EXE738 - Policy Studies in Global and Local Contexts
Unit details
|Enrolment modes:
|Credit point(s):
|EFTSL value:
|Unit chair:

|Contact hours:
|3-4 hours per week for on campus students
ContentIncreasingly governments use policy to steer education and training towards national interests. At the same time, however, globalisation pressures governments to respond in ways determined beyond national interests. This leads to significant local/global tensions. This unit addresses both the wider issues of cultural difference in the context of globalisation and the internationalisation of education as well as policy issues arising from and relevant to local practices, interests and values.
The focus is on theoretical and critical perspectives towards policy, in particular the new policy sociology, and requires students to reflect on practice, theory, and current public sector and educational policy environments. Students have a range of options - to consider issues of doing policy work in their own workplaces, to develop policies that focus on a relevant public sector educational or training issue with some practical outcomes in mind, to consider policy scenarios. Or students can undertake a cross cultural analysis of policies. All assignments require considerations of the equity implications of policy work.
The assessment comprises of two assignments, both essays (50% and 3000 words each), with possible negotiation on the nature of the second assignment to meet specific circumstances.
These assignments should indicate that the student understands the derivations and theoretical concepts of the new policy sociology, and that the student can undertake a critical analysis of policy. The second assignment focuses more on applying these understandings in a particular context, and the issues arising in the process of policy production. This requires some clear notions of the process of policy implementation.

GIRI (Grinding, Imaging and Reconstruction Instrument), the centerpiece of the newly constructed Princeton Grinder Lab, is a fully automated rock grinder equipped with a high-resolution camera. GIRI's photos are used to create 3-D models that let scientists examine the inner features of rocks, which can include tiny fossils of ancient life forms. Above is a rock sample containing 650 million-year-old fossilized sponges as they appear to the naked eye (top) and when photographed by GIRI.

The daily grind: Princeton lab uncovers the planetary past hidden in rocks

Possibly more intriguing than Adam Maloof inadvertently uncovering the oldest known animal fossils was what he had to do to examine them.
The remains of what would turn out to be circa 650 million-year-old sponge-like animals appeared as little more than red streaks embedded in a chunk of limestone Maloof collected in Australia while originally searching for evidence of "snowball Earth," the hypothesized deep-freeze the entire planet succumbed to about 650 million years ago.
To study these crimson oddities, Maloof, a Princeton University associate professor of geosciences, and former graduate student Catherine Rose ground away by hand 50 microns — roughly half the width of a human hair — of rock a layer at a time, taking a photo of each new layer. The plan was to digitally stack each photo to produce a 3-D model that would allow a full view of the fossils' structure, and a more certain identification.
The work dragged. After the equivalent of toiling all day, every day for two weeks, the researchers had sheared off only a disheartening 2 centimeters of limestone. The photo quality fluctuated between light and dark, and the shots did not line up properly. Maloof and his group tried drilling lead holes into the rock so that images could be registered to a fixed position, but "drilling straight holes at 50-micron tolerances is very difficult," Maloof said.
But it all paid off: In 2010, Maloof and Rose were first and second author, respectively, of a paper in the journal Nature Geosciences reporting that the sponge-like organisms were roughly 70 million years older than any animal fossil yet discovered.
It also was the springboard for Maloof to establish the newly constructed Princeton Grinder Lab located in a specially designed building that opened behind Guyot Hall in February, and is funded by the National Science Foundation and the University. The lab's centerpiece is the solution to every hardship Maloof faced working that one piece of limestone — an automated, high-precision industrial grinder equipped with a high-resolution camera. The machine can grind and image a rock sample in as little as one hour, or as long as a few days, depending on the desired resolution. And the sample never leaves the machine, allowing for consistently angled and lit photos.
Adam Maloof (above), a Princeton associate professor of geosciences, co-developed GIRI with Brooklyn-based Situ Studio after one of Maloof's graduate students spent the equivalent of 14 days straight in 2010 grinding and photographing a rock sample by hand to shear off only a disheartening 2 centimeters. That sample contained 650 million-year-old sponge-like organisms that turned out to be the oldest animal fossils yet discovered. GIRI can grind and image a rock sample in as little as one hour, or as long as a few days, depending on the desired resolution. (Courtesy of the Princeton Grinder Lab and Christine Chen)
This is GIRI. Unique for its automation and precision, the Grinding, Imaging and Reconstruction Instrument was designed in collaboration with Brooklyn-based Situ Studio, which helped generate the 3-D models for the 2010 Nature Geoscience paper.
The machine is an 8,000-pound goliath with a gentle touch. Intended for machining metal, GIRI is equipped with a diamond-coated grinding wheel that clocks 3,000 rpms yet can nimbly remove layers of rock as small as 1 micron. Its agility is why GIRI sits atop an isolated concrete pad in a room built with sand-insulated blocks — at these scales the slightest vibration or temperature change can displace the grinder stone by hundreds of microns.
Like a car wash, GIRI rinses the sample free of dust as it's ground, gives it a once-over with a squeegee developed with lab scientist Alex Spatzier, then positions the sample beneath an auto-retracting camera housing. An 80-megapixel camera with a 4x5.4 cm sensor (the average consumer camera is 12-16 megapixels on a 3.6x2.4 cm sensor) takes a shot. Then the sample goes through the whole cycle again.
The images are wired to computers in an adjacent control room separated from GIRI by a window and an airlock. Anyone familiar with Claymation and stop-motion animation may be able to grasp how GIRI generates a 3-D fossil model. As each layer is ground away, different features within the rock are revealed. When the photos are viewed consecutively, features in the rock gyrate, shrink, expand, disappear and emerge in a rush of activity one rarely equates with rocks. When formed into one digital block, the photos provide a 360-degree view of the rock's internal characteristics, and those details can be extracted and further analyzed.
GIRI is an extremely high-tech variation of an old method known as serial sectioning, which, in its simplest form, entails removing a layer of rock and hand-drawing the details.

At these scales, the slightest vibration or temperature change can displace the grinder stone by hundreds of microns, so GIRI sits atop an isolated concrete pad in a room built with sand-insulated blocks. (Courtesy of the Princeton Grinder Lab and Situ Studio)
In the classroom, GIRI can enhance students' field and research experience, Maloof said. Many of the courses he teaches include fieldwork, such as "Sedimentology," which includes trips to the New Jersey Pine Barrens, the Bahamas, Kentucky and the Catskills. A geophysical survey in Cyprus accompanies the course "Earth's Environments and Ancient Civilizations" that Maloof teaches with Associate Professor of Geosciences Frederik Simons.
"Students usually collect samples and analyze them under the microscope or on the mass spectrometer," Maloof said, "but now they will be able to image 3-D structures within those rock samples — everything from air bubbles in basalt and fossils in limestone, to the delicate compositions of ceramics that indicate when and where the vessel likely was made."
GIRI is an extremely high-tech variation of an old method known as serial sectioning, Maloof said. In its most basic form, serial sectioning entails removing a layer of rock and hand-drawing the details. "People continue and have continued to do this — we're just the first to automate it," Maloof said. "People can produce high-quality images and more accurate 3-D models in a much shorter timeframe using GIRI. There's nothing like this in the world."
The traditional tedium of serial sectioning has put the method at a disadvantage when compared with modern imaging technology such as X-ray scanning and computerized tomography, or CT. While quicker and still effective, and a boon to the health sciences, those methods have difficulty in the crossover from flesh to rock, Maloof and Spatzier explained. GIRI was intended to combine the speed of imaging technology with the sharp frame-by-frame detail inherent in serial sectioning.
A good X-ray can capture 1-micron details, but only near a rock's surface — the radiation peters out the deeper it goes into the rock and the image becomes obscured, Spatzier said. Non-invasive imaging technology also relies on the various densities within the object being scanned, Maloof said. In a human, blood, bone and flesh have different densities that make for clear images. In a rock, such as the one studied for the 2010 paper, the fossils often have the same density as the limestone matrix surrounding it, Maloof said.
"If we had scanned that it would have looked like a big blob," Maloof said. "Many of the fossils in the world are shell and limestone with no density contrast. With GIRI, we can see micron-scale features in color and texture consistently over tens of centimeters of rock. With every image we can see the objects in every slice, and check the model reconstructions with the naked eye. The only disadvantage is that GIRI grinds the sample to dust."
But important discoveries can be hidden away in those samples, and serial sectioning GIRI-style might be the best way to access them, Maloof said.
"We kept seeing these weird red shapes, and couldn't determine what they were," he said about his storied limestone sample. "Some looked like fossils, some didn't. We just ignored them for years because we had no way to analyze them."
Stromatolites as old as this 635 million-year-old sample photographed by GIRI typically built up as sediment was trapped and bound by layers of bacteria. Frequently, stromatolites were formed by cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, photosynthesizing in shallow water under a thin film of mud that protected them from ultraviolet radiation. The 3-D morphology of these rocks records important information about the environment they formed in, such as current and wave energy, and water chemistry. Many scientists think that older stromatolites are the most ancient evidence of life on Earth. (Courtesy of the Princeton Grinder Lab)
Those sponge fossils fell instantly into a debate about when Earth first hosted animals. Some scientists had indirect molecular-clock and geochemical evidence that suggested animals predated snowball Earth. Others believed that the lack of body-fossil evidence made it more likely that animals evolved after the most recent snowball Earth episode. Maloof and his co-authors showed that sponges had set up in bacterial reefs before the glaciation, and essentially extended the known presence of animals on Earth by millions of years.
"Prior to our work, only two groups proposed that sponges should exist at this time," Maloof said. "Two groups of independent scientists said that these animals should exist despite no record. Fossil experts were saying that's unlikely. Since our paper, two other papers have found 'textures' left by sponge-like creatures in even older rocks, and other groups are starting to describe possible body fossils."
With GIRI operational — after months of programming and tinkering with cycle timing, Spatzier said — the Grinder Lab has begun accepting samples to be analyzed, and researchers from other institutions are already slated to use GIRI themselves. Maloof hopes that the lab, buttressed by GIRI's capabilities, can become a destination facility for other scientists.
"My long-term plan is to let researchers from other institutions come here for a week and run their own samples," Maloof said. "Ideally, GIRI will host a bustling lab filled with scientists eager to turn enigmatic two-dimensional shapes seen on the surfaces of rocks into quantitative three-dimensional models of objects that will inspire their research."
This 650 million-year-old oolite photographed by GIRI contains ooids nearly 1 centimeter in diameter, and are indicative of the "giant oolite problem." Ooids form when the nuclei of calcium carbonate on the sea floor produce new layers as they are continuously agitated by waves. In the modern ocean, ooids form spheres only 1-2 millimeters in size. While this sample contains millimeter-scale ooids, the giant ooids are so large that scientists wonder if the ancient ocean had to be more viscous and energetic in order to frequently move these large grains around and allow for the formation of nearly concentric, spherical layers. Understanding the 3-D structure of these giant ooids and comparing them to the smaller ooids that must have formed at the same time will help solve this paradox.

I'm going back up to the hospital. I'll be up there in about an hours. We will post the Abby Daily Update this evening.
The miracle of all this technology is how fast people all over the world can respond and communicate. I would LOVE to show up tonight with a truck load of greetings and messages to brighten up Abby's day.
In the next couple of hours, if you can, would you send Abby a message that we will personally play/read to her. If you have children who are praying for Abby, it would be even more special if you would include them.
A comment on the blog is wonderful, but if you can here's what will be even more fun.. Gather up the kids, a group, or just you and:
- THE BEST: Use a webcam or camera phone send her a video message... SEEING YOU, especially other children, talking to her, and waving to her is especially encouraging for her (email it to me, post it YouTube and send me a link; send it to my phone, use the Facebook video features; whatever works for you)
- Call my phone and leave her a voice mail. I won't pick up for the next couple of hours. My phone will fill up fast, so if you want to do that, don't wait. 918-902-7691
- Send her a voice recording from your phone or computer microphone... email to me, firstname.lastname@example.com
- Or, if none of those are convenient, leave a comment and we'll read it to her. Of course seeing and hearing you is more real to a four year old.
Leave a comment here and let us know what you did, and how to get to it, so we will be sure not to miss it.
I know everyone is busy. So to impose on you when you're probably busy with dinner and kids.
We are so thankful for how wonderful you have been to our family.
~ Brent

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:38 PM GMT on August 21, 2011
Tropical Storm Irene roared into life last night, transitioning from a tropical wave to a 50 mph tropical storm in just a few short hours. Irene is getting organized quickly, and has the potential to become a hurricane by Monday morning. All interests in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, the Bahamas, and South Florida should prepare for the arrival of this dangerous storm. An Air Force hurricane hunter aircraft in the storm found the strongest winds near 18°N latitude to the north of Irene's center at 8am this morning. After passing through the center, the plane returned to the area of strongest winds two hours later, and found that flight level winds at 5,000 feet had increased by about 5 - 8 mph. However, the pressure in the latest center fix taken at 10am EDT remained the same as two hours previously, 1007 mb, and the plane noted that Irene's center was not circular, signs that the storm still has some work to do before serious intensification can begin. Visible satellite loops and radar out of Martinique show the storm has rapidly organized this morning, with well-developed spiral bands forming and a large area of intense thunderstorms to the north of the center. Irene has shrugged off the dry air that was bothering it yesterday, and wind shear has fallen to the low range, 5 - 10 knots, as analyzed by the University of Wisconsin CIMSS group. Torrential rains and strong gusty winds are affecting the northern Lesser Antilles this morning. A wind gust of 41 mph was recorded at St. Eustatius at 8am local time.

The computer models are in agreement that Irene will pass just south of Puerto Rico tonight, then hit the south coast of Hispaniola in the Dominican Republic or Haiti on Monday afternoon. Irene should then emerge into the channel between Haiti and Cuba on Tuesday afternoon, when the storm will have 12 or so hours over water before having to contend with Cuba. A trough of low pressure is expected to move across the Eastern U.S. on Wednesday and Thursday, turning Irene to the northwest and north by Thursday. The timing and strength of this trough varies considerably from model to model, and will be critical in determining where and when Irene will turn to the north. Irene's strength will also matter--a stronger Irene is more likely to turn northward earlier. The most likely path for Irene is a track just east of the Florida Peninsula and into Georgia, South Carolina, or North Carolina by next weekend, but a landfall near Miami then directly up the Florida Peninsula is also a reasonable solution--like Tropical Storm Fay of 2008 did. Fay formed just off the coast of Puerto Rico, and was never quite able to get organized enough to become a hurricane, due to passage over Hispaniola and Cuba. Fay topped out as a strong tropical storm with 70 mph winds, and did over $500 million in damage in the U.S., mostly due to flooding rains in Florida that accumulated to over 25 inches in a few areas. Fay also dumped heavy rains on Hispaniola, triggering flooding that claimed eight lives.
Figure 2. Track of Tropical Storm Fay of 2008.
Intensity forecast for Irene
Irene is embedded in a large envelope of moisture now, and wind shear will remain low, 5 - 10 knots, for the next five days. With water temperatures very warm, 28 - 30°C, these conditions should allow for intensification except when land is interfering. Irene's current appearance on satellite loops gives me the impression of a storm that is not fooling around, and I expect Irene will be a hurricane before hitting Hispaniola on Monday. Passage over Hispaniola will not destroy Irene, since it is a fairly large storm. Once the storm finishes with Hispaniola, it will have to deal with Cuba, which will keep Irene from intensifying significantly. Once Irene pops off the coast of Cuba Wednesday or Thursday into the Florida Straits, Irene will likely be a tropical storm. If the storm then has at least a day over water before hitting land, it will likely become a hurricane again, and could become a major hurricane if it ends up missing South Florida and moving over the warm waters on either side of the Florida Peninsula.
Harvey hits Belize
Tropical Storm Harvey made landfall at 2pm EDT on Saturday near Dangriga Town, Belize, as a tropical storm with 60 mph winds. Harvey continues to dump very heavy rains on southern Mexico, but dissipation is expected tonight as the storm pushes inland. Harvey was a small storm, and the strongest winds were confined to a short stretch of coast near where the center came ashore. Winds at Belize City, Belize on Saturday topped out at 15 mph.

Invest 98L northwest of the Cape Verde Islands
A tropical wave few hundred miles northwest of the Cape Verde Islands off the coast of Africa, Invest 98L, has become disorganized and lost most of its heavy thunderstorms. The disturbance is moving over colder waters and encountering drier air, and NHC is giving 98L only a 10% chance of developing into a tropical depression by Tuesday. The latest set of model runs keep 98L well out to sea away from any land areas over the next five days.

Two men on a hillside, standing on a stony outcrop, look at the crescent moon shining in a luminous sky. Framed between a strong, sinuous oak and an angular, spiky pine, the younger man leans on his companion's shoulder, as though overcome by beauty. These are not detached scientific observers scrutinising a lunar phenomenon, but witnesses of God's ever-surprising Nature. Instead of that scientific examination of natural phenomena so characteristic of German learning at the time, Friedrich's painting is a parable of Christianity and paganism. The oak, used for heathen rituals, is dying; the evergreen pine, a symbol of Christianity, lives. The men are protected underneath its branches.
Friedrich painted several versions of this scene, similar in composition although varying in character. The earliest known dates from 1819, another of a man and woman was made c. 1824, and at least two more were painted about 1830.1Friedrich's friend Dahl refers to later versions by the artist and others in a letter of 26 September 1840, at the time he donated the 1819 painting to the Dresden Gemäldegalerie in memory of Friedrich:
This picture, full of sentiment and the quietness of nature, was painted by Friedrich in 1819 and he gave it to me in exchange for one of my own works. Friedrich had to copy it several times, but he did not approve of this, hence others copied it as well.2
While there is some disagreement about this version, close examination reveals Friedrich's blue underdrawing, a generous execution, and liberal and unique application of colour.3The characteristic freedom of the artist's hand can be seen here, with the silhouette of a dead branch on the right, jutting from a large rock – a pagan dolmen – which seems to buttress the old oak tree. A sawn stump on the left testifies to human life cut short while new vegetation, representing a growing Christianity, appears in a line of young pines on the right.
Friedrich's earlier works often show a lone hero in the landscape. A pair of figures now become part of the artist's repertoire, to symbolise friendship. They wear German national dress; the cloak and hat signalled opposition to the French invasions under Napoleon, and they were still popular signs of dissent against later reactionary German governments under Metternich. The men have been identified as Friedrich, leaning on a walking stick, and his pupil, August Heinrich (1794–1822), who died of consumption. It is touching the way the younger leans upon the older man, rather than the conventional reverse.
Friedrich captures the temporary and evanescent effects of this expedition to watch the moon and Venus, a strange phenomenon counterpoising the effects of light and darkness. The moon-filled sky is pale and glowing, denying blackness as the moon's natural element. The material world is dark, outlined against the eerie heavens.
Christine Dixon
1 The 1819 painting is in the Galerie Neue Meister, Dresden. A version made c. 1824, depicting the artist and his wife Caroline is in the National Galerie, Berlin. A c. 1830 version is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; this 1830s version is held in the Galerie Hans, Hamburg.
2Letter to the Dresden Gemäldegalerie, Sächsische Hauptarchiv, cited in Helmut Börsch-Supan and Karl Wilhelm Jähnig, Caspar David Friedrich: Gemälde, Druckgraphik und bildmässige Zeichnungen, Munich: Prestel, 1973, p. 216, note 34.
3 Because of its spontaneity and breadth of handling, and original variations on the other versions, this painting is unlikely to be a copy by another artist. Copyists are notoriously careful in their imitation, and all too accurate in their replication. This version is attributed to Friedrich by Werner Sumowski 1969, 1971, 1975 and by Jens Christian Jensen 1999, refuting Helmut Börsch-Supan and Karl Wilhelm Jähnig 1973, who attribute it to a copyist, perhaps Julius Leypold.

On Nov. 28, 2011, the Point Loma Nazarene University Board of Trustees reported that the contract for Dr. Bob Brower, PLNU president, was renewed for the years 2012-2016, by an overwhelming vote of support. During recent weeks an assessment and review of the president was conducted in preparation for the November 2011 board of trustees meeting. According to the president's contract, a renewal must be authorized by the board at least 90 days in advance of the contract expiration. The assessment and review included responses to an online survey, in which 80 surveys were submitted from 136 randomly selected participants from the following groups:
The assessment and review was conducted and summarized by an appointed committee of the board of trustees, including Carol Van Buskirk, Jan Stone, Craig Furusho, and board chair Steve Scott. With the assistance of Dr. Joyce Falk and the Office of Human Resources, the survey responses were compiled, and then the committee submitted their report to the full board of trustees for official action. "We are grateful for the manner in which Dr. Brower has served the Point Loma Nazarene University community over the past 14 years with integrity and distinction," Scott wrote in an email to the campus. "We anticipate a great future with his leadership and are grateful to serve alongside him as we continue to affirm and develop the mission of Point Loma Nazarene University."
Drs. Kathleen Czech and G. L. Forward presented their paper "Communication Climate, Leadership, and Job Satisfaction: Perspectives on Superior – Subordinate Communication" at the recent National Communication Association (NCA) conference in New Orleans. NCA is the largest academic association for communication scholars and practitioners and routinely attracts 7,500 to 8,000 participants to its annual conventions.
The paper reported on original research conducted by Czech and Forward that confirms that relational satisfaction, leader effectiveness, and employee job satisfaction can be accurately predicted by a combination of specific communication behaviors. Additionally, the research provides empirical support for the instrument used to measure these supportive and defensive behaviors.
This is the ninth co-authored conference paper for Forward and Czech and is part of an ongoing project studying communicative aspects of leadership and employer-employee relationships. One of these papers was named a top paper in organizational communication and four have been published in peer-reviewed, academic journals, including Communication Quarterly, Human Communication, The Journal of Communication and Religion, and Communication Research Reports.

Two new solar systems were dedicated at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday at PLNU. The new 620kW DC photovoltaic (PV) system and 54 kW solar thermal hot water system on PLNU's campus will provide a combined savings of up to $1.6 million over the next 20 years. The projects build on PLNU's first solar PV system developed by SPG Solar in 2008. PLNU continues to show their commitment to sustainability with one of the highest ratios of solar power to students in the U.S.
SPG Solar - a leading national solar energy company - designed, engineered and constructed the 620kW system that spans two rooftops and five solar carports, using Kyocera KD 235-watt solar panels. Perpetual Energy Systems financed the system through a Power Purchase Agreement under which PLNU will purchase the electricity produced at a predetermined rate over 20 years.
Concurrent to the PV system's construction was the installation of a 54 kW solar water heating system by Adroit Solar, an integrator of solar thermal systems. The system will provide an estimated 940 gallons of hot water a day to the student dorms and save the university $5,000 annually on utility bills. The project was financed by the Student Green Fund, a $5 semester fee initiated by students to provide funding for sustainability efforts on campus.
The two projects, which include more than 2,600 Kyocera solar panels, are expected to produce over 917,000 kilowatt-hours annually and provide a savings of up to $1.6 million over the next two decades.
What the partners are saying about these innovative solar projects:
"PLNU strives to be forward thinking and take a leadership role in sustainability efforts and environmental stewardship," said Dr. Bob Brower, president of PLNU. "The stewardship of resources is one of our core values. It was through the strong partnership with Kyocera, SPG Solar, Perpetual Energy Systems, and Adroit Solar that we were able to expand our solar portfolio."
"SPG Solar values its great partnership with Point Loma Nazarene University, to date installing nearly 1 megawatt (MW) of solar power on the campus," said SPG Solar CEO & President Chris Robine. "Through the dedicated support from the students, faculty and staff, PLNU is a leader and preparing for the future – securing predictable energy rates and enriching the educational experience for the students with this cross campus solar power system."
"PLNU is one of the most innovative universities, filled with students and faculty who are driven by energy, water and resource conservation. We applaud their decision to install a solar thermal system, which further showcases their sustainability efforts and provides consistent financial savings for years to come," said Jim Backman, President of Adroit Solar.
"Recognized for its leadership in the area of sustainability, PLNU has joined a growing number of environmentally conscience academic institutions whose investment in clean solar generated-electricity will benefit future generations," said Steve Hill, president of Kyocera Solar, Inc.
"PES is proud to count PLNU among the ranks of universities that clearly understand the benefits of hosting solar energy through power purchase agreements," said Michael Streams, Senior Vice President of Perpetual Energy Systems.

Review Details
Transit 2 Jacket
- Product Review (submitted on September 23, 2011):
The Perfect Riding Suit does not exist. I have a Darien jacket and pants which have served me well for 100K miles, from Prudhoe Bay (twice) to Unuvik to Ushuaia and back, as well as an Iron Butt 48 Plus One, but the lime green was fading and the suit showing signs of wear, so I broke down and bought a transit suit, jacket and pants.
Let me insert here that I live and ride a lot in Phoenix, so this suit is not going to be perfect for this kind of cook-stove weather. Nevertheless, I have ridden this suit for about 4000 miles, and am quite happy with it. Sure, it is hot when the ambient is 105 Fahrenheit, but there is no "perfect" in riding suits, or much else, for that matter. On a long ride, there is no room for several suits to adapt to the weather conditions, and a distance rider
I have not ridden all day in rain in this suit, but last week got caught in a gully-washer up in Jerome, AZ, and for the 15 minutes of heavy rain, I experienced no wetting what-so-ever. This suit is comfortable in most situations. I have a Widder vest and gloves, and will use those in conjunction with the Transit suit when temps drop, expecting to be just toasty warm and comfy.
This suit is quality, and it has met my expectations fully. I knew it would be "warm" in the desert heat, but am willing to suffer a bit of that in exchange for a suit that provides good abrasion protection, rain repellent features, excellent ballistics, and all around riding comfort.
I believe in ATGAT, and this suit makes it easy to conform to that policy.
I highly recommend this suit for serious riders.

As we move into the Fall season Scout Troops everywhere are packing into the woods for great adventures. Winter will soon be here and so Fall is a great time to reinforce the Leave No Trace Principles with the Scouts (and Adults) of your unit.
No matter what style of camping your Troop does the principles of Leave No Trace apply.
LNT.org is a great resource for you if you are just learning Leave No Trace or just need to brush up or see whats going on in the organization.
One of the cool things that LNT.org has is the Bigfoot Challenge. Check it out using the link.
The idea of the program is reducing your footprint.
Last year at the National Jamboree I made a commitment to do the Bigfoot challenge and have been teaching, coaching, and mentoring our Scouts to Leave No Trace. Part of our challenge was to get a Leave No Trace Trainer in the Troop… yes.. the youth position. The BSA has added a lot of Enhancements to its Leave No Trace Program and every unit should be taking advantage of it.
So back to the Bigfoot challenge… The challenge simply asks that we do simple acts of environmental activism.. now this does no mean that you have to wear tie die or sandles.. but it does mean, in a Scouting context, that we act responsibly in the outdoors and are good stewards of our environment, particularly the outdoors that we enjoy when we go camping.
Simple little things like teaching our Scouts how to better plan and prepare to reduce the amount of trace we take out into the woods, using the "Bearmuda" triangle when setting up camp to reduce impact and animal issues, better ways to clean up dishes and cookware, using the patrol method to reduce to impact of large groups.
The Bigfoot Challenge also offers the change to win prizes.. and wait for it… Yes there is a patch available at the LNT.org website.
So take the Bigfoot challenge…
Teach a Scout, Be an example, Join Leave No Trace and remember to reduce your footprint.. after all Bigfoot has been doing it for years!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Sodium helps regulate the balance of fluids in your body. When water builds up in your tissues (a common problem for PH patients), the volume of blood your heart has to pump also increases. One of the most effective ways of alleviating this condition is to reduce the amount of salt in your diet. If the edema is severe, however, or if it doesn't respond to a low-salt diet, your doctor may recommend a low-sodium diet. A diet that is low in salt is not necessarily also low in sodium.
Research has shown that a low-salt diet will have a greater impact on your health if it is coupled with a diet rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorous.
Your taste for salt will decrease over time. Therefore, if you decrease your salt intake in steps, you will hardly notice its absence. You will even begin to notice how much more flavorful your food tastes.
1/4 teaspoon salt = 500 mg sodium
1/2 teaspoon salt = 1,000 mg sodium
3/4 teaspoon salt = 1,500 mg sodium
1 teaspoon salt = 2,000 mg sodium
1 tsp baking soda = 1,000 mg sodium
1 tsp baking soda = 1,000 mg sodium

Simulation Model to Control Risk Levels on Process Equipment Through Metrology in Semiconductor Manufacturing Alejandro Sendón, Stéphane Dauzère-Pérès, Jacques Pinaton
This paper first presents a simulation model implemented to study a specific workcenter in semiconductor manufacturing facilities (fabs) with the objective of controlling the risk on process equipment. The different components of the model, its inputs and its outputs, that led us to propose improvements in the workcenter, are explained. The risk evaluated in this study is the exposure level in the number of wafers on a process tool since the latest control performed for this tool, based on an indicator called Wafer at Risk. Our analysis shows that measures should be better managed to avoid lack of control and that an appropriate qualification strategy is required.» Mehr lesen
Towards a Virtual Factory Prototype Sanjay Jain, David Lechevalier
A virtual factory should represent most of the features and operations of the corresponding real factory. Some of the key features of the virtual factory include the ability to assess performance at multiple resolutions and generate analytics data similar to that possible in a real factory. One should be able to look at the overall factory performance and be able to drill down to a machine and analyze its performance. It will require a large amount of effort and expertise to build such a virtual factory. This paper describes an effort to build a multiple resolution model of a manufacturing cell. The model provides the ability to study the performance at the cell level or at the machine level. The benefits and limitations of the presented approach and future research directions are also described.» Mehr lesen
Hybrid Simulation in Healthcare: New Concepts and New Tools Sally C. Brailsford
Until relatively recently, developing hybrid simulation models using more than one simulation paradigm was a challenging task which required a degree of ingenuity on behalf of the modeler. Generally speaking, such hybrid models either had to be coded from scratch in a programming language, or developed using two (or more) different off-the-shelf software tools which had to communicate with each other through a user-written interface. Nowadays a number of simulation tools are available which aim to make this task easier. This paper does not set out to be a formal review of such software, but it discusses the increasing popularity of hybrid simulation and the rapidly developing market in hybrid modeling tools, focusing specifically on applications in health and social care and using experience from the Care Life Cycle project and elsewhere.» Mehr lesen
Towards a Guide to Domain-specific Hybrid Simulation Anatoli Djanatliev, Reinhard German
The advantages of combined simulation techniques have been already frequently discussed and are well-covered by the recently published literature. In particular, many case studies have been presented solving similar domain-specific problems by different multi-paradigm simulation approaches. Moreover, a number of papers exist focusing on theoretical and conceptual aspects of hybrid simulation. However, it still remains a challenge to decide, whether combined methods are appropriate in certain situations and how they can be applied. Therefore, domain-specific user guides for multi-paradigm modeling are required combining general concepts and best practices to common steps. In this paper, we particularly outline three major processes targeting to define structured hybrid approaches in domain-specific contexts, and we focus on some practical issues aiming to a sustainable model development. Finally, an example hybrid methodology for problems in healthcare will be presented.» Mehr lesen

Hybrid Simulation of Production Process of Pupunha Palm José Arnaldo Barra Montevechi, Elisa Maria Melo Silva et al
This work simulated some alternatives of dynamic allocation of additional human resources in a company that produces various products from Pupunha palm. Its goal was to increase the average amount of trays produced per day in this line through a hybrid application of discrete event and agent-based simulation. Two different decision-making forms were proposed to find out which workstation should have received an additional operator. The first proposal was made on the level of occupancy of the operators, while the second one was made on the queue size. The computational model was operationally validated by comparing its results with the actual production data of the company.» Mehr lesen
Cyber Defense Econometric of a Power Grid Distribution Infrastructure Cory-Khoi Q. Nguyen, James Eric Dietz, Samuel Liles et al
In collaboration with a Midwest Utility Provider, we developed a cyber defense econometric model via Anylogic that not only simulates the operational process of the Utility's local distribution infrastructure, but also helps to minimize the cost of implementing security. By measuring the economic impact of various cyber attacks affecting disparate components of the distribution infrastructure, it was discovered that both extremes of the paradigm (no security measures implemented vs. securing every device) were unacceptable solutions in regards to protecting the business financially.» Mehr lesen

Air Impact Wrenches
Before the air impact wrench, changing a tire during a pit stop took at least a full minute. If you've seen a Nascar, F1, Indy Car or other pro race pit stop in the last 50 years, you know with the help of an impact gun those tires can come off and on in about 15 seconds. They can save you even more time in your shop, the first time you run up against a stuck nut that no amount of strength with a ratchet handle can budge. The rhythmic hammer nature of air impact guns can also break lose fasteners that make it difficult to hold the other side of, like axles and harmonic balance bolts.

Diana Palmer, the New York Times bestselling author of more than one hundred novels, is renowned as one of North America's top ten romance writers. When she published her first novel in 1979, fans immediately fell in love with her sensual, charming romances
and this love affair will only heat up with her upcoming books.
A die-hard romantic who married her husband five days after they met, Diana says that she wrote her first book at age thirteenand has been hooked ever since.
Palmer began her career as a newspaper reporter and columnista path she followed for sixteen years. When her novel Heather's Song was purchased by Silhouette Books in 1980, she retired her press badge and devoted herself to a life filled with romance and penning the page-turners her readers find so hard to put down.
This dynamic woman graduated summa cum laude from Piedmont College in 1995at the age of forty-nine! "College was an experience I'll always cherish," she says. "Now I fund a scholarship at my alma mater in my late father's namehe'd laugh to know that it's a science scholarship, when I can barely do math! I also fund a nursing scholarship at the Oglala Lakota College in Kyle, South Dakota, in the name of my mother, who was a nurse."
Palmer is a member of the Native American Rights Fund, the American Museum of Natural History, the National Cattleman's Association, the Planetary Society, the Georgia Sheriff's Association and numerous conservation and charitable organizations. Her hobbies include gardening, knitting, quilting, anthropology, astronomy and music.
