If public works managers did not have enough to do, "homeland security" has been added to their responsibilities. However, there is a positive side to this burden: It places a badly-needed spotlight on the importance of public works, much of which is classified as "critical infrastructure."
This new responsibility emerged gradually. In 1852, when the American Society of Civil Engineers was founded, "public works" was not extensive. Soon, cities became more complex, and public works and city management emerged as professions. By the 1920s associations for operators were forming, and APWA was formed in the 1930s. During World War II, national security focused on building tanks and planes, and eventually developing the atomic bomb, but local infrastructure was not considered a security issue, and public works' roles were focused on developing and managing infrastructure to work effectively. Now, this task has broadened to embrace the wider concern of security, along with effective capital management and operations.
What has changed?
Public works managers can gain a perspective on the changes by considering how "civil defense" developed over the last fifty years. It emerged as part of the larger issue of "national security," which developed as an issue during the Cold War. During the 1950s, national security was defined by Colonel George Lincoln of West Point as "the protection of our land, our people, and our way of life from aggression or the threat of aggression."(1) He showed how the United States' preparations to mobilize during World War I illustrated the importance of transportation and supply systems and how World War II taught lessons about preparing for national security through economic efforts guided by government action.
Due to military advances after World War II, the cushions of time and distance that had protected the United States from its enemies diminished, and during the 1950s, for the first time, intercontinental ballistic missiles and long-range bombers threatened the homeland. A generation of schoolchildren remembers 1950s air raid drills and preparation for nuclear attacks. Under the Federal Civil Defense Act of 1950, the Defense Civil Preparedness Agency was born.
In 1979 FEMA was created, merging responsibility for the full range of emergencies and disasters (natural, technological, and man-made, as well as those resulting from conventional war or nuclear attack) under its umbrella. In its first years, emergency management at the national level was focused more on national security than on natural, technological, or man-made emergencies or disasters because there were few of these problems in that period.
After about 1989, the world changed as a result of changing geopolitics and increasing impacts of large-scale natural disasters. Events such as Hurricanes Hugo and Andrew, the Loma Prieta and Northridge earthquakes, and record Midwest flooding shifted the emphasis from civil defense and attack preparedness toward preparedness for and response to natural disasters.
However, terrorism became a larger factor in calculations about national security. In the 1960s the United States had learned about guerrilla warfare in the Vietnam conflict, and by the 1970s radical terrorism had emerged, driven by value-driven causes. By the 1990s national concern about terrorism had increased. In 1996, a Presidential Commission on Critical Infrastructure was formed. Then, the nation's cyber infrastructure became a target, as we learned during the ramp-up to Y2K, which featured intense interest in how well physical infrastructure systems would work on January 1, 2000. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the focus on internal security increased greatly. Now, FEMA must embrace a much wider spectrum of threats than in the past. In 2003, it was merged into the new Department of Homeland Security.
How should public works respond?
Considering the many types of public infrastructure systems and services to protect, and the many sources of threats, you can see the immense challenges facing public works managers today. These new threats to infrastructure, along with its increasing complexity and interdependency, add to the load on public works management systems.
There is no single best response to these many challenges because the problem involves so many parts of physical systems and organizations. Perhaps the biggest challenge faced in preparing for disasters is overcoming organizational constraints. The emergency plan is the starting point for disaster preparedness, but public works organizations must do much more to prepare against threats. There are roles for all sections of organizations. Public works leaders must ensure that the utility strategic plan includes goals and strategies to survive disasters and take care that overall management planning, organizing, and control ensures that the organization is prepared against threats. Operators must prepare plans and respond during emergencies by mobilizing forces and allocating resources as needed to minimize adverse effects. Planners must plan for system hardening and mitigation. Training is an important requirement, because the organization must be trained from the bottom up.
Past emergencies provide valuable lessons for public works preparation.(2) The organization needs a "champion" at the top to improve commitment. Managers must realize the needs and plan in advance, employees must work together and prepare, and the community must be involved. It may be necessary to jar people out of complacency to "convert non-believers." Ordinary flow charts do not help much with unstructured decision scenarios in emergencies, and the organization should try to keep emergency operations as close as possible to normal operations. All parts of organizations must participate and must cooperate with each other and with other organizations.
One of the areas of need is designing more robust systems from the beginning, so that total reliance is not placed on security overlays, mitigation, and emergency response systems. However, design engineers are not well-prepared to add security as another design goal, to go along with functionality and economics. Design guides, resources, and codes and standards must be upgraded, and the system for teaching design to engineers must be improved.
The answer to the question "how should public works respond" is "across the board." In the final analysis, public works is the profession that integrates design, construction, operations and other aspects of management to build and maintain public infrastructure and services. It is logical that it should have a lead role in the new responsibilities of making critical infrastructure systems more secure.
The next questions for APWA and its leaders deal with specific measures to take. Public works will have to be involved from the ground up. A national-local agenda must be created to identify the challenges and respond to them. The starting point will be a lively dialog about how to protect systems, while at the same time making them work better and last longer. Adapting the public works workforce to the challenge will require recognition and training all through organizations.
Now that homeland security involves critical infrastructure systems, with the responsibility to guard against all types of threats, public works must move closer to the world of security officers and emergency personnel, while remaining close to its engineering and management roots. It is a formidable challenge, but one to which APWA should respond effectively.

'30 to Life' filmmaker directing students into field
Marcus Atkinson considers "A Few Good Men" his favorite film.
The Strong Vincent High School graduate is trying to be one himself when it comes to helping Erie's youth.
Atkinson's regular job is as a behavior specialist for Preferred Systems, with his primary assignment at Edison Elementary School.
However, Atkinson developed side work writing film and theater scripts while living in Georgia during and after college. That led to his current interest in filmmaking, which is why he's recognized more these days as the director and editor of "30 to Life."
Atkinson's 17-minute short film, which was made in Erie and first shown in January, depicts the consequences gun violence can have on minors. As the multimedia program director at the Downtown YMCA, he's attempting to show young people that they can tell their personal stories in such a way, and perhaps cultivate filmmaking as a career interest.
1What kind of reaction have you received since "30 to Life" was released in January?
It's gone over very well. I've been invited to a lot of different schools, and Mercyhurst University as well. I've been invited to enough places so far that I feel good about it. The pleasant thing, if I can say that, is during the screening when the kids see that (the main character) won't be eligible for parole until 2042 -- that just sucks life out of the room for them. That's when it dawns on them, that they're thinking of the consequences. I've had families of people I know who have been affected (by such crimes) personally stop me on (the) street and say, "You need to do more projects like this."
2How did the Downtown YMCA multimedia program come about?
I was the YMCA Kids Club theater director for several years before coming to the Downtown Y. When I was teaching theater to our kids at the Kids Club, we had a lot of teenagers that started to get involved. Over the years, the teenagers became less interested in the plays and more interested in running the cameras and being on camera. I was looking for something to keep them engaged. When we introduced the film and video to our productions, the older kids especially lit up at the thought of that. The Downtown Y had an existing teen center that was headed up at the time by a friend of mine. I talked to him (and) said, "What do you think about launching a multimedia program out of (the) teen center there?" He took it to the executive director of the downtown branch and the rest, as they say, is history.
3What got you interested in arts like theater and film?
I started tinkering around with video because when you write, you want to see some of your vision come out on the screen. You get that motivation, so I started flirting with the concept of small movies. Eventually, I started to figure out that it was something I enjoyed doing and I started teaching it behind the scenes while I was doing theater.
4What has it meant for you to help local youth channel the use of media in positive ways, rather than the likes of cyberbullying, through the Y's program?
It means everything because ... these are tools that are giving this new generation a voice. We have so many negative barbs thrown at this generation, and, don't get me wrong, I can see why some adults seem to think they're a little lost. I think this generation struggles with finding their voice and expressing themselves, but I also think they're very talented (with technical devices) and don't know it, even though it's part of their everyday lives. They're not going to go to these town hall meetings about violence or poverty. They're not going to sit through an hourlong meeting about those topics. But they still want to say what they want to say, and we want to give them a viable voice like this.
5What's your next significant project?
We're in collaboration right now with a Westinghouse YMCA teen center in Pittsburgh. They have a project called the Lighthouse Project, which just won a YMCA teen leadership conference in Prague. They performed a song they wrote for the Y called "All In." We're working on a brand new film project and it's going to be based on prom night. We wanted to stick with the whole idea of social things that affect teenagers and that's the one night of the year where everybody is really trying to send a strong message. They (Westinghouse) will provide the soundtrack and score and we'll shoot the film here. We're going to have an open casting call in the Erie School District starting in January. We've never done that before, but now seems like a good time to do it.

Georgetown University Research Finds "Best in Diversity" Rankings May Be Meaningless
"Best in Diversity" Rankings May Be Meaningless, Georgetown University Research Finds
Companies that rank high in a growing number of "best in diversity" lists may be ranking more on style than substance, cautions Dr. Christopher Metzler, Senior Associate Dean of the Master of Professional Studies in Human Resources Management program at Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies.
Dr. Metzler's conclusion is drawn from a recent study, "Diversity Rankings: A Critique of the Landscape," conducted by the university's Consortium of Chief Diversity Officers. The consortium's findings raise questions about the science behind published diversity ranking methodologies used by many top diversity magazines and others to rank diversity-management best practices.
"Many organizations proudly extol their rankings in their marketing and recruiting strategies," writes Dr. Metzler in a newly published Diversity Executive magazine article ("Are You Really No. 1?") on the consortium's findings. "The challenge for organizations is to examine the dichotomous relationship between recognition for diversity and the lack of significant empirical support for those same rankings by external organizations."
The Georgetown University consortium – comprised of chief diversity officers from partner companies such as Nike, Marriott, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Abercrombie & Fitch, Johnson and Johnson and Xerox – analyzed the publically stated ranking methodologies used by DiversityInc, Diversity MBA Magazine, Black Enterprise magazine, Working Mother magazine, the Human Rights Campaign and Hispanic Business magazine. Further, researchers conducted interviews with more than 300 global diversity practitioners and business leaders about the rankings.
Study Reveals Fear of Retribution among Employers
"The study results revealed that diversity rankings are more often an exercise in reputation building than they are an illustration of diversity as a tool for organizational transformation," writes Dr. Metzler, a world-renowned expert on diversity and inclusion, in the July/August edition (page 42) of Diversity Executive. For example, some companies use the rankings to boost recruiting efforts and to bolster claims of legal compliance.
This creates the potential for employers to attempt to sway the rankings by spending more on advertising and other services offered by the rankers, a claim backed up by the study. Of the diversity professionals polled, 95 percent reported they found a correlation between the amount of money spent with some rankers and ranking score.
"However, these professionals are not ready to state this in any public forum for fear of backlash," Dr. Metzler writes.
More Transparency Needed
The Georgetown University report makes several suggestions for improvements, including the separation of editorial and advertising, for example, from the ranking functions, and transparency audits conducted by outside entities to assess the efficacy of ranking methodologies.
"There is no universally accepted definition of either diversity or inclusion," Metzler writes." There is also no universally accepted methodological approach for ranking diversity. Thus, rankers are subject to valid criticism based on the indicators they chose to employ and the weighting formula they apply."

Former Penn State president filing libel lawsuit
Published 8:18 PM EDT Jul 11, 2013
Penn State's former president Graham Spanier, is suing former FBI Director Louis Freeh for slander and libel.
Spanier's lawyer filed paperwork Thursday in Centre County that describes the case as "slander/libel/defamation." It disclosed little about the nature of his claims.
Freeh headed the team that produced the university-funded report which blamed Spanier and other school officials for failing to protect children from convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky.

http://today.ucsf.edu/stories/caring-for-pediatric-cancer-survivors-throughout-life/ Thanks to great strides in pediatric oncology research, the rate of survivorship for children with cancer is rising. Fifty years ago, children with cancer rarely survived. Today, with various combinations of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, nearly 70 percent of children diagnosed with cancer are now living long term (at least five years from diagnosis).<br><br>An estimated one in 570 young adults between the ages of 20 and 34 is a survivor of childhood cancer. There are roughly 250,000 long-term survivors living in the United States today, with more than 30,000 in California. Although new therapies are enabling survivors to live longer, some therapies, such as radiation and chemotherapy, can cause severe side effects and increase the risk for later diseases unrelated to the initial cancer. So there is a strong need for long-term follow-up care.<br><br>To address the needs of this growing population, UCSF Survivors of Childhood Cancer Program opened in March 2005. The program, which has clinical, research and educational components, is directed by pediatric oncologist <a href="people/goldsby_robert.php">Robert Goldsby, MD</a>.<br><br>"The successes in pediatric oncology are truly one of the triumphs of modern medicine," says Goldsby. "We are seeing more and more patients, so researchers and clinicians must keep abreast of potential long-term problems and develop programs to meet their needs."<br><br><b>Long-Term Effects</b><br>Researchers are studying the long-term effects of childhood cancer and its therapy. While life-threatening, late consequences of treatment are not the norm, researchers are finding that survivors face three times the average risk for a chronic health condition, and eight times the average risk for a severe or life-threatening disease.<br><br>Examples of potential concerns are secondary cancers, fertility problems, psychological and emotional problems, learning difficulties, therapy-related organ dysfunction, and problems getting access to health care and insurance. Many survivors and their parents are not aware of these possibilities, says Goldsby.<br><br>The goal of the clinical service is first to meet with patients and their families two years after cancer therapy has ended, and then to see patients every five years thereafter. Members of the Survivors Clinic include program coordinator and nurse practitioner Katie Maniatis, social worker Maria Bracamonte and clinical research associate Danny Hill. As part of this visit, a letter including the details of diagnosis and treatment is generated for the primary care physician. 25 2 Custom Import cust ucsf/news_import.pl 2 http://cancer.ucsf.edu/news/2007/12/21/caring-for-pediatric-cancer-survivors-throughout-life.754 /ics/2007/12/21/caring-for-pediatric-cancer-survivors-throughout-life.754/caring-for-pediatric-cancer-survivors-throughout-life.754.ics 754 left 1 1 1478 12/21/2007 2007-12-21 07:46:00 7:46 am PST left 16266 ucsf/news_import.pl 1 1 1 Thanks to great strides in pediatric oncology research, the rate of survivorship for children with cancer is rising.

It's pharmacogenetics -- using information on genetic differences to tailor treatment.<br><br>Deanna Kroetz, PhD, of UCSF's School of Pharmacy is exploring pharmacogenetics in the most common and deadly form of adult leukemia. The cancer is called acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). It stems from immature white blood cells in the bone marrow. AML afflicts 11,000 mostly elderly adults each year.<br><br>In cancer, drug effectiveness sometimes depends on normal variations among certain genes we inherit. Scientists call these variations polymorphisms. Likewise, differences among the genetic mutations and other abnormalities that arise within individual cancers also can affect drug responses.<br><br><b>Pharmacogenetics in the Most Deadly Leukemia</b><br>Time is of the essence in treating cancers. When oncologists diagnose AML, they often start the patient on chemotherapy the same day. Time lost to trial and error with chemotherapy that is ineffective or that causes unbearable side effects can increase the likelihood that an evasive cancer will eventually grow uncontrollably.<br><br>Remarkably, roughly eight out of 10 patients under age 60 who develop AML enter complete remission after an initial course of chemotherapy. This means that treatment leaves no sign of leukemia cells in the blood, and that the bone marrow again makes blood and immune cells in normal amounts.<br><br>But just as remarkably, in about half of these patients who initially fare so well, cancer returns, usually within a year. Older patients fare even worse. A new population of leukemia cells grows back from ancestors that survived earlier treatment while remaining undetected. When the leukemia returns, it is resistant to the first-used drug, so oncologists must choose an alternative. 25 2 Custom Import cust ucsf/news_import.pl 2 http://cancer.ucsf.edu/news/2007/12/07/leukemia-survival-and-pharmacogenetics.755 /ics/2007/12/07/leukemia-survival-and-pharmacogenetics.755/leukemia-survival-and-pharmacogenetics.755.ics 755 left 1 1 1479 12/7/2007 2007-12-07 07:44:00 7:44 am PST left 16265 ucsf/news_import.pl 1 1 1 There's a new way to personalize drug therapy.

The new machine expands UCSF's ability to provide state-of-the-art, specialized care to patients.<br><br>Called the Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion, the machine is the latest generation in gamma knife radiosurgery, a noninvasive technology that delivers a finely focused, high dose of radiation to a specific area of the brain. Its precision allows radiation to reach a particular target without damaging surrounding brain tissue, making it ideal for treating brain tumors. It is also effective for treating epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, trigeminal neuralgia (a nerve condition causing chronic pain) and abnormal blood vessel formations located deep in the brain. Abnormalities measuring less than one inch in diameter -- the size of a tiny pebble -- can be treated with gamma knife radiosurgery.<br><br>"This machine allows us to distribute a highly effective dose of radiation to diseased tissue more quickly and accurately than ever before," says <a href="people/berger_mitchel.php">Mitchel Berger, MD</a>, professor and chairman of the UCSF Department of Neurological Surgery and director of the UCSF Brain Tumor Research Center. "Patients can be treated on an outpatient basis, in only a couple of hours, with little or no complications or side effects. This is a great benefit for patients who have already endured so much due to their diagnosis."<br><br>The new machine has greater flexibility and reach than the previous model, assisting UCSF neurosurgeons in treating more areas of the head and now the neck. Doses of radiation can be delivered to multiple target areas in one session, avoiding the need to move the patient or adjust the machine. This further reduces the amount of time a patient has to undergo treatment and reduces discomfort. Radiation exposure to other parts of the body is extremely low, making it an excellent treatment option for children and women of child-bearing age.<br> 25 2 Custom Import cust ucsf/news_import.pl 2 http://cancer.ucsf.edu/news/2007/12/03/ucsf-medical-center-using-newest-high-tech-tool-for-brain-disorders.756 /ics/2007/12/03/ucsf-medical-center-using-newest-high-tech-tool-for-brain-disorders.756/ucsf-medical-center-using-newest-high-tech-tool-for-brain-disorders.756.ics 756 left 1 1 1480 12/3/2007 2007-12-03 07:42:00 7:42 am PST left 16264 ucsf/news_import.pl 1 1 1 The most advanced noninvasive, radiosurgery tool for treating a variety of brain disorders -- including tumors -- is now being used by specialists at UCSF Medical Center.

He then was involved in combat for 264 days in France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. Kerner received the rarely given Combat Medic Award after riding the outside of a tank blasting its way through the siege at Bastogne. He also was awarded two Bronze Stars, five Battle Stars, and a Presidential Unit Citation.<br><br>Kerner chronicled his experiences in his book Combat Medic: World War II, in which he elaborated on descriptions from his letters sent home.<br><br>During more than 40 years in private practice, Kerner delivered more than 2,000 babies and developed a loyal following of patients. Together with Kerner's colleagues and family members, his patients helped to establish the John A. Kerner Endowed Chair, a position that focuses on cancer research and patient care pertaining to women. During his residency studies at UCSF, which he completed in 1949, Kerner worked with Herbert F. Traut, MD, then the chair of the obstetrics and gynecology department. Traut helped to develop the Pap smear, a test widely used to detect cancer of the cervix. Along with Traut, Kerner was instrumental in disseminating the Pap smear throughout the community, which drastically reduced the instances of cervical cancer among women. 25 2 Custom Import cust ucsf/news_import.pl 2 http://cancer.ucsf.edu/news/2007/11/14/kerner-receives-frances-legion-dhonneur-from-president-nicolas-sarkozy.761 /ics/2007/11/14/kerner-receives-frances-legion-dhonneur-from-president-nicolas-sarkozy.761/kerner-receives-frances-legion-dhonneur-from-president-nicolas-sarkozy.761.ics 761 left 1 1 1485 11/14/2007 2007-11-14 07:35:00 7:35 am PST left 16259 ucsf/news_import.pl 1 1 1 John Kerner, MD, a World War II veteran from California who participated in the Liberation of France, was awarded France's Legion d'Honneur by President Nicolas Sarkozy during a special ceremony in Washington, DC on Nov. 6.

State Sen. Daylin Leach says Marjorie Margolies is continuing to violate federal campaign finance laws, and has lodged a new complaint as the Democrats vying for the 13th Congressional District seat enter the last full week before the May 20 primary.
Leach said Monday he intends to file a supplementary letter with the Federal Election Commission alleging that Margolies has again spent contributions designated for the general election on her primary campaign.
Four Democrats are battling for the nomination in the 13th, which includes parts of Philadelphia and Montgomery County. Margolies, who held the seat in the 1990s, has been described as a front-runner in the race. The other candidates are State Rep. Brendan Boyle and Valerie Arkoosh, an anesthesiologist.

Duquesne University Law Review, Forthcoming
Saint Louis U. Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2014-13
Participants in the Duquesne University Law Review were asked to write about the future of contract law, specifically contract law in 2025. My contribution is a short science fiction story that is set in 2025. Sometimes, conflicting terms in a contract can give you a headache...or a brilliant idea? Expect both the utopian and dystopian from this story, along with contract law theory.
