I began my doctoral work at Indiana University researching and working at the Vincent and Elinor Ostrom Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis. All of my work owes its origins to here. The experiences there opened my eyes to new ways of thinking and attempting to understand the world. Like many Workshoppers, my training is grounded in institutional analysis and begins with case studies. From here, we were taught to expand methodologically as needed to answer the questions at hand. In my case that has included social network analysis, agent-based modeling, geospatial analysis, among others.
My time in Bloomington also served to develop relations with many other in the field, ultimately leading to my editorship, with Frank van Laerhoven, of the International Journal of the Commons (see link below).

Current Research Program
I currently have two projects that I hope to send out in the coming year.
The first is a solo piece, originally written for the Workshop on the Workshop conference of 2009. It's a piece on the complex nature of protected areas, specifically transboundary protected areas, and the goods and services that they provide. The draft is entitled, "Types of Goods and the Scale of Effects in Transboundary Protected Areas", for submission to the International Journal of the Commons.
A shorter version of this piece was published in The Commons Digest, Issue 10, as noted above, with a link on my publications page.
I am also working on a much larger project with Michael Cox, Sergio Villamayor, Elinor Ostrom, and several other colleagues from the Resilience Alliance Young Scholars group. This project examines the number of factors seen to contribute to long-enduring institutional arrangements in the governance of (generally) small-scale common-pool resources. We are conducting a meta-analysis that examines how these variables translate to the international scale. This project began with an examination of scaling up small-scale CPR work to larger-scale systems. It has since grown to take a life of its own. Currently, we have 15 scholars coding cases to populate a database. Plans for several publications are currently in the works with submission for a special issue in Fall, 2012 under way. These include:
Epstein, Graham, Chanda Meek, Irene Pérez, Michael Schoon. "Governing the Invisible Commons: Ozone regulation and the Montreal Protocol", under review with International Journal of the Commons.
Evans, Louisa, Natalie Ban, Michael Schoon, Mateja Nenadovic. "Explaining the Great in the Great Barrier Reef: The GBR Marine Park as a large-scale social-ecological system", under review with International Journal of the Commons.
This project has also blossomed into a collaboration with a number of international regimes scholars interested in examining cross-scale governance of natural resources. Stay tuned as this project picks up momentum. Other papers from this project and related work include:
Ban, Natalie, Louisa Evans, Mateja Nenadovic, Michael Schoon. "Challenges of Governance in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park: the interplay of multiple goods, ecosystem services, and property rights", under review with Ecological Applications.
Schoon, Michael L, Michael Cox, Martin Robards, and Oran Young. "Scaling Up CPR Theory – What We Now Know and Where We Are Going", for submission to the International Journal of the Commons.

Celia Sandys, Granddaughter of Winston Churchill, to Speak at LBJ School
The LBJ School of Public Affairs
Monday, October 28, 2013 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (CDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Celia Sandys, granddaughter of Winston Churchill, will speak at the LBJ School on Monday, Oct. 28, at 12:15 PM. The title of her talk is "The Power of Words: The Inspiring Leadership of Winston Churchill."
Sandys is a respected authority on Churchill with a well established reputation as an expert on the life of her grandfather. She is a sought after Churchillian guest speaker and has lectured in America, Britain, Canada, Japan and South Africa. Celia has appeared many times on television, recently in USA on C-Span, on Hardball, the Charlie Rose Show and on numerous TV documentaries about Churchill. She is the author of five books, trustee of the Churchill Centre and founder of Churchill Leadership Inc.
Celia travelled with her grandfather as a teenager and has met many of the political leaders that worked with him. In 2003, as part of the research for her book Chasing Churchill, she retraced many of Churchill's worldwide political and private travels meeting with people who recall Churchill. A combination of travel, art and history, it is currently being filmed as a major television series. Her book CHURCHILL has been adopted as the official book of the Churchill museum in London and is the accompaniment to the major ITV/PBS serial for which Celia was the series consultant.
In the aftermath of September 11th, 2001, Celia was inundated with letters from the leaders of the day. They all held a central message; that it was to the words and inspiration of her grandfather that they had turned to for strength and guidance when faced with the leadership challenges presented by this unprecedented trauma. "Your grandfather was a great source of inspiration and strength to me following the tragic events of September 11th" - Rudy Giuliani.
The full significance of Churchill, already heralded as the greatest leader of the 20th century was brought to the forefront. As Celia commented, "After 911 it was as if Churchill literally stepped out of the history books and back on to the international stage." and as a result Celia was inspired to write her book, We Shall Not Fail...the Inspiring Leadership of Winston Churchill.
This event is free and open to the public but registration is required. The event is co-sponsored by the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History and the Department of History at The University of Texas at Austin.

Destination: Mediterranean
Embarkation: Athens (Piraeus)
The food?fresh,varied,healthy,served with a smile in the restaurants or in the covered verandah.
Cleanliness?the ship was spotless
The itinerary?the ship ,being smaller,can access ports and harbours the large cruiseliners cannot. We were able to go to places not used to large crowds/tourists,and received a more genuine experience of the culture.Much thought has gone into the choice of ports,and there are inevitably some very interesting and less-visited spots on each itinerary.
The staff?helpful,friendly,professional
The recreational areas ?(gym,pool etc) More on the basic side,but most days are spent on land and one tends to walk and gain exercise that way. there are daily yoga classes.The gym has adequate and More well-maintained eqipment.
Library? Amazing collection of books,reference titles,decent novels,magazines all located in a comfortable room with a window wall....very pleasant,
Ambience? the ship is refined but casual in feel.No stuffy formal nights,no screaming kids (in fact none at all),no gambling,nice live music every evening and night.They do have trivia sessions and movie nights.
The cabins? Quite adequate. Less

Girl tells of Afghan gun massacre
As Robina took her seat wearing a deep red head covering and a nervous smile, she giggled as any 7-year-old in the spotlight might.
But when the questions began, she recalled how she hid behind her father when a gunman came to their village at night, how the stranger fired and her father died, cursing in pain and anger.
"I was standing behind my father," she testified by video feed from Afghanistan last night during a hearing for the soldier accused of killing 16 civilians, including nine children, in Kandahar Province.
"He shot my father," she said.
One of the bullets struck her in the leg, but she did not realise straight away.
Her testimony came on the second overnight session of the preliminary hearing for Staff Sargent Robert Bales, who prosecutors say slipped away from his base to attack two villages.
The killings drew such angry protests that the US temporarily halted combat operations in Afghanistan, and it was three weeks before American investigators could reach the crime scenes.
The stories recounted so far by the villagers have been harrowing. They described torched bodies, a son finding his wounded father, and boys cowering behind a curtain while others screamed: "We are children, we are children."
Bales sat quietly throughout, betraying no reaction to what he heard.
Robina's friend, Zardana, now 8, also briefly testified to describe what the gunman was wearing.
She suffered a gunshot wound to the top of her head and, when she arrived at a nearby military base, the doctors thought she had no chance of surviving and treated other victims first.
But after two months at a military hospital in Afghanistan and three more at a Navy hospital in San Diego, Zardana can walk and talk again.
The hearing at Joint Base Lewis-McChord is meant to help determine whether Bales, 39, will face a court-martial over the deaths. He could face the death penalty if he is convicted.
The Ohio native and father of two from Lake Tapps, Washington, has not entered a plea and was not expected to testify. His lawyers say he has post-traumatic stress disorder and suffered a concussive head injury while serving in Iraq.
The Afghan witnesses recounted the villagers who lived in the attacked compounds and listed the names of those killed, to provide a record of the lives lost. The bodies were buried quickly under Islamic custom, and no forensic evidence was available to prove the number of victims.
Sadiquallah, a slight boy of about 13 or 14 whose head rose just above his chair at the witness table, described being woken by a neighbour screaming that an American had "killed our men".
He said he and another boy, Zardana's brother, ran to hide in a storage room and ducked behind a curtain. It provided no protection from the bullet that grazed his head and fractured his skull.
Sadiquallah said the gunman had a gun and a light, but he could not identify the man.
The other child, Rafiullah, was hit in the thigh and also survived. He testified last night that an American had attacked them and put a gun in his sister's mouth.
His father, Samiullah, was away when the shootings occurred, and testified that by the time he returned the next morning, his two wounded children had been driven to a base for treatment. He found his mother among the four corpses at the compound.
"I just saw her, I cried, and I could not look on her face," he said.
Prosecutors said that in between his attacks, Bales woke a fellow soldier, reported what he had done and said he was going out to kill more people. The soldier testified that he did not believe what Bales said and went back to sleep.
During cross-examination of several witnesses last night, Bales' lawyer, John Henry Browne, sought to elicit testimony about whether there might have been more than one shooter.
One Army Criminal Investigations Command special agent testified that several months after the massacre, she took a statement from a woman whose husband was killed.
The woman reported that there were two soldiers in her room - one took her husband out of the room and shot him, and the other held her back when she tried to follow.
But other eyewitnesses reported that there was one gunman, and several soldiers have testified that Bales returned to his base at Camp Belambay just before dawn, alone and covered in blood.
A video taken from a surveillance blimp also captured a sole figure returning to the base.

About Ferris State: Ferris State University is a NCAA Division II school located in Big Rapids, Mich., with an enrollment of 12,578. The Bulldogs are a member of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC). Big Rapids is located in West Michigan approximately 60 miles north of Grand Rapids or 40 miles west of Mount Pleasant, Mich.
The Standings: The Bulldogs' hopes for a GLIAC Tournament bid are still alive as FSU is involved in a four-way tie for third place in the league's North Division entering this week's action. Grand Valley State has already clinched the divisional title (14-0) with Michigan Tech (7-7) currently second followed by Northwood, Ferris, Lake Superior State and Northern Michigan, which are all at 5-9 overall. Saginaw Valley State (3-11) rounds out the list. Gannon currently leads the South Division with a 13-1 conference record with Findlay in second a couple of games back at 10-3.
One More Week: The Bulldogs will play two of their final four GLIAC regular-season games inside the confines of Wink Arena starting this week. Next week, the Bulldogs visit Saginaw Valley State Thursday (Feb. 21) for a 8 p.m. (EST) league tilt in University Center, Mich. Ferris then hosts archrival Grand Valley State in the regular-season finale Saturday, Feb. 23, with the league home tilt starting at 7:30 p.m. (EST).
Home Split: Ferris split a pair of league games at home last week. FSU defeated Northern Michigan 64-59 Thursday (Feb. 7) before suffering a heart-breaking 65-63 setback to Michigan Tech Saturday (Feb. 9). MTU's Brandon Ball scored his only basket with less than one second to play to give the Huskies the win after Bulldog freshman guard Darien Gay (Detroit/Henry Ford) had tied the contest up with six seconds to play. Ferris played much of the second half versus MTU with a smaller lineup due to foul trouble. Freshman center Justin Keenan (Grand Rapids/Ottawa Hills) fouled out of the game after scoring 10 points with 12:48 left and redshirt freshman forward Lou Williams (Muskegon Heights) did likewise with 6:20 to play. Gay led FSU with a team-high 17 points in the contest while freshman guard DeJuan Wright (Detroit/Henry Ford) chipped in with 11 points and seven boards in the 100th series' meeting between the two teams. Keenan provided the production inside over NMU with 20 points and seven boards. Wright added 17 points and freshman guard Bryan Pasciak (Rockford) contributed 16 points. FSU rallied from a 16-point first half deficit in the win over the Wildcats. The Bulldogs trailed 43-27 with 16:25 to play, but limited the Wildcats to only 16 points the rest of the way.
Saturday Full Of Events: Ferris will be holding "Health Care Awareness Day" in conjunction with Saturday's home games. As part of the day's activities, health informational and screening events will be conducted free of charge for fans attending the day's contests from 1-8 p.m. (EDT) inside the facility. Displays and materials will be available for those interested in a variety of medical areas including diabetes, immunizations, heartburn, hypertension, oral health and eye health. In addition, diabetes, hypertension, oral cancer and general health screenings will be performed by students and professional staff from various FSU colleges. The event will also coincide with FSU's first-ever "Think Pink Day", which is an important initiative sponsored by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association to promote Breast Cancer Awareness.
Last Campaign: Ferris wrapped up its 2006-07 men's basketball season with an 10-18 overall record and made its fourth consecutive GLIAC Tournament appearance last campaign. The Bulldogs placed tied for third in the GLIAC North Division regular-season standings with a 8-10 league slate this campaign after advancing to the NCAA Division II Great Lakes Regional Tournament the previous two seasons. FSU captured back-to-back GLIAC North Division titles in 2003-04 and 2004-05 along with advancing to the NCAA-II Sweet Sixteen in 2004-05.

Head Coach Bill Sall: A 1994 Calvin graduate, sixth-year FSU head coach Bill Sall previously held assistant coaching positions at Calvin (1992-95), Ferris State (1995-98) and Hillsdale (1998-02) prior to being named Ferris State's 11th head coach. The Zeeland, Mich., native served as Ferris' interim head coach for a portion of the 1995-96 campaign and led the Bulldogs to a 5-8 mark. Before joining the coaching ranks, Sall was a standout player at Calvin from 1985-90. He twice (1989-90) received second-team National Association of Basketball Coaches Division III All-America honors and led Calvin to three Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAA) championships, four NCAA-III Tournament bids and the 1990 NCAA-III Final Four. Sall has a current 92-90 (.505) career mark.

The Sun Skater - Chad has no claim on the ice
The Chad-Shani tempest at Turin is instructive as an update on racial etiquette in Olympic sports. Speed skater Chad Hedrick haughtily criticized his erstwhile opponent for forgoing U.S. team pursuit to concentrate on making his-tory as an individual in the 1,000-meter race. By winning the gold medal, Shani Davis became the Jackie Robinson of speed skating and, along the way, rebuked the conceited Hedrick as a white spoilsport with a personal sense of entitlement. Indeed, the Davis triumph is a continuation of the lesson Black athletes have been teaching since Robinson took one for the team by stoically enduring terror from Dodgers fans and opponents to prove that he could indeed play major league baseball, the "white man's game."
In the '06 Winter Olympics it was revealed for all to see that Blacks can't play, well, curling. It may well be an aversion to the broom. Did you see a single Black curling? Case closed.
That Olympic curling is lily-white has nothing whatever to do with racism. This exclusivity, however, makes it a sure-fire bet to be the next hot club-sport craze. This pure Anglo-Saxon game is played on ice and Blacks just happen not to be "ice people," as Professor Leonard Jeffries maintains. Eons under the tropical sun not only curled their hair but thinned their blood. They simply cannot tolerate the freezing temperatures on the ice arena floor. Brrrrrr!
Besides, as discovered in the pioneering work of that great geneticist
Al Campanis, African-Americans just don't have the necessities for ice games. This Campanis theorem, as subscribed to by talk-show sports fans, holds for hockey as well as ice skating. "Sun people" can't stand the cold so they stay out of the ice arena. Besides, their calves are too small. To say nothing of their ankles. Ever see Black guys' ankles? No way these joints can withstand the centrifugal force of cornering on the ice oval.
Naaah, ice skatin's definitely a white man's game.
Back in the '40s, everybody knew this about baseball, same as at the turn of the millennium with ice skating. Skaters like Chad Hedrick were born to their entitlements. The "sun people" played basketball contentedly on their side of town. Blacks had more speed, less pain, more brawn, less brain. This impure approach was kept on the playground and off college campuses until deep into the '60s. First, there was a trickle of Blacks into college hoops. Then greedy, ambitious coaches broke the covenant and placed winning above white entitlement. In '66, a traitor out of Texas Western College took an all-Black team to the NCAA championship—and won. Basketball fell to the Black hordes.
All was not lost. White boys still had golf, tennis, rugby, ice hockey, tiddledywinks and the Winter Olympics. That was before Arthur Ashe, Tiger Woods, sort of, and most definitely Cherie Davis. This Chicago mother hooked her 6-year-old son on speed skating by feeding him quarters at the city rinks. Jeered by hoop-playing "sun people," Shani Davis stuck with ice skating. When the talent of the wunderkind proved irresistibly world-class, the speed-skating federation stepped in to put down this Black mother-son rebellion. Cherie was a handful. She accused the lily-white federation of running the sport "just like Augusta National Golf Club." Her son's sponsorships dried up. Skating was not to go the way of basketball. The pressure drove Davis to live in Calgary to skate in peace.
Since winning the 1,000-meter and edging Hedrick in the 1,500, Davis has been celebrated as a pioneer as well as demonized by Hedrick supporters, some media and nasty fans. Welcome to territory familiar to Jackie Robinson, who had pitchers throw at his head, base-runners slide murderously on him, all while his teammates stood idly by.
Chad Hedrick knows nothing of the terrible price Davis had to pay to lace up his skates at the Winter Olympics. This selfish oaf is insulated from concerns other than his narrow sense of racial entitlement, blind as he is to the real lessons of black American history. That great sucking sound is the yelping about speed skating as the latest lily-white sport to be breached by a Black athlete. Relax, Chad, there's always curling.

Several of the many events that have been held at Harrah's Metropolis Event Center are migrating across the river to Paducah and the Julian M. Carroll Convention Center.
The Convention Center Corporation board met Thursday afternoon and received positive news: Since Harrah's made the decision to close its Metropolis event center, the convention center has gained multiple bookings from former Harrah's customers.
"Once the events center announced it was closing, a lot of the bigger, local fundraisers called us almost immediately," said Jeff Foreman, director of operations with the Carson Center. "Other events are also showing interest. But we don't have gambling like Harrah's, and we also don't have a hotel yet. We have a pretty great convention center, but that hotel will put us over the top."
The CCC, which is owned by the city and county, pays the Carson Center to run its daily operations. The Carson Center will likely retain that contract until the downtown hotel is built.
Foreman said that Lourdes' Mardi Gras fundraiser along with several holiday parties and association dinners have already booked dates. The group is in negotiations to host Dancing with Our Stars, one of the biggest fundraisers each year in McCracken County.
The Harrah's event center announced plans to close in March. The casino's riverboat gambling will be moved inside and take up that space.
In other business, board Vice Chairman Brian Katz noted that negotiations with Senate Hospitality, part of a group developing the downtown hotel, are progressing at a satisfactory pace. The hotel is expected to open by summer 2015.
The long-range planning committee, led by Tom Padgett, introduced some new marketing ideas to the group. They include a more active Facebook page, along with an interactive website that shows off more of the convention center. The board also discussed testing the waters with a new naming-rights package for the convention center.

Udinese continue to fume at AC Milan penalty award
The fall-out from Udinese's highly controversial defeat at the hands of AC Milan shows no sign of abating.
With barely seconds remaining in Sunday evening's game at the San Siro, referee Paolo Valeri awarded the hosts a penalty when Thomas Heurtaux challenged Stephan El Shaarawy.
Debutant Mario Ballotelli then converted the spot kick to ensure a 2-1 victory.
In response, on Monday Udinese displayed a still image of the challenge on their official TV channel for a full hour between 13:00 and 14:00 CET.
Earlier in the day Udinese owner Giampaolo Pozzo pulled no punches in his criticism of the match official, declaring Valeri to be inadequate for the task of refereeing Serie A matches.
"He is one of those two or three referees who are technically unsuitable for refereeing. I've said so before – Valeri lacks the balance to referee in Serie A.
"It's always a lottery with him, and in that lottery we are always the losers. I still recall the incidents with Parma, Milan and the first match against Juventus.
"It was a disaster, he has no balance for fundamental decisions.
"He has given another gift to the opposing team, crucial to the outcome of the match."

This cup is advertised as a nutty and chocolate mate, but I thought the flavor was too light. I brewed two bags at once to really taste it. That makes this cup expensive. I will try the loose-leaf version to see if it's better.

Anybody have any experience with this ammo? I may be able to get a good deal on some 125g. It would be used primarily as range ammo but is it good SD ammo also? Yeah, I'd rather not shoot HPs at the range but I'm getting this a heck of a lot cheaper ($10 cheaper per box) than the FMJ I've been barely finding lately so it's actually my cheapest option right now. I'm mainly concerned about reliability, is it clean shooting and any other possible issues before I pull the trigger on this large purchase (1000+rds).
I'm still leaning towards DT 125/147g GD as my carry ammo as I start to enjoy my new G33 more.
Thanks for any input.
Well, the seller said that it's 'GDHP'. Maybe he is incorrect? I couldn't find any info out there thus my question here. I've seen the TMJ but not the HPs. What's with the "1st rate killing ammo"?
The highway patrol here carry Speer GDHP in theirs so thats what I have, I imagine its a pretty good killin machine
Well You Boys Gonna Pull Them Pistols, Or Whistle Dixie.
I've got Speer Gold Dot hollow points in 357 Sig 125 gr.
They chronoed at 1,315 out of my 33 and 1,334 out of the 32.
These came in 20 round boxes, although I've purchased Gold Dots in 50 round boxes in 40 S&W and 45 GAP.
I just emailed the seller again for clarification. He said earlier that it's coming in 50rd boxes so this isn't making sense. I'm thinking he made a typo and its TMJ/FMJ. If it is the actual Lawman TMJ or FMJ, is it still good range ammo?
Thanks again.
yep, they HP use it for practice rds. shoots like the GDHP
Well You Boys Gonna Pull Them Pistols, Or Whistle Dixie.
Good, dependable range ammo. Not super clean, but nowhere near as dirty as some out there. If you've got a good price, and it is real, then get it. Be aware that some people are reloading CCI/Speer components and claiming it is factory.

You have the power to donate life.
For .357 Sig, I've shot 125 GR FMJ Remington UMC, 125 GR. FMJ American Eagle, 140 GR. FMJ Sellier & Bellot, 125 GR. TMJ CF Speer Lawman, 125 GR. FMJ Winchester, 125 GR. GDHP Gold-Dot Speer LE, & 125 GR. SXT Winchester Ranger. I like Winchester's ammo. My brother prefers Speer's ammo.
125 GR. GDHP Gold-Dot Speer LE vs. 125 GR. SXT Winchester Ranger. I don't notice much difference. I have not shot a lot of either, as they cost more then I want to use for practice.
For practice, I don't like 125 GR. FMJ American Eagle. I like the 140 GR. FMJ Sellier & Bellot (but don't use it much as I don't think it is good for practice considering my go to 125 GR SD ammo).
For practice I tend to use 125 GR. TMJ CF Speer Lawman vs. 125 GR. FMJ Winchester. I think the Speer feels ever so slightly hotter. However, I'm more accurate with Winchester, so I use 125 GR. SXT Winchester Ranger. It is all minor, but something is different.
The only thing I can state for certain between the two (something more then minor, but not anything major), is I think the Speer is slightly cleaner shooting (vs Winchester) as in the barrel does not get as dirty, but nothing magical, it still needs cleaning after range time. This experiance is based on the 125 GR. TMJ CF Speer Lawman vs. 125 GR. FMJ Winchester (not the 125 GR. GDHP Gold-Dot Speer LE vs. 125 GR. SXT Winchester Ranger).
Summary, 125 GR. GDHP Gold-Dot Speer LE is good stuff, especially if you get a good price.

Thanks for the replies everyone,
It turns out the seller did make a typo. It isn't the Lawman but the actual Speer GDHP. I got about 900rds of it and another 150rds of various other ammo (Win. FMJ/HP, S&B) for $340 shipped. For .357SIG ammo and since I was looking at about $330 shipped with a two month wait for GA Canned Heat, I think he was offering a heck of a deal. I'm going to feel guilty firing HPs off at the range but it was available and I got it as cheap if not cheaper than run of the mill FMJ.
Wasabi - sounds like you got a hell of a deal. If you feel that guilty about it, send some my way!
Enjoy shootin

Impact of Materials on Reducing Stray Losses (T.E.A.M. Problem 21b)Transformers with MagNet for SOLIDWORKS
The following benchmark involves two exciting coils directed in opposite directions and shielded by non-magnetic and magnetic steel plates.
Problem 21b involves three different configurations of plates: one magnetic and one non-magnetic plate (referred to in this example as P21b-MN), two magnetic plates (referred to as P21b-2M), and two non-magnetic plates (referred to as P21b-2N). The flux density is measured along contours on the plates' surface and compared with measured results.
The purpose is to investigate the effects of shielding on flux densities outside of transformers. Shielding can be used to substantially reduce magnetic field strengths outside of a transformer, but the electric properties of the material can have a great impact on how the shielding affects the field strengths. Considerations must be taken to determine the type of shielding required for each individual application.
Presented here is an example based on the Testing Electromagnetic Analysis Methods (T.E.A.M.) problem #21b: 3-D Stray Field Loss. The benchmark can be found on the International Compumag Society's website.
METHODS and RESULTS
MAGNETIC FLUX DENSITY in the SHIELDING PLATES
To simulate TEAM Problem 21b, an AC Time Harmonic study was created in MagNet for SOLIDWORKS. The source current was modeled with sinusoidal input. Displayed here are the magnetic flux density plots for all three configurations of the steel plates. The two images on the left-hand side are for the case of one magnetic and one non-magnetic steel plate (P21b-MN).
MagNet for SOLIDWORKS' can be used to produce plots that show both the magnitude and direction of magnetic fields. Shown here is a plot of the magnetic (B field) for the configuration P21b-MN. The plate on the left is the magnetic plate, and the plate on the right is the non-magnetic plate.

OHMIC LOSS in the SHIELDING PLATES
Displayed here is a plot of the ohmic loss in the steel plates for each of the three configurations. The two images on the left-hand side are both for P21-MN.

INDUCED CURRENT DENSITY and DIRECTION
Current density (J field) inside the plates for each of the three configurations. The eddy currents induced by the changing magnetic field can be seen clearly with this view. The two images on the left-hand side are both for P21-MN.

COMPARING MAGNET for SOLIDWORKS & MEASURED RESULTS
The description of TEAM Problem 21b presents experimental data measuring the magnetic flux densities along contours off of the surface of the magnetic and non-magnetic steel plate in configuration P21b-MN. Shown here is a graphical comparison between the results that were generated by MagNet for SOLIDWORKS simulation and the experimental data.

Hello everyone! It has been awhile since I have posted anything, but I currently have a problem. Randomly my sound will cut out. My HU still has power, but no sounds come from any of the four speakers or sub. I noticed that both amps loose power and appear off when this happens. In addition, if I disconnect my faceplate and reconnect it, the amps regain power and sound comes from the speakers.
I cleaned the faceplate and the deck. I also checked the connections to amps and brain unit.
Any help or insight to a solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Champion Will Take Charge emerged from his runner-up finish in the June 14 Stephen Foster Handicap (gr. I) in good shape and could be aimed for a top race at Saratoga Race Course this summer.
"He came out of the race fine," said D. Wayne Lukas, who trains the Unbridled's Song colt for Willis Horton and Three Chimneys Farm. "We'll take a very serious look at the Whitney Invitational Handicap (gr. I, Aug. 2). This horse has an affinity for the Saratoga track."
Will Take Charge was voted last year's champion 3-year-old male after posting a 5-2-0 record from 11 starts that include his victory in the Travers Stakes (gr. I) at Saratoga.
The colt came into the Foster, Churchill Downs' marquee spring race for older runners, off a sixth-place finish to Foster winner Moonshine Mullin in the May 2 Alysheba Stakes (gr. II). He won the April 12 Oaklawn Park Handicap (gr. II) prior to that after posting runner-up finishes in the first two starts of the year: the Feb. 2 Donn Handicap (gr. I) and March 8 Santa Anita Handicap (gr. I).
Randy Patterson's Moonshine Mullin scored a 1 3/4-length victory in the $552,500 Stephen Foster, and trainer Randy Morse said he came out of the race well.
"He came out great, really great," Morse said. "We're just going to let this win sink in and we'll see what happens next."
Morse did mention he would probably take a string of horses back to Saratoga upon the completion of the Churchill spring meet, but did not say if Moonshine Mullin would be pointed to a specific race.

As you know, Coldplay will be backing up Beyonce at the Super Bowl on Sunday. They can use up all the minutes they want. The only minutes that will matter will be HER minutes. In addition to B, Bruno Mars is also confirmed to make an appearance. Which basically pushes Coldplay down to third position, really. Full Story
Gwyneth wants more sit-ups
Sharky /Splash News, GVK /Bauergriffin.com
Here are some new photos of Gwyneth Paltrow at LAX yesterday in a fitted turtleneck over boyfriend jeans. How many of us can walk around in a fitted turtleneck and not feel like we're holding in all our gas? Seriously, the longer I suck in, the more I feel like I have to fart. Anyway, the reason G doesn't have to worry about that is because she asks for extra abs. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
It was confirmed yesterday that Beyonce will join Coldplay during the Super Bowl halftime show. Which just made the Super Bowl halftime show SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING. And also just made Coldplay Beyonce's backup band. Read Full Intro
Worst of 2015: Chris Martin

Or my nickname for him, This F-cking Guy. The good news is, Martin Lawrence is over and Jennifer Lawrence doesn't have to be dating him anymore. Because This F-cking Guy gave us so much cringe the last half of the year. Just to recap – Chris Martin seemed to beg to be swallowed up by the earth whenever we saw him with HIS WIFE, Gwyneth Paltrow, during their marriage. Full Story

I have no plans to be in New York this month. Which is great because I want to be at home. But it never sucks to go to New York. And if I found myself in New York I'd totally hit up the Goop MRKT. The opening was last night. And, as you can see, Gwyneth Paltrow was there in Valentino. She's been wearing several pieces, themed starry Wonder Woman, exclusive to Goop. Full Story
Happy Thanksgiving from Gwyneth & Chris
AKM-GSI/ Splash News
Gwyneth Paltrow posted this group photo on Instagram yesterday. As you can see, her children, Apple and Moses, are there.

Coldplay & the Gorillas

And I don't mean Gorillaz because they would never let themselves be part of something so earnestly CRINGE. They made a big f-cking deal of the fact that Coldplay hasn't performed at the AMAs in 7 years. It's gross enough that every time I listen to this song I have to think about whether or not Chris Martin is singing about how Jennifer Lawrence flipped on the "on" switch for his dick, and the "magic" that took over him when he was inside of her. Full Story

Chris Martin is promoting Coldplay's upcoming new album A Head Full Of Dreams. In a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, Chris has revealed that he's sharing songs with several other voices outside the band including his own children, Beyonce, the Blue Ivy Carter, his new girlfriend Annabelle Wallis, and… Gwyneth Paltrow.

The Department of Sociology, History, and Political Science is an interdisciplinary department which offers courses in sociology, history, political science, anthropology, and social work. We pride ourselves in offering a quality curriculum with many opportunities for students to work closely with faculty doing independent research, internships, and/or other projects.
The Sociology program offers both a B.A. (30 credit hours) and a B.S. in Sociology (42 credit hours). Students may also choose the Traditional Sociology Track or an Applied Sociology/Human Services Track in either degree program. We also offer specialty concentrations (12 credits each) in Children and Families and/or Crime and Society. The Sociology program also offers a minor in sociology (12 credit hours.) Students in their senior year work with faculty in community agencies in internship experiences which provide practical work experience for students and help tie their sociology coursework to the real world. Students in the senior seminar conduct individual research projects, and many students present papers at student conferences. Students have the opportunity to attend regional professional sociology meetings. The program also has a Sociology Club and a dedicated Facebook page just for IU Kokomo Sociology Majors.
The History/Political Science program offers a B.A. degree (36 credit hours) with three possible concentrations that allow students to specialize in History, Political Science, or Law and Society. We also offer minors in History (15 credits), Political Science (15 credits), and Pre-Law (18 credits) and provide Pre-Law advising for the Indiana University Kokomo campus. All three of these programs include a required senior seminar in which students are expected to produce a significant piece of research and provides the opportunity for students to explore internships in the local community at historical societies, political organizations, and legal offices. We also support an active History/Political Science Club that runs its own Facebook page and works with our faculty to organize a regular series of forums on campus that focus on contemporary and historical issues in an interactive format.
For more information about these programs and our faculty, check out our other pages on this website or contact us.

That legendary grunge moment in fashion ! That grunge collection of Marc Jacob's for Perry Ellis that got him fired (and sent him on the road to Vuitton). That incredible 1992 Meisel shoot for US Vogue that counts as one of the most legendary editorials of all time. Here's Max's latest installment from his reference library.
The year was 1992. Kate Moss, Corrine Day, Juergen Teller, David Sims are all on their way up and are creating a new style of fashion out of London via The Face and ID. How will the gatekeepers of cool in NY react? For Marc Jacobs, the style of American bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana was like a gift from heaven, because with the music, came a very specific look. Marc takes the flannel and the thermals, the vintage dresses worn with combat boots and turns it into a deluxe collection in silk and cashmere with the prices to match. Steven Meisel takes the super-glamorous supermodels Nadja and Naomi and Kirsten and strips them of all the usual make-up for a very dressed down look. The Old Guard in fashion nearly lose their minds but the kids love it. It is one of the boldest statements ever seen in a mainstream magazine and that's why we rank it right up there as one of the fabulous editorials ever!
Anyone who bought any of these pieces actually owns a piece of fashion history. Everything from this collection has become priceless now. I bet Marc just loves that! Wouldn't it be funny if some young designer did a collection that referenced this collection/shoot?

The primary choices are Remington and Mossberg for reliable pump guns. If you can afford the extra bucks, the law enforcement versions of each already come with good stuff like a higher-capacity mag tube and sometimes ghost ring sights, as well as better care and attention to quality in the manufacturing process.
For home defense, a short barrel (18-20") is a big advantage over the much longer lengths (26" or more) for maneuverability. You would also like to have greater capacity than just the 4+1 common to the sporting models. Metal finish need not be fancy, and actually shiny/reflective finish is not what you want. A white light is a good addition to a defensive shotgun but a good one with mount will run a couple hundred bucks or more.
Remember to set some money aside for ammo and training!
