text: Bayer lawyers tell judge MIC unit is safe By Ken Ward Jr. February 22, 2011 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Lawyers for Bayer CropScience are trying to convince a federal judge the company's Institute plant is safe, even as a federal agency that investigated the facility continues to call for more inspections before Bayer's controversial methyl isocyanate unit is allowed to resume production.Bayer lawyers have provided U.S. District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin with copies of two reports by a company consultant they said concluded the MIC unit met requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.But on Friday -- the same day Bayer provided those reports to Goodwin -- the U.S. Chemical Safety Board wrote to OSHA and EPA to repeat its recommendations that both agencies conduct comprehensive, plant-wide inspections before the MIC unit is restarted.Board Chairman Rafael Moure-Eraso warned in separate letters to OSHA Director David Michaels and EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson that records in the lawsuit indicate Bayer has not yet completed a variety of important safety precautions.CSB investigators found that poor start-up procedures on Bayer's Methomyl-Larvin unit led to an August 2008 explosion that killed two workers, Moure-Eraso wrote, and the board is concerned "that a similar pattern is being followed prior to the startup of the MIC unit."Moure-Eraso pointed to a Feb. 12 "emergency motion" filed by Bayer in which the company said it had not finished writing new standard operating procedures or training employees following a complete redesign and rebuild of the MIC unit. Moure-Eraso said he did not see how Bayer "could possibly have completed" these required safety steps prior to its planned date for restarting the MIC unit.In responding to Bayer's motion, Goodwin said that he found it "remarkable" that Bayer "has yet to complete a wide variety of safety measure," just a week before its planned restart of the MIC unit.On Feb. 10, Goodwin had granted a request from 16 Kanawha Valley residents that he temporarily block Bayer from resuming production of MIC until they could get a full hearing on a lawsuit to stop the company from reopening its MIC unit. Goodwin has scheduled a hearing for Friday to hear testimony and legal arguments on whether he should grant a longer-term injunction.In its new court filings, Bayer provided Goodwin with two reports from Donald Lorenzo, an engineer with the consulting firm ABSG Consulting. Bayer lawyers said the documents showed the company "has complied fully with OSHA and EPA's process safety and start-up requirements." But in one of the reports, Lorenzo found that Bayer did not consistently document potential hazards in MIC piping and tanks. The 32-page, July 2010 report also found the company had not field-verified safety interlocks in the MIC unit, had no formal system to track safety recommendations, and had not set time limits for completing safety requirements to match OSHA guidance.Lorenzo wrote that the problems "focused on documentation" and "do not necessarily imply any deficiencies in identifying hazards or controlling risks of the MIC unit."Lorenzo's second report, dated Jan. 21, 2011, said that Bayer had completed about 95 percent of the items listed on a pre-startup safety review of the MIC unit. The 16-page report did not detail which items had not been completed.The case over restarting the MIC unit, which has been down for a reconfiguration project since August 2010, is the latest chapter in a 25-year effort by some Kanawha Valley residents to rid the community of the Institute plant's huge stockpile of MIC. Community activists have focused their concerns on MIC since December 1984, when a leak of the chemical killed thousands of people near a Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India.Bayer was preparing to start making MIC again within a week, following a project to remake the unit and reduce its stockpile of the chemical by 80 percent. That project was nearly completed when Bayer announced last month that it was going to stop making, using and storing any MIC at the plant by mid-2012 as part of a corporate restructuring and an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to cease sales of the pesticide Temik.At Institute, Bayer uses MIC to make aldicarb, the active ingredient in Temik. Aldicarb from Institute is shipped to another Bayer plant in Georgia, where it is used to formulate Temik. Bayer wants to restart the MIC unit so it can continue making aldicarb and Temik for another 18 months until the EPA deal takes effect. Over the weekend, hourly employees from the Bayer plant took out an ad in the Sunday Gazette-Mail to defend the facility where they work."We have the experience, training, knowledge and motivation to ensure safe operations at Institute," the ad said. "This area is our home too!"Reach Ken Ward Jr. at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1702.

Cognitive Psychology: Attention · Decision making · Learning · Judgement · Memory · Motivation · Perception · Reasoning · Thinking - Cognitive processes Cognition - Outline Index
Cognitive planning is one of the executive functions, it encompases the neurological processes involved in the formulation, evaluation and selection of a sequence of thoughts and actions to achieve a desired goal. Various studies utilizing a combination of neuropsychological, neuropharmacological and functional neuroimaging approaches have suggested there is a positive relationship between impaired planning ability and damage to the frontal lobe.
A specific area within the mid-dorsolateral frontal cortex located in the frontal lobe has been implicated as playing an intrinsic role in both cognitive planning and associated executive traits such as working memory.
Disruption of the neural pathways, via various mechanisms such as traumatic brain injury, or the effects of neurodegenerative diseases between this area of the frontal cortex and the basal ganglia specifically the striatum (cortico-striatal pathway), may disrupt the processes required for normal planning function.[1]
Individuals who were born Very Low Birth Weight (<1500 grams) and Extremely Low BirthWeight (ELBW) are at greater risk for various cognitive deficits including planning ability.[2][3]
Neuropsychological TestsEdit
There are a variety of neuropsychological tests which can be used to measure variance of planning ability between the subject and controls.
- Tower of Hanoi (TOH-R), a puzzle invented in 1883 by the French mathematician Édouard Lucas. There are different variations of the puzzle, the classic version consists of three rods and usually seven to nine discs of subsequently smaller size. Planning is a key component of the problem solving skills necessary to achieve the objective, which is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following rules:
- Tower of London (TOL) is another test that was developed in 1992 (Shallice 1992) specifically to detect deficits in planning as may occur with damage to the frontal lobe. test participants with damage to the left anterior frontal lobe demonstrated planning deficits (i.e., greater number of moves required for solution).
In test participants with damage to the right anterior, and left or right posterior areas of the frontal lobes showed no impairment. The results implicating the left anterior frontal lobes involvement in solving the TOL were supported in concomitant neuroimaging studies which also showed a reduction in regional cerebral blood flow to the left pre-frontal lobe. For the number of moves, a significant negative correlation was observed for the left prefrontal area: i.e. subjects that took more time planning their moves showed greater activation in the left prefrontal area.[6]

Marvelous Product
By Pete
from Ashburn, VA
This large stamp pad effectively covers sensitive information on a check, bill, or other document with an impenetrable grid of characters. Nothing beneath the grid can be read. This product is a wonderful, inexpensive, small-size alternative to a shredder. In addition, the pad is made in Taiwan, not China; that's always a plus for me.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I've used one of these stamps for a year or so and absolutely love it. This year I bought a couple for gifts. I still shred documents that have a lot of private information on them, but most of the time, it's easier to use the stamp if I just need to obscure my name and account number.

The large one is great because it obscures the name and adress. The smaller one obscures account information. Much faster than using a shredder and one can pop it into the recycling bin easily without little shreds flying around.

Artek to continue on as a separate entity.
Swiss Vitra acquired the Finnish company Artek on Sept. 6. Artek was founded in 1935 by architect Alvar Aalto and his wife Aino, art promoter Maire Gullichsen and art historian Nils-Gustav Hahl. They built it upon the business plan to "sell furniture and to promote a modern culture of habitation by exhibitions and other educational means."
"Vitra has held Aalto and Artek in high regard for decades," explains Rolf Fehlbaum, a member of Vitra's Board of Directors. "The Finnish design company is more than a collection of furniture; like Vitra it is a commercial-cultural project which plays an avant-garde role in its sector. For Vitra it is important that Artek can continue and further develop this role."
Artek will continue as a separate entity but synergies between different operations will be explored.
Mirkku Kullberg, Artek's CEO, says: "The international dimension, which was a clear goal already in Artek's founding manifesto of 1935, needed to be revitalized. That arena is where we want to be, and alliances or ownership arrangements are one way of building the future. In our judgment, having an owner from the industry was the best choice for Artek."
"This is a great opportunity for the Finnish design industry and a major move for Artek, lifting the company to the next stage," he says.
The core of the Artek product range consists of Alvar Aalto's furniture and lighting designs. Under its new portfolio strategy, Artek is extending the range and has acquired the rights to Ilmari Tapiovaara's furniture collection. In parallel, Artek also continues to work in close collaboration with prominent international architects, designers and artists, such as Eero Aarnio, Shigeru Ban, Naoto Fukasawa, Harri Koskinen, Juha Leiviskä, Enzo Mari and Tobias Rehberger.
The partnership between Vitra and Artek is based on shared values. Proventus CEO Daniel Sachs, former owner of Artek, explains the decision of the transaction: "Vitra has the ideal corporate culture, know-how and industrial resources to take Artek to the next level."

Thalassemia major
Thalassemia major
Thalassemia major is an inherited form of hemolytic anemia, characterized by red blood cell (hemoglobin) production abnormalities. This is the most severe form of anemia, and the oxygen depletion in the body becomes apparent within the first 6 months of life. If left untreated, death usually results within a few years. Note the small, pale (hypochromic), abnormally-shaped red blood cells associated with thalassemia major. The darker cells likely represent normal RBCs from a blood transfusion.

A staff change at the end of the season made matters more complicated for Georgia, but the truth was Mark Richt and his staff were not properly recruiting the class of 2010. The results showed on Signing Day that year, and two years later the class of 2010 looks even worse than it did that day.
Consider: Alec Ogletree, who will likely be taken in the first round of the NFL Draft, was the highest-rated player Georgia signed that year. All of the other four-star or better players Georgia signed that year have had non-existent careers at Georgia for one reason or another save defensive end Garrison Smith.
4-star Kolton Houston has never played a down; 4-star Brent Benedict didn't play much and left the program; 4-star T.J. Stripling has battled injuries from the start of his career; 4-star Michael Thornton hasn't played much in three years on campus; 4-star Demetre Baker was dismissed from the team; 4-star Ken Malcome couldn't get past injures or the depth chart and transferred; 4-star Jalen Fields never arrived in Athens; 4-star Jakar Hamilton never did much of anything in 2010 and transferred at the start of 2011.
That's pretty bad results.
The rest of the list, players Fox Sports Next considers three-star or less, has had mixed results, too.
Dexter Morant hasn't played a meaningful snap; Derek Owens transferred; Brandon Burrows hasn't played a meaningful snap; Hutson Mason has backed up Aaron Murray for three years; Marc Deas has played a big role on special teams; Michael Bennett was hurt in 2012, but is a very, very good receiver; Kenarious Gates is a multi-year starter on the offensive line; Zander Ogletree has emerged as an option at fullback; and Lonnie Outlaw never stepped foot on campus.
Most recruiting classes end up with mixed results - that's how recruiting goes. But even with that knowledge, the class of 2010 might be the worst Georgia has signed in the last 20 years.
As I suspected as such and wrote in the 2010 Dawg Post Recruiting Guide that Georgia's 2010 haul was going to need to be pretty much perfect to be a good class:
In recruiting retention problems occur. Every player you sign is not going to be productive – it happens. But in recruiting, like much of the rest of life, you need to have a wide margin of error. That didn't happen in 2005. I am worried that didn't happen in 2010 – particularly on the offensive side of the ball. Time will tell just what to make of the class of 2010, but the margin of error, unfortunately, is thin.
That was followed up by writing that Georgia needed to get its recruiting act together... which it did.
Georgia is going to have to change the way they do a few things in order to take advantage of a banner class in 2011. They need to fight out-of-state intruders. They need to be far more aggressive than they already are. They need to lock down several top-name players… before G-Day, which will create a ripple effect in the state for other top recruits. They need to reclaim South Georgia – home of what I consider the most passionate Georgia fans (the Dawgs did not sign a player from south of Albany). They need to reclaim South Georgia in a very aggressive and powerful way.
Recruiting classes like the 2010 class can be overcome… sometimes overcome more easily than expected. One recruiting class does not make or break a program – good or bad. But two sub-par classes in a row can crush a program. The ditch will be too big in the future with two sub-par classes in a row.
2010 is an example of how not to recruit; 2011, 2012 and 2013 are examples of how recruit, and the results on the field are starting to mirror Georgia's better job in recruiting.
It's amazing how far Georgia has come in such a short time. Part of the problem with 2010 was the small class size the Bulldogs were going to take. Small recruiting classes almost always equal problems eventually. Because recruiting is about providing a program a particular margin for error, signing a small class means there had better be very few mistakes – but there were plenty of mistakes in 2010.
The problem, it seemed at the time, was that Georgia was working under the assumption that prospects were going to go to Georgia because it was "Georgia". That's the wrong way to look at things. That thinking was corrected in time to reel in one of the better recruiting classes in Georgia history a year later. It was the class, no matter how much Georgia fans might not want to admit it, that had to have Isaiah Crowell in it. Crowell is gone now, but he served as a bridge to get Georgia to 2012.
The Bulldogs don't need to get into situations any more where they need a bridge to get to the next year… that's the point of recruiting. They certainly seem to have gotten that message loud and clear.

I have the above card and it didn't work out of the box in 5r3. The fix was very simple (adding a file to /lib/firmware). Can this be added to the main distribution, as well as maybe the other ones on that page?
Here is my thread with my solution: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ad.php?t=54302
I had no trouble injecting packages with the default driver I downloaded from there.
Recently I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad Y480 which uses an "Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200" wireless card.
I installed the BT5 r2 32Bits distro but I can't see my wireless card
I downloaded the driver found in http://intellinuxwireless.org/ and placed the ucode archive in /lib/firmware
then I tried
root@bt:~# prodprobe -r iwlagn
root@bt:~# prodprobe iwlagn
rebooted my laptop but still no luck.
Can somebody give me a hint? I have like a week working on it and I can´t get the wireless networkk to work
It is indeed modprobe, I misspelled the words.
Yesterday I could find a solution to my problem installing the stable compat-wireless release
I must to say mine was a Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200 driver but maybe it could help to the 2230 driver too.
Please head to http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ad.php?t=50808 to see more info.

Eds. note: The School of the Year was selected by Herald staff based on first-hand observations and voting by fans.
I imagine it's been a fun year to be at Arlington High School.
The Eagles have gotten at least one team to state in every season, had several teams continue to surprise throughout the state playoffs and even had one team head to eastern Washington and come back with a state championship.
The sustained success, along with a passionate fan base that seemed to follow the Eagles wherever they went, helped make Arlington the top choice for The Herald's School of the Year.
In the fall, the Arlington football team pulled off perhaps the greatest upset since the 1980 U.S. men's hockey team, when it defeated fourth-ranked Kentwood 21-14, clinching a berth in the state tournament.
Winter came and the Arlington basketball teams continued to surprise throughout the Hardwood Classic at the Tacoma Dome. The boys team placed at state for the first time in the team's history, finishing fifth. The Joe Marsh-led girls team got all the way to the championship game, where the Eagles fell to Mead.
The second-place finish was the best for any Arlington basketball team since 1982, when the girls team won the state championship.
The weather changed a bit come spring – it got a little bit warmer, I'm pretty sure – but Arlington's success did not. The Eagles' softball team went on a tear to finish the season, winning their last 11 games including the 4A state championship to bring back Arlington's first softball championship since 1986.
Lyndsay Leatherman was one of three Eagles to finish in the top 15 in the shot put at the state track and field meet, where Arlington finished tied for ninth. Leatherman placed third in basically every throwing event there is: the shot put, javelin and discus.
Dan Boyden finished second in the discus and fourth in the shot put and AJ Passalaqua finished fifth in the javelin at the state tournament.
At the wrestling Mat Classic Bryce Thomas got eighth in the 132-pound weight class.
Arlington even had Anthony Allen place 30th at the state golf meet.
Like I said, it was a good year to be an Eagle.

The research conducted by Assistant Professor Elizabeth Lipke and doctoral student Shantanu Pradhan in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering's Department of Chemical Engineering is part of a growing focus worldwide on engineering cancer tissue in a 3-D format, rather than the 2-D format biologists have traditionally used to grow cancer cells.
The research in Lipke's lab has historically focused on engineering cardiac tissue and developing cardiac regeneration techniques, but Pradhan found a link between that research and cancer-related angiogenesis, which is the growth of new blood vessels.
"Cancer is an area that biomedical engineers, and in particular tissue engineers, are just starting to get into modeling, but people have been working on tissue engineering for cardiac and other applications for a lot longer," Lipke said. "In terms of understanding cancer biology, we're really at the beginning of applying the things we know from other organ systems to understanding cancer in three dimensions."
The researchers say modeling the cancer tissue in a 3-D format is important because it simulates how cancer grows in the human body. Certain cancer drugs may kill cancer cells grown in a 2-D format, "but when the same drug is applied to a tumor growing in a 3-D format in the human body, it might not have the same effect," Pradhan said. "It might be much weaker. It might not be able to kill off all the cells as it did in the 2-D format."
The researchers create the cancer tissue using a biomaterial called PEG-fibrinogen, which is made of the synthetic polymer poly(ethylene glycol) and fibrinogen, a protein produced by the liver that is critical to the blood-clotting process. After combining the cancer cells with the PEG-fibrinogen biomaterial in a substance called a hydrogel, they keep the sample at a temperature similar to that of the human body and observe over a period of time that the cancer cells grow, much like a cancerous tumor in the human body.
Other researchers affiliated with the Auburn University Research Initiative in Cancer hope to use the breast cancer model to test cancer drugs that are under development.
The researchers are performing various tests to examine how the cells respond to the surrounding environment and to characterize the different properties of the cancer cells, such as specific genes or proteins that cause the cancer-like behavior.
Other cancer researchers at Auburn have expressed interest in testing the cancer drugs they are developing on the 3-D breast cancer model. One of the biggest advantages to testing on the artificial tissue is that drug trials performed on animals may eventually become redundant, Pradhan said.
Under the current trial system, cancer drugs are tested on mice or rats that have cancerous tumors, and if the drug has a positive effect, it may then be applied to human trials. Pradhan said a better model would be to test the cancer drugs on the artificial tissue, which is designed to simulate human tissue, rather than on an animal whose physiology is much different than that of a human.
Pradhan believes the 3-D breast cancer model has the potential to improve how drug trials are conducted.
Testing the cancer drugs on the artificial tissue could potentially reduce drug costs and the amount of time it takes cancer drugs to come to market in the future. The researchers say that will be a big public health benefit as cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of death in the United States each year.
The American Cancer Society estimates that one in eight women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer during her lifetime.
Research like that being conducted in Lipke's lab is a big reason why the Auburn University Research Initiative in Cancer, or AURIC, was founded in 2012, said Bruce Smith, the initiative's director. AURIC, housed in the College of Veterinary Medicine, utilizes a "One Medicine" concept that sees human and animal health as a single field where discoveries in one species advance health in both species.
"One of our goals is to be interdisciplinary, to bring people from different disciplines together and enhance cancer research that way …" Smith said. "And hopefully when we do that, we get new and better ways of approaching cancer."

Garth Brooks Adds More Atlanta Concerts
Listen to Garth Brooks Radio on iHeartRadio
Garth Brooks will be playing more than one show in Atlanta. The run on tickets for the country superstar's Georgia concert didn't prompt the same frenzy as in Chicago. But the demand led to two additional shows at the Philips Arena.
After tickets went on sale Friday for the originally announced date - September 19th at 6:30 p.m. - Brooks added a 10:30 p.m. performance, as well as a concert on September 20th.
Atlanta is the second city Brooks will visit on his upcoming world tour. When tickets for his opening night in Chicago went on sale last month, the demand led to the addition of nine more performances over a span of seven nights. The trek is Brooks' first in well over a decade. His concerts in Atlanta will be his first in that city in 18 years.

Ariel Castro now at Lorain County Correctional Institution
CLEVELAND - A Cleveland man sentenced to life in prison for holding three women captive for more than a decade and repeatedly raping and torturing them has been moved to a correctional institution in Grafton.
The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction reports Castro was moved Friday from a Cleveland jail to the Lorain Correctional Institution in Grafton, 24 miles away.
Officials say Castro won't go into the general population once he enters the state's prison system. He'll start his term isolated from other inmates for his own protection because of his high profile. Next, he will undergo a series of medical and mental health evaluations.

Perfect for Dorm Life

I can't say too much about it yet because my son hasn't started college yet. I had visions of people slamming the door and a mirror shattering. I thought this was the perfect solution. I also like the idea that the height of it can be adjusted, as we bought a rack that will go above it for hanging hats and jackets.

Mirror Has Pros and Cons
By Dru the Newfie lover
from St. Louis
True to its description, this mirror is very light weight, easy to install, and seems pretty impervious to the breakage one fears with a large mirror. However, it was also described as distortion free and this it is not. At close range, the reflection is clear and seemingly undistorted. Mine is at the end of a short corridor (about 9') and as I enter the corridor, my reflection is pretty distorted--like a fun house mirror. I am able to see a full length reflection that is pretty distortion free, once I'm up close. I believe the mirror is so light weight, it is too flexible, and it bows somewhat causing the distortion.

Charles had promised the Lorraine princes "not to force them to make friends with Coligny more than was agreeable to them."
Two years after, the army of Coligny appeared before Toulouse.
Coligny's army was chiefly composed of cavalry; of infantry he had but three thousand men.
Why did Coligny later wish to establish a colony in America?
Unfastening his doublet he unwrapped from around his body the treasure of Coligny, and tossed it upon the table.
What promise did Coligny make to the people of the Netherlands?
Seconded by Coligny, he planned alliances with all the enemies of Philip in Europe.
That speech of Coligny's was of all things the one he most desired to forget.
Coligny had failed to capture the town; he had lost several thousand good troops, and had raised the siege.

REVIEW: Oblivion
It's the year 2077; the world has been abandoned by all humanity after a war with an alien species makes Earth uninhabitable. The only humans left are a couple of technical caretakers who work to update and repair machines that guard huge aqua power-mining platforms.
The caretakers comprise of Jack Harper (Tom Cruise), a field tech that repairs downed robotic guard units. And his backup, Victoria (Andrea Riseborough), who surveys his missions and remotely watches his back. They work as a unit to complete the objectives they've been assigned by an overhead floating command.
With only two weeks left until Jack and Victoria are to rejoin the human race off-planet, an inbound spacecraft crashes into the planet and grabs Jack's attention. Curiosity turns to puzzlement as he rescues a woman (Olga Kurylenko) who is quite literally "of his dreams." As his reality crumbles and the truth comes to light, the ramifications of the world at large and the lie he has been living almost bring him to his knees.
Friends and enemies quickly change sides as Jack finds something and someone to live for. His only choice left, to forget the past and hopefully save the future…
First and foremost, Oblivion is quite beautiful; cinematic in every sense with great detail to the world at large. And while the story is inventive, I believe it loses something integral in the explanation arena. Reveals should be exciting and fun which was not delivered in a decisive way in this picture.
The other unfortunate victim in this movie is the plot which must be made of half Swiss cheese with all of the holes. Many alternatives were in constant play, only to have the final truth be less emotional than the sound arrangement would have you infer.
In the end, I believe direction takes a hit on this one. The gravity of the story fell with less of a bang and more like a ping. I wanted to like this movie, but as a true Sci-fi fan, it left me floating in space.
Grade: C+
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Running time: 2hr 5min.

Blackpool Central Pier
The Central Pier, Blackpool, Lancashire, UK
The Stone Jetty
The Stone Jetty in Morecambe was built as a rail terminus to serve ferries in the 1800's according the the sign on the building you can see. I quite enjoyed the Promenade this evening, I was a little early for sunset and had the family with me so couldn't wait around, but there are some very promising locations for the future here.
Due to unforseen circumstances I didn't manage to get out with the camera today, although I did manage a 5 mile run in the dark off road with a head torch and a lot of mud which was exhilerating! So here is one of the moon setting between the pillars of the North Pier in Blackpool. I'm not being as strict with this project365, where I am able to publish one new image a day and not nessessarily have taken it today...

I raced up Scout Scar this evening to see what the sunset would be like, I did get there in time, but it wasn't quite as spectacular as I'd anticipated. The cloud was just a bit too dense. This one is looking away from the sun to the East were the clouds were a perfect orange and this singular tree cried out to be photographed. HDR from a single file.

Curriculum Timeline
The Paideia Seminars and clustered courses will be offered multiple times over the course of a cohort's academic career in order to ensure sufficient flexibility to accommodate a student's major and other degree requirements.
Paideia features six themes in the first full year. Attached to each theme will be a cluster of courses offered over a cohort's first three years at SU. Students will be required to take (at least) three of the clustered courses associated with their chosen theme. The culminating experience of Paideia is a theme-based, team-taught interdisciplinary seminar (the Paideia Seminar). Completion of, three clustered courses related to the theme is the prerequisite for the Paideia Seminar.
The following time-line is to help understand how a student will move through the interdisciplinary Paideia. The chart below illustrates cluster courses and Paideia Seminar available to a single student as he or she progresses at Southwestern. The student would select three cluster courses and one seminar from the courses and seminars available.

Students will be introduced to the interdisciplinary themes during their first semester and could start taking courses associated with those themes in their first year. For the first three years of a theme, multiple clustered courses will be available each semester (see illustration above). This should allow students sufficient opportunity to complete three courses associated with their theme before enrollment in the Paideia Seminar. Starting with the spring semester of a cohort's junior year, each Paideia Seminar will be offered every semester.

We've all heard the buzz lately. Architects are reporting more work on the boards and more calls from potential clients. Some dare to call themselves "busy," while crossing fingers against a jinx. Finally, there's real data to support those good vibrations. The AIA's latest Home Design Trends Survey shows substantial improvement in nearly every sector of residential construction. These second quarter 2013 results, drawn from AIA's residential-focused firm leaders, indicate special strength in additions and alterations but, most encouragingly, they also track substantial increases in "custom/luxury" homes. The improvement is, mercifully, country-wide, and especially strong in the South and Midwest regions. Backlogs of work are growing as well—as much as four months of business waits in the wings.
I'm gratified to see the custom home market improving, because it remains the bread and butter (or should we say, paté?) of most residential architects. Remodeling certainly kept many alive during the Great Recession, and it will continue to provide a long tail of work into the future, but new custom homes are where the best challenges and opportunities lie for our compadres. Not only are custom homes coming back, but they're coming back bigger. Despite the resonance of the "not-so-big" message championed by Sarah Susanka, the average American single-family house crept up to 2,585 square feet in 2012, the largest it's been since the Census began collecting the data. And the latest averages for housing starts show this number growing even larger—to 2,647 in the second quarter of this year. That's good news for architects—although perhaps not for the planet.
Alas, the AIA survey does hit one sour note: Weakness remains in the "vacation/second" home market, which is also traditionally a source of work for architects. A glimmer of hope gleams amid the numbers, though, as only 8 percent of respondents reported a decline in that market versus 48 percent in 2012. I'm personally relieved to hear this, because I bought a second home in 2011. Brilliant move or tragic mistake? Time will tell.
I bought my house under the guidance of both my head and my heart. On the heart side, it's in a beautiful rural location with lots of room for my young son and three dogs to run and make joyful noise. On the head side, I bought at the nadir of the market with an eye to retirement one day. Helpfully, the house was designed with accessibility in mind—all on one floor with a no-threshold shower.
Turns out, I'm not alone in balancing present and future needs in my house. The AIA Survey underscores an emerging awareness of our aging population's needs: There are more requests this year for ramps and elevators and for first-floor master bedrooms. Even if clients don't need them now, they know they may someday. Or, as in my case, their live-in parents or elderly pets may use them first. Call it resilient floor planning.
Also noted on the survey is a growing interest in environmental resiliency: Solar panels, backup power generation, and "hurricane resistant design" racked up higher numbers than they had in 2013. We were resilient enough to survive the economic crash, and we now expect the same from our buildings going forward.

While there is no shortage of opinion on how to reduce gun violence, the perception persists that established facts are unknown. Without facts, the entrenched opinions of gun rights and gun control advocates dominate the debate but are of little value in defining effective policy. Facts based on objective studies using proven methods are required. In fact, many such studies have been performed and their results strongly support the case for tighter gun restrictions.
The premises underlying each side's position in the firearms debate are relatively straightforward. The premise for gun-rights advocates is that firearms are an effective means of protecting one's home and family. The best research available proves this premise is false. Multiple epidemiological studies conducted with methods used to determine if new drugs are safe and effective agree that owning a firearm actually increases the risk being a victim of firearms violence.
As an example, investigators at the University of Pennsylvania conducted an elegantly simple study. They tallied victims of gun assault, determined whether they had access to a firearm and, if so whether they had a chance to use their firearm in defense. Victims of self-inflicted and unintentional firearms use were excluded. The results demonstrated that those with firearms access were over 4.5 times more likely to be shot in an assault than those without. Even more striking, gun owners who used their weapons in defense were 5.4 times more likely to be shot than those who did not.
These findings turn the rationale for owning a firearm on its head, but are not surprising. Assaults happen under circumstances favorable to the perpetrator, not the victim. In short, they're ready and you're not.
Studies supporting the efficacy of firearms in preventing assault do exist, but are not based on objective and verifiable data. Instead, they are based on accounts of gun owners describing how they used their firearms in self-defense. These accounts are not sufficiently reliable. They reveal as much about gun owners' emotional attachment to and personal identification with their firearm as they do about personal safety and they do not take into account the fact the owner may perceive a non-existent threat.
Fewer epidemiological studies testing whether firearms restrictions effectively prevent U.S. gun violence have been completed. Nevertheless, an extensive, recently published study presents a compelling case for tighter controls. Epidemiologists at Harvard University and Boston Children's Hospital examined all U.S. firearms-related deaths between 2007 and 2010 and determined whether they occurred in states with restrictive or non-restrictive firearms control laws. They found that gun related deaths averaged 42 percent lower in states with the most restrictions in comparison to states with fewer restrictions. The disparity in frequency of gun deaths in states with and the least and most restrictive laws was staggering. Gun mortality in Louisiana (18 per 100,000 persons), a state with few restrictions was over five times higher than in Massachusetts (3.4 per 100,000), a state with tighter restrictions. Requirements for background checks and permits were associated with the lowest rates of gun violence.
In deeds, if not words the NRA implicitly acknowledges that the epidemiological evidence is against them. In 1995, the NRA effectively lobbied Congress to prevent the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from conducting studies on gun violence. President Obama's recent executive order establishing resumption of these studies is the proper response.
Effective solutions to gun violence must be based on reason, not opinion. Reason depends on established facts and facts depend on objective studies conducted using proven scientific methods. Compelling evidence suggests that greater restrictions on gun ownership, especially universal background checks and permit requirements will be effective. These measures will certainly be difficult to implement in the face of strong opposition. However, the high cost in human life of inaction and the sense of urgency after the Sandy Hook tragedy suggest that the time to implement them is now.

For many, the weeklong clerical workers strike did more than shut down two-thirds of the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the nation's busiest seaport complex.
More than 40 miles away from the picket line, truck drivers at Genesis Intermodal Delivery's West Coast operations in Pomona were unable to do their jobs until Wednesday after the strike was resolved.
"It put some drivers out of work because we didn't even have enough work to keep them busy," said general manager Mark Adams.
Meanwhile, some vendors continued to wait for goods stuck on container vessels.
"My customers are calling because their ships (are) still out on the bay," said Brenda Donelan, an agent for Mason Dixon Intermodal.
Although the true economic impact of the strike has not yet been fully realized, port officials are estimating the potential loss to both ports is anywhere from $110 million to $540 million a day.
This is lower than the roughly $1 billion being estimated by some economists and other industry observers, based on the $350 billion worth of goods handled annually by both ports.
That's because the $1 billion number applies to a loss from a complete shutdown of both ports, but since four of the 14 terminals remained open, those terminals took on a lot of the goods overflow and somewhat curbed the daily economic loss, said Port of Long Beach spokesman Daniel Yi.
The ports could recoup some of that loss now that the goods are free to move through the ports, but if some products, such as perishable goods, sat idle longer, the loss would be harder to recover, Yi said.
"There is going to be some economic losses to the port administration," said Geraldine Knatz, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles. "There is cargo that has been diverted that won't come back. There were fees associated with that. Our hope is that because the strike ended, we were able to get everyone back to work so fast that we were able to minimize those economic losses. We have people who lost a week's pay. Those types of things will have ripple effects."
Christopher Lytle, executive director of the Port of Long Beach, said the quick resolution helped to stop further losses.
"If it had gone on longer, it would have been tougher to dig out, but as of right now with the ships we have and the backlog of ships at anchor and at berth, we'll be fine," he said. "I don't think we'll lose a lot of our market share."
The strike's effect was felt in nearly every part of the supply chain, from the roughly 5,000 International Longshore and Warehouse Union dockworkers who chose to respect the picket lines to railyard workers who didn't work because trains were not moving goods.
Union Pacific issued an embargo for all international traffic destined for its International Container Transfer Facility at Long Beach, and all "on dock" locations at both Los Angeles and Long Beach, with the exception of TraPac, Pier A and PCT terminals, said spokesman Aaron Hunt.
The impact of the strike reverberated nationally, affecting everyone from families unable to retrieve their furniture and other personal belongings after relocation to a Kentucky auto assembly line that may soon run out of parts, Yi said.
About 60 percent of container cargo flowing through the two ports is destined to points outside of Southern California, much of it to warehouses in Chicago, he said.
Yi added that about 40 percent of the nation's auto parts come through the Long Beach and Los Angeles ports.
Port of Long Beach officials have been getting calls from vendors about the state of their shipments since the strike began, including movie rental company Red Box, which is expecting a shipment of parts that maintains its kiosks, Yi said.
About $650 million worth of electronics, apparel and other goods were sitting idle at the seaport complex, Yi said.
Although hauling goods to and from the ports isn't the most important part of Genesis Intermodal's business, the work stoppage at the ports prevented the firm from returning some empty containers to Los Angeles and Long Beach, according to Adams.
Other delays for transportation firms across the lengths of supply chains could mean shipments to the East Coast could be delayed one week, Adams said.
It may take as many as two weeks for goods-movers to return to a normal pace of business, according to President Richard Bartolic of American Pacific, a Chino-based trucking firm.
Like Adams, Bartolic said the strike prevented some truckers from earning their usual income.
For the most part, Bartolic said economic disruptions from the strike would likely be concentrated among those who make their living moving goods.
"I think it's probably more relegated to the industry itself. Certainly, there may be some retailers that don't have goods on the shelves in time for Christmas," he said.
The last time the twin ports experienced a shutdown of this magnitude was a decade ago, when the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles were among the 29 West Coast ports shuttered in 2002 because of a 10-day lockout imposed by the shippers' group Pacific Maritime Association.
The move at the time was in response to what they perceived as an organized work slowdown by the union, which the union denied.
The October 2002 shutdown nearly delayed the delivery of holiday toys and goods to store shelves throughout the United States. Some factories halted operations for lack of supplies, and vendors had to scramble for alternate suppliers.
This time, the San Pedro Bay-centered strike forced companies to redirect dozens of container ships to Mexico, Panama and Oakland, which received most of the diverted vessels. At least a dozen more remained at anchor, waiting out the strike to enter the ports.
About 40 percent of the ports' cargo is bound for Southern California, Yi said.
"This stoppage hurts Southern California the most," he said.

LONG BEACH — John Watkins, a 4th District City Council candidate, was a plaintiff in the "donning and doffing" class action lawsuit won by Long Beach police two years ago, according to the City Attorney's Office.
The city was represented by outside counsel in the case, which was brought by police seeking compensation for allegedly unpaid time spent putting on their uniforms and protective gear, waiting in court, attending briefings, attending classes and other routine tasks.
Police officers, including Watkins, were given 47 vacation hours over four years in a settlement. Long Beach also paid attorney fees of $300,000.
Of the 899 current and former officers that signed on to the lawsuit, 120 dropped out before the agreement was made, but the terms of the deal were applied to the 883 officers then in the department.
Watkins retired in December 2010, the month the settlement was announced.
Under the provisions of the agreement, police who retired before the four-year life of the settlement expired would put their unused vacation hours into their sick hours bank, an account that can be used for medical expenses after retirement.
Watkins couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday.
Steve James, president of the Long Beach Police Officers Association, which wasn't a party in the case, said the settlement has resulted in positive changes.
Before the agreement, officers would work security at a movie set and not be paid until after they had donned their uniforms and equipment at a station and driven a city-owned police vehicle to the set, according to James. Now, they are paid for the entire process.
"There absolutely were some legitimate claims in there," James said.
According to James, attorneys should be held accountable for problems that the lawsuit caused the city, which at the time was battling multi-million dollar budget deficits.
Attorneys bolstered by wins against California cities in similar cases approached police in Long Beach, said James.
"They went and sold a bill of goods to these folks, how the city was violating federal law," he said.

Review Details
A-2 Jacket, Flight Jacket
- Product Review (submitted on July 21, 2010):
- I'm sorry it has taken me so long to send in my comments. As soon as I ordered my A-2 jacket the weather turned warm for several weeks. Now that we have had some cooler days and I have had a chance to wear my jacket, I can give a much more accurate evaluation. My praise as to the jacket's authenticity won't mean much, as I am no expert in this area, however I will say that the jacket I received incorporates every design feature I have been told indicates an authentic reproduction. I can give a much better evaluation to customer service and quality. My job is in quality assurance for a major electric utility. In all of my correspondence with U.S. Authentic, getting me what I wanted was the company's only concern. I ordered an A-2 jacket and a leather squadron patch. Mr. Dover suggested that before they attached the patch to the jacket, I should probably try the jacket on to make sure the fit was right. If the jacket did not fit and it had a custom patch attached, it could not be returned. I am glad he made the suggestion. The jacket I received fit exactly the way I wanted. It was made of beautifully grained horsehide. The patch was of such high quality, I decided not to have it attached to the jacket and to incorporate it into the display of the B-17 model I am building. Everyone involved worked to make sure I got the products I wanted and I do not have a single complaint. I would recommend U.S. Authentic to anyone who is interested in the quality products and services they offer.
