Peace Review
SUMMER 2001: Volume 13, Number 2
Special Editor: Tracy Seeley, University of San Francisco
Deadline for Submissions: January 7, 2001
Poetry makes many things happen: from narrative and poems which give voice to the oppressed or name the oppressor, to poetry whose apolitical lyricism resists the artistic mandates of an oppressive state, to works in which language itself is a revolutionary act. This issue of Peace Review will explore literature and the arts of peace, understood in their broadest sense. We welcome essays that explore such matters as aesthetics and the politics of peace; literature's role in peace and justice movements; writers' relation to the state and human rights. We also welcome poetry or short fiction related to Peace Review's focus in this special issue.
Peace Review is a quarterly, multidisciplinary, transnational journal of research and analysis, focusing on the current issues and controversies that underlie the promotion of a more peaceful world. We define peace research to include human rights, development, ecology, culture, race, gender and related issues. Our task is to present the results of this research and thinking in short (no more than 3500 words), accessible and substantive essays.
Please send for Peace Review's Writer's Guidelines by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling (415) 422-2910.
Send essay submissions by email attachment to: firstname.lastname@example.com. Editorial correspondence, including manuscripts and disks can be sent to Robert Elias, Peace Review, Peace and Justice Studies, University of San Francisco, 2130 Fulton Street, San Francisco, CA 94117, USA. Tel: 415-422-6349/2910. Fax: 415-422-5671, or 415-388-2631, Attn. Elias. Email: email@example.com.

The Fantastic Four clearly prefer teamwork to individual endeavour, but it was every man for himself at the premiere of the latest Marvel movie adaptation. With crowds ten-deep pressed against the railings, it was obvious that the lure of the red carpet remains the strongest attraction in showbiz. Although in this case the carpet was blue - chosen to match the tight-fitting livery of the crime-fighting quartet.
As a concept, the red carpet stretches back far before movieland, rolling back through time before the birth of Jesus Christ. In the Greek tragedy, Agamemnon, the eponymous king, initially refused to walk on

What a Microsoft Mistake Can Teach You About Putting Customers First
I've lambasted Sony and their Playstation woes already, but now its Microsoft's turn. Whether intentional or not, there's something obnoxious and inconvenient about the XBOX 360's memory!
I was trying to spend a quiet Saturday evening online, killing disgruntled aliens with my good buddy Joe G. We'd planned on playing the supposedly spectacular Halo: Reach cooperative (co-op) campaign for quite a while, and I say supposedly because I didn't actually get to play it.
Upon entering the co-op mode, Joe and I received the following error:
"One or more players do not have an Xbox 360 Hard Drive. An Xbox 360 Hard Drive is required to play co-op on Xbox LIVE."
Who didn't have the hard drive? That would be yours truly. Now, before you say: "well, of course you need to have some memory to play a game, you idiot!", I should tell you that my base model XBOX came with 4GB of built-in memory, and that I have a 16 GB USB card plugged in to save files to as well. So, although I have 20GB of memory (which was enough to play other games online), neither of these qualifies as a physical hard drive – a fact now made painfully obvious to me. Silly me, I thought memory was memory.
I should also mention that Halo is Microsoft's flagship title. And there was no warning of this requirement on the game box I purchased. AND, Microsoft said in December that the issue is "temporary" and that they were "working to resolve it." Well, guess what? They didn't fix anything. Instead of taking the time to actually fix the issue, they slapped the warning on the box as an afterthought and sold hard drive-less XBOX systems bundled with the damn game.
(That sound you may have just heard was my palm hitting my forehead).
How much does Microsoft charge for a hard drive? ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY DOLLARS. You would have to work really hard to convince me that Microsoft didn't plan this from the start, or at least find this to be a profitable mistake. Microsoft has a history of nickel-and-diming consumers with the Xbox 360, whether it's charging $100 to add WiFi capabilities in the early days of the 360, removing HD cables and headsets from being included in the system, charging $15 for a kit to just charge your controller, or increasing the yearly online fee by $10 to $60, I'm tired of Microsoft having their hands in my pockets!
So, with a steely resolve, I decided this: Microsoft will not see a dime from me this time. I still needed and have purchased a hard drive (those aliens aren't going to kill themselves), but a quick search online reveals many used drives and generic competitors. I chose a generic one ($31 – yeah!), but either way, Microsoft gets nothing from me for their insolence. It's a small victory for me, but a victory nonetheless.
What could Microsoft have done differently to not draw my ire? I think it goes back to core principles of customer service that any business, big or small, should follow:
Do not mislead your customers. Do not make promises you cannot/ do not intend to keep. And most importantly, do not make the consumer pay for your mistakes!
Notice I never said "do not make mistakes." Those are unavoidable. How you react to them is what dictates how you will be perceived.
Is there anything else Microsoft should have done to avoid this (profitable) mistake? Do you see any more customer service takeaways from the situation I mentioned?
Bubba is the Quality Logo Products mascot. He may have started out as "just a stress ball," but he's come a long way since the company's launch in 2003. Bubba has been immortalized in numerous vector artwork designs for internal and external promotions, and you can see him change outfits on the Quality Logo Products homepage whenever a holiday rolls around. Oh, and he thinks pants are for the birds. You can connect with Bubba on Google+
Well, you see…. the "commentary" from Microsoft would be the notice on new copies of the game. The commentary from users would be flocking angrily to message boards. To no avail of course.
Ugh. This makes me seriously angry. And honestly, this makes me less likely to purchase an Xbox – and this is after many, many, MANY years of longing to play Fable! Bad job, Microsoft.
I didn't mean to sour you on a purchase. Just know their tricks and plan ahead. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater Mandy…. =)
(Does that even apply here? Hmmm… I'm going with it…)
Maybe I won't totally write it off. But this purchase is definitely going further down on my "must buy" list. That $200 is going to my France trip fund.
Wow I wasn't aware of this. I have the original 20GB 360 so I never ran into this problem, but considering the newer slim 4GB model is one of their top sellers I can't believe they still haven't fixed this problem.
But at least standard multiplayer is unaffected. That's where the real fun is. =)
Even standard multiplayer doesn't work for many old games, like Burnout Paradise (one of my favorite games ever btw) without a hard drive.
That. Is. Lame.
(Thumbs up on the Paradise comment though)
It's a holdover error from when XBOX's could be bought with no internal memory. That actually makes sense.
That it's an oversight on current systems is baffling however.
I have an Xbox 360 and I love Halo, but luckily I am not skilled enough to have to worry about this co-op/memory issue — at least, not yet. But if I ever do, it's good to know that there is a cheaper alternative for what would otherwise be an expensive investment.
It's pretty shady of Microsoft to spring that error message on you with no prior warning, and then expect you to pay for their mistakes. Boooo.
You would think that they would have those little stickers that say something along the lines of Hard Drive required to Play. Like you have to have one controller to play said game so on the back in the lower left hand side it states one controller is required to play
They do. It was on Joe's copy of the game 😉 Not mine.
No no no no… It increased BY $10 TO $60. It just seems petty to ask for $60 when you're already getting $50. From $10 to $60 would cause a rise in the "Accident" rate of Microsoft employees.
"The way god intended" – I nearly laughed Gatorade out of my nose.
As rampant as the Three Rings of Death, there is no way through all of their testing that they didn't know of this issue. That they still pushed the 360 out, of course they are gonna screw you in any aspect of your wallet.
With all the troubles Sony and Microsoft have been having has anyone noticed that Nintendo has been a shinning example of how a gaming system/company is supposed to operate? Hell they were hacked and the hackers refused to maliciously target them.
Nice post Jeff! As you know, I'm not a gamer–but if I was, I would get a 360, and this would make me furious! I hate when you buy things that are not at least mostly all inclusive. They could at least make it well known that you have to purchase a hard drive to play–that would lessen the blow at least.
Great job finding a cheaper alternative! Sounds like something I would do. =)
>> a quick search online reveals many used drives and generic competitors. I chose a generic one
Does this mean that the generic Xbox hard drives absolutely WILL WORK with Halo Reach on Xbox Live?
My son tried to play Halo Reach against his friends on Xbox Live on our brand new 4GB Xbox machine, but we too discovered that a hard drive is required for this. I'd like to install a hard drive, but I read somewhere that ONLY A GENUINE MICROSOFT Xbox hard drive will allow Halo to work in Co-Op mode!
True? False? What's the real answer? I'd hate to buy a generic hard drive only to find out that it doesn't work either.
Any suggestions?? Thanks…
Well, I bought a generic one, plugged it in, and got my Halo on with no problem whatsoever! Now, "generic" can mean a lot of things. If you get one cobbled together out of random computer chips and held together with duct tape, you might not be so lucky =]
Well, I'm referring to the typical generic units that are found on Amazon, like this one (http://www.amazon.com/320GB-HDD-Hard-Drive-Xbox-Slim/dp/B007JM8ULS/ref=pd_cp_vg_2) or this one (http://www.amazon.com/Black-250GB-Hard-Drive-Disk-Xbox/dp/B006SVUQNQ/ref=pd_cp_vg_0).
Jeff, do those look okay?
Yes, either should work great for you! =] Both of those products say in their listings that they will work with the "Slim" model, which is the 4GB version you said you had. Those are almost exactly what I purchased. Just look at the savings!!
Great. I want to be as sure as possible that these will allow my son to play Halo Reach co-op with his friends — otherwise it's not really much of a savings, right? 🙂
Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
A year later and still a lie

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
THURSDAY, Feb. 6, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Oncologists are overall very satisfied with their careers, according to a study published online Jan. 27 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Tait D. Shanafelt, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and colleagues surveyed U.S. oncologists (1,117 completed full length surveys; 49.6 percent women) to evaluate burnout and career satisfaction at all career stages.
The researchers found that 33.8 percent of the respondents were in academic practice (AP) and 43.2 percent were in private practice (PP). On average, oncologists worked 57.6 hours per week (AP, 58.6 hours per week; PP, 62.9 hours per week) and saw a mean of 52 outpatients per week. Based on the emotional exhaustion and/or depersonalization domain of Maslach Burnout Inventory, 44.7 percent of oncologists were burned out (AP, 45.9 percent; PP, 50.5 percent; P = 0.18). In univariate and multivariate analyses, the primary professional predictor of burnout for both PP and AP oncologists was hours per week devoted to direct patient care. While the majority of oncologists in AP and PP were satisfied with their career (82.5 percent) and specialty (80.4 percent) choices, these career satisfaction measures were lower for those in PP than those in AP (all P < 0.006).
"Those oncologists who devote the greatest amount of their professional time to patient care seem to be at greatest risk for burnout," the authors write.

For as big as Landry-Walker's lead got Friday, Coach Brian Gibson couldn't let out a sigh of relief until the end.
The No. 1 Charging Buccaneers advanced to the LHSAA Top 28 with a 63-55 road win over No. 8 Salmen in the Class 4A quarterfinals.
Somehow, Salmen turned a 16-point deficit into a four-point deficit, but Landry-Walker found its cushion on the free throw line.
The Buccaneers (33-5) made 15-of-20 free throws in the fourth quarter. Senior guards Tyree Griffin (10 points) and Corey Wells (17 points) each had six free throws in the frame.
"I never get nervous in a game like this," Griffin said. "Coach just said come out and finish. We're finishers."
Landry-Walker looked every bit the part of a No. 1 seed at the start of this game. The Buccaneers took the home crowd out of the game immediately with an 18-7 lead. That lead grew to 28-17 at halftime and 42-28 after three quarters.
"I just knew we had to make free throws," said Gibson, who advances to his fourth Top 28 tournament in seven years. "It's all about how this group has come together. They're playing to show this city that these two schools are great together. They were excellent apart but even better together."
Lamar Peters told his teammates he was going to have a big game Friday, and he more than delivered one.
The sophomore had 16 of his team-high 19 points in the first half. He nailed his first four 3-pointers in the game, but his 23-footer at the halftime buzzer might have been the biggest head-turner. Coach Jay Carlin called it a "dagger."
"Coach Gibson said when it gets down to 1:30, just milk the clock," Peters said. "Whoever had the ball last was the one to take the shot. I knew everyone was going to box-and-one Tyree, so today I was just focused. I want so bad to get to the state championship."
Said Wells: "He's the man who gets us started every game. That's what he did."
Despite how well the Spartans (23-9) played down the stretch, Carlin said his team couldn't recover from its start. Salmen also had five straight turnovers late in the third quarter.
"The first half was about rebounding and taking care of the ball," Carlin said. "We had too many turnovers, and we gave them too many second and third opportunities. The second half we did a better job of scrapping. When they went to their spread, we got after them a little bit. We finally found a combination on the court that didn't turn the ball over."
The Buccaneers' lead grew to 16 points on a Keytaon Thompson layup in the fourth quarter, but the Spartans started making the 3-pointers they missed early.
With 2:50 left, Corey Vinson (19 points) drained a 3-pointer and later made a free throw to cut Landry-Walker's lead to 49-45.
Twice, Landry-Walker was called for fouls on 3-pointers. Salmen cut the deficit to 51-46, but Landry-Walker kept getting to the line. Chris Vickers had a game-high 21 points, including nine from the free throw line. Griffin targeted the 6-foot-4 Vickers all night.
"Our team is so humble," Wells said. "We've played in close games like this before. We knew we had to knock down the free throws."
Landry-Walker's defense stayed stingy for three quarters.
"We were running them off the 3-point line really well," Gibson said. "We felt like we could defend their bigs one-on-one. Once they got comfortable, we started doubling down."
Said Wells: "I'm trying to put more defensive rebounds in my game. I try to help my team out. I'm there to help my big men if they're in trouble. We love defense. That's what we work on every day at practice."

It seems like just yesterday you were reading "Goodnight Moon" to your little girl, and now — right before your very eyes — she's growing into a woman. As she develops, your daughter is bound to have questions about the physical and emotional changes of puberty.
As a parent, it's your job to listen to her concerns and keep the lines of communication open. Here are some tips on how to make that happen:
If you're not entirely comfortable having a conversation about puberty, practice what you want to say first or ask your doctor for advice.
Remember, it's important to talk about puberty — and the feelings associated with it — as openly as possible so that your daughter will be prepared for the changes ahead.

London is Europe's largest city with over 7 million people. Yet, despite all this frenetic human activity, London remains one of the World's greenest cities with parks, woodlands and the River Thames.
The RSPB's reserves at Rainham Marshes and Rye Meads are fantastic places for wildlife and people. Wildfowl and breeding waders visit the wetlands of Rainham in their thousands, while kingfishers and common terns are the stars of the show at Rye Meads. Both reserves are easily accessible from Central London.
There are mixed fortunes for London's birds. House sparrows have disappeared from many parts of London. The RSPB is carrying out a study to try to understand the reasons why and more importantly, what can be done to bring the 'Cockney' (house) sparrow back. London's tall buildings act as artificial cliffs and a plentiful supply of pigeons has seen peregrines colonise the centre of London.
The RSPB runs hundreds of events in London each year suitable for all ages and abilities.

Excuse me for this interference but I'm strongly interested in this topic.
As long as I can see, Minix3 is "just" a kernel that in the near/far
future could be actually used to replace the Linux or the BSD kernel in
a quite "normal" distribution, like Debian. There is nothing in Minix3
that makes it "doomed" to embedded systems. It is perfectly possible to
adapt it to ambedded systems /and/ desktop ones.
It is already possible to install Minix3 in a emulator or in real PC and
add to it X11 (with TWM or Equinox) and TCP/IP support. The X11 layer
just uses the same code of Linux and BSD and makes possible to have the
same level of user-friendliness. Once you have X11, developing a
user-friendly desktop-oriented system should not be very hard (thanks to
Equinox or maybe, in the distant future, thanks to
KDE/Gnome/Enlightenment). Moreover, Minix3 is designed to ease the task
of developing device drivers and other non-kernel code so it should not
be very hard to port Alsa or other multimedia/games components to it.
I mean: Minix3 could became very similar to any normal Linux or BSD
distro in the near/distant future. It is just a matter of manpower.
As a demostration of this, just think to the fact that Minix3 is
currently being ported to OLPC, so it will be /forced/ to became
desktop-oriented and user-friendly at least as much as Linux and BSD
currenlty are. It is also possible that this will promote the porting of
Minix3 to UMPC and mobile telephones (a là android/openmoko/limo). There
are people working to a ARM porting, already...
Beside this, it is perfectly reasonable to keep Minix3 as small and
simple as possible. This does not conflict with the goal to be
user-friendly. Think to QNX and its small GUI (Photon), for example. It
should not be impossible to adapt a small GUI library like PicoGUI to
Minix3 (what about DirectFB?).
BTW, QNX is a good example of what could became Minix3 in the future.

Unfortunatley, that's true. But it does not have to be so forever.
Minix3 is being reviewed more and more on web sites and paper magazines
and is more and more used as a educational tool in many universities. It
is just a matter of time to have a reasonably large community of
developers working at it.
IMVHO, the two main reasons why Minix3 is not collecting a larger
community of users and developers are these:
1) A desktop-oriented (x11+equinox), usable distro is missing. There is
nothing like Debian or Ubuntu in the Minix3 world and this makes
relatively hard to try Minix and experiment with it for the end user.
Having a smaller community of end-users means to have a less-appetizing
system for developers.
2) It is not clear what makes Minix3 "better" or just "different" from
Linux and BSD. Put aside the more readable code (useful for educational
purpose), Minix3 is very similar to a scaled-down version of Linux, like
the ones you can see inside your router or inside many embedded systems.
As a consequence, developers devote their efforts to Linux.
As long as I can see, it is time to develop a small, desktop-oriented
distro in order to promote Minix3, to create a larger user basis and to
stimulate developers. It is also time to develop a "reference
application" that makes clear the overall goal of Minix3. The OLPC
porting could be this application.

Corning, NY -- Authorities investigating the death of a man found hidden inside a cupboard in a vacant Corning home last week held a news conference Sunday, but released few details to why he was killed.
Phillip J. Lough, 28, whose last known address was in the town of Bath, was found dead Saturday in a large kitchen cupboard inside a mansion at 222 Pine St. in the city of Corning, police said. The property is listed as having six bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms and seven fireplaces sprawling throughout the more than 5,300-square foot brick "mansion" in Corning's Upper Southside.
Ryan J. Morrow, 20, of Corning, and Jacob A. Horn, 23, of Painted Post, have been charged with second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence. Morrow and Horn were arraigned on the charges Sunday in Corning City Court and sent to the Steuben County jail without bail. They are expected to return to court Monday.
At the news conference Sunday afternoon, state police Capt. Scott Crosier, Corning police Chief Sal Trentanelli and Steuben County District Attorney Brooks Baker discussed the first homicide in Steuben County this year.
Lough suffered head trauma, but the authorities would not say if a weapon was used, Trooper Mark O'Donnell said, speaking for the state police. They also would not release a motive in the homicide, or say how the victim and suspects knew each other, O'Donnell said.
Corning police went to the house around 6 p.m. Friday after receiving a report of an open door at the vacant Pine Street property. There was no electricity and no signs of anyone inside the house so police left, according to state police.
Officers returned Saturday to search the house during daylight. That's when they found Lough's body in the large kitchen cupboard, state police said.
Corning police contacted state police to lead the investigation, troopers said. Investigators said they found evidence at the scene, but did not elaborate. That evidence led investigators to one of the two suspects, Crosier said at the news conference. That suspect led investigators to the second suspect, O'Donnell confirmed. Investigators spoke with Horn and Morrow, but state police would not say what the men told them.
Investigators said they think Lough was killed Wednesday night, three days before his body was found. An autopsy was scheduled for today.
Investigators called the homicide an "isolated incident and not a random act," O'Donnell confirmed after the news conference.

At Last, Some Fiscal Sanity
Unfortunately, the fiscal sanity isn't happening here.
It's an awful shame when the finance minister from Zimbabwe--one of the most blighted, backward, and failing countries in the world--shows the kind of sense that our own leaders here in America can't quite fathom. Live within your means. Try to honestly project your revenues. Cut spending instead of printing another trillion dollars.
This is the most positive change I've seen in Zimbabwe in a long time. Not because it represents a big step forward (given the actual value of the Zim dollar, I still wonder how they'll manage to dig out of the hole Mugabe dug for the nation), but because it represents some real power sharing. This is the first meaningful thing that's been done by a member of an opposition party in a long time.
I wouldn't and don't trust Mugabe to keep his word, to share power peacefully, or to allow the kinds of changes that might ultimately save Zimbabwe from the final collapse that would destroy the government and fairly force a civil war, but it's nice to latch on to a little hope (and change!) now and again. Especially when it is embodied in good ideas.

Nothing personal, of course.
"I just try to make people accountable," the Heisman Trophy winner said.
But the No. 1 Tigers, who face No. 2 Oregon on Monday in the BCS championship game, don't always need Newton to act as enforcer. He's one of many on the roster.
"Everybody is (a leader), I think," linebacker Daren Bates said. "We all feed of the same energy in the locker room. We all play hard. We all play for each other."
Auburn's team-wide resiliency (six wins by eight points or less) and Newton's flair for the dramatic are two elements that suggest the curse that has plagued other Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks may not apply to Newton.
Winners of college football's top individual award have been largely hit or miss in national championship situations over the decades. More recently for quarterbacks, however, success in the finale has been fleeting. In the BCS era, which began in 1998, Heisman winning quarterbacks are 1-4 in national championship games that same season. But the four losing quarterbacks have little in common with Newton.
First, none of the four was considered a high-level NFL prospect. USC's Matt Leinart is the only former first-round pick (2006) in that group and the only one to win the Heisman and the national title in the same season (2004). Newton, a junior, has been rated by most NFL draft sites as a sure first-round pick if he enters the draft.
Florida State's Chris Weinke (2000 Heisman) was a fourth-round pick in 2001. Nebraska's Eric Crouch (2001) was a third-round pick in 2002 but moved to wide receiver. Oklahoma's Jason White (2003) went undrafted. Ohio State's Troy Smith (2006) was a fifth-round pick in 2007. Crouch and White never took a snap in the NFL. Weinke was a journeyman, as is Smith, who is still active.
Also, none of those five quarterbacks faced nearly the adversity Newton has during the regular season, which could better prepare him for Monday's big stage.
Auburn's season hasn't mirrored the dominance of most BCS title game participants. The Tigers average margin of victory was 18.2 points and they won six games by eight points or less and four by a field goal or less. The Tigers also trailed by more than two touchdowns in four games and were tied or trailed in the fourth quarter in five games.
By contrast, the Ducks average margin of victory was 30.9. The teams of the four losing Heisman quarterbacks had margins of victory ranging from 25.9 (Ohio State) to 35.2 (Oklahoma) and combined to win four games by a touchdown or less. They also combined to lose seven times.
In other words, those four didn't face as many close games as Newton.
Newton, the leader of the Tigers' comeback wins, has thrown 28 touchdown passes and run for 20 with a combined 17 of those scores covering at least 30 yards and eight for more than 50 yards.
But Auburn coach Gene Chizik said that as good as Newton has been, he couldn't have engineered those comebacks by himself.
"Cam has been surrounded by 10 other very good football players on the offense that have given him the chance to make those plays," Chizik said.
Several Auburn players said the team's slow starts came about due to their own mistakes. One suggested the team enters games too pumped up, leading to mental errors. Others say they simply lacked focused early. Whatever the reason, in tough times players form both sides of the ball will encourage one another.
"We always go to each other benches and just talk and keep each other motivated," Bates said.
Sometimes things get loud, but it's never taken the wrong way.
"Nobody's worried about their feelings," wide receiver Darvin Adams said. "If someone says something to you, you just soak it in and keep moving."
Team-wide accountability aside, in the end, Newton is the rallying point.
"He's a leader," offensive tackle Lee Ziemba said. "When he gets going he's hard to stop."
As good as Auburn has been late in games, however, Newton said he could do without the drama on Monday.
"I think the fans will relish the two-minute heroics," he said. "But for me, I'm hoping that this game is stress free as possible."

BEAVER TOWNSHIP- The South Range Local School District is facing an operating deficit by July 2014.
The school board Monday night accepted Treasurer Jim Phillips' five-year forecast which predicts the district to be operating in a deficit of $884,600 by the end of the next fiscal year and $2.7 million the following one. The district will have a $799,945 carryover at the end of this year, according to the forecast.
According to Phillips, the projections include the renewal levy on the November ballot. If it fails, the district could be facing a $1 million deficit by the end of next year, ballooning to over $3 million the following year, he said.
Phillips reminded the board and the public that the forecast only shows what the budget will look like if the district continues to operate in the same manner in the coming years, acting as a warning of impending problems.
"The point is to show that we need to do something about it," he said. "This shows what will happen if we continue on the same path, which we are not permitted to do (operate in a deficit)."
Phillips also noted that the deficit had been projected two years ago, but that financial maneuvers including staff cuts and the shale gas bonus had delayed it. He said that although expenditures continue to increase, revenue from the state and property taxes does not, causing the deficit.
In other business, the board approved the consideration of a comprehensive update to the board policy manual.
According to schools Superintendent Dennis Dunham, the school board and administration have been working with the Ohio School Board Association (OSBA) and the Northeast Ohio Learning Associates (NEOLA) the past year to update the bylaws, which will be available on the school's website if accepted at the November board meeting.
The board also approved an addendum to its contract with Nutrition Group for management of the cafeteria, agreeing to pay an upfront cost for personnel and curriculum that will be reconciled at the end of the school year. According to Phillips the term of agreement is usually included in the company's contracts, but had been missed in South Range's.
Also at the meeting, Dunham reminded residents that the district has a 2.4-mill, 10-year renewal levy on the November ballot. Generating approximately $430,555 annually, the levy enables the district to maintain its level of operation, he said. He reminded residents that it is a renewal levy and will not raise tax rates.
The next regular board meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Nov. 19 at the K-12 campus.

Analysis of Long-Term State Investments in Teacher Quality
Principal Investigators
Linda Darling-Hammond, Stanford University
Barnett Berry, Southeast Center for Teaching Quality (SECTQ)
The purpose of this project was to assess teacher policy infrastructures and outcomes in states that in recent years pursued a teacher quality agenda. The project drew on analyses of the status of teaching reports developed by the state partners of the National Commission on Teaching & Americas Future (NCTAF) as well as on more in-depth studies of two state cases where substantial systemic work was done to overhaul teacher education and licensing, induction, and professional development. The two states were: North Carolina, with a focus on state investments in teacher development; and Connecticut, with a focus on state school finance, licensing, and induction reforms that enhance equity and build teacher development.
Main Research Questions
- How have states built and sustained a policy strategy focused on the improvement of teaching over a period of years?
- What have been the consequences of sustained teaching policy strategies for teaching, learning, and the development of a strong teacher force within the state?
Retrospective case study, document analyses

A Case of Successful Teaching Policy: Connecticut's Long-Term Efforts to Improve Teaching and Learning
A Research Report by Suzanne M. Wilson, Linda Darling-Hammond, and Barnett Berry, February 2001.Description:
This Research Report describes 15-years' worth of successful effort by Connecticut to implement a comprehensive set of teaching quality policies to support improved student learning. The authors hypothesize that the power of Connecticut's teaching policy reform lies not simply in their comprehensiveness and in the state's political stability over the last decade but also in the power of policies to build capacity in teachers, students, administrators, teacher educators and state department staff. A Policy Brief based on this report is also available.Abstract:PDFBriefAbstractOriginal Study
In this monograph, the authors describe Connecticut's long-term efforts to implement a comprehensive set of teaching quality policies to support improved student learning. The authors begin by describing the 15-year evolution of policies designed to recruit, prepare, and support teachers, while also creating greater accountability for the acquisition of knowledge and skills on the part of both students and teachers. That description is followed by a summary of the large concomitant gains in student achievement in both mathematics and literacy and an evaluation of competing explanations for these gains. The authors conclude by hypothesizing that the power of Connecticut's teaching policy reforms lies not simply in their comprehensiveness and in the state's political stability over the last decade but also in the power of the policies to build capacity in all participants: teachers, students, administrators, teacher educators, and state department staff alike.

Do We Have Permission to Talk About Our Birth Experiences?AngEngland
Today a negative comment was left on my post about pregnancy horror stories. While my post was really relating a story from a much older woman in the grocery store who was just flat determined to share a horror story with me no matter what…
What I want to discuss is another comment left afterwards in response by Brannan.
She says:
How sad is it that pregnancy and birth is talked about SO little that the only time someone who had a bad experience feels like they can get it off their chest is when someone else is pregnant (which clearly is the ONLY time to discuss ALL things baby)?
Birth junkies, unite! Come hash it out with me, good and bad, any time – EXCEPT when I'm pregnant.
Her take is that women who had unexpected or traumatic birth experiences only feel safe discussing those experiences with other pregnant women. Which makes me really wonder – is that true?
I'm a doula and childbirth educator. A HUGE part of my job when I meet with clients who have experienced childbirth before is to listen to their birth stories of previous births. Often traumatic experiences is what is driving them to seek out my services in subsequent births. So listening to what they went through is a big, big part of what I DO when I have my "doula hat" on.
Do most women not have that ability with knowledgable friends and family? Do most women not have anyone to help them process their birth story? I know for me, my mom and midwife borth are women that I turn to and rehash each birth with. It helps me fill in the mental gaps, answers questions I may have had about something that was said or done during the birth, and just helps me feel a sense of closure.
Maybe the women who accost a pregnant woman in the grocery store aren't looking to burst her bubble. Maybe they are looking for their own sense of closure on an experience they didn't fully understand and no one helped them process.
Those of you who are Mommas already, what has your experience been? Do you have a safe place to turn to process your previous birth experiences (good or bad) or do you feel like you've never been able to do so?

Hey, I accidentally got a few drops of cleaner in the deep fryer at the place I work. Did I raise the chances of killing anyone? I mean, shit, did I poison the hot oil that fried the deep fry food? I'm pretty worried man, pretty fucking worried.
#53469 to #53463 - cannedpeas (11/17/2012) [-]
If its only a few drops, I wouldn't worry. I'm sure the worst that'll happen is someone will get sick, and if they do, assuming you work in fast-food, they'll blame it on that.

It might be lethal if you pour that much, and everyone will be fine.
#53500 to #53478 - HURLEYSURFERDUDE (11/17/2012) [-]
Ask your manager say it was an accident. Worst case scenario youll just empty the fryer and put in new oil. Besides shouldnt you drain the oil before cleaning the fryer?
#53466 to #53463 - Surfandskim (11/17/2012) [-]
A few drops? I doubt it.
If it makes you feel better I once saw a cook piss a pressure fryer and people seemed ok XD

• Acute intestinal ischemia and infarction remain serious clinical problems despite early operative intervention. An accurate and reproducible method of assessing ischemictissue is critical to determine the precise limits of resection. The purpose of this study was to compare the utility of infrared photoplethysmography, intravenous fluorescein, and Doppler ultrasound in assessing intestinal ischemia in an operative canine model. After five segmental mesenteric arterial ligations in each of six conditioned dogs, the detection threshold for the limits of arterial perfusion of each modality was determined and correlated with the respective histopathologic specimens. Infrared photoplethysmography proved to be 100% sensitive for ischemia when its waveform amplitudes were 50% or greater of matched reference waveforms, whereas both intravenous fluorescein and Doppler ultrasound were 88% sensitive. All were comparably specific. We conclude that infrared photoplethysmography is comparable to intravenous fluorescein and Doppler ultrasound in the assessment of ischemic intestinal segments.

Block parties are usually a fun opportunity to meet your neighbors but if you're living a non-traditional lifestyle like the stars of Sister Wives, you might be worried about being accepted.
On Sunday's episode of TLC's reality show (9 p.m. ET), the Brown family will come face to face with a neighbor and her family.
"When I first heard that they were moving into the neighborhood what I had to say was less than gracious," a woman named Edna says in a clip of the episode. "My daughter, she says, 'But Mom, they're grown people that made a conscious decision to live the lifestyle they did and we shouldn't be judging them just like they shouldn't be judging us."
First impressions aside, Kody Brown's fourth wife Robyn and Edna seemed to bond over motherly responsibilities.
"Edna told me from the very beginning, 'If I'm yelling at your kids it's because I want them to be safe and they're in the street. Everybody around here calls me Grandma,'" Robyn, who is expecting a baby with Kody, says. "I was like, 'Awesome. You tell my kids where they're supposed to be, that's cool. Keep them out of the street.'"
Janelle, Kody's second wife, seems to appreciate meeting new people. "I have many friends from different walks of life and different faiths," she says. "I completely embrace them for the things that make them human, not for their beliefs."
And Kody's take on meeting the neighbors? "I want our neighbors to feel safe with us, too," he says. "We're just looking for tolerance and friendship."
Sister Wives airs Sundays (9 p.m. ET) on TLC.

They do not feel obligated to do their volunteer work through established channels. They see a need, or something that peaks their interest and they are off and running. I call them the vigilante volunteers. The term vigilante refers to a self-appointed doer of justice. The justice for them is doing "right actions." These volunteers see themselves as self-appointed doers of good.
Several news articles in recent weeks have focused attention on a variety of people who responded to the Tsunami disaster in the countries bordering the Indian Ocean. The Wall Street Journal reported on the large numbers of people who responded to the crisis by offering to serve as volunteers at the disaster sites.
International aid agencies say they appreciate such dedication, but they worry that volunteers will create chaos and tax already strained infrastructures. The Red Cross has turned down many volunteers and says it isn't recruiting outside help in Thailand, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. International development agency Oxfam says it is still taking names, but it prefers volunteers to work through local offices back home rather than just showing up at the scene.
The result is that many frustrated visitors are taking matters into their own hands, creating ad-hoc organizations to fill in where other groups aren't active, sometimes under the radar of government authorities. (Barta, 2005)
A local television station featured a small group of lay missionaries from a Columbus, Ohio church, as they boarded a plan to set off for relief work in Thailand. They proudly stated they saw a need and were on their way. They had no idea where they would be staying or what they would be doing, but they were certain they would connect with those most in need.
Newsweek Magazine carried an article about a pediatric nurse who was turned down by the Red Cross when she wanted to volunteer for the Asian tsunami disaster. She contacted the Sri Lankan Consulate directly and was soon the focus of local news stories, leading to American Airlines flying her and eight other doctors and nurses to Sri Lanka for a two week medical-relief trip. As a result of her experience she says:
I would like to start a grass-roots American medical-relief group to duplicate what we were able to do in Sri Lanka on a larger scale. It would include small teams of doctors and nurses from all over the United States that could respond quickly to international disasters. Teams members would rotate every two weeks to enable those with full time jobs to participate. (O'Connor, 2005)
Medical relief volunteer programs currently exist. Médecins Sans Frontières (also known as Doctors Without Borders or MSF) is perhaps the best-known international network with sections in 18 countries. Each year, more than 2,500 volunteer doctors, nurses, other medical professionals, logistics experts, water/sanitation engineers, and administrators provide medical aid in more than 80 countries.
The phenomena we are now seeing is that today's volunteers are going to do what they want to do, regardless of official channels for doing it. They are taking matters into their own hands, creating ad-hoc organizations, or finding personal ways of doing what they want to do. Years ago volunteers would not so readily have worked outside of the system. That is no longer the case. The Tsunami relief efforts provided some interesting examples of this, but they are only the tip of the iceberg. This is happening every day in local communities, as volunteers look at local programs and say, "I'm going to try a new approach." These are the vigilante volunteers. They have been growing slowly and steadily over the last 10-15 years.
Hands On Network affiliates guide the entire service experience, beginning with recruitment, moving through project management, and finally, addressing retention and recognition. This process for transforming an initial interest in helping into a meaningful service experience has proven effective for both adult and youth volunteers.
Hands On Network affiliates offer accommodating scheduling, commitment flexibility and team-based programs, allowing volunteers to serve with colleagues, friends and family, or to make new friends serving with like-minded volunteers.
Hands On Network affiliates also help civic-minded companies organize hands-on community service efforts, allowing many companies to fulfill their commitments to serve local communities, while building workplace morale and camaraderie.
We see volunteering as an entry point for greater civic engagement. By infusing volunteers with education on the issues they affect through service and opportunities to network with other concerned citizens, we build community in every sense, generating social capital crucial for healthy civic life. (Hands on Network, 2005)
Hands On Network has forty U.S. and four International affiliates. Originally designed to meet the needs of young, working professionals, they continue to remain on the cutting edge, promoting entrepreneurial strategies for bridging communities, resources and needs. They saw a need, developed an approach and continue to grow. Volunteer Centers, who once saw this organization as competition, are now looking for opportunities to create partnerships.
Volunteers in Medicine was created in 1993 by Dr. Jack McConnell, following his retirement to Hilton Head, South Carolina. He soon observed the lack of good medical care in the communities surround Hilton Head and founded a free medical clinic, staff with retired doctors and nurses. He worked to pass legislation allowing retired medical personnel to obtain low cost medical malpractice insurance to encourage them to volunteer their time and skills. Dr. McConnell now works a 60 hour unpaid week and has seen his model replicated across the country. (Volunteers in Medicine, 2005)
In 1995 Craig Newmark began Craigslist, an email list to friends about arts and technology events in the San Francisco area. By 2003 it was ranked among the top 200 web sites in the world in terms of activity, with about 2.8 million unique visitors a month. It includes job, housing and volunteer information. In 2001 Craigslist Foundation was developed to help emerging nonprofit organizations. They produce events and online resources to help grassroots organizations get off the ground and contribute real value to our community. (Newmark, 2005)
Lynne Tingle volunteered during her lunch hour at a local animal shelter to walk the dogs and promote adoption. She became increasingly upset when she would walk a healthy, friendly dog one week and find it had been euthanized by the next week because no one had adopted it within the specified time limits. Frustrated by the "rules" Lynne began talking dogs home and arranging adoptions on her own. In 1994 she sold her home, left her business and bought a large piece of land where she started the Milo Foundation, a no-kill animal sanctuary for homeless pets in northern California. (Kushner, 2003)
Stepping out to form new organizations and new solutions to problems has led to the creation of many new non-profit organizations. Someone had an idea and put it into practice. What we are seeing today is, I believe, a major shift in how people approach and think about volunteer work. They are not interested in conforming to rules, procedures, or restrictions. They are seeking instant responses in a society that lives by push button action. They tell you what they want to do, when they want to do it, how they want to do it and if you cannot accommodate, they do it on their own. They are not interested in joining a volunteer program. They are interested in results and they will find ways to make it happen.
Belgium researchers, Hustinx and Lammertyn (2003), identified this as a shift from collective to reflexive volunteering. Fifty years ago volunteering often happened through collective action – membership in clubs or religious organizations. Volunteering today is much more of a reflexive action, based on individual interests, motivations and needs. Robert Putnam (2000) identified similar patterns in his book, Bowling Alone, and tracked generationally based changes in the perception of and attitudes toward volunteering.
Stories about individual responses to the tsunami disaster have thrust this growing trend into the headlines once again. While these individual responses are not necessarily criticisms of existing organizations and the procedures and processes currently in place for screening and engaging volunteers, it should cause all managers of volunteers to stop and think about what is happening and what volunteers are saying when they set off on their own to do "their thing." Volunteering is becoming an increasingly individualized activity where potential volunteers are creating their own experiences rather than seeking the collective experience through a traditional organization. The actions of the vigilante or entrepreneurial volunteers cannot be viewed as exceptions, but should be viewed as a growing tide of response to current practices and organizational structures. There is, I believe a huge, challenge on our horizon. How do we attract and engage these independent, creative, individualistic individuals? Will we allow them to shape and change our structure and organizations? Or will they even be interested in talking with us?
Jason Redman, a high school student in Alaska, created a free urban bicycle program for residents without cars for his civics class project. Students at Highland Community School in Denver, Colorado, raised money to buy two Sudanese slaves and return them to their families. They have since involved dozens of other schools in the project and have freed hundreds of slaves. Lynn Coffman created a program to provide a homemade lunch to homeless residents of Baltimore after visiting a homeless shelter when she was eight years old. Six years later there are 50 volunteers serving 600 lunches each week.
Howe and Strauss (2000) labeled the millennial generation (born after 1982) as the generation of institution builders. As I look at the growing trend to work outside of the boundaries or to find new solutions, I have to wonder if this coming generation will accelerate the trend of reflexive volunteering and create a new set of volunteer based institutions rather than join and support currently established institutions and organizations.

Abstract: The von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein (pVHL) has emerged as a key factor in cellular responses to oxygen availability, being required for the oxygen-dependent proteolysis of alpha subunits of hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF). Mutations in VHL cause a hereditary cancer syndrome associated with dysregulated angiogenesis, and up-regulation of hypoxia inducible genes. Here we investigate the mechanisms underlying these processes and show that extracts from VHL-deficient renal carcinoma cells have a defect in HIF-alpha ubiquitylation activity which is complemented by exogenous pVHL. This defect was specific for HIF-alpha among a range of substrates tested. Furthermore, HIF-alpha subunits were the only pVHL-associated proteasomal substrates identified by comparison of metabolically labeled anti-pVHL immunoprecipitates from proteosomally inhibited cells and normal cells. Analysis of pVHL/HIF-alpha interactions defined short sequences of conserved residues within the internal transactivation domains of HIF-alpha molecules sufficient for recognition by pVHL. In contrast, while full-length pVHL and the p19 variant interact with HIF-alpha, the association was abrogated by further N-terminal and C-terminal truncations. The interaction was also disrupted by tumor-associated mutations in the beta-domain of pVHL and loss of interaction was associated with defective HIF-alpha ubiquitylation and regulation, defining a mechanism by which these mutations generate a constitutively hypoxic pattern of gene expression promoting angiogenesis. The findings indicate that pVHL regulates HIF-alpha proteolysis by acting as the recognition component of a ubiquitin ligase complex, and support a model in which its beta domain interacts with short recognition sequences in HIF-alpha subunits.

During tonight's meeting, the Grass Valley City Council will be revisiting the proposed annexation of 120 acres of land just south of city limits.
The land in question includes several prominent industrial businesses that are currently outside of city limits, as well as most of the former Bear River Mills site.
The annexation was approved earlier this month, but a second reading of the prezoning ordinance is still required by law.
Prezoning allows stakeholders to see exactly what the city has planned for future developments in and around the annexed acreage.
Tonight's second reading of the prezoning ordinance is on the consent calendar, and may not be addressed at length unless pulled for discussion by a member of the council.
Other items of interest on tonight's agenda include the possible hiring of a full-time finance director.
Starting salary for the position is $115,000, but City Manager Bob Richardson has advised a pay-for-performance agreement allowing that pay rate to be adjusted at his discretion, based on the new hire's ability to meet stated goals.
The city will also be reviewing this year's results in the 16th annual Citizen Attitude Survey, which gives local residents and business owners the opportunity to rate the level of service provided by the Grass Valley Police Department.
The council meets at 7 p.m. today; the complete agenda is available on the city's website.

Antiwar Song, With Whimsy
''Now how many people must get killed?'' begins the latest antiwar refrain from the pop world. ''For oil families' pockets to get filled?'' The song is ''In a World Gone Mad,'' which was released yesterday with no advance fanfare by the Beastie Boys. Though not commercially available as a single, the song is available free at the Beastie Boys Web site (www.beastieboys.com) and is being distributed to disc jockeys, who were unaware of it until they began receiving copies yesterday. ''We were working on our record, and we realized that by the time we finished a record that it might be a bit late to get out some of the things we wanted to comment on,'' said Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys, speaking by telephone yesterday. ''So we figured we'd finish the song and post it.''

• The simultaneous existence of manic and depressive symptoms in a manic-depressive patient was first described by Kraepelin.1 This so-called mixed state has come to have much theoretical significance in recent hypotheses about the nature of bipolar affective disorders.
In this investigation a mixed state is shown to be the initial episode in 31% of 84 manic-depressive outpatients. Moreover, the presence of "mixed" features does not correlate with severity of illness or mood circularity, but does correlate with sedative abuse and poor response to psychopharmacologic treatment. These results suggest that the "continuum hypothesis" and its satellite theories represent viable conceptualizations of the nature of manic-depressive illness.

Ever since the post about the filing on Apr 21, my systems have been under
attack. It is coming from over 3000 ip addresses and has made it almost
impossible for people to download files from my ftp site. My site
averages 700MB-1GB daily. Since this mess started the downloads are now
about 20 MB. I limit the number of connections from an IP address. I am
seeing over 400 connection attempts per IP per 10 minutes. That combined
with various other attacks.
It is really annoying. The attacks on http are coming from various linux
browser/machines. Why are some linux zealots so... Some of us try to
provide support for all Linux/UNIX OS's. To attack us because we
support/assist others with SCO is really bad.
Why can't these imature people allow us to co-exist? I have had a few
emails asking me to lift the IP address ban because they need files from
my machines. Sadly, I may have to prevent ftp access from any dynamic IP
address because of these zealots.
It would be a lot easier to block and then allow IP addresses if SCO had
iptables for the OpenServer OS's. I use LKP for UnixWare 7.1.4. Sadly, I
maybe forced to stop access to my machines for the few people that still
keep their Open Source Packages on SCO OS's up to date, because, they can
not connect from the same IP addresses and these attacks are effecting
them as well. I guess the Linux Zealots are winning because they are
achiving what they want. Stopping people from accessing anything SCO. It
has been extremely difficult to work over the internet because all my
bandwidth is being exhausted by these attacks.
I understand why people post but that one post has caused me a ton of
greef. It some of the bad apples from the Linux Community would realize
they are doing more harm than good. What they are doing is showing how a
small minority really need to grow up and get a life.
I know this probably will not stop, the attacks but I really needed to
vent. I have support Linux since it's very first internet/usenet release.
So what these idiots are doing is showing the people that get things from
my sites for linux as well are being hindered. When I explain to the
people emailing me that it is coming from their own communitity, they are
really assamed. I am too. I really dislike any group that does not have
tolerence for others and their choices.
Thanks for listening,

The term "Booga" is used in "booga language" by highly intelligent, professional individuals. Booga language is primarily written and hardly spoken because of its complex structure. Take the first letter of a word and place it at the end. Then add "booga" as the finishing touch. It was founded by Dr. JoMer of the National Institute of Boogacity (pronounced boog-ocity). Use with caution. Others with inferior intellectual capacity will not understand this language and will become engraged with jealousy.
