sheets, or fold the notebook, and not be burdened with a cumbersome, stitched journal. And, in terms of versatility, inserting paper or photo additions to any journal entry is only a Circa Leverage Punch away. I should have done this years ago.I purchased my smartPlanner at the end of January. Yesterday, after showing it to a friend, I purchased one for her (the smartPlanner Master Agenda 2014 is still on sale!). It didn't take long for my friend, who runs a small business, to see the advantages of using Circa to organize all aspects of her business.We are only seven weeks into the new year. I highly recommend the smartPlanner Master Agenda 2014.To sum it up, smartPlanner has become a part of my daily life, in -- or out -- of the office. My new mini-office on the road is a smart phone, a small Bluetooth keyboard, and my smartPlanner. That's it. Oh, and a few 3 x 5 cards. Just can't seem to let those go. My shirt pocket would seem empty without them.

My agenda for 2014 arrived today. It might be going back. Two things bother me: The two-page calendar spread starts the week on Monday, with the weekend days piggybacked and squeezed into a single block. I have become resigned to a weekly spread starting with Monday, and I liked that Saturday and Sunday had equal size blocks. But the two-page monthly spread is irritating to me and utterly useless.Also, the pages are on slightly coated stock. I make many notations in pencil. Coated stock doesn;t work well.

Cool calendar
By brownsugar

This calendar circa has a lot of ways to stay on track. I like the look of the cover and the various pages make it easy to be organized. The fact that I can simply purchase refills for the next year is a huge plus.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I tried going digital with app calendars, but alas I am a traditionalist and function better with good old fashioned paper planners. This agenda has energetic, inspiring orange colored tabs with subtle muted pages that make it pleasant to write on and visually pleasing to the eye. The set up is perfect for seeing month at a glance and week at a glance. I often use a fountain pen while writing in this agenda and there is no bleed through on the pages. Very nice quality paper. I look forward to using it everyday and I will purchase again in 2015.
Love the ease of use
By DenverDaily
from Undisclosed
I had been printing my email calendar every week, punching it and then putting it into a junior size circa folder. Glad that I finally made the switch and bought this planner. Love the ease of use, plenty of room to write and it is so much easier to work with my daily schedule. It has made my daily planning activities a breeze.
Great Planner!
By SuppliesLover
from Bolivar, PA
I've just recently been trying to make my life a bit more "analog". I'm very much a techy and love my devices, but there is something very satisfying about putting pen to paper. I purchased this planner during a weekly special, and I'm very glad that I did. I've just started to use it, and I'm still getting a feel for my personal planning style (and how to incorporate it with my very digital world), but the quality of this product is top-notch! My only word of caution is that my Lamy Studio medium fountain pen (which does put down a very substantial line) does bleed through the paper. I've simply defaulted to using my rollerballs with this planner. I guess it's time to purchase and try a fine nib fountain pen!

I really like this product. Great function, sturdy, and looks nice. My only downfalls are: needs a pen loop, the personalization isn't great and I prefer a Sunday- Saturday monthly layout rather than Monday- weekend layout.

2013-14 Participants and Materials
Sustainability across the curriculum faculty learning community
Betsy Kelba, Biology
Human health, disease, and behavior are all means of defining oneself and while we traditionally think of these attributes as resulting from the condition of our own physical bodies the reality is that we're learning that much of the human physical state might actually stem not from the functionality of our own human cells but rather from the billions of microbial cells that inhabit our bodies!
Healthy body weight, your mood, allergies, autoimmune disorders, and susceptibility to other infectious diseases have all been linked to the specific kinds of microbes that inhabit one's body. This course will provide an introduction to microbiology and explore the intersection of this scientific discipline with self-identity and cultural practices that impact one's microbiome. In the process we'll read from the scientific literature, discuss modern tools and technologies employed by microbiologists, and use quantitative reasoning skills to better understand the connection between the human microbiome and our physical selves.
Jonathan Amburgey, Psychology
Goal(s): Develop a "Sustainability Module" for PSYC 338 (Environmental Psychology), a new course offering that explores psychological perspectives on human-environment interactions.
Over the duration of the Learning Community (LC), I have been consulting with colleagues (e.g., Christy Clay, Kerry Case), locating resources (e.g., readings), and exploring various projects (e.g., involving student research projects with the Environmental Center that may benefit the campus community) in preparation for a Sustainability Module that I will be teaching in PSYC 338, beginning in the Spring 2015 academic semester. After talking with fellow colleagues in the LC this past year, I have identified possible guest speakers, as well as readings, activities, and campus projects that will be incorporated into the class to more effectively inform and involve students in issues and topics pertaining to sustainability. Much of my participation in the LC this past year has consisted of exploring resources and ideas for how to teach students about the varied, and complex issues that are important for gaining a comprehensive understanding of "sustainability". That is, my primary goal in the LC was to learn about diverse perspectives on sustainability from multiple disciplines, the approaches and models used to study sustainability, and integrate such information into a module that would provide an informative basis for student learning.
In my own discipline (PSYC), much research exists on behavioral change approaches for facilitating pro-environmental behaviors within numerous contexts, yet there is little empirical work that examines sustainability in a more holistic manner, such as taking into consideration issues related to social justice, the influence of societal structures, natural science perspectives on environmental pollutants/toxins, loss of biodiversity, public health concerns, and management of natural resources. This LC has been especially informative for helping me gain a broader view of sustainability (beyond my own disciplinary lens), identify campus resources, and has greatly assisted my efforts to develop a learning module for students interested in these topics.
Giancarlo Panagia, Justice Studies
Natural Resources Law Syllabus
This redesigned course provides students with the tools to learn fundamental legal principles and theories to better formulate and articulate critical stances on the major debates driving the contemporary law of natural resources. Sustainability and the limits to Neo-Liberalism represent major theoretical premises to this course. Students learn principles conducive to sustainable production in order to maintain sustainable development in postmodern urban life.
This new design examines both natural resources law in the American system and global environmental issues. Students have a chance to study cutting edge issues like sustainable energy and focus on the legal implications of policies and technologies that seek to minimize carbon emissions in the development and delivery of energy. The learning of these policies will be complemented by the analysis and critical evaluation of the legal institutional settings in which natural resources policies are shaped and implemented. The class delves into the laws designed to promote renewable energy development but students also review existing renewable energy technologies and the practical limitations on their development, siting, and integration into the U.S. electricity grid. While this focus is on renewable energy development in the U.S., comparative examples of renewable energy laws used in other countries are considered.
Carol Jeffers, Nursing
Nutrition: Healthy and Sustainable Human Diets Syllabus
Developed a science-based nutrition course that would meet the pre-requisite for undergraduate nursing and would meet an LE requirement. The course, which will have no prerequisites, will have appeal to students interested in health sciences, human ecology, and environmental interactions with human food production and consumption. Because the major assignment in the course can be individualized, students working on self-designed, interdisciplinary degrees involving diet and food will also be interested. The working syllabus and sustainability assignment are attached. As part of my participation in the learning community, I developed the course description, learning outcomes, a topic guide, and defined a sustainability assignment. A substantive change curriculum proposal will be submitted under the explorations component of the new LE.

EC2 Website: http://ecsquared.org
The website is the most recent iteration of an ongoing effort to build collaboration, experimentation, and playfulness into how we discuss nature, sustainability and our place in the world. The EC Squared website is built on wordpress, but the real effort has been centered around thinking about what kind of conversation we would like to have, getting people involved, and (slowly) working to build a community of faculty, staff, students and other contributors. We continue to solicit contributions and have increasingly built class papers and projects around the questions posed by EC Squared. This has resulted in greater student engagement as their work has potential for a broader audience. The student work has also led to a diversity of voices on the website. As we move forward we'll be building this community and expanding the ways the conversation happens, both in terms of more creative posts and projects, and in building links to other sustainability and place centered multi-media projects around the West.
Hikmet Sidney Loe, Art History, and Scott Gust, Speech
Art and Sustainability across Academic Disciplines. The goal of the Canvas site is to illuminate the cross-disciplinary approaches to art that can be found through the focus of a topic gaining increased exposure and urgency: sustainability.
A brief background on art and sustainability: the trajectory of artists who engaged their practice with the materials of the land has shifted from the Land arts movement of the 1960s-1970s to the present-day interest and urgency found in sustainability. While Land art was born, in part, from an interest in the natural world and its use, coinciding with the creation of Earth Day and the Environmental Protection Agency, sustainability as practiced by artists' crosses a wide section of academic fields, material uses, and interests.
A persistent theme that emerged in the work and discussions of our LC this year was the centrality of collaboration as an element of sustainability, with particular attention to institutional practices that function as inadvertent barriers to the sharing of expertise and ideas across academic and co-curricular areas. Overall, our discussions about collaboration as a practice of sustainability were richly generative, but many great ideas (i.e. a campus-wide database of experts and expertise to promote and facilitate guest lectures across programs and schools) proved difficult to implement within the scope of our LC.
Instead, we decided to establish a foundational framework for ongoing collaborations using existing campus technologies. Toward that end, we created the Canvas site "Art and Sustainability across Academic Disciplines" as the framework for a project that is cross-disciplinary, and also grounded in the discipline of art. By building a framework for resources that can grow over time, we are engaging sustainability through art across academic disciplines and cultivating the potential for future collaborations.

To help you understand what is happening when you have cancer, it helps to know how your body works normally. Your body is made up of tiny building blocks called cells. Healthy cells grow and multiply when the body needs them, and die out when the body does not need them.
Cancer is made up of abnormal cells that grow whether they are needed or not. A sarcoma is a cancer that grows in body tissues. It can grow in bones, cartilage, blood vessels, fat, muscles, or tendons and other stringy tissue.
In Kaposi sarcoma (KS), cancer develops from the cells that line lymph or blood vessels. The cancer cells can also grow in the mucous membranes in the nose, mouth, lung, and anus. KS causes purple, brown, or red patches on the skin. These patches are called lesions. KS lesions can spread to other organs in the body, such as the liver and lungs. KS gets its name from Dr. Moritz Kaposi, who first described it.
The lesions can be deforming, but are not usually life-threatening. In most cases, the lesions cause no symptoms. Sometimes, though, the lesions can cause pain or swelling of the skin. When KS involves the liver, lungs, digestive system, or lymph nodes, other symptoms can develop. For example, KS tumors in the lungs can cause breathing problems.
KS may be seen in people with AIDS, but KS can also occur in people without HIV or AIDS.
Infection with human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) causes KS, although most people infected with HHV-8 do not develop KS. HHV-8 creates an inflammatory state needed for KS to grow. KS is especially aggressive in people with AIDS, because HIV infection weakens the immune system. This allows the tumors to grow more easily.

As often happens on the Internet, a comment that was made somewhat in jest has gone viral and is being offered as a serious solution to a major problem.
The author of the comment was billionaire Warren Buffett who half-kiddingly told Becky Quick of CNBC that he had a simple way to end federal budget deficits.
"I could end the deficit in five minutes. You just pass a law that says that any time there's a deficit of more than 3 percent of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. Now you've got the incentives in the right place."
Buffett was critical of Congress' squabbling over raising the debt limit, saying legislators had threatened "to blow our brains out" by ruining the country's creditworthiness.
"A more effective threat," Buffett concluded, with a laugh, "is to simply say 'If you guys can't get it done, we'll get some other guys to get it done.' "
The video of the quote can be seen at www.cnbc.com/id/45078444.
Well, that comment is making the rounds of emails as a chain letter supporting a constitutional amendment to deny legislators re-election if the deficit passes that 3 percent threshold.
Frankly, we're not certain it isn't a good idea. The only problem is the chain letter says "Warren Buffet (sic) is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise."
Except Buffett has nothing to do with the chain letter - other than offering the "fix the deficit in five minutes" quote.
So, be aware when the chain letter hits your computer, the letter and the constitutional amendment are not Buffett's ideas. This may be a fine way to get Congress' attention - but it is some anonymous computer user's plan, not Warren Buffett's.

It wouldn't be the holidays in Hollywood without the anticipated unveiling of the Kardashian Christmas card, and this year's family photo is decidedly more high fashion than last year's more traditional white Christmas.
The glam, golden, glitzy photo features the Kardashian-Jenner clan draped in black and posing in a graffiti-strewn, artistically-trashed carnival-inspired room, littered with dollar signs, pop art and magazines, that looks as if it was taken in post-Mad Max Vegas.
Shot by famed photographer David LaChappelle, the photo seems to state that life as a member of the Kardashian family is a constant media circus.

Milk may be white but it's meeting the green challenge
Milk may be white but it's meeting the green challenge
With milk per cow up over 450 percent since 1944, U.S. milk production has reduced its carbon footprint.
by Corey Geiger, Hoard's Dairyman Managing Editor
"Compared to 1944, milk production per cow is up 443 percent," Dale Bauman told attendees at the Great Lakes Regional Dairy Conference in Frankenmuth, Mich. When using more recent 2011 milk per cow data, that percentage actually climbs to 467 percent as milk production has improved to 21,345 pounds per cow.
"At the same time, the carbon footprint of a unit of milk produced in 2007 is only 37 percent of that in 1944," he said, citing joint research conducted with Jude Capper and Roger Cady. "We are producing an equal quantity of milk that requires only 21 percent of the animals, 23 percent as much feed, 35 percent of the water, 10 percent of the land area and only 24 percent as much animal waste," said the Liberty Hyde professor emeritus from Cornell University.
To say the least, dairy cows are more efficient than their ancestors.
"In 1944, the average cow utilized 65 percent of her feed intake for dairy maintenance and only 35 percent for milk synthesis," explained Bauman to the Michigan gathering. "Those numbers are essentially reversed in 2007 where the average cow utilized only 33 percent of energy intake for maintenance and 67 percent for milk production," he said. "The net result is that today a gallon of milk can be produced using fewer nutrients, less animal waste and at a lower cost," noted Bauman who was inducted into the National Dairy Shrine's Hall of Fame in 2008.
"Agriculture contributes less than 6 percent of the total U.S. carbon footprint. Animal agriculture is under 3 percent with dairy at 0.7 percent," said Bauman, noting that agriculture is doing its part. Bauman also went on to suggest that the dairy industry should get some carbon credits for feeding by-products from the human food and fiber industry which would further reduce those numbers.
Bauman noted that we cannot rest on our laurels.
"To meet the needs of humankind, we will have to produce as much food in the next 40 years as we have in the history of the world," Bauman said. "On a global basis an estimated 925 million people are undernourished and 16,000 children die from malnutrition each day," he said. "In the U.S., more than 17 million children are at risk of hunger and one in five families are food insecure."
Dairy can play a big role in meeting human nutrition needs. "The 2010 Dietary Guideline for Americans identified dairy products as a major source for four of the seven "nutrients of concern" recognized as being marginal or inadequate in adult diets," said Bauman. "Dairy provides three of the five "nutrients of concern" for children's diets."
Even at current dietary intakes, dairy contributes significant nutrients at a lower percent of calories. "Dairy only contributes 10 percent of dietary calories. However, on a percentage basis it provides: 58 percent of Vitamin D; 51 percent of calcium; 28 percent of Vitamin A and phosphorus; 26 percent of Vitamin B12; 18 percent of protein; 16 percent of zinc and potassium; and 13 percent of magnesium."

Great Comets: What Makes Them So Great?January 31, 7:30pm - 9:30pm
Manoa Campus, Art Building Auditorium
Dr. Alan Fitzsimmons from Queen's University Belfast (Northern Ireland) will speak at this Frontiers of Astronomy Community Event. Once a decade, a truly spectacular comet is visible even through the bright city lights. This year, we may see two of them. Historically, these appearances have induced both fear and wonder. In modern times, the wonder remains, and scientists use them to gain new insights into the nature of comets and the history of our solar system. While we cannot do anything about how often they appear, new facilities such as the Pan-STARRS telescope on Maui can give us advance warning about when they will arrive.
But what makes a comet "great" anyway? Come along and find out.

Firefighters investigated a blaze that may have been caused by a heater at the Roseville Auto Mall early Saturday morning.
Crews said the fire broke out around 6:30 a.m. Saturday and was caused by a heating exhaust pipe that was connected up to the roof at the Dodge dealership.
When workers arrived, they smelled smoke and immediately called for help.
Fire crews believe they got there just in time because the fire was burning in the roof above the smoke detector in the ceiling.
The flames were put out quickly, but firefighters still dealt with a lot of smoke.
According to fire officials, there was little damage to the dealership.

In vivo imaging, an umbrella term for a spectrum of technologies that facilitate visualization and quantitation of functional and anatomical events within a whole animal or person, is an area of intensive research and development. Many companies and academic centers are actively engaged in developing and refining methodologies to monitor a wide range of parameters, from larger scale measurements such as tumor size and morphology to subtle but critical indices at the cellular level, such as metabolism, subcellular dynamics, and motility.
Using these techniques, instead of more invasive methods, data points can be amassed on a much earlier time scale in a variety of contexts (e.g., monitoring the efficacy of drug candidates in clinical trials). Techniques commonly employed in in vivo imaging, depending upon the application, include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), x-ray computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), optical imaging, and more recently photo acoustic imaging (PAI).
GEN spoke to a number of scientists from companies and research laboratories, several of whom will present at this month's Wellcome Trust "Mouse Models and Disease" conference about their in vivo imaging programs.
A major focus of research the laboratory of Kevin Brindle, Ph.D., at the University of Cambridge, is to develop imaging methods that guide therapy by allowing for the earlier evaluation of the efficacy of a drug in a particular patient in a clinical trial.
"Assessing the efficacy of an antitumor drug, for example, relies on tracking a decrease in tumor volume over time—a period of days or even weeks—and some cytostatic treatments don't even have an impact in terms of tumor size," said Dr. Brindle.
MRI is commonly used in the clinical setting to visualize internal structures. In a collaboration with GE Healthcare, Dr. Brindle's lab is developing a novel MRI-based approach that boasts a 10,000-fold increase in sensitivity over conventional MRI methodologies.
The novel technique detects small carbon metabolites, which are present at a much lower concentration than water, which is the imaging target for conventional MRI.
"We take radiolabelled derivatives of these metabolites, such as pyruvate, and supercool them to just above absolute zero in order to align the spins in a field and give us a fabulous increase in sensitivity," explained Dr. Brindle.
The rate at which individual cells metabolize the compound can then be correlated with the effect of the drug on those cells' metabolism. "When we treat a tumor, we see that its metabolism is slowed," he continued. "In some cases we can obtain very rapid feedback on drug action, on the order of 24–48 hours."
Getting a jump on tumor cell response in this manner affords clinicians the opportunity to alter or adjust therapies much sooner than would normally be possible, which ultimately translates to improved therapeutic practice.
Dr. Brindle listed several advantages that his lab's adaptation of MRI holds over PET, which is widely used in the clinical setting, particularly in the diagnosis of tumors of the prostate and brain.
"The glucose surrogate typically used in PET, fluorodeoxyglucose, isn't taken up well by the prostate and is, in fact, preferentially taken up by the kidney, which limits the use of PET in prostate cancer," he said.
Citing the high background glucose levels in the brain, Dr. Brindle went on to point out that it can be difficult to discern specific brain signals using PET.
Finally, the increased radioactive hazard that PET-based techniques carry limits the number of repeat exams that a clinician might run during early evaluation of a patient.
Dr. Brindle's adaptation of MRI is currently being used in a prostate cancer trial under way at the University of California, San Francisco. It it is also slated for trials of glioma, lymphoma, and breast cancer.
"Its potential application isn't limited to oncology," he emphasized. "We are planning studies in cardiac imaging and kidney disease, so this could potentially have widespread application in the clinic."
Research at Animascope focuses on two main subdisciplines of imaging.
"One of our projects is aimed at developing innovative nuclear and optical imaging tracers for oncology and diabetes in the biomarker field," said Arnaud Briat, Ph.D., CSO. "In the equipment field, Animascope is setting up a collaborative consortium to develop a new generation CT scanner based on an exclusive license recently acquired by Animascope in the preclinical, veterinary and human clinical fields."
Animascope is also developing another project that aims to replace current invasive methodologies by x-ray imaging technology in the toxicology field.
"Longitudinal whole-system datasets generated by noninvasive imaging provide a platform for investigating the time course relationship between target, disease state, and therapeutic. This data can be extremely valuable in interpreting early clinical results," noted Dr. Briat.
Soluble T-cell receptors (TCRs) are an entirely novel class of targeting agent for cancer and diabetes since they zero in on antigens not accessible to monoclonal antibodies. A recent TCR-based Animascope research project has garnered a Eureka label from the High Level Group of the EU's European Innovation Institute, which recognizes groundbreaking research applications with significant potential for commercial success.
The application, ANIDIAG, is based on leveraging a SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) imaging platform to detect radiolabelled TCRs, which were developed by Immunocore, that have greatly enhanced affinity for target antigens and which have potential as therapeutic agents in cancer and type I diabetes.

Olympic swimmer Dara Torres has no trouble focusing in the moments before a big race, but the athlete admits she's turned to medication to help her get a good night's sleep.
Asked how she gets shut-eye before an important competition, she tells Health: "It's called Ambien," referring to the prescription drug used to treat insomnia.
"There are a lot of athletes who will take it if they need to fall asleep before they compete – because you're thinking about your race and you're tossing and turning," she says.
Torres, who at age 45 will be the oldest female Olympic swimmer ever if she competes in the summer games in London this year, says she doesn't get groggy the next morning.
"I feel pretty good," she tells the magazine. "It's not like I'm doing it all the time, but it definitely helps you to conk out."
As for her age, Torres, says she doesn't have a problem with people bringing it up. "To me, it's an honor [to be the oldest swimmer]," she says. "People say, 'You must get sick of everyone talking about your age,' but it really doesn't bother me."
Still, she admits, she does feel her years more and more.
"I mean, I definitely have aches and pains that most middle-aged people have," she says.
But Torres isn't bothered by younger competitors. "Not many things psych me out!" she says with a laugh. "I just try to have fun."
She even brings that carefree attitude right up onto the block for each race.
"I always feel sick to my stomach before I swim," she admits. "But the minute I'm on the block, everything is calm and I'm ready to go. The way I look at it is, 'I've done everything I can at this point, I should just enjoy it.' "

This is a recently popular expression of agreement that carries a subtext. It is more than agreement with an idea (observation, opinion); it is a friendly assertion that the speaker has already had the same idea–as in, "yeah, I know"–but it goes further: it seeks validation for the speaker's claim of precedence, from the very person whose claim he's jumping. The subtext might be "Oh, you took my idea; you should be agreeing with ME, not vice versa."

Sullivan's Island Town Council welcomed two new council members, re-elected a familiar face and elevated another familiar member to mayor in the past municipal election. Those results came into effect Tuesday at the monthly council meeting.
Mike Perkis, former mayor pro tem and current mayor, called the transition "very good (and) very classy." Carl Smith, the outgoing mayor who had served on town council for 34 years, narrowly lost a write-in re-election campaign that showed a divide among Sullivan's Island residents on who should lead the island.
At the heart of the dispute was the rebuilding of Sullivan's Island Elementary School and the issue of whether residents should be able to vote on the size of the school. Smith supported a referendum to allow a vote but was consistently the only opposing vote to six other council members.
The two new council members – Chauncey Clark and Susan Middaugh – both support current school plans, as does re-elected Pat O'Neil. Perkis said that although council may be more united now, he doesn't want different – and perhaps dissenting – opinions held back during council discussions.
"I hope we don't (always agree)," Perkis said. "But, once the council agrees, I firmly believe we're going to move forward as one."
Council recognized Smith and outgoing councilwoman Madeleine McGee, who chose not to seek re-election.
Among Sullivan's Island Town Council's priorities is to develop a better communication plan. In questionnaires with the four elected officials published in recent editions of the Moultrie News, all four mentioned external communication with residents as an area to improve.
One resident suggested in a Letter to the Editor of the Moultrie News that council should video-record all meetings subject to Freedom of Information Act guidelines. Perkis said that option will be explored, as will others.
Town administrator Andy Benke suggested having an AM radio station that could broadcast traffic information, information about upcoming events and council updates. All options, including their financial costs, will be considered soon in committee meetings, Perkis said. All meetings are currently recorded for audio. The recordings are available to be listened to if a person comes to town hall. The minutes of all meetings are posted online, he added.
Tuesday's council meeting included the passing of an ordinance for the fiscal year 2014 budget and for the water and sewer budget. It lasted an hour and a half, which is an improvement from the norm. Perkis said the meetings shouldn't last for hours because he wants more thorough committee meetings.
This requires council members to be better prepared and ready to act immediately during council meetings. "I can't remember the last time we had an hour and a half (long) meeting," Perkis said, adding that about 50-60 people were in attendance. "I hope they keep showing up."
Jerry Kaynard was voted by his council peers to be mayor pro tem.
The following committee assignments were also made official:
Ways and Means: Mike Perkis, chair; Jerry Kaynard, co-chair; all members of council
Personnel: Jerry Kaynard, chair; Susan Middaugh; Mary Jane Watson
