Brazilian Quality Benchmarks for elearning – MEC 1. Concept of education and curriculum design in the process of teaching and learning The course project the institutions' submit to MEC for evaluation must include a rationale for the ways in which education, curriculum design, teaching and learning are approached. The institutions need to consider the types of students they are targeting and then define the best approaches to teaching, the most suitable methods for course material production, the communication strategies and the assessment techniques. The institution's epistemological choice for the course design needs to be made clear and should demonstrate how it can support the curriculum and the desired learning outcomes. The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in distance education needs to be supported by a philosophy of learning that offers the learners opportunities to interact, develop collaborative projects, recognise and respect different cultures and to construct knowledge together. Knowledge (as described in the document) is constructed individually and collectively by the learners and is a product of information processing and interpretation. Knowledge is the meaning attributed to reality and is highly context dependent. In this sense, the aim of higher education is human development. This is why a course project needs to present an innovative curriculum organisation, which aims to integrate course content and teaching approaches while at the same time favouring a dialogue between the student and society. The student is at the centre of the pedagogical process. In this student-centred model ICTs in education can be frequently perceived as an exciting new way of learning. This is why it is suggested that the course project's pedagogical proposal should include starter modules in which to introduce the learners to this study mode and to teach them the minimum skills for studying at a distance. The student-centred model also requires effective mechanisms for student support, particularly for students with learning difficulties. 2. Communication systems Interactivity is the core element in distance education if joint knowledge construction is to be achieved. As the students are at the centre of the educational process, interactivity between the tutors and the students is essential. The use of ICTs therefore is highly encouraged (telephone, fax, mail, videoconference, email, online discussion forums and virtual learning environments). Interactivity between the course authors and the tutors should also be a priority. The course project must therefore present: detailed explanation of what communication media will be available and how they will be used; the number of working hours allocated to the course authors and tutors to interact between themselves and to cater for the learners' needs; a vast offer of helpdesk hours and tutor office-hours for the students, and a number of regional centres with appropriate infrastructure for the face-to-face components of the course. 3. Course material It is suggested that the course materials should reflect the epistemological and methodological choices presented in the course project. They should be designed to develop specific skills and competences, in accordance with the technologies in use and in line with the socio-economic context of the students targeted. Institutions must note that experience in designing courses for face-to-face presentation is not enough to ensure quality in course material for the distance education mode. The latter requires material designed for purpose, which contains appropriate teaching language, study guides and a description of activity length and expected study hours. Course materials should be designed in the form of printed materials, web pages, videotapes, CD-ROMs, DVDs, TV programmes, radio programmes and learning objects that can be distributed and used in different types of media. In order to achieve this it is essential that the institutions have multidisciplinary staff to conceptualise and coordinate the production of these resources. Accessibility of course materials for students with disabilities should also be catered for in all formats. 4. Assessment MEC analyses the course projects in this item at two levels: a) regarding the learning processes and b) regarding institutional evaluation. In terms of the learning processes, the model of assessment must help the learner to develop cognitive competences, skills and attitudes that will lead them to achieve the desired learning outcomes. Therefore, assessment must be a continuous process, aiming to identify possible learning difficulties and to provide ways to overcome those difficulties during the course. Exams will be carried out at a distance and in the face-to-face mode; the latter receiving particular attention regarding attendance and invigilation of exam venues to ensure the credibility of the results. The legislation establishes that face-to-face exams are compulsory and take priority over remote modes of assessment. With regard to institutional evaluation, each institution must plan and implement a system in which to evaluate the quality of the conditions of delivery of the courses and the pedagogical processes used. This evaluation system must be permanent and aim to improve the overall quality of the course and the services that the institution provides. It must include an account of: the pedagogical framework of the course; the physical infrastructure of the institution (buildings, classrooms, common areas, etc.); and the techniques for meta-assessment (a critical evaluation of all assessment processes, with regard to students' performance, staff performance and course flow). 5. Multidisciplinary course team The configuration of the multidisciplinary team (course authors, tutors, technical and secretarial staff) must indicate diversity in capabilities and demonstrate that the staff are qualified to perform their roles. 6. Support infrastructure An account of the support infrastructure offered must be provided (equipment such as televisions, computers, printers, multimedia players and the availability of free dialling services for students to contact the helpdesk and the tutors – 0800 numbers). These should be available to the students at the regional centre. 7. Management of academic and administrative issues Higher education institutions should make clear in their course project their quality benchmarks. This should also contain a detailed explanation of logistical procedures for production and distribution of course materials, and exams handling. 8. Financial sustainability The course project should contain a careful analysis of costs throughout the planning and implementation of the course. It should also present a long-term financial sustainability plan.

Litto, F. (2008) 'Public policy and distance education in Brazil' in Evans, T., Haughey, M. and Murphy, D. (eds) International Handbook of Distance Education, London, Elsevier.
Why, in your experience, do some critics have this opinion?, over-regulation, earlier prohibition (which was over turned) on recognising distance degrees., however public universities have the exclusive right to recognise distance degrees, ignores equality before the law, implicit presumption of quality of distance degree, due to worry that people will game the system and take advantage, fear issue???
How can criticisms of distance education be answered, in your own context?, GOOD QUESTION....
How applicable is this claim to your own situation?, review the TICs at Mineduc and see what issues come up that inform the answer to this question, over-legislating issue - present in many areas in latin countries due to use of codes for law rather than common law as is common in UK / USA...., not sure - need to research this
What might be the advantages of a more open system, in which the institutions can do as they like?, allowing students to take their exams anywhere, opening up access, innovation in the use of just in time learning, development of further courses using pedagogies that are suited to the learners' needs not proscribed, e.g.: university of southern queeslands use of totally automated system of study

Watching Confirmation, I am reminded of the sexual-harassment my mother suffered on her jobs at the hands of her employers and managers, when I was a kid growing up. How common it was for men at that time to pull this crap on virtually every woman in their sphere.
And as a teenager in the 80s I found myself being sexually harassed by a supervisor on one of my first jobs, before I even knew what sexual-harassment was.
It was an awful experience that damage me emotionally. I wound up quitting that job when it became clear that I was no longer welcome at that organization, after I refused to submit to a sexual relationship with that supervisor.
So there was never any doubt in my mind, or the mind of any woman who has been put through that awfulness on the job, that Anita Hill was describing real abuse at the hands of her employer. And at the time she had no place to turn, and there was nothing she could do about it except endure it or quit.
No surprise that a person like Clarence Thomas wound up rising to the top of his profession without anyone calling him on his abuse, until there was a political interest in doing so. Because for years, and no doubt for millennia throughout human history, women and many men just had to put up with this abuse in silence, and accept it as just a part of being in the workforce. And there was nothing you could do without having your life turned upside down and your career destroyed.
Times and the law may have changed, but this kind of thing still goes on all the time everywhere. And people without power still have to put up with it, or take the risk of coming forward and speaking out.
To all those who consider fighting back, I advise you to make sure you have evidence to back up your allegations. Record everything, Document everything, get video and audio evidence of what's being done to you before you come forward. That way no one will be able to deny the truth when you tell it.
And for the record, Clarence Thomas is a Low down dirty dog, who doesn't have the judicial chops or temperament to be judging a hot dog eating contest, let alone sitting on the Supreme Court of the United States.
Thomas's confirmation represented and still represents everything that is wrong with America, and everything that must be stamped out, if this country is to evolve into an equitable and safe society for everyone. His abuse of power will never be forgotten by the history books, or by any of those who still suffer in silence.

| Glow-in-the-dark tape added
|Gripped with clear vicious
|Fro Pic-X fully assembled, electrical box covers painted, gripped and used as oversized washers to create more secure truck mounts
|Fro Pic-X Caliber 50 trucks, painted Grape to match the color of the board.
|Fro Pic-X Roadside
|Gorilla glue tape runs the entire perimeter of the board including just below the gas pedals, covered by a layer of reflective white tape
| I painted the wheel cutouts white and added glow-in-the-dark tape on the bottom of the tale and the tip of the nose, These wheels stickers with a couple of glow-in-the-dark tape strips to outline the graphic
|The nose guard is designed to cut down on impact damage that contributes to delamination, and hopefully extend the life of the board.
|Providing complete protection for the tail required 3 guards in the positions which will likely take a direct curb impact
|After painting the bumpers white to match the board, they were covered with Red and white reflective tape, making the board much more visible at night.
|The nose got white and orange reflective tape
|The bumpers served to protect the board and also make it more visible improving safety for the rider
|The highly reflective tape along the edge of the board also improves safety by making it more visible at night. The Gorilla glue tape beneath provides protection for the board from road damage. It's easy to remove and replace.
|Another plus to all the reflective and glow-in-the-dark surfaces, when you're board goes rogue land torpedo on you and plummets down into a ravine or disappears into the undergrowth at night, it makes it a whole lot easier to find.
|The Supermodel converted to atop Mount, also added some Vicious grip tape replacing the original Jessup tape
|Have been riding this Earthwing for two years now and it's holding up well.
|As a top mount the board is definitely more divey and responsive
|The Indy trucks are much more responsive in the top mount configuration
Bought a couple of electrical box covers from Home Depot, and trimmed them down to use as reinforcement plates for the truck mounting points. A noticeable decrease in overall flex and a definite improvement in board stiffness and overall stability at speed while bombing. Covered them in reflective engineering tape to match the rest of the board.
|The metal plate compensates for the wood that's been removed to make the board a dropped through, the stiffening and stabilizing effect is so pronounced I think I might try this method on my next topmount build
|Overall I think the top mount conversion worked well, board feels much the same, not as good for pushing since it's higher, but a noticeable improvement in leverage In this mounting configuration, plus significantly improved stiffness with the plates, compared to this configuration without the plates.

During Session I, you'll explore Paris through a series of onsite excursions through the city and extensive readings in social and political history, architectural history, and literature. Session II examines the urban development of Prague and the arts of the Czech Lands, looking at art and architectonic styles of Prague, Central Europe, and the Continent throughout ten centuries of historical development.
Immerse yourself in French and Czech culture through a series of activities and field trips.
Session I includes one weekend class trip and one day trip. Past destinations for weekend trips have included Toulouse, Dijon, and Marseille, while destinations for day trips have included Vaux-le-Vicomte and Chartres. One guided walk of Paris is included in each session.
Session II includes one weekend excursion, as well as class excursions that are linked to academic themes. Cultural activities are organized with the aid of Charles University students. The weekend excursion includes visits to Plzen and/or Jáchymov. In Jáchymov (the former Gulag work camp for political prisoners), you'll visit the uranium mines with a survivor of the work camp. The Plzen tour starts with a visit to Europe's second largest synagogue and includes a trip to the monument of the Victims of Evil and a tour of the George Patton Museum.
Field trip destinations are subject to change each year and are based on individual faculty members and their course design and content.

Students may also enroll in the optional Communicative Czech Language and/or Communicative French Language course(s), each for an additional 15 contact hours for 1 semester / 1.5 quarter hours. Total credit for the program is 6-8 semester / 9-12 quarter hours.
Students are required to enroll in the Paris Collage course in Paris during Session I and in the Art and Architecture of Prague course during Session II. Students may also choose to enroll in the optional Communicative French Language and Communicative Czech Language courses . Although other courses are offered at both locations during the summer, students on this special multi-site program must adhere to the required curriculum.
Paris, the capital of France, is a major world metropolis. The Seine River traverses the city; its waterways, quays, and bridges are major thoroughfares, as well as ways to see the city's most famous monuments, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre museum, and the Notre Dame cathedral. The city is known for its cafés (one for every 200 inhabitants); its parks (Bois de Boulougne, Jardin de Luxembourg, and Bois de Vincennes); and its street life and markets. Paris is also known as a center for culture, art, fashion, gastronomy, and intellectual life.
Because of its innumerable characteristic steeples, Prague is called the "Hundred-Towered City" and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. A member of the EU, Prague is a perfect example of the steady development of a society, recently transitioning from its communist past. With a population of only 1,200,000, Prague has an unusually rich cultural life, including festivals, operas, concerts, and cultural programs, many of which are accessible to students on a budget. CIEE students experience life similar to that of Czech students and make use of the city's numerous neighborhoods just like native Praguers.
Brent Keever is Director of the CIEE Global Institute - Paris. He received his B.A. in English and literary criticism from Princeton University, and his Ph.D. in English and modern studies from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He has taught and lectured in, on such topics as satire and humor, the literary and cinematic representations of sound, mysticism, and technology, and ethics in cartoons. His research interests include the history of critical theory and criticism, film studies, musicology, and modernist poetry and prose. He is currently working on a project that throws into question certain theories about listening and sharing.
We all know Paris—or think we do. For many of us, Paris holds a place in our dreams, as the city of love, or of the arts, or of the mind. But what does it take to experience some small part of real, daily life in Paris today? The idea of the summer program is for students at all levels of their French language studies and with many disciplinary approaches to find a way to deepen their knowledge of things French. For some, this may mean working hard on their language skills, whether beginner or advanced; for others, a plunge into the history of art; for others, an in-depth look at classic literature, or a study of Francophone culture. Focused themes can also be approached, through special in-depth classes on disability studies and on contemporary philosophy. One way or another, we, the CIEE staff, hope to make it possible for you to explore what intrigues you about France, and also to discover new facets of the city of Paris.

It is less than a minute from the Grands Boulevards—a 10-minute walk to the Palais Royal, a 15-minute walk to the Louvre, and a 15-minute walk to the Opéra Garnier.
All CIEE summer courses are held at the CIEE Study Center, located in the scenic and historic neighborhood of Vyšehrad. Although the CIEE Study Center is not located in a CU building, CIEE courses are recognized by Charles University and taught by faculty from various Charles University faculties and institutes. Founded in 1348 by the Czech King Charles IV, CU is the oldest university in Central Europe. It has 17 schools, 3 institutes, 4,000 teaching/research staff, and 42,400 enrolled students.
In Paris, study abroad students live either at a student residence or at a homestay In the first case, students live in a double room with their own bathroom, a shared kitchen in a common area, a gym and a pool. Meals are not included. In the homestay option (limited), they will have their own bedroom, breakfast, and an additional four meals per week. Food markets are within walking distance of each housing option.
While in Prague, students reside in apartments in popular neighborhoods with fellow CIEE participants and a CIEE Flat Buddy—a Charles University student who helps CIEE students adjust to student life in Prague. Students share double rooms and kitchen and bathroom facilities. Meals are not included. Students can purchase food supplies and prepare meals in the apartment kitchens.
Apartments are located throughout Prague and commuting times and distances vary. It's important for students to be aware that commuting is part of daily life in Prague, and the location of most apartments requires daily use of public transportation. It is common for the student commute, including public transportation and walking, to take up to 35 minutes one way. A transportation pass is included in the program fees.
An intensive mandatory multi-day study abroad orientation session takes place at the beginning of both Session I and Session II. Orientation activities help students master the practical details of daily life in Paris and Prague. Activities include welcome dinners; walking tours of downtown Paris and Prague; and sessions on practical matters, cultural differences, safety and security, and academics. Ongoing support is provided on an individual and group basis throughout the program.
Students have internet access on campus and at their residences and are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop.
The summer Art and Architecture multi-site study abroad program involves two four-week academic sessions and is designed for students with an interest in European architecture, art history, and art. The program combines separate courses focusing on French and Czech art and architecture, allowing students to compare and contrast architectural styles, art movements, and explore the ways in which French and Czech architecture and art have impacted urban landscapes today.
The program is made up of two 4 week sessions. Courses typically meet every morning or afternoon, Monday to Friday, for three hours, with structured outings and one required overnight study tour each session. The courses are designed for U.S. undergraduates, so the teaching and learning methods will be familiar to participants. Moreover, all professors in the summer study abroad program are accustomed to teaching U.S. students.
CIEE courses are intellectually rigorous, and students should expect to be active participants in all aspects of the class, keeping up with daily reading assignments and participating in class discussions. In addition to lectures and discussions, classes may include film viewings and outings related to the themes of the class.
There are significant differences between the U.S. educational system and the European systems. Students must be aware that a high degree of self-motivation and self-discipline is required, and that independent learning and active participation in class are necessary for achieving satisfactory academic performance. Professors use both the classroom as well as the city as a direct resource for their teaching. Lectures are supplemented with class excursions and guest lectures related to class topics. Students should be prepared to spend two-thirds of each weekday in class or in class-related activities.
Students enroll in courses with other CIEE students only.
Assessment for content classes is based on participation, short papers, tests, and oral presentations. Papers require students to conduct independent research and/or independent analysis of texts and material covered in class. Attendance and punctuality in all classes weigh heavily in student evaluations. Please see the syllabi for detailed course requirements.
Courses are taught by faculty from a range of Paris and Prague institutions and are specialists in their respective fields.
Note: This course listing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a contract between CIEE and any applicant, student, institution, or other party. The courses, as described, may be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions, assignment of lecturers and teaching staff, and program development. Courses may be canceled due to insufficient enrollment.

Sediment-laden water pours into the Gulf of Mexico from the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers. Credit: Norman Kuring, Ocean Color Team.
As you can see from the image above, a lot more than water comes down a river. The Mississippi and its distributary, the Atchafalaya River, carry an average of 230 million tons of soil into the Gulf of Mexico every year. On flood years, the total runs a lot higher.
That's going to cause downstream problems this year... all the way downstream to the ocean. But before we go there, let's take a quick look at how the system works.

The graphic above shows sediment concentration and sediment discharge for major US rivers. The giant half-circle in the Gulf represents the Mississippi/Atchafalaya discharge. Why are the two rivers bundled together? Because they're really the same river: the parentheses bracketing a 100-mile-wide delta.

Before 1927's epic flood, the Mississippi was free to wander the delta, whiplashing between courses whenever a huge flood year like this one pushed it over its banks—a process known as delta switching. In the above image you can see some of its historical courses and when it ran them.
For much of the 20th century the Mississippi has been trying to leave its current course and flow back through its old Atchafalaya course. In his always-excellent WunderBlog, Jeff Masters explains:
There is a better way to the Gulf—150 miles shorter, and more than twice as steep. This path lies down the Atchafalaya River... Each year, the path down the Atchafalaya grows more inviting. As the massive amounts of sediments the Mississippi carries—scoured from fully 41% of the U.S. land area—reach the Gulf of Mexico, the river's path grows longer. This forces it to dump large amounts of sediment hundreds of miles upstream, in order to build its bed higher and maintain the flow rates needed to flush such huge amounts of sediment to the sea. Thus the difference in elevation between the bed of the Mississippi and the Atchafalaya—currently 17-19 feet at typical flow rates of the rivers—grows ever steeper, and the path to the Gulf down the Atchafalaya more inviting. Floods like this year's great flood further increase the slope, as flood waters scour out the bed of the Atchafalaya.

Of course it makes no difference to the Gulf of Mexico whether the floodwaters come down the Mississippi or the Atchafalaya. What matters to the ocean is what's in the river water. The Mississippi drains the entirety of America's breadbasket... therefore its fertilizerbasket, pesticidebasket, fungicidebasket, and manurebasket.
River water, with its organic nutrient loads, naturally acts as a fertilizer on ocean chemistry. Add in the runoff from farms and feedlots—with nitrogen and phosphorous loads from chemical fertilizers and manure—and you get a Miracle-Gro on steroids. Which, paradoxically, fuels an oceanic dead zone.
Phytoplankton. Credit: NOAA MESA Project.
I wrote extensively about this problem in my Mother Jones cover, The Fate of the Ocean, a few years back.
The Gulf of Mexico dead zone forms every summer when spring floods wash the nutrients downriver into the Gulf to fertilize massive oceanic plant blooms. The marine plants are mostly single-celled phytoplankton.
The problem is the phytoplankton bloom so fast and furiously that their primary consumers, the zooplankton, can't bloom fast enough to keep up and eat them all. Many phytoplankton die uneaten and are then consumed by detritivores—the microorganisms like bacteria that feed on (that is, decompose) dead things. The Gulf's spring and summer phytoplankton blooms also fuel detritivore blooms.

Unfortunately, growing populations of detritivores use up much of the dissolved oxygen in the water. Marine life that can't swim away or otherwise flee these increasingly hypoxic zones, suffocate and die. You can see the results in the image above.

Researchers are expecting a mighty dead zone will form from this year's mighty floods. The Gulf, staggering back from last year's oily assaults on its ecosystems, will likely pay a heavy price... again, smack in the middle of the most breeding season for everything from seabirds to tuna... and smack in the middle of important seasons for commercial fisheries, sports fisheries, and tourism.
So is there anything we can do about the problem? The Microbial Life Education Center at Minnesota's Carleton College—in the heart of Mississippi farmland—suggests these fixes:
Using fewer fertilizers and adjusting the timing of fertilizer applications to limit runoff of excess nutrients from farmland
Control of animal wastes so that they are not allowed to enter into waterways
Monitoring of septic systems and sewage treatment facilities to reduce discharge of nutrients to surface water and groundwater
Careful industrial practices such as limiting the discharge of nutrients, organic matter, and chemicals from manufacturing facilities

The solutions are relatively simple and highly effective. A similar course change has already been used to remediate the effects of overly nutrient-rich waters in the Great Lakes.

In myth, the fox is better known for its cunning rather than its courage. It has become a symbol of trickery, deceit, and even had its name attributed to false prophets in the Bible.
Yet the bad press received is counter to the fox's natural strengths and abilities. An examples of this animal's ability to adapt, and above all, survive, include living on a diet of scavenged scraps while always remaining one step ahead of its many predators.
A member of the canine family, the fox has understandably been able to colonize many parts of the world. As a relation of dogs, wolves, and coyotes, this animal naturally sits on the boundaries of civilization. However this closeness to domestication has meant that while some species have thrived in the urban jungle, others have not.
This species success story is therefore best seen outside of cities, in the remote habitats where the variations in fox's biology can really be seen and appreciated. Though you may have to look hard to see them, as these "true foxes" of the deserts, mountains, tundras, and frozen worlds are kings of being coy.
Of the 37 species referred to as foxes, only 12 actually belong to the Vulpes genus of true foxes. One that fits into this category (but also that of its own genus) is the Arctic fox. Surviving in a subzero temperatures, this compact fox has evolved to have short ears, short legs, and incredibly dense fur. This canine's unique physical development does not stop there. Footpads covered with thick hair enable this small creature to hunt all year round by protecting it from the severe cold and even providing traction on ice.
Moving further along the evolutionary scale, the compact body and dense fur can be seen again, but in a very different environment. The Tibetan Fox is characterized by its soft, thick, red fur and long bushy tail with white tip. The tail is essential for battling the fierce Tibetan winds that come from both the barren grasslands and rocky mountainous areas, an area that sees temperatures drop to -30C! A fox's life is not an easy life, even outside of the Arctic.
We then arrive at the opposite end of the scale from where we began—from freezing ice worlds to hot deserts—with the most intriguing of them all, the Fennec fox. The smallest canid in the world, this animal's entire body has adapted to cope with the extreme nature of its environment. The Fennec's coat deflects heat during the day and keeps it warm at night, helping the fox deal with the desert's high temperatures and low levels of available water. Its ears have grown in size and evolved blood vessels extremely close to the skin in order to dissipate even more heat. And we needn't mention the greatly increased hearing ability that is provided by such large ears.
As this fox species shows us, there is a lot more to these carnivores that can be seen on the streets of our cities. Some even prefer fruit and berries to live prey! Yet as ever-evolving survivors, they are living proof that even if you've seen one, you definitely haven't seen them all.

Environmental groups are going after the world's largest publisher of children's books for teaming up with the American Coal Foundation to produce "The United States of Energy," a lesson plan designed for fourth-graders. The foundation, online at Teachcoal.org, is devoted to creating "coal-related educational materials and programs designed for teachers and students."
"We hope that you and your students enjoy this energizing program!" proclaims the teaching guide. The materials use coal, oil, natural gas, and renewables as a starting point for lessons on geography, science, and math, and promise to teach students "that different types of energy (e.g., solar, fossil fuels) have different advantages and disadvantages." But the materials are decidedly lacking on that latter front. The worksheets ask kids to explore the question, "What are the benefits of this kind of energy?" without ever entertaining the possibility that there might be problems to consider as well.

Humans are behind a number of species extinctions, but in Uganda it's chimps that are hunting monkeys into oblivion. Chimps in Uganda have been hunting red colobus monkeys, so much so that the monkey's population has dropped 89% from 1975 to 2007. The findings were reported in the American Journal of Primatology this week.
According to the IUCN's Red List of endangered species (both the chimps and their prey are endangered), the red colobus monkey population is around 20,000 animals. Most of them live in Uganda's Kibale National Park, which also hosts the nation's largest chimp population. The decline in red colobus monkeys in the past 30 years has been accompanied with a 53% increase in chimp sightings, which researchers say suggests the two are related. The study's authors report that between the 1990s and 2002, chimps killed 15-53% of the monkey population every year. Although chimps are often solitary, during hunting raids they coordinate to kill the smaller, vegetarian colobus monkeys. The chimps preyed especially on young or juvenile monkeys, which created an additional reproductive toll on the species. A single chimp outweighs a single monkey by about 50 pounds (around 20 lbs vs. 70 lbs), so one can imagine that when they band together, the monkeys don't have much of a chance.
But why do chimps hunt in the first place? Some have theorized that males will hunt more during mating season to swap meat for sex with females, and some say that chimps hunt more during the dry season where the supply of fruit and leaves runs thin. At least one scientist has said both those theories are false, and that chimps actually hunt as a form of male bonding (sound familiar, humans?). We may never know exactly why chimps hunt, but a Yale professor interviewed by New Scientist says all is not lost for the red colobus monkeys of Uganda. Professor David Watts said that chimps are hunting less often than previously, meaning that young chimps may not be able to hunt as effectively as their elders.

April 2011 saw a remarkable amount of anti-choice legislation. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 33 laws in 9 states restricted abortion or made it more difficult for women to obtain them. The states that made new restrictions on abortion in April were all located in the middle of the country, except for Virginia, which passed a bill restricting abortion coverage under insurance exchanges.
Kansas seemed to be one of the more extreme states: it passed laws banning abortion after 20 weeks, requiring written parental consent for abortions on minors, and revising its "partial birth" abortion ban. It also passed a law requiring pre-abortion counseling, mandating that medical staff tell women that abortion ends the life of a "whole, separate, unique, living human being" and provide information on the father's liability for child support and copious lists of adoption and parenting resources.
April victories aren't slowing down pro-life Kansans, they're trucking along with a proposal to stop private insurance companies from offering standard abortion coverage along with other medical service. And as we've reported previously, the first practitioner to offer abortions in Wichita since the murder of Dr. George Tiller has been stopped by her landlord for creating a "nuisance."

Fires occur at US nuclear plants a total of ten times a year on average, but most sites are underprepared for the event of a disaster, according to two reports published today by ProPublica and iWatch News. The independent reviews highlight how over the last three decades, industry neglect and gaps in regulatory enforcement have contributed to the risk of fire-induced nuclear accidents at the 104 existing plants across the country. The reports come in the wake of the March earthquake that triggered a leak at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi reactor, which has resulted in the country freezing its own nuclear power expansion plans. Here are some of the reports' most alarming findings:
Nuclear plant fires have not killed any Americans to date, which might explain why the hazard has been downplayed. But shortcomings like fire protection violations make disasters more likely, the Union of Concerned Scientists' David Lochbaum told ProPublica. And as the map below shows, nuclear reactors are clustered in some of the most dense areas of the US, meaning the risk of fire is simply too dangerous to go unaddressed. "The NRC is to nuclear power today what the SEC was to Wall Street three years ago," Richard Brodsky, a former Westchester, NY assemblyman told iWatch.

TransCanada, the company that is petitioning the US government to build a massive pipeline from Alberta's tar sands down to refineries in Texas, may have hit a bit of a snag this week as the massive pipeline they already operate in the US dumped 21,000 gallons (500 barrels) of crude in North Dakota. The oil the pipeline was carrying, diluted bitumen, is fresh from the tar sands.
From the Wall Street Journal:
The spill occurred early Saturday morning, resulting from a valve failure at a pump station about 40 miles southwest of Milner, N.D. The spill was contained on TransCanada's property, and two dozen workers have been able to clean up 300 barrels so far, company spokesman Terry Cunha said on Monday.
The pipeline in question stretches from Alberta, Canada into Oklahoma and Illinois, carrying 591,000 barrels of crude a day. It opened in June of last year, but as the Michigan Messenger points out, this is already its 12th leak. Not a great start, to say the least. As Anthony Smith of the Natural Resources Defense Council writes:
Considering that Keystone has been in operation for less than a year and it was predicted to spill no more than once every seven years, this is yet another troubling indicator that U.S. safety regulations intended for pipelines moving conventional oil may not be sufficient for pipelines moving diluted bitumen. And the Keystone pipeline is not going to get any stronger or safer than it is now, as many of the risks associated with hot, high pressure diluted bitumen pipelines—including internal corrosion, abrasion and stress corrosion cracking—only weaken pipelines over time.
But TransCanada's spokesman insists this is not a big deal—the pipeline itself isn't leaking, only its stations. "The system is working as it should," Cunha told the WSJ. "We built the system to the best of our ability to ensure these things don't happen, but when they do we respond immediately, and we were able to shut down the system within minutes."
Of course, the company has every reason to downplay the problems. The State Department is currently deciding whether to allow the company to build a 1,661-mile extension for the pipeline, a $12 billion project. The plan has drawn criticism from property owners, ranchers, farmers, environmentalists and some local politicians for the impact a potential spill could have on land and water resources in the region. I'm guessing the latest incident doesn't help TransCanada's case very much.

Senate Democrats are ramping up their efforts to make oil subsidies a big issue—and an inconvenient one for Republicans. With the debate about the debt ceiling revving up, they want to make an issue of the $21 billion worth of tax breaks that they've proposed cutting.
Democrats on Tuesday released a bill that would slash those subsidies. Today, they're holding a press conference at an ExxonMobil station on Capitol Hill to drive home the point. Via The Hill:
All the savings would be steered toward deficit reduction, which Democrats made their top talking point as they baited GOP foes on nixing the incentives.
"If you are serious about deficit reduction and you say Big Oil's tax breaks are off limits, how serious can you be?" said Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), a key strategist for Senate Democrats.
Democratic Sens. Claire McCaskill (Mo.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Jon Tester (Mont.), and Robert Menendez (N.J.) are also lead sponsors of the bill—and the former three are looking at difficult reelection bids in 2012. But that's sort of the point of this whole maneuver. Subsidy reform isn't likely to pass the Senate, let alone the House. But they are banking on Americans being annoyed at both the debt and high gas prices, and being able to use that as a campaign weapon.
Speaking of cashing in on populist revolt against Big Oil, the Center for American Progress took a look at how little ExxonMobil currently pays in taxes, thanks in large part to these loopholes. Here's what it looks like:

An online biology textbook up for approval by the Texas State Board of Education is drawing fire from scientific and education groups for tacitly pushing creationism. Created by the obscure, New Mexico-based International Databases LLC, the textbook seeks to justify the existence of a higher being while avoiding direct mention of God or the Bible. The Texas Freedom Network, which monitors the religious right in Texas, said in a press release that its adoption by the SBOE would be "a shocking leap backward."
The notes to teachers accompanying the chapter leave little doubt that pushing a belief in God is the ultimate goal:
[A]t the end of the instructional unit on the Origin of Life students should go home with the understanding that a new paradigm of explaining life's origins is emerging from the failed attempts of naturalistic scenarios. This new way of thinking is predicated on the hypothesis that intelligent input is necessary for life's origins.

Of course, this is far from the first attempt to insert creationism into Texas classrooms; the issue has often been a cause célèbre for right-wing members of the State Board of Education, as well as Republican state legislators. The SBOE will vote on adopting the new science curriculum materials in July.

A Beginning
(Dramatic title, yeah yeah, I know)
Today, I am proud of myself.
I can honestly say that I surprised myself. Even when, at seven o'clock yesterday morning, I logged onto UCAS and saw that "Congratulations!" I couldn't have imagined my grades. I knew that I'd at least gotten my A's to get in, but I am yet to understand how I managed two A* and an A.
It was unexpected, for two reasons. Firstly, I never thought my A would be in RS. I think it might have been me getting complacent, but I felt as if that A* was in the bag, and that I would get an A given the average that would come from my results last year. My Philosophy teacher blanked me a little at results - he clearly thought I'd have gotten higher, and so did I. I suppose that just shows how strange results are, and examiners. Last year, the approach to my exam paper paid off very well, an examiner liked the cocky little madam on the other end of that pen. This year, either I didn't remember as many facts about Wittgenstein's language games as they hoped I would (I personally feel I wrung that subject dry of facts) or the examiner just didn't like the pretention coming from a student and not just the philosopher who wrote the paper. I don't like to dwell on it, I find it ridiculous that I can contemplate feeling bad about it, but I know what I'm like. I try and dampen all of my achievements with the idea that there's another one out there I failed - a straight flush of A*'s is the achievement I'm trying to obsess myself with.
English is hard, oh boy it's hard. And, like Philosophy, it's about the day and the approach. Clearly, I had a good day, because an A* is beyond my wildest dreams - as is getting 98% in my coursework. My English teacher was beaming, and I made squealing noises that I think have yet to be registered on the scale. My first hug of the day came from the headmistress, which was lovely, alongside a whispering "you'll be dazzling", which has stuck in my brain since she said it - I am very sparkly, after all.
The shock was Classics - an A* in Classics. Unbelievable. When my teacher mentioned at parent's evening that, if I tried very hard, I might reach that goal, I half-scoffed and let my mind amble in the shallows of that idea for just a moment before moving on. I left the hall feeling good about that exam, but I never thought it had gone that well. 99% in Virgil - huh? I appreciate him, of course, he's a master, but I never thought that was possible. True, I integrated English literary terms in a Classics paper where it was unnecessary, but where there's polysyndeton, you can't ignore it, right? The same way I blended Classics into my English and spoke about a Virgilian hero in passing comment of the qualities of the Wife of Bath, it was random and I honestly didn't think, until now, that it would have meant much. That was until my teacher told me that the examiners made special mention of me (whoa Nelly) about my paper (which drives me even more insane about how I'll never be able to look at it and find out HOW!)
Today, I enrolled online as a student at the University of York. Today, I bought 32 books from Amazon and a bookmark that looks like a hotdog. I'm on my way.

The first part of their visit deeply affected not only Mr. Wilson but those accompanying him. The second pha^e was of an entirely different character. In the forenoon almost no residents were encountered. In the afternoon the appearance of the president at Ypres, Ostend, Zee- brugge and finally Brussels, was made the occasion of demonstra tions that might have been accorded a conquering hero. With the president and Mrs. Wilson were Miss Margaret Wilson, B. M. Baruch, Norman Davis, General W. W. Harts. Herbert Hoover, chairman of the inter-allied food commis sion. and Commander Baker. Belgian Heads Receive Them. The night run from Paris ended at Adinkerke. just across the Franco-Balgian frontier where King Albert, Queen Elizabeth and a party of Belgian officers waited to receive the president. There were no ceremonies on the train other than the ordinary greetings and introductions. Through the little station building whica had been elaborately decorated, the party moved to the long line of cars and began its trip Into the shell-torn and as yet, abandoned country. From time to time the cavalcade halted to permit these visitors to study at close range some bit of fortification or some piece of destruction that was unusually thorough. Xeiuport was the first halt. President Wilson, who was riding with King Albert, followed by Queen Elizabeth and Mrs. Wilson who descended from the next car and walk ed through what had been the city of Xieuport to the ruins of the canal. The only houses there which were intact or even habitable were one or two frame shacks which were recently erected for the entertainment of tourists. Examine the Trencher. From Xieuport eastward along the old line of trenches to Dixmude where the lines at one time almost touched each other, the party alighted at one or two places to examine the nature of the trenches. I? then went on toward Ypres. All that part of the ride was in an almost deserted country. There were very few refugees and there could be seen little attempt toward reclaiming the soil. It was like a dead country. Here and there a civilian was encountered but always his face expressed seemingly hopelessness. Ypres. however, showed greater display of animation. Notwithstanding the terrible destruction wrought there a few* former residents have found their way back and a dozen or more buildings have been erected to serve as hotels, restaurants, drinking places and small shops. They reflect the only industry in the place, catering to tourists, both official and unofficial. A semblance of civil government has been restored in this district and the burgomaster appeared before the president thanking him for what America had done for Belgium. The British garrison and a number of British nurses added to the crowd that gathered to welcome the party. The work of salvaging war material on the Ypres battlefield is almost complete but enough remained to add to the depression of the king and his guests. Chattered, battered and broken tanks on both sides of Ypres served to justify its characterization as * the tank graveyard." Luncheon in the Forest, The party had luncheon in picnic style in the Houltheut forest. This piece of wood. like all others in that zone, is but a skeleton of a forest. It was well back of the old German lines. In Menin where the work of destruction was less marked the people gave the party its first greeting of the day. The town was decorated and apparently all the inhabitants were in the streets. The town of Ostend was most interesting. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were taken out to the mole which was broken last April by the British and from there saw the rusting parts of the hulls of vessels which were sunk in the channel to the sea. Brussels was reached at 9:15 o'clock tonig (. Through the cheering crow*ds in the streets and past buildings bright with the flags of Belgium and the United States, the president was taken to the palace where he was presented to members of the household. He was tired with much driving at necessarily high speed over bad roads and retire! comparatively early. His hosts have planned a program for tomorrow which will take up every minute of his time until late at night. During the day he will deliver at least three addresses. Mr. Marvin Brown, Editor Ada Daily and Weekly News. Dear Sir: The News is a "cracker jack" paper. It is worth five cents a copy of any man's money and that is what you should charge for it on the streets. I have been taking the News for many years and it pleases me to see it making the improvements that have long been needed, and which have placed it in the metropolitan class. Ada has wonderful future prospects and nothing can help her realize them so much as a good newspaper. May the News continue to grow is the wish of ' Your friend, Overland Cars. J. W.
